That might be an inherent Chinese cultural problem: convenience over rules. It could be so convenient for authorities to suppress people yet it could be also a huge tax exempt over one night as long as you commit to invest or build a factory. When doing right, it could be super effective but also come with huge risks sometimes(e.g the policy of letting a few become rich first since 1980s)

Its classic philosophy is also very blurry, can be summarized as: A is right, B is not necessarily wrong.
I admit my historical views are (or was?) extremely skewed, flawed and uninformed, I'm never proud of that, but I will never hate myself for it too since those are what Chinese textbooks and society taught me since I'm born.

I do regret that I came to realize it a bit late in my life tho, but that's what life is right?
It’s not that no one ever noticed. It’s that the folks who thought somebody did notice didn’t have any idea what they were talking about.
I totally agree with your point. But unfortunately/ fortunately, those other fields you mention do require a degree as a minimum. But again, they also tend to have larger consequences (usually), compared to a few bad lines of code (usually).

I take no pride in it.

I had terrible experiences with the public school system growing up, and I doubt it's been fixed since then. I do not trust the government to do the right thing as a result. The government is yet another organization made up of people (or really, smaller organizations made up of people) who aren't necessarily doing their job correctly (or incorrectly, to be fair).

Also, our "society" and the government are not the same thing. Paying taxes to the government is not the same thing as paying your dues to society. As an example, if I have to pick between which person "contributes" to "society" more, a person who pays $0 in taxes because they work but earn very little versus a person who pays $0 in taxes because all their income is made illegally through theft, I can easily point to the former as being a better contributor to society. Similarly, one could make a case against the contributions of someone who pays a lot in taxes because they own a business that harms the environment or has other negative externalities. The point is that taxes are a rather poor measure of contribution to society. It's simply a reward of resources to government which, at least in the US, transforms those resources into a lot of shit including death in other countries.

I will admit that I think this is all necessary in order for the whole system to work, but I'm not going to pretend that the government is good or even, simply, not as bad as corporations. The attitude that taxes are something to be prideful about just seems like cheerleading. Not making a personal dig at you, that's just how I feel about the attitude.

And personally, I'll probably never feel prideful in contributing to taxes. Or maybe when I start receiving social security in several decades. Basically, it would take a lot to convince me that my previous most significant experience with the government (through my education) is unimportant and these other reasons (A, B, C, etc.) over here -- that I've had no personal experience with -- show that government is actually really very good and I should be proud to pay taxes.

Those are very different cases. Also, public citations of classified intel is a dumb thing to require. I hope the reason why is obvious.

In the SuperMicro example, the same shadowy government organizations you accuse of conspiring to build a narrative against China are some of the people who debunked this story.

>Is Netflix "prevented" or "not preferred". Let's pick our battle before we fight it.

See, in my mind these two are, legalese aside, absolutely identical for the consumer. Legalese included I absolutely realize they are the same, why wouldn't they? It's just contracts between legal entities.

From the view of a society with states that govern and can, where it benefits or would otherwise hurt society, restrict what entities can put in their contracts I'd say that there are plenty of cases to be made for such restrictions (e.g. worker protections, access to elementary resources, ...).

I'm kind of hoping here that we have some common ground there. I feel like our point of disagreement is whether or not governments should be involved in the case of ISPs, right? My point there would be that if one legal entity (consumer) does not have a wide range of choice (ISP), there hardly is any choice to be had and one party can pretty much dictate the terms of their agreement (and a bunch of other arguments for net neutrality others formulated way better).
This might really boil down to the question if we personally attribute some societal value to ISPs being a neutral player or pure infrastructure provider I'm afraid.

edit: formatting
Actually I think that's the wrong perspective.

I don't think these folks have any more faith in China than they do the US, moreso, they don't see China as as much of a threat to themselves and others as the US.

How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler - I come back to this book constantly and I absolutely love it. Highly recommended. 5/5.

Deep Work by Cal Newport - Could be summed up in a blog post. 3/5 (for the message; lower otherwise - maybe 2-2.5/5)

Fanatical Prospecting by Jeb Blount - Could be summed up in a blog post, but I think he makes a point on cold calling - if you need to do it, suck it up and do it. And that about sums it up. 2.5/5 (message is decent and he does offer some tips)

Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke - Liked it, but unsure that I'll continue. 3.5/5.

White Fang by Jack London - Enjoyable and descriptive. Had to power through, though. 3.5/5

Treasure Island by RLS - Absolutely loved it. Now I need to power through the 800ish episodes of One Piece. 4/5

King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green - The story moves pretty fast. 4/5

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford - Khan as a historical figure fascinates me and I enjoyed this book. Don't know if it's just me, but Weatherford does seem to handwave Mongol atrocities. 4/5

Genghis Khan and the Quest for God by Jack Weatherford - Again, enjoyable. 3.5/5

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett - Charming and enjoyable story. 4/5

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell - Pretty sure this is the first book I ever read that's written from an animal's POV. I liked it. 4/5

The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson (Penguin Classic) - I really liked it. Helped me understand a bit more about Norse mythology. 4.5/5

Rejection Proof by Jia Jiang - I read this earlier in the year; it's about a guy who asked people ridiculous things in an effort to see if they'd say yes or no. I believe the thesis boils down to "Don't be afraid to ask; people say yes more often than you think." Was an enjoyable read. 4/5

My Antonia by Willa Cather (Oxford World Classic) - Really good read and not that long of a book. 4.5/5.

Apollo 8 by Jeffrey Kluger - As the title implies, it's about the Apollo 8 mission. Same guy who wrote the biography on Neil Armstrong. 3/5.

Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling - Charming short stories that Kipling told his daughter until she died. 3.5/5

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain - Was assigned this in high school but didn't read it then. Read it now. I missed out; it's a good book, but I think it's relatively boring until Tom starts going out with Huck a bit more. 3.5/5

The Wind in the Willows Kenneth Grahame - Best book I've ever read on friendship and its importance. 4.5/5

Only surprises for me were Apollo 8, which I didn't like as much as I liked the Neil Armstrong biography; Tom Sawyer, in that I liked it; and that Deep Work and Fanatical Prospecting seemed a lot more bloated than they should've been. Besides that, I'm happy I didn't read any books that I didn't like, but I suppose I didn't take many risks either.
This type of attitude isn’t terribly helpful either. Sorry if that came off as snarky but this one is near and dear to my heart.

The reason you get twelve replies is because PowerShell is the answer to wanting a good shell and decent command line tools. Not perfect but it runs circles around typical ‘nix shells.

It would be a bit like having a decent Ruby or Python-based shell on Linux and bemoaning the lack of a Windows cmd port.

That said there’s a great case to be made for familiarity and experience and any bourne-like is going to do just fine without PowerShell’s bells and whistles. Powershell is also far from perfect and has warts and limitations like anything else.

The software is shipped by those who create the phone itself. If you don't trust anybody, you can't get a piece of silicon to connect to mobile networks and draw a website on a screen. Any open source hardware eventually depends on the promise that the thing does what it promises.

The commercial world has these trust issues as well as the open source world. Maybe the underlying issue is: how can we test devices and software that is incredibly complex?
Why would they do that when Powershell is literally that, but refined beyond what's commonly available on Linux?

I'm not great with it yet, but it feels intuitively like a step forward to be able to pass objects around instead of spending so much of my time using awk-ward 40 year old tools to tease text out of various fields.

Wow, this takes me back to 2004 or 2005.

I put together a compiz/beryl demo using the flame effects and cube switch in 2005 or 2006. It help converted a few friends over to run Linux on their home PCs (OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Firefox, Gaim (Pidgin) and Citrix).

The flame effects were really the wow factor that sold it. I think only one person stuck around past year 3 but it really help prove to me that non-tech folk could be somewhat productive on the Linux desktop.

It also legitimized a Linux loner laptop in the laptop pool of the company where I was working at the time. Not too shabby for 2006.
What do you mean by that. Seems like a bit of a troll comment. They both have totally different codebases so the only real thing thats the same is they are both browsers and they both support the same web standard. Would you like them to fork html/css/js and make everything incompatible?
I don't know about the "completeness" part but the idea of making a brower-like rendering system without the burden of having to support old standards and data formats _is_ appealing. I think this is what projects like QML [1], JavaFX [2], Avalonia [3] and more recently Flutter [4] have done (also... Flash! does anybody remember it anymore? One minute of silence please...).

It is too bad none of these projects decouple well enough the layout and rendering part, they are really very coupled to their respective environments and all of them are super idiosyncratic and make cross-language development almost impossible or unpractical (except maybe Qt but it is not quite the same model as QML), as opposed to the openness of the web platform. I think maybe all of them use Skia on the back though?

Some of these projects are similar to the browser in that they allow controlling the content using an scripting language (JavaScript for QML). What do you get when you mix a rasterizer plus a scripting system or VM plus a layout system plus some IO primitives? Macromedia Flash! Just kidding, you get a browser. Or either one :-).

With regard to browser specific problems, I came across these articles from this "Meyerovich" guy talking about some opportunities to optimize and parallelize the layout process. Honestly a lot of this stuff flies over my head (formulating the layout problem with attribute grammars? I don't even know how to use attribute grammars for the "normal" things... :-p). I have the idea of maybe coming back to these papers some day with more time and patience and go over the references, etc:

Mandatory arbitration is more common in low-wage workplaces. It is also more common in industries that are disproportionately composed of women workers and in industries that are disproportionately composed of African American workers. [0]

It's always easier to blame the victim than to change the system that made them a victim. The Google Employees are not just speaking for themselves:

>“2019 must be the year to end a system of privatized justice that impacts over 60 million workers in the US alone.”

In fact, those who are speaking out are probably the least likely to effected by forced arbitration, because arbitration is optional for FTEs @ Google

I switched back to Debian/Devuan on my laptop. I also use FreeBSD and OpenSuSE on servers, along with Debian. OpenSuSE was not my choice but company policy. I've grown to like it though because it just works and zypper is quite a breeze. Not so many packages as Debian or FreeBSD though, sometimes you have to compile more exotic stuff. FreeBSD is rock solid and much more consistent than Linux, because it's a full blown OS, as opposed to a kernel with GNU software slapped over it. Linux distributions also made some questionable choices like systemd adoption.
Maybe my history is fuzzy, but I seem to recall beryl being a fork of compiz which eventually came back into the fold.

I would have said the same thing a year ago. Today not so much because Apple hardware prices have skyrocketed. It used to be that a Mac cost 2x the PC equivalent, but now the cost is reaching 3x. For many, especially considering engineering salaries, that's justified. To me, having the familiar GNU toolchain and Linux configuration available at any moment without having to use a VM or Homebrew is worth the downgrade in eye candy.
