"because Chinese developers tend to "take take take" and not contribute anything back, ever."
It's not ture. For example, Siggraph is the best conference in the computer graphics field. In 2018, the number of papers that contain Chinese or ethnic Chinese is 45%.

Besides, many Chines and ethnic Chinese reasearchers are active in many frontier technology filed such as AI and Computer Vision field.

The acadimic and industry status and constribution of Chines reashers/company are increasing rapidlly.

Migration of any existing account data to ProtonMail is a complete disaster and to be avoided. Speaking from experience.
I'm kind of with you.

I think SPA's can be suitable (sometimes) for internal line-of-business applications, where you have a degree of control over the environment the end user will be using your application on (ie the device/browser (+version)/etc) and bandwidth isn't a big issue.

In this sort of environment, Angular can work pretty well.

For public facing applications, where you can't say with confidence that your end user will be on a modern computer, using a modern browser with a good internet connection, etc, you are better using a server-side rendering framework and progressively enhancing using something like Vue.js.

That's my 2 cents anyways.
Ah, thank you.

Interesting, yeah I would think a chrome device, or android, iOS, some sort of base level secure focused linux might be a better place. Especially not 'home' flavors windows.

I know some folks working with some medical stuff and they've all since moved off of windows onto Linux, not an easy move, but windows just didn't make sense as their software moved into more of an "embedded" (not sure if anyone uses that term anymore) type setup than a desktop connected to a machine like it used to be.
Yes and no. The theoretical "regular expressions" are indeed Type-3 grammars in Chomsky's hierarchy.

In practice, the common "RegEx" implementation implement a lot of extras, that break the theoretical backing, and also exhibit highly non-linear behaviors. Cf. this excellent paper by Russ Cox: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html
In some sense it does though. Type Theories (and their associated pure FP languages) often have the exact same algebraic structure as different classes of logic. To my understanding, JML uses Hoare Logic, which is a great tool for proving correctness of imperative languages, but is not quite as expressive. For example, Hoare Logic cant really deal with Higher-Order things. That's not to say Coq/Agda are perfect though. They do struggle with more "extensional" properties, such as function extensionality.
I have a BA in English and am a Senior Engineer at a Fortune 50 company.

But that's largely irrelevant because I have a varied background. When we got our first computer in 97 (when I was in 8th grade), I learned basic HTML and started doing Battlebots (was on the last season on Comedy Central) because of the internet. I was able to learn about the relevant aspects of mechanical engineering that applied to what I was trying to do, which then led me to doing that as a hobby for a few years, eventually landing an apprenticeship as a machinist at a shop that wanted to help pay for my college to become a mechanical engineer.

Spent my first two years getting an AA at a community college, getting burnt out on the trade. I had no financial help with my degree, and was the first in my family to go to college, so I was in new territory with understanding what I was doing. That's when I pivoted to becoming an English major, because I really enjoyed the elements of communication, critical thinking and art that the field offered.

I got my degree, then worked in non-profit for a few years. I started a website that grew into a successful SaaS, then eventually left non-profit to apply my skillset in software engineering to a career. I've been doing that for 7 years now.

The degree itself got me past all the HR checkboxes, but my personal interest in these fields (and the skills I learned along the way to earning my BA) are what led to me to where I am today.

That's all anecdotal, but the truth is that I needed a Bachelors degree--in anything--to be where I am today. Without it, I would've been shut outside of those closed doors.

Yep, same goes for Mail and Safari.

Sure you can install other browsers. But if you want to have website links open in Firefox or whatever, that relies on every single app that links come from implementing their own capability to launch a different browser for links (most of them never will), and then you have to set the default in each app.

Having done a stint on Android, I miss being able to pick default handlers for everything.
everyone must have way more upscale bars than i do. the 8 or so bars in a 5 mile radius from the house dont even have video cameras, let alone care who enters the bar (as long as they are over 21).

I can see where this would be helpful, but i can see most small bars not really caring as long as no one starts a fight.
Yes. Additionally they should design their architecture in such a way that means they are unable to comply.

> The US is struggling to convince their own allies that the threat is real

The US has to convince their allies that buying from China is more dangerous than buying from the US. I don't think anybody doubts there isn't a threat.
> It's also interesting to see the React community move towards some of the things that Angular has been doing for years: embracing TypeScript, extracting business logic to services (or you can call them Hooks), creating injectable shared state (or you can call it Context).

Huh? Hooks are just a way to use component lifecycle in absence of classes (note how React is pushing towards having components as functions as opposed to Angular's components as classes/objects). The new context api is basically just a replacement/improvement of the old context api, which has been in React for ages (React Router was built upon the old context api from get go), but has always been badly documented and considered a private interface, something you were not supposed to touch. As for embracing Typescript, the React community has extensively used static typing with Flow (since this is something that the React team itself uses) for a couple of years, which is very similar to Typescript.

Having CLI generators (such as create-react-app) is definitely something that React borrowed from other communities, but I am not sure whether Ember or Angular was the main influence.

That's a wild reframing of the run up to Iraq. Dick Cheney forced Joe Biden and Hilary Clinton to vote for the war? Democrats had a narrow majority in the Senate, and a majority of them voted for the war. They ran the intelligence committee, so they had plenty of access to the information at the time, and i give them enough credit to have made their choices independent of Dick Cheney's wishes.

> The real problem is that consumers want cheap but quality and security aren't cheap.

I think it's well accepted that there's high quality standards in China (there's the whole range of quality) - for drones DJI has been a reference for example.

But tech security is such an intangible thing that most of the population doesn't understand it.

And in all honesty it seems that there's no protocol, or standard procedure, or evaluation of tech goods that come to the market and must pass security testing.

For example, with GDPR, at least a framework came out for data protection and protocols were set in place. The adoption was and still is chaotic for a lot of organizations, and it has plenty of flaws - but it is indeed something that's working towards a goal.

So far, in terms of security, it's like there's nothing in place.
That would be really big! One can hope...
> get an account-specific banner

Can a canary work with that much specificity?

I might be very wrong here but I thought canaries were legal because they were generalized. A specific person couldn't be alerted that they were a target, they'd just know someone using the service was a target.
I guess because React insists on going against WebComponents, while everyone else is adopting them.

At least that is my understanding from Angular, Vue, Ionic, Svelte and plain VanilaJS point of view.
Yes, refuse and take it to higher court. The laws protecting privacy and these survalance laws contradict each other. The large providers in Switzerland are staying quiet but eventually will need to deal with this fact and laws will need to be changed.
On an individual level, I agree that graduates can overcome setbacks from particular degree choices. However, in aggregate it's not even close [1]. Studying a degree with few directly related jobs will cut your lifetime earnings in half in comparison to in-demand degree jobs.

What are Linode's legal obligations regarding real-time surveillance though? Is there any reason to believe they're any better than ProtonMail?

The reason I use Protonmail is that Swizerland can't be easily bullied by the US or similar countries into abusing their court system to illegally spy on people (unlike my own country).

If a Swiss judge decides that a specific individual should be surveilled, I am more inclined to trust that it is for good and legal reasons.

But the reality is grim for the majority of salaried tradesmen. It's a job that is very hard on your body and the heralded "fresh air" suddenly sounds a lot less nice when you have to do physical labor in intense heat or cold.

I agree. My father works up in Albertan north in temperatures anywhere from +30 to -50, and their schedule is 14 days work and 5 days off. No doubt it's getting harder on his body ( he is now approaching 60's).

It's posited that this planet kept its atmosphere despite intense solar radiation pressure because it either moved into this orbit recently from a safer place, or it had much more atmosphere to begin with. I wonder if maybe it just has a very powerful magnetic field that protects it, just like Earth's does.

That's the reason Earth has kept its atmosphere while Mars did not, despite the fact that Mars is twice as far from the sun.

Honestly, I think a lot of people in your position just lie about having a degree. I wouldn't recommend it though, the downside is large (and it's not ethical).

How about an online degree? At your level of seniority no one even cares about grades or how long the degree was. It's usually only: type of degree (bachelor's, Master's, etc), and if it's a well known school or not. I don't even go into detail about my degree, just where I went and what degree it was.

Jumping ship is really the only way to get a good raise in this business. Go to a bigger city if you have to so you have more choices. Really avoid the "tell us your salary history" trap.

If you get on with a good company, their healthcare plan should cover you from the unforeseen windfalls. Otherwise you could move somewhere that has a reasonable government healthcare program (semi serious here).

If you actually have a proven ability to provide value in an important capacity, that's actually quite bankable. Maybe have someone help you with your resume, and self marketing. You ought to be able to double your income (WAG here, I don't know what you do).

I've worked with folks in your situation - and I find it shocking how some people will accept being so radically underpaid. Research the market, what you're really worth, and stand up for it until you get it.
This is basically what I did as well. Worked, went to a nearby good state college at night and on weekends, CS major, no debt. Did as many classes as I could handle per semester. Initially I lived with my parents, but was in my own apartment later on. Worked out for me.

I actually doubt it in those two cases. Most religious people believe only because of tradition; they haven't confirmed it for themselves. Many religions convert people with fellowship (i.e. they are converted because they like the new friends they have made) or by using confidence tricks on vulnerable people to tell them what to believe. I doubt there are many that tell prospective converts to go out on their own and ask God and decide for themselves.

At any rate, I believe it worked for me and I believe anyone would come to the same conclusion given enough earnest searching.
Intel Replaces Compute Card with NUC Compute Element
What good papers have all this nonsense these days? I am subscribed to NYT and LA times, I read the occasional article from the atlantic or new yorker, and I've seen none of this. Good content is behind paywalls for a reason. It isn't there solely to draw in your eyes for ads, its there just to be good and informative content on its own right, and maybe if its good enough you'd be willing to chip in a little for the salaries of the full time staff that put that good content together for you. LA times and NYT are a dollar a week a piece, a drop in the bucket and well worth it imo.

Maybe your local news 5 or something small market like that is a dumpster fire, but publications that have shifted to the online subscription model are absolutely fine as they bank on their quality alone (unless my ad blocking has hid all this from me).

Thanks for this great example. I love MaxMSP and I participate in NYU ITP Camp every year where I am amazed at how many creative problems I can solve using MaxMSP.

If you don't mind sharing, what's the company that uses MaxMSP in their workflow? I love finding these creative examples and am curious for added context.
They are called classified ads if they are placed in the newspaper, as the primary purpose of the newspaper is to deliver the news, not sell things.

They wouldn't be considered ads if it was a dedicated medium intended primarily to facilitate the exchange of used goods (or whatever product). This is what I was referring to.

But even still, classified ads are an interesting case. They feel closer to a catalog than your standard advertisement.

The common conception is, like the person I responded to originally, that news outlets optimize for clicks and eyeballs in order to sell the most advertising. Many will cite "if it bleeds, it leads" as a mantra for news corporations that will do anything to get viewers.

That's just not how it works now, though. The narratives of the stories are what they're selling to you, and the advertising is secondary. It's something you can't unsee when you start noticing.

> This is true. However when a country is sufficiently developed it may no longer need religion. The functions that the Church used to provide (education, healthcare, charity) will be taken over by the State.

This is quite wrong - the main beneficial function of religion is to provide an institutional framework for enhancing social capital and the overall "sense of community", which is a critical antidote (far more so than "welfare" or even private charity) against social exclusion and marginalization for the most vulnerable in society. The only states which try to take over this function altogether are totalitarian states - in fact, even in many authoritarian or otherwise dysfunctional and unfree states, religion - at least at a "grassroots" level - tends to function in practice as a haven for civil society. The only institutions that even compete would be labor unions (in some places), and for obvious reasons these are far less universal in their overall outlook.
