A few years ago I was watching a movie at my parents' house during a visit over the holidays and I noticed something wasn't right. I kept saying the video motion was strange and apparently nobody else thought anything was strange. When we paused for a drink refresh I played with the settings and found the clear motion which I turned off. Problem solved. Nobody else thought it looked any different.

State of Blockchain Q3 2018
I see a difference between infantilizing oneself and being "kid-friendly". Just like I wouldn't think of Sesame Street as adults infantilizing themselves.

Take people like jackseptic and others with their "floundering around while being hyper" stuff. That's what I mean with infantilizing oneself in a way that harms development and is not kid-friendly at all.

"But kids like it". That's where the concept of being mature comes in. Adults cannot excuse what they are doing by what kids supposedly like. By that logic, it'd be better to give kids sweets than actual food.

I don't even have to try, ElsaGate is going strong as ever. Couldn't find you any live action extreme stuff with adults in diapers and all that, but I wouldn't be surpised if even some of that is still around.

Thanks to Youtube and Disney calling it "over" before it could gain the mainstream traction it absolutely still warrants. These unmarked mass graves, they will have to be talked about, make no mistake. Decades of normalization that lead up to this will have to be thrown out, too.

This is a very false equivalence. Your fashion specific example doesn't support your broader claim that market access is comparably difficult in US and China. The facts says otherwise pretty starkly.

And even in the context of GP's example, the small/medium Euro businesses are in high demand. That's why the counterfeits are selling to begin with. If you're an in-demand fashion brand, it's not as hard as you describe to get into big retail or open boutiques.

Yea me too finally. Switched from running in vagrant today and it shouldn't have felt like an achievement. It should work in cygwin and ubuntu for windows sanely, but it doesn't and it's pretty slow and temperamental so I'm not sure how many re-installs or restarts will be required tomorrow.

I wouldn't say it's inexcusable, but I'm definitely trying to avoid any systems language that has implicit null, and allows for data races and de-referencing uninitialized memory from safe code. So that only really leaves ATS and Rust, and rules out Nim, D, Zig, Jai... (for me at least).

Zig certainly has some cool ideas - I definitely think that we should be making the phase distinction more flexible. I do wish however that its compile time function evaluation was built on a firmer foundation, ie. using dependent types.

We did do a lot of benchmarking during the development of v6, and have a standalone benchmarks repo that you can clone yourself [0].

Unfortunately, while I'd also hoped that v6 would be faster for the same reasons, it's a lot more complicated than that. I wrote about the performance implications of the changes specifically in my "implementation" blog post [1].

If you do see performance issues with v6 in your own production apps, please file an issue and let us know.

Windows and MacOS did something like this too. The memory APIs worked in terms of blocks of memory identified through 'handles' rather than pointers.

To get a pointer, there were additional calls that would enable blocks (identified by handle) to be locked and unlocked. The lock calls provided pointers that were deemed valid until the block was unlocked.

The net of this is that the OS could do things like relocate and page blocks that weren't locked, and do it without hardware assistance.

It really was a nice, minimalistic way to approximate some 'big iron' features on modest hardware. (Although it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to go back. :-) )

Not sure what you’re talking about.

If you go on the iPhone pages of the Apple website you can clearly see the same artifacting, noise patterns, and lens distortion from both the native iPhone sensor and native wide angle and portrait lenses.

I am 100% positive they did not use lens attachments in those photos. Also, the lens adapters don’t make the photo quality “better.” They just have the ability to modify the focal length.

> I can't imagine it is ever the intent of the programmer that if(i+1 < i)x be there simply as decoration to be removed by the compiler.

I agree.

> But this should be sound deduction. For example, if the target processor traps on overflow, the compiler can deduct that the conditional is always false. But what GCC/Clang do now is (a) generate machine code on x86 and ARM that does wrap, and (b) transform code on the axiom that ints will not wrap!That is, they take "false" for a theorem.

I understand the desire, but you are talking about a different language, maybe assembly. C and C++ compilers just aren't in the habit of purposely compiling ill-formed code differently depending on the target processor. First and foremost they apply the rules of the language, and the rules are oriented towards portable-yet-fast code, and then as a last step they generate assembly or machine code.

I _really_ don't think you want the compiler changing the rules of the game depending on the target architecture. In fact, the trend is almost entirely away from this in all modern languages: towards a single consistent execution regardless of the architecture.

So the "deductions" you talk about are necessarily going to be against the abstract machine defined in the language, not against the final target.

It worth noting too that there is even an increasing trend towards separating the higher-level compilation and optimization and the final generation of a binary from the IR, for example in the Apple App Store I think you now submit IR which can be specialized by the store itself for each target device, including some not created yet. So at least in the initial stages of compilation, you may not even know the target, or it may not even exist at the current time!

Whenever I ask for feedback with friends, I say “on a scale of 1-7” which has the effect of being both a tad off-putting and rather memorable.

Assuming I care how they respond, there are a few benefits:
- people are conditioned to rate at the extremities with a 10-point scale, whereas they tend to use the whole spectrum more when the scale is reduced to seven points.
- most people don’t realize that “1-10” has no true middle number. On the other hand, 4/7 is perfectly “in the middle”.
- if you believe psychologists, the average persons working memory is “7, +/-2” items. In my opinion, the brain seems to treat the “2” and “3” responses on a 10-point scale as roughly indistinguishable. There is similar haziness between “6” and “7”. The average person seems more capable of making distinctions across seven points.

Anyway, when you’re asking for feedback (and not on a first date), consider the seven-point scale!
Well it’s generally true for the rest of the industry. AAMFG hands out f-u money and most people would be happy to sell their soul for it.

The refactoring bit is almost convincing enough for me. I'm a front-end developer with a strong background in JavaScript and React. They say Typescript is a superset of JavaScript, but I disagree. I feel like I can't write JavaScript anymore when Typescript is in the mix. React component declaration gets messy and ugly. Just the other day I tried to use "document.something"... nope, can't do that, because there's no explicit interface for "document". It feels like every simple thing takes one or two extra steps with Typescript, and sometimes those steps take me all day to resolve!

Personally, the facet of Chinese history that grates me the most is the pretense that China has a ~2200 year history of successive unitary states (I'm not going to take pre-Qin unification as credible).

When you compare Chinese history to European history, there's a lot more parallelisms than you might expect from the popular conception. The Qin unification in 221BC is fairly contemporaneous with the rise of Rome in the west (who dispatched the Carthaginians in 201BC and the remnants of the Macedonians by 146BC). The Han dynasty collapsed around AD184 (with the Yellow Turban Rebellion), which stabilized into a three-way (later two-way) partition by AD220 that lasted until Sui reunification in 589; this unification persisted until the collapse of the Tang dynasty in 907. Similarly, in the West, the Roman Empire collapses in the Crisis of the Third Century (235-284), and reemerges in a mostly permanent state of division between Western and Eastern Empires. The Eastern Empire persisted until its defeat in 1204, whereas the Western Empire disintegrated over the 4th and 5th centuries but recoalescing into a Merovingian dynasty (Clovis I reunited most of modern France and Germany by his death in 511, although it was promptly divided on his death) and later a unified Carolingian kingdom that became the Holy Roman Empire when crowned by the pope in 800. Although the empire again divided on Charlemagne's death, it did stabilize as a Kingdom of France in the west and a HRE in the east, with a contested bit in the middle.

Portal was free on Steam. That was the incentive. Heard about this cool game but not sure you can justify full price for what sounds like a weird tech demo? Install Steam and it's free (for a limited time). Most people I know who play some games but not many installed Steam precisely to try Portal for free. Valve has doubtless made back the investment many times over, even if you ignore the fact that Portal was already wildly successful and so didn't need to earn Valve one single extra penny.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they didn't compile it themselves.
Sigh. Risk of death still 100% no matter what you do.

Not really, or I should say it's hard to get rid of. Every educated Chinese will learn an amazing amount of traditional culture (commonly referred as poem of Tang dynasty and the verse of Song dynasty LOL) and also many articles of Classical Chinese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Chinese). Damn I could still recite many of them after years. It's mandatory and counts a significant portion in most exams. When one got intrigued by the traditional culture, nothing basically stops him from dig in the history.

Since it's a Redux-related thread, I'll toss out one other sub-thread to let people know what we're working on, and ask for feedback.

We've already completely revamped the React-Redux docs [0]. They're now published as a separate site, and we're writing all-new content, like guides on how to best use `connect`. There's plenty more topics we plan to cover, but it's a big improvement already.

Meanwhile, we're also working on a new build setup for the Redux core docs. Once that's ready, we'll turn our attention to actually revamping the actual Redux docs content and structure. (There's an existing issue if you'd like some info on some of the plans [1]).

So, with that in mind, I'd specifically like to ask:

- What do you think are the biggest strengths and weakness of the current Redux docs at https://redux.js.org ?

- What topics do we do well?

- What is not covered, or explained poorly?

- What would be the biggest improvements we can make to the docs structure and content?

I'd appreciate any constructive feedback people can offer.

Finally, we've got a new `redux-starter-kit` package [2] that can help simplify common use cases like store setup, writing reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating "slices" of your store automatically. I'd encourage people to try it out. I talked some about this package in my recent ReactBoston talk on "The State of Redux" [3]. We'll be emphasizing this package when we rework the tutorials and other parts of the docs in the near future.

Bill Gates worried that ACPI would make 1999 the year of Linux on the desktop
I left this comment before on a different thread.

As a publisher of the medical technologies news website (since 2004), I can tell you that what we have now is monopolized internet.
Few entities, like Google and FB, took over the internet and crafted the landscape to their advantage. They monopolized ads revenue, search traffic, and more importantly, they are actively spying on the general public, taking away any possible advantages from publishers. So website for doctors cannot make money by advertising to doctors. Doctors will see Google ads on Candy Crush. The result is a dearth of advertising money for publishers and regulations aimed at destroying any attempt to take over these behemoths.

When was the last time you saw GFPR notice on Facebook or Google? Do you think publishers enjoy having "Please Donate" pop-ups? When was the last time you heard of investment rounds in online publishers?

In the olden days we had websites and blog networks being born, Gawker, Weblogs Inc, TechCrunch network, political networks, etc etc. And what do we have now? Central stations with fake news shenanigans and retarded memes. While publishers, including your local newspaper and your favorite websites, are struggling.

It can be humanistic and nationalist at the same time. I think that's actually a good way of reconciling the common narrative you hear from either side.

It can be intended to spur creativity and innovation (and do so) while also being captured and circumscribed by different interests (in different ways over time).

This would include big identity-based interests, like nationality or ethnicity, that have been relevant in the history of this country (and every country).

It can be economically productive and unfair at the same time. So, do you work to make it more inclusive and target the benefits better? Or do you give it all up, the good with the bad?

Archaeology is easy to do badly. It is usually the case that the same evidence fits multiple interpretations. The proper way to do it is to treat archaeology as a process of winnowing out theories as they are found to be inconsistent with evidence. The wrong way to do it is to pick a theory you want to be true and to show how to fit the evidence into that theory (especially because the temptation is strong to discard evidence that is inconvenient for the theory, hoping no one will notice).
