There are people in the world who interpret words literally. They are wrong. Words are part of language and does not have absolute interpretations, but rather is about communication of concepts and ideas between humans that is derived through context and common culture and religious beliefs.

What should we do about those people? To have their views questioned, challenged, and criticized can be used to flag to the rest of society that percived social norms has been violated, and it might inform the party at fault that their literally interpretation is wrong. However some people either has personality trait or disorders that commonly get stuck on interpreting words literally, and strangely they seem to be more common in academic and religious environments.

It is incredible what you've accomplished already with such a small team! A very interesting problem area too. I've been a little involved with maritime from the perspective of digital security, which is an area that needs more attention, and wonder if/how you can improve that side of things with a modern solution. If you need to get in touch with folks who work on maritime cyber security by all means pop me an email.

It was done the moment the 99 year lease ran out and the UK handed it back , the Chinese would not tolerate a visible relic of the Opium wars being dictated to by foreigners i.e 2047 Basic Law guarantee.

They tore up the agreement when it became expedient (they declared "historical document of no significance") to do so.
> Hong Kong has historically always been a part of "China", you could say it was "invaded" by the British and then the Japanese during WW2.

Who cares about History? What matters is now and what people want now. If not, you could use that excuse "but X was always part of Y" to justify just about everything.

Not necessarily. I know very well how to use a debugger, but nowadays I just prefer to use prints: it forces to you actually think about what's happening instead of just looking at it. It's also more useful in situations where putting a debugger actually changes behavior (high performance systems, parallel programs).

That will be shortest war ever. If China does an embargo on Taiwan and encircles it, there's nothing that Taiwan could do in the long run. They will be forced to negotiate. And you can bet the US has no intention to intervene.
Margin Call Tsunami
"So, the current bull market will end sooner or later.

The prior two bull market tops occurred in the years 2007 and 2000. One of the characteristics of each of those tops was investors’ ramped up use of margin. In other words, market participants were borrowing heavily to buy stocks.

This can work out well until stock prices tumble. Then come the “margin calls” or demands from their brokerage firms to increase the amount of equity in their accounts. Investors who lack sufficient cash to deposit into their accounts are often forced to liquidate securities quickly, which can result in big losses."
> it definitely has not been as straightforward as the pull-request workflow.

I agree - there's a bit of a setup phase, stemming a from email having degraded into "that thing you see on gmail.com". https://git-send-email.io/ is nice for validating the setup when in doubt.

However, once the flow runs, I think it's more straight forward than a pull-request workflow.

> I do also like being able to update an existing PR as I'm making rapid changes though

Rapid changes to a PR is bad etiquette. Submit a PR for review, await comments, when received, prepare fixes and submit a new iteration.

Submitting changes after opening a PR that isn't to just to fix CI results is just noise, and suggests that you erroneously opened a PR for review before you were ready for review. Submitting changes little by little likewise suggests that you're still working on an open PR, making noise and and making it hard to see when I should resume my review.

Don't push anything to a PR you don't want me to review and merge. Hold off until then.

> Uh, you press a button.

Yeah, it's easy, but that button has lead to so many bad git habits. Including, say, not caring about their git history and expecting the reviewer to squash everything into ugly commits.
Yes, NFTs relying on (centralized) URL is obviously bad and doesn't fit well with cryptocurrencies in the first place, as the entire point is to build a decentralized financial system.

NFTs relying on content-addressing are all fine though (like IPFS) and most of the NFTs I've seen are using IPFS, although some of them screw up the linking and add a link to a IPFS gateway instead of just the hash.

> Off the top of my head, you need to specify text encoding, line endings, a quoting mechanism in case a field contains the separator, and an escaping mechanism in case a field contains multiple lines or the quote character.

You also need to specify the separator itself, which despite the name isn't always a comma, but can also be a semicolon or (less commonly) a tab.
Well, that was probably what China was saying when they ditched the agreement they had with Britain.

China has grown large and powerful. If history matters, Hong Kong is probably part of China. If history doesn't matter, Hong Kong is part of China.

I think the real question here is what was possible for Hong Kong vs. what actually happened. Riots were maybe not the best strategy, in hindsight.

microk8s and k3s aren't fit or designed for production, they're mostly for testing/experimenting.

And even with managed Kubernetes, there's still a lot of complexity remaining ( GCP had to come out with a more managed service, GKE Autopilot, to address some of that), but you still have the evolution of APIs to keep track of every update you make, and there are still dozens of services that are updated each update, and each one can go wrong ( even if it rarely does).

> . One of the benefits of these lightweight solutions is that, you will basically find a helm chart for any serious application out there where as in nomad you might have to figure it out how to deploy. For instances deploying cassandra, you will find a helm chart, but nomad, you might find blog that does it or figure it out yourself. To my best of knowledge that how it is, may be I am wrong?

Indeed, and that's the main disadvantage for Nomad IMHO, the ecosystem is much smaller so there aren't that many ready-made equivalents to Helm charts and operators. Depending on how many of those you need, k8s can save you a lot of time.
I have asked many people in those regions excluding Xinjiang, and the answers are never as black and white as the narratives you read online.

In Tibet, people were not too happy about the military presence on the streets, the cultural assimilation or the mao statue in the shadow of Potala palace, but on balance are were happy to be part of China due to the economic development. People felt they would be unemployed without han presence.

In Hong Kong, the most common thing I heard was vaguely racist grumblings about mainlanders. People were unhappy with mainlanders behaving in an "uncivil" manner. There was a majority acknowledgement of China's sovereignty over Hong Kong, and a strong "Chinese" identity.

In Taiwan, things did fit your narrative pretty closely. People want nothing to do with the CCP, and many even wanting nothing to do with the mainland at all.

Big caveat: I don't know much about your position or where you're located. Sometimes that matters; Cobol, Fortran, Ada, Perl, etc are still around but job opportunities vary. If I had to guess, places that use them are less likely to offer remote working soon. Also, nobody can predict the future. How longer shelf-life do you need? 10 years? 20 years? You might've moved to e.g. product or program management by then. I want an easy life, too, and don't plan on sticking to programming the whole time. I figure I'll know more in ~10-15 years. Anyway...

Ruby on Rails is still well and alive (see Ruby 3.0, and the recent mimemagic issue), overall I think PHP is more widely deployed (and alive, see the recent malicious commits to PHP. worth exploiting like that = people use it and update it). As brundolf said, Wordpress is everywhere.

You could go off the one you prefer more, but I'd definitely recommend reaching out to contacts and just casually surveying if they know what places use what to give you an idea of your local situation.
You make it sound like China is free to attack as soon as it is reasonably independent of products manufactured by the TSMC. That's a scary thought because the rest of the world probably wouldn't be, putting China at an advantage over the rest of the world. The only way to stop that would be to make such a war effort itself too costly, which seems unrealistic.
As to point number 4, I think the idea there is to have the bot permanently connected to a conveyor like that, and use them to unload or load trucks. It's a pretty useful use case, even if it does mean the bot can't roam the factory floor.
Look. Pretty much everyone who has interacted with him keeps saying, over and over, that he is an absolutely awful person, that he is abusive, and that people keep telling him this and he keeps not doing anything whatsoever to change.

I am going to choose to believe all of those people, and I am going to choose not to insult everyone suffering from ASD by claiming that that is how a person with ASD acts.

Because that is a very awful thing to claim.
I interpret the parent comment "Chinese don't want to be Chinese" as no one (including Chinese citizens) wants to be under the thumb of an authoritarian government. Not a racist comment.
It seems to be a moot point now - China simply refused to recognize a BNO passport as a legal document so you can't leave.
> start discussing how we elect the president of our country

lmao
Both points are over generalizations. It's obviously a complex issue. I've been to Taiwan, I've been to Hong Kong, and from my conversations with all types of people the best I can understand as a foreigner is that the Government is not what being Chinese is about. It's about the culture at the end of the day. You could argue that some population of Chinese have kept a certain culture present from a particular time. There's a lot of what I was told (I can't really know) traditional culture in Taiwan. There was an interesting mix of old and new in Hong Kong. It's sad to see so much conflict as a result of weaponizing identity and heritage. The stuff of lore is what makes any story interesting, and we destroy it with inept government structures.

> If your statement is not a conclusion(albeit not a certain one), than what is it?

Do you agree that there is a substantial difference between stating "I think/believe X is true" and stating "X is true"?

In my view, you can only honestly use the second form if you can back it up at least somewhat. You don't need 100% certainty, but definitely more than anecdotes.

My first comment in this thread was a criticism of someone using the latter form without backing it up. In a trivial sense it is indeed a conclusion, but not one about the outcome of the #metoo movement, but one about the parent comment: that it asserts a claim with unwarranted confidence.

1) No, I do not have faith in a public shaming based justice system. I also did not argue that this should be the new normal. But our established justice system has evidently been systematically failing women, and it needed a wake-up call to take their grievances seriously. A justice system should never see its own legitimacy as a given: it is kept honest by the knowledge that if people stop seeing it as legitimate, they will seek justice in other avenues.

3) Again, I don't see how this is relevant to the question we are discussing, which is "has #metoo been a net positive for women?" It seems to be an argument for the statement "it has been bad for some men who did not deserve it", but that's a broader question.
If I remember correctly "solving" protein folding was essentially some high probability prediction that state A transform to state B with some reasonably high chance, on a big dataset. Or something like that anyway. It's as far from high level work with genetics as creating nanotubes a few molecules long in lab manually is away from industrial production.
The evidence of efficacy is very weak and the risks are very high. This article goes into much better detail about that:

I have been studying Latin by my self for the past couple of years, and would recommend anyone looking at this to instead consider learning Latin by the Dowling Method. It is simpler and much more straightforward than any course. It essentially boils down to memorizing all of Latin's regular grammatical forms, and then reading Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata with those tables fresh in mind.

It may seem old-fashioned, but I think this is the best strategy for learning such a highly inflected and essentially dead language, especially if you only have experience with mostly analytical languages to begin with. Much of what makes this work is the work of genius that is LLPSI, but I have come to see the value of this strategy for language learning in general. If you are as convinced of the input-hypothesis as me, then you might agree that this is the quickest way to get reading independently in Latin, which is where most learning will take place.

The only objection I have with Dowling's method, is that you should start reading LLPSI immediately, rereading chapters over and over while you are memorizing the tables. Only pace yourself, and don't rush on to chapters covering grammar that you haven't started memorizing yet. If you get bored with old chapters, pick up the companion books, like Fabellae Latinae, for more reading materials.

As Vinnl suggested, I interpreted dvt’s comment as disliking the declarative style rather than imperative. If the comment was instead intended just to object to the JSX/SVG syntax, then the objection seems rather superficial. It’s just an entity type and some named parameters, plus a bit of punctuation that will be immediately familiar to anyone working in front-end web development. If the alternative in dvt’s comment was meant to be a declarative specification of a circle and not an imperative call to draw one, then the biggest difference between

<circle cx="150" cy="77" r="40" />

and

draw.circle(150, 77, 40)

is that the former uses named parameters and the latter does not, and I suspect a lot of us would consider the former to be the more explicit, less error-prone choice in that case.

CPU performance, especially single-core, has stalled in the last decade while GPU performance has kept improving. On paper, a 3080 has about 100x faster FP32 performance versus a modern gaming CPU, and in practice even considering memory bandwidth you do fully get a speed-bump of one or two orders of magnitude. I would not call that a "modest constant factor".

And a lot of the recent CPU performance gains are due to SIMD and multithreading, which are basically making CPUs more GPU-like, rather than the continuous improvement of serial performance as we've had up until ~2005.

They do do something. Caffeine is a nootropic that has well studied positive effects.

The thing with most nootropics though is that the effects aren't big, the side effects of chronic usage aren't well known, and the basics such as exercise/sleep have a bigger effect.

Out of the two mentioned above (magnesium and l-theanine) - many people are deficient in magnesium due to modern diet, and there's some evidence that l-theanine works well with caffeine to aid concentration (it's found in green tea but not coffee). I have no idea about the neurogenesis claims though.

Well geopolitics is simply not that simple. What if the Chinese government kept telling the USA that california should hold an independence referendum? Might sound like a stupid example, but Americans would be up in arms at such a proposition.
What if China told the USA to end the trade blockade on Cuba so that they fairly take part in the global economy and climb out of poverty? Again, the USA would never consider such a proposition.

The reality is we don't know how many HK residents want to be independent. Ideally they could hold an independence referendum, but the Chinese government don't want that, and due to the geopolitical tensions in the world right now they're not going to take advice from Western nations.

You could make the same argument to the UK about Wales and Scotland, or Spain with Catalunia and the Basque Country. Neither government is going to let a referendum happen for quite a while.
