As someone who has looked into using Gtk+, Qt, Wxwidgets, Dear Imgui, Nuklear, Druid and Lazarus, I see the appeal of Electron.

At some point a native gui toolkit feels just as, if not more, limited than a web UI in Electron only with scarcer documentation and guides/tutorials to help you.

Has anyone else ever noticed how many businesses in Alabama are overtly focused on the state, it's name and subculture?

I mean, why not "National Car and Truck Trader" instead of "Alabama Car and Truck Trader"? Why limit yourself to only one state? Do they really want to make *less* money?

It's a big country. Maybe they should come out of Alabama and see it some time. I know quite a few who have and never gone back. Roll tide!

People should try QML (with C++), it's great. The author mentioned Craft (an only Mac-native Notion-like app). I'm now working on turning my note-taking app editor into a Notion alternative -> an advanced block editor based on just plaintext. Built using Qt C++ & QML.[1] That way I achieve native-like performance and resource use while being cross-platform.

Or phrased another way, by listening to whoever spoke better? A key remainer argument was of the form, "we have to remain in the EU to be a part of pooled research (and other such schemes)" and the counter-argument was "no, collaboration makes sense regardless and better deals can eventually be reached".

So the Leavers were right about that in the end. Horizon isn't important compared to constitutional issues, but this is one more argument that just didn't turn out right.
Sure it is - the vast majority of webapps are glorified CRUD. I'm not saying there are not high performance use cases. I'm saying if you list every app, most of them would be fine with exclusively JavaScript, and for the rest you have careful use of WASM or backend delegation to a faster language.

And to the author's point, something slow in JavaScript is better than nothing at all.
So what’s up with everyone saying that is being sent to China? Is it just FUD?
The biggest attraction of SF and LA is the weather.
I mean I can't disagree with the title, but it's a bit of a straw man as nobody says they won't make an app if they can't make it a webapp.

Electron based apps are a compromise, and the tradeoffs are well known. They'll be slower - but they will fast enough for most applications, if you look at apps like Slack, Spotify, VS Code. They won't look like native apps, but they allow for a full cross-platform app with your branding (again, see Spotify that has a consistent interface on web, desktop and mobile).

And of course, it's easier to find a web developer than a QT developer.

That's sort of my point. I don't want it to come to that but a huge of part of why it's come to that were tactical mistakes (esp. in communication) on the part of the FSF.
Yes, but any UI stuff in C++ is also going to be a major source of slowdowns.

And C++ compiled to WASM will have the same slowdowns if it needs to touch the DOM.

Not sure if that applies here that much.

For random peasants the Roman army was as much (if not less) theirs as the those of the barbarians that settled in their lands.

Also the barbarians were often somewhat less exploitative and most of the tax money stayed in the local area instead off being shipped of to Rome/Constantinople

>But, by definition, the land value is still the same as it was before there was anything there.

No, it's massively higher. Just go look at the value of an empty lot in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska vs the value of a lot in Manhattan. Land in Manhattan is more valuable because more people want land in Manhattan. This is only incidentally related to the cost to build all the physical infrastructure, which is the only part that land value tax ignores.

Yes, and maybe after that we can create a new supranational government that has fundamental authority over our own government, is free to write laws for us, can overrule our courts, removes all sovereignty over immigration, has a parliament with many degrees of democratic separation from the electorate, has an unelected commission that makes all the laws, has ever-expanding centralisation of power written into its constitution, forces us to accept fleets of bottom-trawling fishing boats to decimate our waters, forces us to spend huge amounts of money to literally incentivise farmers to destroy natural habitat-

I've worked on platform-independent code.

Even if a bug is platform-independent, the report may well be platform-specific and difficult to reproduce. The real nature of the bug only becomes clear after analysis, and getting the right platform for the analysis may be so much work that the whole thing is impractical.

"May be" doesn't mean "very rarely" either. It's sad, really. You may sit in front of your keyboard with an intuition that this bug affects lots of people and know that you can't really work on it, so how to you respond? Sad.
The “Schrems II verdict” does not say that US's data protections are “absolutely inadequate”, whatever that means. What it says is that US's protections are not equivalent, but guess what that says about China.

In any comparison of this sort, an often forgotten fact is that the US and EEA/EU countries are long-time allies, having a long tradition of mutual help and cooperation. Whereas China is led by genocidal, totalitarian, communist rulers.

Look, as an EU citizen, I was disappointed by Snowden's revelations, too. But there is no equivalence.

"The average taxi driver salary in Singapore is S$24,900 per year or S$10.88" according to random googling. Having been there one of the big problems with normal taxis is that there aren't a huge number so if it starts raining only about 10% of people wanting one get one. Not sure if robos would help there.
You're effectively describing the "Parable of the broken window". Solar panels and the systems to run them now represent a significant outlay by businesses and some private individuals. Other countries don't have these expenses so the net effect is that South Africa becomes relatively less competitive and less attractive for investment.

I like it. Would be nice to have a little text to the effect that “you are looking at the 3rd floor” and unambiguous indication of “here is how you back out to see the whole stack”. I didn’t have a hard time figuring this out in the end but it did involve taking a leap of faith here or there.

I wish it could support RA2 the same way. Don't get me wrong, RA1 was _fun_, but RA2 units are so much more. And there's a real difference between soviets and allies army. RA1 they were too much alike.
Precisely. It's hard to argue that these "dystopian corporate" entities haven't added any value to the society. You can make a solid case that the intangible costs are too high but starting off with accusing them of "slave labor" and "locked-in cash cows" is a non starter and it's been the kind of rhetoric that the FSF has always used.

I don't (and never wanted) the FSF to dilute its message but I do think they'd benefit from someone who can communicate their ideas in a more palatable way. Perhaps it's too late anyway.
> it is super duper easy to register a car online.

If you are in possession of the title of the car, yes.

However if you lease a car, the leasing company will just post the lease to the Zulassungsstelle so that you will not be in possession of the title at any time. So it will require you to go there in person.
Now, obviously not every small business out there are necessarily fitting such a description. Just like not every FLOW author live and breath by the stance that every single bit out there should contribute to people freedom and empowerment.

If anything, when an audience is unease with what is obvious caricatures which overstate the usual median traits, there is all the more concerns about the situation.
"To clarify - I think 'able to read and understand most things' qualifies? So - if they needed to read instructions to get to another level in a video game, or read a menu in a cafe, etc? Obviously we are all learning new words all the time. And not every kid wants to read a novel."

Every kid should be able to read a novel, this is a sad commentary on why parents are often poor teachers.
Even if you code against MonoGame/XNA or a similar framework, migrating to another framework is not a trivial task unless you have written an abstraction layer beforehand, cf. Player.cs from Celeste.

Show HN: Cheq UPI – India's first UPI payments app for foreigners
Hello HN,

My name is Sudhanshu and I'm the Co-founder/CEO of Cheq UPI (https://www.chequpi.com). We are the first UPI wallet for foreigners and non-resident Indians travelling to India.
Using Cheq, you can purchase almost any goods/services across India .

Just scan the merchant QR code / choose the pay by UPI id option to make the purchase. You don’t need an Indian bank account to operate Cheq UPI. Our prepaid wallet can be topped up with any international debit/credit card.

10mn+ foreigners visiting India each year, invariably face one of the below problems

1) Indian merchant not accepting international credit/debit cards

2) Unavailability of ATMs/money changers at remote locations

3) Indian merchants not tendering exact loose change

The Cheq UPI app was launched to help all these individuals travel cashfree across the country.

If know someone planning to visit India this year, please ask them to try us out!

A lot of time, hard work and luck has gone into building Cheq and we hope it’ll make travelling to India more convenient for citizens across the globe.

Some quick pointers to know about the Cheq UPI app:

- The Cheq UPI app works ONLY in India and we must verify your passport in-person before activating the UPI wallet.

- Once activated, you’ll be able to scan & pay with UPI anywhere across India.

- Funds can be added to the Cheq wallet using any international debit/credit card, you don’t need an Indian bank account / aadhaar card.

- Apart from the 10$ account opening fees, there are no other costs for using the product. Funds added can be spent anywhere across India.

I’ll be available to answer any questions you may have throughout the day about Cheq, UPI or Indian fintech in general.

Look forward to seeing you all try Cheq UPI

PS: We're continuously improving our services, so critical and constructive feedback is most welcome.

IIRC, there used to be a dd-like tool, maybe cdrescue? (a Linux command-line tool), that would recheck the data extracted, and then do a "best of n" check on any spurious sectors of the disc.

It's been at least 10 years since I had a CD/DVD drive though, so it might have been a mode of one of the dd_rescue/ddrescue/dd-rescue programs??

Ah OK that makes sense, we have a similar requirement in the UK.

A difference would be if you don't have your licence, insurance, etc. on you at the time you were stopped you can be issued with a "producer" document which requires you to produce your documents at a local police station within seven days.
IIRC FastGPT uses web-search to answer questions.

Their API (for third-party devs) used to have an option for FastGPT to either allow or disallow web-search but they removed the option that disallowed it. So the API always uses web-search.

This doesn't mean that the FastGPT web client behaves the same, but I would suspect it.
They probably won't share how they did it, but there's been a lot of research over the past 6 months showing how you don't have to retrain the entire model to add in new sources. I know nothing about this stuff, but my limited understanding from blog posts is it's easier than anyone had thought to add in new data to a pre-existing model.
My buddy at Volkswagen and deutsche bank would like to have a word
In case anyone cares, this commenter is absolutely incorrect; Unreal does support mobile development, and it obviously uses a more lithe package than its full GPU stack. Using only the UI objects, 2D is pretty simple and I haven't had any major package size issues. Using a 3D context to render 2D as planes in the scene, I can still get a package down around 70MB with optimizations left on the table. It's harder to work with 3D-as-2D, but that's why I use the UI system. It's robust.

I certainly like Unreal, myself, but I can't say it's an easy move from Unity to Unreal. That aside, one of the very first options you see is whether to scope your game for mobile or for "desktop", so I'm not sure why this commenter thinks that Unreal would not be an option for mobile development. It sucked before UE5, so maybe that's the hang up, but so did a lot of things.

The source code for GitLab is located in a single repository. The change was proposed and introduced in 2019 for efficiency reasons [2] [3] [4]

You can learn more about the stewardship of GitLab, and the promises in [5] - point 11) links to the enterprise code location, and the free open source location.

This workflow also ensures that everyone can contribute to GitLab [6] - free users, and customers [7], using the same code base.

There are some automated AA guns (Oerlikon or Rheinmetall IIRC) who lock with combination of radar and visual, or just one of those. No locking missiles, just good old ammunition and 21st century computing power. Well not precisely, every round is primed to detonate at exact altitude/flight duration.

Put a hundred rounds in few seconds (so 5-10k projectiles) on the sky where the plane will be in 3 seconds, they will create basically impenetrable cloud and yes you can quite easily shoot down F35 flying during day flying low enough just by visual lock.

Taking a word and trying to make it mean something else, such as "sugar is an inedible product", never sits really well with the recipients of the message—in particular when it is then circularly then used "well you can't eat sugar, it's inedible", which no doubt is the point here.

Meanings of words should be used to increase understanding between parties, not decrease understanding between them or push agendas, however well-meaning those agendas might be.
The non-managed zone is rewilded, so it will be left to regenerate on its own I guess.
Having to pretend GB and NI are different countries seems like the inevitable outcome of the Good Friday Agreement (or at least one interpretation of it) that requires you to pretend that parts of two different countries (NI and IE) are the same country. That was obviously not going to last indefinitely as long as the two places are ruled by different sovereign states (in this case, the UK and EU).
good, but the damage has already been done. We've missed out on work, had lead scientists leave the country and had to take a back seat on European research just to be involved. Whole thing is a sh*t show.

The Javascript JIT arms race was the most heavily funded dynamic language arms race since forever - involving three major players (Apple, Google, Mozilla), dedicated teams, tons of benchmarks, constant tracking of performance improvements, total rewrites of the engines and additional JIT stages added, and public boasts in the official company blogs and marketing material!
It must feel great to devote yourself to a passion project and it turns out to actually work and people use it.

I assume this is a passion project because I can't imagine getting funds for a project like this, specially when it might conflict with upstream licenses.
