Books work exactly the way the way they’re intended to work; he’s trying to solve a different problem. The problem of conveying information about a topic is solved by books. The problem he has been unable to solve is conveying all that information in a highly compressed way with no loss of information. Not possible.

The answer to “what was that book about” can be a sentence. The answer to “teach me the concepts in that book” can also be one sentence, but it’s the same sentence for every book: “go read the book.”
Yep but you'll need a time machine as you will need to contact BT for the new phone line 5 years before you know you are going to start building the house to be on the safe side. I know of plenty of people who tried to organise their phone line before they started their build and have moved in and are still waiting for a phone line 6 months later. It's the same with all utilities in the UK; totally chaotic constantly changing bureaucracy. You have to know the secret telephone number to call to get someone who is not working in a general call centre. Even then it's surprising how often they don't seem to know the procedure for getting a new house connected.
The USA and Vietnam have almost the same life-expectancy stats. I don't think one can say the difference in health is "an order of magnitude".

There is truth to the fact that I can't stay everywhere and experience everything, but I have a deeper understanding of the different ways the people live and the different things that communities value than I could ever have dreamed before I left.

It's also true that I can't have the depth of experience that comes with living in a place for years (or your whole life).

I wasn't exactly sheltered before becoming a nomad, but there is a difference in the experience. You do come to understand in at least a small part the differences between even countries/cities that are a few hundred kilometers apart.

The article you posted says "It means someone who suffered a heart attack, or even died in a road traffic accident, may have been included in the figures if they had also tested positive for coronavirus at some point, or if doctors believed the virus may have exacerbated their condition."

But, the CDC link in the parent post has the detailed breakdown and it has a category for "Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events" and that amounts to 5,930 off the total 179,927.

Though there is also a sizable chunk in another category "All other conditions and causes (residual)" which has 88,801 off the total 179,927 (mostly 65+ year olds)

Because socialists failed to stop the senseless massacre that was WWI. I don't know if "willing" is the right word, but nationalist propaganda certainly triumphed over international solidarity among the working class, sadly.

The rise of the Nazi party in Weimar Germany was a direct consequence of the punitive nature of the Treaty of Versailles.

Agree. What really frustrated me about Persona, was that the way they portrayed the project was that it was not yet ready for production adoption[1]. And then they cancel it because people weren't using it.

I know I played around with a proof of concept implementation internally, but never deployed it publicly, which was a decision based primarily on their own messaging.

[1] EG the JS implementation and the dependency on persona.org were both temporary stop-gaps to enable fast-prototyping and use in other browsers, but would be replaced with a "real" implementation in the browser that supported multiple providers before broad roll-out.

Maybe I'm privileged? I don't want to sound tone deaf if I am, but hotels have always been fine for my family on short trips. Kids and all. It's not that long, for me a max of a few days. Typically, even for other families max would be maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Normally much shorter than that. I don't think having to use hotels for short term stays is all that inconvenient.

I confess to using apartments for long term rentals. The last time we were in Paris, I took an apartment for the 3 months of the summer through a service that's something like airbnb. That was better for the kids. But that's also longer term stuff.

Hotels are honestly not all that terrible for short term family stays. If you have to go somewhere in France long term, airbnb would likely still be available to you.

My wife's phone fell into water around four times. Only first time it was with original parts. Other times was after my somewhat sloppy screen replacements. Once after being underwater for half an hour I had to replace battery and eventually screen, because sometimes touch input did not work. Now the phone seem to be at the end of its life, but will probably work for another year or two.

If they could just commit to maintaining Hangouts, they would go a long way to rebuilding trust. I know many school aged kids who joined Hangouts (though Google classroom IIRC) as a painless way to collaborate with classmates and friends.

I'm not necessarily anti coding interviews, but somehow convincing yourself there is any degree of innate talent is a myth. There is a linear relationship between practice and performance.

Why is unemployment rate the definition of "success"? The US expanded unemployment insurance payment significantly. So if the gov't is giving businesses money to keep workers "employed" or just pay them through unemployment insurance, why is one better? It's still a gov't transfer to workers at risk.

And again, I wouldn't call out a "winner" just yet. Those decisions will likely have vastly different impacts post-epidemic.

Between Dunkirk and Barbarossa Britain stood alone against Germany. Churchill’s “Blood, sweat, toil and tears” speech is a speech from a guy who is losing badly and has no illusions about it. The smart money on both sides of the Atlantic said it was hopeless and only an idiot wouldn’t sue for peace. Despite his many shortcomings, Churchill’s leadership was astonishing.

The Amiga was much more closely tied to the hardware than the ST, by dint of it's bus system sharing between the blitter and CPU for chip RAM.

Additionally, having the copper, sprites, scrolling, HAM and planar graphics modes meant that backwards compatibility is harder - just look at the difficulty of emulation for both of them.

The Amiga graphics layout is also (slightly) more difficult to work with, there's a trick for the ST to do quick chunky-to-planar (C2P) conversion, check out the texture mapping in Thunderdome demo (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=64503)

All said, yes the Amiga had more expansion cards for it, but the central bus system was a bottleneck as for the majority of Amigas, you had to use the built-in graphics, if you look at the a1200, the AGA chipset was a poor upgrade over the original chipset, hampered by backwards compatibility and the expense to needing to add a separate (fastram) bank to bypass the system bus for speed.

As far as retargetable graphics goes (ie. VGA-style cards), the ST was ahead as GEM allowed this from the start. That combined with the much simpler design allows a newer machine to be much more powerful as it has to worry about backwards compatibility less.

The Atari Falcon bears this out, a stock Falcon can manage to run Quake2 at 10FPS odd, a stock a1200 even with fastram can't get close. The Falcon was actually developed using an ST with a processor socket, bearing out the simpler architecture could be abused more :)

TBH the Falcon could have been much more, but Atari were broke and cheaped out on the 16bit bus, could've had 24bit VIDEL at 800x600 and run Quake2 at 15-20FPS for £500 in 1992. Add a cdrom with multiTos (effectively unix with a GEM frontend) and you'd have a competitive machine even against the PC of the time.
We have to go deeper.

ExGAN looks cool! My initial thinking was incorporating it into texture synthesis. Most neural based image generators can't sample intelligently beyond the input example. But the "extremeness measure" appears to be much more robust. And can be used in simulating any world model beyond historic regimes ;)
I have just become a first-time cord cutter, if you can even call it that, with YouTube TV's recent opt-in inclusion of the RedZone channel. I still got way more (admittedly obscure) sports with my cable package, but this finally reached enough parity to move on.

The real reason that sports fans should remain with their traditional bundle is the UX. With cable, if I want to flip between a dozen college football games, no prob. The lack of a traditional remote and the channel-changing latency is a big problem with these new services. Also, they don't make it easy to record past the end just to be sure the game doesn't go long (granted they try to "catch up" by later learning it went long, but I hear it's often later and not when you want).

There is one feature I do appreciate, time-synced stats. You don't get spoilers on recorded games you're watching with their stat info in the app, it remains in sync w/ the progress. Granted, I don't see in-game stats as a killer feature anyways.
I do participate in shareholder votes and typically just perform a quick online search for each board member candidate. I concede that it is insufficient to really get to know them.

EDIT: (since you updated your comment, some of my original reply no longer applies)

Part of the elegance of JSX is that it maps conceptually to the 3 dimensions of it's intended output structure (usually HTML) rather than being restricted by direct mappings to the 2 dimensions represented in JS objects.

--- original below ---

Both transforms work "like javascript"; I'm not sure how the new one is any different in that regard.

While I do think it's a little nicer to not have to import React, they could've done that without changing the factory signature.

Furthermore, I think the value of not needing to import React is slightly overstated. If you're using React & JSX, you'll be importing React in your application at some point regardless (so importing in the JSX component file shouldn't add weight). If you're using JSX without React, you don't currently need to import react anyway (as transpilers provide configuration options for factory methods: e.g. via Babel's react-jsx plugin's `pragma` config key)
My favorite pdf fact is that the security flags for things like copy protection and passwords are on the viewer to implement so you can just turn them off and all the security is gone
Hold up lemme look for a wikipedia article, I can cite that right?
From the post, it appeared to me as if this change was made, specifically, to remove the dependency on (importing) React. Are you sure that this results in making JSX dependant on React, instead?

> All anyone has to do is screw up wiring an appliance with exposed metal parts, and the whole thing can be live at potentially lethal mains voltage

Or for extra fun, the wiring in the house. Lots of people think things like changing a plug are "easy" (they are), but they're also really easy to screw up.

Now you don't need some DIY'd appliance. Your Ikea stuff is now potentially deadly.

The number of DIY jobs I've run across where the hot/neutral are reversed on the plugs... It's insidious because for all intents and purposes it will _work_. Nothing you plug in will have any issues.

But that nice shiny metal lamp you've got? It's got the neutral bonded to the body so that if the hot were to come loose and contact the body it has a path to ground. What happens when the neutral and hot are reversed? The body of your lamp is now live, and when it's off it has no path to ground. Wear rubber shoes when you're turning your lamp on and off.

Your toaster? It only switches the hot. So when your toast is done and you stick your metal knife all up in there to try and dig your toast out, it's all still live with no path to ground. Whoops.

A lot of assumptions that are essential to things being safe all fall apart as soon as someone puts those black wires under the silver screws.
I worked at a Google spinoff a few years ago. It took a lot of work to move everything from internal Google infrastructure to external (Google Cloud) and it probably took a full year after the official date of us leaving Google to have everything fully migrated - there were lots of small things like seldom used config files or occasional scripts that still relied on Google’s internal stuff.
Very cool! Can it use multiple processors under Linux or is it limited to 1 CPU because of some tricks for the DOS compatibility?

Part of what you need is a plain English, low jargon, directory that briefly explains each piece of technology, and which problem that piece solves. It would need to be opinionated on when to use and when not to use different pieces of technology.

I don't think any directory like that currently exists. If someone built it, I would go to it a lot, and endure lots of ads in order to learn about pieces I don't use yet. If only someone would build this.

I guess every application will be different, so maybe, but this comes along with a large push to improve the performance of React's factory functions so it would be difficult to measure objectively.
But why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor?

Because of the American oil embargo against them (Started on August 1st, 1941. 80% of Japan's oil was imported from the US, and as of December 1941, they had three months worth of supplies left.)

Why was there an oil embargo?

Because FDR wanted them to stop their war in China. (Which started in 1931, by the way.)

Pearl Harbor did not just magically appear out of the blue, with no prior context. In both the precipitating event (Peace talks over aggression in China), and the triggering event (Surprise attack on Pearl Harbour) Japan grossly misjudged FDR's willingness to employ the nuclear option. (Pun intended. And yes, I know that it was Truman who ordered the bomb to be dropped.)
WWI is truly the most depressing war. International solidarity among the working classes folded like paper in the face of imperial force, leading to some of the most brutal and pointless combat in human history.

As a family of two adults and 3 children we've very much appreciated being able to stay in places where we can cook for ourselves, be able to do laundry, and have space to spread out a bit.

In the US, there are chains like Embassy Suites that work well for families because they have two bedrooms separated by a living/cooking area. The fact that they're typically far outside downtown matters a lot less because we've rented a car.

In Europe, we usually didn't want to rent a car. Having 5 people was a problem with hotels because their typical limit was 4 people to a room. So being able to rent an apartment or house near downtown was wonderful.

If you don't have kids, there's nothing quite like watching your 3 kids refuse to eat the $15/each meal that you ordered. Repeatedly. And have to resort to crackers or chips from a convenience store.

It's going to be interesting to see what the outcome of the pandemic will be. We stayed on a house on a canal in Amsterdam and it was amazing. But you can see why the locals would want that house available to themselves.
> There's no good reason for the USA to have had a higher per capita death count than South Korea

There are some reasons which probably explain part of the gap:

* South Korea and Germany are both smaller and more homogeneous, making them easier to govern

* South Korea has a lot of recent experience responding to respiratory epidemics

Moreover, while I would like to see the US at the bottom of a chart of deaths per capita, the US is in the same cohort as many western European countries including Sweden, the UK, Spain, and Italy.

There's still plenty to criticize, but the media are pretty deliberately choosing metrics that are designed to exaggerate the US's handling of the crisis, specifically by ignoring per-capita death rates. I'm sure they're just doing this to get Trump out of office at all costs (ends justify the means), but they risk playing right into Trump's hand (and in any case, they certainly contribute to a broader atmosphere of fake news and partisanship).
