Just ban all Chinese students seriously. The idea that they're mostly coerced into it is farcical, they tend to be an extremely patriotic bunch. They'll always be a danger if they're here.

I'm sure the ones who were coerced into participating in the counter-protest wouldn't care enough to hop on the next plane home.

Has to be kind of disheartening, minding your own business when all of a sudden you get a knock on the door and a "request" to trample all over the civil rights of the citizens of your host country "or else."
Doesn’t it seem plausible that “orange” rather comes from Latin aurantium based on the root aurum for gold? (Gold can appear orange-colored.)
I'd say it is culture, not code. Twenty years ago, chains like California Pizza Kitchen were archtypical as noisier than average with lots of metal, glass, and other hard surfaces. It was already a cliche by then, but it wasn't the only style successfully operating.

What I've seen over the decades is those others going out of business and being replaced by either the glossy, clean style or the unfinished industrial style. Nobody is using soft materials which remind too much of our fathers' or grandfathers' banquet halls and family restaurants.

Native German speakers do not usually forget umlauts (since they are separate keys) and so Google translate won't have the necessary training data to robustly handle German without umlauts. The output appears as gibberish because the language model can't distinguish the input from gibberish.

It's valuable to someone with the right to use it where it's already installed. It doesn't seem like something that can be removed and reused, however. Perhaps there will be some sort of down-to-the-wire negotiation between Spectrum and whoever the next anointed turns out to be? "If you don't pay us the first installment on Friday, we'll start tearing out fiber on Monday!" This scenario illustrates the insanity of municipalities selling franchises that include ownership of the networks. They didn't have to do that. Since we'll never need more than fiber, they shouldn't do that ever again.
Nice idea. Why don't single-payer healthcare systems (the ones who are already enlightened, compared to the backward USA, right?) fund that research today?

If pharma geniuses couldn't make a fortune in pharma, would they work for the government on the Federal wage scale, or would they go to coding bootcamp (which they could easily thrive at, based on the biochem->coding converts I know) and go work for Facebook?

The engineering involved in shrinking the gates these days is Herculean enough that Intel's 10nm and 7nm processes are genuinely distinct processes in that sense as well.
> NIH highlights situations where engineers side with reinventing the wheel due to a belief that building technology in-house will be better, quicker and cheaper than using an existing solution

In my experience, it's more like "due to an uncontrollable urge that building technology in-house will be more fun, more interesting, more pleasing than using an existing solution" :)

...not that I'm completely innocent in this respect.
Lol tell me about the openssl version osx ships with. You have to install a 3rd party pkg manager to install a serviceable openssl pkg. not to mention the garbage bsd userland I have to immediately replace w/ coreutils in addition to the insanely busted openssl libs. Not exactly batteries included. Recognize your bias. In many (most?) cases Ubuntu matches your server env in a way OSX never will and works a OK with non-gamer hardware.

That's just scratching the surface. OSX empirically sucks for developing apps that run on Linux.
Two personal anecdotes about this.

I'm from a country with the Cyrillic alphabet, and somewhere in 2012 or so they decided to change the romanization rules. When I renewed my passport, I became e.g. VASILII MAIAKOVSKII instead of VASILIY MAYAKOVSKY. Endless grief in China. There is literally no way to certify you are you if your passport number has changed (never ever happens with Chinese ID) and your name has changed (never ever happens with Chinese names). In the end, it was so much trouble that I had to change the passport again and supply a special letter to the Consul asking to romanize my name in the old way.

I have a German friend with Ö in their name which is sometimes written by Chinese staff as "O", but in some German documents it's transcribed as "OE" so he has one bank account with O and one with OE, and of course it never works right. Also, almost no Chinese system would allow to input Ö, and a few times it changes it to "&Ouml;"...

They (and even our multi-payer system) already do. See: Public universities, NIH grants, etc.

That's a popular beginner complaint on /r/learnspanish, where I try to help people, but it's a weird fixation.

Deviating every once in a while from 1:1 dub:sub matchup is not even close to an obstacle to language learning. In fact, if anything, you hear and read two different ways to express the same thing at once.

If you depend on 1:1 matchup, I'm not sure you were consuming either dubs nor subs in a way that's all that productive to language learning. Consider relaxing and getting used to fuzzier comprehension which is necessary for transcending to conversational speed+slang.

Also, I recommend graduating to reading books ASAP to avoid languishing in the limbo of Netflix for language learning.
A much simpler solution is to leave a restaurant if it's too loud. Alas this article that talks about "how to fight back" omits these simple obvious solutions.

No... “rounding” is mostly about being able to coherently think and write, which requires structured practice to achieve competence or mastery. The median engineer is awful at both.

I do agree that the dumbing down of universities comes from universities, and the prominence and political power of nonsensical areas of study drags everyone down.

The Japanese first adapted writing from Chinese; this adapted system is called kanji and is highly similar to, and often homographic with, Chinese hanzi. However, Japanese and Chinese have very different phonological structure: Chinese is mostly comprised of monosyllabic words, whereas Japanese has lots of polysyllabic words. This makes it more difficult to do phonetic transcription in Japanese kanji than in Chinese hanzi.

The Japanese got around this by simplifying the script into a syllabary (every character represents roughly a syllable, or more often, a consonant-vowel pair). They did this twice: one of these syllabaries is hiragana, and the other is katakana. In modern usage, katakana is used largely for phonetic transcription, such as transliteration of foreign words and names, or onomatopoeia, whereas hiragana is used for writing out Japanese words.

As others have pointed out, Japanese has a rather constrained phonological system, so a word like strengths cannot be represented directly but rather more like "su-to-re-n-ge-tsu." Of course, this feature isn't limited to Japanese; it's how an island called "Christmas" gets transliterated to "Kiritimati", just like its parent "Kiribati" is the local pronunciation of "Gilbert." While people think it's annoying, it's largely because they haven't faced languages with challenging transciptions into Latin script. There's a reason why there's a plethora of transcriptions of "مُحمّد‎" after all.
Embedded Systems Weekly #80
Looking at CPUs alone is probably too narrow of a focus. AMD bet the farm on a CPU architecture, and thankfully they appear to be winning, but they don't have competitors for most Intel products: FPGAs, Optane, some of the new AI chips, etc., and consequently Intel could still win in terms of ecosystem in the eyes of the big Cloud providers.
You are missing the context completely. At the time (late 80s, early 90s) Amigas were one of the main alternative against "PCs", so nobody would have said "Amiga PC". Just like you dont say "Mac PC".
My daughter has a condition called hyperacusis[1] defined as, "an abnormal intolerance, a heightened sense of volume and physical discomfort from ordinary, everyday sounds, which other people can tolerate well."

Because of this, I have become so aware of the sheer amount of noise in everyday environments. I remember sitting in a nice, peaceful environment for twenty minutes waiting for the local coffee shop to open. Come 8am they turned on the loud, thumping music. Why, why, WHY?

Have some high fidelity ear plugs myself. The hi-fi goes a long way!

I wear them in the car, in the bus, on the train, at a loud restaurant (can still hear friends), at concerts, in the datacenter.

I never expected them to be so comfortable. It feels completely natural now to pop them in if I'm feeling like the enviornmental sounds are higher than desirable.

Facebook has over two billion users - including a likely decent number of HN users. Describing a network and userbase of that scale and complexity in such dismissive and simplistic terms is just baseless elitism.
The point though is that Coinbase is the same kind of play. And really, you don't need to be "as big as Google" to succeed in life - you just need to make your millions and get out with them.

Coinbase is a bet on the idea that there's enough crypto-enthusiasm that they can capture a small part of a lot money while it lasts.

In hindsight, sure. But it was perfect (or as close as you could get) for the time it was created.
This is really taking the Von Neumann computing device metaphor to the extreme.

Opposed to this, I'd rather suggest that there is no such thing as an active thought process (which is probably more like an illusion). Also, the concept as described in the article really fails to account for the experience of creative insight or impulse, neuroses, or "metapsychological" phenomena.

Edit: By applying the idea/concept of threaded processes (pretty much the only concept sufficiently defined in the piece), it really illustrates how much we adapted culturally to the technology we use, which, when introduced, was clearly pictured as an restrictive abstraction from how we would model such processes or how the underlying "architecture" was described by McCulloch and Pitts. (Comparatively, we might add an observation on how Freud was influenced by the then prominent technology of telephone networks on how this was reflected especially in his first topic.)
Don't worry, I detect zero irony on your part. I've been called "racist" (by family members!) for not believing the Russia fairy tale. This despite loudly proclaiming my antipathy to Trump and my opinion that a vote for anyone other than Stein or Johnson was wasted. This week our heroic investigators are reading tweets!

So, there's sort of a sliding scale of ridiculousness in racism accusations. When you say your objections are to "open borders", a ridiculous fancy that cannot possibly happen in the next decade, it's somewhat natural to wonder what you're really against...

Ditch the Venture Model – Founders Buy Out Early Investors to Make a Clear Break
I agree very much. It has always stung a nerve with me, the fact that if you are a scientist with no interest or knowledge in humanities or arts you get (rightfully) labeled an ignorant and a reductionist obsessed solely with his science; yet the reverse, if you have a background in the humanities and know nothing about science or mathematics, is somehow okay or even celebrated in certain circles. You can proudly declare you "understand nothing of that horrible complicated maths and physics". Boggles the mind. Many lawyers, artists, literature scholars, historians, philosophers, etc, simply don't mind being stuck inside a bubble and inside a myopic way to see the world. A different perspective, such as that offered by mathematics, of rigour and analysis, would do them a world of good, so as not to be stuck inside a bubble/echo chamber.
bs.

When I lived in NY I used cabs (yellow and green) all the time, if only so I didn't have to squint at license plates on crowded streets to find my phonecab, and even that was largely due to late night weekend construction to upgrade the 7 line signals.

They werent great but frankly not much worse than uber and in a city with a good subway network, where cabs and everywhere at all times, and I could drunkenly yell a cross street at a cabbie and get there in a reasonable amount of time uber is frankly unnecessary.

Uber is for suburban west coast lusers TBQH. No surprise such a shit company came out of cali.
The article doesn't succeed in presenting a good argument. There's a lot of attempts at making examples and using thought experiments but it doesn't actually present any sort of mechanism or model for the mental process involved.
That's a good default to start with, but that's not the whole story.

Every system has its own sets of constraints, and its own sets of goals. Those constraints and goals don't necessarily align with the assumptions made in the library you're using, because it's rare to have a library that does precisely what you need.

When you can't find a library that meets your needs, you have two choices: 1) roll your own solution, or 2) find a library that does something similar to what you want, and coerce the library into a form that suits your needs.

Neither are pleasant options, but I find #1 tends to give a better outcome in the long run. You know what your system constraints are, so you're in a better position to design around them.

Hmm, maybe I didn't observe that effect. First order went into effect in 1933, and second in 1942. The mine closures seem to be pretty well distributed since then, implying a healthy amount of openings and closures yearly, totaling a summed inventory of 80k mines in the states. Anyhow, ignoring mines prior to 1970, this is the pattern of distribution of mine closures:

1971 475 closures
1972 725 "
1973 692 "
1974 455 "
1975 711 "
1976 1,406 "
1977 1,248 "
1978 2,750 "
1979 5,378 "
1980 4,232 "
1981 2,901 "
1982 3,681 "
1983 2,598 "
1984 2,990 "
1985 4,401 "
1986 2,539 "
1987 1,944 "
1988 2,007 "
1989 1,855 "
1990 1,805 "
1991 1,879 "
1992 1,705 "
1993 1,425 "
1994 1,329 "
1995 1,212 "
1996 1,116 "
1997 1,013 "
1998 994 "
1999 1,151 "
2000 1,041 "
2001 1,368 "
2002 1,521 "
2003 1,450 "
2004 1,266 "
2005 1,298 "
2006 1,431 "
2007 1,465 "
2008 1,564 "
2009 1,664 "
2010 1,669 "
2011 1,894 "
2012 2,371 "
2013 2,752 "
2014 3,636 "
2015 2,622 "

So overall, a fairly steady figure. I imagine they'd go at it until a mine was played out, at least in the economic/profitability sense.
