The reminds me of the "bottomless bowls" experiment [0]. I know it from a TV show where it was recreated a few years ago but it was actually a real study.

> Using self-refilling soup bowls, this study examined whether visual cues related to portion size can influence intake volume without altering either estimated intake or satiation.

> Participants who were unknowingly eating from self-refilling bowls ate more soup than those eating from normal soup bowls. However, despite consuming 73% more, they did not believe they had consumed more, nor did they perceive themselves as more sated than those eating from normal bowls. This was unaffected by BMI.

I'm from Europe , the only feedback I have about Chinese Software Engineers is Java.

My Feedback is based on GitHub Chinese's popular repositories , those repos are almost always written in Java.

> we are no different from other parts on the planet

Every part of the planet is different.

France is mostly PHP because it was free and it had a lot of commitment for open source.

UK is largely .NET because paying for MS tooling was never an issue.

India is more Java because offshore pushed the industry that way.

The trending page of GitHub for today contains a couple of Chinese repos[0]. They are all Java based except for one.

Touch ID never left… still around on the 2018 iPad (non-Pro) and the MacBook Pro/MacBook Air, but then the 2018 iPad is the budget version of the iPad line, and Face ID wouldn’t work on MacBooks because people don’t hold the front camera up to their faces the same way that people hold iPhones or iPads.

> Basically, you might be dead on the money that they are not 'trustworthy enough', but lets not lose sight of the fact that even being an order of magnitude from human performance might be enough after costs and engineering benefits get factored in.

Ironically, the thing that is lost in this comment would be "accountability". In case of a human, you can go back / trace decision making criteria and hold someone accountable. In case of an algorithm, everyone washes their hands off. Performance is not the only criteria to make a decision if algorithms are "trustworthy" over humans.
Hard, honest reviews would be awesome.

You're conflating what you are interested in with what other HN readers might be.

You seem purely interested in it as a user, which is fine, but far from universal.

We did this too. But it was ever so sad ripping the kids off their beds and sending them off to school in those inhuman hours while you knew you could fall back to sleep afterwards yourself.

I've tried to let them know they would be right in sleeping in longer and it's the school schedules that are wrong and perverse, from their/our perspective. And during the weekends all time in the morning is sacred: nobody can talk normally until everyone has woken up.

You know what else barely learns anything given the amount of computation that goes into it? A kid.

With 100 billion neurons -- so on the order of a hundred gigabytes of RAM -- after 72 months of closely supervised learning they're still far from being able to do many rudimentary tasks. It takes over 10 years of training to do that.

I've driven into Italy from Switzerland on a few occasions. It's like one of those MMOs where you know you're in a new zone immediately. Even though you're driving you can tell exactly where the border is, not just where the official building for the import/export inspectors are, but the exact place where the Swiss asphalt ends and the Italian begins.

Switzerland: Asphalt is perfect. No potholes, it might be a Formula One track you're on. There's no weeds sticking up. There's no plants growing over the signs or the barriers on the side. Signs themselves are pristine, like they were made today. No debris such as tyres or hubcaps on the roadway, though you do cross a piece of trash every now and again. You also come across the maintenance vehicles that keep all these things clean.

Italy: Not like that.

Most of Europe is like this. Germany is pretty good. France is a bit less decayed than Italy. Denmark is better but still weeds, trash, and potholes. UK is like Denmark, not perfect but you don't get that sense of failed state that you get crossing into Italy.

One social/political thing that always comes to mind is they could hire people to clean things up. They wouldn't be highly paid, but people on low income getting paid could be good for the economy. Italy and France also have reasonably high unemployment rates, so there must be some people who would be willing? And they'd be providing a public good: everyone wants to live in a clean country.

I made the transition to Bluetooth long before the headphone jack became an endangered species (in fact, back when SonyEricsson was still a thing), and have fared well, with one exception: iOS music/synth apps have varying latency issues with Bluetooth, which means I will need an USB audio adapter sometime in the future.

But for general entertainment purposes, I’m fine. Not being an audiophile, I can still say that using the right Bluetooth DAC makes a world of difference, and that you may need to go a bit upmarket for good sounding headphones, but the price differential falls more on the side of the hardware than the DAC.

(Higher-specked headphones are often dual wireless/wired models, too)
Surely people can hack themselves a routine to wake up early. But like you said, when having the luxury of choice you would likely start drifting back later again. I think that's the innate part people refer to when talking about larks vs night owls.

It's not uncommon to not even be able to force yourself to sleep early, however. I've only ever managed to do that through severe sleed deprivation.

For example, if I have a week when I have to wake up at 7 each morning I will only begin to fall asleep around 22 around Thursday/Friday. Up until that I've just fought my natural cycle: I can not force myself to fall asleep but I can force myself to get up early. So, I get less and less sleep until I practically fall asleep sitting. Now, if I continued the 22-07 rhythm I'd eventually stop being a zombie and become productive again (done that, too), but as soon as I finally have the luxury of choice again I'm very soon back at going to sleep after midnight, on the next day or so at the latest.
I know it’s not quite the original, but SimCity 3000 (what I grew up on) was available a couple years back on iOS but now sadly gone.
Even if I'm pissed off with this particular incident since I was working on a project using this great library and I was scared by the little snowy button :) ... but I agree with you those people are doing it for fun. I used too but lost interrest in working for free. A lot of companies are making a ton of money using (among many others) my OSS project. Even my current employer (big if not biggest European software vendor) is using it on a major product they're selling for millions the funny thing is that they don't even know and prohabiting employees to work on open source even in their own free time.

This particular experience make me understand that working for free on open source is really a foolish idea. I was tempted by changing the license but since there are many others using it to build their business I thought it's better to just keep it as it is by respect to early adopters and users which any project is nothing without them.

For a healthy open source project the work needed it's not fun at least for me, it's not just about hacking/problem solving/design, you need actually to do issues triage, answer questions, documentation, extensive testing (with whole infrastructure for builds/releases/communication) those are not fun activities and in most cases done better than paid softwares (because people are passionate about their projects) and in addition to that I need to work fulltime on different (shitty) things to pay the bills and have time for familly ...

I've heard a lot from other Americans about thinking France was a dump when they visited, and I really thought they were exaggerating. When I visited, I was actually pretty surprised to find it just how they described it. I wasn't sure if it was just that it was different, but I guess it's nice knowing at least some Europeans seem to agree.

What really shocked me was how often I've heard terrible things about China from Euros/Americans, but going and seeing brand new, pristine streets, no litter in the rivers and streams, and not even cigarette butts on the sidewalks. I know dirty areas exist, because they do everywhere and China is the world's manufacturing capital, but they're doing great with their urban areas these days. But most Western cities make me depressed these days. You can see what they used to be, but they feel like they're wasting away.
Native Chinese guy here.

Software Development in China is more like the United States, not India. China now has several very big software development product or platform companies like Huawei(more than 80k engineers), Alibaba and Tencent(20k to 30k engineers), even the newer companies like Meituan-Dianping (market valued 30B dollars) with nearly 10k engineers.

These teams are learning closely what the counterparts in silicon valley or Seattle did and they learned fast. They also have built massive IT infrastructure.

Java and Python are the most popular languages for server side or other things, and JavaScript is the king for front-end. Newer languages like Go, Rust, Kotlin are gaining more and more adoption. It seems China has much more Go users than US！

Everyone wrote code and comments in English. There are viable programming language projects in Chinese keywords, but very, very niche.

The hottest buzzwords? K8s, Elastic, Flink, Vue (developed by a Chinese guy), deep learning, GAN, TensorFlow...

Agile is not very hot here, although Scrum stuff is often heard in office. Lean Startup(MVP) dominates.

Today we use

For database, we use RDS/Dynamodb

Redis for cache.

Dynamodb is better in cases where we want to localize the latency of our regional lambdas.

RDS for everything else like dashboard entity storage etc..

Cloudwatch prints logs, kinesis takes the log to s3 where it's transformed in batches with lambda then data is moved to Redshift.
Redshift for stats/reports.

Converted whole ad network to Serverless.
Used Rust Lambda runtime for CPU intensive tasks.

Using Go for the rest of the Lambdas.

I love Go and Rust and optimizing just one Lambda at a time brought back the programme joy in my life

Used Apex+Terrform to manage whole infra for the ad network.

We managed to deploy Lambda in all AWS regions ensuring minium latency for the ad viewers.

The thing which took over 50 (tech side only) person team, now takes 10 people to run the whole ad network.

Network is doing 20M profit per year/9 billion clicks per day.

It's my greatest achievement so far because we made it from scratch without any investor money.

But one the other side, we'll have to shrink our team size next year as growth opportunity is limited and we want to optimize efficiency further.

> but the exact place where the Swiss asphalt ends and the Italian begins.

Not sure why you were being downvoted because that was my exact experience as I drove into Italy from Switzerland using the Simplon pass two summers ago. I remember taking a driving pause on the side of a “statale” one hour after having passed the border and I was amazed about how much garbage there was (“this looks exactly like back home in Romania”, I said to myself) while the same sort of stop I had encountered earlier during the trip on the Swiss shore of Lake Constanz was as clean as a four-star hotel bathroom.

On the other hand Italy is the most beautiful place in the world for history and architecture buffs such as myself, I daydream about visiting different parts of it basically every other day (I’ve already visited Rome, Turin, the shores of Lago Maggiore and Trieste, but there are a limited number of summer holidays in one’s life, plus the money eventually runs out).
