Oof, when you try to be self-deprecating and acknowledge your privilege and it's still racist.

You either believe there's white male privilege, and the author is correct, or you don't, and he... has a different opinion than you?

I'm not going to go more into it because I dislike framing this clear class problem as a race problem, but I wanted to point out the erroneous reasoning.
The english language is full of ambiguity if you choose to be pedantic, yet somehow most people manage to communicate.

The fact that you knew I was referring to rust's license means my English was in fact not undefined, but exactly as clearly defined as one can hope english to be, i.e. we both thought it meant the same thing.

In my opinion, in context, "free software license" is also a clear and common phrase, not undefined behavior.

Essentially, I think everyone has agreed that "free software", unless you add more qualifiers, will refer to the FSF definition of free software https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

The FSFs definition includes both the licenses rust is licensed under: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Expat

The FSF would happily call BSD, MIT, and Apache "Free Software Licenses", and in fact do so.
Show HN: Tinboard; a terminal-based client for the Pinboard bookmarking service
I've just made the first "proper" release of a tool I've been wanting to work on for a while now. As a long-time user of Pinboard I've been wanting to build a terminal-based client for the service, one that works "just so" and which I can hack on. I hope it might be useful to other Pinboard users too.

See https://blog.davep.org/2023/12/19/tinboard.html for some more background and detail on the project.
Sorry, but this is FUD. Qt is miles ahead of Electron in terms of performance, app startup, native platform support, and low memory consumption, to name a few.

Additionally, its documentation is one of the best in the market.
So like nearly every JavaScript framework that comes along?
Zero interest rates after the 2008 crisis would be my bet, the post-Covid infalation was driven by a significant degree by energy prices and corporate profits. And free money, that only changes as a reaction to said inflation. Just we managed to avoid a 2008-like economic melt down post Covid still puzzles me.
No. I'm not going to break my own user pattern (I use stars as bookmarks, that's it. and I unstar pretty aggressively once I've done my business) to satisfy someone's ego. I'd much rather give a donation or bounty than go through that emotional manipulation. At least giving money is a business-neutral way to show demand for a feature (for a product I may or may not like).

Also, as a rebellious streak I am much less likely to star something that already has (proportionately) a bunch of stars.
You are assuming such drive-by issues are actually valuable; to me it is not 100% self-evident, especially when most projects do not have shortage of issues anyways.
QML is not trying to beat the browser at its own game. It is not made to display, you know, websites (and web apps), with a stack that was originally created for documents, and that still shows. QML is not JavaScript, it's a neat UI description language that uses JS for dynamic aspects.

It's not less featured, it's differently featured: it has features that have been directly designed to create user interfaces. Unlike HTML and CSS!

The documentation is very good, actually. Of course, if you are already familiar with the web stack, it may seem obscure to you.
Qt/qml is not an ideal, of course. There are many controversial things. But it outperform all of the alternatives in terms of portability, built-in features and performance in complex.
Yep, and that’s easier than ever now with neon, fly.io and similar.

A suspect there's also an aspect than longer journeys are safer to take into account. Merging onto a high speed road is a time where accidents are more likely, but you might only do it once between cities. Cruising at high speed on a good road0 is relatively safe.

Drive in a city and you may be merging 5-6 times as you move from road to road.

I'm just saying that assuming a linear relationship to distance is probably incorrect as well.

Good point. Anytime you take a step back and reflect on things at a meta-level you are on the path to Wisdom. Procrastination is not bad at this level but merely a technique.

As I've been involved in 3 successive acquisitions of the company I work for, I can tell you that no integration happens at all until the deal is signed. Some plans may have been draws at the top executive level, but that stops here. Everything is done under the legal department supervision and "mitigate risks" is the primary concern. The time before signing the deal is spent mostly dealing with writing the contract between the 2 parties, not integrating.

In many cases you can just say that you need a human (perhaps a few times; the chat equivalent of mashing 0 button to skip past the IVR). I usually state my request and if I see that bot doesn't do anything helpful on the first try I do this. Sometimes it doesn't work though, and that's what really drives me mad.
Don't play against bots then. There's plenty of people online to play against at any moment of the day.

Maybe I read the wrong forums but this particular hangup ("machines can do it better so what is even the point?") seems to be quite unique to chess as a hobby. I've never seen someone on an athletics tournament complaining that the sport is no longer fun because a cannon could throw the spear much farther than even the best athletes, or that they no longer enjoy going to the gym because a construction crane can lift much more than they will ever be able to. Chess is at its core a game of rigidly applying rules, pattern matching, and applying a depth-first search on as deep a search tree as you can manage. It should hardly be a surprise that computers can do that extremely well.
Fun to see GM Axel Smith mentioned, I used to be his student as a teenager, when he was still an IM. Great teacher and just a wonderful person overall. I can vouch for his methods, even if I was a teenager when I practiced them.

This is a great article on how to improve chess as a beginner, from the perspective of a former beginner. Basic recognition of patterns is the bedrock of tactical calculation. And focusing on problems that can be solved quickly is a good strategy for building it.

I do want to champion the cause of harder problems though, because there is more to calculation than pattern recognition. And this will become more and more important above the very impressive 1500 the author managed to reach.

Calculation is a conscious mental process that needs training in its own right. It involves the ability to visualise board states, remember where you are in the game tree, enumerate candidate/forcing moves and threats, heuristics like the method of elimination. None of these can be trained purely through these simpler problems, only through slowly taking your time applying all these techniques. This is why blitz rarely leads to an improvement in your base ability. The only way to build out your ability beyond what you can immediately recognise is to really struggle with positions you can't solve in 8 seconds, or even 8 minutes. This happens naturally if you play longer time controls(and actually spend your time). It's also tremendously helpful to join your local chess club and work through some problems with a stronger player to guide you. That's also a lot more fun to most people.

Learning chess doesn't have to be just a lot of rote exercise. You can also read books on positional chess, pawn structures, endgames, and openings. No, they don't decide games as much as tactical mistakes but they certainly influence games profoundly whether the players are aware of them or not. And a more "holistic" approach can be more motivating.
That's bollocks. I've got a 4GB server which runs 5 production services, and (maximally) 20 test services, and only one of those ever goes over 40MB, and then drops below that again. The production services handle about 65k requests per day. Not much, but it shows that you can easily run go applications in less than 2GB.
Well they might have seen the patents and just had meetings because of that.

This doesn’t seem to be particularly relevant. Apple was trying to entire a new field so they hired people who already work in it
Okay.

Yeah that was wrong.

They ought to have rather invested in the Tesla stock than order anything. Financial markets are more lenient towards half truths and essentially lying, than consumers are.
Maybe the intention is that people who are not interested in the project shouldn't be filing issues for it.
Anecdotally, but at least three studio's and designers I work with switched to Figma because "it became Adobe". They made the switch because Adobe gave it some sort of "stamp of approval".
From two, I'm certain they'll never go back to XD and/or illustrator. One, I'm not too sure because all their onboarding, libraries and education is around "adobe products".

So, at least from N=3, I dare say that the attempted merger only made the existential problem for Adobe worse.
Beware that a related project, iventoy, is crippled commercial pseudo-FOSS.
Yeah, that's why I hate this model to begin with (and basically never leave reviews for software). If you have to ask/bribe me for a review, you ruined the point of what a review it. It is to let other prospector buyers know my genuine experience with the product or seller.

I don't mind being prompted for a review after the fact (because sure, I will forget otherwise), but it should be a prompt, not a beg.
Refurbished Apple products are generally in almost indistinguishable condition from new, and are thus likely in better condition than a device you bring for repair months or years into using it. Using refurbished devices to replace used devices is a surefire way to "reduce, reuse, recycle" (especially considering that refurbishing also re-uses any returns Apple receives).

I don’t know where you got the impression that the Go compiler would run on “the production machine”.

As I understand it, when people talk about the government "printing money" they don't mean literally producing more coins and notes (M0) but rather something metaphorically equivalent.

For every $1 in notes and coins, there are about $30 in bank deposits that exist as a number on a spreadsheet somewhere. So instead of actually printing more, when the central bank "prints money" it means they edit the number in their spreadsheet, increasing their own bank balance. Then they spend that balance buying things like government bonds and treasury bills (which also exist only on spreadsheets)
Civ evo [0] applies the same rules to AI and human players. It is supposed to have a very strong AI. Also, AI does not have a personality (friendly, aggressive, etc.); it just wants to win. Unfortunately, I could never bring myself to learn this new variant.

> There's a loose correlation of stars with quality/popularity/ activity

Well if you're policy is to keep track of issues based on who stars the project, having a lot of stars means poor quality then.

I kind of understand their twisted logic but at the end of the day it just doesn't feel right.

There are plenty of projects who do not need this kind of policy to have a lot of stars.
And we should take "first principle thinking" instead?
The problem with video game bots in games like Civ is that "playing well" is not actually the core goal of the devs. Rather, it has to be enjoyable to play against and easy enough to build and debug in the limited time available until release. Given those constraints, most game devs just give the bot free resources and call it a day.

If somebody would bother to put in the time to make it, a well-crafted Civ bot could probably roflstomp every human out there just by virtue of perfectly micromanaging its production in every city on every turn without effort.

Except not true. Every trading card game where the cards are just game pieces and there's no secondary market around the game has died hard. The mystique and value in the cards is necessary to keep the game alive.

I say this to you as somebody with hundreds of thousands of dollars in MtG cards in his collection and I still consider myself a player first.

Comics are a complicated mess but in the 90s it was largely gimmick variants that nobody wanted -- the industry has done better in recent years with variant covers by desirable artists but in general nobody is reading comics anymore and the trade paperbacks are doing even worse. Marvel and DC just aren't connecting with their customers anymore and imported & translated manga is eating their lunch.
The concept of privilege is that you have time/energy/resources to do things like play chess instead of looking for work. I'm not sure if you're questioning the concept of privilege (which is fine) or saying that it specifically doesn't have anything to do with chess.

For doing serious UX work, having direct manipulation of the GUI is paramount. Modeling human cognition without actually seeing the design while designing is makes hard to actually do the core of the work. Qt creator/designer for Qt desktop/widgets shines here.

Designing UIs in text is where most frameworks fail. It seems really bizarre that more techie devs still seem to believe they can design good UI blindfolded.

Imho, C++ not is a language using which user facing software should be built anymore, but Qt at least makes the compromise bearable, making memory management less of a burden.
Imagine if I could demand that only people who have upvoted my comment could reply to it? I would get much less disagreeable replies.
Can't hide the stars from Github itself though. Keeping as much preference data away from social networks as possible is not an unreasonable stance, IMHO.
> There's many cases where that's not true and indeed low-quality bug reports hurt the projects from getting better, specially for mid-to-high popular solo projects.

So it's ok to report low quality bugs as long as you give stars?

I know that's not your argument, but this is what this thread is about.
> if you don't think it's worth starring why even use it let along issues and pr's.

- it's a dependency downstream and it's breaking my actual project.

- I'm in evaluation/research phase for multiple repos and am not committed to that specific tool. Actions like this actively make me NOT want to star such behavior, nor even use the tool if I can help it

- because I don't fundamentally use stars as a popularity stick and don't care. I'd rather you prompt me to post a bounty or donation instead. Yes, that's how much I hate that system; I will pay money to not be involved in it.

>Can't projects say they'll only support people who really like the project or are people thinking OSS comes with entitlements for unpaying users.

if you ignore the meta-gaming reasons this tactic exists, sure. I'd rather just pay the project directly instead be a part of a statitic that says "we got X stars on our repo please fund us" VC pitches.
> inventors temporary monopolies on truly new things.

Sure. But this doesn’t seem to be particularly relevant in this case? It’s not really a truly new thing and hardly an invention at all
I think I get what you mean. In my experience, declarative frameworks are great for simple UIs but don’t scale all that well with UI complexity. Eventually you find yourself doing somersaults and handstands to achieve what you need with them and find yourself wanting to fall back to a boring old imperative framework.

Granted, my experience is with SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose, not QML but it doesn’t seem like developing complex (especially full fat desktop-style) apps with declarative frameworks is as nice as it could be.
You're being surprisingly overly specific with those tree links.

I'm firmware locked out of an OS-update bricked Macbook 2019. I wouldn't care if the OS booted, I don't need the firmware password to use it, only to wipe it. I don't really want to wipe it, I want it to boot.

I bought it with cash in Grand Central. I have my welcome to your New Mac email from the week they launched and it's in Find My still today. But I didn't keep the cash receipt and I password protected the firmware before an International trip, and don't remember that.

Apple will not unlock it, though it's in Find My, and has only been mine for its entire history. (They also won't unlock it, fix the bricked OS update, and lock it again, which would be fair enough. But as I see it, they broke my machine, and they prevent me from unbreaking it.)

So FindMy won't save you from yourself. :-/
"Cheated" Contactless Passengers Fined [at London Stansted Express] [video]
It has become part of everyday life in the capital to use your card or phone to tap in to travel on the transport network.
But ITV News has uncovered an operation that penalises people who do just that to travel to London Stansted Airport.
Despite having contactless payment systems activated on the gates of the Stansted Express, thousands who don't have a physical ticket are being given large fines of up to a hundred pounds.
The travel watchdog has questioned how Stansted can be the only airport in our region that doesn't allow ticketless travel.
Passengers who didn't spot warning signs before their trip have described it as a money-making scheme.
I've generally found no/minimal change between assembly and intrinsics. Once I start using them I tend to look at the generated assembly to see what's actually being generated and to make sure the compiler isn't doing something surprising.
I think the most important thing about learning chess is to not play blitz or bullet games until you are already at a high-enough level (1500+).

Learning comes with analysis and deduction, both of which are pretty much impossible in a sub 10 minutes game for a beginner.
