Is all this talk of everything up to and including war seriously proportional to the thread that is... China being chosen to build some 5G infrastructure?

Difficult not to disregard the whole post as trolling, or even CCP information warfare, given this incredibly reductionist, simplistic comment.

The CCP's China ascend is no good news, other than for the CCP themselves, foreign agents embedded in Western democracies, and, for a short period of time, useful idiots.

In any case, such ascend has been greatly exaggerated, for internal chinese nationalistic consumption. Which is funny given your post. We've been hearing all this time how great the chinese century was going to be, yet IP theft is as rampant as ever, as if China couldn't actually lead to the point others stole from them. In terms of human rights, they're far behind even the newest and poorest western style democracies. They manipulate their dual currency system, and WTO must have run of space tracking all cases of them.

China hasn't even attained world leader status yet, and the meltdown is already happening to them. No amount of fancy orwellian tech can replace checks and balances and the Rule of Law. Every one of these crises more chinese citizens realize how oppressive the CCP boot on their temples is. Not the hypocrites living the Western life with dad's CCP money, sure.

And you're mislead if you think it's not a bipartisan issue in the US. Problem is that current and last Dem heads, from Clinton to Biden, including Obama, are in the CCP's pockets, so the impression is that only the GOP cares. Wait till the campaign heats up.

Intersting. In my anecdotal experience cynics tend to speak in a very confident matter-of-fact tone that suggests others are fools for not embracing the cynical perspective. I imagine this gives cynicism an edge because people don't like to be perceived as too gullible or naive.

In defence of the OP, notice that they did not talk about the original intent of clang, which is as you mention. They talk about the main reason of its corporate sponsors, which is an entirely different thing. It seems plausible to me that these sponsors may have different motivations than the creator of the project.
Thanks! I hadn't heard of this method. One question though: What will prevent the ad providers from asking their customers to add an A/AAAA record to one of their IPs? That'll be much harder to combat for an adblocker especially because those IPs will usually be shared with actual content services.

Of course this'll add overhead to the visited website manager because the IPs will probably change regularly as they're pointing to cloud services. But I'm sure they'll manage to automate this.

I bet this will be the next step in this cat & mouse game.
The real question is if you gave people a choice of paying an extra $100 a year or having apps send tracking data, most people would pay the latter.

There are probably better approaches; for example you could disable loading modules for code you don't use - without the need to rebuild the whole thing.

It is common to have a rare disease: 7-8% of the general population has some sort of a condition that is classifiable as a rare disease

I personally have 2, both of which affect my peripheral nervous system.

Getting diagnosed is basically like having a bomb dropped on you. Nothing can prepare you for it, and it takes a long time to heal from the news, if you ever do.

The vast majority of rare diseases have no government health regulatory system approved treatment. I believe 95% do not.

Treatment is often for symptom relief, and typically modification of the disease process itself is not possible. However, in some cases, drugs can be repurposed.
The author wasn't claiming that react and co are bad for development. Rather that they are great for particular use cases and inferior to other options for other use cases.

I think that's undeniably true.

You hinted at something that to me is a key point: A lot of web apps are built by teams at big organizations.

In that environment trends are compelling because they keep everyone on the same page. It's easier to onboard people, it's easier to hand things off, easier to maintain going forward.

That makes a strong case for using the latest frameworks even when they aren't the best solution for a particular problem but it doesn't make it right from an efficiency or user experience perspective. There are a lot of reasons why arbitrary complexity is expensive. One example: what happens when your page load times start to rise above the threshold where it starts hurting organic traffic? You probably don't scrap everything and start over, instead you hack solutions on top of what you already have. Now you've lost money in both free traffic, one time development costs and increased maintenance costs going forward.

Again it's not that react is bad, and either way people aren't going to stop using it for things it's not ideal for until another trend replaces or absorbs it. But I think there's value in seeing things for what they are, and having conversations about it.
In case anyone is curious, I found the solution:

Ah, I forgot to add: evaluating talks purely on anonymous talk proposals.

I admire conferences that rigorously aim for blind selection to give all speaker candidates a fair chance, but I feel that the audience occasionally gets the short end of the stick with a bad presenter.

> So what would work better?

I think a two-pass approach could work better.

The first anonymised pass is for rating and commenting on the written talk proposals.

A second pass, with candidate names revealed, would help fine-tune the lineup and make sure that it's the best it can be. It could also include watching the candidate's talks at other conferences, to see if they're good at communicating their ideas.

I agree! My original post was about not having very many things to talk about with my parents, especially if I was to start calling them multiple times per week. I still talk to them, it's just more like once per month.
A key detail here is you can't predict the future. We can all imagine situations where the long term bet pays better. We can even make that sort of prediction in a way that works a good amount of the time, even most of the time. Except sometimes it won't work out. We don't know in advance when that sometimes will be. Be prepared for either outcome I guess.
It occurred there is ample evidence it occurred. The fear I have is that once a government has a power it never goes away. No matter how well meaning the original intent is people you disagree with will eventually come to power and use that power against you.

U.S. to Accuse China of Attempts to Hack Coronavirus Research
As a long time user of vimwiki with an awful lot of hacks and plugins to work for doing something like this, margin seems like the kind of thing I was originally looking for. Vimwiki is great but suffers from having almost no machine readability, which makes integrating it with things like time tracking difficult without large, complex plugins.

However, margin doesn't really seem to have any equivalent of links between files, which I find essential for organising thoughts in anything beyond small notes.
This seems like something that's contrary to the philosophy in a sense, but what would be the margin-ish equivalent of something like that, and (following from that) things like file tags? Would those be done with annotations?
Validating the effect Of Lockdown on Covid-19 using Python
Exposing something as files is kind of like a "protocol". The alternative would have been a library (implemented in a language) that would make things confine itself to the ecosystem of the language. Instead, anyone who can talk to files and directories can interact with this program!

There are applications where this may not entirely be a match though..
It tracks rare surnames, so there aren’t many distant cousins to skew the results. The point of focusing on rare surnames is so that you can be more certain that people carrying them today are actually direct descendants of people in the old records.

Second thing is that the fortune is typically not tracked here, because it’s really hard to get any historical data about fortune of any individuals, much less those not so famous. What Clark et al do is track status, and average out: for example, you can look at the people who graduated Oxford hundreds of years ago. As it turns out, their descendants today are overrepresented among UK’s doctors and lawyers. On the other hand, people carrying common job-related last names, like Smith or Taylor, are underrepresented as lawyers and doctors. In fact, in today’s UK, people carrying last names of Norman conquerors are still overrepresented among high status occupations in UK, although not by much, given a millennium of a regression towards the mean.

I recommend reading the book, it’s great.

I think a lot of people have the same experience with paper vs a device -- even an e-reader. Even if it's just a placebo, it's still valid.

I had an old Kindle Keyboard (wifi.) I struggled reading off of that thing -- whereas this new Kobo Libra actually looks like paper and is a breeze to read off of, which may also be a placebo. :)
There's this current love affair with Denmark and I'm genuinely intrigued. Can you take this tiny model and actually extrapolate it? Is it as great as some would say? It seems people outside Denmark are more vocal about it than locals.

I recently watched this special documentary (I'll try to recover the source) where they interviewed locals. And they said yes it's great and it's very progressive so long as you follow the Danish way and don't veer off too much. And to me, no matter what "research" you have, that speaks volumes regarding freedom. Can you actually be different and not only enjoy life, but truly succeed while being different there compared to other countries?

And would the Danish way contribute what the USA has to the world (even adjusting for population) in such a short period of time? Just my opinion, but I don't think so.

Now it does seem that if you were to pick a country that would have the largest % of people happy, and that was your ideal, you'd be a Dane. But if you believe in individual liberty, high achievement, competition, and diversity, then there is no comparison. USA or some other countries.

I'm not saying one is good and one is bad. We're talking about fundamental differences so whatever floats your boat.

But I think what we are seeing is a lot of people trying to fundamentally alter a country who's sole foundation, despite its warts, is responsible for its success. And they're trying to cheerlead a small country's identity to do so.

Regarding Bernie - the argument for him as a libertarian candidate is nonsense. He has no regard for states' rights.

> and accordingly receive much more than 37% of the financial benefits of government spending

what?
Vastly disagree. I am an instrument rated pilot about to take a commercial checkride and using the seat of the pants to determine coordination is a very bad idea. The turn coordinator is part of your instrument scan and “stepping on the ball” is a fundamental skill that you learn during primary training. In the clouds, you can be in an uncoordinated turn and not “feel” it because your inner ear is doing one thing, your eyes are doing another and using “feel” is a great way to crash. The FAA specifically advises to not fly by the seat of your pants due to the dangers of spacial disorientation. Teaching pilots to listen at all to physical sensations is teaching them how to die. Not hyperbole, but fact. VFR pilots can and should trust their eyes and look outside, but any CFI trying to train coordination through “feeling” is setting the student up for a very dangerous habit. Your inner ear lies to you. The majority of the airmanship training you get in the instrument rating is designed specifically to teach you how to ignore your body.

What standard would you impose on hate speech. By what rubric do we ascertain what speech should be tolerated. If that rubric is flawed as everything can be flawed how do you challenge it.
I have found that this can be a dangerous gamble on the part of the cynic. Often the cynic's argument can't even withstand a single clarifying question. The first person to ask "can you explain in detail why this won't work?" can often elevate themselves above the level of the cynic, sometimes humiliating the cynic in the process. I have experienced this from both perspectives and as a bystander. Today I try as much as I can to be the problem-solver instead of the cynic. I try to do it in a way that gives the cynic a way to save face, though - it's almost never a good strategy to humiliate a team member.

Just to be clear, there's not a subtext to this question (and I'm less that two years out of school so I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to me anyway), but would you mind laying out your approximate ranges for mid-career in both of those categories? Are you assuming a retirement age of mid-60s? Mid-70s? Between 5-10 years in a field? 10-20? Does it correlate with a particular approach or competence in their field? How does that contrast with your characterization of the "SV type of mid-career"?

I've seen comments like yours a few times, and don't think I really have a useful reference frame to fully understand what people mean by it. I'd appreciate any insight you (or anyone else that cares to chime in) might have on it.

Just one thing. How do you reuse components on client and server side and at the same time keep the component encapsulated. For example I don't want my component to have a bit of php, a bit of JavaScript and then couple my JavaScript to the class that php gives me. This is a huge hack. If you have 2 states, they have to be both on JavaScript and php land... Not a waste?

React solves this huge problem.
I had 30 min in a certified helicopter simulator earlier this year.

The sim was built out of an actual fuselage (Sikorsky S-76) with full controls, visuals were 8x projectors on a curved wall in front of and around the cockpit. Everything was bolted to the floor, no movement anywhere.

After 10-15 minutes I did a hard bank and my gosh, the whole world moved, and I could have sworn I was about to slide out of my seat. I panicked that I didn't have a harness on.

The instructor laughed and said that was quite normal and that many people get very motion sick.

So yeah, I can see that motion sickness, with the "right" setup, could easily be a thing.

Eventually a document web might become interactive. For example you start with something basic, now you want to show some animations. For example in geometry visualization.

Sometimes you just need something dynamic. I need it in 99pc of my websites. Why would I start with plain js, and then move to react. Plus I already have a base in react that can be shared with all websites. Much easier to maintain all in react than a mix
I'm about halfway toward a PPL myself and have been trying to practice with a simulator. My biggest complaint is that control inputs seem to be almost completely different from the real thing. Maybe it's the hardware I'm using, maybe it's my own lack of experience, probably some combination of the two... but it's been a mixed bag for me, largely due to the controller situation.

For example, I explicitly stopped using a supposedly more realistic yoke controller in favor of a HOTAS joystick because I repeatedly found that I just _can't_ translate the physical inputs to a real plane. Yoke controllers in particular seem hard to get right (or maybe mine is just bad), but more generally, PC controller axes have a surprisingly low resolution (just 256 steps on an axis) making them wildly less precise than real thing, plus there's no force feedback. Using a completely different (and more precise) type of controller seems to help keep my brain from drawing conclusions it shouldn't.

Simulators _do_ seem helpful for more abstract stuff, like going through checklists, practicing maneuvers, experimenting... so long as you're very intentional about what you're trying to learn. I think I benefited some from practicing ground reference maneuvers [0] in X-Plane with a VR headset, for example, since they're largely visual and aren't tightly tied to physical inputs. On the other hand, practicing stalls in the simulator has probably lost me a decent amount of time in the air with my CFI trying to un-learn the wrong ideas I picked up, due to both control differences and (I think) simulation differences.
