Neil Shen has been crowned number one on the Forbes Midas list of VCs for three years running. Since setting up Sequoia's presence in China in 2005, he has made hugely successful investments that can be traced to the emergence of China's digital economy. In fact, most of the 22 Chinese VCs on 2020's Midas list have made their most successful investments in mobile internet companies. With this in mind, is it possible to predict where the next hotspot of mobile internet companies will be?

What's truly impressive is if you decide to creep a bit, you'll see that loads of users from that thread still post on HN pretty actively.

HN has an insanely high retention rate for being just a little news sharing site. Most people get bored, pissed off, or uninterested at some point and leave. Looking at 10 year old tweet threads or reddit comment sections is basically a graveyard in comparison. Not sure what keeps people sticking around here.

In a couple days, it'll have been 10 years for me. Crazy.

I highly doubt that. Assuming that Biden wins, there will be an immense shit-sling from the Republicans for four years, and if Biden will be as centrist as it seems at the moment, then the frustrated Democrat Left will also put pressure on him for the whole time.
Relying on GC to clean up finite resources such as open file descriptors is a risky idea because you can run out of file descriptors or other resources in between GC invocations.

You absolutely can use AutoCloseable for things like logging. SLF4J, for example, provides MDC.putCloseable() which is designed to be used in a try-with-resources block.

As for how AutoCloseable works:

try (SomeAutoCloseableObject thing = SomeClass.someMethod()) {
...
}

is effectively just syntactic shorthand for

SomeAutoCloseableObject thing = SomeClass.someMethod();
try {
...
} finally {
thing.close();
}

That's it. There's no GC magic involved; it just calls "close" which is just an ordinary method that can have any arbitrary code in it. (I should add: try-with-resources isn't EXACTLY equivalent to the second example. But it's close enough for purposes of explanation.) The official docs explain it in more detail with more examples: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions...
I get it, but I also don’t get it. Is he saying that for this particular task, a task that is important but not urgent and therefore easy to deprioritize, it’s better to have an autonomous team who gets the job done not by communicating or coordinating with anyone else, but by hacking around any obstacles? I guess it makes sense but it’s very surprising.
> and are much more likely to kill pedestrians and cyclists when involved in collisions

I rammed into the back of an Uber Cadillac SUV (who had hit someone in front of them) on the highway doing about ~50-60km/hr upon collision and my subcompact car completely crunched in while the SUV bumper barely had a scratch.

This almost makes me want an SUV rather than not. But I get what you're saying.

Yes, pretty much. I find an interesting paper, note its DOI, go to sci-hub to download it. Never tried to search on sci-hub itself.
Some people are (book) authors professionally, some people are authors recreationally, some people are authors professionally exclusively, and some people are authors professionally but their primary monetization engine is elsewhere. If one believes that writing books generally isn't a sustainable occupation, I think that belief is likely under-nuanced.

(Ditto e-books or similar information products, by the way.)

Turning to the question of paid newsletters: I'm socially constrained from pointing at examples, both because in some cases I have non-public information and in some cases I would be perceived as having non-public information, and because there are heady professional considerations, but: there are definitely, definitely some people who sell information professionally who break the top end of the pay scale for people who are generally described as writers in more traditional media jobs.

Another way to put it is "I'm pretty sure I could sell 1,000 subscriptions at $20 a month within 6 weeks if I wanted that to be my job", which is not competitive with other things to do with my time but probably clears most reasonable bars for stable professional options. I think I'm very far from having the largest collection of people who'd pay to read my writing, the best writing, the most engaged userbase, the most lucrative decision points that users routinely apply my advice against, etc.

A big open question for the business model is whether one thinks there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people who could hit that bar (and, I suppose, whether one could tempt them from other options). Hundreds feels clearly wrong to me as an upper bound.

What is hard to understand is Quarkus.

And on its webpage

So correct me if I am wrong. Quarkus is an umbrella term for all the "selected" Open Source project that works perfectly on tops of Mandrel / GraalVM and Kubernetes?

It should be of no concern to the employer where I live; that's my decision and deciding my salary based on that is nothing but pure discrimination, no better than discriminating based on race or ethnicity. If you can afford to pay a certain amount of money to someone living near you then you can afford to pay the same amount of money to someone living in Romania. There's also the issue of calculating the cost of living - why should I trust a US based employer to be able to correctly calculate my cost of living if I live in Saudi Arabia?
I believe a station wagon was the suggested alternative. Love the attitude though :P.
if the comparison is accurate, the world you're enabling is one where custom drugs are as prevalent as custom chips and chem labs act as "foundries" to produce drugs. the role you play is to help customers with the design layer of the drug stack. if the parallels between the drug and semiconductor industries hold true, this framing would make it easier for investors to grasp the (massive) potential.

in the end, if your value tilts more toward logistics than IP, you may want to mine chemistry.com (?) for lessons, a startup from the dot-com boom funded by john doerr and kleiner perkins. the grand vision was to disrupt and streamline the logistics of the chemical industry.

I dislike them too. You didn't mention that they also mostly diesel in Europe too. But I'm actually considering buying one (a petrol one).

For a start, SUVs don't go off road. They are road vehicles. We had off-roaders for a long time in the form of Land Rovers etc. We called them 4x4s and they weren't really comfortable to drive on the road.

I like the idea of having the right vehicle for the right purpose. If I had to travel to work by car (which I've done before and don't want to do again), I would like to drive a Mercedes "Smart" or VW Up, or similar. These are crap, consumable, plastic cars, but they do the job just fine. For the weekends? A sports car or hot hatch would be fun. For long trips and camping? An SUV would be great.

SUVs and the much higher number of HGVs now also tear up the roads, which isn't great for your sports car. You'll have a better chance in an SUV yourself. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The problem is that, in the UK at least, it's really only possible to run one car for various reasons (even if you could afford the depreciation on multiple cars). So the SUV becomes the default. Also I just want a reliable car. I don't want it to be a project and constant worry that my investment is going to fall apart. That means Honda or Toyota. But if I have to choose between the regular hatchback or SUV, I might as well go SUV because it will be more fun. There's the Civic Type-R. I owned one, but I don't really want one of the newer ones (I don't need 300+ bhp in a hatchback).
But isn't brute forcing a long pepper very expensive?
A game-theoretic problem with positive sum games (as opposed to zero sum) is that apart from obvious focal points, there's no objective way to split the positivity of the payoff.

I've been brought up to "always leave something on the table", but I understand that other societies hold the opposite.
Yes it does not look very GDPR conformant. They may try to argue that the transmission of visited domain names serves a purpose (browser performance) and that the user agreed to that transmission by accepting the TOS etc. However, I think they may be in trouble as consent for data processing under GDPR needs to be given "freely" [1]:

"When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, [..] the performance of a contract[..] is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract."

As DDG's favicon-hack is not strictly neccessary for operating the DDG-browser, DDG would need to give users the option to opt-out of the favicon-retrieval, otherwise they may have "forced" the users to consent to the data processing, thereby voiding that consent as far as the GDPR is concerned.

Five common mistakes with React Hooks
I wonder how open source software would be received by local governments. The conditions of government contracts often provide for guarantees/penalties for the delivered software. Moreover, the barriers of entry are typically high, the bidder needs to have x years of "prior experience" with crazy compliance and insurance requirements.
By Spring 4.x it felt like the ecosystem had learned the value of staying close to vanilla Java - annotation-based configuration meant that there would be a (Java) reference to any class that was instantiated by Spring, constructor injection meant that there was less need for Spring-specific lifecycle methods like afterPropertiesSet() and it was more practical to write "dual-use" classes that could be used with or without Spring.

Whereas for me Spring Boot has the same feel as the bad old days of early Spring 3.x - lots of magical constructs that were impossible to understand unless you knew all the Spring specifics. A Spring Boot application will behave completely differently based on just which libraries happen to be on the classpath - the exact same code might start up a tomcat server when run one way and not when run another way - and has a whole host of new Spring-specific things that you have to learn if you're going to understand how your application is behaving.

> single package file containing everything that can be distributed for an HTML5 game. Like an SWF.

That's not necessarily an unqualified advantage. I'll say this for HTML5 and having multiple files: you can easily choose what to load and when, which means if you're smart you can load your game very quickly by prioritising only the most essential assets and degrading gracefully until the rest of loaded in the background. This means that people don't have to wait to start playing.

It is more work to do this, although not as much as you might imagine (particularly for sounds and music), but I'd say worth it.

I don't really know Flash - had very limited exposure to it about 17 or 18 years ago - so it's entirely possible similar mechanisms might have existed that I just don't know about.

You can also easily package up your game into a single file for deployment on mobile devices using something like Cordova, which basically just zips everything up.
You are just repeating what's already written in the link, it isn't very useful. Try to address users' concerns instead.

I use the manual desk at standing height most of the time. At this height, if I really bash on the keys of my mechanical keyboard then I can see a tiny movement in the monitor (which is on an arm clamped to the rear edge of the desk). Otherwise nothing. I don’t normally bash the keys like I’m trying to break them, so yes, while it’s possible to make it move artificially, in real life I don’t see any movement.

Well, mainly Status.im uses Nim, and there is one based in China I think (Some of their employees are regulars in the Nim gitter/irc/discord). Also, there is https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Companies-using-Nim , though I don't know how up to date it is.
Anyhow, there is not much jobs for either nim/d/haxe/... So, they are mostly used for personal projects. I wanted to use D however it didn't work out, so onto other languages :(
Yes, but that does not mean there would not be a silver lining.

This offer of residency is political and possibly symbolically negative for China, but in practical terms it does not hurt China at all.

Really? Isn't it more down to skillset? I tried to build some Flash games back in the day and really couldn't Nowadays, I can whip up an HTML5/Android PoC with Godot in a day.

I have to agree with the OP - it seems like less about the war on Flash and more about changing casual gamer behaviour. The reason those 100,000 players found it was due to platform discovery, rather than technology itself. If the users aren't looking for the games in the same way they used to, that's the bigger story.
It's also widening the gap between Dev and Ops. I was a developer for 6 years and started moving towards DevOps and trying to build relationships between the ops teams and the programmers. The programmers are always whining about not being able to use the latest language/tool/library/<<insert flash tech here>> while the ops team are just trying to make the pile of junk they've been handed work.

Spring, and Spring Boot most egregiously, work only to widen the gap between devs and ops. The developers have no idea what a Boot app is doing internally for 90% of its stack. The ops guys just want to stably deploy something that is well understood and supportable when it falls over. Not to mention the memory management headaches it introduces...

I moved away from JS early on in my career because it's mostly a disaster waiting to happen, but now the Java devs have the same potential to output a steaming pile of crap that they don't understand.

I have been employed in software development for almost 10 years and have written code for more than 15. I have worked backend, frontend(web and native, mobile and desktop), databases and testing throughout my time. I am currently updating my knowledge about frontend as I would like to return to it and I am most excited by opportunities to work in Rust. Throughout my career I have built a very systemic view point.

Because they have a good privacy policy. They would face legal consequences if they were lying. Nation state actors can presumably override privacy polices but it's better than nothing.
It increases the distance between the developer and the actual, deployable executable that they output. It's like all these JS libraries that allow you to spin up an app in 20 lines. It's meaningless garbage unless you understand the libraries, but the people who are writing those apps usually just copy and paste the code from somewhere.
106MB of source code is perhaps five million lines of code, if written in a typical way. Some people use longer lines, not so many "{" lines, but anyway.

Storing five million lines of code is cheap, sure, no question. But don't you feel curious about how why you need that much code in the first place?
Unicode offers two ways forward when you can't decode what you have, one alternative is an exception, you just fail because you weren't able to decode something.

The other is for any code unit that won't decode you emit U+FFFD the Unicode Replacement Character and then you carry on decoding.

For humans U+FFFD makes it obvious something is wrong, it's typically visualised as a black diamond with a white question mark. And for a machine it shouldn't match parsing rules, it isn't an alphanumeric, it isn't any of the common separator or spacing characters, so it's unlikely to be of use in an attack.
IIRC the minimum is supposed to be 0.5 photons of any given wavelength. This is what gets called “zero point energy”.

Except there are ways to go below that, like a Casimir cavity.

I find these things confusing because when people explain Casimir cavities they never bother to say why the justification for zero point energy existing in the first place doesn’t apply within the cavity.
Most of this "freedom" we "Apple users" don't have, is very theoretical. I don't feel I lack anything I would have on Windows/Linux/Android and I work more efficient, easier and without frustration. I'm happy to give up some "freedom" I don't need.
