Besides al the tricks and books that others recommended, I love to: 1. Enumerate the limitations of my product with brutal honesty, that is obviously against my interest as seller. 2. Put clearly my interest as seller to make a sell so I tell to my customers that my opinions and advices are deeply flawed. So this way clearly I can lose a customer but almost always a I win a friend, and I always end with more info from my customers that my competitors and I close more difficult sales.

> 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.

I agree, people of many countries deserve much better. However restricting trade, sanctions, undermining diplomatic relationships etc rarely do anything other than harm the citizens of the country. It's difficult but not impossible to tell someone off while doing the same thing yourself.

As far as national security goes, the US has a checkered history of interfering with other countries.

As far as the rights of citizens within a country again a checkered modern history.

As far as political manipulation .... etc etc, I think you get the picture.

I am not saying the US is as bad as China, but some of their actions would surely deserve reprimand as well. But I doubt the US is sitting there and doing this for the "concerns" of the residents of these countries.

Now in the case of TikTok, I think this is a great case for protection of data in ALL countries. GDPR is a good example of this.
Back in the days before I'd ever heard of multicast DNS or zeroconf networking, I had a local dns server set up with all our subdomain.ourdomain.com duplicated as subdomain.ourdomain.local and pointing to our local dev/staging versions of our websites. It worked wonderfully, until I think MacOS 10.2 arrived (so, like 20 years ago almost) which had mDNS support for the first time and "broke" it all on me...

I switched to using subdomain.ourdomain.staging instead and got on with life. I wonder if anyone's gonna have to deal with the fallout of that decision when someone oneway pays ICANN enough money to own the .staging TLD?

(I wonder how much "interesting" stuff would land in your mail/web/ssh/whatever log files, if you registered .staging and .dev and just logged everything that came past (or intentionally/actively honey potted everything there?)

> ”At any time in 2020, did you even crypto?”

See, this is why you HODL:

Hodl (/ˈhɒdəl/ HOD-əl; often written HODL) is slang in the cryptocurrency community for holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. A person who does this is known as a Hodler. It originated in a December 2013 post on the Bitcoin Forum message board by an apparently inebriated user who posted with a typo in the subject, "I AM HODLING."

In 2017, Quartz listed it as one of the essential slang terms in Bitcoin culture, and described it as a stance, "to stay invested in bitcoin and not to capitulate in the face of plunging prices." TheStreet.com referred to it as the "favorite mantra" of Bitcoin holders. Though originally used in relation to holding Bitcoin, it is now also used to describe holding other cryptocurrencies and tokens.

I'm really interested in understanding how to differentiate between these two things.

It seems like Google does permit internal debate, and fires people when their views are too damaging for the culture. I really, really doubt a lot of people had strong opinions about going into China, and lost to other opinions. That seems really healthy at least.

Coinbase seems like it is saying: no internal debate permitted on political things, just purely discussed on whether it makes financial sense.

To me, Coinbase seems really lazy.
There is plenty of land. The notion that land constraints seriously limit solar is an oft-repeated canard. You can see this by either comparing the land needed to the land available, or by comparing the cost of land to the cost of the equipment that is put on the land.

Nuclear's land use typically ignores the land used by the distribution network for its power. If you add that in, the land ratio of solar vs. nuclear is much smaller.
The actual dividing line in terms of wealth and avoiding fines is more like people who are broke but sensible, versus people who have an income.

I agree with you but I feel like that isn't specific to Linux as an OS. Windows and Mac both have a kernel responsible for keeping processes ticking in an infinite loop (scheduling executing across threads) as well.

I think the original comment I was responding to was about the complications of Linux. To me... the complications of Linux aren't really in the 20+ years of "tech debt" that is "just make it boot and work for x86_64 like it used to work for i386", but moreso the 20-30 different configuration files and formats that happen after boot.

> where once again we went to the Middle East based on "terrorism"

A little more complicated than that: invasion of Kuwait, 1st Gulf War, chemical weapons, WMD confusion, violation of UN sanctions, post 9/11 fears/unknowns, concern about impact to global energy economy, etc.

One of the benefits of the US energy leverage created by fracking is that the energy market considerations that were part of our Middle East policy aren't as important any longer, we have many more degrees of freedom in this regard. I believe there are other benefits that come from less money available for state-sponsored terrorism/extreme groups due to lower oil prices.
? Education and Healthcare are just 'a few things' not the most essential things.

Europeans still need money.

Also, remember, that taxes pay for that, so with less incentive to work, there's equally less incentive for taxes to pay for all of that stuff.

The degree to which it is an incentive is really complicated, but it is real to some extent.
> Well we can’t do anything about employers

You can, indeed, mandate equal practices by employers and enforce that requirement.
Quotes are a non-issue. The classic problem is that we can't tell apart newlines that are part of filenames, and newlines that separate filenames; however, recent coreutils ls provides an alternate format where this is not an issue.

It's not pretty, and it shouldn't be done but it's doable (in many shells, but none of this is specified in POSIX):

ls --quoting-style=shell-escape-always | while read -r escaped; do
eval "filename=$escaped"
echo "'$filename'"
done

Yes, definitely.

Customer supplied some code that I had to incorporate into a new JEE app (actually J2EE back then).

I liked that code because it was just way cleverer than anything I ever expected to find in an enterprise Java app. It implemented a trie to return a list of partial recordings to make a full sentence (which was the input).

It was space and time efficient, but also extremely clear, logical, and easy to incorporate into our code base.

And best of all I was able to use those ideas to solve a similar problem in the next project.

Indeed it's probably broad enough that you could likely find an ambulance chaser who'd go after people who _send_ you those emails "in excess of their authorized access" to your mail server.

> Spain found that parental leave resulted in fewer children.

That's long been known to be true of social support and safety nets generally, so it's not a surprise that it would be true of parental leave, which is a subset of that.
Honestly, it's an O(1) solution depending on choice of data structure, possibly constant-factor more efficient through your program depending on language, and if you're programming on a whiteboard it might also arguably be the idiomatic way to do it in that context.

Limited in that you can only have one tree per whiteboard, though.

There is a small write amplification due to pg page size being 8KB and ZFS recordsize being 128KB, but considering the Bulk write nature there is not much impact. Also max IO size of EBS is 256KB which helps us to optimally utilise available IOPS even if there is write amplification. Reducing the ZFS recordsize significantly reduces compression ratio so we kept as it is. If it's an OLTP application, reducing the recordsize will improve latency but for these bulk operations, it's the most suitable.

I haven't used Azure, but based on my raw benchmark and real time usage, I would say type of FileSystem doesn't affect performance of EBS Volumes. Our peak IO usage is 1200 IOPS and 20 MB/s. I would say similar RDS configuration would have x4 - x10 write amplification due to data being not compressed.

You probably don't know how CCP branches work. All government branches, state owned companies, and major internet companies in China have CCP branches. Especially in the government and state own companies, the head of the CCP branch is actually the real person in charge.
He never “got slapped” with attempted murder. The prosecution floated rumors and allegations in the media about some kind of far fetched hit man situation in a (successful) attempt to influence the jury to make the other charges stick.

Exactly. And furthermore, execs got to where they are because they enjoy having power and control over others. It's easy for the introverts to forget that power feels absolutely amazing. Managing invisible agents filing Jira tickets will never be as satisfying as commanding a large open office of people you can watch grind away. Power and status is an enormous motivator and I have recognized it in nearly every single person in a position of power I have ever met or worked with. Some hide it, others flaunt it. Offices are going nowhere.
The rise of non-state actors has definitely complicated public policy regarding the use of force. IANAL, but it seems like much of the legal frameworks around use of force, just war, etc. is predicated on Westphalian sovereignty, which doesn't really have a place for groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, etc.
I read a bit about that. The claim that Google was blocked due to unwillingness to follow Chinese laws isn't true.

Be noted that China is not a country under rule of law.

When Google was blocked, there was no primary legislation stipulating that online content shall be censored in whatsoever way. There were vague administrative rules (secondary legislation) with questionable applicability. Today, there is only one piece of primary legislation with a section on online censorship in China, but this section targets ISPs only, not content providers.

There's no way to tell that that's one file rather than two. Seriously, parsing ls output reliably isn't possible. I've seen exactly one example of a legitimate ls in a script (just this week, for the first time in many years using Bash), and all that did was to check something like whether a directory was empty.

One issue with Japanese specifically is that the subject is often omitted from the sentence and inferred from context. It's less common to see the equivalent pronouns of "I" or "they" in Japanese, but it's required a lot more in English. A machine translation would have to determine what pronoun to use when there isn't one in the original sentence to go off of, which is hard.

Then there are other things besides pronouns that require inference. For example, adding な to the end of a sentence could mean either a modifier expressing admiration or confirmation, or it could be indicate a demand or order not to do something. In machine translation it almost always seems to be translated to "don't" no matter the context. That only makes the translation less accurate.
I have seen car batteries explode, always due to bad charging rather than shorting though. (Over charging generates hydrogen and oxygen inside the battery in precisely the correct stoichiometric ratio to go "BOOM!")

It'd be better if Chinese companies could freely operate in the American market and American companies could freely operate in the Chinese market.

But China blocks American companies from their market, or extracts unfair concessions from them. So the US should do the same until they change their practices.

It's similar to how countries that want peace still need militaries -- that isn't a contradiction because militaries can help achieve peace. Similarly here, if you want free and open markets, you need to punish bad actors, like China, through things like sanctions.

Any language that supports type inference will also support annotations if your taste/linter/boss demands it. That's fine. But hobbling the compiler by not including type inference at all, because you think it causes bugs, is quite definitely stupid. I literally don't understand how anyone could dispute this except by inexperience with type inference.

Based on the sentence with the tangent about "optional or gradual" etc, I suspect you are conflating two debates. Of course there is debate on to what degree static type systems are helpful. That is quite separate from the debating whether to include the very convenient and theoretically rock-solid feature of type inference. I have hardly heard anyone discuss this, much less attempt to gather empirical data.

Returning to the original point, there is no conflict between static typing and concision, except in C++/Java style type systems. I especially don't understand how a "static type checker enthusiast" would think there is, but if you meet one tell them Someone On The Internet told them to learn OCaml already.

I have been disappointed in FOSS design decisions before, but I've also been on the other side of such decisions as a maintainer -- and it's often the case that users aren't aware of all of the trade-offs that go into making "obvious" decisions. I try to be more understanding these days as a result -- yes, sometimes maintainers are wrong but all things being equal they probably know better than you or I what the right decision is.

For instance, one could argue that hiding the behaviour behind a flag makes the feature effectively useless (users that would benefit most from it would never know about the flag, and users who know enough to find the flag probably know about `find -print0` too). Punting the problem to distributions just means that everyone who is against the feature on general principle will now hound distributions for making the change (probably making arguments like "why are you making yourself incompatible with Debian X or Ubuntu Y.Z?") -- and will also result in the feature being unused and thus useless.

Now, is that enough of a reason to make a change to the default behaviour? I don't know, but to me it doesn't seem as though the right decision was "obvious". And again, the behaviour is only different when the output is displayed on an interactive terminal -- so the only breakage is the interface between the screen and your eyes.
