While QA and testing is important, I’m not sure you can convince the people only concerned about profits… I think the “release it fast and patch it later” concept here to stay due to the internet being so accessible. Why bother spending tons of money and time when the users will just report the bugs and you can release updates over the internet they can download. Ever since physical copies of video games and software were replaced mainly by downloads, it seems like patching is cheaper. Of course this leads to horrendous security issues, bad user experience, etc. but who cares as long as the guy on top is maximizing profits.

I can’t answer from rust perspective, but just my opinion. GUI frameworks in general seem like an atrocity, you have QT and that seems like it besides proper native development and targeting 1 platform.

Java still seems like the only language with cross platform GUI and swing/awt are on the way out with javaFX being “abandoned”? (Probably not the right term but it never was made main stream). You got to Python, etc and it’s an absolute mess. C/c++ have a few but cross platform still seems tough.

Don’t even get me started on the mess of electron.

You need to pass a road test which they are pretty picky with along with a written test. The written test had a lot of random crap you would never use imo. Honestly not too difficult but I imagine it might be for someone in and out of prison life.

I don’t know much about prison/jail but I do agree it should focus on re-habilitation they should have systems to help you study and get a drivers license while in there for example.

Do you mean this would be an issue with regards to using their asset store/3rd party plugins for your game?

If so how is it really any different from just regular nodejs packages or Python packages?that’s a risk developers seem to ignore.

Or are your talking about scripts being added for modding purposes like Minecraft? If so that’s a pretty good point, would be nice to have godot implement some sort of sandboxed system you can use. Not sure what the term would be or how that would even work.

This is the only rationale solution, I mean education regarding most of physics and math when I took it never made sense to me. They would want you to memorize equations, or work without a calculator or without the internet. There is no situation in life anymore where you would be doing engineering without access to resources, the internet and a calculator. The same could be applied to nearly all areas of education right now beyond like 5th grade. Education has been frozen in time, and this is just the final nail that will hopefully make them re-work it.

It’s not fear, Elon at least is looking for time to catch up and compete.

Genuine question, would you not be held responsible in the US if a meteor hit your fence allowing your dog to get out and bite someone? I know that it was unpreventable but isn’t it still your dog and your responsibility?

Somewhat related but every time I see the AWS lambda I immediately think half life.

I think they are referring to the fact you can’t even try it without signing up. I don’t think people mind signing up and paying if they feel they will use it.

So much stuff is released every day, I don’t want to be bothered creating an account and giving my info to everything on the internet. Give me a good demo and if I’m interested I’ll sign up.

Octave seems great since it’s open and let’s you run Matlab scripts.

A bit offf topic, but is Matlab relevant still? I’ve heard it’s still in use a lot, but what’s the benefit of going with a walled off proprietary $$$ tool when you can use something like this? Python and R also seem like they’re growing so much and are very open.

I just remember taking a class on Matlab and being pretty disappointed in it with how closed it felt. Will totally check out octave tho!

A bit off topic, but I’d love to see something like Wikipedia references added to YouTube in some way. Being able to cite something at a point of video would be awsome. Sounds like it might be sorta impossible tho

I don’t know how to phrase this and it might be a bit of a ramble, but your reply is something I’ve been thinking about with atom. I personally hated eclipse, due to it feeling constantly like everything was it’s own package and not really working together, but recently was trying out emacs, and was quite impressed. Atoms philosophy sorta reminds me of the two where it’s “everything is an extension”.

I guess my question is, is how did this work out for it? I never gave atom a try, but did it feel like everything sorta worked together? Or was it more of a eclipse feeling where every package feels like it’s own separate object?

Vscode is a decent out of box experience but it’s custom ability is rather limited imo. Would love to give atom a try if this community version succeeds at all.

sigh well it looks like I’ll be jumping ship to Joplin this weekend.

I’ve honestly lost hope in Evernote and just kept using it out of laziness to migrate, but I don’t like what the future holds.

Just a list of tools that have this, in case you use any of them and didn’t know: Vim - has this with undo tree Emacs - has this as well Jetbrains - IDE’s have this with local history they show changes made. VScode has this I’m pretty sure by default otherwise there’s a plug-in for it since I remember doing it. Also just want to add something really cool about vim and undo/redos that relates to this post. With vim your able to “block” or “bunch” your changes which allows you to control what an undo will do. For example, going into insert mode and typing a sentence than exiting insert mode would be one “bunch” and undo would undo that entire sentence. If you wanted to you can control it by leaving insert mode after a adding a single word or making a single edit and that will be what the undo will revert. Probably rambling a bit here, but the concept of controlling what will be undone/redone is a really neat feature of vim.

I think there’s quite a lot of options for static webpages now though. Would GitHub pages not be perfect for this?

Not the person you asked, but for me it’s the social aspect.

I can’t stand being on a camera, voice and text chat don’t really replace the in-person conversations for me.

Everything else is either the same or much worse working in person.

Wow, I’ll have to remember that. I always am fumbling to get to an http site to redirect when I go on the train or somewhere.

Honestly this is my experience as well, they “just work” till they just don’t work. Than getting either the Apple or Microsoft product to work is usually hours of time wasted.

I guess you could say the same about open source or systems like Linux where they also have their issues, but fixing those issues always seems to be a fraction of the time.

Take a look at Joplin, it had a WYIWYG editor and normal editor.

It’s like an open source Evernote.

My understanding was you had to either not allow connections from that country to access your site or have some version that doesn’t track them.

Your probably not at risk for anything, as your using googles service, but I’m not a lawyer. I’d assume if your using google analytics, google would be responsible for following these guidelines?

Google will probably release info on this if they haven’t already. But I find it hard to believe unless your rolling your own analytics anyone would come after you.

I get where they’re coming from, but this just sounds insane. If there were FOSS CPU microcode that could replace it or something and they only wanted to support that than fine, but if there’s no FOSS option why create security risks for users?

I love the FOSS community, but sometimes their rationale is a bit too extreme for the average person to get behind.

For me it really depends on how much I smoke and what the task is. If I’m trying to learn new tech and implement something new I’m weed dosnt help. If it’s coding in a language I already know beyond the absolute basics and I smoke a reasonable amount it actual makes me feel more engaged. Of course 10 bong rips or something wouldn’t be good, but a certain amount is great once in a while. As for alchahol after about 1 beer I lose all motivation to do anything and think clearly.

Ya I’m a little confused, why is this thing $400 for something that doesn’t even work? Is the target audience developers who want to develop drivers and stuff for this? If so shouldn’t it be as cheap as possible? I don’t see the point in trying to make money at this stage when your target is people interested in a non functional product.

This reminds me of what I read about Nicotine and how it was thought to prevent Alzheimer's, but I believe it was just the fact those smoking tobacco had a lower chance to live to the age to be diagnosed or develop it.

Nice example, the problem with the article is the client(teacher) doesn’t know what they want in this case. It’s a good example of how feature creep and project scoping is important but if all you really want is a script to log urls that’s simple. Building a url logger with top notch security practices, cross platform, simple enough for my mom to use would be entirely different.

Emacs org-mode allows taking notes and having code blocks you can execute in the notes.

As someone who doesn’t use emacs though, I personally would love to see something like that with markdown/latex/notebooks. I guess you can already sorta do it with Jupyter and things like this.

Would be interesting for a more note-oriented tool to do this though.

I feel like this is the benefit of a web app, you can just simply open it without having to go through download process etc. Just being able to open a link and get started or try it out is the best part.

Ya I’m a person that really believes in crypto and the major changes it can make but, people need to remember the US dollar is a different beast. It’s got the strongest military on earth backing it, a pretty powerful IRS, and decently structured government. Sure it and it’s government has its faults but so does everything.

I feel like once you’ve worked on a few projects the desire to “reinvent” the wheel is quickly destroyed. The main thing they never teach in school and you really can’t understand until your doing it is maintenance.

Projects are like a balancing act where you need to weigh the pros and cons of every choice and choose the best one. The hard part is being able to do that and do it in a reasonable amount of time.

I’m not sure YouTube is the place for this content. Google does not seem to have any intention of providing ways to verify your credentials or providing references/facts. It’s clear YouTube is not the place people should be relying on to share this type of information or really share anything knowledge based.

I would love to see almost a Wikipedia version of YouTube, where videos could be submitted by anyone and facts/references could be linked at any point of the video.
