I meant types with constraints, like this one: sum :: Num a => [a] -> a The type variable a is constrained to have implementation of interface Num (integer constant (0), addition, subtraction, etc).

These constraints can be much deeper. For example, I can define a function that allow me to add two somethings if their "regions" (a property I know how to compute) is equal and the result will be produced in "region" of first argument: add :: (Region a ~ Region b, Region a ~ Region c) => a -> b -> c

One use of something similar is addition of integer values represented by bit vectors in Verilog - you should not add bit vectors from different clock domains, otherwise you get unpredictable results.

So you are stating that the reverse interpretation where Obama spread lies and falsehoods, and smears his opponents while Trump was merely informing the public of truths is objectively just as valid as the opposite?

Just because something is political and not neutral does not mean that there are no facts associated with it. We may disagree on them, debate them, but to take the stance that there are none at all is the kind of tactic used by people who do not wish to debate the actual validity of their viewpoints.

> but why not make the UI native for each platform?

As a developer I prefer web tech for UIs, because it's actually a nice toolkit to work with, and has great tooling.

I can easily debug and live edit the UI with DevTools. OTOH in Xcode's constraint-based layout I struggle to even move buttons around (if I fail to update all constraints right, the whole layout collapses). On Windows I don't even know which of the many UI frameworks is the least deprecated this year.
Letting more opinion based question in stack overflow sounds like a nice idea but in the end it doesnt work out because of the conflicting goals problem john skeet talked about. Answers that just recommend a 3rd party library optimize for solving the immediate problem an answerer is having asap but they don't work very well at creating a long lasting resource and they also give answerers a hard time. Opinion questions can get outdated very quickly and it is hard to tell if you come from a google search if the answers are still applicable. They also don't work well with the site format because you cant summarize the solution into one accepted answer. Instead, you get hundreds of tiny small disconnected answers, which cant really be edited to consolidate or keep them up to date, and no room for discussions (SO comments don't work well for long discussions)

This might be what you meant originally, but either way, I think there's an important moral there: sometimes, the SO rules encourage people to ask good questions, and sometimes, in formulating a good question, the rules encourage good debugging/distillation skills, and askers end up solving their problem on the way!

Ironically, a lot of Quora answers still pop up on HN/Reddit to this day as being gems of high quality answers and opinions from experts. Most of the SO answers that pop up in these same forums of the same quality have been archived as being off topic but historically significant.

i.e. these high quality but subjective answers are still being created on Quora, but not SO. That strikes me as being a problem for SO.
I agree, but it's a better reason than most excuses to pollute which tend to boil down to "because I want to". At least airlines are working (slowly) to fix the problem.
The most worrying trend I note is how closely China and the West are when it comes to the use of AI and data collection for the manipulation and control of the masses.

The financial system is different. In the West, there's no central authority requesting what needs to be done, but small and big companies are allowed to go crazy with user data, as long as they provide access to government agencies too. In China, the whole thing is managed by governmental entities, but it functions strikingly similar. The Chinese also lack a lot of the tact and PR management that western companies are so good at - but the differences aren't that big in the surveilance.
One other key difference is that the Chinese aren't afraid to prosecute people based on that data, while in the West we still have some due process, but the future plans aren't looking good.
There is a reason, which is mainly a total loss of trust in the companies and institutions which would otherwise allay people’s fears. A lot of people also object to GMO, not for some crystsl-gripping reason, but because they don’t trust companies patenting genes and plants.

The free money is the subsidy that is the reason usually avowed for anti-dumping tariffs. Choosing to mothball a plant is a choice, not something that automatically happens if some other country chooses to subsidise one of their industries.

Sure, in the general case, but I don't think we are debating the general case, at least I wasn't. If this other country just had a ton of useless money laying around and felt particular altruistic wanting to provide cheap steel to the entire world, nice of them. Also people would probably not be too worried about imposing tariffs.

But that is not really the case that people worry about, they worry about countries subsidizing goods to hurt or even destroy your industry and making you dependent on them even if prices rise above what you own industry was able to provide before. Unless you are willing to accept this or at least take the risk of this happening, you now have a link.

If the price difference is small enough, tariffs will equalize the difference and you might not actually collect that much money from them because buying from the local industry does not cost more. If the difference is large enough, you might decide to capture part of it with tariffs and use that to mothball your plants as protective measures and still profit from the additional difference.

Also note that I am assuming that production costs are comparable before any subsidies and that there are no other strategic interests for maintaining an industry locally which of course will change the equation again. Even if that other country can legitimately produce steel at a better price than you, say because it has a lot of easy to mine iron ore, you might still put a price sticker on becoming dependent on that country. If you consider the relation potentially unstable, then you might not want to put all your eggs in that basket.

We accept them because the mainstream narrative does not make a big issue of it. On the other side, we make a big deal when there is a measles death, calling for death of anti-vaxxers, because the mainstream narrative suggests so...

In other words, the public, including the people here. is a bunch of morons who won't jump away from the path of a slow moving road roller, unless the mainstream narrative tells us to do so...

As for who decides the main stream narrative, I would say the ones with the most resources...

I'm generally interested in the history of architecture of this small part of the world where I currently live (a country in Eastern Europe) and as such I remember reading an architect's memoir about how in the 1940s his architect teacher used to be run off with stones or worse by engineers and construction workers when said older architect would approach a construction site with "new design ideas".

It's much less funny when one knows that one such "star architect" back from that time (George Matei Cantacuzino for those interested, here's his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Matei_Cantacuzino) was in charge of designing the Carlton building in downtown Bucharest. Only 4 years had passed since the building had been finalized when it collapsed as a result of the November 1940 earthquake. Cantacuzino himself had an apartment in that building but fortunately for him he was out the evening when the earthquake happened so he escaped. He risked prison-time after the whole ordeal, but then we got into war with the Soviets (not such a bright idea) and nothing came out of it. Here's the wiki page for that Carlton building: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocul_Carlton (it's in Romanian, but it has photos with the building itself and the earthquake's aftermath).

Point is I'm sure that the architects can very well handle a small joke as long as they're aware that people's lives depend on their work.
g (9.8 m/s^2) is an acceleration, not a speed. It's right there in the units. The actual terminal velocity of an object is meet when its wind resistance -- which is a force (acceleration with mass) with negative magnitude -- matches g. Until then, it will accelerate.

So, generally, the larger the surface-area-to-mass ratio of an object, the lower its terminal velocity. Aerodynamics also plays a part, of course. So, a lead feather will have a much higher terminal velocity than a real feather, due to the extra mass that the wind resistance is fighting against. Meanwhile, g is an acceleration so it affects all mass equally.

Here's a really cool video of a feather and bowling ball falling in vacuum together:

https://youtu.be/frZ9dN_ATew

Since aircraft rely on lift, which is also a force, to overcome gravity, minimizing weight is ideal. Gravity will affect all the mass equally. But the same lift force with double the mass will only be half as effective.

my feeling is that you're talking about questions that do seem clear to you and I'm talking about questions that don't seem clear to me.

"How do I parse x from some text my code is (pile of code)"

"you could do y approach (code with example test) but it might break in z condition will you have z condition?"

"I'm trying to get a result from this"

"Well if you'd said so there's a built in way to do that directly exasperated"

Is that "not answering the core question"?

That, I feel, leads to "why are you doing this?" style comments.

History does not repeat itself but it rhymes.

Strong rhymes from the 80's and 90's when Japan was the boogieman. Replace Japan with China to update into the present moment.

1) Fear of Japanese AI was real in the 80's. The fifth generation computers (massive parallelism with prolog programs)[1].

2) Fear of Japanese buying the rest of the world [2] and unfair trade tactics.

3) Trump attacking Japan for trade and considering a presidential run with trade war and tariffs [3].

4) The war with Japan is inevitable [4].

5) Under all this Japan had 'demographic time bomb' and real estate boom reaching the maximum.

China will undoubtedly face many of the same problems as Japan did, but the scales are different (both time and magnitude). China has still at least two decades to go. The country is still undergoing urbanization and has to fit over 100 million people into cities. While Chinese growth can't be as high as in last decades, their growth will still outpace the West for a long time.

It's very unlikely that China just fizzles and stays paralyzed for more than a decade like Japan did. Either Chinese solve their problems or the problems will destabilize China internally.

I didn't, but I'm wondering if you maybe misunderstood it – that was specifically about implementing the app in what the author describes as a 'game-like' manner, using an SDL library from Rust.

In contrast, platform-native UI frameworks are absolutely optimised for things like this. There's definitely no difficulty in using hotkeys or windowing functions in Appkit, for example.

Although not explicitly what the report is focussed on, this resurfaces my, perhaps mislead, hope that AI will be the field to prove that the Chinese style of eduation will prove unfruitful. As someone attempting to work in this field right now I intepret it as something that although on the surface is highly mathematical/statistical at its base still rests on critical thinking and creativity.

The latter attribute, creativity, is something I have always thought was necessary to foster with freedom in thought and expression, two things I see incompatible with the authoritarian system currently in place in China. Maybe I'm naive and romantic about the Canadian/Western style of education and China will inevitablly dominate AI through force of will. However, my personal experience working with it, and experimenting with improvement in my own small corner of applied science tells me otherwise.

Would be very curious to hear others thoughts on this, perhaps from people further along than I (still a lowly undergrad).

Edit: I don't want my comment on math to imply that there is no creativity within mathematics. I've gone through too many heavy math courses to believe that. I'm instead trying to say that there is a place, even beyond mathematics, for creativity and intuition, where you don't need the mathematical understanding to build something novel.
My point is that alphabet is still 1 company. Standard Oil was broken up into many different companies.

Alphabet wasn't broken up. It is 1 company. There is a difference between reorganization within 1 company and breaking up a company into separate companies. Not sure how else I can explain it.

Standard Oil was broken up into separate companies - which eventually become exxon,amaco,mobile,chevron,etc. Alphabet just reorganized their corporate structure. Meaning after the reorganization, google, youtube, deepmind, etc remained part of alphabet. Exxon, Amaco, Mobile, chevron, etc were not part of standard oil after the break up.

I spent a year abroad studying in Japan with a group of 10 westerners. At the beginning of the year some people were apprehensive when they learned about the word 'gaijin'. By the end of the year every member of the group used 'gaijin' in their regular conversation.

This was far outside of Tokyo and seeing a 'gaijin' was a genuinely rare occurrence. More than anything the word seems to fit a real communicative need. "I had an interaction with someone that was different from the norm because they did not look Japanese" is quite a mouthful and invoking the word 'gaijin' starts to happen quite naturally.

My biggest problem with the word is that it is used sloppily. It conflates race, culture, language and nationality and assumes a kind of all or nothing approach to them. My black student who was born and raised in Japan fulfilled 3 out of those 4 categories but would be considered gaijin everywhere he went.
That's a pretty big exaggeration. Taken from the first GPU review I looked at, a GTX 1070 Ti can run DOOM (the new one) at ultra settings at 170 FPS. [1] Sure that's a bit faster than an average gamer's card, and DOOM is better optimized than many games. But the most powerful hardware running a decade old game at low settings will easily get several hundred FPS. (It's hard to find benchmarks of this, though, so I settled for a recent game at Max quality).

The counterexample is games which were designed for fixed 30fps which fall apart at higher framerates, but those are generally limited to Bethesda games and Japanese console ports.
