Here is the link to today's discussion of what is happening in China: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26253886

There is not a single mention of Han Chinese immigration to Xinjiang, in either positive or negative light.

The Jews who immigrated to Israel were fleeing persecution at home and you chose to attack them. That is shameful and you should be ashamed of yourself.

All people have the right to live wherever they choose, whether they be Jews, Arabs, or any ethnicity. Singling people out based on their ethnicity ... well, that's just racist, isn't it?
Yeah, but that's a pots and kettles issue. We are commenting from our mountain about a business that has dropped into the gutter. None of the parties will change.
> Or maybe they could simply not promote any political content at all. Or even de-emphasize/throttle political content - as long as its applied evenly, across the board.

How can they do that when in today's climate "all things are political", "silence is violence", you're offending someone's free expression, how do they determine that my art is political?
I helped a major user of GCP migrate off the platform to AWS for this exact reason. Totally insane that they still do this when AWS has had a rock solid offering in the form of RDS for like 10 years now.
Quantity does have a quality all of its own...

It’s obviously possible to imagine a scenario where you have a massive number of drones, the question would be whether you could channel that into tactics that would give you an advantage. Numeric superiority is sometimes useful, and sometimes a liability.

The F-35 currently has a massive advantage over cutting edge drones - a MK I brain in control of the airframe that cannot be jammed. Its electronic warfare capabilities could create havoc for the drone swarm and deny the enemy remote sensing etc.

Until there’s actual conflict though, it’s pretty much like asking whether Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee would win in a fight :)
"(it's super cool seeing someone do a gun disarm with a cloth/scarf). "

Don't try that in real life, though. And definitely not against a person who know what he's doing. Unless you really have no choice and are about to be beheaded by Taliban or alike.

And to the technics from the Book, well, from first glance they seem to work. But the description seems very static.
"when the enemy does this, you do this - and then this and then this".

Well, doing so is a good practice to get a feel for what is possible - but never try to do that exactly in a real combat. Because a real situation is always more complex.
Nobody is ever moving like in a book. There are variations. In speed, in position and in a fraction of a second the enemy knive can move another way.
There are obstacles around you (that can also be weapons to throw or just distract). There are often other people around who complicate or ease things. There is the sun that can blind the oponent, or you, etc. etc.
> If you want tight feedback loops you have to figure out a way to reuse a Julia instance

I think Julia is meant to be used like Lisp:

- Step 1: Open the REPL.

- Step 2: Don't close it until you are finished (both writing and running your program).

My best guess is that people that complain about startup speed of Julia (and Emacs too for that matter) ignore step 2.
I was a minor foot soldier in the export control wars of the 1990s (via Switzerland too, as it happened). These rules were stupid then and are terrible now.

Americans would be less safe had foreign contributions to cryptography been kept out. In addition these export rules act as price subsidies for foreign companies (much as the recent agricultural tariffs have helped Brazilian farmers).

If you consider it a national security issue, just note that 1940s Germans had to develop everything themselves while the allies developed and swapped around technology with trans-national teams.
Elon tweeted that even if the beds were loaded the Cybertruck will still win. Seems plausible to me given the enormous torque of electric engines. But I'd love to see the battle!
My impression was that it's glue code that wraps around an existing compiler and turns it into a language server. There are piles of resources out there already on writing compilers
Your first sentence could just as well be the response to your second.
I don't know. Even though I know HTML, I'd much rather create a bullet list by putting an asterisk in front of each item than writing a bunch of <ul><li> tags.
Those that inherit it, ruthlessly protect it or try to. After all, they have no idea how to create wealth or even manage it. They have a family office for that:

There are apps like "Network Analyzer" that give you this info. (My MVNO puts me behind CGNAT, no IPv6)
Hmmm, it's a bit clickbait to make this a cpu vs gpu claim, unless there was a reason they believe that SLIDE wouldn't work on a GPU.
Not "seeing a music visualisation" (was it edited maybe?), reading braille. STM involves sticking a probe microscopically close to the thing-being-scanned, and reading how the surface's atoms deflect it. Which is very close to "literally feeling" the surface, as all "touch" is just electrons repelling each other at a distance - this is just at a slightly larger distance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

Maybe a more human-scale-friendly analogy would be "finding the hot burner by moving your hand near it". In STM, each atom is a hot burner. You can pretty accurately figure out the arrangement of burners on your stove without needing to see or touch it.
California plans just that, well sort off. I heard they will convert prime real-estate parings along best beaches into tiny house lots, top dollar beach front properties for the homeless.
Thankfully while computers are indeed picky about typos, they also gladly guess, complete and validate what you're trying to tell them if you ask politely (a.k.a. banging repeatedly on the tab key).
No, they aren't at 28nm. They're shipping 14nm at volume, have low-volume R&D yields of 7nm, and are building their own EUV process for 5nm and below.

Sanctioning and restricting China is most certainly going to be a catalyst for a rapid development of domestic advancements (including, of course, surreptitiously stealing it from other countries/companies). Anyone who thinks China won't be right with the top makers in a few short years is fooling themselves.
It doesn’t truly cost, no. What was the cost to the Iraq war, or the deregulation of Wall Street in the 90s? The public has a short memory, and few choices.

I don’t have to agree with this in order to recognize it.
At university my friend was studying police tactics dealing with football hooligans and riots in the UK - they were slowly changing their tactics from full-on horse charges and batons waving to a very tai chi style light touch. Generally speaking the moderates would get bored and go home and then leave only the hardcore, who were then easier to identify and target. The light touch is a fantastic PR tool too because it shows any gov as tolerant and open.
Ah, I assumed it was a loanword due to git's English-speaking origins. Didn't realize there was a 'native' French equivalent ("les validations"?).
That's a wonderful effort. Thanks.
In some sense — they still are, maybe more then both of us.

That kind of immortality is one of the perks of being a great artist.
Many symbols being longer only matters if they are common (and your encoding method doesn't allow you to leave affected sequences plain to avoid increasing their size), and if, moving away from UFT8-a-like encodings which might have been a bad example, you allow context beyond one symbol you can break them into pages making symbols after a page selection smaller (though the next one that requires a new page to be selected will necessarily be larger).

There are various ways you could arrange the symbol encoding and how deal with those parts of the input that can't be encoded effectively (where the encoding would increase size overall instead of decreasing it). I'm pretty sure it would work, though whether it would be truly practical (in terms of the return from making the effort) rather than just being an interesting little thought experiment is definitely a valid discussion point! The idea of a collection of preset initial dictionaries for LZ77 and similar feels much more practical than the single large reference dictionary for some other scheme.
I was able to find a used copy published in 2013 on Amazon :)
Lullaby

W. H. Auden, 1907 - 1973

Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful.

Soul and body have no bounds:
To lovers as they lie upon
Her tolerant enchanted slope
In their ordinary swoon,
Grave the vision Venus sends
Of supernatural sympathy,
Universal love and hope;
While an abstract insight wakes
Among the glaciers and the rocks
The hermit’s carnal ecstasy.

Certainty, fidelity
On the stroke of midnight pass
Like vibrations of a bell,
And fashionable madmen raise
Their pedantic boring cry:
Every farthing of the cost,
All the dreaded cards foretell,
Shall be paid, but from this night
Not a whisper, not a thought,
Not a kiss nor look be lost.

Beauty, midnight, vision dies:
Let the winds of dawn that blow
Softly round your dreaming head
Such a day of welcome show
Eye and knocking heart may bless,
Find the mortal world enough;
Noons of dryness find you fed
By the involuntary powers,
Nights of insult let you pass
Watched by every human love.
I'm glad someone finally notices that cycling paths aren't everywhere in the Netherlands, and that a lot of our streets have to juggle cars, cyclists, pedestrians and trams in less space the US uses just for cars.

IMO, the main problem to changing traffic behavior in the US is the utter lack of respect for other types of traffic, enforced not just by culture but by law.

It's so weird to me that in a country where the majority supports "responsible gun ownership" people are perfectly okay with the notion that when driving a big hunk of metal you don't have any kind of responsibility not to hit cyclists or pedestrians.
China civil code is on the way. Github, hold on!
Still a much greater hurdle for the securistas to have to surpass than if it wasn't!
I don't understand why all those product and marketing people don't form programmerless teams and cheaply outsource their initial programming needs.

This won't work for immensely complex ideas, and it won't produce award-winning code, but it'll be good enough to create a minimum viable product and see if it has traction.

If it does get any traction, THEN they can worry about finding a programming partner, and the question of what they bring to the team will be clear -- a business that has already shown traction.
No, you are totally wrong. Did you even try this in Git? Any sensible VC system will give you a conflict here. The article discusses auto-merge behaviour. You ABSOLUTELY can get auto-merge to work 100% of the time. When it doesn't you get a conflict that you need to manually resolve. BitKeeper does get this right (disclaimer: I am one of the developers of BitKeeper).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd love some solution like xpensr or texthog that lets me just email in receipts, like less everything's accounting system to reconcile everything with a book-keeper quarterly, etc etc... maybe just all these different accounting-ish systems hacked together!
It's a joke "royalty free" is a double entendre, it means both without paying a royalty charge OR without a member of the royalty present.

That said recognisable public figures who trade on their personal image have protection under trademark law for commercial use of their image (note that commercial has a broad definition wider than just "financial gain").
Yes.

And the iPhone3, Nexus One, Nexus S, Blackberry Torch, Samsung Omnia 7... and not one of them comes close to the 6 year old Panasonic DMC-FX01 that I've bashed up so much that I am willing to carry it in my jersey pocket when I go mountain biking.

In low light or fast action, smartphones fail. In ideal conditions they're adequate, but so much happens outside of ideal conditions that I'd rather have my bashed up point and shoot at hand.
They're all quite rubbish. SELinux logs violations to syslog with 'avc'. You have to actually learn that 'access vector cache' is a component of SELinux. Why not just write 'selinux' instead rather than making me learn it's shite jargon?
I don't agree. I've been ridiculously in love with a few languages over the years, but it's a passing phase. The more you get to know something the more design compromises etc you see.

No language is perfect, but Clojure is the best designed I think I've come across. I really like it, more than any other (including a few years of Python which I 'liked' at the time). It has strengths and weaknesses though, and that's expected of anything.

"Ridiculously in love with" is recruitment fluff, but I think does have the side-effect of appealing to that temporary experience, or to people prone to hyperbole.

Not pumping however many extra decibels into your ear due to the extra blocking is pretty valuable. I actually found the Shures to be more comfortable than the QC2s for long, but I found the QC3s to be more comfortable than the QC2s as well.
I was wondering why the page was giving me a headache. It looks awful on Linux + Chrome.
plasticsurgeon.com. It's a tool to open bubble wrap packaging as well as cut other hard to cut things. Highly recommended.
It's irrelevant. Saying the iPhone has been losing marketshare to Android due to any hardware specs is like saying Coca Cola was losing marketshare to Pepsi in the 80's due to Pepsi tasting better. It seems logical, but it's just not the problem. That's why New Coke was a disaster, and it's why Android will outsell iOS soon (if it's not already).

Android is gaining because of carriers. What Apple really needed to announce (and why their share price dropped when they did not) was launching on Verizon.
Very impressive, sir. I would like to learn from your ideas on how you did this efficient strategy of "lean startup" teams while being able to scale to over a thousand employees. Reading more zoho blogs soon.
I'm going to maintain that employers should look beyond a cover letter and see if the applicant's past experience indicates that they're actually relevant to the role.

> 50 of them can point to having reverse engineered our object-model in high school, why does your resume asking "what is it that you guys do again?" merit a second look.

That's an unfair comparison. One indicates, presumably, direct technical experience with your product.

Between engineer A, who has X years of relevant experience and no cover letter, versus engineer B who has Y years of irrelevant experience, but an awesome cover letter, who are you going to choose?

> But if you're random dev -- well you need to prove you're not JUST a random dev.

That's precisely what my resume does. A flattering cover letter only serves to demonstrate my B.S. skills.

Now, I'll admit that I can certainly write a cover letter which is technically relevant. I will highlight my skills in particular areas named by the job listing.

However, it's been my experience that HR looks for utter bullshit on the resume, and manager types want to hear how awesome their company is. The funny thing is, I haven't heard of most tech companies, and most tech companies have pretty bland websites which are just marketing tools and don't tell me anything relevant to working at a company as a software engineer.

I dunno, I'm wildly jaded by both sides. I openly admit that I have a bug up my ass about H.R. because I've had too many problems with them on both sides: trying to weed me out for B.S. reasons (e.g. "would you say computers are more of a job, or a hobby?"), and preventing me from interviewing qualified candidates, while sending me godawful douchebags who can't even write a for loop.
I've been approached a few times even down here in NZ. For me you would need to:

1. Be a nice interesting person I would like to work with.

2. Convince me you have something valuable to contribute while I am hacking away.

3. Have an idea that I believe in.

Probably in that order too. #2 might sound arrogant but that's partly because it is harder for me to judge business ability than it is to judge technical ability. It will also depend on whether the idea is weighted towards technology or business risk.

Good luck!
Ages ago, I had a Nokia phone with a now defunct U.S. provider called Voicestream. I could hear the callers talking before I picked the phone. Sometimes I would hear "He is not answering", but in a few occasions, I heard horrible things :-)

I don't even know how that's technically possible. I held on to long after the handset was out of fashion.
The main issue is it is not consistent with Jira, Github, and other famous services. I think these services should create a cross-editor and all other services should use it. it is really socks to use a different editor in each place
I though the lesson Tesla learned/taught was that people wanted an electric car that doesn't look like an electric car. Truck buyers' sensibilities are even more conservative than luxury sedan buyers'--aluminum frame? I dunno about that.

Seeing the truck I was immediately reminded of the original Death Track game.
'Mobile Proxies' like https://oxylabs.io/mobile-proxies (no affiliation) allow you to use large pools of mobile or domestic IPs to scrape. It's expensive, but not prohibitively so. Once you've got a mobile IP you become incredible hard to throttle, since you're behind a mobile NAT gateway.
> Given that the ADL already has outsized censorship abilities on Google and Twitter amongst other platforms

Can you explain this? I dont know what censorship ability the ADL has on Google and Twitter?
Their leadership has no vision. They don't know what to build, where they're going, or what problems they need to solve..

So they encourage these random projects hoping one of their employees will have a vision for them.

So the organization just flails around hoping to win the lottery. Each new project is a new lottery ticket.. saving the leadership from making any hard decisions.

you could still get the same look (with the "classic" theme) up until windows 7.
Android is the largest OS on the planet. Google would only ever give that up if they were going bankrupt, and you know there are companies that would buy that up in an instant and keep it running. Such as, say, Microsoft. Or Amazon.
yepyepyep! I think literally every one of my friends and me had that poster of the white Countach from Scholastic
NFC works fine with the Yubico authenticator app, IME. Using a Yubikey 4 NFC (USB A + NFC).

USB-C works fine with the Yubico authenticator app, IME. Using a Yubikey 5c.

Haven't used the lighting one, as I don't have an iPhone. Probably fine.

The one annoyance is that there's no USB-C + NFC key yet.

Edit: on my old phone I also used a USB-OTG (Micro-B male to A female) adapter with a normal Yubikey4, which worked (but was an ugly kludge).
During the 2012 election, before Tesla showed profitability, it was lumped in with other companies that were given government loans for developing "green" technologies. Many of those companies failed and most people, who did not see electric cars as viable, felt Tesla was going to join them. So, it was held as evidence of the Obama administration wasting tax payer money during a recession.

Now, Tesla is trying to sell vehicles around the traditional car dealer system. This system was setup to prevent the manufacturer from holding a monopoly on price and protect the local car dealer's investment in both inventory and services. So, Tesla is now seen as disrupting and depriving local businesses of potential sales and investment.

But, in reality, most people hate the car buying process and think it needs disruption.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing. The concepts he explains to get to the conclusion are awesome. The kinds of things that have bounced around ones head while on psychedelics, while lacking the question, let alone any answers.

I am not sure that armies and corporations are that similar in this regard. I was working at Microsoft as a blue badge when Gates retired from the position of CEO and there was effectively no change in corporate culture.

To the extent they are similar, I think there is something to be said about faith in leadership. If the workers don't trust the leaders and vice versa, that has an immediate impact in this sort of thing, but beyond that, it is the interpersonal connections that have developed that define corporate culture.

That's a good point. I guess I feel like most people, given infinite money, would still find something of value to others to do.

I'm biased as I like coding. Even if I didn't need money I'd still code my own projects.

In other words you get 20 million dollars. You quit your job, buy a house, travel the world, but eventually you'll get bored and start doing something. Writing a novel, volunteering, teaching, something that helps others. It's that something that's more than likely something you could get paid for.

I'm open to the idea that maybe many people would just do nothing of value to anyone else. I suppose looking at retired people might be a good pool of data. How many of them are doing nothing of value to anyone but themselves and their family and how many are happy and what's the correlation between the two.
