Obnoxious comment considering your link shows the opposite of what you're claiming.
Got an impression that even if the mobile side is improved, Microsoft does not really care about the desktop support in MAUI.
The global extinction event is here, yes, but it can always be worse. The slower climate change is, the more easily we can adapt to it. Maybe we will reach tipping points later like the release of frozen methane. This gives valuable time to relocate populations and deploy countermeasures.
Still posting losses.

It's not generally considered a wise business move to wait until your corpse is already being feasted upon before changing direction.

Long term they absolutely would have been killed - computing is being consolidated onto one of 4 platforms, all of which would squeeze out elastic using their market dominance as leverage.
QTextDocument is a class in Qt::Gui that many of the other text classes/components use. I was thinking you may have implemented your own text handling widget/item, but using delegates of text areas makes sense too.

I will try reuseItems again. It's something I tried before briefly but thought it may have been causing some rendering glitches and removed it. Maybe because I didn't implement onResused or onPooled properly. Thanks!
As long as I can fill in forms and add a signature I'm sold. I loved being able to do this on MacOS but now that I'm on Linux I still haven't found any app that can do this.

Another sequence that's about as simple to define as Goodstein's is the following:
Start with any binary tree, which is either 0, or a pair [s,t] of binary trees.
Then while it's not 0, repeatedly apply the following predecessor operation P on binary trees:

P([0,t]) = t
P([s,t]) = [P(s),t] but with all instances of t replaced by [P(s),t]

For example, starting from [[0,0],0], we have the sequence of predecessor trees

[[0,0],0]
[[0,0],[0,0]]
[0,[0,[0,0]]]
[0,[0,0]]
[0,0]
0

This sequence grows unbelievably faster than Goodstein's, and even faster than the infamous TREE() function [1], while having an almost trivial definition. The number of predecessors to reach 0 is sequence A367433 in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences [2].

It’s revealing that Chesky just needed to know Altman hadn’t done anything illegal, and that was enough to start his campaign to defend him. “Not illegal” is a low bar. Those 20 instances of lying/being deceitful could have been consequential. It’s also amazing how much much support from investors can insulate an unscrupulous CEO.

I think most nintendo users are kids and most of the games are given as gift and purchased in cartridges anyway. And people want to be able to buy and sell their games second hand. The nintendo network really is about online gaming in the context of the nintendo DS products.
Sure, these conflicts are caused by people, but 'there' s just too many of us' isn't a suppressed thought, just a bad one that we have since moved on from. Overpopulation was a trendy idea in the 70s that inspired many ugly policies, like sterilisation of ethnic minorities.

Yes, quite likely. This is not really a matter of FOSS or not, but it is something that Prusa absolutely needed to have foreseen and made a viable business plan to address. Chinese manufacturing was always a huge vulnerability in their business model and they definitely should have planned for that.

That could have taken many forms. They might have invested in a much stronger brand, aiming to make Prusa (needs a better name tbh) synonymous with 3D printing, and developing a product line which covers a wider range of needs, from entry-level highly-usable stuff up to hackable mid-tier things and possibly high-end workshop printers as well, all of which should have had a shared brand identity. China can't really compete on reputation, so that's where to focus. Moreover, they could have invested more in services surrounding the product, such as the aforementioned cloud printing services, perhaps a thingiverse-equivalent with a models marketplace and a small margin off of that, etc. Auto-detect when your filament is running low and have a subscription service to ship you a new one -- maybe the cloud printer notices when you don't have enough in stock for a model you want and suggests you order more.

Just making a new model every 2 or 3 years and hoping China wouldn't notice was a very stupid strategy, and the free or non-free nature of their firmware has nothing to do with that.

This is such a common failure mode in open source companies -- they think that the code is 90% of the battle for the market. It's not, it's more like 5% at best and because it's open source the rest of the market can make use of it. This can be very powerful if you're smart about it, but "write the code and the rest will work out" is not that.
I grew up using a nipple mouse on some of my first laptops. Loved them. But after using the MacBook trackpads, it's hard to go back to anything else.

On the Linux part: Does using the Thinkpad trackpad on Linux work well? How well does it handle sleep/wake from sleep? How seamless is monitor support?

I guess what I'm saying is that, while I would like to run Linux full-time, I like having a Linux-like/Unix environment, but where everything Just Works without fiddling.

This looks great!

But with all these mentions of democratizing and opposing centralization, the licensing model seems unclear to me. The Croquet Microverse is Apache-licensed but "built on top of Croquet OS" which seems to be proprietary with paid and centralized server. Does anyone understand whether at least the client side component of the Croquet OS, which interfaces with the Microverse, is open source so that alternative server implementation could be developed without legally dubious reverse engineering of the protocol?
not really. in your analogy Elizabeth Holmes already the culprit.

No. Changes in technology.

The code of a Symbolics Lisp Machine is written in so-called "systems". A "system" is a collection of files in a directory. Moving the code to another machine is either a) a copy of the directories to another directory or b) dumping an archive to copy to somewhere else or c) most of the time not necessary, since the Lisp Machine edits files on NFS file servers , which makes it possible to share the Lisp code directly with other Lisp systems in the network.

The Symbolics keeps track of versions of files and systems, something other Lisp systems typically don't do themselves.

> As such, the Linux "stability" combined with x86 won, same as C and friends because of the tooling that made the code "portable".

There is little stability. The main theme is ever evolving fragmentation. Linux / BSDs is fragmented in zillions distributions, variants, versions, competing library variants, software archive systems, ... and open source UNIX is fragmented into various BSDs, Linux variants, ... Look at some portable code, it uses a huge configuration checker, which looks for all the variations of code and libraries. Zillions of checks...

I wonder how do you chop a finger with a stone "blade" without butchering the whole hand.

And what about infections afterwards? I know ancient humans were quite hardier than us but I don't see how doing finger amputation with crude tools and no cleaning would not lead to systematic wound infection.

Nobody wants to assume fraud in science, unless you have unassailable evidence that someone has committed fraud you really cannot risk your own reputation by dishing out allegations. The solution to this is trust but verify, but verifying data would require twice the amount of work, which not every lab has the funding to do, even if it was breakthrough research.

The sad truth about a lot of science is that science is built on trust. The psychology replication crisis is proof of that, there are so many ways to manipulate data to make it look like you have a result and also so much pressure to get a result that people resort to the former to get the latter.

There are plenty of historical scandals about how scientific fraud has taken way too long to investigate, people like Victor Ninov and Hwang Woo-Suk are two examples of just how far fraud can go before it's found.

The article here is comparatively tame compared to how far Huang and Ninov got.
Good job on making a project! Some screenshots would go a long way to show off what you've built.
Microsoft has great backwards compatibility, but it isn't perfect. Those games might be coded to 1990s standards, e.g. using old graphics APIs that don't support modern GPUs.
People use the word feedlot interchangeably to describe anything from an indoor shed where animals are so crammed in they're nearly immobilised, to an outdoor area with some shadecloth and troughs but no grass, to animals kept in exactly the same paddocks they're usually in but fed supplemental feed during a drought[1].

Yes, the weird American torture sheds are bad, but an outdoor feedlot with shade and space is really not that bad for the animals. It's a complicated tradeoff between different factors: cattle are much more protected from predators (dogs, usually) and random stressors, they have ample food and water at all times, they're better able to be monitored for disease and injury; however, they've got less space, it can be hot and dusty, and there's more random stuff going on around them[0]. People have this idea in their heads that a feedlot looks like a sow stall or a chicken cage when in actual fact it's a crowded paddock with all the grass trampled[1]. Not exactly nice, but not some insane torture device either.

Sweet! I tried playing around with implementing a copy-and-patch style JIT in Rust before, but unfortunately between the lack of `ghccc`-style register-heavy calling convention and (still!) having no way to guarantee tailcalls, rustc doesn't make it very easy and I gave up.
No, not this, to my mind.

When the world was much smaller, the same problems persisted. The Great Famine of 1845 in Ireland happened not just because crops failed in Ireland. England had enough crops, and the world was ready to sell more, but the British government kept Irish ports closed for imports of foods, and English Protestant farmers were not very keen to sell to Irish Catholics (fun: both considered themselves Christians). Estimated world population at the time was about 1 billion.

Man-made famines are a really common thing all along the human history; just consider the medieval sieges of cities, and routine deliberate destruction of enemy crops. This was happening when the world had merely 300-400M people.

It's not too many people. It's too little wisdom, and too much cruelty, per person.
With all respect saving an odd one out from boredom of solitude has to give way to saving the vast majority from being stuck to their phones all the time.
software has zero marginal cost, so therefore, if a piece of software can be used by the majority of humans, it makes sense that it ends up costing very little per instance of it.

It's not a tragedy. It's actually a good outcome imho.
>They offer a user friendly experience at a very attractive price point

That's what most users care about. That it just works and it does that at an attractive price point.

Well ok. The topic of generics were strangely absent from the channel discussion. That is an alternative solution to the type issue. Adding those is like killing a mosquito with a bazooka, but there are languages (like crystal) that has generics and therefore use them for this.

As for the proposal itself, it seems to lack the recognition that channels + ability to spawn fibers/threads has not shown themselves to be sufficient in practice. Most of the time people don't want unbounded and unknown lifetimes on the executors, but instead want to be able to see that directly in the code. In go, that resulted in wait groups, and in other languages (java, swift, kotlin etc) a thing called structured concurrency is talked about, see https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-g... for the article that started that.

You appear to be shifting the goalposts, and not just because this comment of yours right here looks like it's mixing up formerly and formally.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of a metaphor? I did explicitly note that food was a metaphor. After all, your original comment said:

> if it is impossible to live without it.

Which is a much higher standard than you're now using, one where food is a useful metaphor as one does actually need it to live, albeit as a category and not any specific food — I like capsaicin, alliums, and fresh coriander, and yet I can live without them (e.g. if I had a partner who was allergic).

And are you unaware of the history (and indeed current diversity) of rules about sexuality, including the cases where couples aren't/weren't allowed to separate and gay relationships are/were forbidden? You can know full well what you like, and still be bound unfulfilled but alive. Thus, that question of fulfilment is still present when your relationship is not merely "secure", but the security is enforced by law.

> decide if you want to make a company, or if you want to make Open Source.

these companies decided that they can leverage the marketing that is "open source" in order to gain mind share and traction, after which they start looking to charge.

That is what i associate with any open source company.
Here's some advice - don't give unsolicited advice.
> On the other hand, a lot of people who claim animals have thoughts and emotions seem to think that cows have complicated human-level thoughts like "I am an oppressed cog; my owner will send me to the glue factory when I am too old to give milk, and yet I must queue up regardless, for my spirit is broken; my calf has been taken and I will never know if he got a college degree; life is pure suffering." This seems unlikely to be true.

Honestly and I’m sure I’ll get some flack for this.

I’m not so sure we need to be that alarmed. First of all, I’m all about renewable energy I don’t like burning fossil fuels. I think planes and gas cars and cargo ships are awful emitters of nasty gases.

However, we can’t even accurately model the global weather system. We keep changing the scientific definitions every decade. Off topic but first the universe was 13b years now it’s way more. Or this kind of fat is bad but flip flop some time later that it is good. The ozone hole was huge, then it turns out it’s patched. Sometimes arctic ice is melting so fast we will all be underwater in 2040. Other times it is somehow way more than expected.

I’m in California and the wildfires probably release a shit ton of bad juju into the air. Some volcano erupts and just spews black smoke into the air.

Our planet has literally been killed by asteroids. And life bounced back. There were no humans then sure, but what I’m trying to say is that nothing is really that certain. I’m a software engineer I literally hack systems to make them work together. We have insane test coverage and shit still goes wack sometimes. It gets patched and we move on, and our tech is definitely far better and powerful than a month, a year, or a decade ago.

Humans will figure it out. We aren’t going to die out. We shouldn’t kill progress because of doomerism fueled by paranoia.

Evidently.

“how did X become so popular” does not mean that X is popular. “X is popular” is a statement about the absolute popularity of X. “How did X become so popular” is a question about the change of popularity of X. It might or might not imply that X is popular in absolute terms.

Let’s take the relatively niche sport of running-facefirst-into-a-rock. Last year there was only one athlete practicing it, this year there are 200. It is still a rounding error in popularity, yet you can ask “how did it become so popular?” When you ask that you don’t make a statement about the absolute popularity, but the change of it.
