When I read the constitution of Hong Kong (Basic Law) and the supporting laws in mainland China, I come to the same conclusion as you.

To me, this obviously overrides the text or "spirit" of any handover treaty, specifically the Sino-British Joint Declaration, as the Basic Law is a constitution.

Leaning on that treaty as a Hong Kong citizen or non-British outside observer requires either complete ignorance, or complete desperation to ever reference it. Which I understand for the people of Hong Kong who have no options and don't want the change of life, but it doesn't embolden me to see it as exceptional as it follows their form of due process, by the book.

So, I agree with you. Disagreeing with you requires me to have a completely separate higher standard than how governments we actually respect operate and what they would tolerate.

I'm not comfortable with any of the procedures, but I really do see how we get a very distorted view of what China is, its goals, and how it operates. And there is a level of constitutional consistency towards territorial unity, which is very predictable. If you are willing to accept that (and how almost every action can be construed to undermine territorial unity) then China is very easy to operate and live in comfortably. Not so dissimilar to an institution or amusement park where you never look behind the scenes and just do the PG-rated activities made available to you, and if you stick with that you're fine. Obviously not what we are used to and strive for in "the west", but not really the nightmare its portrayed as either. Its sad to me that even trying to explain things to you all in a pragmatic way could get me detained in China (because its not completely exalting the territorial unity of China and raises questions about it), but I really think its useful to understand and that its impossible to explain another way.
The IANA standard for TSV files [1] bans tab characters inside of fields. It's a convenient assumption, so if I'm writing a quick way to sync some data to disk, I choose TSV because the functions can be simpler.

Humm, I built a similar but more powerful tool:

https://github.com/samuelcolvin/python-devtools

(install with `pip install devtools`)

It has similar functionality for debugging but has prettier formatting and code highlighting using pygments.
But none of this already fills the capacity. Websites are served on slow as hell aws virtual web servers, delivering their content byte by byte or so it seems. Content is already not filling the capacity 99% of the time apparently : 4K video is 16Mbps, which is less than 2% of a 1Gbps fiber connection capacity. How often does one watch 50 4K videos simulateneously ?

When you do the maths, nothing is getting that big in fact, and when it does, either it's served by slow (both in bandwidth and latency) servers anyway, either it's time insensitive in the sense of "it will run over night". I never could for the life of me convince steam/epic/whatever to give me more than roughly 50MBps. I wish I could, but I suppose it's too expensive for them ? (or they don't have correct CDNs in Europe ? I don't know). Seriously, the only sites saturating my connections are... bandwidth checkers. Everything else seems to be happy with 1 to 10% of that.

So I'm very not convinced that we'll ever commonly fill 1Gb connection. Also our brains, the ultimate piece in the information transmission chain, can't really make sense of 1Gb of (correctly compressed and packed) information per second anyway. And this hardware part won't get upgraded soon.

AT&T has been knocking on my door for 10 years trying to sell me "fiber", but when I ask them if the fiber will come to my house, they say no (sometimes they even lie about that). The fiber only goes to a main neighborhood box.
Whenever you advise a ruler in the way of Tao,
Counsel him not to use force to conquer the universe.
For this would only cause resistance.
Thorn bushes spring up wherever the army has passed.
Lean years follow in the wake of a great war.
Just do what needs to be done.
Never take advantage of power.

Achieve results,
Because this is the natural way.
Achieve results,
But not through violence.

Force is followed by loss of strength.
This is not the way of Tao.
That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end.

For Python: ipdb. In your code, you can just drop in "import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()" and the execution will stop there with an interactive prompt. Alternatively start the script through (i)pdb and set breakpoints.

You can also use plain pdb ("import pdb; pdb.set_trace()"), which has the advantage that it comes with the Python stdlib, but the interactive prompt is less fancy (no history, no autocompletion, etc).
Oh that's cool.

You can change the precision in the setting and when you do currency conversions like 1€ to ETH, it can get to wei-precision (18 decimals).

> It's quick way to narrow down the "area of search" before bringing in the big guns.

What are the big guns? with a debugger, I can stick a breakpoint and look at the entire state of everything. Given we're talking about Python, in pycharm [0] you can even execute your print statements in the debugger if you so wish. If you get the location wrong, or want to see what's going on elsewhere you can just continue execution and use another breakpoint.

This is even more important if you have a long compile/deploy cycle (I work in games, and rebuilding and deploying to a console can be a >10 minute iteration time)

Besides inconsistencies, that a non defined quoting and escaping mechanism is already quite painful. Let's look at following single column single line csv:

'\0'

Depending on the source this might be:

- quote back-slash zero quote

- zero

- back-slash zero

- a byte with the numeric value of 0

- quote zero quote

- quote back-slash zero quote

- quote byte-with-value-0 quote

- malformed and should be ignored

Worse the same application might mix different of this quoting mechanisms for different columns or even in the same column. Normally it shouldn't but it's defintely a thing you can find in programs which don't use a proper marschalling library/code, and you know. CSV is easy so you surly don't need to add a library dependency just to use it. (sorry sarcasm).

Or with other words "because CSV is easy" it's somteimes not properly specified and sometimes no "proper" marschalling/serialization library/module is used resulting in ad-hoc fixes for quoting where needed which potentially don't follow any specification either.
One of the most useful trick I found was installing the tool via sitecustomize.py so you don't need the import:

# add devtools debug to builtins
try:
from devtools import debug
except ImportError:
pass
else:
__builtins__['debug'] = debug

(see https://github.com/samuelcolvin/python-devtools#usage-withou...)

This would work with icecream too.

The second advantage of not needing the import is that CI fails if you forget to remove all debug() commands.
That fear is overblown due to media focus. Attacks against Asians happen, but not in numbers that should make anyone hesitant to live here. If the media publicized every vending machine that crushed someone people would be scared of them, but the reality is different
The shareholder-maximalism can be traced to Dodge vs Ford, (1919), after this article was written: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

That's the case that people (rightly or wrongly) are referring to when they say that companies have an "obligation to maximise profits".
We had lots of issues with USB3 cameras interfering with (RTK-) GPS receivers for a drone project [0]. When mounted on the drone, the receiver would just not get a fix, even in seemingly perfect conditions, i.e. unobstructed view of the sky, far away from buildings, no clouds, etc. One day, I randomly unplugged the cameras and suddenly the receiver started working. I repeatedly plugged and unplugged the USB3 hub just to make sure I'm not crazy. The GPS receiver would go from no fix at all to centimeter-level accuracy every time I unplugged.

We then used a spectrum analyzer to better understand the extent of the interference, tried shielding as described in the whitepaper, as well as separating the components physically as much as 30cm -- all without success. The only solution that worked was to replace the USB3 cables with USB2 cables and acquiring images at a lower frame rate.

I don't even want to know how many people have been affected by these issues over the years. USB3 devices should come with a warning sticker on the box.

You can run Python with

PYTHONBREAKPOINT=print python

and all your breakpoint() calls will be prints.

Which is not super useful, however you can use

PYTHONBREAKPOINT=icecream.ic

and now you get the advantages of TFA without having to import anything anywhere.

The only annoyance is that the default hook takes no arguments, so you can't trivially switch between the default and custom implementations, you may need to modify the source depending on the breakpoint hook you're using.
> What if the Chinese government kept telling the USA that california should hold an independence referendum?

If there was good reason to think Californians wanted this, I'd be all for it. Also, there most pressing issue is American investment in California, which isn't so much of an issue in HK.

> What if China told the USA to end the trade blockade on Cuba

Not sure what this has to do with HK, where trade and international relations are generally better than the mainland..

> we don't know how many HK residents want to be independent

and we never will because PRC don't want to know, don't want anyone to know, and make it clear that it will punish democratic support, let alone independence.

> You could make the same argument to the UK about Wales and Scotland, or Spain with Catalunia and the Basque Country

And indeed, I would. But the Spanish government isn't ripping up agreements like PRC, plus its a willing member of the EU.

A 4K video is 16Mbps, it seems reasonable that a household would want to have 3 of that running, or at least will want that in the near future. With the common background traffic already present on connections, it doesn't seem quite enough. It's not "super not enough", it just seems to me plausible that common households will want more.

>If a US born american like his country, it's patriotism.

I'm familiar with lots of narratives that say an American who loves America has been brainwashed by the system. Or is in a position of privilege and is thus not familiar with the problems inherent in the system.
Taiwanese are not Chinese though, so my point responding to OP wasn't about them. I mean people who are born & raised Chinese - they usually do want to be Chinese, even if its just in the cultural sense and not the CCP (but even then, most don't seem very vehemently opposed).

Taiwans different as they've had to largely reframe the Taiwanese identity to be more about the island and its history and people who came (including indigenous peoples), rather than just centric to the Han immigration history which was framing the Taiwanese identity more Chinese-centric. I don't expect them to identify as Chinese citizens, even if they share Chinese culture. But again, not my point.
The genetic code itself is reasonably comparable to ASCII in complexity - every 6 bits is the code for one amino acid in a string, which will fold itself into the required protein.
That number (79.6 MLOC) is gained by adding together all the projects that participates in this release, which is far more than just the Java IDE. For example the Eclipse Platform which all the Eclipse IDE's builds on top of. Now if you look at just one of the five git repositories that is part of the Java tools, eclipse.jdt.core, you will get 1,597,008 lines of code.
All these seem nice but I never seem to find one that will interface with rootless nodes, amd link back to wherever my laptop is. There's always a requirement for a kernel module or mounting a new interface. For now I use chisel, but it's a hack and I need to manage addresses and ports manually.
That was my jam, yeah! Posh especially. I'd hang out down at their little shop on Blågårds Plads and just listen to whatever records they had on rotation. Actually, that's how I was introduced to Radigue! They had a vinyl release that was just brought in and I was hooked.

Some of the Posh crowd is still making good stuff: Loke under his own name and as Croatian Amour.

I think most of that scene transformed into what's the Danish techno scene now. I've really fallen for the sweet candy bops of Kasper Marott. At 4:28 Courtesy comes in with one of his new tracks [1]. It's all very playful, something in short supply these days.

> China by all rights has a claim to the land

Huh?

The people of Hong Kong have a claim to the land of Hong Kong. The people of I don't know, Shanghai have a claim to the land of Shanghai. The People's Republic of China doesn't even "by all rights" have a claim to the mainland. They do have de facto control. They have de jure control in the broad international view. The don't "by all rights" have control over anything, not over Taiwan, not over Hong Kong, not over Shanghai or Beijing. What does "by all rights" even mean?

That said, the US doesn't have "by all rights" have control over its entire territory either (native Americans, Hawaii, etc., etc.), but Hong Kong is meant to be in a special situation until at least 2047 by international treaty and beyond that by the people who reside there having a claim to the land they reside on and have since well before the founding of the PRC.

How often does your cloud storage provider allows you to send 1Gbps to them ? For the ones I use (dropbox, mega, google drive), the answer is never where I live. At best, it will be 10% of that, and usually less.
I'm not aware of a maintainer friendly CoC, I agree it would be needed.

CoCs currently all follow the same pattern: A group composed of a mix of corporate and entryist developers want more power and write a pamphlet that promises the respective project to the masses.

It encourages rudeness and demands to the core developers who actually do the work. The worker developers are expected to remain silent, smile and burn themselves out for the collective.

The winners are new "contributors", the nomenklatura and their corporations.
> Who cares about History? What matters is now

History does matter. You cannot just invade a country, steal territory and then later say "it doesn't matter if this was once your territory, what matter is NOW and now I own it so get off my lawn".

That's just not how it works. In terms of history Hong Kong belongs to China and only in super recent history it was "taken" by the British always with the arrangement that it still belongs to China and would get handed back to China. So now that China does what is rightfully their right people act surprised, because the West hoped that if a little bit of time passes that China will stop caring but they were wrong. China took care of what was rightfully theirs and kept a tight grip over it because it saw what the West wanted to do and honestly fair play to them.

So your claim is that if a human child was given a subset of the text GPT-3 was fed — with no audio, video, or reinforcement feedback from its environment — the child could learn English?

The important point to observe here is that what a kid does is fundamentally different than what GPT-3 does:

- GPT-3 learns the word that minimizes perplexity given some context

- A kid learns the word that helps them accomplish some task in some environment.

In the learning process, children get feedback from their environment - including the responses of other agents in the environment (eg Mom, Dad, friends, etc). This is going to be far more memory-intensive than some text files. Also important to observe is that the child's experience can't be reduced to the audio, video and haptic streams they get, because the audio and video stream depend on their own actions. So you need the conditional statements that were embedded in the environment the kid was learning in. All of which is to say this is a little heavier than ascii.

Edit: From your other comments, it seems we agree that bigger neural networks with more training data are not going to yield some quantum leap where GPT-3 starts talking. I'm not at all suggesting that throwing more data at the existing architectures is a fruitful direction for understanding cognition. (In general I think NLP is utterly pointless as regards understanding cognition, and if that's your goal you should focus on vision and reinforcement learning.) But my point is that we can't expect that a smarter architecture on a smaller corpus will get us anywhere. If we ever develop machines that are intelligent in some robust sense of the word, their "training data" will most likely be a physical environment with other agents in it.
Imagine being an internet company which spends half its time blasting all citizens with ads about how you have the "fastest nationwide network" and the other half lobbying elected lawmakers to say that nobody really needs fast internet.

Imagine being that utterly useless and greedy. Telecom companies really are a special breed.
Instead of introducing a new library, why not just instruct your editor to do the heavy lifting for you? For instance, I've written a small Emacs function that asks for the argument to print in the Minibuffer and then inserts it once quoted, once unquoted.

It's quite nice to have such a function for any programming language you use and bind it to the same keyboard short-cut.
They pretty much did it with all of the utilities they produced... and I'm glad they did. I don't think it was nefarious, they just thought their extensions made sense at the time and/or filled gaping holes. Even in the early 90's it was painful to go from a machine with GNU stuff installed on it back to a vanilla System V system... they just felt so limited.
Based on one of your previous comments looks like you are from France and living in China

Keep in mind that regardless of who was in power, style of government, and everything else, Japan and China have antagonized each other for about 800 years. Japan is a net importer of food and raw materials. Taiwan sits in the middle of important shipping routes. Letting China take Taiwan would be national suicide for Japan.
You can also make it a bit prettier by adding spaces:

>>> print(f"{d['key'][1] = }")
d['key'][1] = 'one'

It works with any expression you like, not just variables:

np.sin(np.pi/4.) = 0.7071067811865475

If china can get away with it, just like if Burma/Myanmar army can get away with its ...

Anyway it has been so for several thousands years of totalitarian rules. There is no way out of that horrible culture. Hong Kong showed them a more liberal way of life. Taiwan showed them the more Democratic way of life. Instead they choose to use power and a system with no succession rule. It is karma of that culture. An ever looping of bad luck, prosperity then chaos.

I've managed ~400Mbps with Backblaze. OneDrive peaks at 150Mbps (probably more but was limited by my laptop's Wi-Fi). I bet Amazon S3 would also be very fast.

Raising upload speeds would also give an incentive to cloud storage providers to take advantage of them and improve their ingestion speeds.
My personal highlights from using it:

- you can control your whole machine with it, so I don't have to use mouse anymore for - sleep/shut down/volume/

- extra indexing for folders/documents/images

- web search in different sites (gmail/wiki/amazon,....)

- clipboard history

- snippets (ascii art for luls ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but most importantly I use this for script snippets I need to use in some UIs/ when I'm remote in some vim session in some server

- workflow - MS ToDo implementation, quick little things like switch off wifi, set dns to 1.1.1.1/unset, ...

- least but not last, never had a problem with db update beeing stuck on indexing and taking 150% CPU like with spotlight

No doubt. I've personally never had too much difficulty with D3's API, but a lot of people have, and I don't know why either are the case. I'd add though that jQuery was an incredibly well-written library with a great API, designed to be more intuitive than basic DOM programming. D3, afaik, is just a lot of capability but not as much attention to API user experience.
