It’s easy I agree but not that easy. When my grand mother passed away at home in India we took her to the hospital and they said she was brought dead and they cannot issue a death certificate. Then we had to find some doctor in the neighborhood who was willing to issue one. Now he only agreed to issue after making sure that he she was actually dead. I suspect getting a fake death certificate would not not be this easy.

Agreed, as well as the "Oh why didn't the Berkley people implement the OSI 7 layer model, then TCP would have been layered over UDP".

The reason that TCP beat out all the other protocols is because it didn't "layer" everything. OSI was beautiful in the abstract, but a complete cluster-fuck in the implementation.

Now we have enough processing power that the abstract layering makes more sense. But where the layers interact with cross-layer requirements like security was never actually dealt with in the OSI days.

Interestingly, this is only true among Chinese people. In its own official documents (which it has to issue in Chinese), San Francisco uses an entirely different name to refer to itself.

I've complained about this here before after Uber and Lyft did the same thing in Texas (https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2017-03-14/lege-f...), states certainly have an interest in legislative preemption when there's a good and prevailing cause for it, I won't argue the legal merits there, but I think this warrants serious consideration beyond the surface when voters (as was the case in Austin) decide on municipal code and business effectively 'buy' preemption or else threaten to take their ball and go home (https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2016-05-13/our-city-our...).

Yes, there are words in Chinese. A lot of them make sense while others do not.

Chinese use compound words a lot. For example, there is "午餐", which means "Lunch", where "午" means "noon" and "餐" means "meal". In this way, it is more like German "Mittagessen" where "Mittag" is "noon" and "Essen" is "eating".

There are also a lot of words do not make sense like "天真", which means "naive", while "天" means "sky" and "真" means "real(ly)". This does not make sense at all.

Still, most of the words are just between these two categories. For example "自然" means "nature", and "自" means "itself" and "然" means "happened". So "nature" means "it just happened itself". This is kind of make sense somehow but it is actually pretty blurred for most people.

Answer lies in the question I believe, non-business users don’t necessarily know the details and like to pick something that’s cross-platform to meet their business objectives. Practically having two different teams in sync needs extreme collaboration between them, often I have seen other extreme when logic and calculations are computed differently by different teams and users of each platforms were given different experiences. For most business apps, cross platform serves well enough. Easy to extend an web developer to build these apps than having to learn different platforms. Web platforms serves well over time. There exists a certain set of problem spaces when native apps are better. Let the needs drive the decision to choose the platform - would be the wiser option. End of the day business pays for these apps. (I am a full stack Dev.)
This reads like a condescending, "don't drink while pregnant, mkay?" (that's a southpark reference [0]).

If the doctor wanted to be more helpful, she'd point out why alcohol is so seductive for people -- male or female / pregnant or non-pregnant -- with metabolic problems: "Alcohol is a viable a substitute for carbohydrates for feeding nerve cells. Ethanol -> acetate -> ATP. Some research was published a few years ago about how the brains of heavy drinkers switch to running on acetate: [...]" [1]

It's not enough to tell women they shouldn't drink while pregnant: medical practitioners need to use the excellent tools and understandings they have to help people sober up.

Well, it's not the software side that's difficult. Generally, it's the user interaction story that's troublesome. In terms of games, it generally a question of console, mobile, and PC/Mac. In that sense, the size of screen, the controller and/or gamepad versus keyboard/mouse versus touch input. Each will give players different advantages than players on other platforms. It's a bit more difficult to do cross-platform game and keep it consistent, fun and fair - even more so for multi-player online games. If only it were simply a question of just porting the software, then we'd see a lot more of it, IMO.

Also, in regards to cross-platform frameworks and games: it's the additional latency, as well as the overhead (but almost certainly the latency) of any cross-platform compiler/library/framework that kills things. Games are right on the edge of a 12 millisecond per frame boundary (or less!) and every cycle usually counts for games these days (especially on limited mobile processors).
He did a talk at Google where he asserted basically the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsMydMDi3rI

Great talk by the way, he's an incredibly charismatic and well spoken story teller, also a consultant for the FBI and a successful businessman - which makes you think about just how important likability and charisma are both to being a successful social engineer and being successful in-general. People will let you stray pretty far from reality if they like you - Holmes, Abagnale, and apparently Troy Woody (at least to this poor girl). Eventually reality catches up, one way or another.
Of note is that the current mainland govt wasn't the one to start the simplification of Chinese characters, it start with the original Republic of China but was abandoned by Taiwan because it was associated with the Leftist side of the Republic of China as left-leaning and liberal Chinese scholars saw traditional Chinese as inhibiting Chinese education for the masses and promoted simplification.

Singapore and Malaysian Chinese also uses Simplified Chinese.
It's worth noting: as much as a low-quality source like this frames their headline as if devolving control to local government is an unalloyed good, the interplay between the policy of nested polities (eg city, state, federal) is a much more complex issue, and one that people come down on the other side of fairly often (as a simple, dramatic example, the repeal of Roe v Wade is considered to be a nightmare scenario for many here, and yet it's precisely a case of federal law restricting the ability of local govts under the aegis of protecting individual rights[1]).

I'm not expressing approval or disapproval of Lyft's actions, but I think it's worth pointing out what a low-quality source this is, given its reliance on leaning into the reader's biases right from the headline. Low-effort advocacy like this is almost never the best way to understand a topic, just as a libertarian think tank's hypothetical "Lyft protects consumers from authoritarian local govt's" headline wouldn't be.

[1] I know this is a complicated issue and I'm really not interested in getting arguing it on its merits; it's just a convenient, widely-recognized example that takes the jurisdictional form I'm describing here.
Many people in the Rust community use some sort of ECS in cases where something like a GC is needed. The whole point of ECS is that they work a lot like an ordinary GC runtime or an in-memory database, the underlying representation ensures that the system knows about all the "entities" that it needs to, and can reliably trace linkages between them. It might be easier to just use Go in cases where tracing GC is needed, though.

> Just reading a handful of books doesn’t really manage to train a student in a whole system of thinking.

Not everyone needs to be trained in a whole system of thinking. Does everyone need to know how to do brain surgery or navigate a difficult diplomatic situation?

There should be history students, and there always will be. What I'm pointing out is that having more history students is not necessarily better than having more people among the general public who appreciate the importance of history at a basic level and stop to think about it when they vote, for example.

> Do you have any suggestions?

Perhaps more historians should write popular books and give public lectures. But even better, I think historians should find a way to make their knowledge useful in different fields like journalism, tourism, art, law, etc.

For every academic who landed a tenure-track position and is too busy to do anything else, there are several Ph.D.s who are chronically un- or under-employed. I hope they stop wasting time trying to feed the exploitative machine that is the academic labor market, and start doing their own thing.

The greatest thing about the humanities is that it can be useful no matter what else you do. The best way to make others appreciate your knowledge of history, literature, or philosophy is to show them through the example of your own life how it helps you be a better person, as well as better at what you do.
Not just in deserts. Unless the rules have changed recently, one can camp for 14 days in National Forest or Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land for free before you are required to move. Exceptions are in very crowded areas (like a lot of California's National Forest near paved roads). These areas make up the majority of land many western states and some really beautiful areas. More and more locked gates are being put up to prevent access, but lots of old logging roads are still open.

Grab a good atlas for a state you want to travel in that has all the roads on it (like Benchmark) and just start looking at it. Find a place that looks interesting and go there. You can find amazing spots that way. Going to places found on "Ten Best" lists or camping magazines are the way to find a beautiful place with way too many people around.
> We'll never get a full-scale English equivalent of [施氏食獅史]

I think it's not just sugar. We want to single out a single culprit, but it's a multi-faceted problem. We are adapted to digest glucose and fructose, it could trace toxins in the process of making it, it could be a combination of lifestyle plus tons of fructose, it could be the disrupted circadian rhythm - nobody really knows. For sure, we've never had so much vegetable fat. According to Ray Peat, more than a gram of polyunsaturated fat is toxic and cancer-causing. According to a few of his followers, the desaturation of cardiolipin in mitochondria leads to instability and mitochondrial dysfunction, which is now recognized as the cause of many chronic diseases. I read that the iron overload, which replaces manganese with iron in the mitochondria is another possible culprit. Honestly, I have the gut feeling glucose is totally fine - even in large quantities. And Ray Peat thinks the same.

I just don't get what there is to despair about :) It's just a company that investors have judged is valuable based on the data they've seen. It's no big deal.

To some of your points:

- Communication is about as important a function as there is. Nothing else happens without it. Indeed it's one of the main reasons satellites exist.

- We can argue about whether Slack's communication service is important/good/valuable, but at the end of the day it's a waste of both our time; the market doesn't care what you or I think or say, it only cares what consumers/companies use/buy, and revealed preferences indicate that many people/companies use it and pay for it, and that's the whole reason it has a high valuation.

- A few posts on HN about people stopping using Slack tells us little; HN is a narrow audience, and people who write posts about stopping using popular products is orders of magnitude narrower again.

- I expressed no value judgements about whether or not Slack is good thing and investors don't either; they just care that it's a successful business that will likely keep getting more successful.

- That said, I understand why they make that assessment; I'm in around 10 different Slack instances across all the different projects and networking groups I'm in. I neither love it nor hate it. I don't spend much time in it most of the time. I use it when I need to and don't use it when I don't, and it's no big deal.

- But it's now always the go-to product people fire up when a new project or collaboration group comes together. It is now the default product for that type of communication. I couldn't name a viable competitor these days, and I've been online and working in tech for 20+ years, and have used IRC, Campfire and HipChat in the past, as well as others I don't remember.

So, none of this should be surprising. It's just a popular product that investors want to invest in. The valuation of other, different kinds of companies is totally irrelevant!

My experience is the opposite. Every application that's more complex than a guitar tuner starts to lag after it's been open for too long or when I'm viewing too many resources at once: Web browsers, website-specific browsers (e.g. reddit clients), mail clients, IM apps like telegram, etc.

Responsiveness is one of the most important aspects in a mobile app. It makes the difference between getting the job done and wanting to smash my phone with a hammer.

I played with the idea to do that with H264 streams. This was done with FFmpeg and FFplay. The idea is that you read stream packets from the source and feed it to the decoder, so there is a clear point where you can inject glitching. Because it's difficult to unpack a stream packet, modify it and repack it, I ended hacking the decoder itself. While I had some similar results, I failed to produce something easy to use.

Color me naive, but I'm always confused why those troubled by the lobbying criticize the influencers instead of the influenced. The influenced aren't some innocent party here. Surely it is more reasonable to act in the best interest of your company as a lobbyist than it is to act against your constituents as a politician. Where is the scathing letter directed towards the writers/signatories/supporters of the bill in question? The reason you see this one is simple PR as a city lobbies for their way at the state level just as Lyft lobbies and they know anti-big-company is an effective tactic.

If the city of Portland has a problem with the state of Oregon, then that's where the politicians need to hash out their issues.

Lulz...what kind of terrible spin is that. I would be ashamed if I voted for this guy. Lyft doesn't pass laws.
Alike a tracing GC..,.
The most infuriating part of the state legislative preemption is that it was very obviously not necessary. Within days of the departure of Uber and Lyft there were competing services that operated just fine under the new regulations.

I won’t speak to whether the regulations were necessary or effective, but when the companies argued that there was an undue burden being imposed that would make it difficult to do business and then we witnessed the very opposite happen (smaller companies such as Fasten and nonprofits such as RideAustin were able to do just fine with the regulations), it sure made it smellier when the legislature came in and deemed it necessary to overturn the regulations.

The numbers have to be fairly close because they're in the same economic system. Furthermore, Sweden's numbers are included in the average as well.
In a language with tracing GC, you'd use a strong reference in both directions, so anybody who holds the child can always walk their way to the root (if you expose those references). Without such GC, you basically have to pass the root around, because it's what's holding all those children alive.
This is an easy problem to solve. Keep a to-do list for down times - small tasks that are not too urgent/important, but can save time in the long run.

If you absolutely can't find anything to do in your task list, then you could do one of these two - first : find a colleague who needs help and help them. Second, keep a diary (or text file) and learn something new that is specific to your job/company. In my case, I work on a mid sized webapp, I know probably 30% of the application - so I make it a point to learn something small here and there, and it adds up over a period of time. Yes, I am aware that this knowledge is useless if I leave this job, but until then it is very useful.
