:-) Still, the "brains" in insects work more or less the same as ours. So the hypothesis here is that something akin to emotions are a basic feature of brains + bodies. The hypothesis is not that stones have feelings although there are people who would think otherwise.

The demonstrative 那 and 是 as a copula are the most obvious ones as well as the exclusive use of 不. Individually they are each found in some Wu varieties and other varieties, but that is often a bleed-over from Mandarin.

More generally, the following are a small sampling of dominant, geographically independent characteristics of Song written vernacular that make me say that it is clearly Mandarin.

1. The standard pronouns are all the same. We have 我, 你, 他, with the appropriate 們 (often also spelled many different ways just as 門 or later on as we get to the Yuan and Ming dynasty 每). Note that unlike the Tang dynasty 他 and 你 are far and away clearly the dominant, geographically-independent pronouns of the standard vernacular.

2. The near demonstrative is 這 (also spelled 者, 遮, or otherwise) and the far demonstrative is 那. While other demonstratives exist (as is the case even in modern Mandarin) these are far and away the most popular, regardless of region.

3. The order of words is effectively always the same as modern Mandarin.

4. The copula is always 是.

5. The various uses of 個 as an auxiliary word apart from just a 量詞 are generally a superset of modern Mandarin.

6. The interrogative for "where" is 哪 (spelled 那) that is paired in all the same ways as in modern Mandarin (那裏, 那個, etc.).

7. The interrogative for "what" is variations of 什麼/甚麼 (e.g. literally those or 甚底 or other things involving 甚).

And so so many other auxiliary words (著, 正, etc.).

In fact, if anything, a general rule of thumb for Song vernacular is that modern Mandarin represents a subset of the usages of various function words in the Song vernacular (e.g. 著 has all the uses it does in modern Mandarin in addition to being something more similar to 被 and other things) and modern Mandarin has simply gotten more "strict" (this is of course a simplification).
> Long grain basmati that has aged a couple of years. I dont know if you can find aged basmati in the US.

I believe almost all Basmati rice is aged, the length of aging and of course grades of rice can vary.

You can find it in any Indian grocery store since Basmati grown in India accounts for 65% of the international trade in basmati rice. At least in the Bay Area it can also be found in several/all Costco. Kirkland Basmati rice claims it is aged at least 1 year.

As much as I hate social media, and the fact that I am not a white man is why I will break your heart with this awful truth.

Alt-left is just as bad as alt-right, but I'd rather sit in a room with a racist and talk it out rather than a leftist. At least the racist will generally make sense and can be reasoned with even if you hate them with a passion.

My socialist neighbor wants to have come colored people as his pet project, but seems to be quite the racist when it comes to us doing better than him.

America's semi industry was spawned and supported with government money since the beginning. China is no different.

Capitalism doesn't exist in a vacuum, nor is it magical in the way you imply. You youngsters
That’s a lovely story!

Bicycles are one of the greatest devices ever invented. A relatively simple machine that enables humans to efficiently propel themselves much further and faster than they’d otherwise be able to. Everyone deserves to ride one!
This is almost laughably naive. The irony is that you are criticizing poor IT leadership, by offering a suggestion that is beyond poor.

"Let's get 3 of your best guys in touch with the guys over at log4j...."

As if you can just wire up some engineers to reach out to each other on unrelated projects and magic will happen.
The whole country, really.

The pattern is that an investor (Chinese) starts a project, gets a bunch of people to buy into it, a shell of a building is created and then all the work stops and is left for dead. Usually stops because someone in the chain of command didn't get enough coffee money.

Nha Trang and Da Nang are popular beach areas and rife with these sorts of things, but you also see it all up and down the coast as well as in the big cities.

Da Lat has been completely ruined over the last few years. People post before/after pictures and whole valleys that were filled with trees or farmland are now replaced with houses. It is a short enough drive from Saigon that it makes for a great weekend escape. Except there is really only one mountain road into the place...

I was just digging into Cloud Native Buildpacks (buildpacks.io) as an alternative to Dockerfiles yesterday and realised that they actually have SBOM generation built into them for popular languages which is a really nice easy security infrastructure upgrade for everyone using them.
> He offers a long list of arguments and even though I don't check in node_modules, some of the arguments are compelling (...)

Are they, really?

The less debatable point is arguing that making CICD pipelines slightly faster, but this feels like an appeal to microoptimization. Any free tier CICD system out there let's you do a single npm install and move these dependencies as far as you'd like into the pipeline as artifacts. Is a git checkout really faster that a npm install?

For example, is adding a npm dependency really invisible if you already track package.json and even package-lock.json? Those files show up in diffs, and it's hard to miss them.

Also, if the goal is to get replicated builds, isn't this handled by pinning versions and tracking package-lock?

The left_pad example is particularly ridiculous as I highly doubt that a company like Google, like any company that cares about auditing and vending dependencies, does not run its own npm proxy with cherry-picked packages.
package.json doesn’t even allow comments for describing why a package is included, sigh

It sort of does. NPM ignores properties it doesn't understand, so you can easily add something like "dependencyReasons": { "react": "Make website go brr" } if you want to.

I imagine your actual complaint is that there isn't a -m flag to add a comment when you install something, or a way to list those comments when you list the packages, or a way to enforce the user always adds a comment. It's true that those are missing, and that they'd be very useful, but you can still do it manually if it's important enough to you.
When I was in high school one of our teachers died suddenly of an aneurysm. I hadn’t really realised up to that point that the human body could just… fail… like that. Triggered a bit of an existential crisis tbh.
Sure, there are. But Twitter is actively trying to work against it, and so far, in my personal experience I have not seen Hitler apologists on the site.

Sure, there are full fledged genocide deniers ( I have personally read tweets on Holodomor and Srebrenica denials), plus supporters of fascist regimes like in DPRK and Syria. Then there is the stuff like the BJP IT Cell tweeting their absolute worst.

So first off I'm explicitly downplaying the phonological side of things here. This entire thread has been about the fundamental grammatical and vocabulary differences rather than phonological differences, i.e. realizing that different varieties of Chinese are not just the same language with different pronunciations sprinkled on top. I'll get to the phonological side later because the story there is more complicated than you're making it out to be.

So leaving aside the phonology, I offer a rough idea here of why the Song vernacular is essentially Mandarin: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29528008

> Conservative varieties of Chinese, e.g. Yue, still have a largely monosyllabic core vocabulary, and Mandarin words, owing to the reduction of phonemic and tone pallettes, are remarkable for having two or three syllables on average.

I don't believe this, at least not without more research. The core vocabulary of modern Mandarin is about as monosyllabic as Yue (pronouns, core verbs, core adjectives, etc. are all primarily monosyllabic). The reason Mandarin is primarily polysyllabic is because of non-core vocabulary, but that is shared with Yue as well.

It is by no means settled in modern Western scholarship or in Chinese scholarship that all varieties other than Min are descended from Middle Chinese. It is best to think of the concept of Middle Chinese (as exemplified by the Qieyun System) as a useful fiction, which works to provide a framework to analyze a lot of historical and modern Chinese varieties, but which does not exist either as a synchronic language ever actually spoken by anybody nor is accurately thought of as a true linguistic ancestor to modern varieties.

I unfortunately am shooting from the hip here and don't have time at the moment to lay out sources and thoughts in more detail. Please let me know if you'd like them and I'll lay them out more thoroughly when I next can get to a computer.
I cannot reach the website (and that page): is it just me?
By this metric, everyone's personal opinions/worries/etc. are anti-democratic. The only pro-democratic material, with all the 'facts' and data, would be that put forth by the people with access to said information, which in this case is people working in the government.

> Beijing dialect/slang "颠儿" means '(he/she) is gone', which wouldn't be readily apparent or understandable to even mandarin speakers. but the first character has the meaning "run/trip".

Old dictionaries list 颠 as a synonym of 顶 only, without a "run/trip" meaning. Most likely the character was only used for this word because both are pronounced "diān" in Mandarin and people didn't bother to make a new character, e.g. by combining [足颠]. The -儿 suffix is also interesting, because the sound modification it represents is something Beijing Mandarin speakers picked up from the Manchu during the Qing dynasty, it has nothing to do with the meaning of 儿. So 颠儿 is a relatively new addition to the written language that is not shared with non-Mandarin varieties.
And what I am complaining about is that NOTHING in my comment had anything do with "giving their work away for $0 and then complaining that nobody pays them $ for their work."

It was actually intended behavior, and this is what really boggles the mind!

Of course, I am full believer in the horse shoe theory.

If you genuinely believe all alt righters (ie those who believe in the supremacy of their race to others) can be convinced with some dialogue,the issue would have been solved long ago. It isn't that easy.

You are however, judging the left from the lenses of dumb college students who do dumb shit and anarchists who use protests to do evil things.
I did not suggest to replace managers with engineers, just give an opportunity to work and be represented on more strategic level to some engineers. It can be seen as a good career progression for ICs.
10 years or less (likely less) starlink will have that covered IMO.

I tried the tutorial and had some interesting discussions about the direction of Oct API development. It takes the hassle out CRUD services. They are repetitive to code without something like Oct API. Now you just need to define your data model and the API and database are managed for you.

I think it will be interesting to see how data in Oct API can be integrated with other services in the future. Maybe via Webhooks...

Social networks want to live forever, they have no dismantle-by date unlike the human networks that facilitated human ingenuity in the past.

Ok this is insane.

A couple days ago I was trying to purchase some new inexpensive but highly reviewed smoke detectors for my apartment. However I ran into an issue that due to some California law, they can’t be delivered because they have to be “10 year” units. The 10-year units are 2-3x the price.

On a whim just a couple minutes ago, I did the same search the author did in the article for “bromethalin” on Amazon. Lots of products showed up. I picked the one that had next day Prime delivery for San Francisco. At this step I just left it in my cart.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005BV0DD2?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_...

I read a bit further into the article where he talks about California it’s banned. To double check that, I went ahead and completed the order. Went through just fine. Confirmed delivery by tomorrow, 12/12/2021.

Then I had a momentary minor freak out and cancelled the order asap.

So yeah OP has an entirely valid point and it’s incredibly easy to buy this stuff. I even went with Amazon’s recommendation and got free shipping.
I thought New Mexico was a pretty big state - how can healthcare be an issue or does he mean specialists in neurology ???.

Hello, it appears your account is shadow banned. I vouched for your comment so that it can be seen and commented on, because it seems like an otherwise normal comment.

As a response to your comment, I would agree, but also I'd modify that history isn't written by the victors, but the survivors and observers.

Good for you for turning a video about a tornado disaster into political commentary about the channel that aired the video. Shoot the messenger, divert from the topic of OP and virtue signal a bit. How charitable.
> I want to be able to build knowledge of the library over a long time, to hone my craft.

This is my problem not only with programing languages but also with desktop environments and other tools. It's actually why I see people preferring LibreOffice Writer over MS Word in some fields, and why some people stick with e.g. PHP when NodeJS or Python would, in a stable world, be the objectively better technology.
I had never thought about RTL until I started working on a web game with sizeable Arabic user base. It's a bit hard to do right unless you just go transform: scaleX(-1) which is what my predecessor had done.

> and I've gone through all the hoops to get paid (PO, billing, invoices, registering to large companies is a lot of paperwork, tbh, but well..) and we try and bill small to large companies that depends on those projects.

I see an opportunity to create a "create-a-company"-as-a-service, to help tons of other maintainers to do this with ease.
With git you can specify the clone depth and only get the latest X versions. And there are ways to trim history with external plugins ( git filter repo).
Funny but I've also done this.
Thanks for sharing!

Depending on the context, if you don't want this in git history, and want to handle git submodules, there's also git-archive-all https://github.com/roehling/git-archive-all (if you like shell scripts, it is using bats for testing - it was the first time I heard of it)
Redordering reviews by date helps a lot.
Unfortunately, enforcing documentation never works. Then people will just put "42" everywhere which makes it harder to find the _actual_ documentation that someone was willing to note down.

Forking yourself is not scalable for fixing a 10/10CVE and I don't get how people think that somehow "fork it" is a viable solution across the entire industry.

This is not about forcing my dependencies to do anything, this is about caring about maintainers and maybe ensuring that the bedrock of our ecosystems aren't maintained by unpaid volunteers in their free time, exploiting the sweat on their backs for our amusement for free. Forking the project is just spitting on their efforts on top of that.
Can this be realistically used by game companies to provide a much better AI experience for strategy games?
That is not sufficient no. As a user, I want to be able to support developers so they have the time to fix things that go wrong. That the log4j Maintainers are entirely unpaid for maintaining what amounts to the bedrock of the java ecosystem is a tragedy and that people continue to argue that this is how it should be are simply exploiting what amounts to slave labor.

There is more people using the internet than hungry. This is both good and bad. Consider that most of these people do have access to internet but have minimal culture or education to judge what is conspiracy, conspiracy theory, fake news or downright lies. People don't know what science is or what is the scientific method. They don't know what is the difference between opinion and fact, prejudice and moral, dogma and respect. Most have no idea of probabilities and statistics and fall prey to very very poor arguments that appeal to personal emotional triggers. Makes me remember an old report that favelas in Brazil had more TV's than refrigerators.

Instead of becoming an instrument to strengthen freedom, it actually weakens it and promotes domination and inequality.
How many excludes is Java going to ship is forking the problem of unmaintained libraries away becomes too much? When it reaches 5kb? 10kb? 100kb of excludes?
You'll need workers to fill those factories. And on top of them you'll need seasonal workers too, because there's no reason to employ huge number of people outside of "new iPhone season".
I can make an argument that money will make it even worse, as people will full-time make even more useless features that just increase the attack surface.

This particular class of problems (same as the sqlite fts tokenizer exploit and most of openssl exploits, even lots of the sendmail exploits) are just obscure unused features. It happens even in CPUs themselves. (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR0nh-TdpVg)

Removing code is twice harder than adding code, why do you think paid maintainers would improve anything? Just look at the code written in FAANG or any enterprise, and those maintainers are very well paid, imagine this code being public, we will have 1 new exploit per day per company... and that is assuming non malicious developers that can be shipping trojan code https://lwn.net/Articles/874951/ (it is also hard to assume all millions of developers are non malicious, even if we assume 1 in 100000, things look really bad)

Less code is the one solution. Regardless if open source or enterprise code.

We are stuck, and change is needed, but money is not a solution, and might even be the cause of the problem. (incentive to write more code)
All good, but this is written in the blog of Smartbear, the company that sells products that divide engineers and the non-technical crowd.

I heard many times product owners saying that if this can't be done in OpenAPI and shown in SwaggerUI, then it can't exist. Websockets can't exist. Lazy loading, asynchronous communication, HTTP/2... all went south because product features are defined by lads viewing OpenAPI through SwaggerUI.
I don't think that is any issue whatsoever, the software engineering world has largely agreed on the usage of the word dependency, doesn't really matter what linguists think. Language is consensus, not thesis papers.
They should, when it is illegal.
That is stating the obvious. I also had clearly explained in the above comment that why I believed it was state sponsored.

>Also, relations with the Chinese government have reached an extremely low point under Xi.

I can't claim what I said was true about this being state sponsored. It is what is known as a gut feeling.

Personally I see a counter point to my own point as I don't see any reason that in the past few months, we would have done anything to get Chinese aggression.

I also am open to the idea it is some troll who wanted the money they invested in Bitcoin to get a temporary bump which would be worse for Twitter IMO if one person on their laptop can do this.
