So there's some interesting history on the founding of H Mart that doesn't exist in English. The founder of H Mart is the child of a former secretary of former president Chun Doo-hwan, who is believed to have laundered a bunch of money from the Korean government. It's widely believed that some of the money was used to start H Mart, and my Korean wife is cautious about patronizing it because of that.

I wish I could provide English sources, but they only exist in Korean.

> Actions which are not prosecutable under the law are very specifically what you say they are not: legally meaningless.

Are you really trying to suggest that actions done by an individual are illegal only if the government can successfully prosecute that individual for their action? Clearly the legality of an action and the ability to prosecute an action are separate concepts.

> It's telling that they tried to proxy a value under campaign FINANCE violations

This very obviously falls under campaign finance regulations. Federal regulations prohibit campaigns from accepting "things of value" from foreign nationals, and opposition research on a political opponent is also clearly a thing of value, seeing as campaigns hire people to perform opposition research all the time. Dirt on a political opponent also obviously falls under something that would be revealed by opposition research.

> Parse this again and again. What does this mean? Who would be "interfering?"

The Russians would be interfering in our elections through ads/marketing that support Trump, and providing things of value to the Trump campaign. If the Trump campaign helps the Russians accomplish those goals (through accepting information or giving the Russians demographic data) that would be illegal. It's really quite simple to understand.

Why do you assume running a bunch or GNU utilities and Linux chroots (“containers”) is something developers need generally? Only developers working on specific things and working in pretty specific ways will need that. Maybe that’s a lot of the folks here on Hacker News, but it’s not, say, the millions of people doing iOS development.

> I find developers flocking to macOS really bewildering. As a developer, why do you want to fight your operating system to get basic things done?

Why is it hard to grasp that different people have different needs and experiences?

Maybe you would have to fight macOS. Others have to fight Linux, or Windows, or Android, or iOS. There’s a reason not everyone is on the same platforms.

Do you mean the Zizhu (紫竹) technology park? I used to live in the vicinity and took a lot of long walks, so I know there's quite a lot of agricultural land south and east of there. If you follow Dongchuan Road to the eastern end it already looks pretty rural, and randomly taking smaller roads from there in a southeasterly direction should lead you to your first rice field soon. That's less than 5 km away from the Microsoft campus.

However, I don't expect the kind of person who stays at a 5-star hotel to spend much time randomly exploring their surroundings.

At the time of college, for me, internet2 consisted of mostly all the accredited universities who could afford it and special companies providing limited services.

Moore’s talks and quotes of his from various lecture notes on this point really inspired the underlying theory of my personal programming language. I wanted something that I could adapt to different use cases when I saw fit, but with a solid underlying theoretical base. I have been using it for my personal work for about 8 months now (compiling to JS, C or C++ depending on project) and I’m enjoying it greatly as well as being productive.

Any claims of better than 2x should be viewed through a hugely skeptical eye.

1) 2x would take an electric car from 300 miles range to 600 miles range. That is a pretty radical improvement in energy density that possibly exceeds even hydrocarbons.

I haven't done any serious C++ in about 15 years.

If I were to try to pick it up again today, I would have to learn "modern C++"[0] incrementally. I would still have some old habits, and they would take time to iron out. My guess is that it would take me at least a year, possibly more, to become fully proficient in "modern C++".

And even then, I'd still expect that I'd occasionally write some C++ in the "old" way. Maybe I'm tired and forget, maybe I'm lazy and want a shortcut. Who knows. The compiler won't save me from my "old C++". It'll be there, warts and footguns and all.

I'd much rather write in a language designed to not have these problems in the first place, and let the compiler catch as many problems as it can.

[0] Whatever "modern C++" means; I suspect current C++ developers can reasonably disagree on the details, as has been the case for the entire history of C++.
Biden's State-Sponsored Labor Shortage
There is a series of blog posts by Hillel Wayne, where he interviews former "real" engineers who became software developers, and asked them whether software development is engineering.

15 out of 17 subjects said yes, software development is engineering.

One interesting takeaway for me from that article is that we over-romanticise what "real" engineers actually do in their day-to-day life. "Real" engineering practices is messy and sloppy in ways that would make software developers uncomfortable, according to the some people who worked on both sides.

The articles are well worth a read:

That seems like a good point. I've worked from home for 15 years, and my productivity (and billable hours) took a big hit last spring, just from the distraction of trying to learn what I could and be prepared. Subjectively I'd say my focus suffered as well. I imagine businesses have lost productivity in all kinds of ways the last ~15 months.

Vaguely related: approximately 20 years ago I hosted "The Amiga Alternative Audio Page". Every time I migrate my blog to a new platform -- which is often because I like to tinker with it -- I figure this is the time I'll finally kill that page forever. And then my web logs fill with 404s and I bring it back from the dead because I don't have the heart to kill old Amiga software.

So, https://honeypot.net/post/the-amiga-alternative-audio-page/ is still a thing, but please don't ask me to update any of that software. I wouldn't know how to anymore if I wanted to.

A few comments:

1. There are two speeds: compression and decompression; lz4 only beats zstd when decompressing ("zstd -1" will compress faster than lz4, and you can crank that up several levels and still beat lz4_hc on cmopression). bzip2 is actually fairly competitive at compression for the ratios it achieves but loses badly at decompression.

2. "zstd --ultra -22" is nearly identical compression to xz on a corpus I just tested (an old gentoo distfiles snapshot) while decompressing much faster (I didn't compare compression speeds because the files were already xz compressed).

[edit]

Arch linux (which likely tested a larger corpus than I) reported a 0.8% regression in size when switching from xz to zstd using a compression level 20. This supports your assertion that xz will beat zstd in compression ratio.

[edit2]

bzip2 accidentally[1] outperforms all other compression algorithms I've tried handily on large files that are all zero; for example 1GB of zeroes with "dd if=/dev/zero bs=$((1024*1024)) count=1024 |bzip2 -9 > foo.bz2" generates a file that is only 785 bytes. zstd is 33k and xz is 153k. Of course my non-codegolfed script for generating 1GB of zeros is only 38 bytes...

1: There was a bug in the original BWT implementation that had degenerate performance on long strings of identical bytes, so bzip2 includes an RLE pass before the BWT.

Interesting:

"Children of divorced parents are on average unhappier, more anxious, and more likely to be depressed. They’re also less likely to graduate from high school and college, typically make less money, and are more likely to ultimately get divorced themselves. But: The same is true of children whose parents stayed in a high-conflict marriage. Relationships that breed severe conflict can be as hard on children as breakups. Chaos is the culprit, not legal status."
I _do_ close tabs when I'm done with them.

The problem is that I have multiple things I'm working on and I don't want to close the dozen or two tabs open that I have related to it while I'm still working on the project, because looking up the bookmark, or finding the URL, and then scrolling the right spot is many times more work than just keeping the tab open and switching back to it when I need it.

My favorite Firefox feature of all time was "Tab Candy" which was later renamed to "Panorama" It allowed you to automatically group tabs by project or context and let you switch between them seamlessly. Firefox decided to kill it and there is nothing like it now, all of the closest alternatives--when they actually work--require you to manually save and reload groups, which is not effort I'm willing to make.

It's just not. There's no way using the historical understanding of Anarchism where the following scenario wouldn't be seen as completely absurd:

"Hi HeckFeck! Yeah, this is an anarchist society, we have no state and no rulers, well, except for Fred. He owns all the Water. He inherited the rights from his great grand father that bought it for grains from the starving citizens, yeah, he owns all the land too. Anyway, welcome to Fred's coal mine, grab your hat."

So did the media. Are wr going to arrest any news commentator who was viewed by a Russian?
Maybe in a generic-you sense ("one also cares"), but if by "you" you mean me, no, most of my compression needs are in situations where I control both the compression and decompression sides of the interaction, e.g., deciding how to store business data at rest on s3, and debating the tradeoffs between cost of space, download time, and decompression time/CPU use. We migrated a bunch of workflows at my last job from gzip to either lz4 or zstd to take advantage of better tradeoffs there, and if I were building a similar pipeline from scratch now, gzip would not be a contender. Adding an extra dependency to my application is pretty trivial, in exchange for shaving ten minutes' worth of download and decompression time off of every CI run.
I have a BEng in Software Engineering. My degree curriculum was approved by the IET, and they and the BCS have frequently raised the subject of chartered status and requirements in the UK, and I'd consider it but fear they could not keep up.

I build systems in the public interest to the same extent that all other engineers do. The idea that tech has had disasters and so is "below" engineers of other disciplines is dismissive of bridge collapses, plane crashes and nuclear reactor accidents that are nothing to do with the software branch of engineering.

This article is gatekeeping snobbery and makes no serious contribution to the discussion of my profession, or its standing.

All of that involved consciously causing physiological changes in your body for the computer to sense. Suppose this was a thought interface for an aircraft pilot. Physically they're already fully engaged in a demanding activity, what we need is to open up a new channel of communication from them to the computer in addition to their physical input. If they're focusing on twitching or changing the resistivity in their fingertips, that's going to interfere with their using their fingers to manipulate controls.

There are other similar situations, such as people in a coma that can't cause physiological changes. The point is to offload as much processing on to the computer, to make the process of communication as simple and direct for us as possible. Training ourselves to jump through mental and physiological hoops is the opposite of the point.
