What are the issues the author alludes to about AppX packages sucking? Looks like the new Fluent stuff wants you to use those. Curious to know what pain points exist there.
By 2027, phones should be using solid-state batteries that will outlive the phone.
That's terribly unsporting of you to point out ;-)
imgui offers incredible development speed. And I've used it many times with great success. It's unorthodox yes (and there's a long-open bug I won't talk about again) but it's dear to my heart. It's like MFC on steroids: You don't have to leave C++.

But yeah at least a few of those caveats remain. Although keyboard navigation and font rendering have quite a bit of support.
Because a caffeine headache is neither a migraine nor a tension headache.

And according to Wikipedia, paracetamol is mainly only useful for migraines. For tension headaches, you need the combination with caffeine and aspirin as well.

Caffeine constricts blood vessels, which is why it's useful against headaches. And why withdrawal causes headaches, because now you have more blood flowing than you've been used to.
Makes sense and it will also increase the longevity of phones. I welcome the change.

It doesn't have to be as easy as it was with e.g. the Samsung S5 or the xcovers (which, by the way are still waterproof). But as far as i understand it a simple tool like a screwdriver can be used.

It also means I won't have to mollycoddle my phone battery so much (limiting charge to 80% etc) because I can just charge it and get a fresh one after a year or 2-3.
LGPL. Which eliminates his requirement for a single executable. With LGPL you are only allowed to link dynamically.
IIRC WinG was basically a way to set up a GDI device context that corresponded to a frame buffer, so you could take your DOS SuperVGA code and run it under Windows, only redoing sound and input. It's been almost 30 years though. :)
SQS is cheap.

You will need hundreds of millions of requests per month for it to be noticable.

And can an implementation like this even help you at that point?
Like all of it. It's a feature in BIOS, and commercial BIOS is sourced from Phoenix, AMI, Insyde, etc. It's like asking which car brand use Brembo disc brakes. It's up to designers and model dependent.
Extreme Measures Needed to Scale Chips
Y'know, Nokia phones (before the whole smartphone fad) were famous for being solid. That is to say, the joke was that if you dropped your phone off a skyscraper you'd just have to pick it up and it'd just work. And as far as I recall they required precisely zero equipment in order to take the battery out.
A court has ruled that it did not:

> The painful bit is C++. I did a fair bit of that going back to MFC.

I'm sorry but referring to MFC while referring C++ is a telltale sign you don't really have any meaningful experience in the field. Developing GUI apps for Windows is a breeze with frameworks like Qt. You only suffer if you're a masochist, but the rest of us prefer to pick things that make sense.

We have a magic technology that duplicates books, but we don't yet have one that writes books. At least not ones worth reading.

Maybe LLMs will eventually make the profession of writing obsolete. We'd make books too cheap to meter.
Yes, but they had no ingress protection. The components just survived the water. Totally not applicable to modern phones.
For me too.

I used to have a sheet of stamps lying around. Often only one was used. Then those would "expire" after years, in the sense that (yearly?) tariff-increasments would invalidate the "now too cheap" ones. I then had to buy additional special ones to compensate for the price.

Digital is the way forward and this is a perfect example of simple digital to analog. It works fantastic.

The main preservation of greek texts was the byzantine empire not the Arab world. If you take a second to think about it was the Greek Roman Empire. Until it fell it was the heart of the knowledge of Rome and Greece.
Right, but now there are more efficient systems (the aforementioned Square dongle). We usually welcome technological progress that reduces costs, why opppose it in this case? The colourful pieces of paper and specially squished lumps of metal have been obsoleted. The solution isn't to force people to keep using cash, it's to make an electronic money system that has the good properties cash has (issued and backed by the government; directly tranferable between payer and payee; mostly anonymous but theoretically traceable in case of massive theft/fraud).
I have ideas about writing a GUI framework [1], but why in the world would I spend the time to make it up to the author's standards unless someone was paying me?

GUIs are a lot of work. People should be more willing to pay for work like that. Wanting everything free is one reason Big Tech has so much control.

I don't know man?

I was working for Halliburton, so I knew there were good reasons to bail Houston/New Orleans out. Just take a cursory look at any map of our energy infrastructure.

Conversely, there is little reason to bail out Kansas.

There are just some uncomfortable realities about how logistics and infrastructure work in this nation. And that means places like, LA, Norfolk, Seattle, New York, New Orleans, Houston, etc are far more important than, say, Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Not that we shouldn't try to help places like Fort Lauderdale or Miami. But for instance, not that it ever would, but if it came down to Norfolk or Miami, it's gotta be Norfolk we save. If it ever came down to Houston or Savannah, it's gotta be Houston we save. Those choices are just engineering sense.

The issue here is Kansas didn't do anything to make that area of its state indispensable to the US. Maybe wind farms or something? I don't know? But having been around the people who make those calls, I can tell you they aren't terribly sentimental by nature. If they are sentimental at all, it is by legal obligation (ie - force) or political pressure.
Since there is already a framework for returning letters with invalid/unreadable/damaged addresses, I'd guess the overhead of returning wrongly-written postzegelcodes is negligible.
Sciter desperately needs an evangelist who can reply and help people with their problems and just in general provide support and work on the ecosystem. I think from what I remember from indiehackers you are not there yet to be able to afford it but we desperately need that.

Even paying pravic to keep the libraries for different languages up to date would be of great help.
Agreed. I had the exact same question.

From the article: "The issue is that with bundling the .dll, it would still mean it being extracted somewhere and writing additional code for the P/Invoke to work, and C++/CLI gets compiled to .NET IL code, in other words, you can open the resulting app in dnSpy and see the C++ code translated to C# equivalent (which is not what I want, I want native code)."

I don't understand what the author is talking about. When they say the C++ code will be translated to the equivalent c#, that's not how interop works at all... the native C++ DLL is not somehow made magically more vulnerable to reverse engineering because you can p/invoke to it.
> Can be compiled statically in a single .exe that is smaller than 40M.

That's... quite a high bar. Last I checked even a QML app was only like 20 MB. Why so big?
>Screws and gaskets are just as compact (see literally any wristwatch)

No, obviously screws require significantly more space.

>This, and probably some planned obsolescence, is the only reason why phones are glued together.

Seals are reversible and can be easily replaced by any half way competent repair shop.
Sigh. P hacking has long been a meme. Nicholas Cage and shark attacks for example. P values are useful though if the results seem at least plausible or can be explained by some underlying process. Like a low p value between calorie restriction and weight loss.
> quite likely many complaints will be had about phones failing at their advertised rating.

They already often do and manufacturers usually deny warranty due to water ingress which is really ridiculous on a supposedly waterproof phone.

At least this way it's easier to check and clean.

Also, the circuit boards themselves can be conformal coated leading to it not being such a big deal when water gets in.

When to Expect Domain-Specific AI Chips
For that to have any actual positive effect, they need to also dictate some specification to be followed, so that you can actually re-use the batteries when they outlast the phones.. (broken phone, new phone and so on)
Not sure, but if it was my own company I’d want to block third party batteries to ensure my users get the experience that I have designed and tested for.

If that wasn’t legal, then I’d want to at least log it. That way when someone claims my product burned down their house, I would have proof that it wasn’t my battery that did it.

This isn’t bullet proof however- if you are a big enough company the media headlines will still have your product in the headline, and you’d be lucky if the main body mentioned the manufacturer of the fault-causing component.
Just to go with this weird analogy, yes, I'll prefer to be immortal rather than to trust that the government won't try to murder me.

Also you hear that example over and over again because you can't get other ones to work reliably with Word2Vec; you'd have thought you could train a good classifier for color words or nouns or something like that if it worked but actually you can't.

Because it could not tell the difference between word senses I think Word2Vec introduced as many false positives as true positive, BERT was the revolution we needed.

I use similar embedding models for classification and it is great to see improvements in this space.
Frankly Qt is the only sane option. Just give up on the "single static exe" requirement. Your users will have to unzip a zip. Hardly a big deal. Certainly not worth switching your entire stack to something vastly inferior for.
Good start a description of IBM i. The article should explain more about capability based systems for it to make more sense.

For now I've put a mmWave sensor under my desk, which works fairly OK. It's not perfect, but definitely good enough.
I've used Qt a lot. Unless something very drastic has happened last 5-6 years it's not in the same league as say Delphi.

But fair enough, it's quite good. If I had to write a C++ UI application, it'd be on my shortlist.

> If this is not of imaginable use then 2020s IT is 100% screwed

I second that. To put it differently: Have we lost the ability to detect and appreciate (and utilize) the immense value (and excellence, and quality) in technology such as this?

I'd find that concerning ...

PS. I mean, from a different, practical angle: It is begging for some enterprising soul to come up with some compatible, modern (perhaps "simple"/calm-computing/e-Ink based) hardware for it.-

This OS was absolutely top-of-industry, running in millions of devices for decades, reliably, and back when hardware constraints really were a thing, but a thing the limitations of which brought the best in people ...
Writing a gui in Qt is so simple anytime someone like the GP says “writing a gui in c++ is hard” obviously hasn’t tried.
Maybe this could be used to offer aggregated feeds as a service. It could be further refined to filter content based on criteria either provided by the user or predefined by the service. An example could be something like an infosec feed with curated sources and maybe an optional refinement for content related to vulnerabilities.

This could also allow users to develop/fork the aggregated feeds and share them with a community.
Problem: It is extremely hard to stylize native Win32 controls.

That's not a problem, it's a feature. I am absolutely bloody sick of apps that go out of their way to reinvent the standard UI controls in perplexing ways and behave unexpectedly. Following the system UI preferences is what you should do, and it irritates your users if you don't.

There is a “hidden” dark mode for Win32 controls used by Windows File Explorer that you can activate, but it covers only some of the controls and still doesn’t look good.

Don't do that. If you use the regular Win32 controls then they will automatically get the styling the user has set.

I've been writing Win32 apps for close to 30 years now. It's sad to see the regression in UIs over the years.
I don't want every single phone to be worse just because people are too lazy to go to a repair shop.

Inevitably not glueing phones shut will lead to an increase in waste as other mechanisms will fail more often.

The author would have been served extremely well by AvaloniaUI with NativeAOT target if they were willing to drop their assumptions regarding C# that are no longer true.

Now do this one for AMD - “intel didn’t force you to only dell intel chips, but doing so would lose certain discounts on intel processors if you also wanted to sell pcs with intel processors included.”

Anticompetitive or no?
I wonder how possible it is to design a cross-platform GUI framework that not only uses the native UI widgets of each underlying platform, but also respects each platform's human interface guidelines. I'd imagine this would be very hard work, especially the part about respecting each platform's HIG, but the increased power of AI tools could potentially make this task easier. Such a framework could potentially be an appealing alternative to Electron for making cross-platform applications, with the benefit of conformity to each platform's HIG.
Have you slowed down to think about what you need in order to maintain long-term competency and satisfaction in a work envioronment?

You're talking about it through the abstract lens of some diagnosis you've received, but your experience of work is idiosyncratic and personal. You surely don't embody ADHD the exact same way others do (nor do they among each other), and you likely have needs that stretch beyond the scope of the diagnosis.

Try to be honest with yourself and compile a detailed history of your work. What was your experience of each work place? Why did you leave? What were you seeking when you accepted a new job?

With 15 companies and 20 years, there's a lot of data there. Look for patterns and try to suss out what makes things work and what doesn't.

And honestly, don't rule out that recurring defeat and burnout might be an inescapable part of the trade for you. That opens up the door for adapting to it by (say) learning to cache money and treat yourself to sabatticals between jobs, or even just adjusting your lifestyle and pursuing some new career altogether.
There's a very similar system in Germany with a hashtag code from Deutsche Post since 2020, called #PORTO:

In my experience it will be delivered and the sender will be politely asked to pay for it. They don't have to pay for it but it's rude not to.
If instead of insisting on custom UI styling the author just used the system UI, they could probably build a pretty straightforward Windows application. It’s the scourge of “brand identity” that has people thinking graphical applications are hard.

Same on the Mac: If you want to build a Mac application, your best bet will be AppKit or SwiftUI and using system controls. And when the OS updates your application will either update with it, or need only minor tweaks and a rebuild to look good.

There are times when you can cross the Atlantic on wind power without stopping. In 2016, Stan Honey, the inventor of car navigation, took a 100-foot sailboat across the Atlantic without tacking, knocking 27 hours off the previous time.[1] They kept the crew on standby until wind conditions were perfect, then set sail.

The butterflies were lucky. There must be many others that didn't make it.

Cutting service costs on their own while burdening the cost to their listeners is so backwards. My car radio can't do DAB and it would cost me quite a bit of money to install a replacement radio if I want a proper setup (i.e. as before in terms of usability/integration).
Now that you mentioned this... I don't know either, hah.

Good point though, I must've been clearer in the post.
The goal was to offer our help/get a job, with this approach acting as sort of a portfolio/walking the walk, since most of our past work has been in gaming and might have been not very relevant to their industries.
> For cash, the imaginary evil powers would have to convince tens of thousands of individual stores to do the same.

You seem to be implying that this is somewhat unlikely.

History is full of this exact thing happening.

Recent history.

Until the 1970s in the US it was legal, and common, for businesses to refuse to do business with a woman without a male's permission. There were only a precious few municipalities where this was not the norm.

Grocery stores until the mid-1900s did not actually sell products to women. Women would pick out and receive products and a bill would be sent to her male supervisor for his approval and payment. Even in large cities, this wasn't limited to the stereotypical geographic regions that seem to thrive on oppressing minorities (although the large coastal cities were the first to do away with it), it was very often illegal for a woman to live alone so single women would live in boarding houses with chaperones and curfews.

There seems to be a great cultural amnesia about all of this happening-- despite there being millions of people who are still alive to which it happened.

My mother joined the Women's Army Air Force in the early 1970s because she could not rent, open a bank account, use store credit, or obtain automobile insurance without her father's permission-- which he would have given but she being who she was (and still is) wouldn't ask for in a million years. Servicemember-associated organizations had no such compunction.

There is no functional difference in "opressivenessabilityivity" between cash and cards.

There is no nameless, faceless, "them" waiting to oppress you, oppression is a function of broader civil society.

It's not that clear cut:

“However, experts don’t know how the bacteria got into the body for nearly half of people who get STSS,” the CDC said on its website.

Since it was a Japanese person that warned me, it made be feel the situation is being under reported.

It also has a 30% death rate which is extremely high.

I don't get why every phone has to get worse because people are unwilling to let people repair them. What is the point? If someone isn't going to a repair shop, he also might not bother to buy a new battery.
That's a fair argument, but it doesn't appear that that updates are high on sleep number's priority list:

If we give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they intended to to keep it up to date but ultimately compaines need to either be transparent about their remote access and manage it responsibly, which includes keeping the system patched, or give up access

In the case of sloppy writing, the letter will be ejected from the sorting machine and reviewed by a human (same process as for illegible addresses).

If a human cannot find a match then the sender will receive a request to pay for the missing postage (presuming the code is invalid). If the sender is unknown the recipient will receive a payment request (which can be appealed).

Speaking from experience you would normally want the letter to arrive at its destination so I take care to write the code very clearly. I imagine this is true for most people.

Disagree. GUI development on Apple platforms using either UIKit or Appkit is something I've always found expressive, simple, and fun. SwiftUI is a different beast, but to say it's painful everywhere is not accurate.
