Previously, my perception was that WeChat Pay isn't available for me because WeChat isn't allowed to operate payment services in Europe, thus tries to keep me outside the system.

There's even more countries that used to be part of a bigger nation or empire, but which split up largely by native language borders as their power waned. One way to view this sort of forced homogenization is as an insurance policy to that future eventuality.
Yeah, the non-emergency number seems to be a placebo to me - I've never heard of anyone getting any results by ringing it. I'm sure things were better when one used to be able to ring the local station direct.
visual languages are good for very specific domains. look at Reaktor from native instruments, thats something which does work a lot better visually as a lot of the people who need that functionality aren't programmers neccesarily, and programming dsp units is not an easy task. you have applications for visual programming, but often it's very very specific or just purely for educational purposes. (teaching logic can be handy to do visually for some audiences.)
According to Wikitionary:

From Portuguese mandarim, mandarij, from Malay menteri, manteri, and its source, Sanskrit मन्त्रिन् (mantrin, “minister, councillor”), from मन्त्र (mantra, “counsel, maxim, mantra”) + -इन् (-in, an agent suffix).

Chinese folk etymology sometimes falsely claims that the word originates from 滿大人 (Mǎndàrén, literally “Manchu important man”).

Perhaps, although it's a bit odd to discount complaints simply because someone didn't go through another frustrating process to make the complaint.

Optimistically this might allow people to complain that otherwise wouldn't have bothered, and while it might be possible to explain away an increase in the number of complaints if it comes from a few people it becomes harder to ignore when these complaints come from a large group of people.

> Since 1980, the number of administrators per student at colleges has about doubled

I don't doubt that's true; I see it at my college. But I also see at my college that the percentage of students who need extensive administrative attention has shot up in the past ten years. (I teach at a SLAC, so if I have a concern about a student then I call an appropriate administrator and they genuinely try to see if the student is OK. For instance, not too long ago I called about a student and it turned out to be a suicide risk and my call and others prompted an intervention, and the student is OK. I don't know how many hours of administrator attention was clocked on this one person but I expect it was a lot.)

The article (sort of) addresses that. Apparently ATC has changed systems in the last few years resulting in a bunch of new flight paths near airports. So neighborhoods that were not affected by airplane noise say, 3 years ago, are now directly under a flight path.

I've never understood people who say you can live too close to work. My best commute was a 5 minute walk. I lived in the city centre so everything was close to me. Why would it affect my work/life balance? When I didn't want to work I just did other things.

Maybe what is meant is if you live closer to work at the expense of living further away from everything else. That makes sense. But living close to everything was great (shame the job itself sucked or I would have stayed).

OP here.

Foreign credit cards are almost never accepted in China. I've sometimes been able to use my non-Chinese Visa card in supermarkets, although even that has been rare and tedious. And hotels all take foreign credit cards, but that's clearly because so many foreigners want to use them to pay.

It's quite possible that WeChat is trying to avoid being regulated by non-Chinese authorities, and thus keeps foreigners out. They certainly (I'm guessing) don't want to have to deal with banking and privacy rules in other countries. So as you say, by keeping it restricted to prepaid usage, everyone wins.

The only thing I don't understand here is why they don't make it easier, more obvious, or more accessible to foreigners. The workarounds I describe have made my visits to China far easier over the last six months, and I hope that others will benefit, too!

> Did you have such a period in your life?

Yes, quite a few in fact. It has led me to the point where I purposefully shake things up every couple of years to avoid getting stuck in a rut. It took me a decade or two to realize this was causing me problems, but once it became deliberate it actually helped to provide structure. Easily bored is a complete understatement.

> If so, how did you handle it?

I try to do something radically different every couple of years now. The last company I started has upset my careful plans though, it took more than a decade to take off.
That was the puzzle I had in mind.
Bladderwort
Businesses can accept foreigner credit cards. But why would they, when foreigners are a tiny proportion of the population, and taking such cards probably costs them a fortune?

Someone just told me that the Shanghai hotel I stayed in for several days last week costs foreigners double the Chinese rate. Undoubtedly, part of that rate includes various taxes, and takes the payment margin into account.
The state of voice on Linux is awful.

I've got something close to the Talon control, without eye tracking, I'm working on now and then, using the Google API for voice interpret, because CMUSphinx was awful (50% accuracy per word, whereas Google was closer to 90%).

I'm hoping that Mozilla Voice when it comes will finally solve this or make it easy to build a decent control system.

The thing is, society doesn't survive a drought of teachers, for example. If the number of teachers fall below a certain amount, the new generation will not be correctly educated and the knowledge transmission link is broken.

This is similar to any other area, really.
If many hosts get abused (usually due to people setting up a quick VM for a task and forgetting to update it manually and not setting up automatic security patching) even a reputable hosting service becomes a script-kiddie farm.

Perhaps this has happened with DO and Apple have blocked its host address ranges from the API due to unwitting past involvement in hack/DDoS attempts?

This is common with public VPN services that people I know have used. I have the luxury of fixed addressing and decent bandwidth at home, so I run my VPN there and have thus far not noticed any such issues. This also means that services that are location sensitive work as if I'm at home (not some random other place the VPN endpoint appears at).

In my military training for the communications troops more than 35 years ago, we were drilled to "Think, Push, Breathe, Talk", because analog equipment has warmup latency, and besides, one would easily tend to unconsciously talk already while pushing the talk button.

If anything, it would be EASIER for digital equipment to work around this, analogous to how shutter buttons in digital cameras work: Run the microphone in always on mode and keep a short ring buffer of the audio prior to the button push.

Before prescribing something that is "better" you might want to find out if the OP considers their situation worth improving. I can't find any hints on if they are happy or unhappy about it.

I very much disagree with you: the more experienced the candidate is, the more the interview is about the company and the work environment, not just the candidate. I.e. it is a two way street, and the candidate has to decide in the end whether he/she wants to work for that company or not. There is simply no way a 1 or 2 hour interview can provide this information - this is why you need more time, and this is why I do think the process described in the post is a great way to interview.

This may not apply to all companies or situations, but for a Microsoft-sized organization this is the way it should be done.
I think he is using a definition closer to the one used in this paper:

>Athletes experience minor fatigue and acute reductions in performance as a consequence of the normal training process. When the balance between training stress and recovery is disproportionate, it is thought that overreaching and possibly overtraining may develop. However, the majority of research that has been conducted in this area has investigated overreached and not overtrained athletes. Overreaching occurs as a result of intensified training and is often considered a normal outcome for elite athletes due to the relatively short time needed for recovery (approximately 2 weeks) and the possibility of a supercompensatory effect. As the time needed to recover from the overtraining syndrome is considered to be much longer (months to years), it may not be appropriate to compare the two states. It is presently not possible to discern acute fatigue and decreased performance experienced from isolated training sessions, from the states of overreaching and overtraining. This is partially the result of a lack of diagnostic tools, variability of results of research studies, a lack of well controlled studies and individual responses to training.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00007256-200434140...

So it is not the normal aches or reduced performance you get from training a lot in a short time, sleeping too little or anything like that.

Why would the node need "3000 edges"?

In a source based language, would it have 3000 arguments or connections to other parts of the program?

This seems to be an issue of complexity management which would be the same (or worse) in source form.

If anything with a visual language you would be able to have it only show some specific nodes of those 3000 (e.g. those of a certain type, or going to a certain receiver), jump to a higher level view, and so on. With text it's all a big dump.

A visual language UI is a superset of text (and can go down to a just-source representation and source editing if needed.

The reverse is not true -- a source editor is not a superset of visual editing.

No, I have not described the waterfall method. I have listed the role players and processes associated with software development in a big organisation. Perhaps I wasn't clear on what I meant by testing which is a broad term which includes piloting software. Testing in a POS environment involves piloting out the POS software to a limited number of stores and letting it process actual transactions for a period of time. The perennial question which no one has been able to answer definitively is how do you align everyone with the software development process. You cannot roll out software without testing it and writing out a manual whether you use waterfall method or Agile.
Lol. But seriously, the irony is CD-ROM's degrade to completely unusable within a century due to disc rot. A CD-ROM made with gold and completely encapsulated in an extremely stable enamel might work. Then, leaving universal instructions as to how to use said CD-ROM is important, rather than arrogantly presumptive anthropocentrism.
I worked on code, protocols and a chipset for ATM and it was very, very quickly obvious that in the LAN environment ATM LANE was a total mess and the supposed driver for LAN ATM was desktop video conferencing which "required" QoS. At the time the competing LAN technolgies were 10Mbps Ethernet and 16Mbps token ring. What became very, very obvious was that 100Mbps Ethernet with switches was doing to win because... known technology (for IT departments), same cabling. I was just a peon but watching upper management talk about ATM being the future was very instructive: they weren't close to customers.

It’s certainly been said but IPv6 to my eyes is awash in second system syndrome, which has largely slowed its adoption.

The complexity of handling addresses is plainly a failure of the design. Using colons for separators when they’re already being used for ports served no purpose but to confuse. Having more than a single valid form of an address again only serves to confuse.

If there’s anything to learn from the UNIX principals it’s there is great power in making things easily manipulated as strings. The design of IPv6 makes this impossible.
Folklore does work, but it’s incredibly lossy and low bandwidth. It’s incredible how little of the aborigine history for the 40k years was preserved, even taking into account the mass murder of many of the elders.
>>and controlling the food supply by a combination lock.

All layers of civilization stripped away, killing your ex-co founder so food lasts a little longer.

You're better off, IMO, buying land somewhere far, far away in USA, and stock it with weapons and food. Weapons might be an issue (state laws) but with pocket change they can buy freeze dried food for 30 years. You have plenty of land and why not stock it with some seeds. Don't tell anyone, have plans to go there with no one but family. Stay low for a while, then peek out little by little. Gold, silver, food, weapons, water supplies /plans and live under the radar. No sign of life.
This is a great tool. We use it to generate an Entity Relationship Diagram from our canonical DDL file checked into our repo.

Here's the basic recipe:

1. Spin up a fresh Postgres instance on Docker using -P to claim an available ephemeral TCP port
2. Use `docker inspect` to read the Postgres port
3. Run DDL script on the fresh instance
4. Run SchemaCrawler Docker container using --network host option so it can connect to Postgres
and using -v so it can save a schema image to the host filesystem

This entire process is a `/bin` script checked into our repo, so we can update `/doc/db-schema.png` any time. It takes about 15s total since we have to pause for the Postgres instance to come online.
I agree with you there are multiple interpretations, but there’s an important distinction.

For me personally or likely for other experienced engineers, code compactness is a nice thing.

But this is unimportant, because nobody should be writing the code for me or with me in mind. Code compactness for the sake of other experienced engineers is an extremely stupid thing to prioritize above the simplicity of reading straightforward, separated operations that rely on as few concepts as possible.

Code compactness is nowhere near as important as concept compactness, because the latter appeals to all engineers, not merely to other experienced ones.

Anything that requires or introduces a new concept or mixes multiple concepts together is more costly in terms of hurting readability and maintainability than corresponding “longer” code that relies on fewer concepts.
nope, it tastes awful to me.
I have just figured out the perfect IoT device to solve this problem:

Push a button when local infrastructure makes you angry. The device figures out your location from GPS and user input on setup. The device then searches for a local realtor, and sends them an email saying that the device's owner wants to move. The realtor handles it from there.

If flight paths are changing, the housing market will adjust. If you don't want to be subject to the vagaries of metropolitan infrastructure, buy land in the middle of nowhere.

Well, a bunch of countries have more or less agreed on aiming for no more than 1.5 degrees warmer.

IPCC made a report on what that would entail stating basically that even with an overnight abolishment it cannot be reached. But that if we assume it feasible to use afforestation and other techniques to extract CO2 from the atmosphere in the future we might have chance to reach that target for 2100
given we stop using fossil fuels by 2030.

Given the scale of the transition necessary, overnight or 11-years is more or less the same time frame

UEFI is not the same thing as UEFI Secure Boot. UEFI booting in general makes dual-booting far easier than BIOS-based booting where operating systems have to fight over who owns the MBR. Secure Boot makes it harder to set up a multi-boot system because you need a signed bootloader for your Linux system.
