Not so sure about that. For example there’s this German TV show that lasted 6000+ episodes over the last 20 years, with popular science content (at least originally). It’s known by almost everybody and it is called Galileo, not Galilei.

Oh, a simple misunderstanding! I was arguing against the central bank controls on interest rates that have so distorted to the property market. Glad we cleared that up!

In fact, my post said nothing about interest rates currently being set on a free-market basis, because the whole point was that central bank interventions are distorting and setting those rates in a way that generates huge inflation in the property markets that is then treated as insignificant for purposes of calculating inflation statistics. Property inflation --> Rent inflation. Concentration of wealth + Rent inflation --> Rent control | Homelessness.

You know, I'm not opposed to the butterfly mechanism itself. I want my keys to be stable and accurate and it looks like this is better than the old scissor type. However, I would like a nice feel when typing and don't want a piece of dust to disable my keyboard. Can't the butterfly mechanism satisfy those requirements as well?
Even though I've jokingly been told I may be on the spectrum due to my difficulty relating to some emotions, I was under the impression that autistic children usually have speech delays and don't really want human attention, which definitely wasn't the case for me - I just didn't want human _affection_ as a kid, but was perfectly happy to talk and bug my parents to play games with me.

Either way I fear I'm going down a path of the kind of self-analysis that is best left to a professional, so I'll leave it at that and enjoy feeling well-adjusted even if it's all an illusion :D
This is just alarmist. The bravado shown on TV is surely not taken seriously by the authorities themselves for they know the consequences. So even if the point of impact coincides with the crescendo of tension to the T, sanity will prevail despite it seeming otherwise.
At the very end author compares hong kong island to langkawi portraying lankgawi as some unatractive island and that hong kongers should be happy they are connected to mainland. This is where I started look more critical at the whole article having been in those islands before myself - it was a great reality check that you have read everything very critically these days.

I recommend everyone not only to check google images how langkawi look like but even more recommend to go there for a holiday [1]. It's called 'bali of malaysia' and popular tourist destination. Very close to another great malaysian island - penang.

Author says "You can rent this island for 99 years and start to develop your economy." I would happily rent it for even 10 years if the price is right!

It's extremely easy to find a job in Chinese cities, generally speaking. There's lots of jobs for jobs sake - most restaurants have far too many staff, and there's lots of security guards everywhere who run away at the first sign of real trouble.

Regarding homelessness, it definitely exists, although differently from the US etc. If you go into a 24hr McDonalds or KFC you'll see lots of homeless people slumped over tables sleeping because nobody there will kick them out. It's also very common to see homeless people congregating in the lower levels of major railway stations at night.
In Emacs you have to actively evaluate expressions (i.e., C-x C-e). This IDE apparently will evaluate highlighted expressions without interaction on the user's part. That said, you could easily write an elisp routine to do the same (evaluate region when point and mark set).

I use it sometimes. For household use I pretty much agree: my partner has Alexa set up to turn lights on and off, and it only works about 70% of the time. Apple doesn’t, I think, say it’s Siri which is running this keyboard which I am using right now to “write” this content, but I assume the voice recognition engine is the same one, and it’s significantly more useful than Alexa. For example the only edits I have made while dictating this have been where I change my mind about what I wanted to write, not any transcription errors. It is certainly much more useful, when I wish to take notes, than the on-screen keyboard.
Benefits and Risks of Clinical Calculators
Homelessness in China is visible and universal, but you have to know where to look. There's a lot of shame associated with it, just like disability (I'm sure you've probably noticed you don't see many disabled people in China either). https://aeon.co/essays/what-is-life-like-for-disabled-people...

I fundamentally reject that filial piety is the reason for this (filial piety causes all sorts of other social problems, too).

People in Confucian cultures hide things they see as shameful to protect their 面子.

If anything, I think this indicates there are far darker unseen truths in Chinese society that we are insulated from through the 'face' system.
It was absolutely a thing, and the best example is that the old Indo-European word for bear is eradicated in Northern European languages, because it was thought that the true name of the animal would summon it, and bears were not something you wanted around.

So instead of using the taboo name, everyone used the noa name for the animal, a euphemism, which is why "bear" actually means "the brown one". In Slavic languages, a common euphemism the "the honey eater" - "medved".

The original word exists in Southern European languages, "ours" in French, "orso" in Italian, coming from "ursus" in Latin, and "arctos" in Greek.

Another example is the word for wolf, which exists in that form in most European languages (wolf, ulv, vlk, lobo), but in Swedish the common word is "varg", which is a noa-name, a euphemism, meaning cattle-killer. "ulv" still exists in Swedish, but is seen as an archaic fairy-tale word

You only get the same amount of API trips as graphql if you support the use case of every current API user. And the one that will start tomorrow. And one after that. Etc.

The great thing here is that you don't have to anymore - you automatically support them all (or close to). And if it saves you from writing and documenting each of those new endpoints, that's a win at least in development time for me.
Client-API round trips matter, because the latency is very high. API-DB latency will be much lower, so the number of round trips there is less important. GraphQL allows you to query any nested structure in one Client-API round trip, but there may be many API-DB round trips per query.

Which made it a great title for one of my all-time favorite SF novellas by Vernor Vinge. The connection was that if you were doing stuff you weren't supposed to be doing and the authorities found out who you were in the real world, you were toast.

Thanks for this article!

> the connection between await as an operator and sampleas an operator is deeper than you might think.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Await plays the part of "specialized haskell like `do`" with tasks being a continuation monad (and co-monad). `sample` does the same playing the same role of "do" - where is the "deeper connection"?

I would actually be OK with it, as long as I can objectively say that even though someone is slacking most of the time, he/she is very productive in short bursts, so the overall productivity is on par with the team average.

The problem is that if you don't have an objective approach to evaluating productivity, all sorts of biases come in, e.g. if I see someone coming to the office at 11am and leaving at 4pm, I would subjectively rate their productivity lower, even though objectively the results might be the same as for someone who comes in early, and leaves late.

Not the OP but I have one that's collecting dust. I've chosen single profile keycaps for it (the keycaps have the same "shape" for every rows) because I wanted to use the Colemak layout, but I was never able to get used to it.

To be honest didn't tried too much. I also have an old Kinesis Advantage model, the one with the rubber function keys (I hate them, the Advantage2 has new function keys but they still look cheap membrane buttons) anyway I'm quite satisfied with a TECK 209, it's not perfect but it's more portable than the Advantage if I'm on the go.

I suppose the next one to try would be a Maltron.

Obesity and many of those issues don’t really have much to do with food quality. A lot of it is due to nothing more than overeating.

Going to China and eating with Chinese people, it’s a very easy thing to do. Chinese food portions can sometimes make American food portions look downright tiny—and a lot of it is colossal chunks of meat with vegetables.
Algorithms and why they are important for interviews
State and/or municipal authorities could be tasked with generating identifiers and signing them cryptographically, so that any voting station can verify whether a given identifier is genuine. The federal government doesn't need to keep a central registry of all identifiers, only a list of public keys used by states and municipalities.

Obviously I'm not aware of any country doing things in such a convoluted way. But if Americans really don't want there to be a central registry of everyone's identity, modern computer science and cryptography could help.

HK courts would have decided whether to extradite to the mainland in the same way they do now when deciding whether to extradite to the US or any other country HK has an extradition treaty with.

China has also extradition treaties with some western countries. Does that mean that e.g. France is no longer 'autonomous'?

This extradition bill does not impact HK's autonomy at all. This is very transparently a pretext.

One has to wonder who's behind all of this because this is really getting more farcical by the day.

It is also very interesting that western media tend to use the terms 'China' for the mainland in their reports on these events. Clearly this is not neutral and makes Western opinion believe that HK is not China.

GraphQL is pretty boring, at least on the server. You give your GraphQL library a schema and tell it how to deal with fields, and then it makes a tree of fields from your query and populates them according to your instructions.

It can get "exciting" on the client, particularly with libraries like Apollo. See for example the bug https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/1186, which took two years to fix. The tooling for persisted queries can also be hard to set up, and they're close to required if you want to expose GraphQL to your client.

I would rather the voice processing happened locally on your device. We must be getting to the stage where that's becoming viable? If not entirely in software then via a custom chip.

Even if that transcript then still needs to be sent to the cloud for processing (eg for translating human sentences into logical actions might still be out of the grasp of home devices), developers can at least then send the data tokenised (which wouldn't be possible if it was a compressed audio stream) and then get a server response referencing those tokenised place holders.

A simplistic example of my point might be

Message:
I need to book a doctors appointment for erectile dysfunction.

Sent:
I need to book a $ARG[0] appointment for $ARG[1].

Received:
{
"action": "ring";
"subject": "$ARG[0]";
"message": "appointment for $ARG[1]"
}

I appreciate something like that wouldn't be infallible but it would still go a long way to redacting sensitive or identifiable information and thus a huge step forward for privacy.
