So if certain western countries had done something back in the 19th or first half of the 20th century it's supposedly alright for China to behave the same way now?

Why? Your 'arguments' don't really make much sense. I mean whatever US was doing in the 19/20th centuries was no worse than what the other colonial powers did a hundred or two hundred years before that. Which was no worse than what the Mongols did during the middle ages. So according to this 'logic' everything everyone does is completely justifiable because someone did something worse at some point in the past? Absurd...

At the speed shown on TV, thermodynamics is a problem.

Let's take water as an example. Say you've got a supply of all the atoms you need and a way to place them precisely enough to reliably get water rather than a mix of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen gas.

When the atoms combine, they release as much energy as burning hydrogen in oxygen. Equivalent problems for virtually everything.

I'm not sure if it's provably impossible, but AFAIK there is no known way to cool this down fast enough to even be stable for the duration of the TV show's materialisation sequence.

What? This isn't a risk... just don't steal/commingle the funds. Plenty of banks have done that just fine!

This whole post is nonsense. Coinbase reassuring assets aren't commingled explicitly in an announcement like this is in-line with their usual writing tone for public announcements. Their whole brand is "the regulation friendly crypto exchange."

It seems to me that this is more just about the fact they've downsized a bunch with layoffs, and Coinbase Japan is just a casualty of that. Nothing more to it.
Coinbase is unprofitable _everywhere_. The US market being their largest is thus their most unprofitable.

You don't see them announcing a withdrawal from the American market. Only the FSA regulated market.

The problem is that Bun currently treats every file as an ESM module, which means everything uses strict mode but Node-RED relies on sloppy mode features like implicit global variables (if you omit "var", "let", or "const" in sloppy mode, variables are assigned to globalThis). Many of the other things with sloppy mode are handled by Bun's builtin transpiler (such as legacy octal literals), but this one is harder to do
UNIX was "free" though, because it was available in source tapes, which none of the competition was, and due to the restrictions on AT&T research use, they were only allowed to charge for a symbolic price of tape replication and sending costs.

The lawsuit and request to take the Lion's commentary out of print came after AT&T got allowed again to take profit from their research.

That was Digital Research’s GEM, which Atari had licenced for the GUI of TOS (they threw it together quite quickly). There was a whole thing about GEM and inspiration from Xerox PARC and Apple; that’s largely the reason why the Atari version was the only version that really made it to any kind of brief success.

Coinbase is well known for charging fees higher than competitors. Even with those fees they still lost around 500 million dollars in 2022 operating their exchange.
I'm not entirely understanding your position here. The series of "Unequal Treaties" [1] China regularly refers to are not imaginary. It started with the Opium Wars. These were a series of two wars in which the Brits insisted on selling opium in China, which had banned the trade. When China tried to stop opium ships, Britain invaded, plundered China, and forced them into a series of somewhat humiliating concessions.

Among these concessions was Britain claiming Hong Kong for themselves (which was only returned in 1997). Interestingly enough this happened twice! The legality of the opium was not completely clarified in the first war. After the second war the Brits forced China to legally accept their opium. And it just gets more sordid from there, with various "Unequal Treaties" continuing onward into the 20th century.

IMO this is even more outrageous than civil asset forfeiture. You get behind on property tax, the government balloons the debt 5x or 10x with fines, then they seize your home and sell it to pay the fines - and keep the profit! In one case mentioned in the article they kept over $200k. And these people have had to go all the way to the Supreme Court to undo this. It is utterly indecent that the government would give itself this power.
You have to negotiate with it and challenge it. It's not completely magic, but when you get into a good "dialogue" with it, the results can really flow.

I also have 20 years of experience, and was thinking the same thing about the article. Liked everything except the opinions. But for me the reason is a bit different.

Everything has benefits and drawbacks, and you always know the drawbacks of something you use better. Decisions are always about tradeoffs, never about "strong opinions". For example we recently had a discussion about git normal merge vs squash. My opinion was "I lean towards normal merge, but maybe in our context we prefer squash. Let's check with the team members...". Now if you have a strong opinion on either one, I know you are inexperienced, because you cannot just throw away the benefits and drawbacks of either one. You might fool juniors who equal strong opinion with knowledge, but not me.

And on juniors vs seniors, the biggest difference I see is that juniors can really get stuck on a problem, with nowhere else to go. A senior is always able to find a way.
And monks rely on donated, seasonal food, which they consume slowly and with great care. For many monks, this means a diet that primarily consists of beans, lentils, vegetables and the occasional fruit or meat.

Their lifestyles are so different compared to most people living in cities, that it's not surprising that they would exhibit physical differences compared to non-monks.
It varies a lot. I've had it write lots of lines of (at first glance) correct code, I've also had it suggest options for software (snakemake in my case) that didn't seem to exist on closer investigation.

But, it's a lot of fun the first couple of times. I recommend everybody to play with it. Have it plan a trip, write a short sci-fi story with your colleague in the lead. Ask it about how it can "think". It feels magical.

I open a tab in the morning and ask it things throughout the day, whenever I need to search for something.

> I don't have FU money, I still want to work as a software engineer and will have to very soon. The difference is that I will not trade quality of life for money, and I will try to find or create work on the terms that maximise happiness for me. These terms are different for everybody, so my solution is unique to me.

I'm inclined to agree, though of course having adequate savings and planning ahead both feel like pre-requisites to me. Best of luck!
For 16:9 screen sure, old wikipedia is too wide but I use side tabs in browser so my browsing area is closer to classical 4:3 monitor and the old one fit very well (for me) on that.
My pet peeve is the labeling of these things.

1)I'm going to give you an easy one to start. You see a toggle switch. It is set to on (probably - the little colour bar in the switch is coloured in).

It is labeled "Disable fnurbification".

Okay now what? Does "on" mean I'm going to be fnurbified? Does switching the switch disable the fnurbification so I actually have to switch it to "off"? No that's crazy. "on" means "disabled", cognative dissonance aside.

2) You see a toggle switch. It is set to on like before. It is labeled "Disable fnurbification".

We learned before that "on" meant "disabled", but that filled us with a vague sense of unease. For whatever reason we try toggling the switch. The text changes to just "Fnurbification"

Okay really now what? Is my fnurbification on? You try flicking the switch back. The colour fills in and the label changes to "Disable fnurbification" again. Okay what are we supposed to do?

What's happened is the designer has read a post on medium about accessibility and that screen readers don't read out the colour of the filled in part of a toggle switch, and has decided to help by changing the label when the state of the switch changes.

The problem is now the label could either be describing the current state or be describing what happens when you flip the switch. And there's really no way of knowing. I've seen this very often with the UX for boolean selectors where they use things like buttons rather than toggle switches. Does pressing the button do the thing it says on the label or does the label describe where we are now and pressing the button will reverse that? No way to be sure.

Postscript: Notice that whatever you decide is correct in the second case could change what you would do in the first case if the first type of selector is one that would change label when you toggle it.

Ryan Drake, the person I was responding to said, in general terms, that it is not as easy to land a job as they may have expected with numbers of difficulty an entire order of magnitude higher (or 2!) than existing anecdote.

Dot com bust was 1999; I came in around 2009, right after the Great Recession, one of the worst economic periods in recorded history. That’s the data. All of it. I’m not sure who the person I replied to got their data, but we’re talking about approximately 24 years of it, and most of those years were pretty damn good. So unless that person hasn’t moved jobs in the last decade and a half, they would certainly not be warning people, in general terms, about the impacts of a downturn economy. Either that, or their experience is rather singular. Looking at posts across Reddit and Hacker News, and the general consensus of people in this industry, it seems like this person is far outside the norm of employment viability.

Tech as a developer is still, far and away, the best job market to enter.

I am sure if you counted for example Skoda Octavia crashes it'd be way more than once a day.

Let's talk about "adaptive cruise control" too - I am not aware of any company other than Tesla having any sort of working crash protection built into that feature. My old Ford Mondeo just makes a loud noise and brakes a little, but you're going to crash anyways, it's not going to move the steering wheel an inch.

Volvo cars with "lane assist" will consistently turn you into the ditch - because it greatly overcompensates when you get near the line, which can be deadly above 100 km/h. And it's pretty hard to turn off that feature while driving and it turns on automatically when you power on the car.

Why do people keep hating on the provably most safe car (Tesla Model S) instead of mentioning all the other cars with terrible unsafe assistants? Roads would be much safer place if everyone had a Tesla.
First of all, what does it have to do with this particular library?

Second, get a grip, .NET is open source for a while, it's getting more popular again, JetBrains entered the stage with a very competetive IDE, it's easier than ever to use .NET via CLI, days of having to use Visual Studio, or any Microsoft product really, are long gone. I don't like Microsoft either but noone's forcing you to use any of their products anymore.
Adaptive scaling for real time video calling and media streaming
The real challenge with dynamically scaling a media delivery platform is managing high concurrency when conferences or stream viewership peaks and eventually subsides.

Let us consider, for example, the number of concurrent users ranging between 100-1,000 across 10-100 conferences. It would be a good idea to auto-scale the number of active media server instances based on usage to save a significant amount of cost and resources.

Jitsi’s architecture allows for dynamic scaling in real-time. In addition to being powerful and optimized, JVBs are built to scale, which make them more dynamic for media transport.

If any of the planet saving meat substitute promises are true, such a fake meat patty would cost a tenth of the beef equivalent and it would dominate the market.

I read somewhere you would need 25 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of beef, ergo one could potentially produce 25 times the amount of substitute.
Obviously that isn't true and such a patty is a specialized product of various highly processed plant matter.
It is around 2-4 times the price of meat equivalent and to me it is no surprise, that people aren't willing to pay more for an inferior product.

Now people say, well if we all had bought it, mass production would already reduced the price significantly.
I don't think people are paying new cooking methods and food processing reactors here.

There are more people involved, more complex ingredients, more processes, more shipping and more energy.
That is why it is much more expensive.
I’m an omnivore who enjoys eating meat. I also really enjoy these plant-based alternatives. I think we should avoid the anecdotal fallacy here.

I always assumed Apples default apps where value-add for the novice user.

In my professional circle I’ve only met one other developer who uses Apple Notes. I was using OneNote for the longest time. I’ve liked OneNote for one reason: cross platform syncing. Everything else about it I hated. I especially hated the latest OneNote for Windows which gutted most of the cool features from OneNote.

I’ve now switched to Obsidian. I use iCloud to sync with my phone. The only thing missing is cross platform and $8/month or $96/year for the rest of my life is just not worth it to me. So I manually sync to my Windows laptop when necessary.

> why plugging a keyboard into a keyboard port was considered such an inconvenience.

USB was a BIG deal, and a big improvement. It wasn’t the keyboards, it was the printers, scanners, external hard drives, and Zip drives.

Macs had something called “plug and play.” You plugged in a peripheral and it Just Worked. PCs didn’t have that. USB was intended to be the solution, and the most part, it succeeded.

BUT… the PS/2 connector was also a problem. In addition to there only being one keyboard connector on a typical computer—that happened to look just like the mouse connector, and wouldn’t work if you used the wrong one—it had an electrical flaw that could actually damage your motherboard if you plugged/unplugged it while the computer was on.

So, yeah, maybe don’t hate so easily.
