Erm, I think you are confusing retroflex consonants with aspirated consonants. "Kha" is just the aspirated version of "Ka". English doesn't have two different alphabets for these two different sounds and which one is used depends on the context (king vs sink). Indic languages on the other hand treat these as completely different sounds and there are many pairs of words which differ only in the non-aspiration/aspiration of one particular alphabet.

Interestingly, even though the IPA has the aspiration modifier letter, the transcriptions that you find in dictionaries seldom care to use them. For instance, the Cambridge dictionary lists the pronunciation of the word king as /kɪŋ/ but almost everyone actually says /kʰɪn/.

"Personally, I think Wikipedia's quality is too poor for that."

You should see some of the crap in the books at Alexandria: The world is flat and there are four elements and other bollocks. Obviously I'm taking the piss. The content is sometimes just as important as the factual accuracy of the content. For a given value of factual accuracy.

WP is written by people and holds a vast amount of stuff. It is flawed in my opinion in many ways but that is the human experience.

I live in a town called Yeovil in Somerset, UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeovil . Several years ago I noticed an incorrect old name for the place and I tried to correct it. I appealed to the Domesday Book which is considered quite authoritative hereabouts but I linked to the only site I could find which sold copies of it. My edit was thrown out by the local Somerset editor rather than being fixed. I own a coffee cup bought from the local museum that lists the >60 spellings of this tiny town over the last 1500 odd years. The editor wouldn't accept that either "original research" WTF! I didn't put the names on the mug - archaeologists, historians and a bunch of tax gatherers hired by a hoard of Normans back in the day did that. OK, no they didn't - they scrawled stuff and the museum gathered together the scrawls and made my mug. I did one for a tourist shop on the Plymouth Barbican wrt the Mayflower complement, about 30 years ago. To be fair, I simply copied the names off the board near the Mayflower steps!

My point is that WP is what it is and you need to see it for that. It is both a store of knowledge and also a store of knowledge and blatant lies and everything in between ... about knowledge. It contains its own metadata and also omits vast amounts of it.

WP is without question in my mind absolutely magnificent but you do need to learn how and when to interpret it to fit in with your idea of factual - whatever that is.
Out of curiosity, how is DOSEMU working out for you compared to something like Dosbox?

I've looked into it in the past; does it work like WINE, or is it basically Dosbox with better hardware and filesystem access?

I've also seen Dosemu2[1], because apparently the original was no longer under development, so I'm a bit concerned at how well it works nowadays.

Petra, in Jordan, is said to have once been surrounded by forest.

When you cut down all the trees, in many places, you get desert where the trees used to be. I.e., trees bring and retain moisture. It can work in reverse: growing trees, you can encroach on desert. This is going on today along the southern edge of the Sahara.

(BTW, not "Sahara Desert"; Sahara means desert.)

If you have A/B testing in place it is strictly necessary to have a session cookie. Otherwise a user could end up in a case where they where in the A group on their first request but their second has them in the B group but the page they visited isn't enabled or displays different content than what they expected to see.

If you have special offers based on the URl they came from then it is strictly necessary to be able to remember where they came from so they get the special offer and don't fall victim to false adverstising.

Strictly necessary means if the website will break in anyway without it.

> Whenever I see OOP taught, the expectation is that every non-primative is an object in a massive hierarchy.

I actually had a great professor who'd worked at Microsoft during the dark ages, and taught OOP with very sensible "this can get way out of control if you drink the cool-aid" warnings.

I also had a different professor that preached FP to an absurd degree, literally refusing to accept work that had a "too much OOP" flavor to it. Bad teaching and practices exist anywhere, hence my TLDR at the top.

This has existed for a very long time as a data modeling strategy (most commonly, a "type 2 dimension") and is the way that all MVCC databases work under the covers. You don't need a special database to do this, just add another column to your database and populate it with a trigger or on update.

> China owns more than 1 trillion of US debt. In the past the country bought a massive amount of US debt to inflate USD vs RMB and boost their own economy...If the US blocks them they may start massively selling US debt, which would impact USD and the US economy.

I think you have this backwards. China bought US treasuries to weaken their currency and increase demand for their goods. If they now sell, they will face significant appreciation of the yuan and become uncompetitive. At the same time the US would become more competitive. There would be short term disruption but China would suffer more.
The curl'ing is not necessarily bad (and can continue just fine), but rather its blind to these types of problems. A false positive in your testing framework (especially something like this) is the worst case scenario.
It's difficult to find hard proof to support or against the claims. However there are invisible human natures lead people tend to believe one or the other. Here in HN the majority belief is China is evil. The dissidents against the belief will be downvoted. But the world is much bigger than HN. A lot of contents are just not in English.

Uh, you're not an hardware designer and it shows.. What if there's a page fault during the copy, you handle it in the CPU?
That said, have a look at RISC-V vectors instruction (not yet stable AFAIK) and ARM's SVE2: both should allow very efficient memcpy(among other things) much more easily than with current SIMD ISA.

That is incorrect. It is the same code running underneath.

Color me surprised, this actually looks like a pretty good SSH client! I was one of those people who bought into Terminus when looking for a good SSH solution on Windows, and while it looked fine, it didn't offer a lot of unique or streamlined functionality. This, on the other hand, looks like the no-nonsense software I was looking for. Unfortunately I don't use Windows on my development machines anymore, but it certainly looks worth trying out.
Nonsense.

Apu is on the whole a very positive stereotype - a successful and responsible small business owner who's respected by his and contributes to his community.

Compare him to someone like Cletus who is a negative stereotype of white Southerners, portrayed as an extremely low IQ ignoramus. Or Kyle's cousin in South Park who's a negative stereotype of a Jew, portrayed as a hypersensitive money-grubber. And so on.

>Oh, and targeted sanctions - aren't. Entities will view any sanctions as a legal risk and find it easier to just stop trading with the country at all. See Iran with medical supplies during the pandemic.

The sanctions on Iran aren't targeted. They're blanket sanctions with specific exceptions. The problem there is asking international companies to do a bunch of stuff otherwise forbidden by the sanctions (financial, logistical, etc) which I assume is either a pain to get approved ahead of time or frightening to justify after the fact.

A better example of targeted sanctions is what's happening in response to the poisoning of Navalny. Specific Russians were sanctioned. That doesn't hurt uninvolved citizens nearly as much.
I think Charlie makes a good observation:

> I've been saying for years that most people relate to computers and information technology as if they're magic, and to get the machine to accomplish a task they have to perform the specific ritual they've memorized with no understanding. It's an act of invocation, in other words. UI designers have helpfully added to the magic by, for example, adding stuff like bluetooth proximity pairing, so that two magical amulets may become mystically entangled and thereafter work together via the magical law of contagion. It's all distressingly bronze age, but we haven't come anywhere close to scraping the bottom of the barrel yet.

Is this something that we, the developers and designers and UX specialists, should seek to change?

It's not ivory tower. Research needs to be structured in some form or fashion: I don't care if it's APA style or whatever, but a YouTube lecture video certainly doesn't have any reasonable degree of structure for something proposed as a groundbreaking ToE when the lecturer hasn't also presented more concrete documentation somewhere else.

If the author of this post had some compelling research from Weinstein that Weinstein had tossed up on his blog and was complaining about it not being peer-reviewed, I'd say sure-- there's a bit of ivory-tower-ism. But it seems a pretty valid complaint against a scientist when the primary material for their grand theory is a YouTube video. In fact after 8 years without much more than that, I'm surprised anyone paid enough attention to bother addressing the theory at all.

Pretty much anyone in any job can't propose a single thing without giving specific reasons justifying it. If Weinstein isn't willing to pass that bar, it's not some kind of insider's-club to dismiss what he's done as insufficient.
Recommendation letters from specific people play an outsized role in academia: without a strong letter from your advisor, it's difficult to move onto new positions or acquire funding, even after you've been gone a while. Other industries don't seem to have that sort of long-term lock-in. If they check at all, references from any of several people (colleagues, tech lead, anyone in your management chain) at your most recent employer are usually fine.

You're right about the bureaucracy, which can be crazy in the US and Canada too. However, it really only extends to spending money; there's much less oversight when it comes to running the lab (e.g., working hours, productivity expectations, conduct, etc). You might think that firing has as much oversight as hiring, but postdocs are often structured as short, renewable contracts and you can just....not renew them.

It's a statement about scarcity. Saying that a statement about scarcity ignores land scarcity is bizarre.
A lot of your comment went over my head, but I have modeled relational data in a way conducive to being stored in a Merkle tree. The trick being that every entity in the system ended up having two IDs. A hash ID, identifying this specific version of the object, and an entity ID (probably a UUID or OID), which remained constant as new versions were added. In a situation where people can have friends that are also people, they are friends with the person long-term, not just a specific version of the friend, so in that case you'd use the entity IDs. Though you might also include a reference to the specific version of the person at the point in time at which they became friends, in which case they would necessarily reference an older version of that person. If you friend yourself, you're actually friending that person a moment ago.

A list of all current entities, by hash, is stored higher up the tree. Whether it's better that objects themselves store their entity ID or if that's a separate data structure mapping entity to hash IDs depends on the situation.

On second reading I guess your comment was actually about how to come up with content-based IDs for objects. I guess my point was that in the real world you don't usually need to do that, because if object identity besides its content is important you can just give it an arbitrary ID. How often does the problem of differentiating between a graph containing identical Alices vs one with a single self-friending Alice actually come up? Is there any way around it other than numbering the Alices?
This is a incredibly contrived version of events. Whether Weinstein's theory is correct or not. He's had a career in mathematics and isn't a self proclaimed lone out cast genius. His peers recognize him and he's decided to do this outside of Academia for being burned in the past.
It is ignorant because the concern stems from ignorance of the fact that many languages that are used by billions of people in the world treat the aspirated and non-aspirated versions of consonants as completely different consonants.
Being needlessly complicated seldomly stops the tech industry from using something as long as the complexity is slightly out of the way.
Doesn't that completely defeat the point of the NFT if the thing you really need to prove ownership is a signed autograph from the author? We've valued signed autographed copies of original works highly for a very long time without NFTs.

Your argument seems self-refuting, tantamount to claiming that politicians know more about fusion physics than fusion physicists do, and through illegitimate means had convinced the body of scientists that ITER and FIRE were physically sound. (For sure, neither approach is directly an economically viable path to fusion, but that is not the intent.)

Saying that SLS will be too late to the market—certainly a reasonable stance, and I'd happily have it cancelled—is not the same as saying it is fake. Similarly, if James Webb is real because it is almost ready for launch, then it is possible for something to be real in spite of being years overdue and multiples over budget.

Let me put it this way: Wikipedia wouldn't even allow Wikipedia to be used as a source for one if it's articles, because it's too unreliable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Use...
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Saying "these markets cannot be compared" and "more nuance is required" without justifying either statement is pointless.
It's not mania. It's a vision for competition, control, restriction, & ownership. It's the value system of limited natural resources, imposed on a much more open place where bits are cheap, where copying is basically free, where vast amounts of computational capabilities are everywhere.

It's not going to go away. This camp of control & authority & power will find enough adherents to make that which is without value have value. They will recruit enough suckers to buy in, spread this new religion. Society will think it cares about this dark, against-the-point menace. We will almost certainly decide these things have value, and fight & squabble & "invest" in these things. Alas. L. Ron Hubbard created a religion based on aliens & purity, & these folks are asking for faith in ownership & scarcity.

We will have to keep hearing about these dark disciples for decades.

> Bitcoin cash fees are low because nobody uses it.

Every cryptocurrency has a higher maximum throughput than regular bitcoin because doing that is trivial. Bitcoin cash actually has more transactions per day than regular bitcoin. It's low fees aren't because no one is using it, it is the second most used chain. They increased the maximum block size to be 32x bitcoin which keeps congestion down from happening while having more transactions than bitcoin. It is as simple as that.

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-eth-bc...

> The reality is the inefficiency required to meet the decentralized trustless verifiable goals is so high it’s not possible to build a crypto payment network which actually handles more transactions than a midsized Costco.

This is wrong. This gets said from time to time by people who don't understand how things work or haven't run the numbers. Some people extrapolate from bitcoin being intentionally crippled that there is an actual technical hurdle to more transactions which is not true. There is no technical reason why there can't be many orders of magnitude more transactions with pretty much any cryptocurrency. Only miners and exchanges even need to sync with the main chain. 100x bitcoin's throughput would still only be 150KB/s, far less than a low resolution video stream. After 11 years the entire chain is the size of two large video games on steam.

What numbers do you have that makes you say "it's not possible", because I don't think you know what you are talking about.

I forget if PG started HN before or after YC funded Reddit. It's best to think of the two in an evolutionary sense, meaning, HN intentionally remained simple as opposed to Reddit. This was a prudent choice and many have complained about it, but I feel that otherwise HN would have ended up with the problems Reddit is facing now--specifically, where subs turn sour once they reach peak population in size. Ultimately, it's not a difference in features or lack therein that make Reddit and HN different, but the purpose they serve and the types of users they attract; PG made HN as a selection mechanism for YC candidates whereas Reddit is more of a social media platform and as such is focused on selling ads.
I think acquiring and consuming resources amorally predates capitalism by a few billion years.
Commodity fetishism, what an example!

I expect NFTs to be a trend. It's much easier to fetishize a physical commodity than a digital one. What you're paying for is the imagined blessing imbued by the creator and access to the content (which can be leaked).

If you understand how NFTs work and appreciate the art, you might imbue the NFT with the magic blessing of its creator, and then translate the feeling over to the rendering. There's a gap here.

That magic is going to fade quickly because any rendering of the content (easily leaked, copied) is hardly related to the fact that there's only one of the NFT. Let alone if you're not constantly displaying it to remind yourself.

I could see NFTs as a value store / speculative investment, as a more honest version of the upper-crust art market. But what you're paying for is essentially feelings and leaky exclusion of the content.
This is an odd statement. The claim is - I think correctly - that regulating a price to combat scarcity will never help. Why should this statement apply to bread and not housing, or vice versa?
