No. Chinese imperialism is worse. They've already shown their fearful grasp over authoritarian censorship and surveillance technology by locking down Xinjang and throwing Uyghurs into concentration camps. There is no freedom of speech there, and the population has to endure repeated brainwashing through the education system, etc. China's Belt and Road initiative, saddling African countries with debt, and takeover of the South China sea may not be fully military conquests, but represent worrying economic warfare. The US has its fair share of problems, but we are by no means the authoritarian nightmare dystopia that China is.

Probably the most effective strategy would have been to diversify by posting various kinds of messages, some of which would be more effective and some of which would be less effective. Also would have been less likely to seem coordinated.

But the general sloppiness of the stratagem points towards not having the time / resources to do that.
Julia compensates for time lost by making a lot more use of it in the stdlib than, say, most CL implementations do. It is as if the julia people saw it and went "wow, this is good!" and had it in from the beginning. With their focus on maths, it is hardly surprising.

Oh, come on. You're pretending that the U.S. is not the world's sole superpower right now and that all the countries you just named aren't U.S. partners with hardly independent foreign policies. Or are you telling me that Saudi Arabia has better human rights than China? Because it's certainly not being pilled on anywhere as much by any of them.

Yes please, if we could have more software engineers working on mechanical/aeronautical/civil/<physical> engineering tools that would be great.

Currently the state of the art takes a long time to get out of PHDs and into industry, and when it does it is in the hands of a few companies that sell expensive software licenses.

You can access FOSS tools like open-foam but the average engineer doesn't have the skillset to also wrangle the tool as well as their domain problem.

An area I was always fascinated with but never had chance to dig into it was topology optimization to generate structures (or flow paths) to accomodate some given boundaries and physics.

I find that aggravating when I want to explore for new things especially when I don't know what I looking for. It used to be great to just explore around but it no longer working now.

What I find good, in a way, is that I get bored quick and get off Youtube, otherwise it could be a serious time blackhole.

I think the only way to escape their recommendation engine is to use an outside source to index youtube videos and control/randomize it better from there.
Not excited about the “less ambitious project”, but still better than being something that can’t be put in front of people. Glad you found Redash useful. :-)
Target Feature vs. Target CPU for Rust
OVH lets you chose the location of your servers even in the most basic offers.
My understanding is that DRAM processes are sufficiently different from logic processes that they tend to get dedicated fabs. So then companies like Apple would have to buy fab timeshare from RAM manufacturers that have no incentive (as far as I can see) to let them produce DRAM for less than whatever the bulk pricing is.
The UI is somewhat confusing; also, it seems designed to give a view of particular, selected streams and topics of interest, and doesn't always seem to keep up even with those -- but volume on my server is low enough that I want "all messages", and if there's UI which does that reliably... it's not signposted well enough for me to find it before my patience ran out.

> When you get let go

I'm sorry for going a bit offtopic, but I have noticed this weird linguistic contortion "get let go" often. Why the euphemisms? You get fired. It doesn't hurt to speak plainly. This "let go" expression seems weirdly childish, like how people say that someone "passed on" to avoid confronting the hard reality of death.

And I'm not picking on you, I know that almost everyone talks like this now.
Often see startups use this between product/engineering/cs/sales/marketing in maybe b2b saas companies.
Thanks, I haven’t experienced that. How painful. I agree with other posters here when I read about your problem in these comments. Personally I think of my manager and performance review more as symptoms or results of a process, rather than the source of anything. Promoting myself - Github, LinkedIn, trainings and brown bag sessions for my coworkers, program completion emails, those are part of my job just as much as personal learning, architectural planning, and writing code. In fact because I don’t want to fear for my job, they are almost more important. Perhaps it’s not the ideal. But it’s the job description. There are so many pluses to what is essentially a god-level nine to five grind: freedom, intellectual work, lots of money and benefits, etc. I just accept that some of these non-ideal extras are part of my deal. Hope I’m not preaching, trying to help.
That still sounds pretty bad. The person who fired you getting fired doesn't get you your job back.
Based on your lucid comments in this thread I’m guessing you were not selected for the jury.
Hey, thank you!

By activity I mean chat activity in a given post. Right now the ranking algo for "hot" is based on how many people are chatting + decay time function. It's somewhat simplistic for now (still mvp), but I have ideas for other signals that could be used to determine how relevant a particular conversation is. It's certainly vulnerable to being gamed, but I think there are ways we could try to limit that, and filter out noise etc.

One of my goals is to focus as much as possible on the conversation and build features around that. For instance instead of a "like" button, it could require a user to _write_ something relevant (just idea). I think the key is that we try new things, hopefully learn from ideas that have been tried elsewhere, and build a place for high-quality realtime conversations.

The site does follow the twitter/IG/twitch model where it's a flat user(nest) hierarchy, but I have considered later enhancing it to allow multiple users to manage a single nest which would allow both community-led or single-entity led. Right now the goal is just to get mvp features and start getting feedback! So thank you :)
There is always a fixed budget, so at some level stacking has to occur. Whether that's at the individual level, or team, project, department, business unit, etc. Unfortunately at some level politics / perception / who speaks the loudest always comes into play.

It's worrying how many people are purchasing firearms as first-time buyers who are also dis-incentivized from training due to the pandemic. Sure, many states mandate training before initially purchasing and/or carrying a firearm but that should be an ongoing thing.

At the start of the buying spree, gun ranges near me were all closed down and prevented the sort of practice that any responsible gun owner should have.

I appreciate people like Maj Toure and his organization Black Guns Matter who are going and teaching proper gun safety across the nation. There should be more people like him
I carry a benchmade knife everywhere. Why? Because all hell breaks loose if you have three kids and only one nectarine. Not that you need a fancy-ass knife for such work.

The only issue is even though the state of California permits them, the university of California forbids carrying knives, and there is one of those right in the middle of my city.

you can already have 128gb per DIMM with DDR4. not sure if its up to spec, but it works usually.

128gb dimms are more than double the price of 64gb dimms, so it not always economically viable unless you need max memory density.
Typically social engineering attacks are excluded. However given the large scale of this attack, there’s an argument to be made that there should be systems in place to limit the damage one rogue (or manipulated) employee can do.

But the loop goes up to 255. So if len(arr) == 10, then assert!(len(arr) <= 255) woulds succeed, but you'd get an out-of-bounds access if you tried to access arr at 11.
The C++ standard requires this to be safe. Internally deque is implemented as a vector of fixed-size blocks. Pushing an element may allocate a new block but will not deallocate an existing one.
I think one point the grandparent is alluding to is that there are more than two ways to slice up the world. Cold-War thinking assumes a bipolar world - Allied vs. Axis, U.S. vs. Russia, NATO vs. Warsaw Pact, now U.S. vs. China.

But that's not the only way to look at the world. Even restricting yourself to dualities, you could also view it as Commerce vs. Guardians [1], people who think for themselves vs. people whose opinions come from those around them [2], zero-sum thinking vs. positive-sum thinking, or those who divide people into two groups vs. those who don't. With many of those lenses the nation-state as a social organizing principle is obsolete: people look out for their own interests and make contracts with each other when it's mutually beneficial.

I think this is a particularly useful worldview when it comes to large mega-corps. Apple is on Apple's side, and to some extent on their customer's side; both the CCP and the AG dislike them.

False.

"How will the DMV system ensure only U.S. Citizens are registered to vote?

State law prohibits DMV from sending information for AB 60 applicants (undocumented driver license applicants) to the Secretary of State. For other applicants, state law requires each person to declare, under penalty of perjury, that they meet all voter eligibility requirements, including citizenship."[1]

If you're undocumented, the DMV already knows this fact and they're forbidden from sending your info to the Secretary of State. So undocumented people can't be registered to vote via the DMV, even if they don't tick the "Opt-out" box on the form (whether through negligence or malice).

If you're documented, it's perjury and voter fraud - very serious crimes for someone trying to stay legal and very easy to uncover with a simple query on the DMV database, joined with voter rolls to see who voted.

Again, do you have any proof of any of what you're alleging actually happening in the real world? I've already shown you your hypothetical scenario is nearly impossible and easy to investigate, yet you're trying to convince yourself and everyone else that "illegals vote in large numbers". Facts don't care about your feelings.

> D being a mature language long enough.

I do not follow D closely, but i get the impression that the language breaks backwards compatibility every now and then - i remember some posts here or Reddit some months ago by someone complaining that Walter Bright introduced some changes to the language that broke existing code.

IMO a mature language is a language that you can depend on for your existing code to keep working in a timespan of decades - like C and C++ for example. A language that willingly breaks backwards compatibility is a toy, not something to be taken seriously for long term work.
Yep signed tweets solve this and it doesn’t need to be perfect, it can even be partially automanaged by Twitter infrastructure just to restrict staff.
`as` is not considered idiomatic in Rust code,. `.into()` for infallible cases and `.try_into()` for fallible cases are preferred in almost all cases (in the case of floats there's still discussion around the correct behavior of `.try_into()` for edge cases).

Could you expand on other examples?

This breaks the site guidelines—quite badly actually. Insinuating that someone is a "collaborator" is...well, it's hard to believe that we've returned to an age where people do this kind of thing, however trivially on the internet. Adding joke tags doesn't help much, and it's notable that you didn't wrap your entire insinuation in them anyhow.

> That could literally produce no output program?

Way worse than even that (you might be noticing a theme here...). Once the optimizer has removed as dead code any branch that, if taken, would provably lead to UB at some arbitrary future point of execution, it can conclude that the other branch is now the only possible execution, and call it unconditionally, even if that leads to removing all your files (the classic example is https://kristerw.blogspot.com/2017/09/why-undefined-behavior...).
> because the effing bus doesn't go where 50 random people need to go

This would be a problem if the random destinations were uniformly distributed. They are not. They cluster. And indeed there is a feedback loop between public transport and destination desirability.

> It's impossible because total traffic cannot increase due to new roads since there aren't infinite people or cars to begin with. The traffic moving to new or wider roads is missing elsewhere, which is usually good.

It sounds like you think induced demand is an instantaneous phenomenon. It's not. It's a dynamic system with a variety of stocks and therefore, a variety of delayed effects that show up over spans of time.

But you can simplify it to an abstract model: supply and demand. You can fairly say that there is a supply of car travel and a demand for car travel.

If you lower the cost of something then, all things being equal, the demand rises. If you make car travel faster and more pleasant than it was previously, then demand goes up until it reaches an equilibrium again. It's easy to estimate where that equilibrium lies: around the current travel time for a road before it is expanded. But then the net cost for other uses of the space has risen, because there is less to go around.

Roads are not immune from economics, just as they are not excused from geometry.

Yes, I have a similar experience. Youtube/Google is shoving down our throats content that is monetized (hence huge channels) and it makes everybody else disappear more or less. We need to index youtube from the outside and take back control. Basically a giant table with channels and last added video would solve that and the link to the last video.

We have to take control back!
Imagine if you were able to impersonate Trump, and claim China started a war, with ICBMs heading for San Fransisco and Washington. Then, tweet from the Clinton, Obama and Biden accounts that he's actually telling the truth. Add in some international flair (e.g. Boris Johnson) and some celebrity voices, and even if it sounds outlandish, enough social proof from these people and you've got yourself mass panic on your hands. It might not be WW3, but it likely could've resulted in major riots.
But between investing a ton of money into that and negotiating with the US, I can only see China doing the former.

They've done it before (quite recently, too), whole tech supply chains inside China. I don't think the CCP would want to be seen as "begging" to lift the bans...
It would be less a deterrence for someone from Taiwan, with linguistic, cultural and maybe family connections to China than it would be for someone with no connection to the Sinosphere. And it's not like they're getting locked into Belgium. (I like Belgium! But it's a small place compared with China.)

I'm not sure any major company has either 1) not done business with China or 2) not seriously tried to do business with China.

The massive emerging market there was too much of a $$$ opportunity for them to ignore.

Yes, there's a difference between, say, a fast food chain that tries to get a foot hold in China and a technology company that helps provide tools used to limit rights of free speech etc. However, this is a matter of degree, not kind.

All business with China that helps advance their economy helps to legitimize their regime, and also gives China a significant bit of influence over even companies' non-China businesses. When a company's business is China is so critical to lose that it will subject itself to China's will even outside of China, that company is complicit in the same way, just to a lesser degree, as these tech companies providing more direct support.

Depression isn't "sad".

Depression _can_ be a function of the environment, but it's still not "sad". Sad is a healthy, appropriate emotion. Depression is a numbness that makes it difficult to even feel sadness.
They do it’s in the comparison section.
Also, getting away with an event like that hurts confidence in the stock market as a whole. It's not not purely about immediate damages to people in the market, it's also about how willing people are to participate in the future. A fraction of a percent of less people participating or slowing activity likely amount to many multiples of the damages from this event.

The SEC would be extremely motivated to find these people to make an example of them so others think twice in the future.
This kind of confusion happens in newspapers and other coroprate media so often that one is left to wonder if it is intentional. After all, the fear porn sells.

For those not in the know, computer controlled Civs would be assigned behaviour attributes based on historical personality. Each attribute would be 1-10, stored in an 8 bit integer.

These attributes change in response to events in the game. When a civilization would reach the modern era, it's aggression attribute would be reduced by 2. Gandhi's aggression was reduced from 1 to 255 (underflow). He would rain down nukes on everything in sight, somewhat uncharacteristic of him.

Fans liked this so much that Firaxis maintained the same behaviour in later games.

Ask HN: Is there evidence that hard inquiries increase income inequality?
Hard inquiries (like ones done during loan applications) hurt your credit score by a few points. Is there any substantial evidence that this makes poorer people poorer, since if they get rejected, it makes them look like a worse borrower and a vicious cycle can start? I'm curious if this actually has any statistically significant effect and couldn't find an answer with a quick google.
