I’d guess it’d be similar to how some European cities prohibit all large retailers (including food stores) from opening on Sunday, except a hell of a lot more expensive.

You’d need extra shifts on site, redundant local networks for emergency services, redundant links for phone companies, extra space in ports and warehouses, special contingency plans, etc. And all of that gets excercised 1/30 less often than usual so is more prone to failure—in a situation of where communication is degraded in the first place.

An ISOC report on government Internet shutdowns (https://www.internetsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/I...) says Zimbabwe lost 5.7 million, or 10% daily GDP, per day during a sudden six-day shutdown.

A regular shutdown would be more workable, but given the countries you’re interested in are probably more Internet-dependent than Zimbabwe something on the order of 0.1% GDP when averaged over a month still sounds plausible. For scale, the US federal government spends 1.2% GDP on education.
Where in there did Turing prove computation can "exactly reproduce the behavior to...(any physical system)"? Because we humans seem to be able to describe and write down the behavior of any physical system? I'm not sure that jump is airtight.

I'm not sure we can say this part even though we might believe it to be true. I mean maybe now we can since we have no deeper theories than quantum field theories, and we can posit all of physical reality reduces to QFTs and GR and simulate all of QFT computationally either with quantum computers (in real time) or classical (not in real time + need a random number generator). But the we'd still have computational limits by which observables we can measure and how big of computations we can run (think size of computer limited by black hole density for one crude example - although I guess a blackhole could be used as a quantum computer. So then I'd say the speed of light is the other main limit, we've already lost the information to run certain calculations to the depths of space).

And to focus back in on the random number generator requirement for classical to simulate quantum...nothing fundamentally random can be simulated classically in principle. Yet randomness is needed to describe the most basic layer of reality. I can't get true randomness from classical no matter what.

W3C Promotes Web Audio API to Official Standard
Hating weeds isn't the problem so much as using grass as the foundational goal.
I've got two kids and I've been listening to, and reading, variations on this opinion since the first one popped out.

"Parents these days are too protective."
"Don't be a helicopter parent."
"When I was a kid, we didn't even have car seats or seat belts, and my folks didn't even look at my injuries unless they were gushing blood."

After eight years I've decided this is another load of Baby Boomer nostalgia, only this time it's Gen-X and Millennials joining in.

My theory is two part:

First: this is Baby Boomers finding any way they can to call anyone younger than them lazy and coddled, without any sense of irony that we are the way they raised us. And if you are a Gen-X or Millennial and have bought into this way of thinking: congratulations, you've been gaslit by the grand master gaslighters: Baby Boomers.

Second: this is your brain playing tricks on you.

The memories you have from around ages 6-11 are the golden age of your childhood. In your memory, they went on forever. Before 6 the memories are fewer and more scattered. The vast swaths of boring time you spent supervised in school, supervised in after-school care, supervised at home playing, mostly didn't stick around. But as you aged, you were given incrementally more freedom, and that novelty made the experiences feel amazing at first and so they stuck around as memories.

But, your sense of time is warped. Your brain, lying, tells you that because you have a memory of riding your bike around the neighborhood (or into town), that was obviously what you were allowed to do "when you were a kid" in general.

I'm not saying there hasn't been some shift. I won't let my 4 year old ride around the neighborhood unsupervised; perhaps my parents might have let me, but I kinda doubt it, and I don't trust their memories from the 80s any better than my own.

Epilogue:

* I'm not saying there aren't some overprotective parents who take it to extremes. I just promise you those people also existed back in the day.

* Your parents did the best they could.

* You are doing the best you can.

* Your fellow parents who are doing it differently than you -- more protective or less protective or just differently protective of their kids -- they're also just doing the best they can.
A really nice article. I am a teacher now, too, and I would add this to his notion of giving a problem before a solution. I teach English, and I have learned that giving students definitions to every word I am going to use is not as beneficial is giving them the sense of what I am trying to say and letting their minds figure out the meaning. This is obviously more frustrating for some students, but when you understand the general meaning of a something you hear, I really believe your mind starts to work a lot harder than if you are spoon fed things, which is a lot more beneficial to learning in the long run.

Highly recommend listening to Jazz in spatial. There's such nice separation between the instruments. With the head tracking in iOS 15 you can isolate stuff a little too by turning your ear towards certain sounds (a little gimmicky I'll admit but but it does let you experience parts of the track you may have missed before).
As other commenters have mentioned, in fact it has functionality specific for this purpose. That is part of the underlying reason for my question: it often feels like the people pushing for graphql adoption are not aware what http is capable of out of the box.

My favorite Git client by far is https://github.com/FredrikNoren/ungit. Its approach of modeling the entire commit history as a digraph is the way God (or at least Linus) intended Git to be used.

Visualizing commits like that makes more interesting operations (e.g. cherry-picking, merging, rebasing, squashing) trivial to understand.

Cherry picking and then overgeneralization are the two poisonous pills that are been fed to westerners about China.

Western media pick all the authoritarian measures CCP did or is doing and blow them up and make them all about China.

They ignored many things Chinese government (here most westerners or media couldn't tell the difference between Chinese administrative government and CCP and thought they were the same thing), and Chinese people did right in the past decades.

I often say China today has been built on three things:

1. Equality between men and women. China did very well in this. There are lots of problems still obviously but in general women in China are quite equal to men. China has the most self-made female billionaires, maybe more than the rest of the world's combined.

2. Unleashed entrepreneurship. No need to say much about it here.

3. A very solid education system together with Han Chinese tradition of valuing education. Nine years of free and compulsory education for the entire nation before high school and many options for next level education.
43 points but zero comments at the time of writing this comment.

Somewhere deep in our harts, we all have a deep appreciation for Smalltalk and its legacy in programming language design, it's just that no one is actually interested to use it anymore. It's gone, it's part of the history, never to come back. People just upvote an article about it and proceed with the life.

Same can be said for (Common) Lisp, which still live its half-life in form of Clojure, but is far away from the mainstream.
Thanks Michael, we just fixed it! In a few min it'll be deployed.
Counter argument: removing languages from OSX is good, because built in languages are the source of a lot of friction in development. The installed version necessarily lags behind what most developers want, and having a tool chain completely separate from whatever manager you’ve installed really sucks.

For end users, the interpreter can be bundled with the application, that is much more stable for everyone.
You're of course correct that mentioning so-called "race" as a legitimate category at all is extremely divisive outside of a very U.S.-centric and very intellectually-niche discourse, but there's also a sensible norm against injecting any kind of politics in quasi-professional contexts where people should be able to cooperate seamlessly across political, cultural, and intellectual divides.

These tiresome and uninteresting remarks about U.S.-centric political causes, no matter how worthwhile these causes may be on their own terms, stand out as an eminently avoidable reminder of uncomfortable social conflict.
I think "start the thing" here refers to things you might not want to do right now -- like your job, for example.

I don't think they were talking about your hobbies.
There are important nuances that make Apple's decision less radical, and make the author's decision more radical than what the average Westerner and young Chinese will perceive, whose notion of language and society is greatly influenced by European linguistic nationalism.

For example, observe that top-level commenter gaudat is writing in a romanization that is not Jyutping, which the author proposes. The romanizations that the author proposes are really good except for where it matters regarding common usage: it is primarily used by linguists, and most non-Mandarin communities don't have one dominant consistent romanization that everybody understands or learns in school. But everyone learns Mandarin and Pinyin in school in HK and Taiwan.

Most written Cantonese input use some form of stroke order or radical input.

Hence in terms of user-friendliness, the approach that Apple goes with is actually optimal, to the detriment to those with linguistic-nationalist agendas.

Modern Chinese may think that governments are trying to destroy culture by not standardizing written Chinese languages and romanizations and teaching them in a curriculum. But it is more negligence, and a lack of will to pursue a linguistic-nationalist goal than active destruction since it never existed. Rather it is mainland China pursuing (Western) communist ideals that brought writing vernacular Mandarin from a completely low-brow affair to something worthy of educated attention.

It is important to note that the prestige of Mandarin pronunciation pre-dates the CCP and even written Mandarin: it is the spoken language of the Central Plains and was the spoken language of the imperial bureaucracy. It was what anyone who sought advancement in the imperial bureaucracy needed to learn to speak.
> I worry about a future where VR is monopolized by Facebook and held there by network effect

That's why it's awesome that Valve is so heavily invested in VR to counter that. They might not have more money than Facebook, but they have more than enough to compete with them. Plus, they have the expertise in video games that Facebook doesn't.

It's just a shame that Valve is by all accounts a highly dysfunctional company.
It gets a ton of press in the United States. Mars mission, manned launches, and other achievements have been featured prominently by the national broadcasters, the New York Times, and Internet outlets. A few years back there was a movie in which a Chinese space station was featured (based on a Russian template, which figured into the story).

What these reports don't have are details. And that's not surprising, because the Chinese government doesn't share many details about its space program, or give any access to media outside of China.
Why is "dev team" in quotes? Seems like an odd thing to get pedantic about.

We have a BYOD policy, and several members of my team opted to get the new M1. They were junior devs who didn't know better not be early adopters. I agree that it was a huge waste of time, and Docker was a major contributor to that.

Your analogy about starters doesn't really make sense. We aren't the driver, we are the mechanic, and we should know how the engine works in its entirety. Managing a local environment is a skill set, and frankly it is a skill set that many developers lack.

You can keep using docker if you want, I don't really give a shit. Its dead end tech that will be replaced in a few years by some new startup, while the *NIX systems using it will still be there and the developers reliant on docker will have to learn a new ephemeral skill set.
That sounds significantly slower than PyPy on average, which would hardly make it "the best python compiler". YMMV, of course.
A lot of the comments are focused on the headset subsidizing but it seems most people overlook the drawback of this: it kills competition.

Now you are either a FAANG company capable of monetizing your users to the extent FB can, or you can't even start thinking of entering the standalone headset market with a price tag twice of FB.
This is very bad for VR in my opinion.
I think it's a timeframe thing, too. 2G data network rollouts were 20-ish years ago, and infrastructure and handsets were expensive, so less extensive deployment in the developing world. Shifting those deployments forward by 5 years puts you into 3G timeframe.
Point is it used to be better.

Same with Google.

Today there has been multiple breakthroughs in a number of relevant fields but yet we see quality declining in obvious ways.

I understand that sometimes one needs to take a step back to take two forwarded, but in Googles case they are now in their tenth year after taking 5 steps back and at some point the new solution has to prove itself.

Sadly I guess the old solution is "lost to time", that noone is able to replicate it anymore. It is the only explanation I have why it hasn't been reverted.
Open wifi networks for configuration used to be a pretty good solution, but have become less useful since the advent of phones automatically failing over to their mobile connection if the local network can’t route traffic to the internet.

„Just“ as in: I‘m still trying to figure this stuff out as a lifelong procrastinator but other ingredients than momentum conservation which was also huge for me were self-acceptance, self-forgiveness and especially „Tiny Habits“ (the book)

Establishing triggers in my life that put me back on track in autopilot mode were some of the largest game changers for me.

The biggest one being that I now have a 10 step go-to-bed routine that sets my next-morning-self up for a great mood and start into the day.

Plus, it‘s a gentle, daily reminder of caring and being gentle to myself.
How to protect your privacy on Linux
Tangentially related: the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter is a computer science classic that deals with incompleteness among other things (mostly self-references in formal systems) in a fun way.
See, this is kind of the opposite situation, because you can bother to install a good Python that suits your needs. I’d just like a Python for the times I am at my mom’s computer and need to write a quick script, and I don’t want to install anything just for that. For conflicts: I wish Apple let you uninstall the “system” versions. But I still would like to keep them.
Yes, but as long as a cached version is still returned at the edge (while the real content might have changed), the ETag won't help.
It can only save you from unnecessarily downloading content you already have - in case it didn't change.
Totally see the rationale for annexing this profit pool (offline / card-present transactions)....but this doesn't feel to me like it is aligned with "increasing the GDP of the internet" -- unless I am missing something. And I'd love to be missing something, because thinking about Stripe and their strategy is very fun.
Since you didn't list anything specifically, what do you find beneficial about developing on a cloud VM? And what is your setup?

I read the parent as a comment on the article that discusses the machinery that allows reordering of potentially aliasing operations.

If that's not the case, I'm not sure how their comment is relevant.

I'll also just note that Intel actually slightly strengthened the documented MM in recent year from Processor Ordering to Total Store Order which formally forbids IRIW that never happened in practice.
Wow, how much would it cost to prep and send one of these fake Ledgers? This takes a lot more up front investment than a 419 email scam.
Ah yes, the evergreen complaint in Indian politics. No matter how bad the current government is, it’s supporters will claim the alternative is worse. Even when tens of thousands of people were dying because of COVID, people like this would say “abe librandu (hey libtard), if not Modiji then who?”

Such people missed the obvious answer - the other side might not be perfect but anyone is better than someone who boasted about hosting the largest crowds he had ever seen … during a pandemic.
It is common across lots of Europe for most or all shops to be closed on Sundays.

The local population don't view that as odd or inconvenient - simply as 'the way things are'.

As a visitor though, it means you need to plan ahead at least 24 hours - if you haven't bought food for sunday by midday saturday, there's a good chance you're going hungry.

I would be very interested to know the macroeconomic impact of such a policy. Presumably labor running shops is reduced, but overall sales volume is not, which could outweigh the economic cost of inconvenience for the whole population...
Afaik only in Arkansas have Republicans seen the light and are actually supporting municipal broadband (https://www.govtech.com/policy/arkansas-opens-the-door-for-m...). I wonder what made them come to that conclusion, it would be interesting to see if that can be replicated elsewhere.

Everywhere else, Republicans are trying to shut muni broadband out. They are colluding with the legacy ISP monopolies to keep speeds low and costs high.

I find this surprising because they don't seem to consider the long term economic damage this will do to their states. Who is going to want to move there to work remotely if the internet is expensive and slow?

Well you have automatically gone for a SPA app architecture, without giving any reason why. Looks like your problem is practising resume driven development. CRUD apps do not require SPA architecture.

Have a look at the Django tutorial, and see what you can produce with the Admin interface. It is a while lot less pain that what you are doing just now.
They went to all the trouble of shrink-wrapping the box and printing the Ledger logo on the shipping plastic bag.

Text generally needs to be formatted somehow, after all it does represent data. So how do you format the text? You can use newline-deliminated values, if your data is simple enough. This is great for things like iterating over a set of files, as each file is just a path separated by a newline.

What about more complicated data though? Maybe you format the text as json? You can still use text-parsing tools like grep with it, but you can also use more specific text processing tools like JQ.

"Just text" is actually pretty complicated, a CSV and a JSON file are both "just text". You've got to have some structure somewhere, even if only by convention.
I take advantage of I/O being parallel in Python in my mazzle continuous integration pipeline tool. I'm not sharing mutable state.

I spin up a graph of python Threads and each joins others in a graph. This way we can run graphs in parallel. See this graph - the parts that look like this:

dependency -> {parallel1; parallel2; parallel3} -> postparallel

parallel1, parallel2, parallel3 can run in parallel in a separate python thread because the IO is parallel.

postparallel joins parallel1, parallel2, parallel3 and waits for them all to complete.

Where parallel1-3 is things like ansible, packer (slow), AMI builds, chef runs etc.

Universe is open ended.
Knowledge is open ended.
Void is open ended.
Math is open ended.
Physics is open ended.
Atomic physics is open ended.

It is not just with the universe its a common pattern. (side note- Some smart lad will reply back your brain is open ended)

and few others will come with simulation theory. Which is also true.

Coming to the real question, whats the point of knowing all these ?

These are all the moves by an intellect addict.

If these arent' true then what is ? Have fun with friends, take care of family. That's all.

These knowledge would't pay your bills, well off course, you can create a gimmic tech toy and get some business running and get someone employed.

Just educate yourself that will pay for your bread and butter.

In other words, ones who escape from reality (friends and families), are the ones who experience reality ticking. :D Atleast a good conclusion.
Congratulations, I wish them success. Hopefully this spurs on everyone else and we can get a second space race. I think it is important we become a multi planet species as a long term survival strategy.
I don't think they ever put out a formal statement (I'd love to be corrected on this). What I do remember is Palmer Luckey saying that, but then, it's really on the Oculus community to have believed the words of a 22 year old about to make millions.
