A couple of points. Not to turn this into a discussion about advantages of one system vs another, but here is why China has a leg up:

1. What the United States has is not Capitalism - it's a badly broken Capitalism. The power of healthy oversight and regulation has been decimated by shocking amounts of money which, now, thanks to the same corrupted system, is mostly "dark". We are not exactly in an oligarchy, but we are very close.

2. You can think of China as a team. They still, as a whole, unite around their national and strategic interests, as a nation. We, on the other hand, wonder about which country owns this or that particular Congressperson, and wearing a mask as a health measure for the greater good of the country is bloody murder.

How is this going to work?
My bad, I didn't really explain that part.

In practice, when we receive a GUI event, we then modify something in our surrounding environment, usually some model, controller, or other view. To interact with any of those in Rust, we need to refer to it by some sort of ID.

This is the same ID you're referring to, which objects get when they're instantiated, at least for views (models and controllers likely do something similar).

My central question is: why would we want to serialize those IDs?

Also, WYSWYG might not be the best example, as it's a GUI that produces another GUI, hence some confusion. If you think about this in terms of a simple app that maintains a Customer database, you'll see what I mean; we wouldn't ever want to serialize a button click event there, especially since the hydrated IDs aren't stable and we don't know what they refer to unless we serialize the entire app UI state.
The likely consequence of which will be even more laws like Florida Statutes §119.071(4)(d)(2):

"2.a The home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and photographs of active or former sworn law enforcement personnel or of active or former civilian personnel employed by a law enforcement agency, including correctional and correctional probation officers, personnel of the Department of Children and Families whose duties include the investigation of abuse, neglect, exploitation, fraud, theft, or other criminal activities, personnel of the Department of Health whose duties are to support the investigation of child abuse or neglect, and personnel of the Department of Revenue or local governments whose responsibilities include revenue collection and enforcement or child support enforcement; the names, home addresses, telephone numbers, photographs, dates of birth, and places of employment of the spouses and children of such personnel; and the names and locations of schools and day care facilities attended by the children of such personnel are exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution."
There is a persistent myth that floating point is non-deterministic and therefore cannot be used for "lockstep" multiplayer games.

This may have been true in the 90s because of buggy C compilers, but has long not been the case.

you can use 32 bit or 64 bit floating point and your code will be completely determistic across all modern CPUs and operating systems and even across most programming languages.

The only thing you need to avoid are trig functions (sin, cos) since different platforms have different implementations. so you use your own implementation for these functions(for games you can an approximation which will be even faster than the library implementation). many platforms have an identical sqrt function, but this should be thoroughly tested.

Also if you are running on an intel CPU on 32 bit OS (rare nowadays) you need to call a function at the start of your program to disable 80 bit extended fp.
There are quite many good alternatives to Google and having them in your tool belt will help you to find lots of interesting sources.

Some ideas where to look – some of these are methods that I use myself quite frequently:

• Reddit’s search function – even more useful if you know a good subreddit relevant to the topic at hand. Subreddits are easy to find if you google for ⟬topic subreddit⟭

• Google Books. Lots of high-quality material there.

• Archives of digitized newspapers. Lots of high-quality material there as well. Which archive to use depends on your language and locale. Here’s one example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28140621

• Internet Archive. Their collections include many good scanned books, technical manuals, etc. ⟬site:archive.org *keyword⟭ works well.

• Twitter’s search function can sometimes yield links to good articles, blog posts etc. It depends on the topic, but there are lots of nerds on Twitter discussing the topics close to their hearts.

• Old–school web forums. Those still exists and many of them are searchable. (Can’t think of any specific forums that are in English, but there ought to be some good ones still out there.)

• “Trade rags” (i.e. a newspaper or other publication that covers a particular industry). Many of those are not paywalled. Can possibly be found by using the methods listed above.

Best of luck!
Western businesses will never care. They don't care that the chinese destroy the planet. They don't care that the chinese manipulate the quality of the products they manufacture on their behalf. They don't care that the chinese sell counterfeits at huge markups in markets developed countries couldn't care less about.

The only thing they care about is money. They'll never stop doing business with China until it stops making them money.
Even worse, the effects that you mention (garbage collection, etc.) are morally equivalent to an increase in utilization, which pushes you towards the latency singularity that the article is talking about.

As an oversimplified example, suppose that your system is 10% utilized and that $BAD_THING (gc, or whatever) happens that effectively slows down the system by a factor of 10 at least temporarily. Your latency does not go up by 10x---it grows unbounded because now your effective utilization is 100%.
You can even convert TOTP from 2FA into 1.5ish FA by using a password manager that stores the TOTP secret and generates the TOTP key from it.
> China's top court and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Thursday published guidelines and examples on what constituted as overtime work

(Emphasis mine)

See also this line from the state media The Global Times: (https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202108/1232602.shtml)

> The Supreme People's Court (SPC) of China and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently jointly released a guideline illustrating 10 typical cases of overtime work, stipulating that the "996" overtime work policy is illegal

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is also saying the policy is illegal. The title of the Reuters article is perfectly correct.
I mean, they seem to win by simply throwing bodies on the pyre, working their own citizens to suicide in order to provide cheap labor to the rest of the world until they get valuable IP and steal it.

Capitalism thrives on cheap labor and cannot stop itself from being lead like a lamb to slaughter as long as China keeps pumping out all of those man hours of labor for the taking.
We're a bit overdue for a labor uprising.

Fingers crossed the mass evictions heading our way leaves enough people hungry and desperate enough to fight for their future.
I honestly don't understand why diversity is advertised as best thing ever for every company. It's like once there is mathematically perfect division of people from each different culture and background some magical shangri-la is achieved and we all sing songs and live ever after happily. What if you just want a dude bro themed company?
Democracy, and society in general, is messy. It certainly isn't binary.

When legal protest doesn't work, it's sometimes necessary to resort to civil disobedience. That's messy and gray.
We've been down this road with the Soviet Union during portions of the cold war, when folks in the West thought that high Soviet GDP catch-up growth would translate into sustained non-catch-up growth and meant non-authoritarian governments were doomed. It didn't work out that way.

Democracy isn't assured, we could easily vote it away in the West. But there is definitely a pattern whereby enormous cutting-edge economic growth seems to require relatively free societies. To make a long term bet on an authoritarian approach in a world where those societies exist, that seems like a very risky thing to do.
Elm seems stagnant because Evan is not so transparent and prefer work in a private branch and to release work in batches instead of having a release every 6 months, this makes people think it is dead. Elm is still being used in production by dozens of companies with huge codebases (100k~400kloc), and the community is very active, there are amazing projects like elm-pages, elm-review, elm-ui (from mdgriffith), elm-spa, elm-charts, lamdera and others.
Is this just a complaint about a lack of good tooling for SQL code? User-configurable columns are probably always going to be implemented as an array of columns that gets built at runtime and then sent to whatever database management system you're using. In any programming language and database system, isn't the only thing automatically preventing you from building a malformed array of columns at runtime some sort of type-checking or linting? It seems to be that this mistake is just as easy to make using an ORM or data access library without type-checking or linting.
Short term weaknesses can make long term advantages irrelevant. Actually it's the primary force that shapes history.
It was devastating, but was less than the Allies estimated before launching. The actual deaths on the day were less than it was feared the airborne alone would suffer, and utterly dwarfed by those from the battle of Normandy as a whole.

A lot of the problems were also not universal to the landings, with Omaha and Juno taking far more casualties than the other 3 beaches combined.

At this point I consider it job security that Rpi users can't look beyond their $10 kit boards.
> how could anyone have known whether or not iraq had or was about to have WMDs

Powell, on behalf of the U.S. government, said they were certain, and was wrong. I guess one could wonder if it was on purpose or not, but credibility is damaged either way.
I've seen movies where the bad guy says something like that just to get the good guy to turn around long enough for him to pull out a gun and shoot him.

It's a shit job. You can get hurt for close to minimum wage and get prison time if you hurt someone. Just play it safe and report everything to the police afterwards.
Games as an entire concept use these tricks. mobile games aren't fundamentally different. The difference is that there was always a spending ceiling until mobile came along. Even if that spending celing was still something absurd in a few cases, like $2000 of train simulator DLC.

Regardless, people spending this much money are likely old enough to choose to gamble (or stealing their money, which is a different issue altogether). So I'm as concerned for them as any other gambler/alcoholic. Wish them the best but I don't care to bring the government in and regulate everyone's behaviors (My country historically tried and failed with alcohol. And is slowly losing similar efforts with drugs).

I'd be careful to imply blame on a single state, when it is a large part of the population that relies on the output. There are certainly ways to target water waste in agriculture, but the whole nation has a stake in successful water management.

> Upvoted but how could anyone have known whether or not iraq had or was about to have WMDs if they actively resisted and subverted all of the internationally sanctioned inspections? Perhaps they could have attached some probability to each possibility but I have yet to find good evidence that they knew.

At the time, an awful lot of current and past weapons inspectors who'd worked in Iraq, including US nationals, said US claims were complete bullshit.

[EDIT] Oh and then there's how they relaxed their resistance to inspections in the face of imminent invasion, such that we'd have been able to uncover anything they'd somehow managed to hide, but disarming them was never the point, invasion was, so we withdrew the inspectors and invaded anyway. If anyone had any doubts left, that should have erased them.
I personally would want factor 10 margin here. First I would assume that it is a distribution and if you are unlucky it still could be 10 years for a small quantile. If you think like this you will easily gets hundreds of those chemicals in your environment, so you will want that quantile to be really tiny. Additional I would assume that in reality even not all toxicity is independent. So effects might even add up. So better be safe than sorry.

Also regulation is a driver for innovation. Without pressure, you will less likely get better products. It is better if companies put their dollars in research rather than lobbying.
The complexity of software has gone way up. Nowadays, your run-of-the-mill internal corporate web app with maximum of 2 concurrent users (on a good day) may be written in Angular or React, deployed on Kubernetes, built with Bazel and have backend done in haskelesque Scala (this describes my current job). All these technologies are very complex and require a lot of time to learn them well. Unfortunately, we cannot just hire any programmer and expect him to perform well on our team - the required catch up could easily take a year or more. Hence, we're looking for hyperspecialists who can "hit the ground running", and there's few of them.

No it's not! Most people using Wix have no idea they will ever NEED to export their data. Call it user ignorance.
I wish the author can learn some Chinese before writing this article. And the related Chinese news was already there last year.

The thing is the pure ARM internal political conflicts.

ARM China CEO WU, a US citizen, claimed that he reported few high-level managers' corruptions and then he got fired by the ARM Softbank. ARM Softbank united with all board directors, including all Chinese investors, to fire Wu.

But when Wu franchised ARM China, he signed a voting agreement with large shareholders to make sure he can not be fired for no reasons. So he claimed the board voting was illegal and Chinese shareholder violated the voting agreement. So even Chinese shareholders want him gone, but he refused to leave.
Everybody who designs their self-driving bus to err on the side of caution.

Such buses will stop too often. If you don’t allow a human to tell the bus that it can continue (not a “run over people” button, but a “trust me, it’s safe to continue” button), it may never continue.

Advantage over a bus that drives more aggressively is that this doesn’t require the human operator to continuously pay attention.
Plus the highly educated skilled workers who run those companies will probably find a ton of countries welcoming them with open arms.
I grew up in Boston and actually did some sailing on the river as a kid - we coasted around in Sunfishes for the most part. Unlike literally every other sailing instruction course I ever took there was no forced capsizing tutorial to learn how to uncapisize a Sunfish - mostly because nobody's parents would ever sign onto a waiver that said "Oh btw, we're going to briefly dunk your kid into the Charles".

I love the Charles River and spent a lot of time growing up around it in Cambridge and city-side on the Esplanade. I've got great memories from both Pops and pop concerts in the Hatch Shell - but yea, no where in those memories is anything about voluntarily going into the river - avoiding even dipping a toe into that was ingrained into us at a young age.
Something I really love about thinkpads is that they have that big blue "thinkvantage" button at the top of the keyboard, which is totally tacky 99% of the time, but! when you want to get to firmware configuration, you know what button to hit.

Rod of god into 3GD for a start.
This would be great.

My mother had Fronto-temporal dementia, and her father (my grandfather) had Alzheimers. So after she passed for it, the fact I might get it has been heavily weighing on my mind. I've looked for various things to "test" myself, and notice things about me that might be nothing but also might be something. To be able to get a risk factor would at least either let me worry less, or have an answer that it is in a percent of likelihood.
You can steal your way to the top.

It worked for the greeks. It worked for the mongols. Arguably it worked for the spanish and british.

I dont see the free market holding back authoritarian takeovers. At some point the west will wake up but when they do, is it too late?
Were any of the individual Pullman marches larger than the Blair Mountain one?

Since you would expect the Smithsonian to have a good grasp of history, a charitable reading would imagine a reason that they would say "largest" even though they could certainly do the math to compare 10,000 to 250,000.
Out of curiosity, what would you imagine that fight to look like? I can see it going two completely opposite ways: one, a return to our pre-lockdown lives when people could earn enough money to pay their rent, or two, a push for wealth redistribution.
Sure, however, sometimes it turns out you did a good enough job and you're done. Subsequent work is academically interesting or has some narrow use cases, but there isn't going to be further revolutionary change.

In cryptography for example, AES-256 is probably enough. Permanently. When DES was designed its keys were purposefully too short and the block size was purposefully too small, and those are the only two elements that are actually broken decades later despite years of intense scrutiny, in AES the keys are long enough and the block size is big enough, and so we're done.

Or in audio. Some prototype work for Sony's Compact Disc assumed 14-bit PCM. 14-bit PCM is kinda marginal, some people are going to notice if the track is properly dithered, trivial transformations leave noticeable distortion, levels must be set correctly at all stages, and so you can make a reasonable argument it's not quite good enough. But they actually shipped 16-bit PCM. And 16-bit PCM is easily transparent. Bad dithering in the final mix? Can't hear it. The recording studio wants 20-bit PCM (for headroom), non-audio sampling applications may need 24-bit PCM, but for recorded music playback we are done.

It's also disingenuous to say bullets were merely dodged. Happening to not have two increment operators because you couldn't figure out how to do that in your parser would be a bullet dodged. Intentionally choosing not to provide either of them because they are footguns is something else. C++ is old, and C is even older, but neither of them is old enough to argue that all their mistakes were unrecognised at the time.
I did exactly this - 8-bit floats. The application needed fairly accurate representations around 0; but didn't wildly swing. It was for an IMU that had to have the internal representation converted to 'regular units'. Ultimately, Q.15 won; but it was interesting. In fact, I encourage you to try it with e.g. 4 mantissa 4 exponent, and enumerate all values.
Absolutely not, java uses native threading so native calls don't generally break scheduling, and java uses native threading so while native calls have some overhead it's maybe 5x for no-op functions, it's nowhere near "two orders of magnitude".

I have no internal monologue. No voice in my head and also no words. I can't even imagine what my voice sounds like (or my wife's voice) unless I hear it. And I also have aphantasia. It's totally silent and totally dark in my head. (And when I'm typing this, I know the ideas I want to communicate, but I have no idea what words I'll use until I see them on the screen.)

As far as I can tell, I think in abstract ideas.
Jupyter, Mathematica, and the Future of the Research Paper (2018)
Chinese takeover? The United States has officially recognized Taiwan as part of China since 1972. Documents declassified nearly 20 years ago reveal that Nixon promised China the United States would neither suppress nor support a Taiwanese uprising. Talking about China "invading" Taiwan sounds as ridiculous to me as talking about the United States "invading" Puerto Rico. That we've allowed Taiwan to become a critical part of our economy is a result of our own short-sightedness. Seems crazy we'd want to start a war with China at a time when we're wrapping up a 20 year misadventure in Afghanistan.
Like Italy in the '70s? (Piazza Fontana, Piazza della Loggia, Bologna Station bombing, Italicus train...)
Is one allowed to vary the lighting conditions while examining them?

If in one collection, one has different mixes of 4 fixed dyes or pigments which each respond to the light in a particular way, then, the way the result responds to different light sources should be in a particular 4d space, while more generally pigments could have the lighting->appearance function be a point in a larger space which that 4D space is a subset of, right?

I don’t particularly know what I’m talking about in this comment, but it seems to me like it should be right..

Though, even if what I said is right, there’s still the question of whether a person could reasonably learn to recognize whether such a response function (“response function” is not some technical term that I know. If it is a technical term, it is likely I’m using it wrong. I’m just using it as a description of the function from lighting to apparent color.) is from such a 4D subspace or not.

Based on a video I saw, I suspect that in some cases, yes, but in general idk. How often would the function be very close to something that is in the 4d subspace but isn’t quite?

I imagine a machine could do it easily.

Assuming you have a cheap way of producing light of a variable wavelength? Do we have such a thing? I think electron vibrating lasers (Idr the proper name for them) have a tunable wavelength, but I imagine those are expensive, and also probably something that isn’t a laser would be preferable.

Pedestrians can enter the crosswalk without showing (much of) intent to cross.

Depends on the region. In the Midwest and southeast most towns have several “jobshops” that keep the local industry running.
