People in Japan reliably observe societal norms. If a capsule hotel floor is for sleeping and getting dressed, then the only noises you'll hear are people sleeping and getting dressed. Think of the door as a "quiet please" sign rather than a physical light/sound suppressor.
It's almost the opposite of the US, where people take pride in exercising their right to be assholes. Talking in movie theaters, taking speakerphone calls in public, watching videos on phone speakers in airport lounges, etc. are unimaginable in Japan but sadly commonplace here in the US.
In the hotels where I stayed, there were usually little airplane-style vents supplying cool air, so you could reach up to the top of the capsule and dial whatever level of ventilation you wanted. Barely audible.
The US is a big place. There are certainly huge areas of the country in which social norms have deteriorated to the point you’re describing, but it’s not the case across the nation. There are still plenty of small towns in rural US (and Canada) where speaking in a movie theatre, playing music on a bus, or littering on the street are generally not tolerated and at worst might even invite a polite confrontation. In the area I grew up and now own a home in, it’s not uncommon to see unoccupied roadside produce stands (with incredibly food) which are entirely cash and self serve. It’s not hard to explain why stands like that don’t exist in urban America.
I’ve spent half my time in NYC and Seattle the past couple years. I think it really can’t be understated how different rural and urban America are in their social norms and behaviors.
Agree. The language is different. The standard library is different. The runtime is different. The last two quite substantially at that. JavaScript is more like Ruby than Elixir is. I'm tempted to say Go and Jave are more Ruby than Elixir is.
FWIW, I've been using elixir for about a year now, and I think it's fantastic. I still use node & ruby for scripts (which can get complicated, but almost always for one-offs and asynchronous processing), Go for anything I actively want to share memory (though, started using Crystal, can't wait for threads), and OpenResty for any web proxy/middleware stuff. But Elixir is now the lions share for me and I find it fun and productive.
I want to build a language that focuses on developing microservices. Which should be performant and easy to write. This is why Rooby has Ruby's user friendly syntax and is written in Go."
At least Crystal brings new features like static typing, light threads, and compilation. From the README I don’t see what Rooby is bringing to the table.
Maybe not being static typed is what could make it appealing to Ruby developers. For example I don't like to have to declare types or generics. Type inference is ok.
There is a wide range of languages to pick the one that better suits our style from. That's great and I like that people keeps trying.
Static typing doesn’t mean you have to declare types. Type inference means you can write code just like a non-typed language but you get the safety + it executes faster. IMHO, except for toy languages, not having (strict) typing in 2017 is a language design flaw.
It's a tradeoff between safety and convenience. It's swinging toward safety now and it will swing back towards convenience again. At best we're living in a damped harmonic oscillator. Maybe type inference is the equilibrium point.
I still haven't found a clear answer to that, but using the LGPL license could pose a problem, because you need to allow the user to recompile the application with his own version of Qt.
On iOS shared libraries are not allowed on the store, so you should distribute the files for static linking... it becomes quite messy and sort of unclear from the legal point of view.
Even if it's wasn't clear before now it's pretty clear - you must buy commercial license if you want to be on App Store. There was Qt license change[1] in January 2016 and there is no longer LGPLv2.1 licensed version since Qt 5.7.
Only option for commercial software currently is LGPLv3 and it's doesn't allow tivoization.
Hey thanks. I wasn't aware of the dylib appstore restriction. Is this still the case with iOS8 and if not, could a dynamic LGPL Qt app be put on the store. I hope they allow this going forward.
The fun thing about printed books in Iran(well im not sure about other states but at least about Tehran) is that you can almost find any censored book you want if you try, maybe just not in the bookstores, perhaps street.
Also the censorship in Islamic TV is just stupidly ridiculous but it's not that stupid comparing it to printed books.
Another fun thing about this topic is that I wouldnt have heard about this biggest(?! come on :|) bookstore if it werent for the folk who submitted this link.
