What do you mean by kid friendly? I lived in central, urban Tokyo (Minato) for several years and found raising kids was way easier than where we live now (Bay Area). There were several parks within 10m of where we lived and each neighborhood has a community center with a very nice indoor play area for rainy or cold days. I found businesses to be more children friendly than in the US. Several businesses, both large and small, in our area would have well maintained child seats and silverware for children.

The only thing I like better about where we live now is the much higher salary (even with cost of living) and the access to outdoor activities. You'd have to take a train at least an 1.5 hours away to get to larger green spaces in Tokyo. Arguably, this might be more convenient for those that don't like driving but getting several kids ready and babysitting them on a long train ride is a bit difficult.
"Shenzhen and Guangzhou are still attracting entrepreneurial types, producing an even more commercially-oriented culture than Shanghai. But while Shenzhen is pleasant, it is also a boring city with minimal culture. A friend relates an anecdote from a gallery artist, who said that clients in Shenzhen rarely comment on the art that they plan to buy. Instead they ask only its expected price in five years."

This is a bit dated (2015 ?) but I was wandering around Shenzhen very late at night. After midnight. I came across a Lamborghini dealership and I thought it was noteworthy.

Then I noticed that it was open.
Could you leave us a git issue on terminology you don't understand? We've tried to make the documentation in the code to make it clearer to non-biologists what is going on (for example, https://github.com/TimothyStiles/poly/blob/prime/seqhash/seq...), but we're honestly too deep to really understand what is not known and how to explain nicely what is going on. If you could help us with asking naive questions that'd help us write a nice primer (which is very useful, since we'd like to recruit more software engineers rather than biologists).

Couldn't agree more - love visual studio (on windows), and vs code even more (lighter weight, but less features) when I am on a mac or ubuntu.

Also use Visual Studio on the Mac - that one I could agree is terrible - but hope it will improve over time.

Probably helps that I have used every version of VS since it was released - so like anything else, if you are used to it and use it every day for 20+ years you become biased - but for C# programming, imo, nothing even comes close.
As mentioned in a different post, he completely missed video games. For example, Pokémon is the highest-grossing media franchise in the world. Many game companies are headquartered in Japan such as Nintendo, Sony, and Square Enix. So when taking that into account, it absolutely changes the original post's point. He also mentioned how he's not really into video games (I don't really count age as a factor for this anymore because video games have been around for a couple of decades already).

The more interesting question out of this particular discussion, though, is this: are video games part of culture? I absolutely agree that it is, but the fact that neither you nor the original post brought it up tells me that it is not for a certain percentage of the HN crowd here.

Myocarditis.

I know several mothers squeamish on risking their children to continual rolling of the dice w.r.t the mRNA vector vaccines. Also, I can unequivocally state that no other vaccine have I ever seen that has to be continually boosted to maintain it's efficacy, which sounds to me like a deficiency in memory cell formation. The bigger issue there, is that in spite of that being an interesting quirk of these vaccines to do research on, no one will, because having "this year's model" of vaccine is a jackpot to Pharmaceutical companies. Dat Annual Recurring Revenue producing nothing but upsides for them.

-New repeatably, and reliably recurring business
-Relaxed or increasingly streamlined approval processes to be lobbied for the next time they want to sneak something through

And the downsides being safely (to them) externalizable

-increased attrition of horseshoe crab populations and concomitant environmental knock-on effects
-accumulating social costs in the damage done by implementing the infrastructure for implementing things like vaccine passports, which can be adapted to non-public health use cases.

I mean, I get where you're coming from. However, I've researched the supply chains, and the stuff that is relied upon for QC'ing this stuff (horseshoe crab blood) is not inexhaustible, and the incentives we're manufacturing are not at all ideal. Just because you've stopped analyzing the problem at the physiological effects on the patient does not mean there isn't reason for concern. Everything is interconnected.
You haven't been paying attention, I suppose. The cost per watt of solar panels continues to drop exponentially, as optimizations continue and production continues to scale up. Breakthrough research announcements like this happen often, and only a handful of such announcements will ever make it to production. But improvements certainly /are/ making it into production, and lowering LCOE steadily.

Here's an example graph, with both solar and battery costs:
https://greentechlead.com/renewable-energy/cost-for-onshore-...

And compared to fossil fuels:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelized_cost_of_energy#/medi...

(LOTS of people think about renewable prices as they were ten years ago instead of where they are now or where they may be in five years. This means lots of people simply have wrong priors about the relative cost of different energy sources. This is expected: People don't intuitively adapt to exponential change.)
I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at? That's the point of the `feature` and `patch` version numbers. If you want you can put a 4th or 5th number in there as well to fit whatever uses you have.

Perhaps you're missing what I meant by 'increasing' - it's just a 1:1 conversion of the version number to a single integer, it's not like you're assigning every version a new number. 3.9.3 would become something like 3009003, and 3.10.1 would become 3010001. If you compare those representations then 3010001 always compares higher, and there's also nothing preventing you from releasing 3.9.3 after 3.10.1.

My point was that doing a format like the above (major, 3 digit minor, 3 digit patch) is not fundamentally different from storing each individual number as it's own integer, which most version libraries I've seen do at some point. The problem is just that the range of each number is restricted significantly by requiring 3 digits rather than if you used individual 32-bit or 16-bit integers for each one.

> than just cinema

That's the thing, Japanese cinema back in the '50s-'70s was pure art: Mizoguchi, Ozu, Oshima, Naruse, Misumi (my favorite), Kinji Fukasaku, Seijun Suzuki (even though you could say he was more on the "entertainment" side) were defining the cultural norm for many in the world. The same goes for the Italian and French cinematographies that I had mentioned.
This must be because you haven't seen the AN-225!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya
I know less about SK and Taiwan, but for Japan I think you're looking at it quite narrowly.

Others have mentioned videogames, where Japan is more influential than all of Europe combined, this being the biggest (by revenue) cultural industry by far.

In literature then, Japan has one of the most popular still-living authors in the world, Haruki Murakami.

Japanese cuisine and culinary design (pottery, tea paraphernalia) is extremely influential everywhere in the world - with some amount of mix up with Chinese symbolism, to be fair. Japanese visual designs are influential in fashion.

It's true that in cinema and music Japan's influence is small and even shrinking (especially given that they had titans like Akira Kurosawa). But Japanese culture is still an item if fascination and influence in much of the world.
You can certainly sort a string, but I think there are valid reasons to avoid it if possible. What they shouldn't be doing is trying to shove it into a single 32-bit integer - if they parsed it into separate integers for each of the individual parts (like a simple date representation would do) then the issue would go away. Whether it's worth that extra work to avoid the string comparison is debatable, but if they go on to mask out parts of the version number and look at them individually (Ex. Only the year, or only the revision number) than it would probably be worth it to just do all the parsing upfront and avoid any messing with strings after that.
And that is why I always roll my eyes when a journalist uses the weight of a jet airplane to "translate" the weight of some heavy object. Airplanes are surprisingly light compared to their size. One cannot pick up an airplane[1] just like that so most doesn't realise this.

I've always wanted to try Runequest- I hadn't heard of Mythras, I'll have a look. Thank you for the suggestions!
The analysis is also questionable - Latin was used to disseminate information as widely as possible because Rome was based on Latin. It was used because of the expense of paper/time and the fact it required a lifetime to copy slowly by hand.

After the Roman Empire, the Church worked to translate it into the working language of the common man so they could all have access in the local church where it was stored. Education levels at the time were low so few could read…
But it doesn't have first-class support like in Neovim.

Depends how you look at it. Cosmic radiation might not be extremely high level on the sea level, but it is a thing. So the total radiation dosis in a nuclear submarine might equal or even be less than on the surface.

Fun story: as part of my physics education we did an experiment on the cosmic radiation with a "radiation" telescope. That were 2 Geiger counters with a logic that only registered events which basically occured in both counters at the same time. That made the observation reasonably detectable and you could "see" the sun with this. This experiment was conducted indoors, just on the top floor of the building. We had about 1 event/second, our bodies would be getting a similar dosis all the time.
>>without ReSharper I find VS to be a terrible experience

Resharper was always one of my favorite must have utilities to use for C# development in VS - but I have had the opposite experience as you, it became so slow and so bloated I had to give it up - often spiking my CPU to 100% and making the entire solution unusable - until I uninstalled it.

Never could figure out why, but maybe resharper has gotten better since then?
> China does not have any kind of coherent regional policy

I am not sure your basis for this. The presence of the policy itself is effective in guiding the human mind and interests, also broadcast certain information national wide. The policy is comboed with fiscal policy, i.e., easier loan for the designated sectors. And more effective use of nationally-owned enterprises, research facilities, etc.

Of course, policy needs to be realistic by matching the regional characteristics. As you said, one cannot industrilize the inner cities first, because the global economy is centered on marine transportation, so naturally it starts from Shanghai and guangdong, which are close to sea ports. But that does not make the policy less coherent. It just means that the policy is sensible and meaningful.

Back then, chatty Apis like MFC made wizards and code generation almost a requirement for doing anything useful. Putting a window on screen required the equivalent of rendering with Vulkan today.

Many countries outside of Europe cooperate with it. Within Europe such non-EU controlled agreements are legacy and have been replaced over time with EU controlled institutions and agreements.

The UK tried many times to come up with some sort of compromise agreement or continued collaboration on various topics, but the EU never accepted them, always with some statement about "cherry picking" or how "Europe is not a la carte". In other words, totalitarianism: either you obey us in all respects, or we don't work together on anything.

In practice this was not a realistic policy position and the Commission has been forced into a series of reversals or dropping of its more extreme ideas especially around finance. But their position was clear at the time.
Yes, thanks! Much appreciated. Made a todo to check out the repo when I'm on my laptop again :).

This may not be so true.

Remember comparative value, which is a real thing.

China had very cheap labour that the US could never compete with.

China made outrageous amounts of stuff, and stocks Wallmart and Amazon shelves with it.

In my own lifetime, I have seen a seismic shift in material consumption of Americans, mostly for the better: the quantity, variety, quality of goods and even foodstuffs in a Wallmart today - cheap and accessible to most Americans - would blow someone from 1975 away.

The giant piece missing from the economic equations is 'consumer surplus' which is the 'profit' that consumers derive. When consumers get more choice, more quality and lower prices, they are making huge 'profits' that we simply don't put in the equations. Consumer Surpluses have been massive for the West.

At least for low-end manufacturing, it's been a massive neoliberal win-win.

Obviously, the storyline is changing, and for more advanced products it's a different issue. But for most things so far, it's 'good' trade.

COVID is far less dangerous than in 2020, but it is still a problem - it's not just a "media thing". COVID is still powerful enough to fill our hospitals past their ability to cope, and also we have enough uncertainty about long COVID that it's better to minimize infections. So we are not yet back to normalcy.

Why is COVID still that dangerous? Not enough people are vaccinated, and not enough use masks (especially not good masks like N95s), and new variants are making things difficult.

It is plausible that during 2022 we do return to something close to normal. But it depends on those three factors.

VS isn't all too shabby, they've been shaping up recently. But it certainly isn't the best, or even among the better, in my opinion. Even the file editor is pretty weak compared to other editors IMO.
There’s a book called the Sovereign Individual co-written by William Rees Mogg - he picked up the moniker “Mystic Mogg” in his lifetime on account of his penchant for predictions that turned out false (but he’s probably more likely to be known today as the father of UK politician Jacob Rees Mogg).

The book’s central thesis is an expansion of the ideas in TFA. He predicted something like bitcoin in the book and opined on how a supranational currency would inevitably lead to something of an anarcho-capitalist existance. He spends a lot of pages on the loss of nation’s monopoly on violence.

https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Sovereign_Individ...

In his view, countries would ultimately be forced to bid for citizens to choose to put down roots there. The would become more akin to privately owned and run civic service enterprises.

For what it’s worth, i finished the book thinking he underestimated the desire for many humans to live near where they were born but i was impressed that he predicted bitcoin about 30 years ahead of its time.
Talking just about the title since the contents of the article are about as relevant as a discussion of Java 1 nowadays. No.
