There's a ton of diplomatic and other forms of protests:

- evict caught spies and other agents (or imprison them, it's no secret China does that as well)

- summon or evict their embassy staff and ambassadors

- harass China-owned companies or make their lives difficult with bureaucracy just like China does

- impose tariffs and trade sanctions

- support CCP-critical groups and dissidents both domestic and in China

- threaten China militarily (e.g. by deploying maritime units just right outside of their maritime borders), just like China does

- support nations whose sovereignty is threatened or violated by China, including African nations where Chinese fish trawlers are stealing fish

- hack Chinese government and corporate entities, just like China does

- impose export bans on technology or resources that China needs (which is already done, e.g. ASML litho machines)

- restrict Chinese citizens from visas, buying real estate

- seizing Chinese-owned assets like real estate (bonus: reduces housing pressure)
How I miss my galaxy S3!

I'd hook it up to a proper display using an MHL cable then connect a Bluetooth keyboard. It was a sweet setup and the assorted tools (plus root shell) actually came in very handy. It could fill in for a laptop quite nicely.

These days it seems there's no legitimate alternative to MHL... can any phones directly connect to a display anymore via wire? Or is the only option screencasting to a smart TV?

FWIW, I generally like my appliances on the dumb (or open) side.
The math to compare colors is more simple than that: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#relativeluminancedef

Blue is a slightly higher frequency than both red and green but green has a dramatically higher luminosity. Simple arithmetic applied against that less simple luminosity formula allows for contrast comparisons.
On the upside, a fire tube boiler is much more compact, which is valuable in trains since they are very dimensionally constrained.

Not an issue for a power plant or (mostly) a ship.
>Except Dr. Phil does have an actual PhD. Which he attended university and defended via dissertation. Unlike, say, RMS.

Well that's the point.

When RMS says he's a "Doctor", the expectation is "made a significant contribution to computer science" - which, arguably, he did.

When Dr. Phil says he's a "doctor", the expectation is "qualified and licensed to practice medicine in his field". Which he is very much not (in particular, he hasn't renewed his license).

Context matters.
I'm not American, I'm British and feel as though our approach to healthcare is hobbled by people who think the NHS is some saintly miracle and not a very expensive bureaucracy which provides mediocre value for money.
Why would it not help him to think about whether Twitter is dying or not given that the most followed accounts rarely if ever tweet?

It may not be correct to assume that most followed accounts should be tweeting a lot for the platform to be not dying, and the CEO may not be able to answer such a question publicly, but it seems like a fair question to ask and think through.
I already have experimented with multiple FPGAs and a big FPGA.

I'm looking into ideas like "push learning into the fingers". For example, when you learn to type you gradually move a computed action (finding the right key) into a twitch reaction (moving it into the fingers). One way to do this is to dump the state machine from an FPGA, add a new state that captures the action, and reloading the FPGA. There are lots of issues to study and puzzles to solve.

For example, if one FPGA is using a neural net to train, can a "piece" of that neural net be "extracted" into a state machine state? I'm experimenting with the interaction / combination of neural nets and state machines. How can a "subset of neural net learning" become an independent state?

I've not found any research on the intersection of state machines and neural nets, nor any research on the idea of "moving behavior into the fingers". I haven't found any research on self-modifying FPGAs, nor any research on self-modifying FPGAs using genetic programming.

I want to be able to A/B test one FPGA output against another.

A single big FPGA requires proprietary software that can't handle the dump/reload idea. Multiple FPGAs have very limited pathways for interaction. Neither seem to be the best medium.
They are enforced by other countries - it wasn't the Chinese themselves who decided to stop doing something because an international court said so - that is my point. This would be equivalent to a court imposing a fine on you, and your neighbors taking your things in the amount of the fine (instead of the state taking it, or you going to pay).
Perhaps we should change copyright to only last 5-10 years then.

Two things can draw similarities without being the same thing. If your prior is that we can’t make comparison between two things without them being equal, I’m not sure if that’s something I can help with. Obviously Trump was more outrageous with his claims because he’s an outrageous person, I’m surprised that even needs to be said.

In Canada though, when two people both claim to have won something that they fairly lost, instead blaming the rules, the electorate, or the competition, we just call them both sore losers. I don’t think it’s much more complicated than that.

I’ve noticed when dealing with Americans they have a hard time accepting criticism of their party without first hearing some criticism of the opposing team, so I’d like to make it crystal clear I’m defending Trump or his team here. I’d just like, for once, for the Democrat party to admit some of their hypocrisy.

The 2016 election _wasnt_ hacked, neither was the 2020, and no amount of “well actually they meant something else” will change that.

This seems common. I was surprised to discover at my last employer how many of the girls in marketing were the daughters of the rich CEO or his equally 'elite' friends. One of them was an extreme sjw feminist to the extent that she objected to men asking that men's day be celebrated as well as women's day. Needless to say they weren't especially good at their jobs, not that it mattered much.
Yes, depending on your stack, I can only recommend to roll-your-own.

But for some stack it ain't that easy though. E.g. if you want TypeScript or SSR.
Opera Mini at iPhone’s release couldn’t zoom in and out or show websites in a horizontal or vertical view etc. It also didn’t directly render websites requiring a server to provide a more limited version which caused a range of compatibility and latency issues etc.

Opera Mini was well optimized for cellphones of the time and bandwidth limited cellphone plans, but Apple’s deal with AT&T to allow unlimited bandwidth flipped a lot of those design decisions on their head. IMO what really separated the iPhone’s browser was a larger screen + better UI + better rendering + unlimited bandwidth meant it could just be used to casually browse the web.
But you don't know whether you will profit or not before you make the work. And asking for permission after the fact is too late and might even weaken your fair use case.

Maybe, I don't think it'll happen quickly though.

Nobody wants US healthcare, not even the US; to willingly introduce it here would be instant political suicide. That gives me hope.

And Conservatives have screwed things so hard in the past 12 years, I think there's genuine appetite for public investment. The current Labour party isn't the government it very nearly could have been in 2017 but if their recently energy policy[1] is anything to go by, they're not afraid of borrowing to invest in long term savings.

Energy is a great example. If we could become independent of oil and not just swap that for lithium/cobalt dependencies, that probably is worth the outlay. Healthcare falls into a similar bracket.

The added bonus is that if Labour gets a PR-like voting system implemented, it might be harder for any one (or two) parties to dominate politics and we could focus on goal-orientated politics. Maybe.

Number of viable parties in long term depends on electoral system.

Ranked choice alone makes multiple parties viable but it's not ideal. Yet ranked choice would almost certainly lead to more than two parties in the US.

Electoral system is not only the voting system. Single member districts + plurality (current US system) is the worst system for representative democracy by multiple criteria, so almost any proposal improves the situation.

Proportional representation (PR) is any system where seats are divided between parties/lists by their vote share. Ranked choice is not enough. The US would also need multi member districts.

>By federal law, all members of the United States Congress are elected from single-member districts, and most states also elect their state legislators from single-member districts. Some states, however, utilize multi-member districts. For example, Arizona, New Jersey, South Dakota, and Washington elect all members of their lower state legislative chambers from multi-member districts. https://ballotpedia.org/Multi-member_district
And memes.
Yup. Is that not what happens? Consistently??

As for the hypothetical court case. Again, there's history for that as well.

What's your explanation then? The mighty Google with some of the best and brightest minds in the world...is consistently incompetent? That it goes into markets outside its core competence, dumps a ton of resources, and then again and again surrenders prematurely?

Really?

Seems that your theory sounds more ridiculous than mine (which btw is inpired by Thiel and Zero to One).

To be more accurate, this to protect an AST parsed into source code that is _readily available_ for anyone who wants it, because... it's open source. Anyone with knowledge of GCC could write a patch in a week or so to dump the AST into JSON and publish it as a patch.

You're right, too, though: this exact argument is part of why LSP and clang won. When people showed up (in _2015_!) to try to start on support for this sort of thing in emacs and gcc, the dictator at the top could not be convinced this was worthwhile. And now the world uses Clang and LSP and the GNU counterparts get dustier and dustier.

Free Speech for Me--But Not for Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other (1992) [1] is a good read on how we got to a point where our ability to communicate across ideologies appears to be broken in many ways.

For example, in 1963 Yale disinvited George Wallace, who was popular in the deep south, as a speaker. As a result, observers were deprived of a chance to hear opposing speakers' arguments. To some, Yale appeared censorious. As Jonathan Rauch describes [2], that's not good for your case. Censorship is all these characters need to gain new followers. Wallace ran for president in 1968 and nearly forced a plurality which would have given him significantly more influence [3].

Early episodes of the podcast So to Speak [4] by FIRE can inform the direction that can get us talking again. Basically, open and civil discourse is the way. The podcast demonstrates, through interviews with free speech advocates, a bunch of examples showing why that is a good target to shoot for, and how to achieve it.

Show HN: I created a feed of interesting content for myself
I stopped using Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok etc long back for various reasons. But that left me wanting a simple feed of interesting content because I think that really has some value. So I built one for myself using public APIs and free datasets. I have been using it for couple years now. Thought I should share it wth HN, because why not.

Here’s how it works: every few minutes, a cron job fetches content from various APIs and datasets and populates a database table ‘cards’. When you open feedium.app, you are shown some cards from that table chosen randomly. That’s it. :)

I wouldn't be so sure about that. India is really complex. More than any country on earth. Sinhalese in Sri Lanka never colonized anyone as far as I'm aware, and since you have at least a dozen ethnicities across India, i wouldn't be surprised if some never colonized anyone.

I beg to differ. Canon marketed several film and video cameras with eye-tracking for focus. I remember it being a very intuitive interface.

Considering this through a modern perspective of inclusivity, there are probably issues around accessibility for people with eye-mobility issues (amblyopia, stroke-related impairments, etc).

Disclosure: Renovate author

Renovate is indeed AGPL, but if you're just running it as a CLI, do you think there's anything to "watch out for"? It does not make any project you run it against AGPL, that's for sure.

Also you should be aware that dependabot-core, which dependabot-gitlab wraps, is not technically Open Source at all: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/main/LICE...
Wrapping a non-open source project in another project which claims to be MIT licensed does not change the underlying license. I'm not a lawyer but question the validity of them doing this without larger disclaimers.

However, I think that it's likely not something to "watch out for" either. Likely both licensing approaches were intended as a way to forbid or discourage competing services and each project welcomes people self-hosting.

In short I don't think that the license of Renovate or Dependabot is likely material for anyone planning to run it for themselves.
I agree completely with you, thats how I am seeing the whole situation. Even if I knew the outcome I would be part of it again and I could even spend more money and time. But on the other hand Google could do much better and stadia could be luckier if it was managed by someone else
And the UK already has GDS, who in the main are very good at building digital services for government itself, they could join up more with.

As someone from Southeast Asia I agree with your first point. Being “shy” with foreigners is still a thing here. You can really tell an experience dev here if he’s very comfortable speaking with foreigners.

In my 12 yoe it still surprises me that majority of the devs I know doesn’t communicate outside with other developers internationally like in SO chat, Reddit or here.

Little more philosophical with less practical examples, and a bit ranty, comment incoming:

Linux did not proactively foster standards on anything beyond the kernel.

Sure many would shout "not their job!" but here we are in 2022, every disagreement in an obscure chat channel or a forum only 500 people on the planet know exists leads to a new distro, or a fork of a high-profile library, or yet another pre-built KDE/GNOME configuration claiming usability / accessibility and whatnot. Fragmentation abounds, egos are flying around. Feels like a kids club arguing with another kids club about which Transformer toys are the coolest.

Like, come on already. Agree on a common goal and start pursuing it. Moderate aggressively -- if somebody is being a dickhead just boot them out. Done. (Would have saved at least 17 people no less than 10 hours each, judging by several random encounters I witnessed some years ago.)

---

Non-exhaustive list:

- We need strong schema for cooperation between tools. A tool like `jc` that strives to parse various UNIX tools outputs and convert them to JSON shouldn't even exist yet I find it indispensable for most of my throwaway scripting or homegrown data-science needs.

- We need less copying between user space and kernel space.

- We need to start moving away from "everyting is a file" and have some standardized SQL-like interface to the OS (or any other query language that makes sense for the task; people will adapt).

- We need less Python scripts being responsible for, well, almost everything. It's collectively embarrassing and makes a ton of distros very brittle (upgrade from 2.7.X to 2.7.Y and hilarity ensues).

- We need to start bundling more things into the OS by default. People love standards and that's the (apparently inconvenient) truth. Endlessly parroting "freedom!" has gotten us nowhere as it's very clearly visible by the state of anything non-kernel related in Linux land.

---

A lot of things from the 70s and 80s still make sense today. But some no longer do and we should recognize that and start moving forward because that old way of doing things is actively hampering progress of the entire IT area.

And no I truly don't care if I get automated out of my job as a result. At one point the area has to progress further. We are in an evolutionary cul-de-sac.

---

It really does seem that non-kernel Linux work is mostly picked up by very immature people who don't seem to be professional programmers at all.
What do you mean by "the included dependency checks"?

If you're referring to Renovate, there's no such paid option.

If you're referring to GitLab paid features, I'm not sure how that's any different between tools.

I agree with you, but it's easier said than done. Especially if you're already depressed, drudging forward can seem like the path of least resistance, even though it often isn't.
Define productivity first.

Also, even if one does not read books (or especially papers), he still will ask friends and colleagues about programming-related things. And those friends and colleagues may be avid readers of books (or especially academic papers). Even other's code can be considered derived from books (or especially academic papers).

So this uneducated yet productive programmer is unable to escape reading literature by proxy.

As someone who has enjoyed tripping, and is generally positive about the benefits of the experience, there are a number of reasons that spring to mind.

You may not have the luxury of time for that. Or even a save place to do it. What if you are in a vulnerable and insecure housing situation? Living on the streets? etc.

You may not feel ready for that. For example if you feel anxious and avoidant about having a raw and truthful "conversation" with your self because of what you might find there, then it probably means that it isn't a great idea.

Perhaps you don't have the access to talk therapy, supportive friends and family, and the like, to trip-sit you, or to discuss and process your experiences with after the trip.

I don't think it would be fair to take options off the table because you (we) think one is better. I mean, why drink a can of PBR, when fine whiskey exists? Why masturbate when you can have sex, which is clearly superior? The fact that one proposition exists does not take the other one away.

That said, with the way the laws are, one proposition IS taken away by prohibition so really it's a question of why put one of them through FDA approval to enter widespread usage while the other one sits in a weird limbo where the vast majority of those seeking it are forced in to an illicit drug trade which endangers them. But that question has a lot more to do with the moral and political failings of our society.
AI experts pan Tesla’s humanoid robot reveal: ‘next level cringeworthy’
While thinking about it, i realized, that our vision apparatus has an interesting feature:
When you move your head, your field of sight moves with that motion. But when you hold your head still and only move your eyeballs, the field of sight stays constant, while the focus point (gaze point?) changes, scanning the still standing field of sight.
Imagine replacing the eyeballs along with their mounting and motion with cameras. Every motion would translate the field of sight as a whole.
Anyone knows, how this mechanism is called?
