> The protesters get what they want: this is the Chinese government's evil plan

The protesters didn't get what they want hence are considering further protests. Whether they are wise or not was my point.

There's no absolute but...

Imprisoning over a million Uighurs for their religion, and disappearing people for their political beliefs is evil, so yes, the chinese gov't is evil in that sense.

Let's look at your prior history:

"Also, the UK is extremely famous for intentionally or unintentionally leaving a mess when it leaves..."

"Little did I know about all the ignorant and arrogant comments I was about to see. The West needs a new enemy"

"The average westerners only want to accuse China so they can feel good about themselves for a while"

Anything to declare?

Nothing counterintuitive about these results. Anyone who has ever exercised knows that he has to switch things up if he intends to keep breaking the plateau either for strength or weight loss.

Our body is incredibly good at conserving energy which is why we feel less tired running 5kms daily after a while.

Only interesting point is the barrier on how quickly we can reach this efficiency with the limitation of how much fuel we can consume.
Shelters are full of dogs for different reasons. I fully support adopting shelter dogs, but it is a pipe dream to think that folks are going to stop buying breeds. Not only that, but there are good reasons to choose a particular breed since they do have different temperments and so on.

Not all breeders are equal, and part of the blame is on lack of animal welfare laws, enforcement of such laws, and overly strict breed measures in some areas. Believe it or not, some of the breed regulations are different in different countries [1]. Not only that, but you can't really tell if a puppy is going to be a champion show dog. Most folks don't actually care and only want the breed. Barring physical or tempermental issues, it isn't as likely that the breeder puts them in a home.

Puppy mills are a real problem in the US - again, laws and enforcement should help. I have little hope for these laws being passed in all states since we do poorly enforcing this stuff with farm animals.

Slack is a productivity killer and whatever they are doing next is certain to be annoying. People ping each other asking questions instead of reading docs. People have calls instead of figuring it out. Annoying people just can’t resist the temptation of @here.

It wouldn’t be so bad if I could customize my experience but Slack fights hard against this. They claim one size fits all, if it’s annoying then it’s a cultural issue.

This is great. I wanted to do something similar so that I could render Django templates in native JSX.

Yeah, I don't want to get bogged down with irrelevant semantics. My point is that you're saying no moral judgement can be placed on human behavior because humans don't have free will, but such a judgement can be placed on society. How do you square this? Are you saying a society has free will, but the humans it's composed of don't?
VB6 gets a lot of stick but it’s easily the best environment for rapidly prototyping and development ever created.

Some of Borlands IDEs had the same power for prototyping by C++ and Delphi weren’t as great for rapid development (though I have nothing against those languages themselves).

The closest thing we have these days is Electron but I don’t think that even comes close to ease of development once you factor in the clusterfuck of a mess modern web development is.

VB scripting is the de-facto macro language up to MS office 2014 (I don't really know about later versions). It can instantiate COM objects within the windows environment and through those, parse xml, create json, call web services and connect to databases. It is one of the reasons why VB still exists in the industry.

That's because ECT and TMS don't work and have never been proven to be safe and effective by clinical trial. They were "grandfathered in" by the FDA but don't actually work and cause memory loss amongst other terrible side effects. See http://emord.com/blawg/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/1-ECT-Citi...

Occasionally I still touch VB.NET, but to be fair it is more related to migrate code from old VB6 into .NET world.

As info, I used Timex 2068 Basic, 48K Basic, GW-Basic, Turbo Basic, AMOS, GFA Basic, QBasic, QuickBasic and VB as well.

And yes, with the native code compiled versions of Basic it was even possible to do system level like programming back then.

So Basic has a special place for me, even if I barely used today.

Also ignore the naysayers about VB.NET vs VB6, there are plenty of features that are comparable, usually what was left behind were GW-Basic and QuickBasic compatibility features.

Just think that even F# doesn't have the amount of platform love that VB.NET enjoys on VS tooling.

That's a total stretch, lens is not used in GHC for example and lots of other smaller compilers written in Haskell. It is used in Ermine but that is stuck in a semi complete state for a while now and Ekmett has moved on.
As you already hinted, SABs have been widely disabled. Chrome is currently the only browser who has SABs and therefore the only browser with support WebAssembly threads.

Professional MacOS developers, before OS X was born, did not use a command line at all, so Photoshop was created by amateurs?

Same applies to developers on Amiga and AtariST, also less professional?

Or what about Windows developers, that hardly bothered with cmd.com, doing their scripting via VBScript/JSCript and everything else via Visual Studio, as it was common practice until PowerShell, with its PowerShell IDE sprung into existence, also a bunch of amateurs?

Don't judge professional developers on other platforms with UNIX glasses on.

You say "not at all", but only cite Rust (which I didn't mention). C++ has horiffic error messages, certainly at the level of a bad Haskell error message.

I'd say my point stands pretty well.
Thanks for the input.

I remember coming across GraalVM. However, as I solo developer, I have found learning another new thing to be detrimental to my ability to getting things done. I have wasted way too many hours learning new frameworks, languages, platforms, etc.

Why do you say that the ABC intentionally misreported the situation? An ABC journalist live-tweeted the execution of the search warrant and claimed that he was the first to live-tweet an AFP 'raid' [1], which I think is valuable public interest journalism. I thought the reporting was accurate, although the journalist's commentary does presume that the media deserves special treatment, because of its role in our democracy and the potential chilling effect of the law as written on whistleblowers. This is a fair assumption and it's obviously popular with journalists, but I think the ABC would publish a contrary view if a credible writer wanted to put it forward.

Restrict the students from using a parser library. I get that. But allowing nothing except that standard library? That’s stupid.

It also makes the language comparison useless. Python has a standard library that is continuously improved and people reach to that when writing programs. Haskell, like C, ossified it’s standard library when it was created and people use the external packages for equivalent up to date libraries.

Hm... well that might be true for extending, I'm not sure you've fully thought through that comment.

Duck types are great for writing new code, but they're very troublesome for refactoring; automated tools have a much harder time automating that process.

Refactoring data structures and implementations in static type systems is bother considerably easier
to implement than in dynamic languages, and resultingly, more robust.

Certainly the refactoring tooling these days is pretty sophisticated with type inference, but... well, I've refactoring large python and javascript code bases, and my experience has been that absolutely a static type system makes that process easier, even if you have a comprehensive test suite.

I think it's worth acknowledging that there is a place for static type systems; certainly, it's not a silver bullet, and it results in (usually) a higher lines-of-code count, which is significant; but its naive and wrong to suggest that it has no value at all.

Specifically, for refactoring, it has a lot of value.

I have been using Xojo (Former REALBasic) for about 10 years to code database-driven business apps for several businesses with great success.

I also use x86 asm, Rust, Racket, NewLisp, Scheme, C, Python, JavaScript and shell script (sed, Perl etc) for other clients and uses. Xojo lets me compile for Win, Mac, Linux from the same install, the syntax is delightfully simple to use and to teach. Performance beats interpreted languages (LLVM-based), it compiles to standalone bins that do not rely on .NET, unlike Visual Studio. When I need more power I simply embed a lisp (Chicken or NewLisp) as the provided FFI works well. I’m currently writing a new IDE for NewLisp with Xojo and it’s handling UTF8 like a champ.

Xojo is very mature and most of the bugs have been squashed long ago, I just wish it treated functions as first class citizens. Apart from that, for internal business apps and retail-quality Win/Mac UI apps, I honestly haven’t found anything more effective to go from prototype to binary quickly and painlessly.

It’s our secret weapon, and clients don’t care it isn’t mainstream. Now if one could come up with a similar IDE coupled with a lisp... DrRacket + MrEd come close, but for large projects it becomes a pain. Until then I’ll write basic code for basic business apps. For everything else, there’s a lisp.

I'd like to preface this by saying that I don't consider threats to national security to be something that is a journalistic rights issue.

That said, in this case we haven't had a magistrate order a journalist to reveal who their source was, so journalistic source confidentiality hasn't been breached. Instead we saw a portion of a slow, deliberate and year-long investigation by the federal police with no pressure placed on the journalists themselves - either in the form of arrests or coercion to reveal secrets. So this still wouldn't be a journalistic rights issue.

I'm generally very curious about the internal lives of all people around me. I don't think that being rich makes, on average, one more or less interesting.

My best and biggest projects were written in GfA-BASIC. This language was both very productive, and fun to use.

I could also predict exactly how each line would be translated by the compiler, and that enabled interesting hacks and optimization techniques.

Kinda like Ruby, BASIC let you express what you want in an intuitive way rather than constantly try to work around the restrictions imposed by the language. There are many ways to do the same thing. None is good or bad.

When it comes to being fun, expressive and productive, Ruby is the only language that comes close to BASIC.

> China has made it abundantly clear for a long time that it considers the US to be an ideological enemy, a military rival and a target for economic and geopolitical warfare.

Not true. China is only interested in preserving its own authoritarian system. China feels fine to coexist with other forms of government, democracy or monarchy. It may influence other countries to advance its business interest, but never attempt to overthrow a government for ideological reasons. What you said only shows the US considers China an ideological enemy, but not the reverse.
So why not just group people by email address? The public email providers can just have their own group as do the private ones, and if people wanna join the gmail group for some reason... who cares?

Thank you for the link.

I'm not sure I'm convinced by OpenAI's claim that their model performs
zero-shot learning. It depends on what exactly do they mean by zero-shot
learning. My understanding, from reading the linked article (again; I remember
it from when it was first published) is that, although their GPT-2 model was
not trained on task-specific datasets there was no attempt to ensure that
testing instances for the various tasks they used to evaluate its zero-shot
accuracy were not included in the training set. The training set was a large
corpus of 40 gigs of internet text. The test set for e.g. the Winograd Schema
challenge was a set o 140 Winograd schemas (i.e. short sentences followed by a
shorter question), so it's very likely that the training set had comprehensive
coverage of the testing set, for this task anyway. I don't know about the
other tasks.
Yes, I've heard that too. But in our rewriting case, it didn't happen. We didn't make that mistake. Usually, developers made a lot of mistake in the first version and they learned many lessons. Now they are experienced about software and they will try to implement everything in the 2nd version. And they will come up with the complex system again. In our case, we cut off many features and we kept our code base small.
