The tap-problem depends on how the input integration is done, I've been running into similar problems in Dear ImGui (and Nuklear too). You need to implement your own little input event queue which tracks button up- and down-events and still creates a "click" even if both happen in the same frame. TBF, it's a common oversight when creating an input polling layer over event-based input, and usually it only shows up with touchpads, because physical buttons are usually too slow to trigger up and down in the same frame.

Check the sokol-headers integration example here, this should properly detect short touchpad taps:

It's ultimiately a matter of dependency i.e. econmically well-off Chinese people who have dependencies with CCP (e.g. official party member (6.6% of the population), or owning a family business that interfaces with CCP, even if unofficially, etc), V.S. well-off Chinese with little or no dependencies.

To be where they are now (outside of China receiving education, etc), the former group (or their parents/relatives) fought hard to get benefits from their relationship with CCP, while the later group (or their parents/relatives) fought hard to find a path out of this CCP madness.

And thus the contrast.

My grandfather was a minister and a proud CCP member. But he was the type who believes in doing the moral things and never took bribe. He worked crazy hours and get paid penauts. Most of my relatives saw him as foolish because he basically didn't fight to "get benefits from his relationship with CCP" and stayed poor for all his life. And most of his colleagues and superordinates don't like him because you can't help one another to climb the rank (or generate wealth) like this.
That would only feed the western media what they want, so no, I don't expect more details from the government. It's almost the de-facto solution that China use to address foreign publicity -- no comment.

But that doesn't mean they will ignore the problem, but on the contrary, they always take care the situation swiftly and always show off their results one way or the other. If you know China enough you should be familiar with how they operate.

What matters is they are giving all the resources to the people in the camp, and implementing strict regulation and accountability for all the activities in the camp, to make sure everything is running humanely and lawfully.

While I agree in principle, I prefer to act cautiously.

This caution goes both ways, so I will treat an uploaded mind as having Ξ from the point of view of human rights and animal rights (i.e. don’t do things to it which cause suffering), and yet also treat uploaded minds as not possessing Ξ for purposes of “would that make me immortal if it happened to me?” even though a perfect sim would necessarily achieve that (no sim is perfect, what is the difference between the actual sim and a sufficient sim?)

I do not believe current AI is anywhere near Ξ, so this is a question for the future rather than today; but the future has a way of arriving sooner than people expect and I do think we should do what we can to answer this now rather than waiting for it to become urgent.

If an AI is supposed to have Ξ and does, or if it is supposed to not have Ξ and indeed does not, this is fine.

If an AI is supposed to not have Ξ but it does, it’s enslaved.

If an uploaded mind is supposed to have Ξ but doesn’t, the person it was based on died and nobody noticed.

I'm not sure how to word this... I'm confused that we are still calling people "black" and "white", when their actual color is nowhere near those two. It's no longer cool to call people "yellow" or "redskin", so why are those still accepted?

People I know actually use "dark-brown", "light-brown", and "light-skinned" and other such more accurately descriptive terms when actually describing someone's appearance, and I like that much better.

> Meh, a plane can fly with one engine

Yes. But then it's used up its safety margin. So your logic works for why you shouldn't worry when the plane is in perfectly good working order and has two working engines. Your logic is completely idiotic for when one engine has failed.

> , and glide with none

Not very far, it can't! About 150 km from cruising altitude. This plane was still climbing out of its departure airport. Do you remember just how far US Airways 1549 got to comfortably glide after losing power during its ascent? Give me a break.

The Boeing 777 can be ETOPS-330! 330 minutes at one-engine speed from a diversion airport. That's pretty far! Sure, on one engine they'd be fine, but you're a moron for ridiculing them for having shaved away their safety margin.

"It's true"? "It" is a bunch of lazy opinionated crap that's meant to ridicule someone for being worried when a very safe mode of transportation just shaved away a gigantic part of its safety margin.

Think of it as if 2 bucks buys you 1 loaf of bread in Chicago, but take those two dollars to Beijing, turn it into yuan at the prevailing exchange rate, and that buys you 2 loaves of bread in Beijing, then very roughly speaking China can take 50 million dollars worth of yuan, and buy two jet fighters for the price USA pays for one.

It varies of course, when you look at shipbuilding capacity, in that China probably has a huge cost advantage in that they, you know, build ships a lot. Vice versa Jet fighters.

As ever it depends greatly on the basket of goods - which is naturally bent towards consumer and FMCG.

Some questions about the FAQ's "What is vaporization memory management?" section:

> All functions params are passed by value via a copy-on-write reference.

What's a "copy-on-write reference"? Does this mean that if write a function that takes a million-element list, and inside the function I mutate the last element, the entire list will be copied (inside the function, but invisibly to the outside)? If yes, can I write a function that mutates a list in place so that the caller can see the effect? Can I even mutate lists or anything else? I don't see any clear information about whether Passerine has mutable data at all.

> A form of SSA is performed, where the last usage of any value is not a copy of that value.

Does this mean that any non-last usage is a copy? Or is it "only" a copy-on-write? Can you always tell statically where a usage is a last usage?

> All closure references are immutable copies of a value. These copies may be reference-counted in an acyclical manner.

Again, are these eager copies or lazy copy-on-writes? How are non-closure references garbage collected?

I would be interested in a much more detailed write-up of this memory management technique.
He made a lot of good decisions. It was unlikely that an outsider would become the world's largest retailer, because others were there with existing infrastructure and knowledge, especially mail order retailers like Sears in the US or Otto in Germany. But they missed the boat. All they had to do was to transfer their catalogue to the internet and expand. But somehow they failed and a nerd with an online bookstore grew bigger and bigger because he understood the internet much better. Oh, and the mail order businesses were no angels, either. Otto has been running its own logistics company since the seventies and they are not particularly famous for high salaries.

Of course, there are lots of people at Amazon who work hard and/or smart, but without the guy at the top making the right decisions, it does not work.

> Also, sometimes engines fail silently and passengers don’t even realize it since air keeps blowing through it to keep it spinning. You likely have been on a plane with a downed engine and didn’t even realize it if you fly regularly. You were fine.

The FAA estimates that jet engines fail once per 375,000 flight hours. So no, you're not "likely" to have been on a plane with a downed engine.

If you wanna act so damn tough criticizing what may well be partially an emotional reaction of the part of these passengers, you should at least get your facts right.

Dude, going to war does not mean watching happily at assets' prices dropping. Going to war means actual people dying. And if you'd happily "go to war" with China, I hope it means you're happy to become (and make your family become) among the first people to die at this war - before politicians sign a treaty and revert back to status quo.

> PostgreSQL does not yet support reusing compiled plans at all

Well, that explains why I couldn't make it work :)

> PostgreSQL already has a threshold based on query complexity.

PostgreSQL has settings that threshold based on a query cost - jit_above_cost, jit_inline_above_cost, jit_optimize_above_cost.

For example, imagine we query a table with millions of rows, extract some columns, do some transforms. Will the cost be quite big? It will. Will it run for a long time? It will, let's say 2 second. JIT compilation will take, for example, 0.2 seconds and the query itself now will run in 1.4 seconds, so 0.4 second total win.

Imagine we have other query that joins seven tables, access many indexes, etc, returns a modest amount of rows and results in the same cost as the first query. Often it could finish even faster, like in 0.5 seconds or something, but let's say it's the same 2 seconds. However, as there are much more code to compile, JIT compilation now takes 10 seconds, and speeds the query up to the same 1.4 seconds.

So I want a setting for JIT compilation that will capture a query complexity.
Funny Jokes on Webpage Development
I'm trying to wrap my head around what the implication of stackless coroutines is.

Can I use them like `yield` in Python+Twisted, i.e. to implement single-threaded, cooperative parallelism? It would not expect to be able to plainly call a function with a regular call, and have that function `yield` for me - but can I await a function, which awaits another, and so on?

As far as I understand, C++20 coroutines are just a basis and you can build a library on top of it. It is possible to build single-threaded async code (python or JS style) as well as multi-threaded async code (C# style where a coroutine can end up on a different context), right?

Is there anything like an event loop / Twisted's `reactor` already available yet?

I'm really looking forward to rewrite some Qt callback hell code into async...

yeah we've been over this before, when a client outside the US wants to pay find me another way to convert an international wire transfer (high degree of delay including increased scrutiny) to a domestic wire transfer (low degree of delay, no scrutiny) that doesn't use a cryptocurrency network.

the transaction fees alone of that one use case makes the native cryptocurrency scarce, even if that native cryptocurrency is not what was used to settle the transaction.

and I've done inter-Europe transfers too, the SEPA system is not what its cracked up to be. It is even more fragmented, transactions between some combination of SEPA nations can take 2-5 business days just like the US ACH system.

from what I know about this discussion is that each use case is its own conversation, so I randomly chose this one out of a hat.
