The way I read the article: there was an original order of support from the ex-wife (not the trust). She arranged to pay her ex-husband for some unspecified period of time, then the ex-husband alleges that stopped.

It is this last point that I don’t read as being settled legally that she is in arrears for child-support. (I believe she is. You believe she is. I don’t see that a court has judged that she is and it seems like that’s what the ex-husband needs to prove.)

It’s possible that it’s in the article and I’ve overlooked it twice, but I don’t see it.
Everyone knows billionaires are standing on the shoulders of giants from Shannon to Shockley, neither of whom were billionaires. Getting these pioneers their just desserts from taxes, assuming they even wanted them, would be like using the wrong end of a hammer to nail a board.

You can say it’s a social construct all you want, but most kids engage in kinds of ply and have preferences based on their biological sex. Doesn’t mean some don’t, just means that this isn’t some made up evil thing.
Yes, knowing that any data captured cannot be decrypted until after I’m dead is definitely generic as I don’t know anyone who will live long enough for decryption to happen in their lifetime, do you?

If not, then you’re wrong about it being a platitude because you’ve given absolutely no reason how that data will be useful, other than ”who knows, a way might suddenly appear to decrypt all of it”. Maybe they’ll also invent a time machine but I’d prefer to stick to the realms of reality rather than sci-fi when assessing risk.

> Interests of 1.4B PRC outweighs 24m on TW.

If Russia decides to annex e.g. Ukraine in its entirety tomorrow, do the interests of 146 million Russians outweigh the interests of 41 million Ukrainians? It doesn't really work that way.

(Not to mention that the government of PRC is not exactly representative.)

> The plans were to drop hundreds of nukes. Those were definitely in the right order of magnitude to potentially end humanity.

I'm not sure where you're getting a plan to drop hundreds of nukes on the Soviet Union in 1950 from Von Neumann--source?

In any case, these weren't hydrogen bombs. There were probably hundreds of relatively legitimate military targets in the USSR in 1950 that could be usefully attacked with nuclear weapons with yields in the tens of kilotons (versus the hundreds to thousands of kilotons of hydrogen bombs). It's a big country and you could drop hundreds of nuclear weapons in the right parts of it without destroying population centers. The Soviets themselves did that with their own testing.

> There is no strategic use of nuclear weapons against a nuclear armed country.

Which the USSR barely qualified as in 1950. Plus, they had few reliable ways of delivering those nuclear arms to US soil. That's the point of attacking them in 1950 as opposed to waiting until they had a large nuclear arsenal and the ability to reach the United States.

I don't think that's accurate. 1950 was before hydrogen bombs.
We're in agreement - and the protections have to be broad indeed to bar specific activities, regardless of which company partake in them (current, or future). Targeting individual companies will lead to an endless game of snail-paced whack-a-mole

Not to paint myself as a stoic in any sense, I can remember spells of not being able to sleep for 3 nights in a row out of terror and axiety. But when that happens you must find mechanisms to keep it from happening again. The pain is transient, not intrinsic.
Julia has some elegant aspects that make it a joy to work with. I'd turn your comment around a little bit though:

> Julia still has a long way to go in regards to libraries

For me, the core practical benefit of python is the ecosystem. I also like the language and there are definitely some intellectually satisfying "pythonic" things you can do. But for work, my core concern is productivity, and python has mature libraries across everything I do (ML / data science) that let me spend my time using it as a tool and not sorting out quirks of the v0.1 libraries.

That's really it. The no fred lunch with Julia is that it's nowhere near the maturity (including documentation) of libraries that python has.
Sad stuff.

Personally I can’t imagine that anyone would want information on nuclear reactors. What would one use that stuff for. It’s not the 50’s, how nuclear reactors work is well known. The limiting factors for building them are probably more about economics and finding manpower and ore not informational.
Definitely FOMO with their limited invites. I'm not sure what other strategies they employed beyond seeding initial users and getting them to invite friends to what was a superior service (1-2 orders of magnitude more e-mail storage than offered by just about anyone else, and for free). IIRC, I got my GMail address off an invite from a high-school colleague.
IIRC, they kickstarted it by having their employees hand out invite codes after the internal beta had ironed out the worst bugs and most Google employees switched over for their internal communication, and then these users could also create invite codes... and given that Gmail offered a whopping 1GB of free storage whereas common providers offered sometimes only single-digit megabyte quotas, people were going nuts for invites.

I'm fine with being pedantic. However, they _are_ "Linux commands", they're just not exclusively so (and no, I'm not going to get into 'but Linux is a kernel ...').

It's like having 'a guide to kitchen tools' and you complain that cleavers are also used outside kitchens -- for sure, but they're still "kitchen tools".

A lot of people won't be using a POSIX shell, XNU is what it says it is, ... what are you going to call it? 'Linux-like commands'? You're going to lose a load of learners who are looking for 'the command line, y'know, linux' rather than something that's not it but is like it.

Kinda a premature specification.
Old versions of software are super easy to deal with with Nix, because it gives you a baseline level of isolation for all packages that obviates these problems. On some of my systems running the latest NixOS release from 2021, I've installed a package from 2015, and I didn't have to do anything to isolate it or its whole toolchain.

I fail to see how the legitimacy of someone’s suffering or emotions is affected by their societal privilege.
And on the other hand, such an approach really helps in cases where extra resources would fix the problem.

I recall a case many years ago when my employer had a networking issue at one of the branches where we could not get to a solution for weeks... until at one meeting with the outsourced provider reiterating that a proper fix was impossible, they started to explain why it was impossible, saying that they'd need to replace all the hardware along the route which would be extremely expensive. At which point we asked how much, they named a number, and it was easily affordable compared to the problems it was causing us so the issue was approved in the same meeting. And if only they had started with the same approach, we could have had it fixed right away instead of trying to fix an "impossible" issue for weeks.
Microchip bought HI-TECH a few years ago and rebranded the 8-bit PIC compiler as XC8 (and discontinued their own compiler).

It’s the only one of Microchip’s compilers that’s not GCC-based, which can be a pain. Also I remember at -O0, the generated code is just huge and inefficient.
You put into words my exact experience with his influence on someone in my team a while ago. It was exhausting to have someone add complexity to our react codebase i.e. through render props + “accessor pattern”. It had a significant cost in code reviews and refactors.

> Fully betting China will solve the youth fertility crisis within this decade.

Can't see it, personally. The government does not understand life from the perspective of a young adult. Look at their incentives.

The amount that a Chinese family has to invest in tutoring for the zero-sum gaokao[1], just so that their child keeps up with the pack; the hukou system that means among other problems that access to child healthcare or schools where the parents live and work is expensive; the lack of a pension system requiring young adults to support their parents (two each) as well as save for their own retirement; house ownership unaffordability.

Fix those, and people might relax enough to have children. But maybe not - there are plenty of other things to do these days, and one-child families are the cultural norm now.

Eliminating 996 just means two jobs instead of one; and capping rent and increasing wages increases saving for old age, and possibly spending on material goods and services a little because the fundamentals and incentives have not changed.

1. Yes, I know that large-scale for-profit tutoring has been banned. That just drives it underground, because the fundamentals (the gaokao) and incentives have not changed.

I think a good way of reframing it is to change "wasting time" to "cooldown time" or "rest time". You don't need to be doing something "productive" all the time, it's fine to allow you time to do unproductive sutff that you enjoy. It also allows you to really enjoy it, instead of constantly telling yourself "I should be doing something else"

It's a reference to my teddy bear (Billy Rubin) who I've had all my life. He was named after I made my mum's bilirubin wonky in the womb, my parents have a great sense of humor.

A few years ago I wanted to study medicine, but I knew we would miss my income, so what's a girl to do to make easy money while studying? ... Porn of course! So when I made my porn accounts I used Billie, the name was so familiar and it had a good alignment with my goals.

But my porn went unexpectedly viral and I kinda got overwhelmed by that. And in the mean time I took up 3D printing, and that's how I ended up moderating the largest 3D printing community on earth under the username BillieRubenCamGirl. lol.

I ended up meeting lotsa doctors because of the name (doctors love puns as much as I do it seems) and decided through talking with them I didn't want to be a dr after all. Ended up starting a double degree in two other STEM fields.

I still have the teddy, he sleeps on my bed every night.

Official Discords/Slacks for programming languages should be considered an antipattern - especially if they end up replacing documentation or a discussion group.

It's as if the new generation of developers doesn't realize the difference between transient conversations (which is what happens on Discord/Slack) and creating knowledge (which needs to be persistent and searchable, neither of which is afforded by aforementioned chat services).
The article is basically saying that the quantity of papers published per year has a negative influence on the quality.

Quite off-topic, but it reminded me of an interesting book I read some time ago titled "The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times". It is a bit obscure and metaphysical, but it develops the same idea across all aspects of society: economics, society, politics, religion, etc, etc.

Of science it basically proposes that science itself is a product of "quantitative thinking":

> The founding of a science more or less on the notion of repetition brings in its train yet another delusion of a quantitative kind, the delusion that consists in thinking that the accumulation of a large number of facts can be of use by itself as ‘proof' of a theory; nevertheless, even a little reflection will make it evident that facts of the same kind are always indefinite in multitude, so that they can never all be taken into account, quite apart from the consideration that the same facts usually fit several different theories equally well. It will be said that the establishment of a greater number of facts does at least give more ‘probability' to a theory; but to say so is to admit that no certitude can be arrived at in that way, and that therefore the conclusions promulgated have nothing ‘exact' about them;

Anyway, quite an interesting book.

I never buy into the tech stack argument that things are being worked on (e.g you mention Project Vahalla but I see this across many languages and tools). Seen this argument used on a number of different technologies. It compares a future state to a current state to put the favored tech (the future state) in an equal or better position. It usually punishes innovative platforms as well; because it dismisses any reason to take them up.

It's comparing apples to oranges - in this case .NET is also being actively worked on so may have other things by then. Compare current state only.

The truth is each platform has prioritized features relevant to its context. For what its worth in my experience while the JVM has many more JIT optimisations and the like it tends to need them more of them given the lack of some of those features you mention (e.g. value types). Whereas .NET code allows value types, better management of memory (i.e. Span), reified generics etc so the focus has been to allow the user to optimise themselves where required where still allowing for a decent performance default. Many of the optimisations in the JVM wouldn't have the same bang for buck in .NET and vice versa.

On a personal note I'm more of a fan of the .NET philosophy because the code is usually fast enough, and when I need to tune memory, avoid allocations, and do fast code it seems to offer more tools not in an unsafe context to do so. It allows a better "upper bound" of performance for core things IMO while keeping to bytecode/IL. Many benchmarks where the same level of application optimisation has occured from what I seen have confirmed this bias for me. YMMV
So you have never actually lived in the US? Or any other country outside of your birth country? Believe me when I say that reality doesn’t match your expectations.
A nation-state is not the way that populations interact on the political stage, but rather the way the elites that rule those populations do. You're correct in that the elites are who defines what the "nation-state of China" is, but that doesn't mean that they speak for the "people of China".

(It should be noted that this also goes for the vast majority of nation-states.)
As I've said to a sibling, I don't think someone grieving is "being presented with a problem". It's just part of life.

That's the entire point of the Security Council veto. Note that there are other, rotating members on it, which do not have the veto power. In principle, all members could be like that.

Some of Norm's jokes are intentionally very long with a lousy punchline, making them funnier... which I could see in this case because the story was told with every sentence in its own tweet, making it painful to read chronologically (and possibly adding another element to the "typist" bit).

But in the other cases usually the joke is much more obvious, so again, I'm not sure.
