> Here is a short snippet of some abstract C++ code. As you can see, that is a code from the Windows DLL

I stopped reading at this point.

But, ok, I didn't really. I also noticed the code was quite dated / inopportune:

* Has a "X-er" class - which probably shouldn't exist in the first place.

* Using raw `delete` and `new`

* Using unions instead of std::variant's

* Using C library calls instead of `<algorithm>` functions (memset vs std::fill)

* Using `rand()` instead of the standard library's facilities (even though it's broken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDPMpc-ENqY&t=329s)

So... it's outdated and inelegant C++, regardless of any actual errors.
Agreed!

I always thought standing in line to get something was odd. I tried doing it for a game once, and I felt miserable. What a total waste of time. Most game studios fixed it, by going digital and allowing preloads.

Doing that as a job? Oof. 0 skills required, just good knees. Definitely, sounds like a wise career move./s
I wonder if the author of this article is aware of Cory Doctorow's 2003 book of the same title? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_the_Magic_King...
In my youth I lived off a well and did not have access to fluoridated water. My parents still live in that house. There are large swaths of people who live off of a well in the United States. We started adding fluoride to water because our knowledge at the time said it was a good idea (and still probably is). The rates of tooth decay falls when fluoride is introduced in drinking water.

But the only places that have fluoride added to the water are metropolitan areas (at least around me in a Midwestern state).
Oh I remember it well and fondly!

There was all of one or two internet providers in our county where I grew up at that time. Maybe one. We couldn’t afford it yet but my parents bought Encarta because it seemed like a wholesome tract for computer use.

I spent countless hours on there and used it for a ton of homework. IIRC my parents used it all the time as well. They likely still have the disks kicking around someplace.

CNAME flattening makes things kind of work, but if your CDN is using DNS to provide different IPs to different clients, doing a host lookup at your normal authoritative isn't going to work as well; ECS can help a bit, and maybe using anycast for apex domains helps; but it's a challenge to do well unless you delegate the whole domain.

Of course there are servers and networks and disk, etc. Serverless means you don't manage a server and the abstraction is not based around a server. The term "Managed Microservice" does not make any sense since microservices don't have the same lifecycle as managed functions.
You have to remember that this was during an era when the internet was not as common, so this was competing with physical books, not digital media. And the result was much more immersive than reading a book, and the internet was not yet mature enough to be an effective format for reading hypertext.

Additionally, consider that much the audience for it was people in grade school. If you were in the seventh grade in 1995, you were the perfect age to really engage with that kind of approach—which seemed awesome compared to a boring textbook.

I think in many ways, our information consumption has gotten much more dense over time. But in 1995, people would approach this like they would a nice, long magazine article. Efficiency was not the goal: It was something that hit all the senses.
It does seem to enable interconnect with impressive latency and bandwidth. It probably is worth it considering both Google and Nvidia systems are interconnect-limited.

7z unpacks this as:

American post-war car-centric urban design transformed public space from one accessible to, and commonly ranged by, all (including children), into one largely accessible by motorized transit.

Children without licenses and access to vehicles consequently lost direct autonomous access to the core locations in their lives (home - school - simple shopping - peers - common wild space), and have been discouraged from attempting to navigate these spaces on foot (for fear of injury or unrealistic transit distance/detours required).

The author does not state, but one may infer, that car-centric living is coupled to the overscheduling and helicopter parenting at issue in the original article; and that children raised in a car-centric environment experience something akin to learned helplessness.

These problems are further compounded by comparatively poor American public transit systems and a contemporary mindset in which fearful parents discourages free-range children from making use of what transit options are present before the last few years of childhood; and by safety concerns around biking and skating in environments which do privilege cars.
The number of yuan per dollar getting lower does mean that the yuan is becoming stronger relative to the dollar. (It doesn't mean the yuan is becoming stronger; it could just be that the dollar weakened.)

But that would be called a "rise" in the yuan. A "fall" in a currency always means the opposite, that the value of the currency has dropped. In the usage you're questioning, the yuan "fell" to 7+ to the dollar from its previously higher value of 6+. It's not a reduction in the number of yuan per dollar.

And you seem to be confusing physics for economics. It's the latter that determines available bandwidth in most cases.
> EDIT: Also a note that iOS doesn't have any way to control app network access, I don't think Android does either. So there's another easy front.

I don't know about Apple/iOS, however Android has plenty of third party local vpns that exist specifically to filter per-app internet access (No Root Firewall, NetGuard, etc), as well as iptables GUIs like AFWall+ for those who are rooted.
Without installing a third party app, while you can't entirely prevent an app from going online, there's a toggle in app settings, "Background data: Enable usage of mobile data in the background", though I'm unsure of the exact effect this toggle has. With more technical knowledge, you can leave the Android platform and run a pihole or a privoxy. It should also be possible on Android to write a no-root vpn that switches between different proxies/profiles for various apps (ie, use squid/privoxy on browsers, use DNS proxies for native apps, whitelist as necessary).
If you're rooted, you can also run your privoxy/pihole on the local device; I've had success with running a local dnsmasq, however it's far from battery friendly.

>Diminish everyone's usage proportionally? Provide a guaranteed minimum? A minimum per minute, per hour, or per day? Prioritize traffic based on type? Implement caps? Allow people to pay for more speed, higher caps, or both?

In the case of limited bandwidth, the "fairest" way would be to enforce a moving average cap. The most economically efficient way would be some sort of dynamic price system[1].

>But since people often have little or no choice over which carrier or ISP they use and switching can be expensive

In the context of this thread (wireless carriers), isn't this moot? I get how there are local ISP monopolies for residential internet, but the whole country has good access to all the major carriers.

[1] instead of getting 5GB, you get 5,000,000 "bandwidth credits". If a cell tower is below capacity, each megabyte of transfer only costs a nominal amount of credits (200). But as capacity approaches 100%, it costs more and more (up to 10000, or more). We could even have a total free market similar to bitcoin network fees where customers can enter a bid. If your bid isn't high enough you're limited to 2g speeds, or get no data at all.
China is still acting to prop up the yuan today. If they eliminated or even relaxed their capital controls there would be a massive outflow of wealth.
In the UK (at least) we had a similar CD encyclopaedia from Dorling Kindersley which I used to use at the local Library before we had a computer.

You moved around different rooms, and there were videos and the best mood music!
That, and "including paratroopers" suggests a lot of people hit in the air, dropped over water, or killed after landing who might never have been recovered. Wikipedia suggests that the airborne missions in Normandy alone involved 1,000 dead and 4,500 missing, so listing a total death toll of 1,000 would have to be beaches-only.

How Men & Ladies are different
3 out of every 5 Americans are lonely and USA is the 5th nation with the highest divorce rates. Over 5 million Single-parents leaving in USA, this does not include the Unmarried Singles.

The University of Washington studied over 2000 couples in 20 years. They asked
“When you are in a conflict with your lover, do you feel unloved or disrespected?”
74% women said they felt unloved
83% men said they felt disrespected

I have discovered, after over 6 months of intense study of love, relationships and marriage, that Male & female are equal, but they are not the same.

- A man must love his lady & a lady must respect her man. His love motivates her respect & her respect motivates his love.

- When ladies hangout, they connect by talking & want their man to look into her eyes; while men connect by participating in shoulder to shoulder activities, like watching a game without much talking.

Dating apps have not been able to make it easy for people to translate to a structured relationship, only chatting or general meetups. These types of relationships take place at a specific time each week and they are built on routine activities or common interests that bring individuals together. Your interests brings you together frequently- you keep coming back to “be” with this person(s) - like YC Tuesday dinners.

Can we connect & verify two people by allowing them participate live in an activity that both interest them. We have decided to start with Latin & Ballroom dance industry. Why dance? I have over 15 years experience and it is an activity that connects TWO PEOPLE weekly.

I have launched a Beta website app http://classvisa.com and in 2 weeks, 17 people signed up and 4 people have tried the Paid Trials. I need help with tech, sales and I cannot do this alone. I currently reside in San Diego North County. I am offering to share equity equally with a Technical person, after 3 months project of being a Tech Lead.

Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
This is a false equivalence. Its popularity doesn't make it "valid" for some criterion.
What an absolute mess. I’m a technical nerd, and I can probably do the research necessary when I need a new card... but we expect ordinary people to figure it out? Not likely.
Ok - your points are all valid, but they are also huge. So if we try and address them we will get nowhere for a long time.

I included the developing world stuff because it’s true. I’ve lived all over the African continent and no, not everyone is connected always. Sometimes there’s just an old PC in a room, disconnected.

Dang. I wonder if either there could be an anonymous feedback channel to the supervisor, or a meeting could be arranged (with the supervisor's knowledge, so they don't feel like it's behind their back) that specifically excludes the supervisor where people could discuss what changes they would like, including to the supervisor's behavior, that would conclude with the group agreeing on someone to explain to the supervisor what changes they collectively want.
I currently use C++17 for all new projects, in a purely modern style which minimizes the complexity that must be dealt with. It is still a very complex language to learn, I certainly don't know every corner of it.

For some types of high-performance infrastructure software like database engines, there really isn't a better alternative unfortunately. While there are other non-GC languages like C and Rust, equivalent software requires significantly more lines of code due reduced expressiveness, sometimes with a performance impact, and there are some types of code safety that are difficult to enforce in those languages.

Because C++ is so expressive in a systems programming context and is rapidly adding valuable features, it makes it difficult for other languages to catch up to the point where there is a direct architectural translation from the latest version of C++ to some other language. I know quite a few shops that actively pull their code bases forward when a new C++ version lands, which is usually pretty painless, to take advantage of new features/safety and added tidiness.

Twitter just posted this statement: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2019/informati...

And a new policy banning all state-controlled media from advertising: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2019/advertisi...

I think this is an interesting example of recent discussions about the disproportionate influence of social media companies on information. Obviously, it doesn't seem right for a government to manipulate public conversation. But it's also worrisome that a single company has the power to shut down an entire government trying to spread its ideas. In this instance it's well justified, but it feels a little scary that the flow of information is policed by a couple private individuals with very little oversight. I don't have any particular opinions here on what might need to change, if anything - just thinking out loud.
Regardless of whether it's statistically significant in terms of p-value, its pretty hard to discount the possibility the controls might not be effectively applied (and I find the basic idea that fluoride might have adverse developmental affects on babies highly plausible). When you're comparing fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas of just six cities there are likely to be other regional effects not perfectly captured by the controls - whilst controlling for parental education they found systematic differences in the parents' education levels between fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities. And they attempted that controlling without any data for the most significant factor in child IQ - parental IQ...
China isn't necessarily bullying the US, it bullies other countries. My point was that China isn't good at international relationships. They have squandered the relationship with the US and have bullied other smaller countries to the point that even Vietnam would much rather deal with the US than with China.

Look at the India relationship, it's awful. China has no clue how to create positive and mutually beneficial relationships around the world.

It sees everything as a zero-sum game. The US, despite it's flaws, is excellent at building and maintaining deep economic and political relationships around the world. Europe, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, all have had benefited massively from their relationships with the US.

China's CCP has had 50 years to develop ties with Vietnam and the Vietnamese hate the CCP.
> Plato has been arguing that if you don't select your surgeon or carpenter based on that person's popularity in making public promises, why do you do so for statecraft?

Politicians are elected by their promises, reelected by their performance. Also, there is no objective "skill" a politician can hold to be "good" like a surgeon or carpenter, your analogy breaks down completely.
Many celebrities have also come out against the protests, such as Jackie Chan. I wonder if they were bought out or threatened by the government in order to do that.

This goes into great depth explaining what has become a tired argument. No, you don't need React for everything. Yes, there are lots of benefits to rendering static HTML if your interface doesn't have much dynamic state. And yes, React can still be a useful tool in the right context. Those who say you should use it for everything are naive. Hopefully your team lead who's making these decisions isn't naive. It's possible they are.

I really don't think that anyone who's been in web dev for more than a couple years still disagrees with the above points.
Okay, let's go the other route then. BackBlaze, CrashPlan. These are companies where Comcast/other ISP customers are sending THEM huge amounts of data and getting nearly nothing in return.

So these ISPs should be bearing the costs of peering to backup providers, correct, by your logic? Or would that be the backup providers holding ISPs to "ransom"?

Apropos of anything else, ISPs (generally) provide massively asymmetric pipes. You can't provide an asymmetric pipe and then complain that data use on that pipe is, well, asymmetric.

As stated in their paper https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/099.pdf : "...the SRS is updatable, meaning an open and dynamic set of participants can contribute secret randomness to it indefinitely. Although this is still a trusted setup in some sense, it increases confidence in the security of the parameters as only one previous contributor must have destroyed their secret randomness in order for the SRS to be secure".

Basically, any party can update the Structured Reference String (SRS) at any point in time to increase the security of the protocol that will affect to any proof computed from then on.
I considered a Tesla but Tesla simply sucks as a car company. Body gaps are quite bad, apparently a bit improved on model 3. However, TFL (youtube car review channel) damaged a quarter panel/bumper on their car. It took 4-5 months for the whole repair because waiting on parts. This is simply unacceptable. I cannot comprehend who would want to own a car like that.

Plus, there was a guy rebuilding a crashed model S and had issues sourcing some components, then Tesla gave him issues activating the car.

That doesn't mean much: a top-flight developer in Vietnam isn't going to underprice his or herself to that degree just because it costs a little less. If one can live that good on $65/hr, then $80 or $100 is that much better.
Even under those constraints you can build something that's either fast or general. Pick one.

I preferred the Brittanica and thought Encarta was written for 10 year olds. I remember the technology was weird, like the articles were pdfs embedded in the web browser or something like that.
I see your point. Fundamentally, the same multiplications.

However, if we look at TF Lite, for example - its internal operators were tuned for mobile devices, its new model file format is much more compact, and does not need to be parsed before usage. My point is - the hardware requirements aren't growing; instead, the frameworks are getting optimized to use less power.

I still regularly use the DVD version of Brittanica (it's good for looking things up on planes when I don't have internet connections and is a supplement to offline versions of Wikipedia). The quality is certainly better than Encarta which was based on a more cut-rate competitor to Brittanica.
