According to Julian Evans-Pritchard, an economist at Capital Economics in Singapore, the severe fall in exports largely reflected changes in the timing of the Lunar Year in China this year.

"In 2015, the holiday fell unusually late which meant that more of the pre-holiday rush to meet orders and less of the post holiday disruptions took place in February, causing exports to jump 48.9 percent year-on-year," he said.

"""
Yes, it reeks of immaturity.
Title is misleading. From the second line of article:

Exports dropped sharply by 25.4% from a year earlier

I'm not sure about anyone else, but "exports plunge 25% in February" makes me think that it plunged 25% from January to February.

I don't know whether you're talking about a 6x development speed differential or a 6x performance difference between Rust and Go HTTP stacks or what, but I am pretty sure that by making up numbers like that you're language warring for no reason.
Every time some link or headline reads "now UTF-8 by default", the only reasonable response in 2016 is "about time".
You couldn't do a textual diff, but you could do a binary diff, and storing a bunch of binary deltas could save you a ton of space when you have lots of large, frequently changing binaries to store. Further, you'd have all the other benefits of version control, such as versioning, accountability, comments/logging, etc.
Better handling of Unicode is inevitably how Python3 kills Python2. Also it's a good reason to have not supported Python2.

Aside from Unicode, I don't like some of the other changes. The overkill on the "one obvious way" bugs me in particular, e.g. the removal of reduce as a core function.

The existence of "one obvious way" isn't set in stone. It depends on context, and it's like the language developers didn't realize that when making their decision.

> two classes of people

There are three. There are also those who can buy in bulk for multiple months.

"And the poor often can't afford to do that — to pay $24 for a 30-pack instead of $5 for a four-pack. Then, because they can't stock up, they can't afford to wait until the next sale comes around."

30/4 = 7.5. i.e. implying a multi month purchase. Also "the next sale comes around": at least by me sales are on a multi month schedule, not a monthly schedule.

> If you could point at the paragraph which led you to believe it implied the poor were unable to afford bulk purchases due to "wasting" their money, that'd be great.

That's just it - I don't think she realized she said that. It would not be in keeping with the rest of what she wrote.

And yet, her advice to stores to have sales "at the start of the month" does in fact imply that. I assume it was inadvertent, but I called attention to it because she did write it.

I think she would have preferred to advise stores to have sales on a monthly schedule instead of a multi-month schedule. That would be more in line with the rest of her article.

(Convincing stores to do that would be tough - they would have to stock medium quantities of many items, instead of large quantities of a few. That hurts their purchasing power and increases their labor costs.)

I prefer flattening because enumeration makes it obvious what's different between the branches despite the code duplication.

For example, three boolean conditions has 2^3 = 8 possible combinations. When nested this complexity is hidden but obviously apparent as a code smell when flattened.

It also echoes Python's ethos that flat is better than nested.

My point isn't whether she broke a rule or not - she did, and deserves the ban. My point is no one has actually been caught taking advantage of the assistance from a motor during competition, and there are doubts as to it's true efficacy. It isn't just additive free watts, the type of "pedal assist" you get with top end bikes hasn't been miniaturized enough (to the known world) to be hidden, with a hidden battery. Look at the top end Bosch based e-bikes out there, it's a different world completely. These are more like if you can't put out X watts already, it will give it to you, not stack it on your existing high power. They can make a non-athlete get through a difficult section of terrain, but no one's seen anything that can augment a 1200+ watt attack enough to make it worth the risk in a ProTour race.

I firmly believe the tech WILL catch up that can do just that but it's not there, or if it is, it's being developed in relative secrecy. That just doesn't make any sense to me. Who is investing R&D money into this? For what return? They aren't getting prize money, sponsorship kickbacks.. the whole sport of pro cycling is dying financially without help from any external source. It's a very dated sponsorship model and races are drying up all over the world.

Learning just about any complex human activity results in obvious sustained improvements, for someone who cares and puts sustained effort into deliberate practice. If we leave out math and reading, we still have: woodcarving, dance, painting, rock climbing, gymnastics, sketching, football/soccer, cooking, chess, pottery, poker, speaking any foreign language, computer programming, graphic design, designing and building electronic gadgets, basket weaving, karate, public speaking, embroidery, juggling, mechanical engineering, and on and on for as long a list as you want...

I’ll agree, however, that music is an essential part of human cultural heritage, and every person should be given the chance to learn to play an instrument. Just as every person should at least a little bit learn how to cook, and to sing, and to dance, and to juggle, and to sew, and to program computers, and to write mathematical proofs, and to build wooden furniture, etc...

I think the great-grandparent poster was talking about something different though. Not teaching a child to play an instrument for a year or two to delight in music’s intrinsic value and then optionally continuing it if the child expresses interest, but ramming rigorous lessons down a child’s throat, forcing the child to spend years in training that he or she thinks is boring or a waste of time.

I've run tor exit nodes and repo hosting when I worked for ISPs and Datacenters while at the same time shuting customers down who do the same. The difference being that I had that conversation with my boss and said, 'this will violate our normal terms of service but I would like to do this.' The boss is of course more willing to make that concession when he can walk down the hall and say, 'uh, we have extremely high usage and today, can you shut down the repos until we can get another link installed?'
The State of Speciality Coffee – Part 1: The Lull
That was baseless posturing. A famous study and its follow-up found that the utilities on GNU/Linux are more robust, and that was twenty years ago:

ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/paradyn/technical_papers/fuzz-revisited.pdf [1995]

"This study parallels our 1990 study (that tested only the basic UNIX utilities); all systems that we compared between 1990 and 1995 noticeably improved in reliability, but still had significant rates of failure. The reliability of the
basic utilities from GNU and Linux were noticeably better than those of the commercial systems."

I doubt there has been much improvement in those commercial Unixes; they are basically dead. (What would be the business case for fixing something in userland utility on commerical Unix?)

The maintainers of the free BSD's have been carrying that torch, but they don't believe in features.

Stepping into a BSD variant is like a trip back to the 1980's. Not exactly the real 1980's, but a parallel 1980's in which Unix is more robust---but the features are all rolled back, so it's just about as unpleasant to use.

Do you have kids in school? Because I do, in a highly valued school district (all 3 elementary schools in the top 20 in CA).

In this district it's two things:

1. Parents freak out when their kids don't have a lot of homework. How do I know? One teacher told me they got complaints if they assigned too little homework, and complaints = being fired.

2. Fear of not being good enough to complete in the rat race. This is on the part of parents and it drives #1.

I had long discussions with the principal of my son's middle school and I could tell he was completely powerless to make any changes. His job was to listen to me and make me feel heard. Problem was, I wanted action. I made my son update a spreadsheet, daily, of his homework per class. Estimated time to finish and actual time. It was a lot of data and when I delivered it to the principal he was a little speechless. He said he'd get back to me.

Btw, the spreadsheet proved one thing: the official amount of homework per day was complete bullshit. Officially it was 1.5 hours. In reality it was 3-4.

Weeks later I saw him at a school concert. He looked annoyed. He thanked me and said it was a "big help" and I could tell he thought he had more power than he did. He probably showed it to the superintendent of the district and they laid down the law. I never heard another word.

The problem is institutional, massively reinforced by the parents.

So we could ask, why are parents like this? One I touched on. The other is fear of what their kids will get into if they have free time away from home. I shit you not, I never see kids out and about in my city. On weekends, a little. During the week, never. Kids don't have free time (here) anymore. They have school. Some have sports and activities. The rest is eating and sleeping.

It is complete craziness and I hate it and I feel terrible for my kid, but I can't afford private school and we're locked into this until he's out of this particular system.
In France, in the suburbs yes they did. And apparently they still do. You know the place CNN says it is unsafe to go to.

8h/weeks, 1h homework. Extra activities on 'spare time'. Extra homeworks for those who wishes to compete with elite/private schools on national exams while being substantially given less teachers, less rooms, less credits worse appreciation in a so called meritocratic egalitarian system.

This WAS SPARTA!

This how I was raised. And I wish that to no kids on earth.

EDIT: the idea you got it tough in life will makes you stronger and more likely to succeed is a plain big lie given by the one with a silver spoon in their mouth to divert the attention from their case. The first part is true : you get stronger. The success part is false. Success is mainly a game that is based on rigged randomness.

Thank you! :)

1) Honestly, it never occurred to me to not go through with it, even when I was nervous. :) I guess I was just really pulled in by the beauty and drama of it. As I wrote in the article, there were many people who didn't go through with their first appointment, so the secretive appointment was certainly a filter. Whether it was a negative filter, I couldn't say.

2) My partner had a descendant who tried to steal one of the books from the library, hahahaha. He got chased down by one of the Nonchalance employees.

Java's increase is most likely due to Android.

It's the defacto language to learn at the university level. And many large companies use it on the backend (Google and Amazon). Small companies who outsource to cheap labor overseas will probably have their work done in Java on the server-side (though this is changing).

Not surprising at all to me.
That's an especially ironic argument to try to make on this particular site.
This is really awesome. This is a taste of the fruits of Neovim's development. While my experience with performance in Electron-based editors has largely been poor, the fact that _real vim_ can now be plugged into other editor experiments makes me _very_ excited for the future of editors.
Hi. I really like your service. It's a great idea! Will I be able to search based on the social activity of my photos too, or do you just import the photos alone?
First of all, I love this.

One nagging thing in my mind, though, is how easy it seems it would be for a Three-Letter Agency to backdoor LE to pieces. Then again, I guess that's nearly just as true for any CA out there.

(I don't mean to pooh-pooh this useful service! And, if there's any interloper-mitigation going on that I don't know about, I'd be happily put straight!)
Yes, the math says so. Have a look at the video I posted above though. While E-assist bikes can do this, these hidden motor versions just don't in the real world, for racers. I do believe it will, at some point, I just don't think it's there yet. There's just no money in developing it right now.

Still a great language though.
I'll try to answer your last question ("why do gravitons interact with quarks") and the implicit one ("why hasn't anyone seen a graviton?") as well.

You yourself are a pile of mostly quarks (and gluons) whose behaviour with respect to the surface of the Earth is extremely well described by General Relativity. There are plenty of large astrophysical objects which are mainly quarks-and-gluons and they follow General Relativity (GR) exactly.

The non-gravitational behaviour of all these objects is (within measurability) exactly described by the Standard Model, and if we divide them up into constituent parts -- right down to subatomic particles -- the description remains accurate. The description of the gravitational behaviour of these objects should also continue as we divide them into ever smaller parts. Quarks feel all four fundamental forces, so they must interact with the respective force carriers.

Gauge bosons are exchanged between elementary particles in a gauge theory (like the Standard Model), and carry the fundamental forces. Gravitons are directly comparable with photons, which mediate the other long range fundamental force; both should be massless because they are long-range. Classical light waves have spin-0 symmetry, and photons are spin-0; classical gravitational gravitational waves have spin-2 symmetry, so a quantization of them must preserve that.

The simplest graviton extension to the Standard Model works very well when gravitational effects are weak, but fails when gravitational effects are strong, largely because gravitons are self-interacting (unlike photons, at least at tree level).

This seen in classical theories: the Maxwell equations are linear; the Einstein Field Equations are not.

Schrödinger's equation is linear; quantum gravitational equations almost certainly will not be.

Weinberg's dimensional power counting of Feynman diagrams works for renormalizing field content described by Schrödinger's equation; that approach doesn't work for the gravitational field content for diagrams with more than one loop of gravitons.

Directly detecting an individual graviton will be difficult; you're interacting with enormous numbers of gravitational waves (even more than the number of light waves you are interacting with), but unlike the photon, the individual effect of each graviton is too weak to detect with anything close to current technology. (see for example http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0601043 )

Finally, we might arrive at another theory of gravity that doesn't have gravitons, although that would be a surprising result.
I was a college student within the last decade and I wouldn't trust college students with $5. I'd much rather give that money to someone who says he wants money for drugs. Or I'd give them money but I'd not have any expectation of getting it back. A loan that is not. Also if they're friends, loaning money to friends is one of the easiest way to lose friends.

Unrelated, but I seriously doubt you could eat for three months for $100 at Costco unless you subsist on bulk oatmeal and other dry food.
Then the commercial systems must have been horrible. Take a look at GNU code, then at plan 9 code. Combine a few GNU core utils, and you have more code than the whole plan 9 kernel. Granted Plan 9 came out a little passed 1990.

MDMA, cocaine, and heroin are frequently cut with other substances. But that's less of an issue with the other 500+ drugs on the site, especially since many of them are legal to begin with. The moderators also triage out questionable reports that seem suspiciously atypical.

The ambiguity actually arguably makes the site more rigorous though rather than less, given that the goal is present a bunch of different scenarios that may or may not happen to any individual.

As far as I can tell, the best thing is to try to change the hearts and minds of the people around you. I don't have kids yet, and I'm not particularly optimistic that any of my friends, family, or community who will have kids at a similar time as me will agree with me about these sorts of things, but I plan to advocate for my perspective nonetheless!

That's great, everybody should use whatever licenses they like, but you're implying that people who don't choose the GPL do it purely from 'pragmatism'. There are plenty of people who choose non-GPL licenses for philosophical and idealistic reasons, and plenty of people who choose the GPL for purely pragmatic business reasons. Your preferences here don't make you any more idealistic or high-minded than anyone else. No one has a moral high ground in the open source world, as much as some people would like to think they do.

I think no homework has the same pro/cons than universal basic income.

When I was a kid (at a Montessori school — no homework) I used my free time to learn programming, tinker with chemistry kits, and read while my public school friends toiled away at homework.

I guess that other kids could squander their free time in pointless gaming or Internet browsing, but there will be a few (or ALL of them, if you buy Maria Montessori's thoughts on the matter) that will use their free unstructured time to learn something interesting to them.
