I think it's totally fine that the US is not number one. In fact, the economist using a slightly different measurement speculates that China has already overtaken the US in GDP[1].

Regardless, my question is about China continuing to force transfer of private company IP, bans apps as it see fit, not respecting copyright, etc. How do you as United States and Europe deal with it?

Sometimes a little bit of inline html within the markdown comments will do for me... otherwise: had been a great experience so far.

AFAIK you can set custom variables in the frontmatter of the markdown files, your layout/template html can use them (or use an IF check, or ...).
Please soapbox on someone else's comment.
Very glad Phil remains in control of AppStore mainly because he has respect for independent software developers. Eddy Cue, Hairforce One and Apple Employee #8 see them like unsigned musicians and should not be involved with developers in anyway.

What's more is that it's clear their new boss (Tim Apple), like millions of others, is only now beginning to realize that the "gangster tactics" (of using math to restrict app functionality) is not totally about about preventing malware, ensuring privacy and protecting the brand reputation with users. He seems almost blind-sided by the world governments moving to act on a level that even Billy and Balmy didn't have to face after many years of actually killing the life's work (and thus the life) of hundreds of earlier software professionals (RIP Jay Miner).
The way I read it, wealth didn't make it worse, while poverty did.

But the issue of being lonely and that causing psychological issues is also affecting the wealthy. In fact, I would guess that many of the villa owners in my area are wealthy.

And surely people wanting to stay in the house that they grew up in is a lifestyle choice. What makes them different from previous generations is that they can afford to make this choice. Their parents probably had to live with family for financial or cultural reasons.

So I stand by my summary: people are making decisions with unexpected side effects.
Same here. Can’t really forget the city once you’ve seen it.
More specifically the culprit is generally unnecessary string parsing. Every CSS selector, such as querySelectors and jQuery operations, requires parsing a string. Doing away with that nonsense and learning the DOM API could make a JavaScript application anywhere from 1200x-10000x faster (not an exaggeration).

Most JavaScript developers will give up a lung before giving up accessing the page via selector strings. Suggestions to the effect are generally taken as personal injuries and immediately met with dire hostility.
Assuming there are repeat visitors. Someone sent you a link to an article. You don't care which website the article is on, you just want to read it and close it without exploring whatever else the website had to offer. So you download a several-megabyte JS bundle to be able to read several kilobytes worth of text. By the time you encounter another link to that particular website, your cache of its assets would be long gone.
Pretty sure you are completely wrong. It's well documented they have done it in the past and publicly made statements about it --but downvote away idiots!
"The intent of deepfake software is clearly either fraud or development of deepfake detection tools. "

I think there are a ton of positive, creative uses of it. For instance de-aging an actor for a flashback sequence, with their permission. Deepfake software can potentially do this way cheaper than the state of the art, such as the young Tony Stark / Peter Quill's dad / Leia. And eventually, it should be able to do it better. When the technology is truly indetectable, it will be used all over the place in filmmaking and even video games.

I actually think you could get some excellent investigative journalism from subject matter experts working part time.

But yes, that is one of the few areas where you still need permanent full-time people.
I think you might have missed a fifth: paid with passion.

Whether it nets as much long-term happiness or food in your mouth is free to debate, but I think a lot of people are just content with the idea of creating something they wanted.

I think you see this a lot in OSS (linux, git, gnu) as well as e.g. the video games industry.

I don't think it's a particularly sustainable way to get paid, but it can exit into the other 4 you mentioned.
I am not sure about this. It looks more intuitive and I kinda agree that it would be more intuitive and easier to grasp.

On the other hand though, wouldn't you lose the generality? Part of my undergraduate geometry and linear algebra course was on fields, groups and rings and that was built in order to show that once you can define a certain set of operations on a mathematical structure you can do "math" on such structures "as if" they were regular numbers (limitations apply).

Think of matrix fields (not sure if it would be the correct translation, in Italian they were called "campi matriciali").

That was kinda mind blowing to me but at the same time it made perfect sense because of the generic definitions underlying.

Not sure how you could go ahead and explain that with regular 3d-world physics.

Agreed, and I want to add one prediction (which is maybe just a hope):

It will have a SIM card slot, and get at least 12 hours of battery life while using LTE.

This would be a truly compelling product, filling a niche Apple has tried to inhabit a couple of times, with the distinct possibility of getting it right this time.

It's annoying that the author takes the original article about paywalls by Nathan Robinson so literally at some points.

For example, the Robinson wrote "Creators must be compensated well. But at the same time we have to try to keep things that are important and profound from getting locked away where few people will see them." To which the commenter replied "None of the above is true." Then explains that only some creators and some works should be compensated well. As if it wasn't clear that the Robinson was referring to creators and works that he felt was of value.

In rebuttal, he only provides his opinion that "I happen to believe that in most areas of creative work, and in most adjacent industries, giving more away for $0 online would improve outcomes for most players, overall." without any evidence that is the case for journalism (or even software for that matter). Not even a weak "logical" argument.

Perhaps he's right, perhaps he's not. I don't know, it it's annoying that this response has somehow hit #2 on HN. It's as weak as this post :-)
2FA with SMS protects against password reuse or leaks. It's my understanding that SMS is weak against attacks targeted at particular people while being sufficiently strong for the majority of cases.
You are massively underestimating the performance of Apple's GPUs. They can beat the 5600M.

- R: the mean function is already created

- C: You will create the mean function

It's the difference between using a calculator and knowing how to multiply two 5 digit numbers with pen and paper.

You might say, "Oh but we can do that in R". Well, if you start doing that one function at a time, very soon you find yourself with R grinding to a halt.

I'm not talking about the exact result, right? Just that someone engaging in research should know what the format of the plot/table/output should look like, how much work is needed to populate that table, and what kind of conclusions will come out of it.

If you (the general "you") are in industry breakthrough territory, you're an advanced student and my advice isn't for you. Otherwise, I think it's a good practice.
I’m not sure I’m understanding you. Are you arguing that more ordinary consumers have and are using XMPP than are using iPhones, or are you arguing that in theory they could and therefore.... something. I’m just wondering what proportion of those people on $10 a day are happy XMPP users.

There’s a serious point here. Highly technical, bare bones infrastructure componentry like this isn’t actually free to use. It requires that the user have an extensive set of incredibly valuable skills that are very expensive to acquire. In fact I’d argue the skills needed to understand and effectively use a solution like this from scratch, including setting up and running a server, cost a heck of a lot more than $600. That’s aside from the opportunity cost of learning all that, and setting up and running a server.
Good guess, but I can't find any footnote named "2" on the page.
Maybe the proof is wrong, but it looks quite likely to this will constitute an advance in our MCMC toolkit. In particular, I'd be curious if we can use his new MCMC method to create a probabilistical version of Schor's factorization algorithm. If NP=RP, this should be an easy consequence, but even if NP!=RP, it's possible (and some say even likely) that a classical version of Schor's algorithm exists.
You're not the only one who thinks this way:

I believe that many people making such a decision don't know or do not consider the effects that isolation will have on their brain. That's why I believe there should be more discussion about the side effects of such a decision.

But if people knowingly accept that, I see nothing wrong with it. My grandma also was the same. But she kind of compensated for the loneliness at home by being super active in an outdoor hiking club.
THAT... IS... AWESOME....

dude you really out did yourself. usually i criticize people because their product homepage doesn't tell nor show anything about their product so i'm confused about what it does and how to use it.

YOU... DID.. IT... PERFECTLY

your homepage not only tells me exactly what this does, but shows me to the point where i'm excited to use it. good on you. others should learn from you.

my one thing that i noticed (and this could be a revenue generator for you) is the lack of templates currently. the more templates you have for us noob video editors, the better. not only that, but allowing the community to contribute and/or sell their template would be a HUGE win for you.

The only similarity between that and my argument is that both involve a measure decreasing. Are you saying that one fallacious argument involving a decreasing measure invalidates all arguments ever that involve (completely unrelated) decreasing measures?

As is so often the case in academia, the basic idea is hidden by all the academic jargon. The basic idea is quite simple. Suppose you roll up your sleeves, get to work, and announce to the world: "Turing machine #57835 is an AGI with truthful knowledge". Then, without even needing to run Turing machine #57835 (which might be prohibitively expensive), just as a purely logical consequence of your announcement, you can conclude that the following ordinal number A is a computable ordinal: "The supremum of all ordinals B such that B has some code k such that Turing machine #57835 knows that k is a code of a computable ordinal". By construction, this ordinal A, for which you concretely know a code, is larger than any ordinal for which Turing machine #57835 knows a code. So in at least one extremely specific technical sense (the sense of knowing codes for large ordinals), you are more intelligent than Turing machine #57835.

Which part of this argument is unclear?
Ah i forgot to finish the thought here: I meant to say that since Julia avoids the two language problem, for which there are many incompatible solutions in Python, it should be possible to pull ahead in building out the ecosystem even with a smaller community.

When last I built a PC a few years ago, I found that the best place for motherboard specs was their user manual, certainly not any "product" webpage nor even their "specs" subsection, which is overloaded with marketing BS.

The user manuals had accurate information on the number of ports, their capabilities, number of sockets, max RAM, etc...

I'm glad to see that MotherboardDB has direct links to the User Manual PDFs, and distills that information down.

He probably sees it as a form of "sticking it to the man". He probably did it as a joke initially and is now digging in his heels. He remembers the 80s when hacker culture abounded and software could have lots of inside jokes and lawyers were nowhere to be found.

Now that software has gone "mainstream" and copyright and patents and lawyers and courts and legal red tape has been rolled out everywhere he is refusing to conform and is instead sticking to his guns.
Yes bundled content is a big pain point of mine. My biggest pain points with After Effects.

1. When I want to create a creative video I typically look on Envato for inspiration. Then I pay $30 to Envato on top of the $270 a year for After Effects. Then I have to learn how to install the template or asset. I wanted a marketplace and library integrated with the tool.

2. I also want the After Effects experience to be like Figma , Canva, or Sketch for making videos quickly. I don't want to fiddle with too many knobs and counter intuitive tools. While they are powerful and After Effects will always be GOAT. Its too much sometimes, especially in a world of speed and iteration.
pull your head out and stop spouting off your (totally inaccurate) opinion as authoritative.

> all C++ parsing is done on it.

Unless somebody needs to change how the C++ sources are processed, doesn't its mere presence allow the extension to function? I.e. if you modify the source of the extension, wouldn't that modified extension still function with the unchanged binary?

I fail to see, from the perspective of some user of VS Code: what are the issues of not having the sources for the binary that does C++ parsing?

It seems to me comparable to not having a source of Google, but being able to make as many queries as you want (Google wouldn't even allow you that, by default).
The worst case of this for me was a completely static site which, sans images) loaded in under 100ms on my local machine. I inlined styles, all images with width and height so there is no reflow when the image arrives, no chaining of css resources, deferred execution of a single javascript bundle, gzip, caching, the works. Admittedly it was a simple page, but hey, if I can't do it right there, where then?

Anyway, it all went to st as soon as another guy was tasked with adding share buttons (which I have never once in my life used and am not sure anybody else has ever used).

I won't optimize any pages over which I don't have complete control. Maybe if a project has a CI/CD setup that will catch any performance regressions, but other than that, too much effort, thankless anyway, and on any project with multiple fronted devs, the code is a commons and the typical tragedy is only a matter of time.

It's a virtuous cycle. They ship very few products because each product is very successful. Each product is very successful because it's good and the awareness and consumer desire is high. And the small number of products both helps in manufacturing quality and in profit margins.

I have no idea what George Dyson means when he says Turing had a 1D memory and Von Neumann changed it to a 2D memory. I consider both to be equally 1D with Turing having sequential access and Von Neumann random access. What I call 2D memory is a segmented addressing scheme.

The implementation in the form of Williams Tubes (used in Von Neumann's Princeton machine) is indeed 2D, as is a modern DRAM or SRAM. But it is wrapped up in a 1D interface to the rest of the computer (a little less obviously so with RAS and CAS in DRAMs).

Part of the problem is that modern JS frameworks make it incredibly easy to mess up performance. I have seen mediocre devs (not bad, but not great) make a mess of what should be simple sites. Not blaming the frameworks, but it is still a problem to be addressed.

> Finland <snip> the public education system is superb

This has been looked at extensively. At the most basic level it boils down to the structure of government/politics, culture and unions.

Taken in reverse order, unions in the US had plenty of justification to exist decades ago. From my perspective, except of for a limited set of domains, they have been doing more harm than good for a very long time. Education is one such domain. If one were to dig down through problem areas in the US educational system one would find the dirty, ugly, stinky intersection of teacher unions and politics.

Culture is another factor. The US is very different culturally from lots of countries. I mean, not to go too far, look at the ridiculous rejection of masks in the middle of a pandemic. Anyone who doesn't understand just how different the US is from a place like Finland need not go much farther than the cultural differences as they apply to this pandemic.

Finally, government. Unlike Finland (and lots of other countries) there is no unified US-wide educational system. The federal government does not run the show. What we have is fifty mini countries, each with their own idea of reality. Even worse, we have thousands of teacher unions, each, in turn, with their own ideas of reality. This all leads to a f-ing mess where some schools want to teach such nonsense as intelligent design while others focus on science.

No, we can't compare the US to Finland (or anyone else) other than to say that we definitely need to sort this out. How? Isn't that the question.
Whoa, very cool!
