Japan has deep philosophical and business traditions that appeal to the rest of industrial world.

Personally I adore Japan. It is surely a country from the future. It has so many lessons to give for the rest of us.
They don't have to. Wikimedia has tons of money. They just want more. (As is human nature.) And the people in charge know they can get it by throwing up ads like this.
> Cars, computers, phones, and health insurance also didn't exist back then, and neither did social mobility.

Also: proper lighting, especially outdoors. An important prerequisite for many jobs, so the length of a work day had natural limits.
I don't quite understand why anyone considers it a good idea to drive to their destination, by looking in the back mirror and arguing about what they see in there.

Maybe we should have a look at who's behind the wheel and where they're driving us.

Excuse me? My grandma was a slave worker in Germany. Kidnapped from the streets of Warsaw and forcefully moved to Southwest Germany to work for a rich farmer.

Looked at Elm and it looks quite interesting. however concerns for going to it

- Skill transfer. If I learn react, I can use my JavaScript skill to understand how everything works under the hood. If I learn Typescript with React, knowing react, I can focus on learning new language feature while not learning at the same time how to build the application.
With Elm, I have to learn the language and the framework, all at once, basically learning from scratch.

- compatibilities with libraries. Here I definitely might be wrong, not knowing Elm enough, but okay, say you don't need a framework because it's included. What about utility library. Like i don't know, analytics or fancy animations?

- Job Market. I'm not going to learn a language that I cannot use anywhere, and if I'm a company, I'm not going to choose a language for which is going to be hard to hire people.

Now Elm sounds real cool and I want to like it. But it doesn't seem very wise to spend time doing that vs learning something like Apollo+Graphql, or Typescript, or Vue, which have much more obvious benefits to my career.
I have no evidence, but I believe the five minute thing is deliberate - to prevent users from cancelling taxis because it will take too long to get there.
My 3 minutes in Hardcore mode:

ok lets do ths. I have no idea what is happening or how long i can go without typing before all that i ahve typed before will be lost: I feel like im making way more mistakes than i usually do, which is weird because I usually dont have to look at what Im typing as much either. I dont know. I have basically nothing left to say. And i am scarted to lose this challenge. It seems only one minute is over so far. So we have some ways to go. Quite a while actually. Closing in on half, but not really if i look at it properly. This bprogress bar at the top is really stressing me out. I feel llike Keanu Reeves in Speed. Or Sandra Bullock. Or ... What this guys name again. The one from dumb and dumber... ah commonm you know this! Dennis Hopper is the bad guy. Ah... I cant believe I'm blanking on the name. He was in Newsroom, which was not quite as good as it was supposed to be. Actually quite a lot less -... goood? I guess. Well, anywaya. Araron Sorkin is kind of hit or miss if you think about it. For example Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was ver y entertaining but the "high-stakes" scenarios they went for near the end of the season just didn't really work for a TV show setting. But overall I enjoyed it quite a lot I guess. Almost done!
I've been to both places, and I am fully aware that the system in Hong Kong is very different to that of the mainland, to the point where in certain aspects I see Hong Kong as a separate country (although things could have changed in the past few years, so I am not so certain).

From what I've seen though, I don't think China really wants to fully integrate Hong Kong (probably not even in 2047) as it doesn't make to much sense to do so, but would rather create an offshore haven like what Jersey is to the UK. But here lies the problem, while Jersey is seen as really well off due to the number of high networth bank accounts kept there, there is a real sense of poverty in Jersey and I think that's the issue HK is facing right now. If that is the case, calling for democracy is not going to solve their problems, so instead of rioting, maybe they should have sat down to work out a better solution.
yes, also land owners enclosed the areas and reserved it for their own use during early capitalist era
Anything in the world could theoretically be poisoned. There's no point in worrying about attacks above a certain level of difficulty. If you can check in with a certain number of builtin peers, that's about as solid as we can make things.

> And you need to bootstrap without DNS if you plan to actually replace DNS, not live beside it.

Whatever. DNS itself is never going to shut down, so 100% replacement even for bootstrapping isn't a real concern. And if starting with 13 fixed IP addresses is good enough for DNS, then it should be good enough for IPFS.
Why do you assume the kindergarten teachers earn less than they would have otherwise had in a different job or less than the average parent of the kids in their group? I mean yes, I support better wages for them (jobs in education generally don't pay that great) & I'm sure people working in the financial sector earn much more but I don't think that was the alternative the common teacher had to chose from.

As I said wages are not great but they are not that far from the median. My wife (teacher in a music school) doesn't earn more than a kindergarten teacher, the advantage is mostly in economies of scale (1 teacher per 6-7 pupils vs 1 mother per 1-3 offspring).
The problem with that this is is co located teams are a massive multiplier - very few jobs are truly singleton roles.
What is this title? The page is named "PHP Sucks" and the heading also says "PHP Sucks".
As I understand it matters against “prior art” defense. Basically if you patent someone else’s work, it invalidates the patent. But if you can prove that, you are the first to work on this, doesn’t really matter when you patented.

Patenting years later is basically giving right to people to use your patent, if you started implementing before the patent date.
> But all of this fathering thing is related with continue one's bloodline I guess.

Can I safely assume you haven't adopted any children? I'm a parent of two adopted kids (now mostly grown). If you think what motivates me is any different than what motivates other fathers, you would be terribly mistaken.

And here is my turn to speak without knowing: I imagine that if a father is too attached to the idea of the continuation of his genetic legacy, it may pressure the children to fulfill the father's idea of a legacy rather than find their own path.
So is your idea to have spacecraft go to LEO first instead of direct GTO? Is this an efficient use of fuel?
Step back from what? A middle sized autonomous airship carrying one container, would be a huge step up from semi trucks, as it would be 2-3 times faster would not cause damage to roads, could be used in places where there are no good roads, and if thin film perovskite solar cells become reality would generate the energy needed for its flight by itself.
Works really well. Thank you.
As a thought - what if you gave up The Great Experiment and implemented a Westminster system instead...

The President would become a ceremonial figurehead (directly elected by popular vote or a McGarvie model -see below), sign the bills and maybe still hold but rarely use veto power.

There's actually a more official resource: the rust cookbook[0]. This is maintained by the rust-lang team (rust-lang-nursery is an official place for crates maintained by the rust language maintainers).

Interesting concept!

On mobile at least, you can simply press space every couple of seconds.. And backspace.. so just a tad shy of what it says on the tin if you ask me.. ;)
What kind of french farmers? The land owners with their subsidized businesses, or the hired hands?
Lawyers. WP was really, really common amongst the legal profession for a while, and from what I've heard, being forced to migrate to Word is still much lamented. But it's quite a bit harder to pull a GRRM there.
And in doing so giving up their only "innovation" - externalizing the capital costs and risk.
Sounds like we live in different countries. If the network is out here (Australia), your only option is cash - card/touch are both going to be offline. The terminals need to authorise the transactions with the banks; it's an online transaction.

Magnetic stripes, haven't seen for ages. Cheques are not ever in use for normal shopping.
This was attempted by the Libz Blitz back in 2017. See the rust-cookbook: https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-cookbook/ .

I agree that this should be better documented and probably more integrated with crates.io somehow.
Mine isn't sitting in a dock, but gets hammered with serious workloads all the time, so I suspect it might be a thermal issue.
sure, oppressive regimes usually favor the "people". in this case if you are Han Chinese and don't have any strange ideas (eg Falun Gong, democracy, liberalism), then you can get ahead pretty well.

Otherwise not so much. See Xinjiang, Tibet, and so on.
This is probably the most dangerous writing application ever, removing your progress if no input is received within (probably) 10 seconds out of minutes-long session (by default 5 minutes, minimum of 3 minutes I think) and your progress is gone. Thankfully you can delete words and that does count as a progress, so you can technically possible to add and remove a word back and force to keep your precious writing ever. Of course it only means that you keep progressing, not producing a quality writing. In the hard core mode this is amplified by having your all progress being blurred out and you can only concentrate on the last word or two, meaning that you are just writing as your mind guidesf.... I accidentally removed the last word and can't remember what it was, see? This is pretty hardcore indeed. But I'm nearing the completion and I guess this is done.

So, yeah, I think I like it.
That mostly meant rising earlier, with the light, rather than the arbitrary hours of today enabled by artificial light. Only during the depths of winter or those in the most northern or southern latitudes had appreciable shortening.
> I don't want to speculate why the British did what they did, and that's not the point

There is no need to speculate, history offers a clear answer. I can understand that it's hard to swallow bitter truth.

> Democracy and freedom

I have voted myself and know how the system worked before Chris Patten and afterwards. It was a from caged zoo turned to open zoo not really democracy.

Regarding freedom Britain offered BNO and UK passport to selected few(not the same rights or freedom as a UK citizen) also please show me any document from UK government which offered Hong Kong same rights and freedoms as UK citizens. Chinese offered full Chinese nationality along with additional freedoms defined in Basic Law.

> Cherrypick

I picked the first instance when Hong Kong asked for reinterpretation of article 22, in spite of legal repurcussions in the long run. Society at large liked it because it was beneficial economically. In history there are enough examples to prove my point that Britain always worked for their own economic interest and I picked the excerpts from the example you posted.
IMHO TypeScript saves a lot of time as soon as any project grows over few thousands lines of code.
I'm working on a large project in which both backend and frontend are in JavaScript (node+PWA) and without TS it would have been close to impossible to proceed at the speed we did. Thanks to TS we easily know what types must be passed between client and server, and we can easily refactor or edit code without worrying that some mis-type somewhere will brake things.
We don't use any anywhere (literally), it's not trivial, but as soon as you get to know TS well enough it's absolutely feasible, at least since TS 3.x.
It is interesting that things I've noticed anecdotally have some, possible, grounds in science. It is also nice to have this to show new dads that they will adjust automatically (biologically that is) without needed to worry. Yes they need to work at bonding but their body will help them out.
I also find the drop in testosterone and increase in brain matter really easy to accept. My husband changed after our first was born. Something automatic happened that changed the way he acted towards our baby than he had to other babies and it wasn't just the fact it almost killed me.
Lastly, because I'm overly verbose tonight, sorry, I love that the "fun" dad stereotype actually might be the biologic usual setting. It doesnt mean dad cant be the nurturing one and mom the fun one but it does mean it should come a little more naturally for men, therefore, it is likely to happen in any father, so both roles are covered biologically.
I lied. One more thought, I wonder how this would work in a same sex couple. If one woman gives birth does the other automatically take on the father role biologically? What if they take turns giving birth? Do they get to play noth roles then? What about in men? Does one take on the mom role hormonally? Would this being found to be true remove some of the objections to same sex couples parenting or does science mean nothing to the objectors?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't DNS-on-blockchain make lookups orders of magnitude slower than they are now, especially with many DNS services advertising based on speed?
French farmers and farmers in the EU have a lot of support from the CAP (subsidy). Having said that there are a lot of pressures suicides etc farming Is not some dream job.
'Dog' and 'mammal' are two distinct terms, 'insanity' and 'insanity' are not.
Bootstrapping without DNS or bootstrap nodes is possible, if hard, but still leaves some open questions.

Not everything in the world can be poisoned if you design carefully enough, but IPFS isn't a design I'd pick for building the foundation of an internet.
What are the problems that Typescript solves that you don’t have?
This reminds me of "suicide linux" (available as a deb and docker image). If you type a typo in a command, it gets converted to rm -rf /

The results still seem valid even if the primary mechanism for decreasing testosterone production is a lack of sleep.
Building a small computer, powered by a Z80 processor.

Currently I'm in the state where I have a Z80 CPU hooked up to an Arduino (mega). The software running on the Arduino fakes RAM and hardware I/O so I can write simple programs in Z80 assembly language and test it.

I've also managed to get BASIC running on it. The next step is to actually build a real circuit with serial I/O and real RAM/EPROM hardware so it will be standalone.
I feel there is an implicit assumption in the article, which is that work time is defined as time that you give away from your life to serve someone else. What if work time was more like a paid hobby or time spent with like-minded adults on intellectually stimulating topics?

Surely I don't like all aspects of my work and surely there are rainy days, but on average I like my work. I like the people I meet at work, the challenges that work exposes me to. My boss often asks me for favours ("can you take this customer call during holidays"), but also makes sure that the emotional account is balanced ("you want more salary or an extra holiday?"). Also, the so-called 40-hours week includes coffee breaks and 1 hour per week of sports (I'm living in Sweden).

I see nothing wrong with people working long hours assuming they do it because they want to, not because they have to. I would much rather like to compare the number of hours people had to work in pre-industrial times (which is likely 100% of their work time) compared to today.
... implying that happiness is not scalar. But if happiness is not measurable, what does utilitarianism measure? The amount of pain - or rather the lack thereof?
>- Quite often when using unreleased APIs, you turn to using "any" all over the place.

What unreleased APIs are you needing to warrant this? We've used any a couple times, but usually just as a placeholder until the data model is locked down.

>- Development time is slower than writing in regular JS/React. This started to become a major issue due to the nature of our project being a prototype (fast iterations on ideas and features).

Again, I can't say I've had this experience. Development time is _initially_ a tiny bit slower, but once you've setup types, the time saved from fixing type related issues adds up very very fast. Also, autocomplete / autoimporting has actually sped up my development time hugely. Not having to worry about figuring out relative paths or imports and just being able to type a component to import it is magic.

>- Lots of frustration when a package doesn't have types (although most major ones do have them).

This is true, but I've found that 95% of the packages we use do have types. The few that don't, tend to be very small indie packages that don't do a lot, so the lack of types isn't a huge issue.
It is a play on John Lennons' and Yoko Onos' song [1] and in my personal opinion it conveys the content of the post much better than a simple "PHP sucks", because we are all used to hearing that all the time, and the post is not really about the suckiness of PHP itself, but rather prejudice against it and the people who use it in the dev community.

my changes:

o hair loss (Eldest's birth and early life was traumatic)

o Loss of short term memory (mostly temporary, sleep loss related.)

o loss of hearing (eldest was fond of screaming)

o grey hair.

We split child care into two shifts. I took nights, wife took days. Hence why I had less sleep than the wife.
In Iceland at least being a leikskoli teacher requires a degree and they are far from child storage. They work and care for the childs development. This is at least a fairly common model in Nordic countries and presume its similar in a lot of Europe.

I've heard horror stories about featureless cinder block rooms as day care in the US though.

In many countries donkeys are not allowed to work more than 6 hours a day by law. In Palastine this still exists. Or in England : ) . -- https://www.blackberrydonkeys.com/donkey-riding-rules-regula...

Compared with donkeys, we are not doing well- I am researching mules.
You must figure out the causal structure of the system you are trying to regulate and incorporate it into the regulator. Using some generic and simple model to observe variables will not do.

When the system becomes very complex this involves simulation. Think the game of chess as a system you try to regulate towards win. The only working solution is to simulate gameplay, dong sequences of moves and evaluating their outcomes (search). Chess computer replicates the system it regulates.

I have never understood the benefits of making syntactic sugar for lists in languages having higher order functions. Python kind-of gets away with it, but I still don't get the benefits compared to using map and filter.
You haven't worked on the line or a traditional factory job then? There are a lot of "practices" to power game your pay by working in such a way to ensure there is Overtime or to optimise your piece rate.

For example in the UK don't post a first class letter on Friday as work is deliberately kept back to ensure there is OT at the weekend.
Reportedly you have a lot of customers. How did you find them? Any tips to share? Thanks :-)
The general audience for laptops is far wider than just techies. Techies might actually be the minority. Between this and the fact that many people will never see/need an Ethernet cable in their life it makes sense for manufacturers to compete with specifications that the average buyer craves: thin and light.

They could have included one of those flip down Ethernet ports though [0][1], since I see there is plenty of space under the edges of the laptop to drop that flap.

I'm not sure I follow these concerns about "working in the future" - as long as you specify versions that work for you in your Cargo.toml file, that should work at any point in the future given that you use Rust 1.x.

If you'll want to update to always be on the latest version of each crate, well that discomfort about them potentially not working is part of the price.

What I don't see anywhere is chemical-based recycling. Many plastics can be dissolved in acetone, for example. Shred it all to flakes, put it in a vat of acetone, burn the stuff that isn't dissolvable and then take the raw materials out of the acetone?

Or is the dissolving-into-acetone part a non-reversible operation and one ends up with a boatload of contaminated acetone?
The paradigm of the Japanese "salaryman" is one of the most miserable existences I can imagine that doesn't involve physical abuse. Until now I thought that was just me, and that cultural differences meant it was a much more fulfilling career for Japanese people. Interesting to see that might not actually be the case.
The “country of the future” trope is not actually very accurate, but the structure of society has many major differences from any other country I’m aware of. The shūkatsu system is one decent example of that.
Notice that in neoclassical economics, value grows because satisfaction of the agents grows and nothing else. Therefore growth can be infinite as long as someone could grow infinitely happy with whatever they get out of economic activities. This implies some form of utilitarianism. This also strikes as complete, unreal fantasy. Hmmm.

Assuming you mean running smoke machines, no they don't. Smoke machines are occasionally used, but not in most plays, let alone for hours. And even if the were, most actors rehearse for weeks or months between plays, and nobody is using a smoke machine on rehearsals, except maybe in the last few.
Yeah that sucks. But nobody is forced to update the firmware. And you get BRAW if you update :)
