Well, not exactly allied, but China is a much more real and immediate threat to Viet Nam than the US are. Viet Nam isn't going to be a strategic threat to the US any day, and they have aligned interests in the South China Sea (East Sea for VN). The communist government in VN isn't that "bad" all things considered (heavy quotes). The country could grow in prominence and never become big enough to threaten the US's dominant position.

VN and China have been in constant conflict over the sea they share, and their respective commercial and government ships have been in low intensity skirmishes. VN wants to have access to the seas and be able to extract petrol from there. China wants a clear frontyard to be able to protect their economy and trade. VN is too small to do much about China's navy, but with help from the US, it's a different story. In addition, China did try to invade VN right after the US-VN war, and VN remains highly suspicious of China. Hystorically, VN was a vassal state to China (like Korea) and given the trajectory of things and how China talks to their neighbours, it sure sounds like they plan on treating VN (and everyone else) as vassal states once again if and when they come back to world dominance.

From the US side of things, shifting manufacturing to VN is a way to divest from China. And VN workers/trades are quite skilled, so the products themselves are not bad at all.

So while the VN communist party can't just erase their origin story out from one day to the next and remove all the anti-US propaganda, the geopolitics reality is that VN and the US are naturally aligned against China. And similarly, the VN war was a huge cultural shock for the US and you can't just erase that from people's mind. But then pragmatism is that modern day US and VN's interest are a lot more aligned than they're misaligned. In fact aside for the whole history (conflict), political system (capitalist/communist) and governance stuff (freedom & democracy/authoritarian and single party), I think the US and VN don't have much in term of hurdles. The VN population mostly likes US folks (ignoring drunken bravado) and the US has a large VN diaspora and a guilt trip about the VN war.
Your link seems broken, but by googling I think I found the video on youtube.

Is this the same one that says "1 Billion people will be displaced by climate change"?

Because, that seems like a prediction of what might happen in the future, rather than a wishlist item of Bill Gates and the rest of the Pentaverat.

The video seems to be a very brief summary of this process:

JS apps nowadays have so many layers that often something breaks over time or if you run it with the wrong version of node.

Frontend post react is an absolute nightmare:
My experience with a fleet of semi abandoned next.js static websites is pretty terrible: just in months something stops working in my pipeline on vercel and I need to spend time to debug it. Running things locally is even worse, I just change the code, push and hope for the best.

Python is a downright nightmare: between 2vs3 and pip, egg, venv, I usually just salvage the code I need and try to make it work or convert it to something saner (eg. I did that with an opencv algorithm I found - I just transposed it to rust + the same opencv api calls). My favourite story happened literally 2 days ago. I was trying to install a dependency (keras_ocr) and I kept failing on some dependency; I tried installing that dependency manually and it worked but no success on installing keras_ocr. Eventually I updated pip and it started working.

I had huge problems running old Go software, I think I succeeded once after a lot of pain and gave up the other times.

I had fairly good results with ancient C, C++, Java and Haskell.

I assume their wrists are held up like that because in the real world, everybody is holding up their controllers. Maybe they're all sitting at their desks in this call and are resting their hands on their desks with the controllers in hand?

These all seem like basic UX and aesthetic issues that someone could've seen early on and corrected. If nobody caught these issues, then that's troubling. Or, if somebody caught them but couldn't do anything about them, that's also troubling.
That's just a complaint, not a realistic proposal for change. The reality is that in the US, there is a broad and stable political consensus in favor of ever stricter AML enforcement. This is perceived as reducing tax evasion, sanctions evasion, terrorism, and organized crime. It may not be 100% effective but it obviously has some effect. Only a small fraction of voters and campaign donors are negatively impacted so there is little political resistance.
This is completely counter to all my experience.

Computer code is an inherently brittle thing, and the smallest errors tend to cascade into system crashes. Showstopper bugs are generated from off-by-one errors, incorrect operation around minimum and maximum values, a missing semicolon or comma, etc.

And doing sanity check on function inputs addresses only a small proportion of bugs.

I don't know what kind of programming you do, but the idea that a wrong function becomes inconsequential in a larger system... I feel like that just never happens unless the function was redundant and unnecessary in the first place. A wrong function brings down the larger system feels like the only kind of programming I've ever seen.

Physical unit tolerances don't seem like a useful analogy in programming at all. At best, maybe in sysops regarding provisioning, caches, API limits, etc. But not for code.
I mean kinda. You're seeing the result of people doing their best to create equity with a system they only control a teeny tiny part of. The boil the pond equitable solution would be to make HS optional and disallow discrimination on the basis of having a diploma [1]. The boil the ocean solution is to reorganize schools around actual learning instead of a treadmill of pointless tests. Literally no kid needs these tests, they are for the benefit of school administrators and politicians to have easy to quantify metric that they're doing the bare minimum.

What would you do if you were on the state exam board and you realize that your state's education system is failing huge swaths of the kids in your state but then turning it around and saying that's the kids' problem, and there is nothing you can do to actually affect the underlying problem? They don't have the political capital to eliminate the tests entirely because "test scores" so they make them impossible to fail.

Here, straight from the article:

> Unfortunately, this solution is difficult to implement. Implementation is difficult because of all the reasons that drove NYSED off the cliffs of insanity in the first place. Look at the incentives. NYSED and local school districts have large financial incentives to graduate as many students as possible. These incentives were put in place by both federal and state legislators who meant well and were trying to encourage good public school performance (good performance == graduation, of course, in their eyes). Teachers and principals have large quality-of-life incentives to pass students. Failing students brings scrutiny, parent and student complaints, superintendent pressure, guidance counselor inquisitions, paperwork, and meeting after meeting. It’s much easier to pass everyone.

Kids aren't allowed to fail these tests. But when the school system fails, it's the students that are the one holding the bag because their individual responsibility to pass them and so this is the band-aid. And here's the thing, the sky isn't falling due to this band-aid because the test scores were worthless in the first place. Anyone with academic pursuits didn't need the test, and anyone without them also didn't need the test.

[1] I know, bold statement. But as long as students aren't actually getting an education and there's no real motivation to fix it why even bother with the song and dance? Might as well let the kids sleep in and socialize at the pool or a skate park rather than 5 minutes between classes. I have never met a single person who doesn't echo the sentiment of their HS classes being worthless, and I'm no exception. The only lasting "education" I got when I was 16 was teaching myself calc and programming.

Wen Bo from the Realtime team here!

That back button glitch is specific to the demo. We had to do a few redirects based on Presence sync and load balancing each room. I'm sure there's a better way of doing it and will seek to improve it when I update it. Sorry about that!
It sure does.

Not that scientific but maybe a little on topic, I'm just reading a book about the memoirs of past Soviets leaders, and at some point Khrushchev is complaining how Stalin had an almost all nocturnal life, how for him 2AM was still "an early hour". Afaik Churchill was also a very nocturnal man. I'm wondering what other past leaders were in the same category as Stalin and Churchill when it comes to their night life.

Even certain kebab/doner shops located near bahnhofs now accept cards, but inner area ones are still cash-only. Most asian shops are generally cash-only sadly.

> making it too simple to parse comments and social network posts, creates users that struggle to read more complex content

That's a very strange argument - would you apply it to coding too? Perhaps remove comments so people are forced to interpret the code alone.
Yes, so much this. I don’t really understand how people could object to TDD. It’s just about putting together what one manually does otherwise. As a bonus, it’s not subject to biases because of after-the-fact testing.
Thank you. This is a perfect example of the maxim that it is at least an order of magnitude harder to refute propaganda than it is to create it. Imagine how much time went into the reddit graphic, vs. this report. And on top of that it will hardly change any minds.
> CSS Grid Layout would be the modern way of doing that on the web.

How do you handle the transition at 2:04 where "Last Name" is moved from its own row to sharing a row with "First Name"? Keep in mind I might want to add a third element in that row afterwards.

IIRC with tables you'd have to modify the column spans of all the other rows which is way too much effort. How does it work with the CSS grid layout?
It's the unfortunate reality of software, but it's not an immutable law.

The Microsoft example is important. I've never been a fan, but I stand in grudging respect for what they've accomplished with their products as far as backwards compatibility goes, which has significant and enduring value.

Emulators are another example of how software can be long-lived with the right attention.

Personally, I think we have operating environment conceptions all wrong. We continually pay for or fête new versions and thus incentivize change for change's sake. We might do better to respect or even pay for continuing compatibility.
PayPal offers using SMS to login as a one-time code, without the use of a password. So it's not like a 2fa code where you need to know a secret before verifying you have access to a token (SMS code), it just skips to sending you the code if you have the email or phone number.
The problem for anyone wanting to build an older generation fab is cost.

It costs (within an order of magnitude) the same to build a modern fab as it does to build one for a process 1-5 generations back, maybe more. You have a roughly similar backlog for equipment too. For your troubles you get far fewer chips per wafer so your cost per chip is higher. And the chips are slower and use more power. That makes it much harder to get any kind of payback on a depreciating asset that only gets more out of date. You also risk demand for your new 45-nm or 90-nm fab dropping off toward zero in 10 years.

Historically older fabs would see a drop-off in business as new chips were designed for new processes so as time went on there was more and more capacity available for cheap on the older nodes. That cycle is and has been slowing down though so there isn't much slack even for older fabs.

I'm not sure where the market will end up. If the current shortages are a temporary backlog + hoarding then things will work themselves out within 1-3 years and anyone starting lots of fab construction risks bankruptcy - something that has happened multiple times in the past as keeping a fab idle is equivalent to burning it down so you end up having to dump chips at cost or even a small loss. On the flip side if the recent disruptions are merely accelerating an existing trend then anyone kicking off fab construction stands to make a lot of money.

If you look into the history of the Confederation of Canada, smaller provinces did have these concerns
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Prince_Edward_Isla...
"Under the Canadian Constitution, Prince Edward Island is entitled to four seats in the Senate of Canada, and a corresponding minimum of four seats in the House of Commons of Canada. This results in PEI being considerably overrepresented in the current House, as six of Canada's ten provinces are to varying degrees."
6 out of 10 Canadian provinces are over-represented, like Wyoming, Rhode Island or Alaska

Does anyone seriously think QR codes will still be around in 10 years? They always struck me as clunky. They often don't work, require holding your phone in awkward positions for uncomfortably long periods of time and in many circumstances (e.g. a cashier wishing to expose a dynamically generated QR code to a customer) aren't practical. It's only because we haven't come up with cheap/reliable alternatives that all manufacturers agree to support that they're still in use.

> > And most credit cards give you cash back so it's actually cheaper.

> Do you really think that banks and card networks work for free?

They certainly don't work for free, I addressed that above.

The credit card fees the merchant has to pay are bundled in the price of each item, so you can't escape them. By using a cash back card you can recover some of it, so you're leaving money on the table if you pay by any mechanism other than a cash back card.

A few gas stations around here offer a discounted cash price. In those, I'll pay cash.

A lot more adult of a superpower than say, China's petulant behavior. The US is a mostly benign superpower in comparison. People like to say the US is violent and imperialist and what not, but it's a lot less so and a lot more benevolent than any prior superpower has been in past centuries. Ignoring the past and looking at the future, just look at how China is going all gung ho at the silliest perceived slight, going into petty trade wars with major trading partners over the silliest things (Australia inquiries into the origin of COVID).

So realistically, there's not a lot of "maturity" on the geopolitical world stage. The US is objectively on the "adult" spectrum.
“Deutschland” historically meant “the territory where German-speaking people live”, not a country. The name comes from early Middle Ages when the concept of a national country was not established yet. The idea of Deutschland as a country exists only from 19 century.

That is a very reasonable complaint, and I think the core devs (of the language and of the flagship ecosystem projects) take it fairly seriously. For me personally, it has been incredibly empowering to be able to mix and match very diverse packages, but maybe I am just used to defensive coding: I start with tests, including randomized tests and contract tests.

On the other hand, though, I have not encountered more bugs in the Julia ecosystem than in the Sympy or Theano (deprecated now) or Tensorflow or Pytorch systems when I was using them to build "sophisticated large computational packages".

Maybe the happy users are just not as vocal, but that is a silly excuse.
