"Hei" means "hi". You can use that in your email.

English "hey" is said when someone is annoyed. "Hey you! Stop that!"
MediaMarkt in the Netherlands has a its own Samsung and Apple sections complete with personel. The Huawei section isn't really that big in the stores I've been in. Unless it massively changed in the past 2 months.
The point is these techniques were determined by trial and error, they never understood the reasons why one technique worked and another didn't.
Oh, it's just an art project.

We haven't yet seen a serious non-English programming language. One would have expected one in Chinese or Japanese by now. There was COBOL in French, once, with French words and word order, but it never caught on, even in Francophone countries.

That's a bit mean, don't you think? See I was addressing a group of people but you're directly saying that to me.

Hmmm, well, why don't you take your own advice pal and ask me why I think so? Oh, that's right, I guess you were just trying to insult people rather than understand. Hahahaa.

But anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying your attempt at self-righteousness. Keep working on that, you've nearly got it.

And I'm very grateful to you for proving my point. You may be old, but are you sure I don't understand people and you do? I don't think "bad faith" means what you think it means, but I take it by the vehemence of your response that I struck a nerve. And I think you might just be projecting. See, I think you're angry because you must use React, and me reminding you other choices exist, which you nevertheless cannot access, reminds you of that embarrassing lack of freedom. So you choose to double down on defending something you don't really want anyway. But I guess you don't really understand how you feel about it, so you just project and blame somebody else.

If you didn't like React, would you ever say no to an offer that insisted on it? See, I don't think you would. But I have. I wanna work with what I like.

I think if you really loved it and knew why you wouldn't be so perturbed. I'm just curious, why no submissions? Why anonymous? Would you talk so big, if everyone knew your name? Or are you only a loud mouth if you've got no skin in the game, really? Anyway, have a good day thinkin about that, pal and if you wanna know more please read my answer for "debuzzybee" and my comment she linked.

Techie snobs scoff at the iPad but without its simplicity some of the older people in my family would have never used a computing device.

It wasn't something they ever needed – having done without computers for so long just fine – but it did bring them joy and entertainment and even helped them with some tasks, like notes and contacts.

And yes, abstracting away the file system played a big role in the iPad's accessibility.

Just vanishing the keyboard and mouse alone greatly lowers the intimidating barriers for some tech-averse people.
It was going well until we invented the echo chambers of anonymous social networks. ;-)

I can second this. An amazing volume. If you want more details, I'd stick with the Soviet math school, which was amazing in it's pedagogical soundness and user friendly texts. Anything from the EMS -- Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences -- is worth picking up.

Google's ML mail spam models are that way because there's too many bad actors. Email, even in 2019, still extremely valuable.

If you can get into people's email inbox, there's still quite high conversion rate - better than clicks/videos on a pure percentage basis. Even the author wants to reach out to people in a cold fashion.

As a gmail user, I 100% appreciate keeping my inbox extremely clean. Google's spam filter is a welcome addition.

As a business owner, I'm continuously having to do things so I don't end up in spam. Less images, specific wording and the list goes on.

I can't have it both ways. I would not be on Gmail if it was like yahoo. My goodness... my parent's inbox, on yahoo, makes me anxious.
I find it a bit weird that people stick with such antiquated translations of the bible in English. The German translations are pretty much standard German. Even the Luther Bible is quite readable to this day.

Wow - according to one source "The Netherlands is the world's second largest exporter of agricultural products, after the USA" [0]. Sure, it has good quality soil and high tech farming, but it's amazing that can make up for the sheer lack of space. It's smaller than all but 9 US states, and it's not rural either - it's more populous than all but 4.

No, it's called paying attention and forming judgments from copious amounts of personal empirical data and drawing conclusions from that. I was pretty concerned when the kelp disappeared and the urchin barrens arrived, but it's pretty remarkable to see firsthand how the system has returned to the previous equilibrium so quickly.

Why am I the only person in this thread who has firsthand experience about this phenomena yet everyone wants to talk about it as a jumping off point for their straw-boogeymen about America, capitalism, and religiosity?
A translator that takes say C code written in a non-English language and spits out ASCII C (except for variable/function names) ought to be simple.
Probably not, but the author thinks that as a generalist your changes of succes are higher, not the level of success.

Similar story with Xbox vs the far more globally popular PlayStation video game consoles.
Retrofitting an existing language with flexible syntax (in this case, LISP) to non-English languages is relatively easy. They are not necessarily bad and can be useful for learners and casual users, but deviating from ASCII alone doesn't remove a cultural bias as the OP states. Programming languages have to be developed from scratch to fit to other spoken languages and cultures in my opinion. I'm aware of multiple (non-esoteric [1]) languages in this direction, none satisfactory enough though.

[1] If we allow esolangs I would proudly present Aheui (https://esolangs.org/wiki/Aheui) as a good example.
Aluminium (sorry, Brit) is lighter than steel but more expensive, so food cans are usually steel because the contents are fairly heavy anyway. Drinks cans are smaller with a lighter contents weight, and are often held in the hand while drunk so weight is a bigger issue.
Could you elaborate? I don't follow your reasoning here.

Full plate armor only weight about 30-35lbs and was extremely maneuverable.

As far as sword steel goes then while some modern steels are superior as far as edge retention and or corrosion resistance goes they aren’t that much better than some of the ancient high quality steels as far as the final product goes to appear magical.

Modern blade steel is more about mass production and consistency so you don’t need to hammer the impurities for 50 days out of your billet.

Sure you might be able to go with titanium instead of steel for the armor but I’m not actually sure it would provide better protection. Plate armor was tempered steel it provided protection by deflecting blade blows and by being able to absorb crushing blows trough deformation instead of shattering.

Yeah you could design a full plate armor with composite materials today that might be better but then it’s well beyond modern steel and even then I’m not sure if many people would think it’s magic.
I said that their polemics are boring, not the topic of feminist struggle. It's so tired that they love the idea of feminists being seduced by Satan and lesbianism, but it is also harassment of women, and no doubt offensive to Christian feminists.

Depending on your use-case, a worst case execution time (WCET) analysis can yield these numbers. These are usually deployed for analysis of safety critical systems (e.g. for ECU in cars or industrial controllers), but it could be (ab-)used for that case as well.
Of course the analysis needs to support both your ISA (RISC-V) and the exact core implementing it, plus adjusting the parameters; this isn't exactly cheap, since it requires a lot of very specific know-how, and I wouldn't suspect SiFive will produce something like this (Disclaimer: I work in the field).

Thanks for reminding people, really. But I guess I don't get the sympathy for abusive comments against my work unless I'm part of some mainstream group. Which just proves that it's not the so-called morality of commenters is not really based on morality but just confirmation bias / groupthink and preserving those group mass delusions. Anyway, I appreciate you reiterating this earlier point I made.

I think it's interesting how important "group identity" is here. If I attack a group of people "React faddites" as I did here, everyone loses their minds. But if someone attacks my work, everyone's cool with it. People are more keen to defend the group than the individual. Interesting. It's not really about morality, but everyone wants to clothe it in that...I wonder why the group identity is so important? I tend to think it's compensation for / a substitute for actual merit. We know React is not great, so we have to double down on the community of idiots parroting the official line that it is great.

It's funny to me. I can have my opinion about the tools I wanna work with. But if they don't coincide with the mainstream tools, clearly I am "wrong" and just "don't understand". But if I criticise the mainstream tool users as being the ones who don't understand, again, I'm "wrong" and "don't understand". That sort of echo-chamber, self-protective / non-introspective fear of criticism and double standards is not a great thing, and probably another reason why React is so weak. If it was really strong, it could be robust against robust criticism? But it doesn't show a lot of confidence for a massive group of self-confessed React acolytes to go bats when someone dares question them. It shows someone has stepped on a point they know fear might be true. I mean, for a whole group of people who devote so much energy to use this thing, I understand why they'd be angry if it was true and someone pointed it out, but it's funny to me how the group can be insecure about its choice, and have chosen badly, even when so many people have thought about it and are invested in it. Madness of crowds, I guess. Popularity is no guarantee of quality.
The legal naivete and indifference of otherwise technological savvy people is mind boggling.

It is not the task of mail providers to block or hide email considered to be spam. It is the job of the end users, ie the email providers cusstomers and their software.

Consider physical junk mail, ie the type that comes through the letter box.
The post office does not decide what is junk mail or not, their job is to deliver it and it is the customer's job to discard it.

The proper thing is for the mail provider to tag the emails their systems consider to be junk and deliver it the customers inbox and let the customers decide.

Google's customers are the problem, not Google itself.
A while back I had someone setup a new domain with office 365 email and a completely broken spf record that only allowed his web server. Gmail accepted everything without a problem.

I agree an SPF record is an expected minimum but "use a big provider" is more relevant ime.

Providing a mapping from utf-8 to ASCII is easy, e.g. punycode. The problems arise when it comes to things like checking equality of two identifiers, as it becomes non-trivial in general Unicode: https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/
I've always wondered why this is not more common. Is there a reason you can't just have localized keywords in each language that map to the same thing? Chinese JavaScript, etc?
I disagree with you on the publishing front. Mathematics is fundamental and timeless (what do you mean "many of these titles are mostly of historical value"?) They may need some trivial editing (though i would much prefer that they be published as they were with a note explaining the historical aspects) but otherwise they were information dense and succinct with an eye to Applications. They were all excellent across the board. They were directly responsible for educating a lot of poor people in many countries due to their very low cost and affordability. I would say this was one of the biggest successes of the Soviet ideology i.e. the education of the masses in Science & Technology fields. Current day Russians/Eastern Europeans/Central Asians can justifiably be very proud of this part of their History.

Much of "modern" textbooks are full of excessive verbiage obscuring the essentials, "pretty printing" disguised as "easy comprehension" and a racket for the publishers to make money. Why in the world do i need so many editions of books containing Mathematics which has not changed in centuries? Why do they cost an arm and a leg? Education is as fundamental as Health services and both should be affordable in service of the population.

So again, somebody setup a publishing company (eg. Dover Publications) and bring ALL the forgotten books from the Soviet era back into print :-)
There were localized versions of Visual Basic for Applications in Office 95, at least there was a German one. I had the "pleasure" to use it once, and I can tell you it was no pleasure at all. The first problem was that for some keywords there is no obvious translation (for example "if" can be translated to "falls" or "wenn"), so I had to look up the keywords again and again. Then of course it wasn't easily possible to transfer code snippets from English VBA projects, so everything had to be converted (by hand at that time). And for some reason certain keywords were not localized at all (for example 'DIM'). Turned out the whole localization was a horrible idea.

Here is a piece of code in German VBA for Excel 95:

I have all my mailboxes with gandi.net. Each domain you buy from them comes with 2 fully managed emails, and I think 3GB storage each, for just over $1/month. I basically never get spam, nor blocked emails. They have 2 webmail interfaces too, but I don't use them. As a bonus, gandi financially supports a ton of open source projects, which never hurts.
Well, yeah. That already exists if you go to any non-english speaking country and look at the coursework of people doing introductory C classes...

#define pour for
#define ent int
etc...

I think these don't really capture the whole idea around creating a programming language in another language, though...
We have 1C here in Russia. It is not very advanced language-wise, but if you list COBOL as serious, well, it is.
So I did a few back-of-the-envelope calculations. What magnitude do you have in mind? Because what I got was single-digit numbers of weeks, and why bother to discuss differences as small as that?

I started by assuming that since most health care cost is concentrated in the last four years of life, that's for how long retirees can affect the statistics by moving or not moving. 4 is a small number, and the number of people who move also cannot be large compared to the general population in the area they move from, so no matter how I tweaked it, I arrived at near-zero results.
It seems to mean "How well does Mechanical Turk do the task?" which is a separate thing again. And yes - error type is at least as revealing as error frequency.

I have no idea where the real human baseline is, or how to find it.

Also, consider this discussion. GLUE winners may be able to make informed parsing guesses about single text blocks, but they're years away from being able to make a useful contribution to a discussion like this one.
>Please help me understand if I'm missing something, or is it time to jump ship to somewhere else where the gravity of work I do is respected and appropriately compensated.

Maybe you are not fully understanding the gravity of someone else's job and do not respect it. If finance workers would all quit for some reason the company would be fucked too.
There's also wlanguage that supports french, english and chinese https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLangage (in french)

It's part of the dev environment windev which is totally closed and (at least last time i had to use it) doesn't allow to use any tools like git (sources are encrypted). This and the fact that the whole environment was extremelly bugy (and even the language itself) makes it a real nightmare to work with. That's the only other example of non english programing language I can think of though

Edit: just found this article on wikipedia after writing this. There's quite a few languages:

Ok, I will look at it, as far as I know, cmake seems to be more popular than bazel. At least I rarely see projects that use bazel, although I don’t like the syntax of cmake very much.
Hi, the docs are great - and cover a lot of ground.

The React team is doing amazing work!

Two questions / inputs:

1. Are the "Progressive Hydration" and "Selective Hydration" related to SSR? I could not find any info on what functionality is hiding behind the terms.

I've been wondering about how selective hydration could work with SSR.

2. In general I often find it hard to navigate the API part of the React docs - for example to find the definition of a lifecycle method (for example componentDidUpdate). There is no fast way to get to a single method.

I think this might be because the pure API docs feel a bit mixed into the rest of the documentation and therefore read more as complete articles than single packets of information.

Microsoft tried it for VBA in Office 95. It turned out to be a horrible idea. See my other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21352796
The Amstrad CPC (under CP/M I guess) had a French LOGO, where it wouldn't be "forward 10" but "avance 10".

I think what mostly kills the appeal is
1) The actual keywords in the language are not that many (<50) and have a technical meaning where knowing English is only of limited help.
2) Much of what we do today uses library of code from others, where either you limit your audience by using non-English function (and/or class) names or you use English function names and hope that everyone will understand them to the necessary degree.
I'm surprised too. This algorithm is about understanding language, and surely that includes understanding the intended usage. This is something humans have to do all the time. So what if there isn't a formally archived consensus on the definition of "landed" as used in the example. The intended meaning is clear, and so hats off to the algorithm for rolling with it, that is in my mind the fundamental goal of understanding language.
There were other French programming languages, e.g. Logo in French which was used in schools along a physical turtle (see http://gautard.pierre.free.fr/la_tortue_jeulin_t2.htm for a picture) that you could pilot to draw on big sheet of papers, or WLangage from WinDev.
But AFAIK all these were just translations of English programming languages, not original creations. And didn't really caught on.
That is a really great way of geofencing programming as a job where you can use the same knowledge basically everywhere. A really terrible idea imo.

But there are already (joke) projects that do this:

True, not everything does need to be logged. General chit chat being ephemeral is fine.

But a lot of communities use it for a lot more than basic chit chat. I've seen open source projects where relevant info is only shared on their Slack server and nowhere else. Companies often get useful resources shared on their Slack instances that never gets backed up elsewhere for later.

And in the gaming world, it seems like Discord is the default method of communication for the game development, modding, speedrunning and hacking/datamining communities. For instance, most of the relevant techniques used for speedrunning Zelda Breath of the Wild are only found in the Discord server, or a Google Docs linked from it.

There needs to be a separation of the ephemeral from the non ephemeral here, and communities need to share the latter on publically accessible sites instead.
I've used tor-browser and Brave's tor mode quite a bit. I've not really had problems with speed nor playing 480p video (if sites default to higher res it's sometimes a problem).

Captchas on some sites, for sure, sometimes a different route will fix it. Usually mainstream sites either block tor or work properly.
"All modern programming tools are based on the ASCII character set, which encodes Latin Characters and was originally based on the English Language. As a result, programming has become tied to a single written culture. "

And that's good. That means "we" hackers/programmers/developers/coders/whatever share something in common, no matter our culture/country/religion/beliefs/whatever. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying it's a thing of beauty.

BTW, I'm not a native english speaker.
