Qbs is deprecated. Building with qmake is still supported for end users of the Qt framework. For building Qt itself, since Qt6, the build system was moved to CMake.

Curiosity is not something you are born with, yes. It's influenced by the experiences you have. I don't think iPhones allow for the experiences that push kids to want to hack things. It is pretty much a sealed environment where al

> “Fake it until you make it” is often dismissed as shallow, but it’s closer to Franklin’s truth. Faking it long enough is making it. The repetition of behavior, not the sincerity of belief, is what shapes character. You become the kind

Yes, put words in my mouth and then ask me to defend them. Clearly I expressed support for the view that humans have a "magic soul that is too important beautiful to ever be equalled by a machine"... On the other hand, you are cle

Why are you so sure that reality is reducible to your notion of computation, whatever that is?

From the video: "The most advanced AI is not conscious. It actually has an entirely different basis. It is not alive. It has no body. It has no feelings. It does not participate in some sort of struggle for survival or anything like th

Alien or syntethic life will have to go through similar challenges to those that shape human life, human intelligence and our consciousness. No text prediction machine, no matter how complex or "large", has to change its evolving

The supposed target of this game do not at all match who can actually play it. Kids don't have Macs. Those who want to hack don't have iPhones. I would even say that a kid with an iPhone will never get the necessary curiosity abou

What non-biological systems do we know of that have consciousness, sentience or emotions?

Hard to tell what is actually novel here compared to the game of life. There are ways to demonstrate these differences, if they exist. For example, by showing how these links rules modify simple game of life setups, like gliders or oscillat

Merging is exactly what I expected when I put chunks together, with tap to separate them again.

I owe so much to that website. I first had access to a computer at 13, some nights of the week and only some of those nights did I also have internet access. Somehow I still discovered le Site du Zéro at that time. While I barely touched a

> model real behavior without the unwanted effects. That's how I was looking at this since that's the experience I've had with mocks. For example, mocking an API to test a library that uses that API without incurring the r

I can not imagine when this type of library becomes useful. What's a usage example for this? What do you gain over rolling your own?

Compilers have been warning about unitialized variables for a very long time now. The claim was that the compiler missed that in a patch you reviewed for the kernel. The link posted does not show the review discussion nor a commit log showi

A better title would be "Upgrading underlying language standard without even minimal testing brings down compiler".

Very nice! I have been working on something similar so I'm glad more people are going in this direction. QML is so obviously one of the best things that happened recently for GUI development, but it's not used enough. Browsing qui

Happy pico.sh user here! So simple to setup and use. I would really love to see this go open source (for whatever reason I thought it was already open source...). In any case, keep up the good work!

"don't break user space" is about the Linux kernel not breaking user space. Qt is user space as well as any desktop environment or GUI framework. Introducing breaking changes with major version releases is standard software d
