There's usually trade-offs when it comes up to those highly optimized libraries. Utf8json doesn't have nearly as many features as more universal serializers. HyperLinq requires you to write boilerplate code for each custom collection you wish to support, and won't work on AOT platforms (such as Unity targeting the IL2CPP runtime, which happens to be the use case that would actually heavily benefit from such optimization).
That's missing the point. It can be a postal code, or a random point within a 10 mile radius, or something else.

How the VC asset class is doing
I used to get pretty motion sick too, especially growing up, but now I'm able to read novels fine on the bus and that thing feels like the wheels are square. Maybe a tolerance builds, who knows.
This would be true in a purely deflationary economy with a medieval currency like physical gold (no paper notes on gold either). Saving would be rewarded and investment could typically only be profitable at someone else's expense. For most of history this was the case. But now that money is printed, wealth is positive sum. Everybody can win. The money that a VC makes from a business originally comes from credit, and the VC reinvests that new money to turn it into new credit eventually via central banks, and money is created recursively. It is not intuitive. People seem to assume the simpler gold-based model is how our economy works when it hasn't been the case for a while.
‘ No one on either side of the conflict , then or now, has a satisfactory theory of why Carrie Lam won’t form an independent inquiry into police violence, the demand that is the emotional core of the protests.’

Does China have anything to loose with an independent inquiry into police violence ?

Same thing with Tesla cars: they are already remotely asking their AI in their cars to send back recordings that they are interested in by giving example photos. It's used for improving their self-driving and they say it's "anonymized", but it's a little scary thinking about how it could be used in the wrong hands (if there is a hack, or some agency forces them). For example asking for faces or to detect certain behaviors. It's not just stored data, but it's data ready for querying with powerful distributed AI in a self-driving remotely controllable car.

My biggest factor in choosing an Open Source Software platform is the size * activity of the community.

I think it would be a huge improvement to give me a sense of whether the product is well supported.

There are a few reasons for this...

1. I want to choose an OSS that will have security vulnerabilities resolved in a timely fashion.

2. I want the product to keep up with the times and changing landscape.

3. I want to be able to converse usefully in a forum to resolve issues.

4. I don't want to search for a new replacement product and undergo a migration because all the devs have abandoned the project in x years.

Rents are high, but every neighborhood (aside from straight up mansion neighborhoods where there aren't any jobs anyway) is going to have the same $1800-2000 1br apartments. Sometimes that apartment is nicer in some places, others more dilapidated, but the price point seems to be pretty constant all over town.

I don't deny that my idea will result in some degree of protectionism. I think that's worth it in this case in order to prevent the flight of profit to tax havens, but there are absolutely edge cases where it forms some barrier to free trade.

On the other hand, having pure profit in a foreign market without any costs there, doesn't sound like a terribile position to be in. And maybe local businesses could use a bit of an edge compared to multinationals.

No, I'm serious. Lisp is incredibly fast to write, and (with a bit of practice) is amazingly readable. People foreign to Lisp often look at it and without even slightest attempt to give it a try, immediately reject it as "hard to read".
But in reality, as I said - Lisp retains readability even on small screens, good luck trying that with literally any other programming language.
The only drawback of Lisp syntax I can think of - probably it is not a very good choice for white-boarding interviews.

It's useful for comparing architectures and the implementation thereof, to gauge the potential of one line of processors over the other.

I agree that for the customer it's not the right thing to be looking for.
But this shouldn't make a difference relatively. In most of Europe (every country I know salary data of), manufacturing engineers tend to get paid at least the same if not more than programmers.

Based on the linked MDN page (from the current top-rated comment) it sounds like the main point of this is to have a rewind-able debugger.
In case anyone is not aware: This is a very small sample of microbenchmarks. When benchmarking very simple tasks like these performance tend to vary wildly between architectures.

For instance instructions are assigned to one of a handful of ports when executed, certain instructions may only be assigned to certain ports, what ports an instruction may be assigned to differ between architectures. If an inner loop use only a few different instructions one architecture may be unlucky in that most of the instructions need the same ports, and so it can execute fewer instruction overall.

For real benchmarking use lots of different complicated jobs. It is not perfect, but it is the best way we have of comparing different processors head to head.

> I made it a rule not to work anywhere farther than half an hour away. And that is the absolute maximum which was necessary when I lived rural area.

To me it sounds like you're saying, "why doesn't she live closer to her workplace?" which carries with it a kind of subtext of blame. Reading the article a few possible explanations for her choice come to mind.

The author mentions she lives with her boyfriend's parents. Probably this is the cheapest possible living arrangement available to her. Living closer would probably require her to live independently, which tends to be more expensive. This may be compounded by more expensive rents closer to her place of work, which turns out to be a common problem for the working poor and an age-old cruelty of capitalism: Poor people have higher transportation costs -- both in terms of time and money -- because they can only afford to live far from urban centers where their jobs usually are. It's just one of the many ways the old saying "it's expensive to be poor" turns out to be objectively, measurably true.

It's also totally possible that none of the above applies and the author is not being smart with her money, or may have a drug habit, or may be "complacent". But we certainly shouldn't assume these things about her, because we just don't know her circumstances.

Apologies if this comes across as pedantic, but I think the mistake you may be making is projecting your narrow personal experience of your mother's problems onto a complete stranger, whose circumstances seem quite different than your mother's based on the article (the admittedly limited information we have about the author's situation).

It's heartening to see that you recognize your perspective may stem from your own problems with empathy. The author David Foster Wallace has written much (an understatement) about empathy and awareness, but probably the best short work of his about these subjects is this speech. I still find it to be a really good reminder of all kinds of things:

> I am no less fallible in my judgement today than I was when I was broke, the difference is that today I can afford to make bigger mistakes.

Nail on the head. People with money make just as many (if not more) mistakes with their cash than people who are struggling on minimum wage. They just don't feel it the same. Most people posting on HN aren't going to struggle to pay their bills if they go for coffee today, or even everyday this month.
The Hong Kong situation is much more complicated than mainstream media outside Hong Kong would like the world to believe, but that goes without saying.

The issue with the current HK government at the end of the day is that Carrie Lam is a second rate administrator and is wildly unqualified for handling the current situation in HK. Worse yet, she has one of the worst cabinets / teams ever assembled (you would need to be familiar with local HK politics to know this). In other words, HK couldn't have had a worse group to lead the city at this point in time.

Having said that, Carrie is completely reliant on the police force at this stage. There is no way she agrees to an independent inquiry or any major moves against the police. At least not right now.

I'd say that the independent inquriy may be something that can be compromised on at some point. But universal suffrage is out of the question, and demands 3 and 4 would never be accepted by the rest of Hong Kong nor would any reasonable person accept it given what has taken place since the original protests. In fact one of the key issues is that "the protest" isn't just one unified movement that has been moving forward since its inception.

Good point, I forgot about that one, although here there is only a single hot loop with one jump so a high chance the crossing doesn't occur, and even if it does the IPC is low enough the legacy decoder probably does OK (although it adds a cycle or two to misprediction recovery, which matters here).

So it's something worth checking.

Opposites are black and white, something and nothing. In conversation, you'll find that analogies are never the exact event they're being compared to, but something parallel enough to evoke a familiar emotion or memory. This isn't math, but you're approaching it as such.

The overlap here is simple. The question "What end-user OS does this?" was answered with...well, gibberish...and tptacek's reply resonated with me and reminded me of the dropbox comment. I think that's about as well as I'll ever be able to explain it. The fact that the two agree that there's a better solution is one facet of the discussion taken out of context, that doesn't even factor into my response or this whole spiel.

What I'd really like to ask though is what your motivation is for mounting such a defense. I seriously doubt it has to do with it having "very legitimate points" or you would've brought them up by now.
