If you're in the Americas, Europe, or Australia that will never happen in your lifetime. Think about how plausible the US annexing China and controlling it would be. Now flip that around and double the difficulty.

If you're in southeast asia the calculus changes. But the cost benefit analysis really leans against annexing hostile locals these days unless it's some nationalist mythology like China and Taiwan. And if you're in southeast asia I'd say future heat waves and climate disasters means you'll be more likely heading north into China than them heading south.

If it's a soft ideological takeover you're envisioning then that's really the responsibility of the democratic society you live in. Democracy falls when people no longer believe in its ideas or that it is an effective way of governance.
If you've been selling the most advanced, most capable chisels for generations, unassailable, while your client master sculptors exchange titles.... I don't know what that makes you--kingmaker doesn't quite fit--but it's not nothing. It might make you wary of getting too close (figuratively or physically) to any particular client, lest you risk falling from grace as your client invariably will.
I think I understand your posting now - what you are saying is exactly what I mean, but it's of course only true for IDE developers.

And actually, I'm not sure if LSPs help so much. To my knowledge, IntelliJ still uses its own compiler to support the user at least partially of the code is incorrect and doesn't compile.
I agree this is annoying—but isn't it par for the course? OneDrive does the same thing. Is Dropbox better?

The thing that really annoyed me was that SyncThing synced .DS_Store files, leading to tons of unnecessary transfers and conflicts. They could be excluded via ignore patterns, but those patterns needed to be added to every folder—there was no global option. To fix this, I had to edit the code and create my own custom SyncThing build.
And 6 weeks for a small proportion. Might also end up narrowing that 4 month gap for many and seeing how that works.

It might take a while, as immunity wanes, to see what these different intervals really mean.
Tariffs, yes. Taxes, no. Simply comparing the cost of technology-based goods between AUS and USA/CAN - or worse, digital-based items - shows why Australia is not an attractive place for technology companies.
Everyone stands in the shoulders of those who came before, and that is a good thing.

The US didn't invent physics, didn't invent gunpowder, oil, math, textiles, ROCKETS, etc. But they did "acquire" them all, somehow.

> China runs the largest IP theft program in the world.

Most IP has been given to them by "businessmen" trying to gain and edge and betting wrong. That is not theft, if anything, is stupidity. To the degree China has stolen trade secrets, do you really think no other country has a corporate spy program? Do you not know who the biggest ip "thief" in the world is?
I really enjoyed this take. I hadn't thought of our tools going from complex to simple and back again. Insightful.
I don’t know the direct answer to your question, but I briefly looked at your github. It wasn’t clear to me what your value proposition is.

What are you doing that’s different? If I had a new web project, why would I use your framework? Is there something that it simplifies for me? What does it do better? Is there a particular vision you have?

You might consider entering some of these questions in your README.
For a dating/social app what matters to users is the pool of other users. Are there enough users, etc.? and the answer is no (at this point).

I will look into the sources you shared. I have heard of The Mom Test and The Lean Product Playbook but haven't still had a chance to check them out. Will definitely do.

Thanks for the offer also. Will get in touch.
For me it sounds like neither.

More of "we make this condensed core, based on Scala - and if we are lucky and it turns out that the current Scala core can be made sound easily, then it will become Scala 3, else it will be a completely separate language".

E.g. if it would have turned out that you can't make implicits sound, then I doubt that dotty would have become Scala 3. With existential types however, they decided to remove this feature (which is a bit sad imho) and sacrifice it to make dotty become Scala 3.
Absolutely. He wasn't given $100B, he took a grant from the government to build something that they wanted and was able to parlay that into two incredible companies that are changing the world as we know it. You can attack the man for who he is, what he says, and whatever else you want, but saying that we didn't get something of value for the investment that the US made is ridiculous. He got filthy rich but we all got something in return.
The PRC is estimated to have some 350 warheads, enough to land one or two on every US city of 100k population or more, killing about a third of the population. That's not nearly enough to prevent a retaliatory strike, but it seems like a fairly effective deterrent, and Intel's and TI's US fabs would definitely be out of commission, even if they weren't targets, until after the Mexican Army or whoever moved in to mop up the leftovers.

It's hard to tell what you intend by your DDG link, but perhaps you are suggesting that, in the case of nuclear war, China will effectively revert to the Warring States Period of 2500 years ago. Is that really your intention? What would the US look like if it were returned to 2500 years ago, before the rise of the Anasazi and the Mound Builders, before the Olmec invented writing? A much more likely outcome than this sort of quasi time travel is that either a post-nuclear US or a post-nuclear China would look like nothing ever seen before in human history, more closely resembling the world in the immediate aftermath of the Chicxulub impact.
If you were in a very low risk group, I can see delaying taking the vaccine to avoid blocking a higher risk person. Absent that I truly don't understand declining any of the vaccines for COVID. The risk of serious side effects is negligible. Meanwhile, every day you are alive you move into a higher risk group both for COVID and for longer recovery of mild side effects. So why wait?

Best: you get the most life satisfaction from working to your best ability all the time.

Worst: some workplaces allow the negative workers on the team to get away with anything.
How would such a fat client setup handle authorisation?

Closest thing to what you mention is fire base as a back end. I guess that can work.
Chinese reunification seems unlikely to trash the fabs in Taiwan.

I went from earning $10K/yr as a student to a $120K income full time over the course of a month, why aren't you worshipping me and writing news articles about my accomplishment? Is it because rate of change doesn't count as much as you think it does?

To watch:

Kotlin NATIVE

Scala NATIVE

Note that even with Scala's complexity, the language's focus is first and foremost domain modelling & expressiveness.

Rust is first and foremost, a language for memory safety and raw performance, it just happens to have some level of expressiveness. Nothing wrong with that either.

Caps and batteries on Amiga motherboards go bad and need replacement and cleaning up. There are replacement Amiga motherboard projects to keep Amigas alive just transplant chips from a dead Amiga motherboard to the replacement motherboard. Also replacement Amiga case designs.

Not to mention the emulators out there. It seems everyone wants at least Amiga via emulation, just won't emulate PowerPC Amigas.
The original claim was "China had to develop all space technology on their own", which is not correct. No one claimed that there wasn't German V-2 technology used in the U.S. space program. Likewise, von Braun acknowledged that their work built on that of Robert Goddard in the U.S.
Space research in the US started before the Germans joined, but it never worked... The US had to bring Germans to make the whole thing successful.
Can you elaborate on how this relates?
I learned from my best colleagues: success is about trust. Nothing pays better dividends than being humble, being right a lot, and doing good work. This builds allies and allies build careers.

I learned from my worst colleagues: don’t assume that anyone will protect you from toxic or abusive people. You must be willing to protect yourself. When people come for you and your project, either be willing to throw down (metaphorically) or be willing to walk. Bad people often don’t have bad careers, and there is no justice.

Best: tactical diplomacy can be learned and is very valuable

Worst: The people who talk about others will talk about you
Best: if it's complicated, it's wrong.

Worst: almost no business deliverable is one tenth as important as the people telling you to give up your time, strength and sanity in order to achieve it will tell you that it is.
You do know that every operating system and CPU in existence has ill-defined operations, right?

The best-defined software I know of is SQLite. Every function is carefully documented with a description of all failure modes and returned error codes.

But also... SQLite has one of the most comprehensive test suites in existence, so I guess they lost? https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html
It is so "incredible" its on the front page of every newspaper in the world today, for how quickly it can spread the "Kill the Jew" meme.

When the tools have become simple enough that second graders can play with nuclear bombs we are all fucked.
And the US had to bring German scientists to have a space program.
Ah yes, voluntary theft. That's a thing that we can justify now, huh?
> In the United States, the level of professional dedication is no match to that in Taiwan, at least for engineers

What does this even mean? That US engineers expect benefits and work-life balance?
I had an Amiga 1000 in a staircase closet in my parent's basement. It just needed a new floppy drive and keyboard. My brothers cleaned up and found it broken and threw it away.
Wait, Pfizer is only ~75% effective against B.1.351? Can you provide a source. I was not aware of that and it's worrisome.
I get a deep sense of nostalgia for Windows 7's glass theme whenever I see a screenshot of it. It just looked so good, and polished.

Plus, the fat window borders with consistent title bars made everything so much more obvious. Today, one window blends into the next and every window has a different colour title bar, which can be incredibly confusing sometimes.
I appreciate the kind words!

Hadn't considered it originally because I was concerned about allowable characters in the URL, and jumped to base64 instead of leaning more heavily on the actual set of acceptable characters to make it readable.

In hindsight, this is a great thing to add to my next project that (inevitably) uses this technique, thanks!
I love Linode.

I've been running a small site for 10 years or so, I can't remember any significant issue. I've had uptimes of years, broken by me updating something on the host.

For example:

04:12:41 up 157 days, 9:47, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

(I rebuilt the linux image a few months ago, switched from an aging fedora to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS)
Absolutely they did, but that's like saying your neighbor offended your great great great great great grandfather 143 years ago so you're justified in sleeping with his wife.
Best: Be practical and be focused on the domain problem instead of the surrounding tools, abstract methods, etc.

Worst: Fire them all really really quickly. People that are bad after week 2-4 will never not be bad afterwards.
This really just seems like another way to state the Pareto principle.
And we’ll probably have more mutants appear. We’re hitting all time records in new infections. The more infections, the more copies, the more risk of an imperfect replication (mutant) that’s worse.

I’m happy that pigs and birds don’t seem to get COVID-19 (and hoping that’s not a mutation away).
It's even more impressive that the USSR did all that without using German scientists.
> The idea that California could become an economic wasteland is absolutely preposterous. It does have its problems: costs are high and there's extreme inequality (because of the nation's worst land taxation and land use policies combined, read your Henry George folks).

The wild housing market is 90% of the inequality. The other 90% can be summed up by this 1994 article in the New York Times [1].

If I were an energy intensive industry wanting to set up shop in Australia, I'd simply slap a bunch of solar panels and batteries on my multi-billion-dollar fab.
For sure. I feel like I'd be a lot more enthusiastic about work (in general, but especially remote work) if I, and my coworkers, had a normal social and family life along the way. It'd be a lot less exhausting and monotonous.
That things are better than they were is not particularly strong evidence supporting the “nanny state”.

I absolutely agree we are better off now than 100 years ago.
I think your example doesn't quite work. If one says "the guys/men in X", that can most likely be interpreted as "the people in X", particularly for male-dominated fields/areas. If someone specifies "the women in X" however, they're definitely talking specifically about women.

It would also be weird to me to specifically talk about how "the men" of wall street/bay area/etc as opposed to the women have any real shared traits. Gender is a factor in one's personality, but using that as your only feature is just bad stats.

Ah yes, so the chinese were "given" the designs to other military aircrafts which is why their fighter jets look identical to those from the USA and Russia?

It’s starting to sound a lot like the CIA selling drugs or weapons to terrorists, in order to fund their black ops.
If this is so good, why not switch your old employees on the 4 year grants to it?
Geopolitically this makes a lot of sense. Will be interesting to see how China reacts as it moves forward.

If Intel is serious this time about letting third parties into their fabs then it could be quite the reversal of fortune. However, as I've said in the past Intel is most likely to do this with "alternate" process streams, in order to not expose their full capabilities to competitors.

High hopes but low expectations. Real estate in AZ could be a good investment though.
its always interesting to read the comments on HN regarding China/Taiwan situation. Chinese invasion (Taiwan) threat is always there. It didn't stop when Nixon visit China and it didn't stop when American abandoned Taiwan to have a business relationship with China for more than 40 years.

the threat is so old now. there are some running jokes in Taiwan like "China threatening to invade Taiwan since my grandpa is alive then my father. I hope I get to see it before I die". a lot of Taiwanese already numb to the threat.

did South Korea stop everything whenever North Korea did a Nuke test?

American can throw ton of money into the semis industry like China big fund. maybe throw money at Intel, free money to companies like TSMC or Samsung to setup more fabs in the US or throw money at a home grown semis foundry?
From what I’ve read, some of them do and some don’t. Some Taiwanese still claim to be the legitimate Chinese government (in exile). Others would rather remain independent.
No thanks. Not looking forward to a friendly competition to develop auxiliary technology for wmds with an authoritarian regime. I like such regimes technologically obtuse. Maybe we can also give Iran and NK an award for pushing the boundaries of human knowledge on nuclear science. Your assessment of risk to humanity vs reward for human scientific progress is out of whack.
I'm in New Zealand and have family in Vietnam. It's a soft ideological take over I'm worried about with both. Vietnam being far more likely than New Zealand but we get a lot of economic benefit from China and they are buying up agriculture in New Zealand.
A more general solution than Chuck Moore's A register but solving the same problem.
Why does every comment in China result in whataboutism?
Thanks! great advice
You cripple your argument with your own. The US can't return to a 2500 year old structure; it's not old enough to have that history.

Which is a strength. China has further to fall than the US. That old history is still history. The US would cobble together into something more reminiscent of something later into history by virtue of a shorter memory span...whether or not that is beneficial in this hypothetical future is a different question.
Pretty sure it's the seeding, not downloading, that helps. :)
> Why include the word "women" at all, though?

Because that description was specifically to highlight how different his then-girlfriend was from them.

> Replace it with "jews" or "gays" and see how it reads.

"Most gays in the Bay Area are lame, but my current boyfriend is great." - seems fine?
Great insights especially the last one, some of the smartest investors we spoke to saw the end game being we can offer special perks for customers like an amazon prime like program. It’s interesting and I wonder why the traditional conglomerates like P&G don’t do it; probably because they don’t have a direct relationship with the customers? On the PE job post yes for MBA interns were were looking for folks who have the skills to find and evaluate potential acquisitions
It's the western media... They spent several hours talking about another rocket launched by SpaceX as if it was a big scientific advancement. But a major advancement by China is gonna be a little notice, or maybe they will say how this is a danger for everyone.
The intention usually isn't obvious. The stakeholders have spent so much time documenting, in depth, the solution that they want, while spending no real time documenting or communicating the specifics intricacies of the -problem-.

That's the issue in a nutshell; Checkbox Driven Development implies "if we just define the solution well enough upfront, we'll get what we need!" instead of "if we define the problem well enough, and let dev pitch us solutions, and iterate as we go, we'll get what we need". Which implies that the devs are not to be trusted to come up with a solution themselves.

To deviate from expectations and be congratulated, you have to, A. Be certain you're doing the right thing, and B. Have an audience that can recognize you did the right thing. Both of those require a level of trust that is just missing in this sort of org.
>"It's one sin to steal"

Every successful country at some point stole / conquered / forcefully took from others to achieve prosperity. Look at UK for example. They've raped half of the world. Then they were crying a river when the US stole from them. Now they are telling other countries not to do what they have done. Those other countries might listen when they will have "stolen" enough to be well on their own.
Congratulations to China, it is always great to see advancements in space exploration.
Plus you get a huuge bonus to quality of life. That said, I'm doing all those things already and since I really appreciate life, I am a big fan of any even remotely feasible life extension efforts.

Aging sucks, and is by no means a physical necessity. If it were up to me, we would be devoting to it at least as many resources as were devoted to COVID, indefinitely until it's fixed.
Of course "they" will, but that doesnt make encryption bad.

That statement arbitrarily frames the problem as a binary, which is misleading. Encryption is certainly more bad if terrorists use it to carry out violent attacks, than it would be if they did not.
As someone born after WW2, in Germany, I'm pretty glad that people back then didn't think like you. What's the point of defending democracy if there is nothing but a radioactive wasteland in which to set up free elections?
Best: Trust is a two way street. When people trust each other and build on top of what others have built magical things happen.

Worst: Giving the benefit of the doubt for more than a few times will inevitably end in a disaster if the person is beyond redemption. The easiest way to recognize somone who cannot be helped and their work cannot be salvage is to look for persons that don't accept help and act like their work is perfection.
India and NASA went through concerted PR efforts in the lead up to the orbital insertion and landing respectively.

In this case it was known that the rover would be on Mars sometime in "mid-May" -- and now suddenly it's here. No globally oriented, in-the-moment PR. You can't fault anyone for it not being as immediately recognized and discussed as the other two.
One basic complaint I have about TikTok is their lack of transparency with bans. TikTok recently banned Amala Ekpunobi (https://thefederalist.com/2021/04/26/tiktok-blacklists-gen-z...) and no reason was given. The same thing happened to PragerU’s account not long ago. I know PragerU has a bad reputation and is hated by the political left, but the majority of their videos are reasonable and fully sourced - I just don’t think they deserve that kind of ban.

Ultimately I don’t like massive tech platforms controlling what information can and can’t reach the rest of society. At their scale, they have the power to propagandize by suppressing and amplifying select information, and they can’t be trusted with it.
I no longer believe in aging, it just doesn't make any sense. It's heavy metals. NOT their presence but the fact that they were depleted. Fossils consistently show concentrations that would be considered extreme by current health standards. Many tried to correctly fix aging with heavy metals, but cadmium was unknown to them.
> The idea that California could become an economic wasteland is absolutely preposterous.

At one time people would have said the same about the Rust Belt.

Times change.
ARM has been around for decades now (and ARMv8 for one decade). Anyway, if nobody jumps to new architectures, how will anything get ported?
You're thinking about it wrong. It's not 1 app on iOS for every 1.5 apps on Android. For any given app in a competitive space, there are probably twenty choices on iOS and thirty choices on Android.

It's fair to say that three choices is better than two, but every additional choice will have diminishing returns. And at some point, the chances of an additional choice having any novel appraoach or distinctive features approaches zero.
Hell is other people.

Heaven is other people.
Well, Sapio seems pretty cool. Composable scripts is definitely something we need in Bitcoin.

So basically, the idea of non-interactive channel creation sounds basically like a way for someone to lock in their payment to someone without interacting with them. I suppose I can see the usefulness in that in certain situations. Especially situations where someone that you can interact with does care that you've paid the person who can't interact at the moment.
