The facts I provided are an example of unequal rights in current year, are you claiming that people from Group A are not being discriminated by the police or killed by them now?

When Group A is treated equally as Group B.

> of different ethnic groups puts a big fly in your argument.

Try to understand the argument first, did those ethnic groups face the same issues as Group A? Is there some kind of filter which the other ethnic groups have to go through before they can come to the US? Look up US immigration laws.

I don't regard Merriam-Webster as authoritative.

They are hard-core descriptivists; if they can find an attestation for some usage, however contradictory or plain wrong, they will list it in their lexicon. E.g. "literally":

"In a completely accurate way; a story that is basically true even if not literally true".

"In effect, virtually; used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible"

So according to M-W, "literally" means the same as "not literally". Merriam-Webster debauch the English language.
The two approaches are stenciling (what you call monomorphisation) and dictionaries. Stenciling/monomorphization increases binary size, compilation time and TLB/cache pressure. The dictionaries-only approach has more runtime cost. This hybrid is a middle ground of both.

How to Improve Your Programming Skills as Developers and Non-Developers
Maybe it just shows their overwhelming focus on the cloud but I don't see how anyone at Microsoft can have looked at their OS update system (particularly for Windows Server) and think "Yup, that's acceptable."

Our Windows Server 2016 VM's take over two hours to apply the monthly security patches even on a basic web or application server. The Sysadmin subreddit had a thread recently where some were claiming some of their 2016 machines take over four hours.

Not only are our Linux servers dramatically faster to update there's also more information displayed on progress for those inclined to look at console outputs. This leads to a lot less awkward pauses where you try to work out if it's permanently stuck or just thinking.
OK, yeah. If Unicode hadn't gone with Han unification (couldn't they know we'd have space to put zillions of characters in a font just a few years later?) you'd have the same flexibility in mixing C/J/K.

No, because as Charles Murray has explained in the book "Real Education" and in an essay "Intelligence and College" https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Murray%20Inte... , you should have an IQ of 115 to study at the college level.
Looking at it, the trick seems to be in tweaking the variance of the distribution of possible outcomes for the dice.

That, coupled with the fact that it doesn't matter how MUCH you win or lose by. A loss by 1 and a loss by 4 counts for the same. This nonlinearity is what allows the trick to work, supposedly defying the probabilities.
China has not many surnames I think? A little google search showed that dang is one of them.
```
Chinese : The surname Dang comes from a branch of the ruling family of the Zhou dynasty (1122–221 bc) that spread to the state of Jin and the state of Lu. The character now also means 'political party'. German: from an old personal name Tanco, a cognate of modern German denken 'to think', Gedanke 'thoughts'.

```

So I'm guessing if you're from a country where that is a regular surname, you might assume it's like that and not DanG, so yeah I guess that happens
I'd agree with this, having been a contributing author to a technical book. It was a very interesting process and I learned a lot, but it was not something with a good return on investment, in terms of straight money.

What I've heard from speaking to other technical authors is that the value comes from the opportunities it can generate. Writing a good book in a technical field can help establish you as an expert in the field, which can generate things like consultancy opportunities.
Is it just me or does the 'since 2012' reads as if it can also mean "and it has been that way since 2012".
Sure, you are right. The article basically says: “don’t do it cause we will catch you for sure” & “only people with character flaw as would consider doing it anyways”.
My point was mostly about the mention of catching spies when the approach signal stations.

I've been running some tests on my regular server, where it seems that zstd offers better compression ratios than the default lzo-rle. Ratios are currently at 3.7 vs 2.6 according to netdata; I've seen them as far apart as 4 vs 2. Mostly a matrix server with a big database.

zstd could be slightly slower, although according to some benchmarks, it decompresses faster.
Certainly happy to have a conversation about it. I'll dig up my notes and I have a whole bunch of research papers you might find interesting. Feel free to drop me an email: rojw at pm dot me.

I've found that talking about "credit money" explicity is problematic because most people - especially in the crypto world - don't understand what money really is. They believe it is, or should be, some kind of token with "intrinsic" value. But history suggests otherwise becuase the vast majority of monies were credit instruments and the system we have today is a credit based system, it's just heavily centralised around central banks. I believe that one could make a better system by liberalising who can create credit. The problem ultimately boils down to reputation scoring and tracking.

I'm not saying that "intrinsic value" coins such as gold coins were not used. Of course, they were! Particularly in situations where relationships were ephemeral or not long lasting so maintianing a credit ledger wasn't possible. However, now we have the technology to maintain a credit ledger for the whole World so instinsic value tokens/coins are not necessary anymore. In that light, I believe the current iteration of crypto really isn't very useful for anything other than facilitating a big casino.

In the meantime, have a read of this great paper [1] by a British Diplomant called Alfred Mitchell-Innes. He wrote two papers and this is the first one and I think it's the best paper on "what is money". Enjoy!

First I'd like to introduce you to this: http://ucsx.org/

But no, there is no particular reason to introduce a longer encoding than the modern UTF-8 (which is actually shortened from the original one-to-six-byte encoding). The current set of 1,114,112 Unicode characters is sufficient for at least the foreseeable future, because any new assignment requires a demonstrable historic or current use. (Emojis are slightly different, but they still require that the underlying concept is widespread and do not significantly overlap with existing emojis. See [1].) Han characters are the largest source of new assignments to this date and they are yet to reach two out of 17 full planes (that would equate to 131K characters).

Ah it's a UK thing. Not sure what kind of equivalents other countries have, but I'm sure they do in similar forms.

It stands for Research Excellence Framework, and effectively it's a metric used by government and research councils to allocate funding to more 'deserving' universities / groups, by rewarding departments with "high quality paper outputs".

This has led to effectively departments launching tedious bureaucratic exercises and workshops where all members of staff need to submit summaries for "star-ratings" for departmental sifting, submissions of only certain kinds of papers to particular journals, eschewing both high-risk and low-hanging-fruit research in favour of controversial or 'popular' topics which are more likely to gather citations, "buying" researchers for their paper co-authorships within the currently valid REF-cycle rather than based on their research/teaching skills or interests, etc.

"Dang" is a surname in Vietnam, China, and elsewhere [1], which has led to subthreads like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20643150 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25053380 in which, yes, people thought he was Asian.

One time any break through like this was Cray from the USA. Its sad that a printer manufacturer now owns Cray.
Han unification and Emojis are from a different time. We're talking about a decision made about 30 years ago in the early 90s; Unicode was 16 bits (65k total codepoints) at the time.

The original CJK Unified Ideographs block from 1992 consists of 21k codepoints. It was impossible to do that four times since 4×21k is more than 65k, and we're going to need space for some other languages as well. Why not make Unicode larger? Well, size was a real concern back then (still is, to some degree, but less so).

Since then Unicode has expanded and now we have slightly under 1 million codepoints. Han character blocks have extended to about 93k codepoints today, and 4 times ~93k codepoints is actually feasible. But now you run in to compatibility issues: you can't remove all the old Han unification stuff (it will break text, big no-no), so you need to re-define it all anew. Is that better? How about mixing "old" Han unified codepoints with new Japanese or Chinese stuff? Will it really improve things or just cause endless confusion (see: combining characters)?

For scale, all of Unicode currently defines about 145k codepoints; so even with Han unification we're talking about two thirds being taken up by just these three languages.

In comparison there are currently about 3,000 emojis, although the number of codepoints is much less since many codepoints are re-used (e.g. "firefighter" is "person + firetruck", flags use the country code, etc.). In a quick check it looks like there are about 1,000 to 1,500 codepoints reserved for emojis. In comparison, this is nothing.

What I'm trying to say is that the (comparatively) very low number of emojis has absolutely no bearing on this and that going off on a tangent about it is very misplaced.
> He’s not of asian descent.

What?
Lame. There's nothing here about Hacker News's disrespect for users, and their disgraceful "You're posting too fast" bullshit.

They let people waste their time composing questions or answers, and THEN tell them they can't post when they press the "add comment" button. And we're talking two or three posts in a matter of HOURS being flagged as "too fast."

ASSHOLES.
my observation is that when you are starting out your stories generate more than .5 per comment, not sure if it is 1 per comment, but at a certain point you get capped to .5 per comment on story. Have not noticed any capping on favorites for comments though.

It is currently available (and in stock) from the official resellers, at least here in Europe. Limited to one per order but that kind of makes sense considering the global chip shortage. Get one while you can. :)
> It’s also extremely magical in that it needs special language-level support throughout in ways Result is not, but obviously that’s more of a matter of taste.

That's a peculiar observation, it's like saying Rust's borrow checker is magical because it needs language-level support. I mean, that's the point.

In any case re: zig error or rust's Result, I don't think either of us are discussing features and pros/cons, but just describing what we like the best. Not very objective an argument.

I think it's easy to overlook all the little things.

Sure, you could probably whip something up in an hour that did a large part of of what it needed to do, but it would be kinda crappy and half-assed.

You almost always do 80% of the work in the first 20% of the time, the rest is a lot slower, but every bit as important.

People absolutely can tell when they are using something that has thought and effort put into it, and you can't fake that.
Related to this, I read this article on my commute last week.

yeah, endless hours spend waiting for Windows Update. It is not so bad anymore.

The only thing I can think about comparing your setup to mine is that I rarely turns off my computer. If you only use your very infrequent and turn it off when not used. I wonder if Windows is doing all kinds of maintenance jobs every time you start your computer since it is off most of the time, and then when you manually hit windows update, it gets a bit busy working out the correct state of your computer

Those jobs are on my computer distributed over days / weeks but wit you they run every time you turn on windows since it couldn't run them at their scheduled frequency since the computer was off.

I am just speculating, but maybe try to turn on windows once in a while and leave it over night, to test if this improves things.
> The point is that math shows they determined that it has an effect before the trial ended.

With a small enough sample, math can show that a coin flip gives tails 4 out of 5 times, specially if it's stopped too soon.

Don't you agree that stopping an experiment once we get the result we were hoping for and are looking for from the start does raise doubts regarding the conclusion?

Yes, I do honestly believe that Apple does respond to negative PR and potential competitors (minor or otherwise). It's one of the things I admire about them.

But my earlier comment itself was partially snarky to what is essentially a puff piece trying to convey that the new Apple laptops is now more "repairable" - "Oh my god! Apple has replaced the glue they use on their battery with stretchable adhesive that is now easier to remove!"
For what it's worth, mainstream OSes will also have poor handling of these cases, which will eliminate the most tricky cases by the sheer inconvenience it causes.

As far as I know textfields only have one font applied, so entering both languages in a single field won't be optimal. And if you're not doing anything fancy with your fields, they will all take the same font as well.

So even at the input level, the user switching languages will already be mildly screwed, and the best solution would probably be to change pages for each language.
WebP is better supported, I think.
One shouldn't lay all of those costs on a tool just because a design needs an iteration to be correct. That happens even with expensive tools. The only question is weather there are any hindrances to doing the design as best as the humans know how.

I can recommend starting a blog. The big thing, at least for me, is it that incentivises you to finish side-projects and complete thought pieces (at least finish/complete them enough to be able to write about them). Prior to starting my blog I'd years and years of unfinished and undocumented, but potentially quite interesting and/or innovative, side-projects.

Just to add - for technical folks a blog can be free and relatively easy to setup and self host with something like Hugo or Jekyll on GitLab or GitHub pages.

That's why Apple offers to do it for them.

The most depressive thing in managed langauges is that nobody figured out how to use low-level APIs or at least how to bring some abstractions for graphics (2d,3d) that would fit in 99% of the scenarios.

Actually, I would be interested to know how the comments are sorted.

Oddly, the worst response rate came from “no response needed.” Better not use that one the next time you want a response!
That's an expected pivot. From "nobody needs generics" to "we absolutely needed 10 years to figure out the best way to do parametric polymorphism, which was already known for 35 years when the language was created".

And of course in addition to that, there will probably be claims that "no one claimed that generics aren't needed". I'm glad that we have the archives to show that this isn't true, and it's a good thing to keep in mind when opinions are being pushed on HN.
Something not mentioned in either article is how karma is handled on submissions. 1 comment upvote = 1 karma point, but 1 submission upvote isn't.

Call me a fool, but it's never occurred to me that he wasn't. I've always pictured him as a Chinese gentleman, a sort of Confucian scholar in 0s and 1s holding up the mortal world to ancient standards of virtue.

I might come across as reading far too much xianxia, and that would be accurate.
