Consider that for many GTK is also native. Mate/Gnome has been a standard for many years. Personally I'm getting more problems with Qt apps than GTK. Especially: font rendering, once a year or so Qt apps revert to outline fonts (I use bitmap OTB fonts as desktop font - i like pixel perfect quality in small sizes) or worse stop rendering font at all and I get empy menus.
Second thing is IME support this also breaks very often on updates.
Why Qt neglects such basic things I don't know, but because of the above I cannot call Qt 'excellent'

> the surprising part about closures is that they capture variables by reference, not by value

Not too surprising when you realize python objects are accessed by reference. Zero, one or many names can be bound to that reference. The options when binding an environment to a closure are to copy the current environment with the current values, or to just save a reference to the current environment. That latter approach is used everywhere else in python. Assignment never copies, for example, so that's what happens with closures.

The workaround that involves creating a helper function seems much too heavy an approach. Just force evaluation of the formal parameter in the environment:

fns = []
for i in range(3):
def f(i=i): # force evaluation of parameter
print(i)
fns.append(f)

for f in fns:
f()

I don't disagree that money (and therefore capitalism or frankly any financial system) is unable to create happiness.

I disagree with your example, however, as the most basic tenet of capitalism is that when there is a demand, someone will come along to fill it.

Addressing your example specifically, there's a fixed supply of housing in capitalist countries not because people don't want to build houses, but because government or bureacracy artificially limits the supply or creates other disincentives that amount to the same thing.

Why do you think that?

What you're describing is one small part of becoming an adult, to start thinking about other people and caring about how they see the world. How old were you at the time? Did you grow up in an environment where your gender/class/whatever is taught to keep feelings hidden in public? Is there some other reason you weren't taught as a kid that it is important to be considerate and caring?

Such experiences can be quite deceptive, you know. One of my first LSD dealers thought he was being empathetic while tripping but he actually just ruminated on his own views and reinforced his own misconceptions about other people. The experience also gave him a feeling of superiority dressed up as self-perceived wisdom. At raves I met other people affected in the same way, and I found them rather insufferable. MDMA as well as other 5-HT2a-agonists can have a similar effect unless paired with therapeutic activities and careful self-reflection.

Both things are true at the same time.

Git is wildly popular, and a large part of that is its solid and fast technical underpinnings. Unlike its open source predecessors (svn/cvs), it excelled at distributed development.

At the same time, git also has a terrible CLI, combined with unnecessarily complexity like staging, stashes, rebase states, etc. This has been true from the beginning. Mercurial was built at the same time (also by a linux kernel dev!), and was generally considered to have a much better CLI and mental model. I think hg lost out despite that because it was slower than git, and didn't have Linus behind it.
On the one hand, this seems like a completely nonsensical, pointless change for the sake of change that has no tangible effect on UX.

On the other, something about the particular gradient used makes me deeply uncomfortable. Just obvious enough to catch your eye, but indistinct enough to make you feel like something's wrong with your eyes.

A change that accomplishes nothing and a change that degrades the experience are in theory mutually exclusive, yet somehow this feels like both.
There is also an additional benefit to reproducible builds, where getting the same output every time could help avoiding certain regressions. For instance, if GitHub actions performs extensive testing on a particular executable. Then you want to be able to get the exact same executable in the future, not one that is slightly different.

You keep referring to a court case but I think you’re talking about Kelly’s? Ghosn has never had a trial in Japan, so he hasn’t been acquitted (or convicted) of anything. Even if the pension deceit was somehow above board, there’s still the inconvenient 140ft yacht unknowingly paid for with Nissan funds and registered to Ghosn’s son’s shell company parked in a bay near Beirut that multiple different courts have found was illegally obtained..
You're trying to weasel out of this, which I will not allow. I specifically said that they make profit in their car business _even excluding_ all the other things. They do carry forward prior losses, of course, of which they had a massive amount, and reduce their tax obligations to near zero with them, but they are profitably building EVs. Why? Because they are vertically integrated, and they also build their own batteries, like e.g. BYD.

I don't mean to claim that Renault is technically incompetent (obv. that's false).

I find that these companies have something very unique about themselves in terms of culture. And you lose a lot when you try to change it.

For eg. a lot of expats in Tokyo have this attitude that Japanese companies are dim-wits and that they have "westernize" and become English-speaking techbros (Rakuten calls this English-nization).

There might be some things that can be emulated better, but the solution always tends to be a bit too... christian, or rather monotheistic (ie . wipe out everything before and mass replace).

In general, it's very hard, and a constantly moving target, to make 'hard' NP-complete problems.

For example, it's really nice to have a problem generator which make a series of hard problems, for things like benchmarking. It's very common that someone comes up with such a system, then someone ends up finding a way of solving "almost everything" that the random generator makes, by finding a good way of finding solutions to the solvable problems, and/or finding a way to easily prove unsolvable problems have no solutions.

The second category tends to be more interesting, it ends up being really hard to make large random unsolvable problems which don't end up including some kind of "flaw" with high probability, where the flaw ends up being easy to find, and easily proves the problem is unsolvable.

Same; I personally find that bit of magenta very aggravating. If I had to try and articulate a logical explanation, it might be that if a cheap red pigment were printed in "analog" then it might easily "fade" to something pinkish. I know very little about "design" but I feel like red and magenta don't at all look pleasing together, and when they occur together my mind interprets some defect in the display mechanism and that subtly triggers anxiety and adds tension in my jaw. It's like I instinctively want to "rub the defect" off my screen, and it's aggravating that I cannot.
I don't think its similar because this time those are not war thorn nations, it's just a period of population decline.

IMHO post communist countries after they got their shit together is closer analogy. They all had their infrastructure built, they had a well educated population and the problem was and its still is that there are not many young people to look after the aging population.

I have driven nothing but pre-2008 Nissans for about 20 years.

Not a single major failure across 6 vehicles, except one Nissan Silvia (1992) that I used to race. Not really it's fault, I blew the motor pushing it hard for 3 years. I also crashed my first Silvia into a tree at 16, but it was running fine before that. That's how it got to the tree!

Even the 2007 Pathfinder and current 2003 Stagea are rock solid, and I consider them post-peak for Nissan.

It doesn't seem very surprising that drugs which affect the mind, mood, and desire for food or alcohol have this effect on some people. You could say it's not the drugs, it's the change in self ideation and I would not disagree but I do think it's unsurprising the weightless drugs affect libido.

I would think almost all psycho active/tropic drugs affect libido one way or another. Maybe this story is balanced by people with positive effects, it's probably complicated.

> As means per.

Not exactly. You can use each one alone in this context, but they don't quite mean the same thing.

"As predicted" means something like "In the way that was predicted".

"Per my prediction" means "According to my prediction".

As you noted, the combination doesn't really make sense: "In the way that according to". But it's an idiom. People say it just because they've heard others say it.

The Merriam Webster definition for "per" (sense 3) says "according to — often used with as". Like many idioms, it doesn't necessarily make sense if you break it down.
