You appear to be conflating the two Indochina wars, and seem to be claiming I said America didn’t intervene when I used the expression “American intervention” so I’m not sure we’re even going to be able to find a common fact base to discuss this.

You really don't come across as somebody interested in convincing the general public here. Or particularly aware of what the general public actually trusts. 71% of Americans say that “any voter should have the option to vote early or absentee without having to document a reason." And the areas with the most experience with more relaxed approaches to voting are the ones most likely to agree with that.

It is true that pure vote-by-mail is the thing that that people are most skeptical of. But almost nobody is 100% opposed to mailed votes; people are fine with absentee voters, military voters, etc. And California's experience shows that people get more comfortable with mail voting as they have more experience with it. Since 2012, the majority of votes have been cast absentee (which is a mix of mail and drop-off): https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/historical-absentee/

So if you'd like to convince the general public, the thing to do is to allow both approaches and let people pick. Especially during a global pandemic, I think we'll see a lot more people liking the idea of mail-in voting than they did in past surveys.
I'm Japanese and I agree that Firefox behavior makes sense.
For example, a text with kanji like "その機能拡張は、", A word "機能拡張" consists of "機能" + "拡張" words.
In Chrome, double-click makes individual part (like 機能) selected which is rarely wanted behavior for me.
In Firefox, the whole word (機能拡張) is selected, which is wanted mostly.

Ask HN: Is Web Search Broken?
These days I have been having hard time to find great content on search, too many irrelevant search results popping up whenever I searched for some subject I want to learn.

Do you think it's because of search or SEO pumped content? Maybe both?
I’ve written shortcut code like this for at least 20 years. Mostly for fun and to mock up quicker. The article was a fun thing not a style guide.

I prob wouldn’t on a major project but only because there’s negligible cost savings.

I find the browser arguments (no pun intended) kinda weak. You can test on a couple platforms and have 100% of an internal corporate environment and 99% of the public internet user agents covered.

All programming is choices and opportunity cost. We make decisions based on maxing the value/cost equation. It may make sense for me to cover 99% of user agents and say screw the 1% if my cost benefit warrants it.
OP here, I was not referring to it working JSFiddle, just the idea of Chrome shipping with a Japanese tokenizer. I've known people to do stuff like compile MeCab with emscripten to get Japanese tokenization in Electron, so the fact that the functionality was there already (even with lower quality) was surprising.
Thanks! I really enjoyed the group conversation format and I am looking forward to seeing some more of your content.

..or just do not use variable names smaller than 3 characters if they do not mean anything, period. There is no difference in coding time and no good reason whatsoever.
It has been said it is a library, but imo it is not for the reason how it forces you to write code according to their rules. For instance functional components. Most of the code you write is to fit React, so for this reason I would say it is a framework.
How are they worse? The API would just produce my timeline, for example. The raw data. And only with my credentials. How is it different from just browsing? Except the ads, the spying, etc.

While a statement in the brief that certainly leaves a lot of details omitted, you are of course correct; as the main gist is the same as yours; their cultural production was pitiful. Romans admired the Greeks when it came to culture, and adopted as much as they could. Incorporating other culture's gods into their own pantheon was a common occurrence for Romans, they were not afraid of other cultures.

There is still some historical debate over whether the Romans who founded Rome were actually Greeks (which they were according to their own legend), that simply adopted the local language from the local Latins, and then conquered them. Or whether they were their own unique tribe in central Italy, and not a foreign invader. I am honestly not sure what the historical consensus is these days.

OP here, surprised to see this took off.

I actually work with Japanese tokenization a lot - I took over maintenance of the most popular Python Mecab wrapper last year, and I have another Cython-based wrapper that I maintain.

Word boundary awareness for Japanese is a pretty uncommon feature in applications, so I was surprised to see the feature had been in Chrome all along, even if it's buried and the quality has issues.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who tracked down the icu imlementation and the relevant part of Chrome!

Just use a language where it's possible to implement those things in plain old code. When you have higher-kinded types you don't need any bytecode manipulation, you can just have a type that wraps anything that needs to happen in a transaction, and compose together transactional operations in a visible but type-safe way - and you don't even need the runtime cost.

How anyone can look at Java as it's actually used and say Scala is too complex is beyond me.
Beautiful Pointers
LibreSSL is the only fork. Only openbsd and Void Linux use it. Void is considering abandoning it due to:

* software compatibility. Notably Qt does not support LibreSSL and Python hashlib disables a few important crypto algorithms with libressl. Other various packages require some patching, which distro maintainers are uncomfortable doing for unfamiliar and security critical code.

* performance. The portable version of libressl does not generate assembly used to accelerate important crypto algorithms on several CPU architectures such as ppc64el and aarch64.

* slowness to implement tls 1.3. Which is a funny one since tls 1.3 is what caused openssl's most recent vulnerability.

Other notable tls implementations include rustls, gnutls, bearssl, and boringssl.
Interestingly enough, I just saw this the other day posted on HN: https://www.journalduhacker.net/
Fc and hooks force you to think in an entirely different manner though. I would say it is an entirely different paradigm. And it is a much higher learning curve.

For instance I see a lot of developers and engineers with 6 months and more experience with functional components and still misunderstanding the point of all of this. And these are smart people at high tier companies.

The main thing being the meaning of having dependencies for useEffect and other hooks.
A lot of companies in the Bay Area will cut your pay if you move to another state which has a lower cost of living. At some companies it is an official HR policy -- compensation is adjusted for cost of living.

Don't expect to continue making Bay Area money after moving to another state unless you get an official guarantee from HR that your compensation won't change. If you stay in California you will probably be fine but you should still make sure.

Ask HN: What is your creative outlet?
> For non-quantum objects, this isn’t a problem, as different methods of measuring an object all give you the same answer. Whether you use a measuring stick (like a ruler), high-definition imaging, or a physics-reliant technique like Brownian motion or gravitational settling, you’ll arrive at identical solutions.

Right off the top, it's made clear this author doesn't know what he or she is talking about. From at least the time of de Moivre, around 1740, the problem of estimating an accurate true value from multiple differing measurements was recognized in its own right as a problem. By 1810, Gauss and Laplace had discovered the basics of statistical estimation, the form of the normal distribution, results including the central limit theorem, and regression techniques such as non-linear weighted least squares. Now, almost 200 years later, the problem still exists, and is being worked on in various forms and circumstances.

To give a simple example, take 1000 frames of well-exposed video of a still scene, with constant illumination, and constant exposure settings on the camera. Now try to estimate how many photons, within a constant multiplicative factor, are coming from each point in the scene. Most of the measurements will show a normal distribution, but at the extremes of exposure, something more complex is going on (perhaps to do with sensor non-linearity, censored sampling, or something else). This is one of the basic theoretical problems in HDR imaging, and is an active area research (i.e. unsolved, as of today).

It's very hard to get past that paragraph -- which is the first one in answer to the question "why?".

"Finland has decided to change this in their educational system and introduce something which is suitable for the 21st century." - evidence?

"In Phenomenon Based Learning (PhenoBL) and teaching, holistic real-world phenomena provide the starting point for learning." - this sounds like the corporate market babble.

" choose from phenomena from their real surroundings and the world, such as Media and Technology, or the European Union." - and so Greek Literature fits into this how exactly?

Finland it seems has maybe the best education system in the world, and like a programmer never satisfied, has to do a ground-up re-factor?

"you are now thinking the PhenoBL way!" - this feels like a cult.

This all sounds interesting, maybe it's something they should try in district or two for a few years, before doing this across the country?

Perfect music for that scene.

One thing Annihilation did for me was really get me to the point mentally where I could start to appreciate just how mindblowing it is to encounter such different life like in the movie. By the time the end of the movie came around, I could really get a grip on how horrifying the "choreographed" scene would be, or encountering a floating mandelbrot set, c'mon. That is pure terror.

And that's not an easy perspective to hold on to in a world that barrages me with so many sci-fi/fantasy movies and ideas.
Well they did say many. How many? One? Is the Middle East part of the West now? Or only allies of the West? I actually don’t even know how to answer that question but I do see your point.

I'm sure there are some extremely design-heavy sites that do it, but by then you would be fighting the DOM/CSS pretty hard, as default behaviors for stuff like underline position and 縦中横 (short bursts of horiz text within vertical text, for things like two-digit numbers) seem to be sketchy at best, and many things still don't seem to be uniform across browsers. UX would be affected as well, as things like text selection or right-clicking would feel quite awkward as it is so exceedingly rare. While us Japanese are fully capable of reading both horizontally+LtR and vertically+RtL, it's not in our expectations for the latter to appear in online web text.

Luckily, social distancing worked better than expected: peak daily US death was reduced to approximately 2,700 rather than approximately 3,000. And the curve was flatten more than expected with the death rate remaining at peak longer.

> generally I would expect a higher level of competence from the leaders of our public...institutions

Speaking from the American perspective, I think people broadly assume a level of competence in elected leaders but either aren't able or simply don't care to seek out and identify leaders who meet the standard. There are a lot of factors in play here - time, attention span, media, political polarization, etc - but at the core it feels like there are huge numbers of voters today who simply don't appreciate how hard it actually is to do these jobs well.

There's a quote from the West Wing that sums this up pretty nicely:

"Yeah, but a funny thing happened when the White House got demystified. The impression was left that anybody could do it."
That doesn't cycle through the previous arguments.

Somewhere on reddit I saw an info graphic showing what parts of the US were dominated by food delivery businesses. Uber Eats was apparently the top delivery service in the Georgia region. I don’t recall them being anywhere else.

I have this weird feeling with people ordering out food, Uber could easily shift to being a delivery service.

1) You keep your fit economy workers employed.
2) They have an app to tell them where to go from point a to point b for deliveries.
3) People are shipping more things across town and social distancing.

Honestly for what I do for my job, I’d rather pay an Uber to pick up the equipment I need to ship out biweekly and take it to UPS to get boxed and shipped. Sort of a TaskRabbit for deliveries.

The whole bad image Uber gets for drivers sexually assaulting passengers or even attacking passengers goes away.

Isn't this a license violation?

That depends. If people who buy "their" software get the modified source along with it, and it's also under the terms of the GPL, then they are compliant AFAIK. They can also just put up a link to download the source, but IIRC, that's not required if it's shipped with the CD (or whatever kind of media they are distributing).

OTOH, if they are really complying and releasing their patches under the GPL, you could spend the $19.00 to buy one of their distributions, then turn around and put their patches back into your base software if you wanted to.
I have been talking about vote-by-mail only, and I made that clear in a previous reply to you, so arguing for any vote by mail, as though I oppose it, comes across as a strawman.

That's exactly what the majority of states do, but CA is forcing vote-by-mail only. Also, I was courteous enough to post my sources when talking about public opinion, I would appreciate the same courtesy.

In this particular case it is mainly the value of the investments in DiDi, Yandex.Taxi and Grab. Once those will bounce back, Uber will have a very profitable quarter. Of course then it will be ignored as just increased value of investments.
