I couldn’t disagree more with this proposition. Democracy by definition requires the input of all stakeholders.

REPRESENTATIVE government by democratic election is what the author is describing.

Democratically elected representatives should be making their decisions in the best interests of their constituents-and they only learn that majority opinion through meetings and surveys.

Political parties,in my opinion, are a scourge on representative democracy. Representatives are forced to abide by the party policies rather than the voices of the people—so that the agendas of the party elite are achieved.
Scientists Unearth 20M Years of ‘Hot Spot’ Magmatism Under Cocos Plate
It's not the whole story but part of what makes accessibility hard is toolkits not being designed with it in mind from the beginning. That's how you end up with things like accessibility "modes" that are really just skin deep themes instead of proper modes.

Good accessibility capabilities requires flexibility to be at the core of the UI toolkit. You basically can't make assumptions anywhere.
You don't have time to review every HTTP request as it happens, but if something goes wrong you can examine all of those HTTP requests to find out what. Similarly, IT security at many institutions, including those that handle classified information, seem more concerned with ensuring the culprit can be discovered when a leak happens than with making the information systems more leak-resistant.

It's enough for the executives that the information is gathered and the audit trail established. Honestly, getting an auditable log of the developers' thought process is such a wet dream for management at software shops that companies will use any excuse to become a dystopian hellscape in pursuit of it. One such company used the following rubric: Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley act requires full auditability of anything that may affect the company's stock price, including the software's source code and any changes made thereto. Therefore, all developers must make a log in the bug tracker of what they're doing every 15 minutes to ensure an audit trail of developer activity.

Agile just happens to be the excuse that gained traction, because it's easy to dress up as something that's good for developers and it's not as ridiculously onerous as the above.
Why would anything, except possibly something particularly easy to ignite on a surface, ignite? The only thing being heated dramatically is the air, and a whole lot of cool water would be spraying everywhere at the same time.
I'll say. If it's cool and it kills you, it's a bad idea.
No, do not do this. Use Matrix, or...anything else really. I tried building on top of IRC a decade ago and it was a more forgivable mistake back then, but a mistake nonetheless.

I've read about half of them, seen more than a bunch live and in film, enough to annoy the kids.

Some versions I like:

* David Tenant's Much Ado about Nothing. Kenneth Branagh's is good too, and easier to find.

* Branagh's Henry V.

* I actually like Mel Gibson's Hamlet.

* Almost any Midsummer's Night Dream. It's just a fun play, even kids can enjoy it.

* The Coen Bros' Macbeth on AppleTV

* Rosencrantx and Guildenstern are Dead. Hamlet, but exits are entrances.
Arguably the features in themselves are the main issue with C++.

That's a misleading summary. The driver was incapacitated, it was the first responders who couldn't open the door with the flush handles. The Model S in question has a normal, physical interior door handle. Presumably the first responder could have smashed the window and opened from the inside, but may not have had the tool. This outcome is indistinguishable from one where a first responder was presented with an ICE vehicle where the doors were locked.

You were right man! Tragic. I'm hoping you're a navy insider and can feed us interesting tidbits about UFOs. Any stories? Do you know how the Navy detected the anomaly? Was a ship nearby or was it their monitoring grid? It's good they informed everyone--I had a feeling they definitely knew what happened or would be the ones who would find it.
This is a surprising ranking. I haven't read or seen every play yet, but I've seen or read a majority. The Tempest is one of my favorites! The '79 Trevor Nunn/RSC Macbeth with Judi Dench and Ian McKellen is incredible!

I'd have liked more detail from the OP about all the versions watched, and also which of the plays he'd read.

Yeah, for things like realtime voice calls as Revolt offers, there's no point in trying to bolt on to IRC.

You can (ab)use IRC as a generic datastore, the same way you can Twitter, SMS, or anything else that allows for data to be stored, but it's a terrible idea, and you'll end up with something overly complicated and without any sort of compatibility with generic IRC clients.

And honestly, complaining about Electron apps is just lazy. It may not be the choice you make when you have unlimited resources and time to write separate native applications for every platform, but it's perfectly accessible for a first iteration. Also a great way to make sure all your platforms can have roughly the same behavior. Would much rather have an Electron Linux app (which is easy to port and costs little to maintain) than no client at all.

Part of the problem is that it's hard to build native toolkit wrappers in a way that's "sexy". Cocoa, Win32, GTK, etc are boring old retain mode UIs using boring old patterns which lends to their wrappers being written the same way. Trying to write a React-style wrapper for example is not going to be fun because you're fighting the very nature of what's under the hood.

This is difficult to answer. What can be shown is the post-WWII era has been unusually peaceful within the scope of the modern era of nation states. We’re coming up against the century of no great power conflicts of the Metternich Era.
People are going to trash the vision pro for the next couple of years. In the next 5 years or so its going to be apples best selling product to date.
The Wii did well as a fad but most of its buyers just toss it in the closet after the novelty wore off.

The PlayStation 3 was a screw up. It was too expensive and came out late after the 360. It damaged Sony’s reputation somewhat but did alright despite Sony’s misstep IMHO due to the PS2’s clout.

The Saturn … so many mistakes by Sega. Got trounced on price by the PlayStation. Was rushed to market at the last minute to try to beat the PlayStation to the market, resulting in shortages and uneven distribution that piss off retailers and limited launch titles. The earlier launch date also pissed retailers off because they have to adjust floor space and piss launch title developers off because their titles can no longer make the new date and they were banking on the visibility of being a launch title. There was mixed messaging with the launch of the X32, which flopped, relatively close to the Saturn’s launch too which hurt consumer trust. Sega burned a lot of bridges.

All things being equal this generation, the PS4’s tremendous popularity IMHO helped the PS5 pull ahead of the Series X - don’t get me started on the confusingly named cousin system the Series S.

Add to that the fact that it didn't surface by releasing the ballasts. It lost communications before it reached the wreckage. The pilot needed that communication to find the wreckage.

Maybe they would have continued to make the attempt. But unless it got snagged, the ballasts were designed to break off after 24 hours and rise to the surface.
15+ years ago, I worked for an Australian university. We had a project to migrate to a new student email system – we were going from Novell NIMS (hosted on NetWare) to Sun/iPlanet/JES Messaging (on Solaris).

We asked our disability services office to review the webmail's accessibility. The manager of that office was a blind woman, who was both a staff member and a student, so she had her own personal student account. She told us she couldn't use Sun's webmail, it wouldn't work at all with her screen reader. We complained to Sun, their response was "we know, wait for the next major version".

What did we do? We offered her a shell account on a Solaris box with Pine, and told her that we'd offer the same to any vision-impaired students or staff members who requested it. And she was happy with that solution.

IANAL a lawyer, but from my understanding of disability discrimination law (which is different in different countries anyway), you are legally obliged to offer "reasonable accomodations" – which doesn't have to necessarily be by making the application accessible, it could be offering access to an alternative application instead.

Also, you are only obliged to provide accessibility if a disabled user asks for it, which assumes you have a user with a relevant disability – if your application is sufficiently niche, that might never happen. Suppose you build an internal GUI for SREs to use. Do you need to make that accessible for the vision impaired? Well, are any of your SREs vision impaired? If the answer is "no", then legally you don't. Maybe one day you'll employ a vision impaired SRE – at which point, then you will be obliged to make it work for them. But, maybe you never will, in which case you'll never have that legal obligation.

Yes. That was the point of freedom of the press. Anyone with a printing press could print whatever they want. But today, journalists would call it spreading misinformation. Freedom of the press didn't mean state-corporate journalism originally.

> 2. By your reasoning, electricity isn't a key part of city infrastructure because we had cities before electricity. Sure, it's nice to have...

More like claiming that electricity is a key part of democracy. It definitely is nice thing to have, but not sure it's needed for democracy. Without journalism, without electricity, we can have democracy.

> we have more reliable engines

I think one of the best inventions to really come into use in the last 25 years is multi-layered steel (MLS) head gaskets. A lot of cars use to pop head gaskets regularly when they were made of compressed paper and other things. After the switch to MLS, even shitty Dodges could go the life of the car with a blown head gasket. Not blowing a head gasket means a lot less wear on every other part of the engine: no more oil in your coolant, coolant in your oil etc.

https://www.underhoodservice.com/the-evolution-of-mls-gasket...

That and stainless steel exhaust systems are underrated inventions. I remember seeing dropped mufflers on the side of the highway regularly when I was a kid. Then it just kind of... stopped. Didn't find the reason until many years later: the switch to stainless exhausts.

SUV's are very popular among women - 43% of buyers. The industry research says that women feel safer driving them - the size makes them feel more protected, and the ride height lets them see the road much better. (Lest it go unsaid, women are on average less tall than men)

I found this on YouTube a couple of years ago, and yes, it's great.
There are experts on every topic, you shouldn't be surprised to hear from them when that is the topic of discussion.
I was curious how ChatGPT would actually compare these frameworks to each other in coffee metaphors, so here you go:

- Vue is like a latte. It's smooth, easy to drink, and has a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. It's also very popular and widely available. Vue is a progressive, incrementally-adoptable JavaScript framework for building UI on the web. It has a good and intuitive documentation, a large community, and a simple syntax. Vue is also performant and fast, and supports component-based development.

- React is like an espresso. It's strong, concentrated, and gives you a lot of energy. It's also the most searched and used framework among the four. React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It has a large community, a lot of resources, and a high performance. React also uses JSX, which is a syntax extension that allows you to write HTML in JavaScript.

- Angular is like a cappuccino. It's rich, creamy, and has a lot of foam on top. It's also very complex and requires a lot of skills to make and enjoy. Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. It has a fast server performance, an MVC architecture implementation, and a good documentation. Angular also has a steep learning curve and is very complex.

- Svelte is like a cold brew. It's refreshing, smooth, and has no bitterness. It's also relatively new and innovative in the coffee world. Svelte is a new way to build web applications. It's a compiler that takes your declarative components and converts them into efficient JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM. It has no virtual DOM, no frameworks on top of frameworks, and no framework at runtime. Svelte is also truly reactive, easy to learn and use, and supports component-based development.

What's interesting to me is that there are a handful of languages that include gui frameworks: tcl with tk, erlang binds wxwidgets, and racket has its own thing built on gtk.

It's curious what these languages have in common too: as languages almost nothing. But they're all venerable, proven & respected in their domains if not beloved, and relatively unpopular.

I don't know how to interpret that. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Or stdlib gui frameworks are just out of style and it's survivorship from the old ones. But then python is from around the same time, why doesn't it?
For a recent project (http://keymux.com/) I chose Yue (https://libyue.com/), a cross-platform native widget GUI toolkit for C++, JavaScript/Node.js, and Lua. I've only used the Lua interface and macOS backend, but it has worked quite well, despite the very steep learning curve. This was also my first desktop GUI app, so I had to learn many implicit concepts that weren't obvious from the otherwise extensive documentation.

Yue was the only option that 1) supported macOS, 2) supported Lua, 3) was sufficiently comprehensive to build a non-toy GUI app, 4) and that I could integrate into my (static) build. I couldn't even get the wxWidgets Lua interfaces to compile, and Qt and FLTK wrappers had similar stories, whereas reverse-engineering the baroque Yue build (based on Google's internal build systems) was relatively simple. The first candidate I tried was libui, but it had some crashing bugs that didn't inspire confidence, the widget set was bare, and most importantly development had ceased. Yue had some sharp edges, but I was able to work around them whilst patiently waiting for patches and fixes upstream.

Immediate mode interfaces were a non-starter for me. For a non-trivial set of otherwise typical controls and window management you have to implement too much yourself, plus being non-native they not only felt wrong (which admittedly is somewhat subjective; the younger crowd seems to think non-native, immediate mode interfaces look more state-of-the-art), but lacked other interfaces for proper desktop integration, like theme change signaling (i.e. notification that a user switch between light and dark modes in the macOS system settings panel).

All in all I would highly recommend Yue.
I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I love your comment and didn't downvote :-)
