I mentioned this last time I spotted a link to a Strange Loop talk, but worth reiterating so fewer people miss the opportunity: 2023 will be the last conference. Make it if you can, it’s an amazing experience.

(I’m in no way an interested party, other than someone who was lucky enough to get my job to send me once.)
Good first point, although the CCP is very full of their progress, and don't believe democracy has anything going for them by comparison for a moment, right now.

Good second point, too; he's definitely far removed from the masses now. So he isn't likely to be the change.

Innovation by democracies - eminently disorganized societies for better and worse - could indeed be an existential threat to China's system (not the people) if China loves "harmony" just a little too much. (Harmony being their term, and not an entirely bad one.)
They sell black ties and white shirts still, perhaps you can buy them and live out this fantasy.
Without getting into how I know this… there are a few McClaren vehicles with class-A (outside, pretty part) body panels that have no screws, welds, or attachments. They are glued on and not meant to come out, but a few block the only access to X or Y part. The technician comes in, takes a razor, cuts the panel out at the glue, does the work, cleans the old glue off and glues panel back on. It’s actually pretty amazing.
I had the same reaction: clearly all bets are off when you expose memory directly to another runtime.
Dunno how you've been phrasing it to people. Maybe most of the people you've been talking too didn't do the literature track in school (China splits tracks very early on)? Most people I know know about it (or at least that there were a variety of 20th century Chinese intellectuals interested in doing away with Chinese characters). Also people forget things they learned in school.

But as for sources...

It shows up on high school tests. E.g. a 2022 high school test from Dalian https://www.51jiaoxi.com/doc-13250120.html (there's a paywall but it's client-side you can remove it with your browser's DOM inspection tools)

> “胡适提出的文学革命其实是一剂泻药。而陈独秀、钱玄同、鲁迅等人还嫌它不够猛烈，又以更激烈的态度提出新的口号，于是‘废除汉字”‘将线装书统统丢进茅厕里”“不读中国书”等种种骇人听闻的说法便一个接一个地出来了，而且到现在还有人为之猛拍巴掌。”该评论指新文化运动（ ）

> "The literature revolution championed by Hu Shih in reality was a laxative. Yet Chen Duxiu, Qian Xuantong, Lu Xun and others thought it was still not extreme enough. As a result, "Get rid of chinese characters," "Throw thread-bound books [the usual book binding for classical texts] into the toilet," "Don't read Chinese books," and other shocking sayings came out one after the other, and even now there are people who applaud such sayings." This comment points out that the New Culture Movement ([a series of multiple choice answers follows])

There are literally dozens if not hundreds of threads about this on Zhihu, Baidu Zhidao, etc. (https://www.zhihu.com/question/36621372, https://www.zhihu.com/question/525670306, https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/2201546777143697068.html, etc.)

This is a pretty far cry from "conveniently leaving out."
> Nobody is saying that you tear their tents down and leave them to the elements.

This is in fact the most commonly adopted practice for “dealing with” homeless people in places like the United States: violently destroying their homes and property at regular intervals, so that they are out of sight and therefore out of mind of people without empathy.
Ignore that dude - nice job!

I find it difficult to finish anything I start due to being a (self-proclaimed) perfectionist. It's nice to see someone with a similar problem going out of their comfort zone.

Kudos!
I didn't note a key condition- that there's some near certainty they won't ever recover. Regardless if they are awake in the coma or not.

Here's an issue. You said it should be up to the person. Sure but it's not boolean. Assume they can't communicate and didn't provide instructions like a DNR. That's not yes or no.

As for the family they are bias in this situation. They reasons are emotional, valid yes but meh.

If the family wanted to keep them alive they could pay for the treatment but that's almost never the case. Insurance is going to cover it and that's really just spreading it around to the public.

Assume the person is in a coma, no idea if they are aware, 99% chance they won't ever wake up, family isn't paying with cash.

If they are awake that's torture for the next 20 years, though to be honest I'd like to hear about it from someone who has gone through it. Also, the family doesn't move on, it's not a thing in their life, yes they want it but is this all for the best?
No, its not. But the general idea is, I think: If the composition of correct code can lead to incorrect behavior and the language that handles this composition does not allow to correct the error (and explicitly supports the composition), then that language is somehow lacking.
I hope uBlock Origin integrates it. The real feature is the database of time stamps relating to sponsored content, just like ad blocker filter lists.
Given the choice though, between someone who loves their job and someone who simply tolerates it (because they hate being told what the priority is): then most people will choose the former.

Personally I am similar to the parent, I have a strong anti-authoritarian streak and I work hard to curb it; what helps me is trying to maintain an open dialogue with my managers and try to get on board with how they prioritise so that I'm invested in solving the same problems as they are.

Being equals in my own mind helps me curb my anti-authoritarian tendencies.
How did you get better at waking up? I’m still in the category of requiring many alarms that take hours to wake me. Have done a lot of stuff like move to a room where sun shines on me in the morning, additional automated lights, an alarm playing talk radio. Considering buying a machine for thousands of dollars that will make my bed uncomfortably cold and vibrate my chest.
But there are no old school cubicle offices to go to anymore. Offices have turned into hotel lobbies where nothing happens except terrible software engineering using Jira and some HR bullshit to deal with. Great coffee though. Actually, just realized, if an office space has bad coffee, it'd probably be my type of a place.
The problem is that most speakers were never taught how to use these systems. Most people only learn Pinyin and written and spoken Standard Chinese in school.

Cantonese survives and is thriving because it dominates as a spoken language in education and in public. Even so, only few people are familiar with any of the romanization systems for Cantonese. In Taiwan, Hokkien and other languages are not so established, and were even suppressed for some time. Therefore, it's not so surprising that even fewer people know about writing systems for these.
I think it's framed as a "problem" because it is associated with high rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide.

It doesn't seem like people like how things are going all that much
If you're familiar with Fuse Tomoko's work on his origami, and her books are much easier to read, it should be much easier to undestand.
Thanks for the link. Man, I love listening to him speak. For anyone who didn't know, he has a really nice podcast called "Great Leap Years"(2018)[1] you should listen to. Its a podcast about how technology has changed our lives over the years.

Hey that’s really cool and not silly or niche at all, I actually think it’s extra advanced to not just understand color so deeply but try to teach it at that level. Pretty hard core in my book, color is a surprisingly hard and deep subject.

I had a few good teachers along the way who taught me a ton about color and computer graphics. Peter Shirley is probably the top of my personal list, and he’s also very interested in improving science education, so maybe worth checking out his CG books. In his rendering class we bought a MacBeth color checker and had to take a photograph of it set inside a scene that we physically built out of whatever materials and light sources we wanted, and then we had to write our own renderers to match the photo. You really learn a lot about color trying to do that! :)

Pete and I have since designed a simple opponent-process color space aimed at ease of use that is perceptually uniform ‘enough’, but we haven’t published it yet. That could be a fun way to teach though: have students design their own color space! There also might be some interesting work going on in the area of digital color picker interfaces that could be useful for teaching. I’m forgetting who does this stuff, so can’t cough up any links at the moment, but I’ve definitely seen a couple of neat presentations recently that combine the science of perception and color spaces along with good design sensibilities to make interfaces that are demonstrably better for artists than the crappy RGB & HSV & other pickers we usually see today.
Kinda agree. A rust version would be awesome.
> I liked rounded corners on Windows XP. It was the only version of Windows that looked professional and nice at the same time.

It's interesting you say that, since I remember back at the time XP was released, so many people complained about how Windows XP had a "Fisher Price" UI that was distinctly non-professional. (Personally, I always liked XP's look.)
so where does the machine code for the TUI live? does it get compiled into your binary? how big is it?

I’ll say it. Obviously some people with severe mental illness will need support the rest of their lives, but the people that are homeless because they’re addicted to getting high all day?

The only way they’re going to stop is if they hit rock bottom. If you’re enabling their behavior that’s never going to happen. And yeah, it’d be rough for them and some will die, but that will cause some others to never go down that road.
That is not, in fact, why nukes are super-expensive. It is just a very cost-intensive technology, at every stage. Even its natural output after everything, process heat, is expensive to turn into useful power.
I was making a caricature out of it but honestly, I would like 1) A quiet place at work (not at home) 2) Formal meetings with agenda and strict meeting notes 3) Telephones, yes real clunking telephones that you can pick up and call your coworkers. No slack, no non-sense. 3) Great email system that isn't tied to Google Suite 4) Excellent stationery 5) No HR department. None. Zero.
Gun ownership correlates to a desire to defend yourself from out-groups. You expect people to behave according to the set of ethics you and your countrymen follow. A gun is a tool to provide oneself a way to insure their own life. You can have a high trust society. That doesn't mean that crime doesn't happen, nor does it mean the (theoretically benevolent) police can respond in time to save you. High trust does not imply victimhood. A high trust society is generally cohesive and has a shared set of moral and ethical values that allow for kinship and constructive work. High trust societies with firearms are generally safe - as America is.

Gun deaths have trended down dramatically since the 60s (source: FBI) and with all but a few unfortunate locations in the US you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than shot. Ignoring suicide, the US is a very safe place much to chagrin of the yellow journalists. This sounds exactly like a high trust society to me. If it was low trust, every street corner would be dangerous. Chicago, for example, is a microcosm of a low trust society. Most of Africa is low trust. Afghanistan is low trust. Clan-based warfare is a sign of low trust. China, for example, is a (somewhat) high trust society yet has incredibly restrictive firearms laws.

> And I'm sure this exists on a spectrum and societies will change over time, so which way would you think the US is trending?

According to the actual FBI data released in the last several years gun deaths continue to decline from record highs 60 years ago. The vast majority of murders are gang related (a cultural problem), and the vast, vast majority of remaining data is taken up by suicides. As far as I can tell not only is the US a high trust society in general (I can open a business anywhere, I can buy a home anywhere, I can generally expect someone to be kind to me), it's also safe despite it's gun ownership. The anti-gunners always seem to ignore cultural differences in countries. For example, comparing Sweden or Finland to the US. These are still culturally homogeneous. The US is a veritable melting pot of 10,000 different cultures. This has a dramatic effect that people avoid talking about because it is politically incorrect. In this sense the US can be viewed as a lower-tier of high trust due to the lack of cultural homogeneity. Though I would still argue on fundamentals the US itself is very high trust, albeit somewhat awkward and very self-deprecating.

I think your issue trying to resolve high trust is stemming from the media portrayal of the US. As someone who spends every waking moment here, and many moments outside of metros, I just don't see what horrors the media reports. If it does exist, it's somewhere else (and I honestly can't be bothered to worry about it).
I don't agree with this actually.

Conventional wisdom is that job hopping is a great way to progress but the reality is: Job hopping forces an evaluation of your skills and values on the market.

The problem with the second statement is that it only works for positions that are hiring, and that means there is an invisible ceiling when certain roles are internal promotions only.

The last 5 people to become my manager did so by being hired internally. The only time I've seen an external director hire in any of my companies was when the company was small or that person had been a director level employee at a rival company.
Mixing sync and async conditinually at runtime means non-determinism and Zalgo is very real.

There is no such thing as returning "sync object" vs an "async object" unless you mean you wish to check every single value in your app over and over again to see if its 'sync' or 'async'.

Promises are about control flow, not data. They are also just a stone on the path to full, proper async/await
Thank you Stefan, appreciate your kind words. Hopefully you can try doing a 24 hour challenge as well, it really helps cultivate the shipping muscle (my friend once told me shipping is like a muscle, you need to work it regularly and practice it to get good at it, I really liked their advice).
Start from the blueprints for mechanical computers designed to last on extreme environment such as the surface of Venus and have people at the Longnow Foundation operate it? The computer could charge up and function every now and then when it rains or the sunshines or the wind blows or the nuclear power source burns. Biochemistry has a builtin vm for knitting patterns from DNA, RNA. Use crystal structures for read-only foundational memory packaged like child's play Beyblades?
> Don't be hysterical.

Spoken by madmen and men ad infinitum . . .
Saying the system learns to 'respond to its environment' is an overly generous description which muddles up what is actually happening.
Excellent point.

My solution: use the laptop keyboard for casual button pushing or even casual typing.

That solution works if and only if your computer is a laptop.

I know lot of small shop owner. They need, by definition, to be at work all day, everyday. They’re all complaining that work is the only place they can meet people, but that it’s hardly a way to have friends and so are losing them. I know also of manual labor job worker that complaint of the same thing.

Your lense is only working for job in office like environment.

You have to create most of the time the opportunities to really meet new people. Hoping to get that randomly at your job Is not the best way I think.
I am surprised that there is no widely-spread Starware license yet. “You are entitled to use this software after starring X/Y on GitHub.”
Unfortunately, paper versions are currently very hard to obtain. The last reprint was in 2007 (Twist Origami 1-3, and Introduction to Creative Playing with Origami), and the volumes were too little to match growing interest. When starting this project a year ago, I already had most of the books, but getting those I didn't own was very difficult. The copy of Solid Origami I grabbed was - I believe - literally the last copy I could find on the English-speaking internet. I grabbed it from Kim's Crane (https://kimscrane.com/) and I think they had a copy or two of Fujimoto's other books at the time.

If there is an origami society in your country, they may have some of these books in their library (rules for lending may vary, of course).

These books being so difficult to find was one of the reasons I wanted to ask Fujimoto's heirs to release the books to the Public Domain.

Yes, moderation is as simple as not downloading something you object to. As for identifying false metadata, that falls outside of moderation.
Can you elaborate? How does that solve the problem?

I’m definitely getting spam texts out of nowhere after not really getting these in the past. They’re mostly of the sexual performance, obvious scam with misspellings variety. Like spam email at its zenith in the early oughts.
As an aside, this is only true if the paper supplier has no market power. Generally, if the next best supplier of paper is significantly worse than the one refusing to supply you then yes, they are definitely censoring you.Your position is correct in a competitive market because there are lots of other sellers willing to give the same terms but in the real world it's mostly oligopolies and monopolies with significant market power across broad swaths of the economy who definitely can suppress speech by choosing to not do business with someone.
You wrote it now you have to support the decisions you made and if you know you are going to have to deal with something in the future you will take the time to account for it but if you never see past a year you will never learn what really worked
In 1957 Mao specifically called out that

> 漢字必須改革，漢字改革要走世界文字共同的拼音方向

> Chinese characters must be reformed, and that reform of Chinese characters must follow the global trend of phonetic spelling (pinyin)

This was swiftly followed up by 1958 by a pronouncement from the head of the government committee on character reform (http://www.gov.cn/test/2008-03/07/content_912608.htm)

> 我们认为：汉字总是要变的，拿汉字过去的变化就可以证明，将来总是要走世界共同的拼音方向。

> We believe: Chinese characters inevitably must change. We can use the changes in Chinese characters of the past to prove that in the future, this must follow the global trend of phonetic spelling [this is almost a carbon copy of Mao's words]

This sentiment continued through the second round of simplification. The People's Daily (the usual mouthpiece of the PRC) wrote an article in 1977 (https://www.laoziliao.net/rmrb/1977-12-20-1) in concert with the beginning of the second round of simplification explicitly describing character simplification as setting the stage for phonetic spelling.

> 毛主席指出，汉字的拼音化需要做许多准备工作；在实现拼音化以前，必须简化汉字

> Chairman Mao has stated: the pinyin-ification of Chinese characters requires a great deal of preparation. Before we can achieve pinyin-ficiation, we must first simply characters.

But by that time literacy rates were sufficiently high that there was considerable backlash against the second round of simplification and it was withdrawn, first informally and later formally. Had it succeeded, no doubt a fully phonetic script would've been at least on the table for discussion.
The one thing that worked for me is to go to sleep earlier and wake up naturally. If you're still tired however, see a sleep doctor, many have undiagnosed sleep apnea.

Largest score declines in NAEP mathematics at grades 4 and 8
NAEP (one of the few national standards we have in the US to consistently measure math/reading performance) shows a decline in 4th and 8th grade math performance since being measured in 1991.

Lots of speculation of course as to contribution from Covid / school shutdowns, etc.

I have mixed feelings on remote work as a whole. I have worked remotely for nearly a decade, but before that, I worked at a sort of artisanal bakery/ice cream shop for 4 years.

It was small enough that one person could prepare the ingredients and run the place on their own. We opened at 10:00, which meant that I needed to arrive around 6:00 or 6:30 to get the dough prepared, chop the fruit, make toppings, etc. The messiness of the work prevented you from using your phone too much, and as it was super early, no one wanted to text with you either. Even the early morning walk there (I lived nearby) was pretty peaceful.

So, from about 6:30 to 10:00 everyday, I was disconnected from society and the Internet and working with my hands. While remote work has paid 10x the salary and provided infinitely more flexibility, I still miss that experience of waking up early and working physically on real objects instead of popping open my laptop at the last minute. In the future, I hope that we rethink computer work and make it less cut off from our nature as physical beings.
He seems to be hosting it himself, it's just that his counterparts on the other end of political extremism have campaigned to yank the cables out from under him.

The internet is built on peering relationships at the end of the day. Alice doesn't get to see Bob's website unless the intermediaries agree. In this case, the intermediaries are being made to disagree with Alice and Bob.

Hidden files on MacOS were used sparingly—the main instance of a hidden file is the file which stores an icon for a folder, if the folder has a custom icon. Hidden files are only hidden from the UI, they appear normally in the command line.

The standard Unix folders (usr, var, etc) are also hidden—to be honest, this is a compromise because the Unix filesystem hierarchy sucks, but we are saddled with it for backwards compatibility reasons.

I did appreciate the relative clarity of old macOS systems—everything in the OS was in “System Folder”, the rest of the filesystem was yours, and you could freely move applications without breaking anything, uninstall them by putting them in the trash, etc.
This can easily be manipulated - people are literally writing scripts to do regular but random commits to private repos.
