You’re assuming a lot here and utilizing an outdated view. Population growth is not necessary when you’re primarily an export-focused country such as South Korea. And more specifically when your biggest trading partner is none other than China.
Irrelevant in this context.
I think it won't really make sense until you try the alternatives. I've used react since it's inception, vue, ember, angular (going back all the way to angular 1), knockout, etc etc etc.

All these frameworks try to solve what you're mentioning in different ways.

Obviously people have different opinions, but after seeing the way things are done from all these different frameworks, Vue is extremely "clean" and minimal feeling, while remaining extremely flexible. I have built multiple very complicated apps and there's nothing that I'm not absolutely DELIGHTED how it's solved, especially with the new composition API. It feels extremely elegant compared to the other ones I've mentioned.

Perhaps consider the alternatives, and you most certainly will have a much worse development experience if you're not willing to play ball with 2-way data binding (ie use html attributes to bind things, etc). As I said, other frameworks have tried other methods to minimize attribute use and they're excruciating to use. Ember is literally one of the most painful frameworks I've ever used to do even the most simple of things.
Can't edit my original reply anymore, but fair point, I've changed the keyword 'function' in the AST to a function return type instead. There's no error handling done yet to check whether the variable receiving the function return data matches the function return type, but it's on my todo list.

Then again in C it would work aswell if you type casted the types.

const char *f()
{
return (const char*)123;
}

int main()
{
int i = (int)f();
return 0;
}
I wonder if that feedback was about technical knowledge, or just the style he writes in. I would 100% characterize his style as “someone who thinks he’s smart”. I don’t mean that to be totally offensive, only a little bit.

The high tech/high income areas in the US are behaving a lot like this. There is a focus on getting into elite colleges and it propagates all the way down the system to preschool. As you alluded to, this makes it very expensive. People have maybe 2 and sometimes 1 kid… definitely below replacement level.

The one difference I have noticed is that some of those Asian countries are more extreme in that more people choose to not have kids and more people choose to have only one kid instead of two.

Definitely agree. Humanity becoming an ingrained part of that living brain would exemplify a giant step forward in evolution for us, and growth for the brain. A maturation.
But what is the output of this earth brain? Outwardly it appears, to us at least, that there is zero affect to observe and so we'd have to assume this brain is locked in or at least completely indecipherable to us.
> . It's true that mercantilism has been better for Chinese people than the IMF agenda for anyone else. So what?

But you wrote: "Not even China! (At least not Chinese people.)"

In one comment you say it didn't benefit the chinese people and then when you are called out, you say it did benefit them.

It's amazing how anti-china propagandists contradict themselves over and over again. You should go work for a news company.
This can be done with capability-based operating system, though it requires running the libraries you want to isolate in a separate process.

On a capability-based OS you whitelist the things a given process can do.
For instance, you can give a process the capability to read a given directory and write to a different directory, or give the capability to send http traffic to a specific URL. If you don't explicitly give those capabilities, the process can't do anything.

That's the curse of all long-running MMOs, though.

You have to have power inflation, for any of the common content models to work.

And you have to also provide a fast lane for new players, otherwise no one is going to join, only to be a decade behind where everyone else is now.

It's unfortunate because it screws existing players. But ultimately, that's only because they believe the myth that MMO stats / levels / gear actually have value.
I was going to say that I have a small, very limited amount of experience with MS Access. I agree; the middle ground between Excel and databases sounds very similar to Access.

We had been using Excel for org charts like most places. We wanted to add grouping, metadata, and neatly be able to extend/add information with or without constraints. This was much before I knew anything database related, and Access seemed to be more powerful than Excel. Having generated forms to fit the data model was much more user friendly and a lot less error prone than adding a new row to an Excel sheet.

People criticize Access for being a dumb database or a Excel with too much heavy lifting. It occupies a specific space as a DB on rails.

In my experience although lock files are widely used in Node development, utilizing the lock files as part of a reproducible build system is far less prevalent in the wild. In fact, the majority of Node development I've seen eschews reproducible builds on the basis that things are moving too fast for that anyway, as if it were somehow a DRY violation, but for CICD. Would love to hear from Node shops that have established well followed reproducible CICD.

I totally understand the annoyance with cult-like behavior in the tech industry...and even as a fan of Rust, I can't help but see how obnoxious the fandom can be.

But I would much rather that cults form around ideas like memory safety in low-level languages than things like Elon Musk or Apple...which is literally everywhere on HN. Almost any postitive headline about either makes the front page in like 10 seconds, and almost any negative headline gets flagged and dumped off the front page (and the same goes for comments in their respective threads). The teeny bopper-like obsession with Rust is relatively benign in comparison.

I generally don't walk around with my wallet any longer. Just a few cards and my phone. (Though I have it with me--along with other cards and cash if I'm traveling.)

That said, I don't really like a single electronic device being such a single point of failure. (And, to be honest I find taking out a card easier than Apple Pay most of the time.)
This argument doesn't make any sense. The more you couple to the underlying protocol, the harder it is to audit. Having a well-defined and predictable boundary between concerns in the system makes each component, and the system as a whole, easier to assess.

The yellow dust is commonly thought to come from China. It’s not good but isn’t an issue South Korea can address alone.
I actually think their current model works pretty well. You have a fast track to the current content but the current content has levels of difficulty that you can work on.
The sum-of-squares isn't a continuation, rather it just loops through the squared-ints generator up to the bound.

call/cc is used to allow some form control and allow the loop to exit

> Before the sum-of-square function does anything, I use call/cc to capture the continuation, and assign it to the variable break. Notice that in the syntax of Scheme, this is the last step of the function. Therefore, calling break will immediately exist the function with a returned value, no matter where it is called.
I don’t think this dismisses the cost and the strategic implications. The US/China rivalry was recognized even 10 years ago.

> South Korea’s rise to a middle power status comes without much historical baggage

The kingdom of Joseon was annexed entirely by Japan in 1905. Modern Korea (nevermind the North/South prefix) would not exist had the US not enter WWII. The 35-years under Japan is a major flashpoint in Japan-Korea relation, it's a joke that the thing that unites North and South is their common hatred of Japan. I'm surprised there's not a more nationalistic jingoistic attitude from South Korea, given their economic state today. Historians agree that the costly outcome of the Russo-Japanese war led to the rise of militaristic Japan and their entry into WWII.
Effectively, we're the same as gorillas and ants on the cosmic scale, so this is not a good analogy. Humans communicating with amoeba would be a better one. But even so, we're not establishing diplomatic embassies and trade agreements with ants and gorillas. People keep thinking that just because we study ants and gorillas, that means my argument is spurious.

Alien races that see us may find us intriguing, but Douglas Adams did explain this sort of stuff in fantastic ways, for example, when humanity missed the Dolphins' last message to Earth and interpreted it as a really neat triple somersault.

So, yes, maybe gorillas and ants and dolphins are trying to speak with us, but we're not trying to have those conversations. We're having the "Do you want a banana?" conversations.

What people think of when they think of UFOs is diplomatic relations between two cultures. And I am saying that, cosmically, we could no less have a diplomatic relationship between a human society and a cosmically traveling giant brain society than could a person establish diplomatic ties with an oyster. The frames of reference are simply not there to even communicate in a meaningful, cultural way beyond Pearls.

So, maybe I am wrong and the giant brains are reaching out and do want to talk to us, but maybe they speak with asteroids and quarks and we cannot even begin to understand what they want. We're too busy deciding which ant is the correct, one true ant to lead us all.
The brutal past exists in Europe as well. Portugal had a colonial war up to 1974 with records of mass executions in Africa. Franco's Spain had it's own dark history with mass graves still being uncovered. Franco' regime ended even later and the country still has staunch Franco supporters.
Do you not consider Salazar or Franco's regime up to par to South Korea? If not what is the criteria?

Also to answer the other comment, Russia has repeatedly toyed with the idea of a nuclear bombing to Warsaw as well as invading the baltic. The baltic states are more than within range for a ground invasion. Poland has a border with the Kaliningrad enclave as well. Now you might say, that Russia would not dare... Well ask any baltic state how scared shitless they were with how easy Russia imposed itself on Ukraine. I honestly do not see how Korea is in a much different scenario.

Post numbers on a good IPsec implementation? We have numbers for WireGuard. Of course, it's easy to do that because there's just a couple primary implementations, not 100 terrible ones like in IPsec. So, pick the best one.

We don't have to derive the answer to this question from first principles. It's an empirical question.
There is (or can be) some overlap between the two.

As an example, you may want to create a kernel module that can be configured through the device tree (e.g. binds to an arbitrary SPI/I2C bus, requires hardware-specific config). You can add a node for your module to the device tree and assign it a "compatible" property, which is just an arbitrary string you define to represent your module. If you then make your module export the same string using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro, the kernel will figure out that your module is the one that implements that node in the device tree, and it will call your module's probe callback to initialize the module, passing in the context from the device tree node (e.g. you can get a reference to the SPI/I2C bus hosting your device).

As I understand it, this is the standard way to implement drivers for devices that sit on buses that don't support automatic detection (e.g. not PCIe / USB).
> Are guns causing more harm than good?

Guns have a propensity to do a lot of good, if they were sanely regulated they could easily do more good than harm.

>Is religion causing more harm than good?

Hard to say, religion does a lot of good. Keeping people scared of god is an incredibly strong motivator for many, and most of what religion prescribes is good. I wouldn't mind taxing religion, but it's unconstitutional.

>Is social media causing more harm than good?

I think the answer here is clearly no. Yes, social media causes harm, but it causes much more joy.

>The Dollar

I understand that you're joking here but the amount of good the dollar does so clearly surpasses the harm its illicit use cause that I don't find this very funny.

Anyway, no one is trying to ban cryptocurrency.
It is actually quite hard to raise the birth rate, Japan has been trying for years (see https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/Tokyo%E2%...). The real impediment is that it is now too costly to raise more than 1-2 children and also not enough time.

UN 2015 report on Japan's birth rate policy attempts:

To summarize, they've started policies and measures since 1992-1994 but UN reports and I quote: "Despite these efforts, Japan’s family policy so far appears to
have been largely ineffective."

Author here! My intention with "domain knowledge" point is mostly about all the non-coding stuff. Things like how your company functions, who to talk to about different issues, deep product knowledge and understanding the customers. I actually think transferrable skills grow as well, usually more on the technical side but also on the soft skills side in a generic way. I think the non-transferrable stuff is somewhat unavoidable because of the nature of products, domains, and organizations being meaningfully different.
I get that the Tuskegee study is a huge influence on vaccine hesitancy, but I think its impact is emotional, not rational.

If you look at the fact, the big controversy was that the study participants were given zero treatment, while their doctors were telling them at they were being treated. At the time the study began, this was barely reasonable, because there were some strong indication that syphilis treatments caused more harm than good and the doctors wanted to measure it.

Ten years later, when penicilin had been long confirmed to be effective against syphillis, this was beyond monstrous.

But still, I don't think this is a reasonable argument against vaccination. The black people in the experiments weren't being injected mystery substances. The core of the scandals is that they were given placebos without their consent. I don't see how one could reasonably look at this and say "Okay, I'm never going to accept a vaccine ever". You're basically forcing yourself into the same experiment the government put these people in.

That's the trouble with armchair legislation, no one bothers to read the text in full or understand the rules of the game. Most legislation has a dictionary to define the terms use within.

I love Backblaze for their drive stats posts, but has anyone else run into multiple annoyances with their main services?

FWIW I am a mostly-happy customer for multiple years, and I always seem to be able to find files that I am looking for in my backups.

However, I've run into the following issues on _multiple Windows PCs_:

- `bzfilelist.exe` takes up 100% disk constantly on my SSD. I have to kill it anytime I want to do anything remotely disk-intensive (such as running a game or editing video). Not sure if this is a workaround to avoid having to watch the filesystem, but it is an annoyance. Changing the process priority can help in some cases, but usually I have to kill it to get acceptable performance in other applications. Also not sure if this is good for the SSD's health.

- Certain folders are hardcoded to be excluded. Standard folders such as `C:/Windows` make sense, but it also hardcodes excluding _all of program files_. This means that Steam game files are not automatically backed up (yes, this is not an ideal spot for Steam to store files, but it's how it has done it for a long, long time). I had to hack together a powershell script that periodically copies my files to another drive so they can be backed up by Backblaze. "Automatic backups" eh?

- Despite the above, it _does_ automatically back up Chrome's temporary files, which means a ton of churn as I browse throughout the day. I can manually exclude a path, but if they're going to be draconian about hardcoding paths to not back up, why not hardcode Chrome's app data too?

In addition, I have played around with their B2 service, an "S3-compatible" offering, and run into issues there as well:

- The S3-compatible hosting is not at parity with S3. There is no index.html autodetection, so I had to hack together an nginx proxy to assume `index.html` files at directories.

- The S3-compatible web hosting is extremely slow. It's a common pattern to want to host a periodically-updated static site out of an S3 bucket, but I have found the speed to be insufficient for even basic HTML in B2.

- I was unable to get their provided tooling for backing up local files to B2 working on a local Raspberry Pi. I ended up rsyncing to a different service.

Am I the only one with these problems?
Is that your absurdly simple configuration? Can I assume the contents of that web page are where you rest your case on WireGuard's `wg.conf` vs. IPsec?
