Compare the nature of available forms of employment and recreation in urban areas to those in rural areas.

The outdoor options for recreation are somewhat more sparse in urban areas.

The indoor options for employment are much more sparse in rural areas. White collar jobs are overwhelmingly located in urban and suburban areas. You've got teachers and dentists and stuff like that in rural areas but those scale with population so they don't affect the proportional difference between urban/rural.
>This completely ignores the actual racism that exists

No it doesn't, but nice way to land into the left stereotype that the poster identified. Both sides can easily believe racism exists but have pretty wide gaps on how it should be addressed.

>if someone could provide me a good, clear argument against a "race-targeted policy" that also accounts for the issues that policy seeks to fix, then I'd happily agree with them (and not think they were racist).

Sure, any policies that give preference to a race that create an "equality of outcome" instead of "equality of opportunity" environment are just trying to offset racism with more racism and are inflaming divides.

Example: Stanford choosing black students over equally (or even more qualified) Asian students due to race-targeted diversity policies. This leads to Asian students doubting the black students are as qualified as them, which leaves a lot of pressure on black students to prove they are there for the right reasons.

> isn't this a little demanding and entitled?

No.

The poster shared it to HN because they want other people to look at it. Which is fine, but they're asking for our attention, and they need to respect that fact—and us—and not waste our time. Sharing a new language but making us dig around to understand one of the most fundamental things about the language—what the code looks like—does not respect us, our time, or our attention. If that's a problem, they can keep it a private repo, and not share it on HN.

Uber for now can afford to beat everyone on both those fronts

As someone who drove for both platforms, this is not true. Lyft pays drivers more than Uber in the market I was driving in.

Most drivers would abandon Uber in a heartbeat if Lyft just had more users. The problem was that for every Lyft request that came in, you'd get 10 to 20 Uber requests.
I tried RN in early 2016 but Android support and documentation were not great.

Honestly, I've always thought that RN (and similar approaches) is kinda a hack. Yes, it solves a problem of reducing developer time across platforms, but it introduces other more obscure problems. A JavaScript engine with it's own set of problems giving orders through some bridge to the native part... I don't know, it's a lot of moving pieces.

I feel Flutter is so much more solid in this respect. The approach has been used countless times by game engines such as Unity, UE, etc. The part where Google has to replicate the UI elements of each platform is not amazing, but otherwise I feel it's a much more solid approach than RN.

> Insurance for a family is now > $20K a year

[citation needed]

> Look at how many counties this would be half or more of the median pay.

Even if your $20K is a correct national average figure for family insurance costs, you can't do that and get meaningful results; insurance costs vary widely between states and localities (e.g., of ACA exchange plans, the statewide as average second lowest cost silver plan costs for states using the federal marketplace range from $459 in ND to $1,185 in WY—and the range of local rates, and/or including the states that don't use the federal exchanges, is even wider.) So you'd need to map local income against local costs to get anything meaningful.

Unfortunately, back in 2014, I contributed to an Indiegogo campaign for DreamQii PlexiDrone 8 blade drone. It has not shipped, though they've been in a state of almost shipping for about two years. Lesson learned. DreamQii raised over US$2.2 million.
The median pay in the US is also half or more of the median pay in countries with much more generous healthcare.

I live in France, which is known for its good health coverage. However, I know a few people who worked both in France and in the US, and they made more there in terms of purchasing power, even after paying all the insurance required to get at least the same level of protection we get "for free" in France.

I suppose that the situation can be different depending on your occupation. But what I am saying is that it is just a different system. Healthcare is expensive by nature: highly trained personnel, state of the art research, unforgiving safety requirements, etc... and has to be paid for in some way, be it by taxes or by private insurance companies.

We’re seeing two ways so far: the first is WebAssembly. Our tooling does not assume that you’re re-writing everything in wasm, but that you’re using it alongside JS, so you can use it only where it makes sense, and it’s easy to do so.

Second, in services. Microservice architecture means you can write parts of your applications in different languages, and we have really nice JSON handling, or whatever other format you’re using. People have moved high load services to rust and seen big gains.

Of course, there’s still lots of work to do, and there’s always compelling reasons to use other technologies too.

I think learning to code as a teen or adult is really easy if you have strong abstract reasoning skills and literacy skills. I don't teach my kids about coding, I do hit them with logic puzzles, math questions, and teach them to read. If they nail those skills (in addition to the ones the author mentions) they'll be able to pick up programming in a few weeks.

> the median global network and device are both quite slow. This means a lot of the network gains from QUIC are potentially (largely) undone by the slower hardware.

The rest of the article made reasonable points but this is a really bad argument.

The cited claim that congestion control was application limited 50% of the time used bandwidth of either 10Mbps or 50Mbps. Meanwhile, the median mobile device is on a low-end (~15th percentile) 3g connection, I would guess around 1Mbps or less; 45% of devices were on 2g in 2017 according to the author's own citation.

Background on the Japanese and Americans in WWII stranded in each other’s respective country.

Americans were pretty much able to get out of Japan after December 7th. I believe the police arrived to talk and quarantine them all, but all the reporters I know made it out on their own easily within the next month or two.

Same thing in Germany. William Shirer was reporting from Berlin as an American up until early 1942.

The Japanese Embassy in the US was arrested en-masse and put into a hotel for the duration of the war. A fun game the State Department would play is encouraging them to file requests for better conditions, equalizing their treatment with the Germans (who got better treatment since they did not surprise attack), and then rebuking them in a face to face meeting for all their requests (violates saving face norm of Japanese society).
I was in high school during the last recession so I have no idea of what to expect, but how does one take advantage of a recession?

At this point Uber and Lyft are really just taxi companies with nice apps. Add the driver reviews, GPS locations, and requesting a ride via an app to a traditional taxi system and it's the same. The only major advantage they have right now is that Uber/Lyft are standardized throughout cities and suburbs, whereas taxi companies are mostly local to one city.
VSCode is fast and it's certainly the best editor/IDE I've used since back when I was a Java dev using Eclipse back in 2006 or so.

But I recently opened up Sublime Text to compare some editor behaviour, and the difference in UI performance is astounding.

It's possible that VSCode has regressed a bit the last couple of years. It was always faster than Atom. But comparing it to Sublime shows that there are clear advantages to writing UI code in a natively compiled language. Sublime's widget drawing seems very well optimized.

VSCode has also become slower for me the last few years, simply from the load of extensions. I use the ESLint extension and the Go extension heavily, both of which parse code a lot. Neither is doing any sort of incremental parsing, so there's potentially a lot of churn. There's also some kind of indexing of symbols that happens in the background in the language server or in the extension. I sometimes have to kill the "Code Helper" process because it's sitting there consuming a whole core when idle.

Overall, VSCode is becoming increasingly closer to how I remember Atom, when I used it. I worry that it's slowly turning into Atom, performance-wise.

BeOS was largely POSIX compliant and that still failed.

I think the answer to why some platforms failed and others didn’t is a much simpler one: partly due to the aggressive business tactics from their CEO and partly due to luck.

Linux is an outlier there but I think you can substitute the CEO effect with GPL however the luck element is still relevant.

As someone who goes to China for business regularly…

I am not feeling the trade war much. It comes up in conversation— the Chinese business community is not happy and worried about the economy. Otherwise, it's business as usual.

I have zero worries that I'll be abducted on my next trip as retaliation. Granted— I'm a Swiss citizen and not a public company C-level. Generally, there's a lot of interactions between Chinese and Americans in my field, and I don't think that'll end because of the political difficulties. I'd be very worried if it did.
If it breaches the power limits I think it is illegal - same as if you used a high power wifi access point with a high gain antenna.
Depends on the attacker, but it's probably accounted for at least partially. In some passwords where I don't care much about security I'll use this technique and some personal, site-specific mnemonic - if their logo reminded me of a gerbil, I might start with the name of a pet gerbil I once had and obfuscate it with character replacement or keyboard proximity replacement (same characters, one row up or down). These passwords are always unique to the site, which doesn't get any financial info.

When I need a secure password that's easy to remember I'll obfuscate the initials of a memorable passphrase from a joke, poem, song or book. My password manager is offline (remember the LastPass hack?) so I need to read from it once and type it in.

Update: I remembered this old article that describes some of the techniques that have been used to crack passwords, including 133t-character replacement:

Because they upped the standard of what a home computer could be. In fact, in many ways that standard has yet to be surpassed.
It doesn't even have to be truly random, just "random enough". If you were to use a passphrase like "Use 5 or 6 words and the problems listed here vanish", that wouldn't be random per se, but for an attacker it might as well be.

If you're looking for the ability to switch data storage technologies, you'd do better to just make sure your data storage layer is cleanly isolated.

Sticking to 1990s SQL gives you the ability to swap among 5 or 6 different databases, all of which have been around for a day or two, none of which have seen a whole lot of change in their relative strengths and weaknesses in a good long while. It's just not super likely that you'll find a compelling reason to switch among them, especially if the people who made the original choice did their homework first.

Keeping a well-isolated data layer, on the other hand, gives you a much wider universe of things you can attainably switch to - document stores, triplestores, graph DBs, Cassandra, Hadoop/Hive, stuff that hasn't been invented yet, etc. I've lived through my fair share of database technology migrations.

So far, every single one of them has been this kind, not a SQL -> SQL migration. So, while you're at it, might as well get your money's worth out of the SQL DB.
