Electric heating? Do you mean resistive heating, or heat pumps? It's been difficult in this discussion to figure out what people are saying.
The tang ping moment to some degree validates that quality of life has at least plateaued for many, or that the effort involved to further improve QOL isn't worth it. However, that problem doesn't seem unique to China, and other countries are starting at a higher baseline standard of living.
There's several industries that employ noses and I'm suddenly very curious how they insure those employees, especially now that anosmia and parosmia are so much more common
Last time I took a peek at it, they were changing up the order of the letters in “Sponsored” in the HTML and using some front end shenanigans to reposition the letters to spell out the word. Pretty devious, but I do wish we were spending mankind’s geniuses on this kind of thing.
Linq is a bit more wordy, and SQL is sadly not very composable.
I worry more about the price of the he individuals who made that call.
All air taxi services are targeted toward affluent customers, not the middle class. That's just the nature of the industry. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad business plan — Ferrari does pretty well targeting those customers. But even if the industry is viable that doesn't mean Lillium will succeed.
This is scary, especially how Apple gained access to her personal iMessage messages to use against her. I'm sure that a such a long-standing culture of secrecy has allowed some nasty things to fester.
Don't take this to mean I support china or think everything is roses over there, but that channel is simply propaganda. Genorously 40% of it is valid criticism, but if someone in china stubs a toe they will make a 30 minute video about the unsafe furniture epidemic.
I'm surprised HN is full of knee jerk assumption without first checking what the government required disclosure policy is.

Here it is: Verify. Report to 'vendor'. Immediately. Report to government including an analysis within 2 days.

"current electricity and gas prices"? Those vary.

> They only make sense in places that need cooling too, or when electricity gets cheaper.

Heat pumps are used way farther north in the US since I was a kid, including (now) in places that don't need cooling.
Not to be confused with https://github.com/circonus-labs/fq, the message queue.
Guess my kids will have to be social rejects when they are teenagers.
This is something I'm hoping will change with the introduction of Generics. Right now using any custom data structures like immutable map or lists are very cumbersome requiring either code generation or runtime type coercion via `interface{}`.

Go espouses "Share by communicating, don't communicate by sharing" i.e. don't let goroutines communicate by mutating shared data, but then doesn't provide any effective immutable data structures to make this easy.

Being able to safely send pointers to immutable maps over channels would make go very nice to work with. Although I'll never use Go outside of work until they remove nullable pointers which seems unlikely.
Most debt in the US can be discharged through bankruptcy. Student loans that are bankruptcy proof are a gift from the government in the last 30 years.

The entire tone of your post would be different if you realized that it’s like the game Jurassic Park, not the movie, because you can start over whenever you lose. The way to win in the US is lots of tries, not guaranteed wins.

I have friends visiting Xinjiang and talked with local people, Uyghur and non Uyghurs. There is no evidence that supports the 1M number. You can watch a lot of YouTube video of people visiting Xinjiang and the local people. Make your own judgement.

LineageOS+MicroG or GrapheneOS. I'm using Lineage right now without any material compromises, though it did take some effort to set up. Once it's setup though, it works like any other phone, but without apple or google trash on it.
This is great. Already bookmarked 10+ sites in the first few minutes of using this site. How does it work / how are the links curated?
Same experience here, one spammer DOSing my site, always with similar patterns. I'm already behind Cloudflare and use https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blo... but I still have to identify and block them manually, which is annoying and a waste of time. Some IP-range blocks affected users so it's not fine grained enough. I wish I could identify, expose and sue them into oblivion, but the internet is too international and anonymous for this to be feasible. I also had to limit some site functionality because of this.
You can also connect two VMUs together - without the host system - to play games against another person or transfer saves.
You would think Apple, the company that makes the platform which enables all this, would be held accountable too. But people turn a blind eye to their false claims of a secure platform.

The Lillium aircraft has no glide slope at all. It has wings, but there are no control surfaces to maintain a glide in case of power loss.
In 2011 (April) at a Baltimore Hackathon I unsuccessfully pitched the same idea that is Codeacademy (Codacademy launched in June, July or August i think) for others to join/help me work on. Later creating CodePupil(dot)com but like everything I started it was pretty much solo and within a few years would lose steam.

My comment is more so to tell others never to give up or at least try not to. Many who don't see great reward ...monetarily or as Zach is seeing here and has seen people being gracious for helping them learn an invaluable skill/changing and enriching their lives.
There was a similar trick used for compressing game backgrounds in Commodore 64 games.

The compressor would create a special font (C64 "charsets" are 8x8 pixels), and slice the picture into 8x8 tiles where each block corresponds to an ASCII character. Although C64's hires resolution was 320x200 (160x200 in multicolor mode), because of repeating blocks it would usually end up using less than 256 characters. The actual background would then be drawn using those characters with the special font. There is no eager decompression involved.
If that were true here in the USA my bill would go from $200 in the winter to $2000. I could afford that but poor people would just have to turn off the heat and suffer and some of them die, so this seems..... like there's more to the story.
This was one of those things I saw as a kid just learning about tech that got me interested in parallel processing, high-performance computing, beowulf clusters. It struck me as odd that seemingly nobody but a few academics were probing how we could take collections of random hardware and turn them into giant generic computing factories to run arbitrary applications on at any scale.

It turns out that in order to do that, you sort of had to reinvent how software works. While that was possible, it was hard enough that only very few developers tried to tackle it (SSI clusters, mostly). So somebody else figured out that rather than do all that really hard work that would take years to get right, you could just start your program 100 times on 100 different computers and send each a random request, with all of them using one database and a lot of caching. Poof: "web-scale" is born, and around the same time, a bookseller started providing APIs and renting hardware.

It is 20 years later and we are still using the same architecture.
I mean, I've also got friends there and speak the language to some extent now. It's not like I walked in on some sanitized tour for a day and left.

The country has problems. But it's not a prison camp of 1.4 billion like the internet would make you think. Most people are pretty happy living there, even people who've been to other countries.

It's definitely not a good place to be a political or religious activist. Most countries outside of the EU aren't and China is definitely on the worse end when it comes to that issue, but it's pretty nice for most people.
I just wanted to second the recommendation for the pixel 4a. I do a lot of work on my phone so it ended up being a bit too small for me, but it was definitely: inexpensive, had a nice camera, and was very portable. Also Google Fi has been really helpful for someone like me who takes a lot of overseas trips, really removes the headache from having to hunt down a sim without a working phone in a foreign country.
I don't see why arrows must start at the middle of an edge. Sometimes multiple arrows from an edge look better if the end points are spaced apart (to emphasise the connectivity visually, for example). There are times when an arrow is positioned just on the inside of a corner, depending on what it is connected to and the angle of the arrow with respect to the edge.

In the final analysis, one should strive to get a visually balanced look, which takes into account placement, thickness of lines, density of information etc. There is no one-size fits all.
The way I’ve dealt with this kinda of stuff and still make the day to day development experience not deteriorate is to spend the upfront time deigning good self-contained non-leaky abstractions and then hiding all your rule-breaking code behind them.

I’ve used the *-able pattern with pretty good success. Let your devs mark functions as retryable, cacheable, etc. and then centralize the code that manages the caches and retry logic.

It should not be hard to automatically convert code using such generics libraries to use specialized type-specific code instead for better performance.
"reproducible by default" if the system is setup a certain way.

Build time injected into builds would absolutely break any reproducibility.
That's about how I remember the Saturn being; at first you couldn't find it anywhere, then it was hard to tell the difference than the Sega CD which I had just gotten, then it was expensive and lastly there wasn't much games for it. I think the only time I really saw it was years later as a display at Toys'r'us showing off "Nights into Dreams" and then it was just kinda forgotten about.

Meanwhile the Dreamcast I had one friend who had one, but I also remember how everyone had a PS2, I remember the backwards comparability and launch titles were what sealed it. I'm the type that would have picked it up a few years later but it kinda always felt like the best games never left Japan for it, and then it was just kinda gone before you knew it.
You can just put the dependencies in the same folder in most cases.
Same here. I always make sure I have the cash on hand to pay for debt if I'm somehow out of income, but if I can get a 0% interest rate on a TV (or, more practically, the $4000 bed I bought a few years ago since I don't quite understand what the difference between my $500 TV and a $5000 TV is other than marketing)... I can put that money into an index fund and have it grow instead.

I think this kind of highlights the issues that GP was pointing out though. I have stellar credit so I qualify for amazing rates. Folks who are perpetually in debt and don't have great credit will always have the worst rates. Being poor is expensive.
China just doesn't try to hide it
Indeed strace doesn't lie but you have yet to provide an example of a system where what you're saying about cat is true. You've shown a number of examples which do not actually back up the claim you are making, and have not responded to other posters pointing out the flaws in the examples you did provide.

I'm genuinely curious to see an implementation but I suspect you've misunderstood something in the past and your statement was incorrect.
Im not trying to stop the world from spinning. The sterile exchanges have their value.

The thing to reflect on is who you are: You are to some extend the way others see or experience you. The way you carry yourself or present yourself depends a lot on that perception.

You've changed into an entirely different creature communicating like this. We all have! All parts of humanity have changed as a rssult with huge implications.

I suppose I wish I wanted to go back. I'm still trying to figure out where we are and where we are going with this. If I wanted to go back it would mean I had that all figured out.

We get to bring non of our expensive cloths or other status symbols to the conversation, no race, sex, age, violence, leverage or accountability.

The diffence is mind blowing.

The HN kangaroo court is already hilarious but the trial by robots is many times more commical. People now build their lives on platforms that may erase them at any moment for no reason at all.

Is everything I wrote here advertiser friendly or constructive for the HN tech crusade to progress? I've never had such constrains on my personality. A new world where being generous, kind and helpfull simply isnt enough?

I could go on for days but im going to have to attend to the push notifications now. haha
Surely you can see there's some difference in magnitude here, right? Which one does it more?

And even if the end result has some overlap, there's a bit of an ethical difference between:

* developing an exploit that you keep quiet

* preventing others from talking about exploits they discover
Unfortunately the site doesn't seem to offer a portable version of wine and wine is not included by default in most operating systems

It would still be inconvenient though compared to not needing wine
Shein is a Chinese company itself, so they wouldn't really be hypocritical here. Is it better or worse than an American company profiting off of Chinese goods at the expensive of American worker/economy and environment? I guess we could just keep the goods all out, but the distributors aren't going to survive if it is allowed and they don't do it.
My mom had a heart attack about a month ago and while the hospital system in Seattle isn't hitting the redline of having to triage, the level of care you get is definitely lower than what I've seen in the past and its very busy all the time. You're going to have to put on your best "can I talk to your manager" level of aggressively trying to get through the system. Everyone there is overloaded and burned out from what I could see. Normal rates of influenza in the winter don't do this.
They are copies of brands that pay designers and the materials are often synthetic trash that look good.
Ethically, it’s not the same.
As a casual gamer it has everything I need. Steam is "good enough" to satiate that gaming bug that I get every couple of months for something new. I'm still not sure if the top 10% of gamers would find it sufficient though.
It’s interesting how people work. Seeing that section of the readme with a laundry list of alternatives made me want to try fq even more. It tells you that the author actually cares about the problem space.
Pretty sure H&M is not a US brand given all the H&M shops I saw in Europe long before I saw any in the USA. According to Wiki, they are Swedish. They also have stores in China.
> And in this case, it is a blatant mis-use of averages and "standardized testing" for ideological reasons, brought in by a gov't that had a vendetta against the teachers union.

And my response was that if we added more information and made it a statistically valid comparison, a "non-misuse" of data if you will, they would be even less likely to support it. Because it would show even more clearly that they are not successful at their jobs.

These institutions do not want transparency and they've managed to argue an unfalsifiable position: that teachers are good and there's no reasonable way to measure how good they are, so stop trying.
the problem is that the US is not just "not perfect" the US is a weird twist between a "first world"(1) state and a failing state. Between being a bacon of democracy, and a country you can't rely call full democratic anymore.

(1) I don't like the terminology but it convais the point.

---

To elaborate:
For something between 15% and 50% of the population the US is a failing state, failing in healthcare, economics/job availability, safety, chances to get the right you have by law, political representation, protection for governmental/police overreach, projection from company overreach, ..

Also a political system which in practice only allow a two parties is fundamentally non-democratic (more like oligarchy).

To name some points. (There are more).

Sure, China is way worse wrt. many of the points mentioned above.

Which puts the EU in quite a bit of trouble it's in different ways dependent on both the US and China, but at the same time many of it's values do not sign with either of them and both try (in different ways) to force some of their views on the EU.
I tried Io during my undergraduate coursework. The language was my introduction to prototypical OOP. Compared to class-based OOP, I found prototypes conceptually simpler and my program architecture less rigid. They naturally lend themselves to an "organic" approach of modeling.

I later learned JavaScript and was extremely disappointed by its lackluster handling of prototypes. What's unfortunate is most programmers don't have experience with prototypes outside of JavaScript and I'm sorry to say its poor implementation of them has left a bad impression on the engineering mindshare. This ultimately culminated with ES6 introducing classes to replace what should have been the conceptually simpler and more flexible system.

Io is worth exploring, even if it's just out of curiosity. I'd especially recommend it to anyone whose only experience with prototypes is JavaScript.
Yeah, China's currently sitting at 1.3 children born per woman -- just like Italy or Spain, which are often cited as the EU "crisis" numbers.

This number is even worse than it appears though, since there are so many more men than women to begin with, thanks to the history of sex-selective abortion in the country. 12 million Chinese women were never born because their parents wanted a son instead of a daughter, and that's an extra 1.3 x 12 = 16 million children that will be missing from the next generation.

China's population is actually predicted to start shrinking in about 5 years.
Kinda weird, remember my 4:3 in portrait mode fondly. 16:10 might be decent.
Japanese legal system is a bit like a car with missing trim pieces that were to be installed before the sale. Like you are supposed to be able to place your hands on the middle of the dashboard in rough roads, but in this car you have to carefully hold at edges, gloved. There seems to be law texts and systems which intent or behavior or actions to be taken is only clear with the knowledge of legal systems in other nations.
>That's not how fire alarm drills work though.

You seem to be stuck on this part still.
Surely you can see that they're all bad actors, undermining the software and infrastructure that we all use, putting our systems and our data at risk through their grubby actions and even their grubby inaction, right?

I don't care which bunch of spies does it more. I don't want spies doing it at all.
What to Look for When Evaluating a Container Registry Solution
Just to augment/explain what others are saying:

* Liberalizing birth restrictions can't have any effect on the number of workers until ~20 years later, and in practice much later than that.

* Once the population pyramid has begun to invert, you have fewer people of childbearing age. Reversing the policy cannot replace the children who were not born a few years ago to families who are now beyond the point of seriously considering more children.

* In practice, once having fewer children is socially normalized, it's difficult to have a larger family going forward, and...

* Once you have a severely inverted population pyramid, the cost of supporting elders increases and the economic situation of those of working age deteriorates, which tends to further suppress births.

It takes a long time for these trends to reverse.
Thanks will do! Also, your post would have saved me a bunch of time a few years back. Gj.

> wasn’t Google started with servers bought by maxing out a credit card at similar interest rates?

This is some sort of fallacy, but I don't know the name of it.

Anyway, as a counter point, I'm here from an alternative reality where we instead instituted this law limiting APR a year before google started. Google still managed to buy servers despite the law (I think that story's apocryphal, but even if it's true, they just got them at lower interest rates or got like 2 fewer servers and google was slower for a few months).

However, in this alternate future, there's also another company that did a lot of really good things founded by someone who in this reality ended up the victim of a payday loan, penniless, and is still struggling with the after effects of declaring personal bankruptcy. His even-better-company didn't happen.

Do you sorta see what I'm trying to say here?

Maybe the fallacy is just a bias towards some specific vaguely related anecdotes over data? The sorta "I agree in general drunk driving is bad, but doesn't Steve Ballmer actually drives better while drunk so maybe it's too broad of a brush to outlaw it?"
A higher degree of oversight by government than we want these days and less individual variability without personal effort: more handmade sewed goods.

Frankly there isn't much alternative.
I love that we can dig into rom images from 30 years ago and recreate sprite sheets that were originally hand drawn for something that was an important part of our culture. What more I love that Fabien actually does it and shows us how it's done.
