It's a mistake to treat "China" as one coherent entity with a single unified purpose, which chooses to prioritize the mapping issue front-of-mind.

China has over a billion people. That one middle manager in the maps department is personally offended by territory appearing smaller, has zero relation to the rest of the country and shouldn't affect your opinion.

Many bureaucrats in the USA draw stupid lines in sand that nobody cares about, yet the USA is a strong superpower nonetheless.

I switch between a variety of middle-value color schemes. Like QB64 but with less saturated color overall and a bit less contrast, plus some red, green, and gold or orange hue backgrounds thrown in for variety. The dark themes or the light ones never work that well for me.

I've started creating my own (only for Geany so far) because there just aren't many like that.
Id argue C# is THE portable version of C

if you wrote your iOS app in Xamarin, u could today run it on .NET6 pretty much unchanged. I maintain multiple store apps where i share 90% of the code across all platforms (iOS/Android/Win/macOS) that have extensive integrations with the OS. I can even drop down to native obj-c, java, win32, macos apis as required using the same syntax as any other library thanks to the code-gen MS does. I use powershell for scripting. Dont need a full app? I can have native islands as well or be an island in another native App.

It's actually difficult to get smooth, realtime performance from webgl apps, there are just too many moving pieces.

I've written a lot of code for PS1, Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, XBox 360 and PS3, and except for the last two, what they had going for them was complete, absolute predictability. Your game was effectively running in realtime mode.

In a browser, you have a lot of jitter due to things out of your control; garbage collection, cpu frequency scaling, that kind of stuff. So, you see jerkiness, and that really breaks the feel of a game.

It will take a while to polish the browser tech stack to this level, and there seems to be no market to encourage that.

> What's despicable is that none of the mainstream media (WSJ, NYTimes, WaPo, Boston Globe, CNN, Fox, etc.) are covering this story. The American people atleast deserve to be informed.

That's not true. IMHO, this is part of a larger story (Apple's obsequious compromises with China), and the NY Times has previously reported on other parts: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-ce....

It's seems The Information broke this story, but I doubt it will be very long before other outlets catch up.

Finding and fixing bugs with deep learning
Exactly what Microsoft does with Xamarin, has extensive tooling to generate platform bindings on every update. I can interop with RUST with no-low overhead as needed.
The problems are that duplex/triplex/quadplex are all compromises. They don't have any of the strengths of either apartments or single-family. At the same time, they have all the weaknesses of both.

The result is that they're the right choice for no one.
I use Dracula for pretty much everything. Code editors, terminals, browsers, Slack, and even CSS skins for Tailwind, Wordpress, and more, if I'm installing an application, there's a pretty good chance there's already a theme for it.

But there's an interesting side effect of having a theme repository with over 200 applications: app discovery! Whether it's learning about interesting projects (BetterDiscord, MatterMost, Obsidian) or blasts from the past (I hadn't thought about BBEdit in a long time! And does anyone remember Brackets?), it's kind of a cool spot to find and remember things.

Good work and thank you to everyone who has worked on these themes, I use them every day for a lot of apps :)

By volume traded per day, there really are only two major cryptocurrency chains: Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both are PoW. As near as I can tell, the 3rd largest blockchain by volume is XRP and its an order of magnitude smaller than BTC or ETH.

Volume traded is admittedly an imperfect measure of activity, but its better than market cap.
Hm, hostile in that you'd be forced to sell, yes. In theory, though, Apple has to put their money where their mouth is: they're not going to make an absurd offer out of spite, they're going to offer what they're willing to pay.

In that sense, this system would just a market alternative to property appraisal: allowing the market to decide the price of something that's not (currently) for sale.

“Async” / event loop systems will usually be more efficient because 1) they don’t have to store unnecessary processor state to memory between handling events and 2) they are associated with cooperative event handlers and the assumption of a cooperative system provides more opportunities for optimization.

Foxconn has large presence in India and Vietnam.

Vietnam's plus are its cheap labour and proximity/good relations with China. As labour is growing costly in China, assembling of things is moving to Vietnam. Many components are still manufactured in China and exported to Vietnam.
Yeah, we would definitely be ahead by using tcc instead of gcc (who cares about running optimized code anyway? Smh), PDF is harmful so use PS? They are not even competing projects.

SQL database as harmful? Wtf. Vim is harmful? Like, they should just fking quit CS if they are afraid of complexity - because due to many interesting problems having an essential complexity way higher than the very low bar they can understand, they can’t really produce anything worthwhile.

It strongly depends on your personality. There's absolutely nothing wrong in being a "surfer" skimming surfaces of everything, in a way, your hobby might be to explore things as much as things themselves, if you're not "sucked in", maybe that's just fine? Sure, you don't know anything about woodworking compared to a carpenter, but you probably know more than most, enough to ask a carpenter the right questions, or fix some things that many people would have to pay for having fixed.. You might know enough about metalworking to have an interesting conversation with a finesmith, even if he outskills you.

Maybe, once in a while, take a deliberate deep-dive into some element of one of your hobbies, and see if you're sucked in, if nothing else, to satisfy your neeed to feel less superficial, but understand that you're not doing it to test your skills, but to test your tastes, to see if it's "more" for you than a "superficial" hobby.

Time is obviously a limiting factor for most of us, for me at least, less than .1% of the things I find interesting are ever pursued because time.
First off, I am not trying to assign blame, or condemnation, only causality

>Admitting we are powerless allows us to investigate and change the factors that truly lie behind the behavior

I couldn't disagree more. I am all for scientific investigations but think that behavior psychology is vastly under evaluated relative to environmental or biological priming.

>Take obesity for example, do we know why so many people have gained so much weight? If I were to judge what I think your opinion might be from your response so far, it would be purely that people are eating too much.

People are eating to many calories, this is irrefutable. We can discuss why they are eating too many calories, which is the more nuanced question

<We are all part of the same system and we should not attempt to place blame on any certain part when there are many many contributing factors. We should attempt to figure out which parts need to be adjusted and how, and its never going to be only one thing such as the agency of the individual.

This reads as self contradiction to me: "There are many contributing factors but we should not assign blame" vs "We should attempt to figure out which parts need to be adjusted"

Figuring out which part of the system is the cause is how one decides what needs to be adjusted. You can not ignore the psychological decision making process. Why one person has self control, and another does not.

To say that the perception of agency of the individual is out of scope is ridiculous to me. Actualizing one's own agency was crucial for every addict, obese person, or depressed person I have ever known.
Justify your statement that the poster is «going backward». Clearly the poster means, "in terms of values".
Not sure what code you’re looking at but in reality all code is asynchronous by nature (ie you ask the HW to do something and it tells you it’s done some time later). Then we layer blocking syscalls on top and then you layer async underneath. Io_uring is an attempt at getting everything asynchronous top to bottom.

Some times we use polling if there’s sufficient traffic and interrupts are inefficient but that’s still asynchronous, just batched.
> Since most fractional banks live off of a 10% reserve ratio, you could very well be keeping Tether alive and prevent it from ever going under by shorting it.

Some might say that FDIC made the banks super rich -- it wasn't the services that made the banks profitable, as it was the bank had a sudden and large influx of government backed cash to make loans from.

In the US, it's not just reserves it's that 95% of account holders will be FDIC insured. And because the accounts are insured, there's rigorous banking regulations around the bank so FDIC doesn't have to pay out constantly.

So at what point does a run on $USDT happen? When the Chinese commercial paper market goes belly up? When they bitfinex files for bankruptcy or is charged with RICO? Sure there's a lot of FUD but if you read the tea leaves, I think China already sees systemic risk.
Kinda but also no? Teams "managing" emergency calling is a feature: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/what-are-eme...

Sure, Android should absolutely not allow any apps to interfere with 911 calls, and so however Teams achieves this, should not be possible. But some blame certainly goes to Teams here as well for causing the situation by trying.
That's great to hear. I am also wishing to start a SaaS with pay-per-use model in a similar manner to Supabase, if you don't mind I have few questions for you.

1. What should with data of user one do when someone fails to do their subscription payment or cancels it?

2. How to manage usage based billing on the day before their card is charged ?
>> China has scale and stability.

??? Vietnam has nearly twice South Korea's population (and less than Japan's) and of course, it also has scale, as South Korean businesses in Vietnam have shown repeatedly.

To boot, Vietnam has no immediate internal political threats (eg, compared against China's separatist movements by ethnic minorities in Tibet, Uigher, Inner Mongolia) or no potential regional geopolitical/territorial conflicts with neighbors (eg, Phillippines, Japan, India, etc), other than China. And, most importantly, despite having fought a war half-century ago, America's diplomatic and trade relationship with Vietnam is far less hostile -- it's in fact quite amicable -- than with China.

>> ... but the supply chains will remain plumbed through China for a while.

That's inevitable only b/c of Apple's political clout and relentless lobbying here in the US. I was hoping, while I was no fan of Trump, Trump's trade policy would at least partly address this, but oh boy, how quickly he caved in before Apple and dished out tariff exemptions.
Some reason = probably strong myopia or astigmatism.

I have those issues and with dark themes (or just in the night when I’m tired) my eye’s lens tend to open so widely that my vision becomes blurred because the focus point of my eyes is now behind my glasses.

If you support contact lenses, it’s an issue they can effectively fix because the focus point can never be behind your correction lens.

Web3 has been co-opted to such extent by cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech that it may be better to come up with a different name for sane open-standards based decentralized technologies. The whole Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 has never been a good fit anyway and used quite arbitrarily. How long has the 3.0 versioning been in use already?
Since it seems I need to back up my statement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29492884 is one example... Is that teams' fault? No, but they'd be able to call 911 if it wasn't installed.

I have a running list of teams bugs/flaws/inferiorities, it's currently about 30 items, will probably publish it sometime soon
I believe you are correct about the lack of an atomic stat/unlink operation. Depending on how you implement the two steps, your potential errors are different.

`rm -f` handles some errors in a different way than the stat/rm approach. One can fail where the other would not.

Any given unhandled error may or may not be a problem, depending on the nature of the error, how the rest of the script is structured, and what your requirements are. There's nothing wrong with the stat/rm approach--it may be the better way to go.
What do you need an economy for once you've managed to get rid of all scarcity? Th economy is imho just a tool for allocating scarce resources.

Excuse the analogy, but this looks like looking at the problem under a microscope but not looking at the bigger ecosystem.

Every living thing produces materials that would poison it. We exhale carbon dioxide, our solid excrement is often toxic in addition to a biohazard. Even the skin cells we shed and sweat would be problematic if left to accumulate.
True. I would even argue that the software and hardware Boeing developed did exactly what it was supposed to do.
Not necessarily advocating for it, but if that would mean less bloatware, de-facto spy-ware and lousy, pointless apps, or god forbid even les social media apps, I would call that a net positive.
Why would they pay the same rate? From my understanding, the condo corporation would receive the tax bill. It would then be up to them to determine how they should charge the individual units.

I use Dracula color scheme along with the Cascadia Code font [1]. I've been using this set up in both VSCode for Rust and Java in IntelliJ. I find this combination to be extremely readable. Dracula uses many very different colors which make different parts of code obvious. Cascadia has unique shapes for many of the characters which makes distinguishing them a breeze. Would definitely recommend giving this combo a shot!

There is the theory that Germans accepted this culture of Vergangenheitsbewältigung because of a reason. While I don't necessarily believe this is a 100% true, it would explain the incentives. The theory goes as follows:

How would Germans be able to tell other Europeans what they need to do in which way if they didn't have the moral high ground of Vergangenheitsbewältigung?

While this might not be true for a big chunk of the German population (which is truly horrified by and sorry for the harm their nation caused), it is certainly part of the reson this has been successfully accepted.
Which is why they will become autonomous…
Hello, yes I am a crazed disto-hopper.

Booting a PC is a "dogs breakfast." I like the name "EasyOS" and I just wish booting a PC OS was easy, but it's not.

I boot my daily driver off of a camera card.

I also multi-boot.

I can net boot.

I can still burn CDs and DVDs, but would rather not.

I have a 3 1/2 inch drive that connects thru USB in a drawer somewhere.

If it was up to me (and it's not): I would have many memory cards that could be set to Read-Only by physically flipping a tab just like on an old 3 1/2 floppy. The code in fast memory on the memory card starts from an open standard address, a documented place that is absolutely the first and only code that runs when the computer is powered on. The read-only OS is already in memory and running and there is no such thing as boot time. I press the power on switch, and the OS is running instantaneously.

Charcoal Dryer Machine – Briquettes Drying Machine
The charcoal dryer machine is mainly used to dry all kinds of charcoal briquettes, such as shisha charcoal, hookah charcoal, barbecue charcoal briquettes, etc. This industrial charcoal briquettes drying machine can adopt a variety of heating methods and is very convenient to use. In addition to drying charcoal, it can also be used to dry all kinds of fruits, vegetables, meat, etc.
In rural areas though the whole point is that the land isn't very valuable, so the land tax will correspondingly be very low, so feel free to do economically inefficient things like having a giant house in those areas - the cost of your building will probably be far more than the cost of your land, so in practice you're not paying 4x more.
Just a thought, outside of humans, surely this thing would haves uses? Any ideas?
No my dear friend, you attack Bjarne Stroustrup, asserting he doesn't have a clue how to design a language, and then present two examples of design perfection, which have proven to actually be just as clunky.

Go generics are half assed, compromised to fit into existing codebases, as it was expected they would turn out.

Are you also going to argue for the beautiful design of nullable interfaces that aren't actually null?

Maybe it was the clever design idea that one has to produce a compiler error to validate if a given type does support or not a specific interface.

I know, modules, what a beautiful design, where the community feedback was greatly appreciated, what a lovely design it turned out to be.
