The big problem with 5.0 is that it's not actually ready and they are shipping because of Wordcamp.

There are 152 open issues that they conveniently allocated 1 to 5.0, 28 to 5.0.1 and the rest to future point releases. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/06/5-0-gutenberg-sta...

The introduction of Gutenberg is a huge change and yes if you've been following the development, you're probably ready for the major changes but if you weren't following along you're in for a nasty, buggy, surprise.
Moral believes really cannot be considered "correct" or "incorrect". It's sort-of why they are called "moral believes", and not "observed fact".

What's closest to being "correct" is "generally agreed to be good at guiding human behaviour into a direction that may, just possibly, survive the harsh light of passing time without being viewed as crass injustice. Or, you know, wiping out humanity (both senses of the word)".
I've met him. I would say he is not a systematizer, and providing a clear concise description is not one of his strengths.

That said, it didn't seem that complex. My impression was just: find the coldest places you can go, do it repeatedly, breath while doing it and focus on your breath.

Eventually you will have both physical adaptation to the cold, but also new mental control.

There's a bit more to it in terms of specific techniques, but I believe that's the gist. If you watch some videos of his you can see a bit more elaboration, but you have to read in between the lines for a practical overview.

In fairness to him, to the extent he's discovered something, we don't have good ways of describing it.
They can have whatever plans they want, it doesn't mean they have a remote chance of success.

The natural resource of the information age is not iron or oil, but a populace of free thinkers who are unafraid to fail while working outside of cultural norms. Why does the US dominate the Internet? It's not because our 1s and 0s are better quality, or our technology education is superior or even that we have better funding for tech (it costs almost nothing to create a web site except time, desire and expertise.) It's our culture: we value the pioneer spirit. New frontiers are dove into head first.

China's recent successes can be attributed to intellectual theft from innovative cultures, and brutal oppression of their own people. This does not scale. Until they free the minds of their populace, they will never be able to globally complete in science and technology.

They give many (all?) alternatives. It's up to the writer to pick the word they want and usually inexperienced writers will pick a complicated word that makes them seem clever.
The move seems aimed more at website building (ex. Wix) than blogging. These should be two different products because the blocks-based idea makes WP.com unusable for blogging, IMO. As a 10-year user, if they remove the option to revert, I'll be taking my blogs elsewhere.
Don't think so, mimeograph stencils are typed or drawn on with a stylus so that pressure pushes aside the wax layer and leaves the underlying thin fabric exposed. Then the stencil goes into the mimeograph to make hundreds or thousands of copies. Ink, usually black, did not fade.

There were ancient photocopying processes, including wet ones where individual sheets were hung to dry like laundry. Plus the famous 'blueprints', which were used for large engineering drawings. Maybe your copies are some variation of those, but by the late 80s pretty much everything for regular sized photocopies was dry process with black toner, like we use today minus the digital controllers.
The trouble is making the cell chemically stable with a way to get current in and out. We can't know what configurations we'll find where this works. Maybe tomorrow a catalyst that changes everything will be found and our batteries suddenly have the energy density of TNT.

>Bullshit. Windows 10 is the best Windows ever made. Never had a problem with it, and the updates are generally great. They had one recent one that went bad for a small number of users. None of our machines had any problems.

Pulled updates because of files being deleted, network drives not working after updates, updates installing without user confirmation on reboot forcing people to wait for Windows to get done. Automatically re-installing games into the start menu even on "Professional" version of Windows 10. Start menu searching that is inconsistent and slow. Invasive privacy settings that have a tendency to "accidentally" reset themselves after updates.

This is all well documented on the web, feel free to do some searching. I cannot fathom how anyone can believe Windows 10 is the best version of Windows.

>what if the “China Dream” is to replace us, just as America replaced the British Empire, without firing a shot?...

Devil's Advocate I know, but what would be so bad about this?

Our position, considering the world is now multi-polar, is really more of a predicament than a privilege. Why would we fight them replacing us? (Or rather, I suppose game theoretically it would be best to make a show of fighting it, and pretend to regret losing it. A la Huck Finn and whitewashing fences.)

I mean, my concern is that they don't WANT to replace us. Which, to my mind, is worse for us.
I agree about avoiding those long, terrible, narratives that introduce something completely unrelated, but I don't think he's suggesting that. Framing can simply be one opening sentence that states the real life human problem you're solving (the "why" they should read it that he's talking about). That should be following by the lede -- which is the solution to the problem you just mentioned. The rest of the writing is your proof of the solution.

It's a pretty simple formula that works. I've been doing it since 2009 and my blog has won copy writing awards and a webby award.
This is exactly what the new article makes it sound like. I can only hope the feds have some hard evidence to back up their fraud claims and this isn't just a "see, we are doing something! Vote for us!" tactic. If the Feds allow the defendants to hire representation, I guess a jury will decide.
Of course I am allowed to! Pullum being a respected grammarian does not substantiate the opinion that S&W is "ancient and full of nonsense."

A Chinese national was talking about this 100 year plan to me just the other day. It's certainly no secret or just a theory. The Chinese Dream is all about "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation". This isn't explicitly about overtaking the US, it's more about China taking what it considers to be its rightful place in the world - and that certainly isn't second place. In my view, it's only rational that this would be their goal.

China is definitely no friend of the US, nor an enemy (at this point), but definitely a genuine competitor. If the US does not recognize this and act accordingly, China will indeed replace it as the world superpower. If you're Chinese, this would be great news, if you're American it would be concerning. It's always going to be bad news for one of the parties due to the conflicting ideologies.
> the "Pu-tian clique",

From the outside it seems like they're notorious in China for having power and not being han chinese. Lets not let their ethnic stereotypes go unquestioned.
Adobe XD is part of their creative cloud offering and they publish themes and videos about the design process. It is really easy to mockup a real looking web page in XD, then use a favorite CSS framework to create it.

Also themeforest.net is great too, pharaohgeek mentioned that already, but that is also a great starting point as good themes look more like bootstrap documentation to give you a huge head start versus from scratch.
Personally, in that case I'd probably bet on AlphaZero to win. (that was a joke)

It might be an interesting question what the appropriate bet would be for win vs draw in this case, and how this would change with greater training. Presumably the more you train both sides the more likely they are to draw?

Also interesting would be to quantify the effect a small hardware handicap has, and how this trades off with training. Is more training always better than more hardware? Vice versa?

When you deliver an FPGA you’re normally also making your own hardware. That’s a big part of the FPGA porting cost, you have to redesign your boards. I don’t think the same is generally true in the x86 realm. Even if you’re specifically using some feature of the intel micro architecture it’s still essentially a code change rather than an full redesign.

>especially for things to "Go To Symbol" where it works almost instantly whereas I'm constantly waiting for VSCode to stop spinning and give up and cmd-f search instead.

"Go to symbol" isn't implemented by the IDE though. Neither Sublime Text nor VSCode provide that feature.

Plugins do.

What you're probably experiencing is that Sublime Text tends to have less intelligent language servers. Which means they're faster, because they're not scanning your whole project, or because they're not using the official language server.

I've written my own language server so I know firsthand that any UI delay is entirely my fault, not VSCode.
It's still an issue because you can't uninstall it, it's hard to disable completely (and on Mobile the option is buried in various menus and hard to find), and they're removing RSS/Atom feed support which would be fine if it was just to split more things out into addons like they claim, but then they're encouraging that you use Pocket instead. Mozilla encouraging the use of their own proprietary service over an open standard is unacceptable and against their mission, and yet I still have to have Pocket pop up and show me ads every time I reinstall my browser until I can figure out how to stop it from downloading random stories about things.

The article alludes to, but doesn't expand on, the US's lost lead in furniture manufacturing. For more on this fascinating story, I recommend Beth Macy's "Factory Man" [0], the story of the systematic destruction of the North Carolina and Virginia-based wooden furniture industry by Chinese imports.

It's the exact same playbook as Huawei -- govt-backed "dumping" of loss-priced goods in an attempt for total market dominance. And US companies have historically been way too willing to expose trade secrets to Chinese manufacturers in exchange for temporarily cheaper supplies -- a Faustian bargain.

The EU had (until 2014 when it was ruled to violate fundamental rights) a data retention charter which required member states to store all telecommunications data generated within the EU for a period between 6-24 months[1].

The GDPR explicitly allows for government surveillance to be excluded from the directive's protection.

Privacy International and a bunch of other NGOs have filed complaints[2] against "Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K." for violating rulings by the European Court of Justice over illegal mass surveillance. Here's another article[3].

Doesn't look like anybody is scrambling to jump on the train to the lowest possible ethical standard just yet. Even the reaction within China is actually rather encouraging. There are many arguments against allowing such experiments with human life, and it seems as if, just maybe, this could be a case where ethical standards are actually spreading slightly faster than the technology to break them.
Generally speaking, you don't do this. You figure out the size you need and allocate it dynamically. If you don't know the size, you use a dynamically growing array type (that does the same thing as C++'s std::vector). E.g. use asprintf (or implement your own using vsnprintf) as necessary. What you don't do is emulate the behavior of janky C programs that allocate a fixed size array. That's bad.

(Sometimes you have arrays where the size doesn't affect the correctness of your program. An example is if you're processing a file in chunks (e.g. to compute ROT-13), then chunk size will affect performance, but not correctness. You pick the size appropriate for your use case.)
This isn't going to help. It'd be better to refuse to do business with Australia, but be sure to show them just what they're missing out on.
Also, if you’re struggling with how to phrase something, try omitting it instead.
I know this is not for everyone, but sometimes it makes sense to jump off the CMS bandwagon and build a custom site. First I used Drupal but got tired of rewriting the site on every major release and jumped on WordPress. Then on WordPress I realized I could not create the user experience I was after without committing massive amounts of time and resources in custom plugins/themes. Leaving me too dependent on a moving target that might take a direction I don't agree with. It looks like there is a plugin for everything, but having them all play nice together is difficult. The more plugins the bigger the security risk, and the greater the risk of an update breaking your site.

I rewrote the site in Node.js/Express with Vue.js and server side rendering. The ecosystem is ready with so many libraries to quickly get up and running. Another major benefit is being able to design your own database instead of having everything stored as a post (WordPress).

Driving an open-source project is not the same as controlling it. WordPress has already been forked as ClassicPress and calmPress. If you don't like the direction WordPress is going, you have plenty of options.

Samsung is the result of US's stripping of Japan's manufacturing power. Japan used to challenge US's hi-tech status in the 70s and 80s. US forced Japan signing the "Plaza Accord" and immediately Japan entered the "lost decade", and so the chip manufacturing power was strategically moved to Taiwan and S.Korea.

Now it's turn for China.
I’m a father of three. I’ve had my kids in schools in four different cities. If we’re playing anecdotes, growing up my elementary school started at 8:00. My kid’s have had school start around 7:45. I don’t think that 15 minutes is the issue.

Continuing our story time, as a child a very small number of my classmates were part of after-school programs. Kids today are much more scheduled and for far later into the day. I grew up wandering the streets and maybe had baseball practice one day a week with a game on Saturday. I was home from school around 3:30, had homework done by 4:30-5:00, ate dinner around 5:30, and was put to bed (in elementary school) by 8.

I remember the thrill of having my bed time pushed to 9 around 8th grade. Bed time was 10 in high school except for weekends.

Very few people rode the bus to school: most had a parent drop them off.

This game changes significantly when both parents work. If both parents have to be in the office by 8, kids have to take the bus. Which means they have to get up very early. If both parents work until 5, then kids have to be in after-school programs. They’ll get home by 6-ish and have to fit in dinner, homework, and whatever activities they need to put on their resume to get into college.
People have been saying China haven't a hope in succeeding since the 80s yet here we are. Smashing everyone out of the water with ease. Doing the unthinkable as a matter of fact. They play to win and they're good at it.
Interview on Gutenberg and Future of WordPress
Would we fund it even then?

I would expect some nationalistic fervor that would help fund a space race would come from US conservatives.

But in the US the "conservative" side of politics seems more interested in short term tax cuts for corporations, dismantling government, and hating on immigrants, and other Americans...

I have my doubts the US would step up.
People making a big stink out of ethical concerns virtually ensure that this stuff is going to happen first in a place with the least concern for ethics. China seems to be where the action is on this front.

People worry about designer babies or baby hitlers (to name a few of the cliches). In reality people are trying to fix serious genetic defects and the science to do that in a responsible way is kind of near impossible to conduct in most reputable universities because of ethics. So, it's happening in a much less responsible way elsewhere by people who want to cash in on the obvious demand for any kind of snake oil or real solutions in this space.

Non linear X axis is a new method we introduce. We call it the "hour day week month" view, or the log timeline, because it is a bit like a log-plot: log data of time on the X axis.

It was made to quickly answer many questions that could only be done with the tables of numbers from accessible version.

Say something happened. You want to know how many hours ago was there a big move? How is it holding after that? How does it compares to yesterday? To the week before? To the month before?

To do that, even if we have data, the resolution must lowered. Because you want to a quick eyeballing, and if the bucket size vary too much, it is much harder.

Take XRP for example, go http://cryptomarketplot.com/timeline/ripple.pdf

[actually, I must have crashed the PDF part last week, so the numbers are from Dec 2. Sorry. Let's imagine it is today. We are working on it right now]

You see that the peak was 6 days ago, it had a large jump compared to the other DAYS. And the left, you see that on the last 4 months XRP/BTC has kept growing.

If you just look at the graph very quickly, you see a patter. The shape.

You can visually correlate the pattern to the other coins, and see if they all responded in the same way or not to a market event.
Technically, it's not like a dictatorship at all. A dictatorship is a government where there's one person at the top with ultimate power. What you have really is more like a "cabal", much like China's government.
