I can share an example from our company’s experience:

- 5 years using Flutter
- 31 full-time devs
- 3 platforms (iOS, Android, and Web)
- 1.3 million monthly active users

Overall, we’re very happy with our decision to use Flutter
Don't let this make you shy away from the idea of investing though! Remember that fiat currency as a general concept ensures that your base unit of value is constantly depreciating.

Even if there was zero growth in the overall economy, because of how we've structured our financial system, asset prices as a whole will always go up because they are pegged to a depreciating unit of value.
Python doesn't have a narrow scope. At least compared to Flutter. It's in so many places, from Linux installers, to medical, aerospace, math,... and finally the web (which is probably what we hear about the most).
I've found the Mandel Trilogy to be entertaining, too. Could be thought of as some world-building for the much later ND? But not as epic. Just three normal paperbacks.
That middle paragraph describes exactly my experiences with WordPress and that community. It's mediocrity and blindspots run wild.
Killing a bunch of people whose people killed your people, whose people killed your people, etc. That's a big part of history.

The Jews weren't killing any Germans. That's just a lie. In fact, many Jews were Germans, and many Germans were Jews.

A slightly better analogy would how the Germans treated the French during WWII, in revenge for how the French treated Germans after WWI, in revenge for how the Germans treated the French after the Franco-Purssian War, in revenge for how the French treated the Germans during the Napoleanic Wars, in revenge for ...
Seems like you are discovering the truism that the last 10% of a project takes as much time as the first 90% of the project. In my experience, it is always a slog to ship a product. What you are feeling is normal and the experience of many developers. You should plan for this part of the project and figure out ways to motivate yourself to ship something.

Personally I wish they sold a version without the camera and speakers. I already have those. A ultra wide would be nice too. I can’t imagine using two of them side by side, especially because it seems incredibly wasteful to have a duplicate speaker / camera set up.
> They integrated an NVMe controller into the SoC and they can now just buy NAND chips instead of full SSDs.

What they/everyone really ought to do is to standardize that, with the flash chips themselves still connected via a modular connector and the "NVMe controller" as open source.

Imagine integrating the flash ECC/RAIN with ZFS et al. Or the ability to decide for yourself if you want a lot of QLC or a bit of SLC or a mix of both, in software at runtime.
It would have been OK to decide to forbid endorsements a year earlier or just after the elections.

The timing is extremely suspicious. Both Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong (LA Times) pushed this decision through suddenly at almost the same time. I don't believe the reasons given for making the decision suddenly now.

Trump has promised revenge if he wins. They caved under pressure or pivoted. If Trump gets an AG that does exactly what he wants, he will go after his enemies in courts, and other means. Bezos and other billionaires cave in when they face bigger power. Mohammed bin Salman hacked his phone and then killed his employer. Bezos prevented the release of the Jamal Khashoggi document in Amazon Prime so as not to anger MBS.
Casual users do care about app behaving wrong, though.

If you can't copy or paste things, or if the navigation is backwards, or if the calendar looks weird etc etc - it all causes some minor frustrations, when things don't behave as user wants them to behave.

They don't know what "native" means, obviously - they don't have that knowledge. They just know crappy apps from well-behaving apps, because they have a frame of reference (vendor-supplied native apps).
clang does have __builtin_rotateleft32 & co. gcc doesn't though. (but of course for both of those just doing the manual rotate should be fine like always)
>I'd rather have my kids go hang out with their kids in the back yard and throw a ball around

It sounds like you need a pet, not kids. You're not going to spend your post-retirement years with kids: your kids are going to go to college while you're still working, and then move on with their lives as they build their careers, date, make new families, etc. Hanging out with their retired parents isn't something kids do very much; they're too busy with their own lives.

That time where you hang out with your kids in the back yard and throw a ball around lasts about 18 years (subtracting the years where the kid is too small to do anything interesting), and you have to fit that time in around your own work schedule.

I've never understood this crazy mentality that some people have, thinking their kids are going to be around them for the rest of their lives. After all, are you still living with your parents, and do you plan to do so until they die?
Except for tearing, which turned out to be a combination of Mesa/DRM bugs and Wayland naively assuming the behaviour of those bugs.

In practice the key criteria seem to be:

More nuances sure but if those are met then many consider it open in the non Stallman sense
This. They can have all the deviations they want, but “input core” must be native. If a framework ignores it, users will notice and frown upon it immediately.

When flutter came out publicly, first I thought no way it can get away with custom everything. But it turned out some developers don’t care about that at all.
> because we need to drive them from on-screen keyboard that for various reasons is also implemented in-page

There's your problem right there. Can you expand on the reasons? It seems like very bad practice for a website to provide it's own "keyboard" instead of using the system keyboard.
It's true that Chinese words don't inflect, but not all the grammatical categories you list are missing. There are aspect markers like 了 and 正在, and nouns are definite or indefinite even if they're not marked as such by articles: 有 can only have an indefinite object, for example.

You can get a countertop RO unit for home use that's so easy to use. It's also utterly cheaper to use than any commercially purchased RO water. Just remember to clean the pitcher and your water bottle every week from their insides.

Also, if you buy the RO water in plastic, that's risking avoidable microplastics. I use glass and steel bottles.
You're right, but not all of them link to the puzz.link player. The ones using the pzv.jp player, for instance, lack that feature.

I think handwriting is a very personal trait. Some people value good handwriting and they write neat even when they write fast. Others don't. Sadly, a vast majority if the world exists in the other camp. This is why they invented typewriters. If everyone conformed to good handwriting and could agree upon a good writing style standard, the world would have been very different.
Nice! It would be cool for Wine Wayland driver to also fix window resizing (regedit currently is blinking all over when being resized).
Sure, it is not guaranteed profit, but it is certainly not "always a scam" as previous poster put it. It is very likely a way to make profit.
Agreed. I feel like the "training data must ALSO be open source" argument solely stems from trying to nitpick at Meta's efforts.

The training data provides almost no value, since it's usually just unstructured text dumped from the internet. However, by demanding it, one creates almost impossible-to-reach goalposts. If, somehow, Meta had also released their training data, I suspect the goalposts would immediately move to something else.

RO water is also quite comparable and is more power efficient. I hope and assume you use a pH normalization cartridge, perhaps with minerals too.
ISO docs seem to me to be one of those club antigoods.. paying for them doesnt necessarily make them less destructive (dependent on timescales tho, i do believe that standards are an unalloyed good if they are patched with a timeconstant low compared to what standards bodies consider optimal)
I thought the same thing.

I was once discussing a third-party integration with a React developer. The integration required that our app POST a couple of fields to the third-party's site. I found that the developer was struggling with the integration and they were asking me questions about it when I said something to them along the lines of "It's just an HTML form, with a couple of hidden inputs that when submitted make a POST request to this URL" they said to me "Yeah, well HTML is kinda old, it's not really used anymore"...

I'm sure I've said plenty of stupid things when I was green but I hope no one remembers them like I remember this one. It lives rent free in my head.
Actually it makes perfect sense. They see that climate change is an issue, but are eager to find some solution that doesn't involve them giving up any of the luxuries to which they have become accustomed.
No it isn’t. It fucking sucks. Most everyone who learns HTML comes across the validation attributes, the god awful built in date pickers and other shit, and they throw it out in favour of custom built better UX implementations. Maybe in the past we would have been clueless because, well, they didn’t exist, but today they do. And they’re junk.

Call spade a spade. Don’t call it heavily underused.
Got the Mac Studio when it came out and while its speed was impressive at first, ultimately I've been disappointed, too many technical glitches and issues with peripherals and the like, and my several iMacs before it are all junk now. I'm done with Apple desktops. So I'll be passing on this iMac.

They're laptops are still premium (better be for the price).
`type=text inputmode=numeric` (from other comment)
A few things:

- the machine pays for it's space through rent or share of the take obviously

- think of it more like sharing the custom rather than giving away the custom. sharing benefits both parties just like in any other cooperative deal. the machines are something that some customers are attracted to just like the regular shelves

- think of it also like an extra employee for free. A very stupid employee that can only do one thing, but it can always reliably do that one thing without supervision or breaks or pay. Some sales would not have happened anyway, but the machine took care of some customers by itself, and the shop owner makes less from it, but it also cost them less, and the total package of amenities presented by the shop is more than without the machines.

Some people actively do not want to deal with a clerk even if they are fast and good natured and there is no one else in line to make them wait. For that matter, not just some people but almost everyone feels like that at least once in a while, because every day is not a happy day. Come to think of it, in that sense, it's not even just about sales but about serving a need that costs more or less nothing to serve. Your shop is simply a bit more useful for everyone around by including a bit of this option.
He was good at sales but their products were and are still inferior. Only Excel and SQL Server are two products I would personally buy.

I have been trying to out Zola, as mentioned in the readme, but I really want to make sure there aren't things like telemetry or other random features injected in or getting added (as seems to be the case with jekyll with ai-folio or academic pages) so it takes a while to go through everything.

Ai-folio or academic pages is basically my use case or target, but I want something with zero javascript, which tends to be a bit hard in todays age.
> these arrow buttons

A spinner control, that is.

Spinners always puzzled me, to be honest. There is obviously a need for a compact numeric input control that both displays the exact value and allows rough changes using the mouse. Witness knobs in DAWs—which don’t actually work the way you’d expect from their appearance, you’re supposed to grab and then drag in a linear fashion, possibly ending outside the knob’s screen bounds. Or consider the weird input thing Darktable uses—which at least doesn’t mislead you with false skeuomorphism, but takes a bit to figure out. Then there are the inputs used for color grading in DaVinci Resolve. And so on. And all of them are nonobvious. Spinners are obvious, but they are also needlessly fiddly to use with the mouse, and neither do they provide the at-a-glance readability of knobs et al.

I feel like humanity just hasn’t solved compact numeric inputs yet.

Have you tried using a compose key? I lost my custom mappings when switching from X to Wayland, but they work fine in both.

I did lose my custom mappings though, but I only needed them when I was in emacs and obviously there's already a command for inserting weird stuff, so I just added a binding for it.
Sorry, I spoke imprecisely. The bulk of the value I get from my consumer Bloomberg subscription comes from his writing.
Wayland unfortunately is a mess that is hard to implement so we get a balkanized situation where not only everything often boils down to Big Important Process in the middle (that actually integrates more things than X.Org used to), the set of features it supports are way more balkanized and most importantly, specific to that one Big Important Process as they can't be viably separated out.

And even then you have to deal with a mix because you have to work through two different unsynced possibly broken in weird ways connections (Wayland + D-Bus).

This results in how last week I couldn't screenshare under Wayland, and had zero chances to figure it out - and to make it worse since I had some important state and no time to play with reboots, I couldn't fix it.
Funny story. I used to see Steve almost every weekday for a couple of years.

I can't speak to his business skills, but I can attest that he never once offered a tip for his daily black iced tea. We'd even have it ready for him before he showed up so he never had to wait! He would pay with cash, and I'd hand him his change and drink, and that was that.

It's funny to me now: one of the richest men in the world and he never once offered a tip.

Frugality aside, he was always very polite and warm so I can't be mad. Makes for a good ice breaker story.

Edit: holy moly, this is a sensitive subject. Please remember this was from a time before tipflation. Tipping meant you left your change behind once in a while only if you felt the desire to show appreciation. It wasn't an obligation. Yes, I still do think it's a funny story. Roast me for being entitled lol
In case anyone wonders what's the big deal about this: As someone who knows a liiittle bit about collider physics, I think a relatively clean, relatively high energy electron gun has the advantage of reducing the "emittance" of the beam, i.e. creating a beam whose particles have speeds and movement directions very close together. Starting with a low emittance beam means it's easier to end up with a low emittance beam, though AFAIU starting with a very clean beam is not a hard requirement - there are "conditioning" methods, some of which lose a fraction of the particles (not ideal).

Gaiman's Norse Mythology is quite readable, though it is VERY inaccurate. It's better read as an "inspired by Norse Mythology" book. Basically, it's fan fiction.
Within reason. There could be unforeseen consequences. See microplastics
Deep discount on the M3, imo. That $500 ($1500 on sale vs $2000 new) is better spent on more RAM, or non-Apple products.

If you're using an Intel-based Mac, it really is a huge jump. Intel Macs are basically just really poorly cooled laptops, making them worse, performance-wise
I am not sure what you are saying. The assignment of the WordPress trademark to the Foundation was on the same day it was licensed back to Automattic and Matt for WordPress (commercial usage) and wordpress.org

Matt tried to put Wordpress.org as a 501(c)(3) but they ran into problems, e.g. it was a lead gen for paid plug-ins that Automattic owned. So Matt has used his and Automattic resources for wordpress.org for a long time. You can read more about this in the WPEngine suit (page 12). [1]

> Even VTINX has a conservative mix of 30% stocks.

Your average retiree does not live off of VTINX.

> I'd say if you cannot afford to hold any stocks you're probably not yet ready to retire.

There's so many variables here that it's really not worth discussing.
I'll just say that investing in stocks for retirement is a pretty recent fascination that is far less common outside of the US and in poorer regions in the US.

Plenty of American retirees (maybe even a majority) own little to no stocks and live on a fixed income, making them very vulnerable to inflation (which was the whole basis of OP's idea that old people are holding up the stock market).
But those are modules added on by developers other than the 50 core devs.
I want to disagree, but honestly the recursive method I tend to use is almost isomorphic to a loop + stack/deque. Eager elimination of `x=t` pairs, or eager normalization of substitutions sounds potentially inefficient, imho it's better to check that on the fly upon selecting a pair.

> I don't think there is anything wrong with a newspaper opinion section providing a clear, well-articulated endorsement of a candidate based on their merits.

Yes and no, but mostly no. The context is the problem. There's not a high enough wall between news and op-ed. When op-ed does what is supposed to be option and that simply reflects the "journalism" on the news side of the house, then both sides lose.

Put another way, before these entities dole out endorsements they need to work 100x harder to regain trust. What good is an enforcement if no one trusts you? FFS, the reviews on Amazon are more trustworthy than these self-proclaimed journalists.

Oh yes it is...

I once worked on a project where we had a tool that dynamically built client-side forms based on each customer's needs. After rolling it out for a big customer I discovered (after the original engineer responsible had already been fired for other reasons) that all of our dynamic forms had NO server side validation. none, zilch, nada.

We did have client side validation though, a good amount of it and nearly all of it was using native HTML features, and we had the whole form available server-side as well. So given that I was under a crunch, on form submission I loaded the HTML form server-side, manually iterated over all the elements and re-implemented the validation checks that were embedded in the HTML. Crazy times, but heck it was flexible!
I read the Tripod Trilogy to my little brother and we both loved the story. It's one of my favorites to this day. Going further back, I also liked Wells's "The First Men in the Moon".
Hard not to be cynical about this paper when the author suggests there are medications for "gut leakiness". Seems like they tested a bunch of non specific proteins and p hacked to get a few results for publishing.
