> This was the thinking in the 1980s when the US invited China into their global trade network.

The US didn't invite china to anything. The US begged, threatened and cajoled china to open their immense and cheap labor force. China had what the US wanted. It was nixon that went to china, not mao that came to the US.

> The thinking was they would move away from communism and Russia and towards an open Democracy.

That's as stupid as saying we helped saudi arabia, kuwait, qatar, etc develop their oil and gas field so that they will become christian. If your assertion was true, we'd be trading with cuba and north korea today. If your assertion was true, we would have been top trading partners with the soviet union. Instead we isolated the soviet union and sanctioned them. Did we only want china to be a democracy? Not the north koreans, cubans and soviets?

> Such as the Democracy movements in the 80s that were ultimately crushed in Tiananmen square.

'Democracy' movement. Right. And look where china is today? I think china made the right decision to crush the 'democracy' movement. Don't you?

It's the same debunked propaganda I've been hearing from the likes of gordon chang since the early 2000s. Morons actually believed we invaded iraq to bring freedom and democracy. So it shouldn't be surprising that morons believe we exploited their cheap labor to bring democracy to china. It's cringe level propaganda.

The Age of the Museum Is Over
That approach could work too. There may be a few minor nuances here and there but it's workable. Each level currently does save the running score so far, and resets it to that value when the player restarts the level. It's just not saved as a high score on the overall leaderboard until the player actually ends the game session.

There's a section in the post about the ethos behind the scoring system and how it's designed to incentivize good gameplay while accommodating for speedrunners as a non-primary audience. It also ties in with the part about sawtooth difficulty curves and skipping levels. So some of these considerations can come into play here. In general I tried to reproduce the retro feel of arcade games without taking away from the strategy/puzzle solving kernel.

But yes, definitely. That's a valid approach too.
For archeologists, some of the most common and valuable placed to dig are called “middens”. That is an old word that means trash dump. They are a source of tons of information on everyday lives of people of the past.
I've had remote work as an option since 2010 minus 1.5 years at 2 employers.

It's most valuable when I spend extra weeks with my my aging parents, or spend the time traveling and spending mornings and evenings exploring.

Even for short international stints where I can effectively travel twice as long because I'm working too. My wife can't travel internationally and work from home, and it's slightly frustrating for her even though it would only impact us a few days a year on average.

I wouldn't quit without a job, but I'd quickly put my resume out there.
> Can we feel confident that an Apple HEIC sitting inside an iPhone can be read 120 years from now?

As long as we are still on the same technological path, then yes, we can be confident.

Chemistry and lenses are a form a technology, such as required by developing and printing photographs.

They couldn't be sure that when they invented Photography that people 120 years in the future would be able to work with the negatives.
Certainly people could view prints if they hadnt faded into nothing, but developing or projecting prints from negatives requires a certain level of technology.

Many negatives from the early days of film and photography have just disintegrated and are gone forever. Yes, modern prints are more durable, but they don't last forever. Old processes for analog and digital technologies are often rediscovered.

I'm optimistic :-)

Having said that, digital archive projects are tremendously important to preserving our history.
The article doesn't say if this is more or less than in the past. It's not like this is a new thing. It's always been a thing.
Solving the case of the tricky timeout bug
> I never understood the argument "I spend more time thinking than coding". You are still going to write the same amount of code whether you're thinking or not. My ideal world (why I love typing fast) is that that time of me coding gets brought down by 50-200% over someone who types slow.

My perspective on this (I'm not a fast typist, but don't feel it's a big limitation) is that I can think while typing, so if I can type at least as fast as I can plan the next bit of code, there isn't any benefit to typing faster.

Of course, that isn't the complete picture, and I wouldn't be surprised if typing out less concrete thoughts (which might mean the same as when you say "prototyping and deleting tons of code") might improve my code or speed me up in plenty of situations. It's also possible there are things I avoid more than I should (such as writing short programs to see how some interface behaves) because I'm too slow at typing.

If you want exciting look up floating neutral.

the neutral grounds both sides of the split phase and mainly serves to carry current when the load on each phase is unbalanced. when the neutral is cut off from ground all current has to be carried by the phase. if the loads are balanced, everything appears fine. when it is not you end up with a spooky electrical system. as now you have a series connection with a built in voltage divider. on one side the voltage will be too high on the other too low.
I’ve thought about doing something like this, only using foot pedals to put it into “shorthand mode”. Having the pedal as a modifier would eliminate the need to worry about text collisions between your shorthand and normal typing.
I think this violation of privacy strikes the correct balance. Hospitals (especially ERs) are already quite full on a regular basis; making every room private would do substantial physical harm to many patients who'd wait much longer for treatment or have to forgo it entirely.

(Perfect privacy would also require soundproofed rooms for phone calls, mantrap doors for patient rooms so you can't get an inadvertent peek while walking by, and probably dozens of other expensively impractical mitigations.)

HIPAA requires "reasonable safeguards" to permit this sort of balance to be struck.

Practically speaking I agree, but it's a step backwards in that it's the direct consequence of legislation to remove extant environmental/habitat protections that were put in place by state/federal management agencies. This is not really dissimilar to legislatures in certain states that legislate policies that override hunting/fishing agencies recommendations due to public sentiment (NJ bear hunt ban or the bill in Wisconsin legislature trying to increase quotas for wolf harvest).

Conservation, habitat and environmental protection should, by nature, be managed on longer scales than what election driven and political legislatures are capable of.

It’s not a community in the sense of a small town community or an actual country club.

Most people from that Usenet era were nerdy early 20 year olds who thought they were the shit (and in some aspects the were, but in others they weren’t). Some like Dave Fischer (who probably coined the term [1]) even thinks that they were wrong in preventing “the idiots” from coming in. The elitist attitude is the same whether you want people to conform to a specific etiquette when posting on Usenet or want specific people out of politics or positions of power because “we just don’t do things like that on the hill”.

I've been putting together a small write-up on these headers [1] and my own crazy conspiracy theory as to why I think they are not utilized any more just so I could keep track of the discussions. They have existed for quite some time and are trivial for both website operators and clients to implement. As a funny side note there is code looking for RTA headers in yt-dlp [2] One could even get a small sample of sites using the header without a Shodan login [3].

If you end up buying one of these, I recommend against the more expensive version with a stainless-steel exterior - it has a low-quality heating element that repeatedly burnt out from regular usage. The 20-year-old green cooker still works flawlessly, though.

I agree with the other posters that this isn't really a great rice cooker, exactly - a fancy Zojirushi makes significantly better rice, every time, and sings while doing it.

However, this thing excels at steaming, or reheating, or making soup, and so it remains a fixture on our countertop.

The consequence is that I stopped using it - I will also not give them any money in the invent of and IPO when before I would have strongly considered it. Have been using it since it was vaporware and digg was the thing. Anecdotally in my circles of friends everyone migrated to lemmy or some sort of rss reader. Yes, we may not be the users reddit is targetting nowadays but once the techies move on reddit is going to be a shadow of its former self.
A certain amount of people probably would have taken the time to learn how to do something like host a web page on shared hosting or even github pages, but don't because it's both easier to upload to a platform, and you get infinitely more reach - sometimes facilitated by the platform (e.g. TikTok often promotes <10 view videos to gauge them, and will skyrocket a post from an otherwise new account if enough viewers interact with the video).

However, if these platforms exist, there's no telling how many multitudes more people wouldn't even attempt to put stuff online. Life is busy and spending even an hour setting up an online presence on the "open web" is too much for most people.

That's a good point, though even a truck with 80 PSI tires would do so much more damage, >27x for a unit area, multiplied by the much larger area the tires contact the ground, that it could be hundreds of times more.
re: “It's why all their other services, save for gmail and google docs, have come and gone.”

I am still bitter they cancelled Google Wave, and then the cool Apache open source version stopped being supported.

A lot of our digital lives fades away when Google and other companies sunset products. I am mostly OK with that, since new stuff gets developed also. We control our own personal domains and web sites, our own writing, and our code. I can live with enjoying tech Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc. produce, hopefully without having strong dependencies on any of it.

For countries like Vietnam, that might be due to lack of investment.

For the last few decades, everyone was concentrating on China. This I believe has began to change - foreign investment in China is down if Im right.

On the other hand relationships between Vietnam and the West has been thawing the last decade or so - especially with the US.

Countries like Mexico are also looking to take on some of China’s manufacturing load - their proximity to the US is an advantage.

Tariffs on China effectively gives all their competitors a competitive advantage which will only help develop said competitors.

I don't know how it is working on large teams, but for my daily work working alone I usually write maybe 10-15 emails, I issue a dozen or more commits, I outline specs (a vague word I'm using which could mean writing documentation, writing technical explanations to clients, writing comments, commits, boilerplate, talking about technical things to my peers via chat).

The entire technical burden of all things fall on me, so I suspect I'm editing code a good 6-8 hours of the day, and the other 3-4 hours at the computer are spent communicating of some form. I wish I knew how many words I typed per day but it must be seriously 10's of thousands. Maybe 5000-15,000 depending on the day. Now I imagine doing that.......... 3 times slower. That gives me excrutiating physical pain.

If I sat in a vaccum, with no outside communication, and nothing else dependent on me whatsoever, and I was basically given a single task to produce a 50 line file by the end of the day, and the other 7 hours was spent deep in thought, then i could see typing not being important.
OR and this might sound crazy, not implement a stupid system of taxes and fees to begin with.

Why is trust in institutions considered good in itself? If institutions don't behave in a way that engenders trust, why is that the fault of the citizenry? It's like being told by an abuser that they aren't abusive

Why are we framing trust as a moral imperative here? Why is it that all other governments need to earn the trust of their citizenry, but the American government for some reason is entitled to it a priori?

Typing faster is always going to be a benefit.

But, on the other hand, if people are typing 30wpm, they would benefit from training to improve their typing speed.
