If it had been thoroughly explained then there wouldn't have been anomalous experimental results. I agree that it's rather likely that we're seeing experimental artefacts rather than new unexplored areas of physical law, but we must scientifically explain the results or else be very cautious, in general, when declaring something to be impossible. As the joke goes, that is well known to be the surest way in science to eventually be proven wrong. Even if it turns out these pseudoscientific dismissals were reaching the correct conclusion; well, as they say, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
The EmDrive claimed to violate conservation of momentum. To extend your analogy, instead of shining the light out the back of your spacecraft, you shined it inside the spacecraft at the back wall. It bounced around and came out as net positive thrust. Hence the extreme skepticism.

Value-add is for engineers who use React day to day already or want to use a minimal API to work to build their UI.

Don't take my word. Checkout the popularity of React, it's proliferation into the marketplace, and it's use on production environments. Also Vue is another popular alternative that UI engineers like to use, which also has SSR.
I've been curiously watching this story although, like many other folks, I realized that the chances were greater than 99% that it wouldn't work out.

What saddened me is the glee that some scientists and students took with dismantling all of these home experimenters. It was shameful to watch. What could have been a great opportunity for many to learn more about science and experimentation turned into a bunch of jackasses mocking a bunch of interested laymen. Not exactly the public image you want for your field of study.

As I understand it yes. Momentum is always meant to be conserved. Light does have momentum, but since energy has mass the loss of energy to procuce the light allows it to work out. It's also a very small amount of thrust even relative to the EM drive.

Fentanyl is extremely potent and very hard to dilute.

One particular problem is that overdoses often occur in people who are relapsing. The addict dries out for a while so their tolerance drops. Then they get a hit at the same level as they remember with maybe a little bit of extra potency, and they drop dead.

or I should trust NASA, who believed there was enough interesting things to learn there that they experimented with it on their own.

It's close, but NASA wins this round.
It's the amount of supposed thrust in addition to the violation of conservation of momentum, many orders of magnitude above pure electromagnetic propulsion. Obviously, physicists know that photons carry momentum.

Delphi 1.0 struggled as a 16-bit Windows application as the transition to 32 bit happened. The next version was considerably more stable.

Delphi was awesome through 7.0. I didn't really track it after that, but I was a Delphi programmer for several years from release onwards (happened to come from a college that taught Pascal for the first year of CS), then worked for Borland on Delphi/C++Builder for a couple of years after that.

Borland really mishandled their language stack by alienating all the grassroots. Nothing against the later owners, but Delphi's pricing became absurdly tilted towards legacy enterprise projects.

Lazarus was mentioned earlier. Think they're fully compatible with the 7.0 state of things, which was decent. It's worth checking out for project prototyping, etc.

Agreed. Science is hard, especially without funding...but amateurs do contribute to science. This is most noted in astronomy.
I had this thought too. It sounds, just from those couple sentences in the article, like the things people are being denied are only expensive luxuries. Which, if you're in debt, you probably shouldn't be spending money on anyway and it might even help to have an outside party keep you in check while you get your finances back on track.

I think the big question to ask is whether these policies are geared to pressure/aid people in getting into a better financial situation, or whether they're geared to permanently punish people who got into a bad situation in the first place. The part mentioned above sounds like it could be the former, but:

"...the system needs to be improved so 'discredited people become bankrupt.'"

Sounds pretty condemningly like the latter.

The Chinese have a long memory of the effect that widespread drug addiction has on a nation and a people. It wasn't until Mao that the issue was addressed, and they were actually quite effective:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_opium_in_China#Unde...

>The Mao Zedong government is generally credited with eradicating both consumption and production of opium during the 1950s using unrestrained repression and social reform.[9][10] Ten million addicts were forced into compulsory treatment, dealers were executed, and opium-producing regions were planted with new crops.

I have my doubts that the West will be able to adequately deal with the issue. They don't seem to have the stomach for it.
Reading isn't actually the main issue, response visibility is; the official account creates a virtual forum by the way Twitter operates, and blocking by viewpoint prevents certain viewpoints from being expressed within that government-created forum.

The government can't create a public forum and then control what views are expressed in that forum.

On top of that, WHY would you even use React (a framework designed for dynamic web apps) for a static website? The only reason I know of is because developers want to look hip. Please tell me if I am completely missing something you know.

Now this is a salient point, I think. We train ourselves to whip out our phones when there's even a minute of "unusable" time. We use our phones while waiting in line, while on the bus, while on the toilet, etc. We condition ourselves that you respond to being a little bit bored by pulling out your phone.

And so, if you're a little bit bored while talking to someone? Oops, you've just pulled out your phone.

I do that. I catch myself doing it, though, and sheepishly put it away, pretending I was just checking the time. It requires a bit of self-awareness, though, and that decreases when people are tired and under stress. I would expect that people who would previously just be "zoning out" are now "phoning out."

(On the other hand, you know what seems to be a novel piece of social etiquette that I entirely approve of? People whipping out their phones while eating. Not while waiting for their food—while actually putting the food in their mouths. There's seemingly no longer a social norm about "not talking with your mouth full", so people try to carry on a conversation while also getting food stuffed into their food-holes, and neither one goes as well. Presenting yourself as slightly distracted [by, say, an "interesting" article on your phone] decreases the social pressure on everyone else to talk. It's a social-engineering "hack", that seems to be rapidly approaching an established convention.)
Fentanyl analogues are not a problem in China, hence the relative slowness in cracking down on them.

History suggests they will be. China happily exported and exports Ketamine, and are now dealing with a massive problem of heavy Ketamine addicts. It’s gotten so bad that they’ve lobbied internationally to sanction ketamine, which ran into a brick wall for good reasons.1

1 Ketamine is the only general anesthetic that doesn’t require loads of training and respiratory support to use, and as such is on the WHO lost of essentials.

As technologists, we have to acknowledge responsibility for the effects our inventions have on society. We wield an immensely powerful set of tools with a uniquely broad reach. We have a duty to build a better world, rather than just chasing engagement metrics.

We can only deal with that responsibility if we think deeply about the human instincts, urges and needs that our technology interacts with. We need to reflect on the strengths and vulnerabilities of the mammalian brain. We cannot be glib or facile, we cannot just say "put your phone down", we cannot just blame the users or a handful of huge multinationals. We need to ask ourselves honestly whether we are making salad or junk food, whether we are making medicine or cigarettes. We need to ask that question often - when we are planning an MVP, when we are adding a feature, when we are gamifying a metric. Is this function call exploitative? Does this for loop enrich the world?

I agreed with that:

>>if you consider Twitter[1] a public square (as the court does), and thus you can't stop people from "petitioning the government" through it, then it's a double-edged sword: they must also protect the same speech that would be protected in a public square.

Do you understand the difference between "A implies B" and "A is true"? I was saying the former. I agree with you that the latter is false (where A="The first amendment applies to Twitter).

Can you help me to find the part of my original comment that made the above unclear?

These are very different topics from the original one under discussion, and much more complex. I don't know why it should matter to you what I think about this, but since you asked, no, I don't think the increased cost of aircraft is bad. Aviation is a very environmentally destructive pastime, so high barriers to entry are a good thing.

As to your second question, liability concerns and government regulations certainly add a lot to the cost of an airplane. But the flip side of that is that modern airplanes tend to be pretty darn safe. As a pilot, I think that's a good thing too.
I know you're arguing in good faith, but I think you're wrong and socialist_coder is right.

Maybe this is a different way to look at it: have you seen parents at the bus stop, say, playing on their phones and not paying attention to their kids? (I say "their" but this is almost every parent, some time or other.) That's new behavior that didn't exist before smartphones, because it couldn't. Maybe those people were just as bad at parenting 25 years ago, but their bad parenting wasn't enabled and encouraged nearly as much -- the technology just wasn't there.

I agree that "time spent on smartphone" is a very blunt metric -- any single easily-measurable number would be. But I also think it's a relatively good one. At least in the same ballpark as "time spent watching TV". Sure, what you watch on TV is relevant, but if you watch TV for 8 hours a day, that's very likely to be unhealthy.

For my performance book, I looked at some sample code for converting public transport data in CSV format to an embedded SQLite DB for use on mobile. A little bit of data optimization took the time from 22 minutes to under a second, or ~1000x, for well over 100MB of Source data.

The target data went fro almost 200MB of SQLite to 7MB of binary that could just be mapped into memory. Oh, and lookup on the device also became 1000x faster.

There is a LOT of that sort of stuff out there, our “standard” approaches are often highly inappropriate for a wide variety of problems.

"much worse" sounds a bit hyperbolic. Lets assume it would be not as good though, at least at first. It's a little conceited for them to believe they are going to be the best at all things to all people. Letting it out of the nest has greater future potential for wider integration and features in the long run. Maybe Eclipse project or Redhat will eventually do the right by the language..

I don't mind them doing this either. I just find the thinking outmoded, and I also don't mind just not using Kotlin. And to clarify, it's not just the decision to not support language server protocol at this time; it's their reaction to the mere suggestion of it. The language steering is too coupled to the biz IMHO. For what it's worth, I feel the same way about F# and the Visual F# Power Tools team and is the prior experience that raises the red flag.

A docking station usually has a lot more than just USB ports. Mine has three monitor connections, more USB ports than the laptop itself, a power connection, and an RJ-45 jack. One of the benefits is the expanded number of connectors. Another benefit is that I don't have to unplug half a dozen items to take the laptop with me; I just hit the eject button and pick the laptop up. In the same way, reconnecting all that stuff is achieved by just plopping the laptop onto the dock.

Best of both worlds: Portability of the laptop itself, and the easy expansion of the laptop's capabilities in situations where the expansion is useful (e.g. somewhere that I can keep a bunch of big monitors, and would benefit from a non-mobile work area).
