Darn, I was hoping I could clone, compile and play tonight.
it's hard to quantify as most? (i don't even know maybe 1000 or so characters) but a lot of them do have semantic component. Sometimes it's a bit obfuscated because simplification (either the pinyin instituted by the PRC or other simplifications, like jyoyo instituted by the japanese in the 19th? century) destroyed semantic meaning by fusing roots, or totally deprecating characters and replacing with unrelated characters that sound the same.
Don't even think about it. This is one reason I felt she was better left the way she was.

Rehabilitation in India is a joke. The people attending to her neither have the knowledge not resources to cater to her.

Mental asylums and health centers in India are filled with sexual predators. They know that she can't complain about it nor would someone lend an ear if she tried to say something. Which makes her an easy target. Sexual abuse is the norm in mental health centers here.

Most mental health centers lack infrastructure, resources and fall short of trained personnel. It is a common sight to see patients chained, and thrown food at.

My first reaction when I heard the news - She was better in the forest away from the predators. I hope she gets the right sophisticated care and compassion she needs at this point of time.
I'm assuming you've already played Ultima 7. You may also want to try Martian Dreams or Savage Empire if you haven't.

The following recommendation might be unpopular: Try the now-antique Final Fantasy 7 for an RPG with an impressive, if somewhat meandering storyline, and a world seen through the lens of childlike wonder. Definitely a non-Western RPG, but about the best in that genera.

Anyway, doubt there will ever be anything like the single player Ultimas again, due more to the nature of computing and game production having moved on from a early baroque age of wonder.

Are you sure Taiwan is mostly cantonese?
Well...yes. For the most part. The ugly reality is that if a company doesn't hire a known troublemaker, they are less likely to be subject to troublemaking. If you think companies, startup or otherwise, are going to act in some altruistic compassionate way toward employees at their own risk, well, you will probably be disappointed. Like 99% of the time. Especially when most of the whining sounds very subjective to opinion, as it is here.

Why isn't it acceptable to leave in the middle of a project? If I have a very regular after-work schedule (like picking kids up from daycare), I don't understand why I shouldn't leave at exactly the same time every day. Even if that means leaving something unfinished, that I'll get back to when I get back in the morning. And I might not have anything I can "do" by leaving 30 minutes early, because I can't go home and I can't get to (regular obligation) early.

They also mention something about the CCD being "large pixel pitch" or something to that nature, to gather more light per imaging element. This would explain the size of the camera, because we know that a 10 mega-pixel camera can be small enough for a phone. Make the pixels much bigger, and the whole array much larger (instead of something the size of a pencil eraser, for instance, make it many times larger - perhaps 400mm per side or something).
They should have used that institutes data for both. I'm saying he should have been adjudicated as correct, but was abut the same as Sanders, may slightly more hyperbolic, but not enough to dock him that much.

At the very least they should have made a reference to the study that Sander's team brought up and said why it didn't apply.

The biggest issue is that this isn't an isolated incident. That fact checker routinely errors on the Dem side. If this was one of many more balanced cases this would be different.

I'm not making a judgment about whether it's economically feasible or not (as I have neither the expertise or the data to be able to figure out out), but I think part of the idea of basic income is that it would replace other forms of welfare, so the actual increase in the budget wouldn't be the full $2.5 trillion (although it would still be quite sizable).

I don't mind if they keep the connector, but unless they also add USB-C with Power Delivery support (i.e so I can charge over USB-C), it's dead in the water as far as I'm concerned.

For laptops, tablets, phones, etc - anything that's small and low powered, I'm over proprietary connectors.

This is a big deal to deprecate `createClass` and `propTypes`.

PropTypes' deprecation is not difficult to handle, but the removal of createClass means one of two things for library maintainers:

(1). They'll depend on the `create-class` shim package, or,

(2). They must now depend on an entire babel toolchain to ensure that their classes can run in ES5 environments, which is the de-facto environment that npm modules export for.

I'm concerned about (2). While we are probably due for another major shift in what npm modules export and what our new minimum browser compatibility is, the simple truth is that most authors expect to be able to skip babel transcompilation on their node_modules. So either all React component authors get on the Babel train, or they start shipping ES6 `main` entries. Either way is a little bit painful.

It's progress, no doubt, but there will be some stumbles along the way.

Hong Kong is majority Cantonese speaking. Taiwan is not, it's Mandarin (and to a lesser extent Hokkien and Hakka but most young people prefer to speak Mandarin).
exactly, so not sure whether the original assertion (i.e., most characters lack semantic meaning) is correct, but it's an interesting thought to consider.

someone could prove/disprove this by analyzing the 3000 most common chars and indicating what percentage contain a semantic component (even if obfuscated).

> You're ignoring the fact that with a public DHT, the eavesdropper has the power to reroute requests through networks (s)he can already watch.

But in the context of bittorrent that is not necessary if we're still talking about information leakage. The tracker + pex gives you the same, and more, information than watching the DHT.

> we thought of doing this very thing back when the system still used a DHT for storing routing information.

The approaches you list seem quite reasonable when you have a PoW system at your disposal.

> have each node host a 100% replica of the routing information, and have nodes arrange themselves into a K-regular graph

This is usually considered too expensive in the context of non-coin/-blockchain p2p networks because you want nodes to be able to run on embedded and other resource-constrained devices. The O(log n) node state and bootstrap cost limits are quite important. Otherwise it would be akin to asking every mobile phone to keep up to date with the full BGP route set.

> assume that no more than f of 3f+1 nodes are faulty. Otherwise, the malicious nodes will always be able to prevent the honest nodes from reaching agreement.

Of course, but for some applications that is more than good enough. If your adversary can bring enough resources to bear to take over 1/3rd of your network he might as well DoS any target he wants. So you would be facing massive disruption anyway. I mean blockchains lose some of their security guarantees too once someone manages to dominate 1/2 of the mining capacity. Same order of magnitude. It's basically the design domain "secure, up to point X".

> I'm saying that in the distributed systems space, DHTs are the new HTTP.

I can agree with that, but I think the S can be tacked on once people feel the need.

> How about an ensemble of bootstrapping mechanisms?

The things you list don't really replace the purpose of a DHT. A dht is a key-value store for many keys and a routing algorithm to find them in a distributed environment. What you listed just gives you a bunch of nodes, but no data lookup capabilities. Essentially you're listing things that could be used to bootstrap into a DHT, not replacing the next layer services provided by a DHT.
@waqf my point is that being harder to learn the written language does not mean that the language is _objectively_ inferior as a whole. There is no universal set of objective metrics to judge the value of a language, and such an assertion approaches cultural chauvinism.

Background: I work at a Fintech startup where the backend is built with Django. I have about 4 years of experience with it, and have worked on Django projects from several different industries, from education to ecommerce. I absolutely recommend that you go with Django. Your project sounds like will deal with many different types of problems, and using Django and Python will allow you to take advantage of the huge ecosystem of third-party libraries that will save you a ton of time. CMS systems like Drupal are great if your main activity is publishing content, but anything past that will leave you fighting with its internals while you should be writing business logic.
> I feel like getting to your job should be part of the job

I agree:

I put 200,000+ miles on each of three cars, mostly commuting to work. Soooo, that was a lot of money, all after tax -- buy the car, usually on time so that there was interest, pay for insurance, fuel, maintenance, tolls, parking. All those expenses should have been pre-tax money, "unreimbursed business expenses" like, say, professional text books at least long were.
For large files >1GiB a library + archive is often smaller then the archive on its own.
I mean if you really want to be loose with the type of your component's state, you can just declare its type as Object, eg.

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
state: Object;

constructor(props) {
super(props);

this.state = {
foo: 1, // no type error
};
};
}

Providing a more explicit type for the component's state is a great way to catch bugs, however. It also forces you to more clearly think through which combinations of state properties are valid. Jared Forsyth gave a good talk about this at React Conf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1po0BT7kac
The delay in shipping meant they didn't arrive until well into the school semester, meaning teachers didn't get sufficient time to play and incorporate them into the curriculum. I have also heard that due to insufficient teacher training (and play time) that a lot of them are sitting unused. Certainly some teachers are doing awesome things, and the resources and community building behind the project are great, but the realities of teaching on the ground have meant that a lot of the potential is unrealised. I say this based on hearsay and second hand information; I'm not in the UK so don't have any direct knowledge.
Alternatively, on on 3,000 nm a scaled up 64 bit CPU would actually be slower due to latency issues for many workloads than the 8086. Further a scaled down 8086 would be slower on modern transistors than a 64bit CPU on most but not all workloads so transistors are the most important difference.

Ask HN: What ATS do you use, and what good hiring practices have you developed?
Background: I'm a founder of a quickly growing VC-funded startup that's hiring for a number of technical positions

Problem: We've recently started a free trail with Jobsoid, but I'm not happy with it. When I research ATS software, there are literally hundreds of different options, and everyone has a different recommendation. At this stage, what's most important to me is being quick, easy, and accurate to import data, and being easy to keep track of the status of each candidate. Features like complex automatic sorting systems or video conferencing integration don't seem worth the extra cost at this point.

In addition: I'd love to hear good hiring practices that your company may have developed, from sourcing candidates to conducting interviews, etc.

React team is doing an amazing job. I remember when it was first announced, I thought Facebook was crazy. "JSX? That sounds like a bad joke!" I don't think I've ever been so wrong. After hearing so much about React, I eventually tried it out and I realized that JSX wasn't a big deal at all, and in fact it was actually pretty awesome.

Their migration strategy is great for larger actively developed applications. Since Facebook is actually using React, they must have a migration strategy in place for breaking changes. Since breaking anything has such a big impact on the parent company, it makes me feel like I can trust em.

Heck, most of the items in this list of changes won't surprise anyone that's been following the project. Now there's less magic (e.g. React.createClass with its autobinding and mixins), and less React-specific code in your app (e.g. react-addons-update has no reason to live as a React addon when it can clearly live as a small standalone lib).
The older I get the more I realize that language/framework decisions at many companies is a function of 1) what your existing team knows already and 2) the business requirements of your company. Furthermore I believe the goal of a founder is to solve problems with people (like fundraising, hiring, etc.) and not computers (by coding).

I'm pretty sure that would have actually been the case here, if Twitter had not initiated litigation themselves.

This was a summons, not a warrant or subpoena. I believe–but invite correction if wrong–that the summons itself does not have immediate legal force. Ignoring it would require the government to seek a court order, or drop the matter.

I'd almost wager that they had already tried, and failed, to get some sort of court order. At the very least, someone, somewhere, did their job–either a judge, or some government lawyer who refused to even try.
