Amen. It's very frustrating when you're skeptical of a news item and it's essentially impossible to find the original source as it is not linked and apparently impossible to find with the information given. It doesn't stop the item from trending on social media if it sounds good though.

I'm sure it's not a coincidence that one of the biggest western social media apps - Instagram - launched a direct clone of tiktok. So far IG reels are dead but if TikTok gets banned there's an undeniable benefit for IG, right?

solar/wind + batteries is now cheaper than coal and nuclear. And it can be brought online faster with virtually no safety issues.

Nuclear had it's day and it's over. At this point subsidizing it is just creating a mess so that we can give money to GE et al for providing something that--thanks to technology--has no value. If you really want to, just give GE the money directly so that we won't have to bother decommissioning some disaster decades from now.
Precisely. There is no legal remedy in China for cases such as Apple's, a situation that the Hacker News et al. communities blandly accept in silence while valorizing attempts by ByteDance and WeChat to game the US system for profitable access.

Why the Western world accepts as legitimate the products of a closed society that relies on ubiquitous censorship and withholds free access to the outside world through a national firewall is hard for me to fathom. I have lived in China, South Korea, and Taiwan off and on for decades and believe the people of PRC deserve better.

Yes.

> In 2003, Deutsche Bank helped Mr. Trump’s casino company sell hundreds of millions of dollars in bonds.

> Mr. Trump’s company defaulted in 2004, leaving Deutsche Bank’s clients with deep losses. The bank’s investment division that sold the bonds vowed to not do business again with Mr. Trump

> A year later, though, Mr. Trump approached another part of the investment division for a $640 million loan to build a skyscraper in Chicago. It made the loan — and in 2008, Mr. Trump defaulted and sued Deutsche Bank. That prompted the whole investment division to sever ties with Mr. Trump.

> And then, three years after his previous default, Deutsche Bank started lending to him again, this time through the private-banking division that catered to the superrich. In fact, it lent Mr. Trump money that he used to repay what he still owed Deutsche Bank’s investment division for the Chicago loan.

> In 2016, the board of directors commissioned a report into how the bank had become so enmeshed with Mr. Trump

> The report, prepared by the board’s integrity committee, concluded that Deutsche’s private-banking division, which catered to very rich individuals, was so determined to win business from big-name clients that its executives had looked past Mr. Trump’s history of stiffing his lenders

So, try this: default on your ~200k mortgage. take out another, larger mortgage with the same bank. default on that one too, and then sue the bank for damages. then get a loan from the same bank to pay back your remaining debt from the second mortgage.

I'm skeptical that you could pull this off, and yet Donald Trump somehow managed to get comparable loans from Deutsche Bank.

TypeScript, Rust, and working on a huge projects impacted me the same way.

Rather than "using types so that things run", I have been encouraging people to ”describe business entities/constraints with types” in some languages. That's a way to get compilers to check half of your business constraints. But, I agree that some types are not worth it, particularly those not separating nullish from its non-nullish counterpart.

Generally in the U.S. and Canada, freshwater is abundant in the Great Lakes regions, so much so that this area is considered a strategic location in a climate crisis.

The cost of residential municipal water in Chicago is US$1.08/m3 [1]. In Toronto, another Great Lakes City, it's US$3.04/m3, ratcheting down to US$2.13/m3 after 5000 m3 [2].

Water in Berlin costs US$1.98/m3 [4] (€1.7/m3).

In comparison, Danish water cost US$6.70/m3 in 2016 [3].

Some lovely writing. I really like this observation about urban living:

> When we lose the ability to live among the bodies of strangers, we don’t just lose the tribal solace of company, but the relief from solipsism — the elbow brush of other lives unfurling just beside our own, the reminder of other people’s daily survival, the reminder that there are literally seven billion other ways to be alive besides the particular way I am alive; that there are countless other ways to be lonely besides the particular ways I am lonely; other ways to hope, other ways to seek joy.
I love this line of reasoning. Next step is labor camp for non-Uighur Chinese, I guess; on American soil, no less, and inmates will be working for Apple and Nike
C++ has most of its complexity in the standard library, and that is easy enough to look up if you don't understand something. It's relatively barebones as far as the syntax goes. Swift, on the other hand, has way too many features a.k.a. syntactic sugar in the language itself.

I think the usefulness of type annotations is directly related to whether you are using classes.

In JavaScript or PHP, it’s usually easy to figure out if something is meant to be an int, string, array or object (yes we’ve probably all done “1”+1=>”11” before, but it’s very rare).

But if you are using classes, it’s very useful to distinguish at coding time which exact class an object is. Often you’ll end up with multiple classes with similar sets of properties, and it’s imperative to know which one is being used so you call the right methods.

Just looked up some numbers from Wikipedia:

"Japan had 282 GW of total installed electricity generating capacity in 2010"

"A 2010 study by the Japanese government (pre-Fukushima disaster), called the Energy White Paper,[citation needed] concluded the cost for kilowatt hour was ¥49 for solar, ¥10 to ¥14 for wind, and ¥5 or ¥6 for nuclear power.

Masayoshi Son, an advocate for renewable energy, however, has pointed out that the government estimates for nuclear power did not include the costs for reprocessing the fuel or disaster insurance liability. Son estimated that if these costs were included, the cost of nuclear power was about the same as wind power.[49][50][51]

More recently, the cost of solar in Japan has decreased to between ¥13.1/kWh to ¥21.3/kWh (on average, ¥15.3/kWh, or $0.142/kWh).[52] "

And:

"Photovoltaic prices have fallen from $76.67 per watt in 1977 to nearly $0.102 per watt in October 2019, for multi crystalline silicon solar cells and module price to $0.21 per watt."

so ~10W/$ for photovoltaic gives 1TW for $100 billion, about four times larger than the 2010 installed energy generation capacity.

realistically there will be more costs than just the panels.
I agree with the activist spirit! But you have to realize that the incentives of legislators are to first create a strong economy and to maintain the dominance of the US tech sector. If you come to them with a plan that will seriously harm their operations then you won’t even get a meeting.
So what would happen is that businesses fight for lower tariffs, and are the check on incremental government growth.

Instead with the IRS, the taxes keep on going up and up and the little guy can't do anything meaningful to fight the trend.

my grossly over-simplified understanding of Linux (for the average end-user) if I had to "teach it" to somebody really quickly

---

processor + RAM in motherboard with hard disk and some kind of integrated graphics solution/external graphic card for video output, plus keyboard + mouse for input (hardware)

hit the power button, motherboard inits procoess and runs BIOS which jumps to hard disk MBR (typically, ignores CD/USB/net boot)

MBR jumps into bootloader on first sector on hard drive (GRUB or syslinux/extlinux) (this is my pre-EFI understanding)

bootloader loads kernel (with optional initrd) from hard disk into memory

kernel performs its own init, mounts root device (hard drive formatted in Linux-friendly file system like ext4 usually), sets up all hardware given bundled drivers/modules, calls /sbin/init or comparable

/sbin/init spawns TTYs, does network configuration, then starts X server + a display manager (typically gdm if i remember correctly for GNOME?)

X has input drivers for keyboard + mouse, output driver to get graphics onto monitor(s) (not sure if Wayland finally killed X yet, gonna guess no)

from there, you can load /usr/local/bin/Chromium while will create a window on DISPLAY=:0 and go on Hacker News (granted you have it installed with all of its wonderful dependencies. probably 300mb+ of executables and resources and dynamic libraries)

the fact that there's 20 different ways to do a lot of the steps I just described is... interesting. the magic (to me at least) happens after /sbin/init. What all gets started? Why? I feel the latest Ubuntu probably spawns... 40-60 processes? systemd and this/that/the other.

He wasn't charged with it and the indictment was dismissed with prejudice after the failed Supreme Court appeal. He was however sentenced as if he was convicted of that, the judge explicitly stated as much during the sentencing, and the prosecutors also used that to sway the jury even though they wouldn't charge him with it.

Part of the reason why is because those charges most likely would not have actually resulted in conviction because it was blatantly entrapment on the face and the veracity of those claims is dubious given that all of that evidence is coming from Carl Mark Force IV, the same agent who is now convicted himself for his corruption in that investigation and stealing a fortune from the Silk Road and just pocketing it.

I realize it may seem like an entrapment defence wouldn't apply here but keep in mind, even for the government's alleged chain of events, the government absolutely induced the crime, they stole the money, they came along with the "solution", etc. Then there's the matter of if DPR was predisposed to commit the crime. He certainly had a predisposition to commit crime, but definitely not murder-for-hire in particular. Even in the conversation with Carl Mark Force IV, he did not want to kill him and explicitly stated so, the special agent convinced him that killing him was his only option, the guy knew names and had sensitive information, etc. Even after he got caught and the government seized his laptop with his encrypted drive mounted and got the keys to the kingdom they didn't find any other instance of anything like the alleged murder-for-hire plot. The government inducing the crime and the defendants lack of a predisposition for that specific crime are the two elements to an entrapment defense in federal court.

Because he wasn't actually charged with the crime he didn't get to mount any kind of defense against those allegations and the prosecutors just hid all of the corrupt B.S. involving Carl Mark Force IV and Shaun Bridges. I think Ross is guilty as sin of running the Silk Road but that trial was a huge miscarriage of justice and in an ideal world, a bunch of those prosecutors and law enforcement agents would be sitting in prison right beside him. Alas, only two of them are. I really feel like the Supreme Court should have overturned his sentence based off of not receiving due process for the murder-for-hire allegations yet being sentenced substantially worse based off of it.

Are you uncomfortable adopting that belief with literally no concrete evidence that anything of the sort is actually occurring?

I don't know how you reconcile rule of law with such drastic interventions in the rights of companies without evidence of wrongdoing.

Could you edit your original statement with this clarification? It's not at all obvious or clear, and I think it says quite the opposite - you are emphatically stating it's ok for that legacy / non-legacy gap because legacies have way higher test scores, which seems a very dubious claim given how unbelievable the score gap would have to be to account for a 30% difference.
Sorry but let's maybe agree to disagree? You seem to be pointing to Swift features that are very different from ObjC (as you said yourself), but are very close to other similar multi-paradigm languages. You asked "Why would you even add optionals to a new language if not for the necessity of Cocoa/ObjC compatibility" and I'm answering that other languages have it. It's not that Swift turned ObjC conventions into requirements: it's that in ObjC they were mere conventions, in almost every other new language similar to Swift they are already requirements.

Sure, Swift has ObjC baggage, but those two specific features would be present in any multiparadigm language launched in the same period. Check out Scala, Kotlin and even C#, for example, and you'll see lots of similarities. Swift is going exacly where other languages are converging to.

In fact, the inspiration for the ad-hoc initializer pattern in ObjC you're mentioning probably came from other contemporary languages... maybe C++ or Smalltalk. Optionals in Swift have nothing to do with ObjC: in Swift they come from functional programming tradition, nullability in ObjC is a virtue of being a superset of C. The fact they work together is a virtue of compatibility, but those two Swift features were not specifically designed to serve ObjC.
I’ve just been building an app using react native (for web). We built the web app first and had it responsive and designed to match mobile interactions from the start (a stack view that keeps state) and it’s been quite nice. The other day went to get it running on native and was pleasantly surprised - was able to get all the main screens working smoothly and well in a matter of days.

Compared to SwiftUI it was far easier and even faster. Granted, I’ve worked with React a lot. But it’s really quite nice, I’m impressed with the whole ecosystem and how it’s grown.

It’s useful in some situations, but they often tend to be the situations where it’s least needed. There’s plenty of languages that MT is very bad at translating (to the point of being counterproductive), and a lot of those languages are natively spoken by people who don’t also speak English. MT is quite bad at translating Hindi, but that’s not so bad because English is (relatively) quite common in India. MT is absolutely terrible at translating Indonesian, which isn’t great for Indonesian trade, because English is rather uncommon in Indonesia.
by that I mean like extensions or things that require editing of config files.
