China is at risk of following Japan into stagnation. It is especially likely given the massive wave of manufacturing repatriation going on now. If China loses its position as the world's manufacturer, it will have to rely on its untested military strength to obtain resources to appease its restless population. Interesting times indeed.

Of course supply is adapted to anticipate this well known change in demand. But the driver for all of these is a culinary tradition causing a spike in demand*, it's not the other way around.

Either way, my only point is that since markets have special characteristics that make them unintuitive from a basic supply-demand analysis. Too many people assume the most basic models of basic economics are enough, and ignore things like supply and demand elasticity, and the fact that supply or demand may be constrained by non-economic factors.

I also tend to think the laws of supply and demand are useful as a descriptive model, but lack predictive power for many goods, since the factors above can't be estimated in blind - you have to actually see what people happen to do, and then come up with a model for elasticity to make the supply-demand curves fit the actual observations, you can't do it the other way around.

*To be fair, it may well be that the original tradition was caused by a natural change in supply, with sheep giving birth at the beginning of spring, so having edible lamb by mid spring when Easter (and the pre-Christian celebrations it replaced) haken; but even then, that was not an economic change, it was a biological reality.

xsugar is a similar solution (to a different problem): a mapping between a context free grammar and XML grammar, thus between text and XML.
https://www.brics.dk/xsugar/

XSugar makes it possible to manage dual syntax for XML languages. An XSugar specification is built around a context-free grammar that unifies the two syntaxes of a language. Given such a specification, the XSugar tool can translate from alternative syntax to XML and vice versa

I was slightly disappointed at the heavy use of sprite sheets (which seems less than "pure" css), but after looking closely there would be no way to get the gears right just relying on css transforms (i.e. rotation) because of the 3d and brushed metal look they wanted for the gears.

But yeah extremely impressive. I could do implement it if you gave me those sprite sheets and javascript easily enough, but wouldn't have any clue how to with css.
> With traditional coroutines, after an async operation completes, the language's runtime calls back into your code, and you actively call the next thing, "pushing" control flow down the pipe.

I mean, with "traditional" coroutines, it isn't the "language's runtime" which calls back into my code: it is whatever code completed the event. I get that the important part of this sentence is the interest in "push" vs. "poll", but this concept of the existence of a "language's runtime" is a bit strange to me, as my mental model of a coroutine doesn't involve a "runtime" and certainly doesn't involve an "executor".

Instead, in a "traditional" coroutine, a continuation-passing transform is implemented in the compiler that changes -- in the best case of having this wrapped up in a Monad (which Rust could really use support for right about now) -- "do A and then B" into "do A while telling A to call the continuation of B when it is done, and otherwise immediately return". B isn't a "runtime" and isn't the "language"; you could argue B is an "executor" but it is unique to every call.

So if you want a no-op A it would be "call the continuation it is passed, immediately". This would result in behavior identical to the original synchronous function: we call A, which does whatever it wanted to do (in this case nothing) and then it chains through to B". As the call to the continuation is in tail position for this case, the resulting behavior should work out to being nearly identical (like the CPU won't be able to branch predict this as efficiently, but it will have similar overhead).

In a more complex scenario, the function A is going to do something mysterious and later get a callback from something -- which you might call a "runtime" but which almost certainly isn't implemented by the "language" -- on some random background thread running an I/O loop, or maybe due to a signal / handler from the operating system, or whatever random mechanism it has in place to run code later (which again: isn't part of the "language") and it will run the continuation it was passed.

This does, likely, result in some heap allocation somewhere in order to type erase the continuation in the general case. However, this seems to only be due to how the asynchronous code has been given a harder challenge of dealing with arbitrarily deep stacks with minimal overhead, while people seem totally OK with synchronous code causing random stack overflows :/. If you are willing to relax that assumption a bit then you can elide that allocation almost every time.

Like: just writing normal synchronous code also involves heap allocations as you have to allocate the stack space for the next frame every call. You can elide that in many cases by pre-allocating a bunch of memory for the stack, but a sufficiently-deep call stack will overflow the memory you allocated and break in some potentially-catastrophic manner. It is a fiction that you can write essentially anything of consequence without either heap allocations or some fuzzy understanding by the developer of how hard they can push it until it breaks.

Immunity is likely long term. There was evidence of a bone marrow compartment formation after primary infection in the early days of the pandemic, maybe even as early as 2020. It continues to be supported.

Latest: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

"This work provides further evidence of sustained immune response in children up to 1 year after primary SARS-CoV-2 infection."

More details on the mechanism: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34030176 "Overall, our results indicate that mild infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces robust antigen-specific, long-lived humoral immune memory in humans."

Follow the science. There is no need to panic.
One conundrum is most companies with mature HR will in-house recruiting. So having your own representation doesn’t help you here, which removes a huge segment of the market.

The hiring manager is the actual buyer in the transaction anyway. The recruiter just gets you in front of the hiring manager. And since the manager can’t juggle inbound from dozens of randos it’s the recruiters job to source people.

In the end the closest you can get to this buyer is through your network or through a different angle entirely: consulting.

This is exactly why I think all the discussions about the importance of error handling paths (and the aversion drive have to exceptions) are usually overblown.

The most successful, and common, error handling strategy is to log and abandon the whole operation, cleaning up everything the operation left around. If you have one process per operation, this is often very well captured by doing exit() at the place of the error. If you don't, then exceptions are the best approximation of this pattern - much better than result types or error codes, which litter your code with irrelevant error handling details.

Coronaviruses are know to change very quickly and this is why they escape immunity. Tech is not magic and won't change that fact of life. A universal coronavirus vaccine is a pipe dream.

Didn't the FDA release like 60k pages of those documents a couple months ago? I know Pfizer didn't want that, but people are forgetting before COVID mRNA medicine was a holy grail. So much so a lot of groups didn't pursue it since they saw it as a pipe dream. COVID's greatest gift was causing massive influxes of research dollars into them and most likely fast tracking these new drugs 15 years. mRna will literally be part of the new wave of medicine starting that will cure cancer. And it's odd to you that Pfizer doesn't want to post all their research data online? With the FDA or CDC they can be assured of data containment.

And let's be honest....an mRNA vaccine has some fats, sugars, and salts in it. The magic is in the programming to work with your body and it's immune system. I've heard some insane personalized interpretations of basic organic chemistry on the vaccine topic before (please know not saying you, referencing past discussions with others) about how vaccines loaded with poisons and caused all kinds of issues. And with an mRNA vaccine's ingredient list reading like an organic snack know what all those people said instead? An mRNA vaccine will alter your DNA because youtube told them so.

These are also the people that said they understood Particle Physics better then myself or any source I cited, because I was too full of myself to acknowledge that when I said non-ionizing radiation I was ignoring the radiation part...which is how 5G was the true cause of COVID19. Then they told me I was a poster boy for what education does to someone....because I lacked the common sense to recognize the dangers of the radiation part in non-ionizing radiation. Never mind he was arguing with me surrounded by technology saturating him with that very same harmless radiation.

I told those examples to make a point...releasing all of that data won't change the first person's mind. They'll simply shift their position or do like they did with the whole autism debate and say they're right and anything saying differently is obviously part of a larger conspiracy of people who don't care about patient health. Over 20,000 people are hospitalized and 3,000 dead every year from aspirin due to anaphylaxis or bleeds. That's not really reported because anyone who expects every single human on the planet to have zero negative reaction to a drug every time is setting unrealistic expectations as a cheap way to try to prove their right. We've had roughly (last time I checked several months ago) a couple of dozen verified deaths relating to the vaccine since roll out and all those had genetic conditions that caused it.

Point is, every scrap of that data can hit the net tonight and the only thing that would change is we'd wake up to the new laughable "they are using it to track you" or "It's going to force gender change in men!" rumors tomorrow. Meaning, 99% of the people who'd (skim) read that data are the kind of people who'd tell me I was a moron because I wasn't getting that non-ionizing radiation is still radiation and is nuking us all.

JS's typing is weaker than Python's, but Python still has a relatively weak type system - particularly in old-style classes as GP was showing (class foo(object)-style classes fix those problems, or at least some of them) EDIT: I was wrong about new-style classes fixing this. Other dynamic languages are stronger than both - for example Common Lisp.

>Muffley:

I'm afraid I don't understand something, Alexiy. Is the Premier threatening to explode this if our planes carry out their attack?

DeSadeski:

No sir. It is not a thing a sane man would do. The doomsday machine is designed to to trigger itself automatically.

Muffley:

But surely you can disarm it somehow.

DeSadeski:

No. It is designed to explode if any attempt is ever made to untrigger it.

Muffley:

Automatically?

Turgidson:

Ahh.. it's an obvious commie trick, Mr. President. walks backwards towards the big board We're wasting valuable time. falls over backwards and does a somersault, and brings himself back onto his feet Look at the big board! They're getting ready to clobber us!

Muffley:

But this is absolute madness, ambassador. Why should you build such a thing?

DeSadeski:

There are those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. And at the same time our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we'd been spending on defense in a single year. But the deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.

Muffley:

This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.

DeSadeski:

Our source was the New York Times.

Muffley:

Dr. Strangelove, do we have anything like that in the works?

Stains and Turgidson, who have been listening to Muffley and DeSadeski Stains' station at the round table, slowly turn their heads in search of Strangelove.

Strangelove:

in wheelchair A moment please, Mr. President. stomps one foot on the tile floor, pushes back from the table and begins wheeling towards the discussion between Muffley and DeSadeski. Under the authority granted me as director of weapons research and development, I commissioned last year a study of this project by the Bland corporation. Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent, for reasons which, at this moment, must be all too obvious.

Muffley:

Then you mean it is possible for them to have built such a thing?

Strangelove:

carefully plucks cigarette from his shaking right hand, which is in a black glove Mr. President, the technology required is easily within the means of even the smallest nuclear power. It requires only the will to do so.

Muffley:

But, how is it possible for this thing to be triggered automatically, and at the same time impossible to untrigger?

Strangelove:

Mr. President, it is not only possible, it is essential. That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy... the fear to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision making process which rules out human meddling, the doomsday machine is terrifying. It's simple to understand. And completely credible, and convincing.

Turgidson:

Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines...

I’m quite doubtful about your theory that there is a conspiracy of wealthy Americans to reframe issues as race issues. It’s plausible, but without evidence I find it counter intuitive.

What are we supposed to garner from looking at the parent companies of media assets? Time Warner owns CNN, Comcast owns nbc, etc… so what?

Much simpler explanation is that “Critical race theory” and similar veins of thought which view issues in terms of race at the expense of class were not born out of the media but from academia. Most journalists are highly educated and thus often have an academic viewpoint.

Anecdotal, but just from journalists I know, they are universally idealists, and I suspect that is common for journalists. The idea that they’re publishing narratives for the super rich seems far fetched.
