> It was rotated 90 degrees probably for no other reason than because it works well alongside vertical Chinese

Chinese (and Japanese and Korean), when written vertically, the collums are written right to left. In the Mongolian script, the columns are left to right, so I don't know how well it works with Chinese.

> Japanese is probably the most resistant and has its traditionalist holdouts in novels and some print newspapers

Almost every book I have in Japanese, including Japanese-Japanese dictionaries, Kanji dictionaries, kids science books, temple books and even a bilingual Japanese and English Shogi book are written with vertical text (English is horizontal in this last one). My Japanese cookbooks have text in both directions.

Manga text is written vertically, to the point even most translated manga has their pages going right-to-left as their Japanese counterparts.

Japanese ebooks can be read vertically too:
https://www.preining.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/PW...

I also frequently see very recent Japanese lessons texts and questions all vertically.

So it's definetly not just on novels and some newspapers.

You are correct about the smart phone apps and software in general though.

> this shift is mostly because software can't handle vertical text.

Yes it can. I remember being able to print vertical Japanese almost 20 years ago.

> So the answer is that UI's don't handle it. It's almost always a disaster in software

Density makes it easier to build the infrastructure to support population growth.

Distribution makes it more expensive to build that infrastructure. Thus inreasing distribution hinders rather than helps the ability of California to support a larger population.

That seems to directly contradict the points you were making.
I don't think it's "clickbait", but it is a very incomplete picture. A previous comment on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26815088

If you look at the interviews, then he's usually fairly nuanced and just pragmatical. The "nVidia, fuck you" was pretty funny in context, but now Linus giving the finger is the image for many Ars stories on Linus shrug.

And even when he's being an asshole he's at least being a constructive asshole; I don't care much for the overly confrontational style either, but it's a lot better than people just being assholes, which is very common too.

I also don't think that every community needs to adopt the same communication style by the way. What is considered "professional" is quite different in the Netherlands than it is in the US with its weird hyper-aversion to "bad words" (e.g. a while ago I saw a police shooting where someone was literally being killed containing a content warning for ... "offensive language", and not the actual literal death of someone).
>To be fair, I thought the dev’s response was adequate here. Just posting on the issue section that the “colors are wrong” while comparing with uxrvt

I went and looked at the issue, and the title is not "colors are wrong" but it is "Colors don't look as they should". Interesting how everyone comes away with what they this was said. Says a lot about the dev who responded, really.
First application that comes to mind when trying to internalize this concept is drug usage.
My father doesn't live in California, but he's one of those baby boomers that drives me crazy with this kind of crap.

There are no jobs or industry anywhere near where we grew up but people like him make sure that stays a reality and then he has the nerve to complain about how I live so far away. He's the ultimate NIMBY. He and others like him all truly believe that as soon as their house was completed no further changes can ever allow to happen or else it will ruin the landscape. It's not just hypocritical it's outright selfish.

> Thrift stores were also a lot more tolerant of junk back then. If they could sell something, it didn't much matter if it was broken as long as the customer knew it was broken.

I suspect that thet haven’t gotten any less tolerant, just what people are willing to buy from them at a cost that covers justifies the inventory space given competition for the space has changed.

>Oxycontin was FDA approved and it had a massive black box warning that said THIS DRUG IS ADDICTIVE.

They lied in their submission to get it FDA approved. And that massive black box only appeared 20 years after the introduction of the drug.

As I said, they place profit over the wellbeing of people. That doesn't mean they don't save lives, but if it's more profitable to save fewer they'll generally prefer that route.
I would encourage you to look for cities in the United States with declining populations or even states and ask yourself if you still feel the same way.

Nobody complains about housing prices in Detroit. (Yes I'm aware there is a specific section of Detroit that is very trendy but I'm talking about the city as a whole)
They really did a great job at math. The humanities were terrible, it was hopelessly politicized. But if you didn't want to deal with constant lectures about the struggles of the working classes, or constant coursework on marxism-leninism, you studied math or physics, or engineering. It helped, of course, that the government had as a national policy the promotion of STEM. But they did an amazing job at it, and produced a fantastic crop of world-changing talent.

Unless I'm missing something, this just looks like a wrapper around other open source scanning tools, including checkov, trivy, and tfsec [1]. Why would someone use this over those tools, each of which have GitHub apps as well?

Yes, that is more a misunderstanding of the purpose/role of university homework vs highschool homework.
No Python codegen yet. Our plan is basically that as we migrate AWS SDKs to Smithy, we'll also offer generic client generators too. The Python migration hasn't started yet.
Ah, okay. My guess is he probably let "settle.network" expire, and the owners of the unrelated "settlenetwork.com" bought the domain and redirected it for anti-brand confusion, SEO or latent traffic reasons. I don't see anything technically related across them. The original settle.network was "without a blockchain", settlenetwork.com is very much "with a blockchain".

Edit: The "settle.network" domain as it sits now was first registered in 2019, well after the last activity on the github repo. So yeah, he let the domain lapse out.
I honestly don’t know if the people who write these articles simply benefit from trying to scare people or what. I really am amazed at the price of chia atm as I think it’s insanely high.

Chia farming (plotting) seems to work by creating plots that require moderate cpu and ram and very fast storage. A plot (k32) will take between 6 to 12 hours to be generated and then it gets move to a slower disk (even a usb3 one according to the docs) and will be used for up to five years to check against challenges and make chia coins for finding the solutions.

So the main issue for farming chia long term is that you need disks for storing your plots.

Looking at a profit calculator [1] for chia right now gives a yield of 1k USD for the first couple of months for just 10Tb worth of plots. That is an insanely profitable and I expect that either the price will eventually drop to close to the cost of farming, or network space will get high enough that rewards will reduce enough to make farming as expensive.

It’s not USD/BTC. That’s not longer the dynamic, if BTC is dumped it’s value falls in relation to all other coins/tokens/fiat.

> A whale liquidating lots of BTC sounds like a sweet bargain to me.

This is my point, it’s all me, me, me. What about the people that lose everything. And what about when it’s no longer a situation of “only invest what you can afford to lose” rather that’s the currency you get paid in and it’s regularly subjected to pump and dump schemes. That’s not a system of currency, much less a democratization of money.

The entire defi system is currently set up for people to literally act as vultures and skim money from liquidity pools staked by others. NFTs are effectively money laundering schemes mixed with guerrilla marketing consisting of fake collectors, self purchases/self dealing, and more pump and dump scams.

Imagine some senior citizen just trying to pay rent, buy groceries and pay for meds fiddling with the most user friendly centralized wallets much less managing their own private key and setting gas. They fact is there are whales and they are sophisticated persons/organizations (if not live neural nets/bots trading on their behalf with unlimited capital and liquidity seeking to scrap profits by manipulating the prices) they certainly aren’t the unbanked which is another bs marketing scheme of the technology.
Does Smith support describing OAuth ?
I share the same view, based on the jobs in my area, everyone is using Python to prototype and Java/Scala to productionize, I've also seen Node.js increasingly being used, probably for things that are I/O-intensive and not compute-bounded. Rust could change the landscape for Node/Deno, critical code which is memory/cpu-intensive could be exported to a WASM library or an external dependency that can be called through FFI (though that would be very slow and you introduce the 2-language problem that Julia is trying to fix for Python). Anyway, even if we are in a way better state today than, let's say, 5 years ago when it comes to picking tools for data engineering, I strongly believe that JVM is here to say for a long, long time.
> the volume/variety may have increased, but the value-finds have gotten much worse.

Yes, awareness of competing buyers (and better market access of the seller) erases arbitrage opportunities. Venues that price at a steal compared to the broader market are not in a stable equilibrium.
My 9 year old has to do reflex math (fact memorization); she wants to get to 100% by the end of the school year. I created a spreadsheet, and started entering her data. I added a linear regression line & explained how it worked. She was immediately suspicious, and began questioning how all the lines worked, and why it’d take so long, etc. I ended up teaching her the intuition for linear regressions, functions, etc. Very enjoyable for both of us.
I'm not sure, but I think I would make a language based on structural typing only, including to allow a structural type to contain names. (Scala actually already has literal types that come close)

Think about the following type-level (not runtime) representation for a structural type (tuple):

(String -> Integer)

And the following for a structural type with where each "member" has a name:

(("name" -> String) -> ("age" -> Integer))

And the following for a named structural type where each "member" has a name:

("User" -> (("name" -> String) -> ("age" -> Integer)))

The last structural type here would be equivalent to a class/record in Java. I would then add syntax that makes working with these special kinds of structural types more easy. So

record User (String name, Integer age)

would translate to the structure above.
But one could also do something like that _if they wanted to_:

("User" -> (("field1" -> ("name" -> String)) -> ("field2" -> ("age" -> Integer))))

The closed equivalent would be a Java record where each member is annotated. This could be used to serialize/deserialize it into json.

I think that's what I would try :) but I'm not a PL designer.
Yeah, that's like high-end city manager pay.
It's always very strange for me to hear this argument made. It seems you've elevated yourself above the other animals, and I gather, plants as well. Why do you believe that you are anything but another mammal, intricately woven into the biosphere and the food chain? Life eats life. This is the reality. You are an animal. You eat life. The plants that vegetarians and vegans are eating, also ate life. The microbes and fungus that fed the plants, also ate life. To pretend plants have no feelings, emotions, and capability to communicate intelligently (especially plants much much older than humans) is a common mistake, and one made out of lack of observation, and human hubris.

I agree so strongly with this sentiment. There is always such a defeatist attitude on these threads that assumes California is somehow full and unchangeable. Outside of the three metro areas, it's basically empty! Separately, in the metro areas, there's a lot of room for infill density.

Three years back, I made the rational choice to leave because I could barely see a way to home ownership - not to mention having a family and sending children to a good school.

California can solve all of it's problems if it wanted to. I think the problem is the number of people in California who have barely left the state and view the rest of the country as this underdeveloped backwater.

Food for thought, California currently:

- Is tied for the 3rd highest unemployment rate https://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm

- Has the 5th highest Gini coefficient https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_Gini_...

- Has the LOWEST high school graduation rate https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/high-school...

The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have a problem.
Yes the people were California’s greatest asset. Unfortunately many of them have been displaced by hordes of tech bros (and sis) who swooped in for those almighty dollars.

Not that I am knocking the hustle, but in my experience they don’t really like living here, do not understand or respect the locals, and their contributions to the overall cultural atmosphere are subtraction by addition.

I knew we were in trouble when I started running into people who moved into tech from finance after the 2008 crash. Now these people are spreading to Austin, like a cancer. The sad part is people blame California for it, when most of these people are not actually from here.

Perhaps you can also give filters for "on station" satellites from all. Satellites not yet in station are not really giving coverage yet ?
It drives me crazy when people complain about charity ceo pay. Half a million is a drop in the bucket compared to their actually expenses. If you reduce the ceo pay, you’ll find your ceo leaves every few months because they’re being offered ten times more somewhere else.
The cost of hiring the wrong person and letting them go because they can’t program in the US is very low compared to the price of running a SV style hiring pipeline.

And in other countries where it’s harder to fire people, there is a almost always a probationary period were most protections don’t apply.
if you mean some televangelist megachurch then sure, they're basically the same thing.

I was thinking of local parishes, which have historically existed as a communal centre and hub of support for a community.

I genuinely don't understand how you'd think that enlisting a professional service versus your local community to deal with a bereavement would not be different? That's like saying that the only difference between paying somebody to be your friend versus having a legitimate friend is only different because money changed hands?
You’re basically saying people should live in the desert or farmland, where there are not many good jobs, because you don’t want to be inconvenienced. But worse than that is the head in the sand attitude that if only people held the same opinion as you, the problem would fix itself. No amount of opinion will fix the mismatch between jobs and housing in California’s large urban areas
Barely any compared to an orchard.
I know some of it is preemptively-prepared clothing for things that don’t happen, like commemorating championship wins of teams that end up losing. The stuff for the finalists is ready to sell for the day the winner is decided, the actual winners stuff is sold and the rest is dumped overseas.
I keep getting ads on Youtube from some Malaysian guys telling me how they bought cheap Chinese stuff on Alibaba and sold it for like 10x the price on Amazon and how I can really easily get $200,000 USD per month if I follow their 'easy' course. I really wish all these dropshipping "entrepreneurs" would run each other into the ground.
Regardless of what I might mean by “hardware”, is there any way Tesla should be stating as fact that the cars coming off the line in 2019 (when I took that quote from) need no additional hardware to accomplish something that is years (if not decades) away from becoming reality?
Here's a good old business idea. Create a gift registry where donors upload their donations to be validated / accepted by the charity org. The registry could be open source or for-profit.
You're making a great point here, that I've never heard before in the debate. Not only in the specific issue of the article, but public life in general.

I think the argument is that drunks did consent, in the same spirit as a drunk driver carry a responsibility. Still, going too far might be harassment. Guardians are responsible for making choices for minors until they can make those choices themselves.
As a native Californian I would argue a place like Hawaii is much closer to paradise on earth.
Apple would not be 'stealing' software. Nobody promised that OSX could run any software the user wishes. Does Apple steal software and "interfere with the business of suppliers" every time they break backward compatibility?

They just need to time a new policy to a major release (say they make it apply only from that release on), and that would be no different then any other breaking change.

It wouldn't be popular on HN, but it's technically possible and legal. I'm sure that the Apple fans here will support it unreservedly.
Felt similar when I learned what inverting/reversing a tree meant.
How does letting those pensions go bankrupt help anything? If the funds go bankrupt, it isn't the executives who used financial shenanigans to bleed the funds dry that face consequences. It is the employees who had no role in the management of the pension funds that end up punished.

If you want to actually stop that bad behavior, we need to massively overhaul how we address whitecollar crime in this country so that bad actors face real consequences.
According to Wikipedia: "Mongolia has a high literacy rate, consistently rated around 98%" ([1]).

This is presumably based on estimates from the ACS, which have severely undercounted population in many states. In August the official census estimates may say the opposite.
I had this book circa 1993…

I read it front to back several Times and continued to use it as a reference for years afterward.

I was using HyperCard to build an entire operating environment for myself layered on top of classic macOS. I had the equivalent of directory indexes and file management and the ability to manage and consume multi media files… Including porn, of course, but weirdly icons were the thing I kept downloading and needed to manage…. Icons and sound files…

Then I got my first UNIX shell account and never opened that book again…
Why is this relevant? The Earth doesn't care about per capita emissions. Only total emissions affect global warming.
> I always assumed it was a charity so surprised to find out it’s a corporation

It is a charity. Most charities are corporations (pretty much anything with an identity that isn’t a government of a facade for an individual is a corporation, LLC, or partnership of some kind, and charities can’t be partnerships or individuals, and I’m not sure about LLCs but even if they can be there probably is no reason to.
Let's be fair. Andreesen is just one person out of 7000 living in Atherton, and he's made his own position clear. Other than that, there's no evidence that he is or isn't a NIMBY, so let's not jump to fast conclusions without more data.

Well, sure. It will be good to get the actual data, and then we'll know.

Right now, what we have is aggregate death counts (which we know are high), and people speculating that they're elevated because of Covid (or in this case, making models based on speculation).
The mentality of this author is problematic.

From the perspective of someone asking for Y, I've often been a victim of
this because I'm met with a slew of imagined X's -- X0, X1, X2, ... an
unending list of problems, often more complicated than Y -- due to their
narrow preconceptions, making the whole exercise of asking someone not worth
the time.

From the perspective of someone being asked for Y, yes, often I can suspect
that there might be some mis-matched X there, but in order to be helpful, I
try to answer Y directly and honestly, and then point out my concerns,
describing my presumptions. If, indeed, the one posing the question has
jumped to some invalid conclusion Y from X, then I've given them all I can.
Trying to pre-empt it by telling them "don't do that!" is pointless -- if
they knew where they had made an unwarranted conclusion, they wouldn't be
asking the wrong question to begin with.
Where do the extra billions come from?
The Turkic and Mongolian languages all came from the area around south Siberia and Mongolia. So ironically it is those Turkic people in Siberia who are the ones that stayed closest to home!

The Huns might have been a Turkic group, but that's hard to prove or disprove since we don't have any records of their language beyond names and a few words that were probably borrowed anyway.
A prospective test is blind. You don't know what the data looks like, so you can't cheat.

> Also, if I understand correctly, none of the modeling done in standard texts such as Gelman et al.'s Bayesian Data Analysis involves prospective validation under your definition. Should we then classify the examples in that book as "mathematical fairy tales"? This seems like a fairly strict standard!

It's surprisingly common for models to pass all of the cross-validation you want to throw at them, and fail in the real world. I don't care what statistical techniques you've applied, if you don't conduct blind tests, you don't know how your model performs.

Setting this aside: TFA did nothing you're talking about. Let's be clear about that.
Implicits are one feature that replace many features in other languages (Kotlin has probably 5 or 6 special features that each do limited subsets of what implicits can do, and still misses important parts of their functionality). There is some legitimate criticism to be made of Scala implicits (though I have yet to see a better alternative), but "too many features" isn't it.
