Well, Xi stated explicitly that he demands absolute loyalty, being barred from leaving China is hardly news nowadays, but this certainly is a statement and warning made prior to the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests, in which universities palyed a seminal role.

A family in my small hometown had their 2 university sons vanished forever after that crackdown.

This is alarming. I think these kind of one-off things can feel somewhat boring or unimportant if it were some very underdeveloped tiny country with a small population.

But we're talking about a country with 1.5B people and a very sophisticated technology sector, a powerful military and a modern economy starting to act like a dictatorship.
So tempting to put a link to jwz.org here.

There is immense value to the intern just for being around; the biggest things software dev interns learn isn’t how to code: it’s how to code as part of a team. So check-ins, CI/CD, automated testing, daily meeting cadence, architecture discussions, backlog grooming, code reviews... all things they don’t teach you in school, and all things that you need to know to develop software in the real world.

Most kids right out of school are honestly pretty decent coders. The internship is more about the professional skills than the technical ones.
I'm not going to be strawmanned for the third time in this conversation.

If you want to look at it that way, you also should include the emissions/environment impact included in acquiring the oil, building refineries, the emissions during the refinery process, and the shipment of the fuel around the country.

Yes, we should.

As I said, so far it looks like the jury is still out. The problem with many of these reports, including much of last week's commentary on the study I mentioned and also including the source you linked to in the parent comment, is that the popular summaries are often light on key details so it's hard to make meaningful like-for-like comparisons based on the available reporting alone. And so far, it has often been remarkably difficult to track down and evaluate the primary sources behind a lot of these reports, on both sides.

It's also worth observing that some of these claims aren't necessarily contradictory. It's certainly conceivable (without seeing more data to confirm either way) that the average petrol/diesel vehicle in the US is relatively big and inefficient compared to those in say Europe or Japan. Meanwhile, the environmental impact of an EV is going to depend on how environmentally friendly the energy supplies ultimately used for charging are, which apparently varies dramatically across the US based on your linked source, and presumably varies elsewhere as well.

If our national power grids and/or local microgeneration facilities at homes and offices continue to move towards more environmentally friendly sources, and if the environmental costs of the batteries do not increase significantly as more EVs are produced, then it seems reasonable to assume that at some point it would become more environmentally friendly in terms of emissions to use EVs. So far, I see a lot of loaded arguments and cherry-picking from both sides of the debate, which makes it difficult to know whether we have yet passed that point in any given set of circumstances.
Disclaimer: As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I don't particularly like the term "SJW" for its pejorative connotations, but I'll use it since it's the established term in this thread.

It's not an opinion, it's true by definition†. SJWs are characterized by their propensity to group people according to their immutable characteristics (specifically race, gender, sexual-orientation, etc) and their specific†† treatments for each group (what each group is allowed to do, how negatively their group is to be portrayed, whether a group is allowed to be defined by its best members, whether a group is to be defined by its worst members, etc).

I suspect SJWs would object to the term "hierarchy"--instead they would say they are fighting white supremacy or other hierarchies; however, when you press them, it becomes clear that they are merely advocating for a different racial hierarchy (e.g., "you can't be racist against $RACE people").

†Obviously there is no formal definition; that doesn't mean that there is no definition

†† To be clear, I don't mean to say that SJW-ism is the only identity ideology, but rather it is a particular one which varies from the others by its specific ranking of identities and the affordances it makes for each ranking.
Right, it's the same basic problem, and a good pattern to solve it.

Having read your site, I was certainly aware of all the companion options you enumerated above. However, I did not see your above sentence "companion.uppy.io is really only meant for demo purposes and hence throws CORS errors if you'd try to use it for your own website" (or anything equivalent) anywhere on the site.

I realize that this sentence (while clear, accurate, and quite reasonable) takes a bit of polish to turn into a positive message which won't scare away potential users ;-)

Alternatively, maybe you could set up your demo server to accept requests from randos for exploratory purposes, but with a quota set low enough that it won't be abused for production?
You’re accusing me of things that I am not and inferring things that aren’t in anyway implied in my comments. We likely exist in very close proximity on the political spectrum and you’ve maybe made an assumption I am not because in your mind only those on the right can be against the bad behaviors described.

A lot of people who engage in SJW behavior are indeed good at heart. A lot I would argue are also being used by bad actors. That doesn’t make the bad behaviors okay or free from criticism. It’s a scary world where that becomes mainstream.
Many activities popular among men involve danger or risk. I would postulate that after the death of utilitarian and military horse-riding, the connotations of it changed. It became more of a leisure activity, and was largely supplanted by the faster, more utilitarian, more military car/truck/bike culture (at least in America). To your point about mid-20th century, I would suspect WWII had something to do with it.

Another poster also mentioned that it is less than comfortable for men. This is true. I would imagine it to be a serious motivation to switch to cars.
Euh, Xi is probably more educated than a lot of Western leaders. Considering the books on his shelve about machine learning/A.I. and his actions ( I do not condone/like them, but I don't underestimate him).

At least he's not spending halve of the day watching Fox and being mad on Twitter.

Edit: OP claimed things about Xi not being educated. Changed his comment without appropriate edit text...
The same for me. Zoom works well for me on Ubuntu Linux. IIRC, Google Hangouts works as well. Skype for Business I have had problems with.

I have primarily used Linux for 25 years. In recent years the only other program I had trouble with was that the Unity IDE would run on Ubuntu, but to compile and export a VR scene, I needed to use a Mac.

Noting the OP - I created a thesaurus site a few years ago - https://www.matchingwords.com . I tried to pay for Google Ads for it, but they said the site was "not unique enough" and refused my money. Well there was an aspect of the site that was somewhat unique, although not completely unique - I had integrated hunspell into the site, so not only would a word like "laugh" yield a result, so would "laughs" and "laughed". That still was not enough for them though.

Tangentially, the thesaurus backend work was something another project had needed and was done before the web site was put up. With that backend work done, I thought it would be easy to just put up a website so that the backend work could be used twice, so I put up the website.

>Which is of course bullshit since Rust allows you to provide a C ABI, hence creating language bindings is as simple as with C.

No, because C already uses the C ABI. You have to have a separate interface to your Rust code which uses the C ABI, and an uncomfortable transition point between C-land and Rust-land. This is definitely not as simple as it is with C.

In the few conversations I've had, it's always been revenue. This provides an incentive to spend lots of money on user acquisition, even if doing so means losing money (or not making as much).

I wish there were a standard assumption that if a business is profitable, then we use profit instead of revenue, and (crucially) use a much larger multiplier. It feels like I'm always having to remind folks that revenue ≠ profit, and that normal guidelines (we invest in companies with $X00,000 revenues) might need to be adjusted for smaller, breakeven or profitable businesses.

What an unfortunate blunder by Boeing.

Until this episode I was deliberately looking for 787's and such when booking international flights, despite what I had heard about the batteries, because I thought Boeing had to be just that much better than Airbus and their unintuitive UI's that I heard crashed AF447.

And now all that good will is gone.
Dart was born "for the wrong reasons" AKA replacing Javascript, it failed at it. The language itself is quite good, better than Go IMHO, but Go has the advantage of not requiring a separate virtual machine. The problem with languages is whether they get enough momentum so that a community can be built around them. A language without an extensive ecosystem is nothing.

Also since Go is "hypocritically Object Oriented", people can claim it's not an object oriented language and kind of write Go like classic structured programming such as C. But Go is OO. You can't write go without using interfaces for I/O.
> To put it another way; if you found out GNU coreutils were hosted on Window machines using IIS web servers then you would probably consider that the people making the software (or, certainly those hosting it) are ideologically at odds with the project and are hypocritical.

From a pragmatic standpoint, if (theoretically) running on Windows/IIS allowed the GNU coreutils project to save enough money to _actually further their goals_, I'd say they'd be foolish not to host that way.

When taking an ideological stance, there are practical considerations to consider. There will always be more and less effective ways to get one's point across.

Not on the point of access to personal information- my phone, and I would guess thousands of others, have and use a banking app, have contacts, etc. YubiKeys are similarly not constrained to one use case, and I, too, would be pretty irritated if someone bypassed my laptop's encryption by pressing tilde.

That's not to say that jailbreaking, or any other gaining of execution is inherently bad, it just depends on the use-case- as a teenager, programming on a Switch sounds great, while as a parent, the possibility of my kid gaining access to unlimited blood and gore, Konami code style, might turn me off the platform.

In Germany - where the bureaucracy is massive and mostly paper based - Deutsche Post the national postal company runs a similar service (https://epost.de). Works both ways, you can send and receive paper-and-envelope letters in digital form. The user interface is surprisingly modern and they do use https;) It even includes a DropBox-like storage space for your documents.
This comment doesn't really seem to make sense in context. Maybe you didn't realize that Valve makes Steam?
This is fantastic advice! Thank you for your input.
This doesn't really have much to do with the runtime. Certainly with a GC, programming would be easier, but I'm really talking about abstractions within the language. Rust already has language-integrated support for the Result monad. Rust doesn't have a general `do` syntax, but it has `?` which has made programming with the Result monad much easier. Can we think about the continuation monad and arrive at a new syntax that can ease this style of programming?

More so... there's a HUGE difference for your average ($70k/year USD) household income not buying a $10-20 CD, and not buying a $10,000 handbag. I'd say in this case it's FAR more inflated and that at LEAST 90% of those lost sales wouldn't even consider the actual, full price products in question.

When I was sworn in as an attorney, they had us sign a book in the courthouse as part of the ceremony.

Where did I say that? All I said is that it wasn't a clear political win because it could easily be framed as a jobs issue.
The word "passion" is charged these days, but as someone who has successfully completed a number of long journeys (opensource projects, sale of company, 15 years of cardio, etc.), I think that has been the key to my success. In other words, you have to love what you are doing and then your interests will dwindle less.

Even with love, it can be difficult to remain focused. A trick I do when I run is to constantly recalibrate my goals as I am going. If I am having a hard time a few miles in, I tell myself to get to the next quarter and then the next until it's a half. Eventually it's a mile and I start again if I need to or expand scope. I will apply this same technique to life and have found it can be very useful.

If you've tried all of those, consider the process of abstaining from something or extreme focusing for a set period of time, say drinking alcohol or performing a 1 min plank every day for 30 days. I will do these exercises and the feeling I get from them is similar to the dragging feeling at the final 25% of a project. It conditions you to push through it because at the end of the day, it's only 30 days.

And I guess as a catch-all, if you really want to see it through, make that your goal––To complete one single project from start to finish, no matter what.
I think I'll be the oddball here, and lightly agree with the gist of the comment. "Company" as per dictionary definition is "a number of individuals assembled or associated together; group of people" and in this context, "business" is at least equally as accurate, if not more so. Because you can be a "company" of chorus singers that go door-to-door giving out free song, but "business" much more precisely means you provide something in exchange for currency, either by yourself or as part of a larger group, and really "software" can be set up to be a "zero person" company, something capable of making money regardless of the people involved. That's something you can really sell.

I think the reason this comment is so disliked is because it's strongly worded as if the original word usage was a horrible, systemic mistake.

> we as a society need to stop

This is unnecessary. Sure, the vocabulary choice would probably be improved a bit with "business", but it really didn't take away from the story. If not for it saying "one-person" in the title, it might haven taken slightly longer to process "Oh, solo entrepreneur, got it" vs "small company with a few employees" - which is not totally insignificant. It's a bit of a difference between a personal choice that affects one person vs. a leader and some followers who are being taken down a different path.
It's almost always revenue, but I'm not sure why.

I'd pay more for a business doing $500k in revenue with $250k profit (50% margins) than a business doing $1M in revenue with $100k in profit (10% margins).
Unfortunately this reads like wishful thinking.

Let's not get carried away. There is plenty of scientific basis for testing on other mammals.

Hell, most of our knowledge of genetics comes from work done on fruit flies. Many key immune pathways like TLR (Toll-Like Receptors) would have come to our attention later if it wasn't for research in fruit flies. Obviously though, we have lots more in common with mice than with flies. Hence, it's worth it.

The problem you're describing has more to do with journalists over-hyping scientific results than the utility of said results.
Right, thanks!

It wasn't even "wireshark", but simply a telnet session indeed.
The fact that you disagree with "traditional" gender stereotypes does not mean they have not held true for large parts of history. The reasons for this are debatable, as are its merits, but it is still a part of history.
Or even fixed-on-a-pole rotors.

The fans they were likely talking about are probably the horizontal-style fans you see in orchards for (mainly) frost prevention (they look like small windmills).

But why not very large rotor fans - maybe mounted HVLS fans, perhaps a bit larger, and maybe spinning a bit faster. Surely something like those would be cheaper to install and run 24/7 - assuming they worked as well?

All I see is you're getting very defensive. Even if you are left or centrist, even as I read your reply, it's probably that you take the behavior personally. My reply was not to assume a right-winger, my reply is more along the lines of "why do you have this negative reaction?"

If you object, let it be known, ask for clarification. Perhaps the person you object to will open their mind to your concern too. Assuming "SJW" and ending it there is to keep the misunderstanding going.
Thank you for this gracious response. I recognize that the term's colloquial use is far broader than I implied. Frankly, I think it's a gross mischaracterization of events, and erases real history to use it that way.

As for the "systemic" nature of historic witch-hunts, fruitful research efforts would uncover "Malleus Maleficarum", the textbook for engaging in witch-hunting. I believe the continent-wide application of a uniform methodology—especially when funded by the preeminent institutional authority—qualifies as systematic.

Sections of "Witches, Midwives, and Nurses" by Dierdre English and Barbara Ehrenreich explain its historical use. Their research reveals with-hunts to have been a far cry from "murdering anybody you don't like."
In my experience you have to have a constant stream of motivation flowing throughout your journey be it in form of revenue generated, excitement from milestones reached or whatever else it might be you have to find what drives you and make sure you get constant dose of it. What I think a lot of people believe mistakenly is that the rewards must be huge, but the way motivation works can just be based on small rewards as long as there are many of them and not too far in between.

Other examples of reward can be publicity you receive about your product, growing prestige you gain among your peers on a regular basis, number of growing users and their dependence on your product, etc.

What must never stop is 100% focus on the market you are in it’s ok to deviate from the original product, but never ok to change the field/vertical you are in, that’s what demotivates, you are no longer moving forward in one direction but changing direction and not making much progress in one particular direction so you might as well start something completely new, thus “feel bored”, ...
