dialog, wish, whiptail...

I just need to know why that garbageware is so slow. Show me the code! :)

What happened to the good old days of 'wish' and friends?

Holy hell, the source archive is huge.

I just saw how that the demo is slow to boot and wanted to see the horror of the code.

Ok no, there is no code in the archive. Only images.

If you're talking about charging for individual customers then here in EU you're fine with just one RFID card.

Well, you were apparently too far from that ruling minority. At the level of the shopkeepers/teachers/etc.

For the positions like for example even drivers for the high party members it starts getting unequal.

And about the nineties: inequality in the nineties is weird because very large amount of the criminals who got rich didn't bother to educate their children. Of course, some part of them opted for expensive teachers/schools or for sending children to the Western schools, but the "getting by force" attitude of the parents didn't really mesh well with learning.

Shut down the pubs and focus on the important stuff.

It's already surprising how much of the activity turned out to be "non-essential". And we can have oil at half-price to do the essential. :D

The "social capital" was based on the proximity to the ruling minority. The power was greatly centralized so there weren't many of those type of families. Majority had all same: same stuff like photocopied all over the place.

About the beatings: it's more about the Russian culture, it's even kinda normal for the husband-wife relationships in some regions. To the West there was less of it.

When you're in such a school you can really feel what's up, especially in Soviet/post-Soviet case: the socioeconomical situation is exactly the same (because communism), and you usually know the families of other pupils. Then you see the ones who try hard but still can't get it, you also see the lazy smarts.

Most of the children don't want, don't care or just plain stupid to be able to grasp the subjects.

It makes sense to isolate together those who can. The special schools don't do anything special, they just cut down the distractions, shift 0.5-2 university years into the school and spice things up with some competitive math/physics/programming/chemistry/biology/geography/etc.

Yea, after an hour Factorio feels like "can I just write a script instead?"

It's fine to play for a bit with the new tech branches that come out occasionally in the updates.

It's rewriting in progress.

Your diagram is wrong tho.

auth_pam/auth_basic in the nginx config and the http/https does authentication.

And far less space to mess things up than with coding a fancy login page.

"Coronavirus clue? Most cases aboard U.S. aircraft carrier are symptom-free"

Be fit. Be young.

We've solved it boys, hit the showers.

Numbers of developers and code aren't vague. They are disproportionately significant. And you don't even use arguments, just a low-effort labeling.

"You have a poisoned view"? That's just your opinion. I tried to base mine on a somewhat objective observation about speeds and volumes of stuff happening.

"Everything bad has something to do with javascript"? Don't put words in my mouth.

"A C# developer at Microsoft" plus a javascript explosion. Aren't you just confirming my point? Those new people didn't materialise out of thin air, they may have been software developers who had to change focus rapidly. And they didn't necessarily knew how their creations could be misused under the rules of that new javascript world.

And he doesn't look old enough to be a designer of POSIX threads.

(if you don't like my expression about the "vibe" then I'll give you an example of a protocol with a C vibe: the type value would be a fixed-length field with a table of integer IDs written in the standard; everyone would complain about integer sign, wrap-arounds and the new extension field that was added because we ran out of IDs)

It has a huge vibe of incompetent reinwheeling that is natural to the javascript ecosystem because of the web explosion that gave us a large amount of people with no clue.

Ok, apparently his commanders didn't want the responsibility. They wanted a "phone call" they can ignore, not a written record that will later bite them in the ass.

And in order to actually act they had to leak it because silently acting on it involves getting a refusal from their commanders and also writing an email. It's monkeys all the way up.

It's not a technical problem. We can start a useful tracking almost immediately, but it's a question of freedoms.

Don't know what exactly he means, but I have a similar feeling. My area is a performance-oriented close-to-metal backend, but when I have to do something in the UI I find it extremely opinionated and 90% of the code you read is to make angular work while 10% is for your actual task.

If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.

I took qt-unified-linux-x86-2.0.5-2-online.run, launched, pressed "Skip" when it was asking for the account, and it's downloading.

Have you tried it? Does it ask after the download?

Usually nobody asks to release. It's a risk to get that kind of request, but it's way more trivial than routine software development risks.

The biggest problem of Qt is the FUD just like you're spreading.

No. All is LGPL except for some niche libraries.

Copperspice is just a purity zealot project specifically against the moc, it's not a healthy goal. The focus should be on the GUI.

You can link statically. Oh my god, we've been over this infinite number of times.

That's FUD.

It's in virtually every Linux distribution as binary and source. You don't need a "Qt Account".

It goes both ways.

You can't easily separate "straight-up lie" and "politically debatable questions". There are tons of "straight-up lies" used for creating questions, making them "politically debatable" and then acting violently.

No, it's natural. The conventions are different in different areas of software development so it may look weird to different groups.
