(I'm not really here to discuss the pros and cons, false positives and what not here as it's a complex topic, but..) I have a medical every three years that involves a full body MRI and ultrasounding which monitors for both brain and aortic aneurysms. There are people who have caught aneurysms in early stages through such monitoring, but there are enough downsides to such screening that it's not something that would usually be recommended for everyone. My next is next week and I'm going to try and tweet as much of the process as I can since enough people have asked about it in the past.
Dune!

Sadly most of the depiction of 'thopters in Dune media have not been 'thopters but boring generic VTOLs. I think the only place where they actually had real bird-like 'thopters was the Dune RTS games.

Me not. Dill is to call coros with a native C ABI, whilst this is to orchestrate native threads, calls into the threads are setup via pipes, not function calls.

both are doing the most natural thing for proper concurrency. nthm with true concurrency (native threads). dill with fake concurrency, coros only, aka green threads.
While I agree, I think XKCD had a great take on this: https://xkcd.com/397/

I don't think that's the case myself. While I do think that the parliamentary system is better than the congressional system, I think it's more that the parliamentary system emphasises consensus-building and executive accountability more. This is especially apparent in countries where a form of proportional representation is used for elections.
It's not either/or. They have long-spans AND allow re-use.

I also have irrational thoughts on the matter. Few feelings:

- looks toyish and immature

- marketing trick to sell whatever as new and improved

- actually badly designed, something is wrong in all animations I've seen, it doesn't convey a warning but attracts attention and the light output is probably less contrasting because instead of full on / full off cycles, you get length of 5%, 10%,... up to 100 then off. [0]

"Keen on automating" is one of the few definitions of lazy that actually make sense.

If we need to get rid of anything, it's the pejorative meaning. Using the word that way is simply a way to get out of having to deal with the complex system that is human motivation.

If someone is consistently lacking in motivation, there are two responses:

1. Figure out why and be able to do something about it; or

2. Call them "lazy" and hope the problem fixes itself.

As a general rule, option 2 almost never works out productively. It just ascribes a systematic problem to a single person and nothing improves. If anything, things get worse because people's attitudes change, further reducing motivation.
How is it set up with SES? AFAIK they don't provide a POP/IMAP interface.

Yeah, this I get and, well, sympathise in a way. There is no war, but an ongoing struggle for staying ahead economically, and if this is a part of it, at least there is a logic to it.

I’m asking, is there really a security risk that Huawei might listen in on telecoms. Is traffic at the low level more vulnerable somehow? Is it the prevalence of unencrypted communications? Is it leaking of metadata that people are worried about?

Yes the USA commits human rights abuses. But this is a thread about China, and we shouldn't stop criticising China just because the US does something bad too.

PRC does lack proper civil society, and it all started with Mao and his cultural revolution. Compare PRC and Taiwan the difference is night and day in their respective governments' respect for human rights. It has nothing to do with orientalism and everything to do with authoritarianism.
Can confirm, I’ve been hit with it a few times when I messed up my sleep schedule bad enough. The first time I tried to just chill until it passed, and that was the longest 3 minutes of semiconscious ever.

Since then I’ve had decent luck forcing myself awake by using what little control I have to mess with my own breathing until I “wake up” but the whole process sucks, and usually makes me feel like I’m dying.
The US seems to be stuck in the 1950s, with much of the infrastructure and the attitudes in a similar state of stasis.
The US however hasn't lost its role model status, despite embarrassments like Bush (unless your definition is different). The petrodollar is just as powerful as ever, the dollar is the most powerful currency still, and US hedgemony is just as powerful.

It's as if coding is painted in this herculean way, as if it works /against/ you when you're doing it and it's some monumental task. Aim for /flow/ where the task is hard but not too hard that you can't do it fast enough or efficiently enough, and you enjoy the challenge.
Another thing to remember about Canada is that we don't use cash as much as the US. Cash accounts for less than half (44%), by volume, of transactions in Canada. I'm not sure what the split between Interac (direct debit from your bank account) and credit cards is, but the mechanics of the transaction are almost identical - Interac prompts you for an account to pay from, both prompt for your PIN.

The crucial part of this is that they are only able to be arseholes because they are successful.

Nobody does a favour to someone who is a dick, unless they have to.

I was/am a sysadmin. I am successful precisely because I'm not a dick to people. I am helpful which means I got promoted, and a reputation for being useful. When people moved to better companies, they would recommend me.

This not because I was a better engineer, its because I was useful.

Power and Authority
The power tussle in the world today is not an unprecedented issue, the arbitrary use of power and authority has become so overwhelming that the faith of a common man is yet unknown. How do we address the issue of power intoxication when the leaders we look up-to to set things right are themselves intoxicated. Many people almost believe that arbitrary use of power is part of Africa heritage until this most recent times that people beginning to vie this perception differently. No doubt power intoxicate, "absolute power corrupt absolutely" this maxim is not just for a particular race, region or ethnicity, it is a maxim that describe human beings capability.
Sustainable Pace is one of those good buzz-terms to throw around - sure you can be fast, but is it sustainable?

It's a good attitude to have in life and work as well - sure, you can do 16 hour binge working days, but for how long can you sustain that? Can you keep that up until retirement, whenever that may be? Is it worth it?
From what I understand, most glider clubs are always looking for new members. Maintenance of the winch, gliders and landing strip is expensive and more members means sharing the costs. One in my province has "introduction days" where you can sit in a two-person glider, in front of an instructor, for a small price or even free.
ECSY: A Highly Experimental Entity Component System for the Web
It wasn't until I went to the UK in my late 20s that I realized how badly America needs coins in the dollar and two dollar denomination. Having spare coins with weight and mass rather than loose dollar bills helped me get a sense of how many loose singles I had, and being able to drop a couple coins on a counter to pay for cheap items (a bag of M&Ms, a cup of coffee) is somehow, I don't know how, but somehow more ergonomic.

Those are typographic eccentricities, to be pedant :)

And they're not even that uncommon on the Internet and amongst tech people. (See the Jargon file[1], for example.)

But I get your point: pedantry is often needless, and sometimes even lacks proper justification (see taejo's comment). But it's difficult to stop seeing errors when you see them, so I would forgive the parent for being that Hacker News guy.

I'm not sure if this gentleman has a thesis but Harvard online education is worth not much. The whole value proposition of Harvard is that you socialise and bond with the sort of people who get in to Harvard. You probably have the phone number of whoever runs Goldman Sachs [0] and you know the President of Whereveristan's daughter because she was in your class. The little things in life.

It is possible but unlikely that Harvard has Secret Math and Unknown Physics that their undergrads are exposed to, but their literary and philosophical studies are going to have access to the same books as everyone else. Online-only Harvard has as much value as any top-10% university on the globe. There is absolutely no shortage of incredibly clever people who are willing to explain things to a student. I think we had an article the other week pointing out that hiring a private tutor is a better option if what matters is the quality of education.

According to [1], Huawei employs 1,500 people in the UK. I'm curious - if anyone from Huawei UK is reading, how is this news being perceived?

Perhaps I was overly grumpy. But I get pulled into these discussions a lot. The company now has a very strong newly (2 years) developed "buy not build" mentality.

Half the products we have bought have had full internal teams to support. And many don't suite our needs, so we have enitre development teams building abstractions that are more complex than the product we bought so we can use the product we bought. And some of those abstractions have been in development for 2 years so no one can use the product yet.

My only point is that buying vs building is complex. When you boil that down to a tool that essentially says always buy, it causes a bit of PTSD for me.
On my desktop PC, the plug to the power button + lights is actually split into its component parts, and each component is labelled. So I can connect to each pin on the motherboard header separately. This made it easy to yank the power and HDD activity lights, while keeping the power and reset buttons enabled.
From the current feature set, both are similar. Future features aside, the main difference is the file format:

Why I went for HTML is the ability to embed images (via data URI). This allows for a note to be a single, standalone file that can easily be shared or moved around without losing track of its images.

Even if you want to open a note in 20 years from now you can do so with a browser (assuming HTML will still be around then). You'll get a fully formatted document. For Markdown you can always use a text editor, but to get formatting and images to show, you'll need a Markdown compatible app.

UPDATE:
I gave Zim a try and noticed another difference, file format aside: the app I'm working on will show all files in your folder structure, including PDFs, etc. It renders a preview with QuickLook and allows to open the document with its default app.

This comes in very handy when you want to mix & match notes and other documents. For example, let's say you have a hotel reservation as PDF, you could attach a note with driving directions all in the app.
I disagree. Reports about China from many western media tend to exaggerate things about China, mostly influenced by western politics, not good at all. Also, western media tend to report selective facts to only show things they want people to hear and see.

The right to life is the first clause of human right, which I see they are violated in many western countries. They refuse to treat the poor and old. Do you hear China criticise? Maybe they are, but for sure western media choose not to report them.

Freedom of speech is a relative term in today’s world. I can say some of the things you shouldn’t say in China are equally not welcomed in many western countries. If you split US, see how many troubles could come to you?

On democracy, I’m not sure what to comment. China has ran 4000 years under one empire system, and it’s just the culture there. Why democratic society is better than the 1 party system? What’s more important is to have the party represent people’s interests. In many democratic countries, each party represents the interests from certain groups, that’s why it’s necessity to have multiple parties perhaps.
The downsides to democratic system is also quite obvious. There are countless debate on many small matters which waste tax payer’s money etc.. Also, the democracy can be manipulated, and if it is the case, it’s worse.
You can, but that exposes you to currency risk because if you live in the US, you will almost certainly want your money converted back into USD when you want sell your investment to spend it but currency exchange rates changes over time.

> UK's mobile providers are being banned from buying new Huawei 5G equipment after 31 December 2020
Nowadays I just use tag@mydomain when I interact with websites.
Which does raise the question, why are we concerned about 5G when Huawei is presumably also behind much of the 4G and other existing infrastructure? What's the difference in terms of security risk?
Yo "Andy", you have nothing to offer by way of why huawei should not be banned. You go on a rant about racism and western war crimes which even if true don't imply that huawei is innocent and should not be banned.
You my friend are a nut case or more likely a CCP sympathizer if not an bloody agent.

By all means cite %, and still does not make it a concentration camp.

Further the DAs are themselves elected locally in many jurisdictions or appointed by locally elected officials and people can vote for change if they want it.

> It's a tough question: how to marry globalisation with the political realities.

Very simple explanation: it's impossible, unless the West can mow the rogue regimes left, and right, and is ready for a war with a nuclear power to do that.

> When China was very poor, it didn't really matter, or perhaps the assumption was that China would liberalise more quickly than it has.

Expecting a communist party to "liberalise" is effectively to expect it to kick itself out of power. The moment they loose power, their people will murder them. And if people wouldn't, then it would be their internal factions who will strangle each other without an iron handed big boss at the top maintaining internal order.

There is no way out for them. Their only way to avoid being torn apart alive is to stay in power, and their only way to stay in power is to exert, push, and expand it.

For them, to stop repressions, means to let their enemies to take the proverbial rifle from which barrel's the power grows, and to seal their fate, essentially to voluntarily chose death.

Any totalitarian system has an expiration date for this very reason.

In case of China, what that means is an instant gulag, or worse for 5 political dynasties:

1. Few remnants of Mao, and his wife's reign, and their confidants for, well, everything.

2. Deng Xiaoping's era communist billionaires, who will have to return millions they stole from the state in eighties.

3. Shanghai people, and Jiang, who will have to at least surrender their posts, and titles which they bought, and sold illegally, and all privileges coming with them.

4. Hu's clique, whose members will have to surrender their businesses, and stocks which they got through connections

5. And finally, Xi, and his friends, who managed to make a bigger mess in their 8 years in power, than the three previous dynasties combined.

Put it simply, do you expect a thief to voluntarily give a gun to the person whom he just robbed? An expectation that the West can share the planet with rogue regimes, is an expectation that a kleptomaniac, and a really rich person can live under the same roof. Even if the later can keep the former compliant under a gunpoint for some time, eventually the former succumbs to his urges, and the later has to shoot.

You probably wouldn’t see a browser as a security risk either. In a recent example, all the big Chinese browsers blocked or rewrote the content on GitHub’s 996 repo. Imagine if Chinese browsers became mainstream, then they could rewrite Wikipedia articles, insert their own links/propaganda in google results, Facebook feeds, change download links to include a version bundled with spyware, etc. They already demonstrated that they’re willing to do it with the GitHub repo.
