I would say China is a Newly Industrialized Country (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newly_industrialized_country, https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/newly-industrialized-co...) as they are still a developing country in transition to becoming a developed country simply because you can't group it as a developed country while it still has so many attributes of a developing country but is steadily growing toward developed country status.

I'm more relating it to my situation where my most of my grandparents passed away early due to famine and disease before my parents became adults and might have never owned a car whereas my parents have much more modern luxuries.

'object model' in Lisp has two traditional meanings. Originally data with identity is called an object. A cons cell, a vector, a string, some numbers, characters, symbols, ... all these are objects. One can reference any of them via variables, can return them from functions, give them as arguments to functions. Arguments are not copied. Function results are not copied. Etc. The JVM for example has a similar 'object model' like Lisp - thus the GLS quote: Java developers were half-way dragged to Lisp.

The second meaning is the object model in the sense of 'object oriented programming'. One of the similarities might be the use of meta-classes. Generally though CLOS isn't that near to the class-based OOP object-model of Python. CLOS uses a mixed model of classes and independent generic functions (with multiple dispatch)...

How many of those communities would have been suitable for large wind/solar/battery installations, or at least near suitable locations? The Latrobe Valley area already has a lot of the infrastructure built to accommodate the coal power plants that green energy could piggy back off, but they fought too hard and too long in favor of coal and the projects went elsewhere.

You know a snake oil salesman, clean coal was never, ever going to be real whether he realizes it or not. The false promise of clean coal probably did more to hurt those communities.
I find it really interesting (and even exciting) that Instagram stories (which have rapidly taken over Instagram) work like this: you respond by sending a private message to the poster, not by leaving a public comment.
The funny thing is one barely realizes it when one is part of the future (e.g. when using the internet to write this comment), but one also rarely realizes it when one isn't part of the future (e.g. comparing the Chinese mobile world and mobile internet infrastructure to western countries, where China is ahead for almost 2 years now).

In the years before the UK had any onshore wind, but some were wanting to start, this was a claim commonly heard in the media.

Fast forward 20 or 30 years; turbines are common, birds unaffected and all the predictors of doom are quietly back in the woodwork free of any consequences from their disingenuous bullshit.

Of course some bird species are in huge trouble - mainly, it turns out, due to the catastrophic loss of insect species thanks to our farming practices.

I really want to like this and conceptually the idea of being a simple command is appealing. That said, I feel like writing a shell script and especially their example is really really off putting. For one the flexibility it offers means people are going to use that flexibility to do weird stuff, second a shell script far too easily captures dependencies to it's environment again making things non-reproducible. If you allow people to put local paths, dependencies on local weirdnesses and so on in their build scripts they will, I've seen it happen time and again.

I didn't even use the word 'developed'. Nice try. ;)

I simply mean if you are comparing countries, you need to look at aggregate figures, such as total GDP or market size or population. If one country has lower GDP than another, you could say it is "poor" on that basis, even if per capita GDP (a dis-aggregated figure) were higher.

Taking your example, simply by population size and aggregate GDP and therefore ability to spend on military, India and China ARE stronger than Singapore.

Sure, but... I suggest that it is a trade off in which functionality is exchanged for convention and simplicity...and perhaps not for good reasons, or in a way that encourages good outcomes by default.

If I was under the impression the ASP.NET team was on the ball and agreed with the decision they were making, I'd be more prepared to run with it... but I'm not.

For example, there's an open github issue discussing the concerns people have raised about the ASP.NET team suggesting that razor pages are better than MVC.

Read it yourself and you'll be extremely familiar with the various opinions on the matter:

https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/issues/6146

This, is again, as I said before, an example of not everything that (specifically the ASP.NET team) does, being a good idea.

I take 1mg xanax up to once a day (typically every other day) and it has completely changed my life for the better. In conjunction with propranolol taken regularly (20mg twice a day, roughly), my anxiety is finally in a fairly well-controlled state. Unfortunately, getting benzo prescriptions -- even for the low dosage and frequency I'm on -- is hard and getting harder. Ordering it online is possible but rife with scams and risks. I understand that some people abuse these medications but for me they're life-saving; in cracking down on benzo prescriptions, my anxiety medication is becoming a source of anxiety in itself.

I live in either NZ, the UK or China, depending on work. None of these have a tipping culture. It's the cultural and psychological aspects that are fascinating, particularly the comments that list proof that in the US, if outlets show real prices, i.e. those that the customer will actually pay, including tax and gratuities, people go elsewhere, to outlets that give a false sense of economy.

Personally, I've found that when in the US I felt the food to be cheap, but when I pay the bill, the actual cost to be largely equivalent to other western countries. But, I still harbour the irrational feeling that the US is cheaper, even though the receipts I submit don't reflect this "feeling".

Tipping (and non listed taxes) is the 99c cost point writ large. To me it seems, all other considerations (discomfort, worker's rights, fairness, etc.) are overwhelmed by the lower price ticket.

Thoughts?
> you want two timestamps. 1 for when the row was created and 1 for when it was last updated. The upsert should change the ts_updated value, and the attempt should be logged.

If timestamps are worth recording they're worth recording in the normal way you'd record business data. Associate a timestamp with when the user made their request, not on when your server happened to process it.

> A gas station pump resets because of a blink in power. It remembers all the information about the transaction except for the uuid because the programmer was smart and wanted that to be, well, unique. And he wanted the pump to be smart and retry the failed attempt. Same txn; different uuid.

Don't do that. If it's a transaction ID, generate the ID for the transaction and keep it with the data for the transaction.

> The user hits the refresh button in the middle of the txn, but the rest of the form data is cached. Not the uuid.

Again, keep the ID with the data it goes with.

> Trusting a client to only ever retry with the same uuid is not safe. So when I say that you need a uuid in the same context, I mean the uuid created in your database when it receives an auth request, inside the SQL transaction used to create the entry for that attempt.

That's an unscalable approach. If you can afford to run everything on a single database with monotonically increasing time then sure, knock yourself out, it makes everything easier and is good enough for a lot of cases. But in these days of client-side UI, like it or not you are working on a distributed system where the client and server are separate nodes, and distributed system techniques are your best hope of getting sensible behaviour.

fakes aside, my wife bought this phone (the pro) and I have to say it has the best camera (+post processing) I've seen on a phone. My wife sucks at taking photos but with that thing they look kinda nice. Their 3 lens composite photo system seems like it actually, really helps. And their added post processing of "portrait" mode gives a nice instagramish look, It's too much for my tastes (I don't do instagram soo....) but it's interesting it does some depth-of-field stuff too (probably with the help of the 3 lenses)

The only downside is I hate the $850 price tag (I refuse to pay more than $200 on a phone...) it'll be interesting when this sort of tech trickles down in the next few years.

There was a great article I've never been able to find again about how the UI of Twitter naturally guides users into de facto bullying, and most of the advice given by experienced Twitter users (e.g. check existing replies to a tweet before adding your own) is working around UI choices made by the system itself.
> Here, you are confusing per capita and overall again. Why do labels no longer matter just because China is larger than most nations? Does per capita income no longer work the same way if the population size is larger?

What really scares people about China is that it is a developing country that does not behave like a developing country. It is actually getting better, making more right moves than not, and it is setting itself up to become a major contributor to the planet's wealth. This absolutely terrifies many in the West who had always thought China would "follow the playbook" and not become much more than a corrupt, heavily indebted "workhorse economy" where manufacturing could be easily outsourced.

> There are rich areas in many South American countries but no one would claim that these labels no longer matter for those nations just because there are some rich people or places. Why is it so different for China?

The anti-China bigotry at work here by definition must take China to be exceptional. Any rational comparison of China to other nations would conclude pretty obviously that China is still, on the whole, desperately poor. But this is not about rational analysis and it probably never was.

It's important to mention that Singularity does not cover the same functional scope as Docker, and therefore isn't a good alternative for all use cases. It's much better for some, close to useless for others.

To make it short:
- huge pro: it relies on user rights and doesn't require root, so it's easier to trust for an admin, and to use for a non-admin;
- huge con: it provides no isolation (it's not that it does a bad job at doing it: it doesn't even try, by design).

There are probably many other differences, but that's what has stroke me the most.

Don't get me wrong: I've only had positive feedback about it; it just isn't a one-to-one replacement for Docker.

> The console might output 4K but that doesn't mean the GPU inside can handle higher settings than a 1060

Which is kinda irrelevant too, since console games are highly optimized for exactly 1 graphic card & rest of the setup. You get all the details hardware is capable of smoothly, nothing more or less. No fiddling with tons of settings that most have no clue about.

I don't get this often used argument - my games look better on PC than on consoles. Yes some UI gimmicks look better, textures have higher res, but after 30 minutes of playing it really doesn't matter at all, quality of gameplay and smoothness of experience is the king. Of course if one pours 5x the amount of money into PC that would be spent on console, there needs to be some inner justification. But it still doesn't make sense to me.

This is a view of person who plays only on PC, never had any console.

I apologize for the noob question, but... is it a good idea to have the client be in charge of generating UUIDs? When dealing with idempotence, they have to be truly random, not just pseudorandom, right? I looked into this recently, and my understanding (from the cursory amount of research I did) was that the UUID generation method depends on the random number generator used by the browser, which can vary a lot.

Why not generate the UUID on the server and send it to the client along with the page request (if using SSR)? I.e. the server generates the UUID, sticks it in a database field, then sends it to the client. When the client responds with the UUID, you can check that against the database to make sure its valid.
