It's not just the alphabet size, it's that you need many of each glyph to make a page, and it varies a lot. So also if you're using a Chinese character repeatedly in an essay, you're going to need lots of those glyphs to make that page, so you need really really huge collections of glyphs to make anything.

It's a game of scrabble essentially.

And in addition Gutenberg found an alloy using antimony, a metal nobody had any uses for in absolute, but was known to be toxic (anti-mony anti-monk killed the monks who volunteered for testing its toxicity, similar to the Jesuits with malaria, Catholic scientific testing). So he was a jeweller and he banged out an allow that slightly expanded when cooled, it was always the opposite until that point...I'm not sure if with bronze too. Antimony, tin and silver IIRC. So expensive glyphs, and further once the Americas started pumping out silver the economics of the printing press improved a lot, because it was silver-intensive.

Further, printing presses every now and then piss the fuck out of the ruler, when that happens the whole place gets confiscated so there go your millions of Chinese silver glyphs, and all the work into making them the typography, that's expensive. China is also centralized geographically, so censorship was too easily carried out, resistance was impossible. On the other hand in India it was too fragmented, no common language, also problematic for literacy, letters, glyph sets. Though they didn't do badly, China in terms of the development of books I would have to say did do badly, sometimes it's that simple. Invented paper, gunpowder, the compass, and gave them all away to Europe.

There's more to it, it made sense to have carved wood blocks in the context. I'll truncate here.
This thing looks like it would get obliterated by event the slightest amount of wind.
68k isn’t hard to understand, either.

I think what helped most was that programs were small and that no tricks were necessary or even possible to be efficient w.r.t. cache misses.

If Linux ran on some multi-gigahertz 64-bit evolution of the 6502 the instruction set would still be simple, but a few Gigabytes of 6502 code still would be a challenge to understand, more so if that 6502 were out of order, speculatively executing, multi-core, and various parts of the code were written taking that into account.
For the modelling step, is there an aw-fuck-it special case branch for white noise?
This is a very good white paper.
If you know an algorithm and writing out the code for it, that can be straightforward. Also if you're reading code for an algorithm that you already know that can also be straightforward.

What's difficult is if you don't already know the algorithm. Still writing code that does what you want can be done incrementally without fully knowing an algorithm and building it up from parts and edge-cases. This can lead to code with accidental complexity. Reading this kind of code is indeed difficult.

Code that's well written with any advanced or situation-specific algorithm can also be hard to read. Rewriting it won't help. It may not have been hard to write for the author who did know the algorithm. The best thing to do is document the approach, either in a PR description that can be found on GitHub from a git blame commit hash. Alternatively some choice comments can make it much easier to understand, e.g. before/after or loop invariants.

The problem isn't 'reading code' or 'writing code' as each statement is easy enough to parse, but understanding the whole may not naturally follow from understanding the statements.

So really 'writing code' is often spelling out what you already know, which is easy. Reading code to gain an understanding of an approach you don't already know is a different skill than writing, so will be more difficult without practice. More often than not however is that there is excess cognitive load from poor naming of methods, variables, classes, or subdivision of the problem.
way to ensure there will never be a competitor to Instagram. Thanks regs!
For iphone to now surpass the cumulative share of android brands could point to: not a large change in consumer behaviour, but rather a side effect of fewer Android manufacturers dumping* into the market.

Comparing iPhone to Android isn't useful from a consumer preference point of view as the Android experience varies across each major brand (instead such a metric is useful for applicable markets for software developers).

The useful metrics for identifying consumers preference are smartphone sales on a per-brand basis, and profit share (one could hone this further to per-experience basis since some Android flagships significantly differ from their lower offerings, but this isn't needed as it only further skews the results to iphone). On both of these metrics iphone has always held a leading position, because firstly it indicates the experience provided by the iPhone was chosen above another brand's experience, and that consumers were willing to part with real money to acquire it.

* Dumping, such as offering low cost, or loss-leading devices, BOGOF sales, free devices as part of subscriptions, free trojan horse devices intended to sell media subscriptions or devices so inadequate that they can't meaningfully run non-bundled software, i.e. dumb phones that just happen to run Android.
While I agree that CloudFlare should not be required to provide service to anyone if they don't want to, this is a bad analogy. A brawler in a bar disrupts the ability of other customers to enjoy the service. CloudFlare providing DDoS protection to Kiwi Farms doesn't disrupt the ability of its other clients from receiving this service.

The entire point of DDoS protection is that your clients will be the targets of attacks, possibly because they're saying or doing something someone objects to. This is like a bodyguard being shocked that some of its clients are criminals. With this, CloudFlare has tipped its hand and shown that it's not a reliable provider of protection; the first time anyone raises a little stink they unilaterally terminate the service of one of their clients and throw them to the wolves.
IBM, Rackspace and various other smaller players are just Cloudflare resellers.

Card testers are so frustrating to deal with. We run a food delivery platform coop that processes orders and then delivers them on behalf of our restaurant members. We’re an ideal card-testing target for the perps before they hit up the Apple store. Only basic anti-fraud measures because we’re a startup and as a reward, free meal if they find a card that works.

The hit is usually doubly painful for us as we not only lose the money, and get the 15$ Stripe dispute fee, but we’re still on the hook for the restaurant’s food and driver’s tip and need to pay that out of pocket, and we also lose valuable time from our drivers. So all in all, a 50$ fraud might cost us 80$.

The signs are always obvious. Always ~70$ orders. Asking for the food to be delivered to a person across the street. Obviously fraudulent names and emails. Postal codes from elsewhere in the province. Orders from only certain restaurants. The problem, we always catch this too late through manual reviews. The restaurant usually has the food made before we find out.

Despite mitigations, blocking blocks of addresses (digital and physical), Radar, etc. it’s still trivial to get around and make fraudulent orders if you’re able to constantly acquire a fresh supply of new cards. We can probably build more sophisticated detection mechanisms, but we haven’t gotten there yet.

We’ve resorted to just cancelling the order quietly once we find out, without informing the fraudster. When they invariably call an hour later inquiring about their delivery (with a voice totally not matching the name), we either tell them we’re sending cops or cuss them out loudly. The silver lining is that it’s fun to witness their reactions on the phone when they realize they’ve been caught.

The banks and police are no help. There are obvious fraud patterns (we’ve physically seen the crooks and know where they live) and we have compelling evidence we can provide, but they won’t do anything. Understandably, they’re fighting the problem at a much greater scale and probably don’t have time for small peanut cases like ours, but it’s still frustrating nonetheless.
At least in the US, this could be helped by getting rid of SFH zoning so that buildings would occasionally replaced rather than continually remodeled in ways that mostly dress up the underlying building.
By simply knowing in advance what to do and how to do it, and what will come, we could make a fortune of all fortunes, outcompete everyone and create a perfect utopia. Good to know!
I think to some extent, the Tor network coordinators are needed to prevent correlation attacks, are they not?

I'll keep an eye on Nym, but I am pretty skeptical of any network that relies on a cryptocurrency scheme to operate, especially one with staking like Lokinet. Hypothetically it could work as an incentive structure, but the probabilistic nature of privacy schemes don't bode well, and I think the incentives for HODLing usually displace any actual interest in the network as a service.

Additionally, I have a hard time imagining Tor or I2P being displaced due to network effects, especially if it requires purchasing cryptocurrency, which is already pretty difficult.
"Most printers sold are letter size by default."

No, there are many more printers in the rest of the world than in the US and the vast majority are used with or are set to A4 paper.

A4 is the world standard, like it or not. It's only the US and a schizophrenic UK that converted to metric and still doesn't realize it that aren't metric.

For the record, I think CF and everybody else are well within their rights to drop KF, and the place is a cesspit. I'm very firmly 'Team Nobody' here.

And I'm sure that there are other queer people who've been online as long as we have that agree with you. I'm a nerd who was genuinely wondering if we'd see a correlation between 'time online/age' and 'approval of speech regulation'. As in I'd love to do a formal study on something like that. I just want to know things. Which of us is the outlier? Would it be a bimodal distribution?

And I can definitely see your point, that the type of people who want to censor queer content aren't going to stop wanting that no matter what we do. Especially the religious ones.
I have a problem with this premise:

> Velocity metrics are as loathsome as the horoscope because neither provides any insight on why something went wrong or how to fix it.

Specifically, it assumes that there is that one metric out there than can answer the “why” and “how” questions.

In reality there is none, even your proposed CFD (which I use myself) doesn’t really answer them. Instead what these metrics do is answer the “what” question. Specifically, they signal to the team that something is wrong and they need to dig deeper to get to the bottom of it before arriving at a solution. In fact, one of your examples skips this very important step:

> A manager who wishes to make their team’s cycle times more uniform can try matching the rate at which tasks enter the system to the rate at which they leave.

How did the manager know that this was the correct solution. Perhaps they went further, asked questions, and maybe even consulted stakeholders instead of just looking at the CFD and go “Ah! I will control the arrival rate!”

This would’ve been the same with burnup/down charts provided that the user of these charts knows the probabilistic nature of these metrics.

In the end, it’s not the charts/metrics that matter the most but the person interpreting them.
How about Lockmaster (authz/authn), too?

Again: PGP-enabled email apps are available on many platforms, though, again, this addresses only a small part of the larger challenge at encouraging adoption.

It would certainly be on the low end I would expect, and only getting cheaper. It's unfortunate that Rwanda is so poor that even that is far too much :(
> The vendor lock-in is by definition there if there are any special Apple features.

This is ridiculous. Then no manufacturer, weather it be cars, or clothing, or industrial equipment would offer anything different than their competitors, lest it be deemed "vendor lock in".
You’re probably thinking of AVX, Advanced Vector Extensions. That’s a family of vector extensions that has been out for just over a decade (2011). This is about AMX, Advanced Matrix Extensions. AMX is, as the name implies, built around 2D INT8/BF16 matrices (not “1D” FP16/32/64 vectors). It’s not on silicon available to the public.

My second thought, which I excluded for brevity, was aren't functions and libraries language extensions? I mean technically you could write C without malloc, but it wouldn't be very useful. Regex is a great example of an embedded DSL, but I've never thought "I wish I could write a macro to change it's behavior on the fly in this special case". The last time I looked at this issue I saw that sure, if you don't have generics, it would be helpful to have a language that could write typed functions for you. That makes sense. Changing the parser and compiler behavior before any runtime code executes could be very interesting. There are certainly enough people waxing poetic about the expressiveness of it to make it worth learning.
I'm always surprised that cops don't care about "small peanut" cases because that's exactly how you get to the head of an organized crime ring.
To the people down voting this, can you say why it’s true or not? I’m curious, I’m actually curious. Because if a product is harming children, if the company has been fined for it, charged guilty for it, and you’re still using it, how do you think you’re not complicit?
So a moderator sees a video of 5 year old being raped. Your system needs this content to stay up for a reasonable amount of time for someone to challenge it, and for it to go through an appeals process before the moderator can say that this really is child porn and they can remove the content?

I'm responding to this part:

> First, I'd like users to get a reasonable amount of time to challenge any suspensions or bans before they take effect, using an internal appeals process
Sure, but your standard of living will be lower. The energy needs he's talking about include all usage, including that which you get from burning wood on your land.

There's nowhere near enough natural wood worldwide to meet our energy consumption
Sorry! I'm not doing it in just my team; that's how it's across hundred of teams in my org.

I believe I was not clear: it's a rotational support - where every engineer is encourage to spend a sprint worth of time in every quarter on working on support tickets. You've complete autonomy - you don't want to work on support tickets, it's alright. No one is forcing you. You want to spend next two weeks on a training or self-learning - go for it.

Well, obviously all bets are off when an attacker compromises your Stripe private key. I think that's a bit of an exceptional case, it's kind of silly to blame Stripe for it when such an devastating vulnerability existed in the site.

Stores of energy are frequently called fuels.

There are other options as well. Stored work-product (e.g., banking heat or cold when possible for later use, materials fabrication). Potential-storage mechanisms (batteries, pumped hydro, kinetic, or others). Demand-side rather than supply-side dispatch --- varying activity rather than generation or energy provision to match available capabilities.

Hi Kresimir, any plans to implement the FHIR standards?
No, it isn't close to true; there are more than enough roofs and unfarmable plots of land.

Anyway, if it were true, fission is clean enough and unlimited enough for all practical purposes. Fusion is even better (in theory).

As others have pointed out, you're wrong about USB-C's minimum standards.

But more important, markets work best when consumers have good information about what they're buying.

Lightning always works as expected. Give me a Lightning cable and a Lightning port and I know what they'll do. Comparison shopping for a Lightning cable is easy.

But making an educated decision about which USB-C cable to buy requires understanding an increasingly complex matrix. You cannot just look at a USB-C cable or port and know what it is; you've got to parse each device or cable's spec sheet (if you can find one). https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/09/breaking-down-how-us...

The possibility of lock-in to a proprietary system is one piece of information, but consumers aren't getting screwed by lock in to Lightning connectors. It's easy to find a cheap Lightning cable that performs as expected; it's easy to comparison shop for them on price.

Consumers are, however, wasting a lot of money on USB C cables that don't do what they expect because the USB-C "standards" make it extremely difficult for ordinary consumers to know what they're buying.

> And even before programming architecture was used metaphorically. 'Architecting a plan' and all that.

The verbing of "architect" is relatively recent, and certainly comes after programming. Historically, and outside the USA, one generally designs a plan, you do not architect it.

Architects design buildings, they do not architect them. Some kinds of software involve designing an architecture.

You referred to it as "continuing", which is probably why, since that's not true. The practice they were fined for ended.

If you eat food, some child labor was probably involved. Same with wearing clothes. Allowing accounts for teens to share their email addresses seems like reasonably small potatoes in comparison.
User-modifiable shortcuts plus a user willing to modify them are the key to happiness. It lets you iterate until you are satisfied. The macOS has better built-in tools for this; for Windows you need to install PowerToys. But that's just for the OS level adjustments.

Applications are in far worse shape, overall. Most applications don't support shortcut customization! Not even browsers. A remarkable oversight, IMHO. But most apps don't support shortcut customization, forcing you to learn their shortcuts, which is user-hostile no matter how well they are designed, IMHO.
You're probably being downvoted because your argument makes as much sense as asking someone why they drive a car if some people kill people with them, so surely they must be complicit. Just because illegal activity can happen, doesn't make everyone part of that illegal activity.
To be fair, in good fantasy it can also 'good' vs 'evil'.
Isn’t the “Google CPU” just rebranded Exynos? In which is case it’s almost always worse than same generation Qualcomm in performance. One of the reasons why I couldn’t stomach purchasing a Samsung phone here in Europe was that their Exynos processor was worse across the board than what the North American benchmarks on YouTube would have you believe.
In the moment I doubt a top GM would notice. Everyone is preparing using state-of-the-art chess engines and taking inspiration, even from moves that would have been considered crazy a decade ago.

After the fact, it'd probably be more obvious. Human players will typically avoid unnatural moves that require long sequences of perfect play before they pay off.

But top players are also the best qualified at cheating in a way that wouldn't raise suspicion. Many games are lost or drawn because of small mistakes or inaccuracies during the endgame. And playing a perfect endgame is not implausible at this level.
It's a systematic failure of government going back at least two centuries. In 1913, people were making identical complaints about the government and courts (especially regarding IP) as they do today.
