Unity is in the process of moving more of their codebase into C#, backed by some in-house compiler work, yes. And they did indeed use C# extensively before then for game scripting, even if not exactly 'pure' or high performance in the same sense.

The work in Unity's Burst/HPC# is very recent, though, and the CoreCLR/language features I rely on in bepuphysics are still pretty obscure. I wouldn't expect most people outside of the weird niche I live in to know about the ecosystem's progress.

In other words, I was just trying to get an unaware visitor to raise an eyebrow.
Additional time axes allow you to separate transactions from different sources of input. E.g. in a collaborative system it could be helpful to ask questions while rewinding the actions of a particular user.

But a different question is whether the system can do something useful for you with first-class time co-ordinates, compared to just stuffing additional timestamps into your data. (something useful being clever indexing, compaction, maybe more?)

Also Amazon cut the prices on everything at Whole Foods by like 50% a few months after buying them. I completely agree their prices before (and still on non-whole-foods brand items) are crazy.

I'm in an apprenticeship for this large company in the Bay Area. Me and another apprentice are building an app over the next couple of months. I know that they hired us and expect us to not know anything but I can't help but freak out right now. I'm waaaay overwhelmed by what we're building. There's so much shit I have 0 clue about and this weekend I spent it all in my room reading docs and doing tutorials hoping I can somewhat understand how i'm gonna do xyz feature.

I don't know how I'm gonna manage this, after this app we're gonna be working with a team and i'm so nervous I won't be able to complete tickets and of being incompetent.

Someone tell me they've been through this before and made it out. This weekend was so rough for me mentally and emotionally.
> eliminate private ownership of land

Read up on the phenomenon called "the tragedy of the commons" [1] to learn why this is a terrible idea.

For even more of an idea on where this can lead you can have a look at the 'Talk' page for the same Wikipedia topic [2] which shows an editing war on the very definition of the topic. Shared ownership does not imply shared stewardship as is made clear by the actions of some of the more vociferous Wikipedians.

Not op, but outside of C++, C# is probably the widest deployed language (on the CPU) in the game industry by virtue of the Unity engine.
I'm not sure how well one can justify the claim that blocking social media is an effective means to prevent violence. As one example, people highlight the role that social media has played in religiously motivated violence in India. But violence has been worse without social media, no one can pin the blame for the 2002 Gujarat riots (perhaps better called a pogrom) on social media.

> So if the government knows that e.g. Henry Bemis is a known trouble-maker, it is easier to monitor his phonecalls, emails, SMS and find out what are his next steps of this bomber/terrorist/whatever. If Henry Bemis is using Signal, WhatsApp, Twitter DMs, Facebook messages, etc. it is easier to coordinate the next steps of an attack, awaken sleepers etc. without the government's security forces to be able to react equally fast.

So in other words, the elimination of social media's primary value lies not in the fact that it stops speech that calls for violence, but in the fact that it enhances the government's ability to conduct population-wide surveillance. So your underlying point is that better government surveillance is what stops violence, and elimination of social media serves to enhance government surveillance.

Ask HN: How to learn front-end development as a back-end web developer?
Hi, maybe it's best starting with a book/course about plain Javascript, as I always feel overwhelmed by all those Javascript frontend frameworks (or typescript)!?

That said it would probably be best to write code in Kotlin and simply transpile it to Javascript ;-)

Any recommendations?

Happy easter :-)

Getting started was (really) hard. There are agencies out there who enable the connection between the researcher and consumers for a fee. These agencies usually have a directory of people who volunteer for this type of research work.

It also helps to build a network, for starters I partner-up with many prominent content producers on YouTube and Twitter and pay them a small fee for introductions.

I also pay the people I study on the field (but not always, some are happy to help once they understand what it's for). A lot say no, but you only need a few yes. It's about drawing insights from a small set of data.

Chinese articles get flagged/removed from the frontpage all the time as well, and you'll see articles critical of the US and other governments/countries on the frontpage every day. There's no greater conspiracy, the only difference is that almost all Chinese articles mention USA, whereas almost no US/European articles mention China..
In my native Sweden (where it can be quite sunny in summer but not so much in winter) there is a concept of a "care tree", living up close to the manor of a yard of farm. [0] (link in Swedish, sorry, perhaps try Translate)

I am now living in Monrovia, Liberia, where you will often find large trees for shade, often mango, sometimes moringa or coconut. There's also a bougainvillea shading a bench in every village between Monrovia and Yekepa. :-)

Edit: I also want to mention the concept of agroforestry [1], a part of permaculture agricultural design principles, where trees (often fruit bearing) are used with lower vegetation, shrubbery and crops, creating a food forest. Incidentally, this is what farms often look like in West Africa, with coconut, banana, cocoa, papaya, cassava, etc growing intermingled on the farmland.

We make fun of the leaders and the systems all the times. Most private comments in my close circle are pretty critical(“wtf is this brainwashing Xuexiqiangguo app”). And I think overseas Chineses could show up as more patriotic than they were in China, because most of us had never been discriminated even slightly before or ever heard so many bad news for their motherland. Chineses overseas are also pretty self-proud, we probably don’t like hear some meme too many times.

To be clear, there's the Chinese government and then the Chinese people. The Chinese government is criticized when it abuses the Chinese people. The idea that the Chinese government cannot or should not be criticized, is to say that it is acceptable to abuse the Chinese people.

While they may live in another country, they still deserve all of the rights and liberties that all human beings deserve.

The Chinese government should be criticized when they do things that infringe on the natural human rights of the Chinese people... just as any other person or government should also be criticized.

>Private insurance, for all its bad rep, has very strong incentives to have proper utilization. More so than government: when a patient gets hospitalized, insurance loses money.

"when a patient gets hospitalized, insurance loses money...." and the patient gets the treatment they need. you seem to have forgotten that part.

"Proper utilization", in a private sense, is the same as "maximize shareholder value". Anything that damages shareholder value is not "proper".

Sick people have very strong incentive to want treatment. HEALTHY people have very strong incentive to want treatment for sick people. Private insurance has very strong incentive to take in as much money and pay out as little as possible.

"Collectively organize and resist"? That's really not what Chinese politics looks like, either today or in the foreseeable future. It's not just that the vast majority of Chinese are quite apathetic about politics (though they definitely are) - most of them nowadays think the government is actually doing a pretty good job, all things considered. And they're even less inclined to think that rocking the boat in any way would be a good idea. Now, these overtly-expressed positions might change, and even quite suddenly (that's just about the only difference censorship makes - you're not going to see any gradual shifts or impending warning signs), but only if there's some sort of crisis that prompts such a change; they're not going to change on their own.

> but that they are more collectively minded and put less value in "individual freedom"

Chinese people aren't drones. They don't have a hivemind to tell them what is good for them. Sacrifice for the country might be a thing during Mao's period, but I am not seeing it in nowadays' young generation.

On the contrary, I think Chinese people believe less in the collective good. If the problem isn't your own problem, then it is everyone's problem, then it is no one's problem. That is why in so many situations, government becomes that last resort to figure stuff out.

'The mountains are tall, and the emperor is afar', as the old Chinese sayings goes. The ruthless authoritarianism and primitive freedom co-exist in China's case.

There is pressure to conform, but only because not doing so, there will be pain. 'The bird who extends out its head most gets shot first', as they always say.

Confucianism might be what the world, even China itself thinks about itself, how it is ruled upon. But Fajia (Legalism) is what actually gets executed in real life.
Online Environmental Protesting
Has anyone been following these Extinction Rebellion protests?

I think it's a terribly important cause. We only have one planet and companies and governments are mostly only interested in GDP and profits, at the expense of other species, us and the planet.

Shouldn't there also be a real force of hand with massive coordinated DoS protests against companies damaging the environment and governments with poor environmental policy etc?

I think so.

Ask HN: How do you run Linux tools on macOS
I've been using Linux on my MacBook for several years and now I'm considering switching back. However, there are lots of tools (mostly command line) that I used, and from what I remember, a lot of them had little quirks, installation was from times to times cumbersome, sometimes they'll bug on something etc, etc. That's why I thought about running Linux directly - preferably with access from terminal. I don't suspect that I'll need to run GUI apps. Filesystem synchronisation is a must though (I would appreciate if macos root filesystem was mounted somewhere, and conversely, linux root is mounted somewhere).

I would like to avoid VirtualBox and other traditional solutions, as they bring much overhead. What are some reliable setups?
For all the stretched comparisons about how safe nuclear can be, the technology is a liability which requires great care and expense to keep secure and safe.

Its promotion was competing with and obstructing the promotion of renewables for over a decade past, but its moot now that in the past couple of years the price performance of renewables has become unassailable. There's no point promoting nuclear anymore and arguing about how safe nuclear has been or could be - its more expensive already than wind and solar, materially, environmentally, security-wise and economically. Wind and solar are still on a rapid improvement curve. Nuclear powered heat plants are not futuristic generation options, they're relics from the nuclear arms race.
