From my experience, I don't think this is true (at least not in the way that matters). I finished my PhD in CS as few years ago from a good school and I am now a researcher in industry. In my time in grad school and industry, I have only seen one of the many Chinese nationals I met during my studies return to China. The Chinese researchers and interns I work with have no desire to return to China. The interns express concerns about job opportunities and quality of life if they were to return to China after finishing graduate school. I have never met any non-Chinese researchers who expressed interest in working in China either in industry or academia.

Obviously this is anecdotal so take from that what you will. The computer graphics and machine learning communities in academia and industry are small (even with the ML/AI explosion), if this was happening in any significant amount it would be difficult to miss it.

As for research output, I think there are definitely more top-tier papers from Chinese universities than in the past. It still seems like there are more Chinese surnames from Europe and NORAM universities than from Chinese ones. The big names in the field are still in European and NORAM universities.

I wonder how these are articles you linked are counting numbers. It's hard to understand how something like this could be happening completely under the radar.
That was my thought. I like many DEs that are derived from Gnome, but in its default state Gnome is missing a lot of features, and yet still consumes a lot of RAM despite that.

I picture Gnome as a platform to be built on rather than a standalone DE

> [...] experts say, is mostly a function of the increasing role of power and velocity in the sport. Even clay courts, historically the slowest surface, play hard and fast these days. Players, who spend more and more time in the gym, keep getting bigger and stronger, and now hit forehands at more than 100 miles per hour. Rackets and strings allow for so much topspin that rally balls from even average players are bouncing up to eye level, making it hard for even the 6-foot-7 Eubanks to get on top of the ball on some backhands.
David Nainkin, who leads player development for men for the United States Tennis Association, has advice for any young talent he sees wielding a one-handed backhand — get rid of it. The two-handed backhand is far more stable, he said, and the motion is shorter and simpler.
“It’s almost impossible to make it with a one-handed backhand now,” he said. “I think you’ll see less of it maybe in the next 10 years.”

I use old.reddit, with ublock origin not just to block ads but to block specific reddit buttons or things they try to introduce, and with res I have my regular subs I visit added as shortcuts in a top bar.

I never see anything I don't want to, and it's very useable this way. I literally never just see the 'reddit homepage', it's always a sub I specifically want to see.
For real though, focussing something like that is not easy. Unless you're measuring your angles really carefully you're probably not going to create a death ray.

There have been some attempts (including a couple by Mythbusters) to replicate the legendary heat ray of Archimedes, but it looks somewhat implausible with the tech of the time.

Open Source Anti-Patterns with Kelsey Hightower
The Nazis goal of the war was to eradicate all the jews. It was since, at least, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. It shows in their actions, in how they organized, who got which resources. It was their goal, murdering all jews, and went about it with murderous and frighting efficiency. They only stopped outright murder in has chamber to enslave a portion of people ending up concentrations camps, the vast majority being jews, when Nazi Germany ran into work force issues. It was Speer who convinced Himmler that was necessary, so the Nazis settled for murder through work.

No idea what you mean that the Nazis behaviour regarding slaws, not just Russians, isn't talked about in the West. I am in the West, and I defenitely didn't learn about from Russian books. Also, claiming the West sees Russians as sub-human is a strong claim, to put it mildly...
> This shows that they are willing and able to collaborate with any government, no matter how repugnant their stance on human rights, if it will result in increased revenue or market access for Google. That's evil, in my book.

Google actually left China and didn't go back. That's rather different to other large tech companies. Consider Apple, which not only never left China but become totally dependent on it for manufacturing the phones they sell elsewhere, and direct revenue from iPhones and the App Store. For example Apple is regularly giving user data to the Chinese authorities -- they get thousands of requests per year and handing over the data in the vast majority of cases [0]. Google has accepted one request in a decade [1].

So it's pretty odd to use China as an example of why they're evil. How can their leaving and aborting a later attempt to re-enter be worse than Tim Cook being held over the barrel by the CCP and doing little to get out?

The best part of the post for me is:

"""I have contributed code to wget. Several wget maintainers have contributed to curl. We are all friends."""
You’re missing an important point: It’s possible to carry some of your money with you, and leave most of it somewhere more safe, in whatever form, just like with cash.
I had never heard of inverseMap. I suppose it only works where every variant can only be parsed in the same way it is rendered.
It has had a ton of money thrown into it to make it a thing, due to the sheer size of the addressable market in the US and the disposable income that's up for grabs (due to being primarily played by older / less mobile people). Jack Sock is a good example of this.
This isn't "a couple of weeks ago" issue. The enshittification most likely begin when they rolled this modern design and used variety of darkpatterns on existing users to trick them to move into updated interface. This was all done to attract younger audience who has short attention spawn and who doesn't mind ads and sponsored content served via this bulky interface that keeps you interacting with site under dozens of "load more" elements.

Tho, perhaps the slow decay of site started even earlier with arrival of Ellen Pao; content already was spiraling down at that time

I don't think there's any hope for reddit; I expect that site will be even more sanitized to the point no "unsafe" content will be allowed to be posted. There are subs around that already are being used as platform for spreading PR of companies, which have nothing in common with these exotic truly run by ordinary people small communities.

You recall incorrectly. curl's -C flag does not work as-is. You must specify the offset from where it should continue. Why doesn't it take the resumed file's existing length as the guess by default? What else could the user want outside of some very exotic cases?

Yes, I want retries. They should be the default for a user-facing tool. Try searching the curl's manual page for "retry". There are no less than 5 different interdependent flags for specifying retry behaviour: --retry-all-errors, --retry-connrefused, --retry-delay <seconds>, --retry-max-time <seconds> and --retry <num>

If I "just" want it to retry, surely there's a boolean flag like "--retry" that enables sane defaults? Nope! --retry takes a mandatory integer argument of maximum number of retries. Surely I can set it to zero for a sane default? Nope again: "Setting the number to 0 makes curl do no retries."

curl is a good tool if you know it through & through and want exact control over the transfer behaviour. I don't think it's a good tool if you just want to fetch a file and except your tool of choice to apply some sane behaviours for you to that end, that would probably make sense if you are a human rather than an application using a library.
I'm surprised we don't have something like this in the U.S. Just last week I was withdrawing cash from an ATM because I was worried the power would be out for a few days and my debit card wouldn't work.
I had forgotten about that, but now that you remind me I used to make that point when I recommended Google to friends. Now I feel like a sucker all over again.

Good researchers are often bad educators, and vice versa. It doesn't matter so long as the information is good, and the credentials of the speaker are a poor signal for quality of information.
It's great for communities, but not for organising anything within that community.

The point I'm trying to make is that the perceived difficulties are part of any communication system. You need communication, because just a website isn't enough for finding people to team up with. I've seen all the problems you have with email happen in Discord servers that weren't even trying to organise anything.
> infighting instead of solidarity

Well, it would be easier for non-unionized workers to empathize with unionized if they stopped the ridiculous cancelling/blackmailing/ostracizing of workers who take up “union work”. It’s beyond anticompetitive to go on strike while simultaneously making it career suicide for a young professional who just graduated or something from accepting what would otherwise be a career defining opportunity. The WAG is notorious for this.
The cards are kind of a cash-substitute.
Also add -i which lets wget read URLs from a file. In particular wget -i - which makes it read from standard input, and is very useful in pipelines.

curl cannot, AFAIK, do this. People usually suggest using xargs, which is a mediocre substitute because it waits for all the URLs to arrive before invoking curl, giving up any chance at parallelism between the command generating the URLs and the one downloading them.
Yes, I've seen stories marked as dupe. But aren't they posts pointing to exactly the same URL or with exactly the same title? That isn't sufficient IMHO. It has to detect posts about the same news subject. It's not a trivial problem, as follow-up stories in the media could be detected as dupes, rightly or wrongly, depending on the criteria of what exactly is a dupe.

> But I've been told that Polish is perfectly phonetic without any weird pronunciation surprises.

I don't know about Polish, but I have had conversations where native speakers think that until exceptions are pointed out, because they are unaware.

There's also the issue of accents, where we expect spelling to be universal across the language, but pronunciation in some accents have drifted (ie. it's not a straightforward mapping).
I think that's the right perspective.

And in fact, as many a strategy game buff knows, it is rarely a single move or "feature". Even chip industry doesn't exist in a vacuum, it needs trained employees, good management, good regulation... It is all about who can build and maintain a more productive ecosystem, at the end of which is the output of high quality chips.
Polish orthography – however bizarre it may look to foreigners at first glance – does map pretty closely to the spoken language, but it still isn’t perfectly phonetic. For example, the reflexive pronoun się is written with a nasal vowel, but whether the vowel is pronounced as a nasal vowel or as a non-nasal vowel differs across regions.
One conveys actual information the other would be basically just a release announcement and leave important details to the motivated reader.
> My question is - is WideVine taking my rights to fair use away? If yes, can I fight for them somehow? Also I live in Poland and I'm convinced that our rights of fair use are really widened comparing to those that are in US.

They're not. They're narrower than in the US, because US fair use is very vague where as copyright law in any EU country is an implementation of the EU InfoSec directive https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32....

The directive sets out a number of limited, specific exemptions to copyright that people accused of infringement can use as a defence. The are much narrower than "fair use". And "I want to make a meme" isn't one of them.

And again, none of these are rights. They are defences. Nobody is required to actively facilitate them, and you can point a camera at your screen if you want to in order to utilise them for, say, criticism and review.

As you say, the act says "permissible." That's not the same as "you have an inalienable right nobody can block or even get inadvertently get in the way of."
Yeah, anything you assert has to be proved at runtime. Liquid Haskell just a) checks your assertions are consistent with the type returned and b) avoids you having to check again.

You could theoretically remove all the unnecessary checks by hand, but it’s tricky.
Being slow and expensive doesn't make something a scam. If you falsely label the blockchain as a scam, and want people to not have even the option of using, I contend that your real issue is with people having self-custody over their money, and thus you believe in a modern form of serfdom.

Ah, but check out the personal pronouns:

English Russian Finnish Hungarian

me, menya, mina, en

we, my, me, mi

thou, ty, te, ti

he, on, hän, ő

What's very weird is that it is probably not because the languages are related, but because the same forces that create pronouns, work in a similar way across languages. It's important the sounds be very different, for example, to minimize ambiguity. And they're some of the first abstract words children learn. Something similar is seen with informal terms for "mother" and "father" which have a very strange similarity across languages (e.g. in Chinese, English and Swahili "baba" means father.)
You know, I think these sorts is scientific research explainers would be better if they actually just said what they did, what the insight was, what we can do now or what predictions we can now make.

I understand the desire to make the discovery accessible but this does not accomplish that. If we measure information by “what predictions can a reader now make that they couldn’t make before” then this press release is information free.

Instead we have a lot of words to attempt to create the impression of having read something.

Redbox is still a reasonable option for mainstream recent releases but it does mean you have to commit to watching something tonight and return it the next day-ish. Netflix was nice in that it had a huge back catalog and, when you got a disk in the mail, it was fine if you didn't watch it for a week.

At the end of the day, there are alternatives but, if you liked watching a variety of movies, Netflix DVD was a pretty low friction way of doing so.
It doesn’t matter which party you as an individual prefer, but there is big money in trying to change or entrench the preferences of groups of people.
Yeah, this is how I use Reddit too. I see the writing on the wall though. They are coming for our beloved old interface. It won’t be long before we are deplatformed so they can try and monetize the crazy ones who make the journey over to the confusing and ad riddled new interface.
Consumer protection law in the EU/UK has got this covered for those citizens.

To the best of my knowledge EU consumer protection laws only state that you must be allowed to return the product for a full refund of the product (not shipping). It says nothing about who should pay for return shipping, that is up to the company.

On a practical level, many companies do offer free returns, as most people would avoid companies that don't if given a choice.

Even without anonymity, it raises the cost for the government to enforce broad restrictions, because the chokepoints—which are intermediaries like financial institutions—are gone.

In any case, anonymity is a gradient. It's a question of how much resources a state has to expend to track a user, and that value can be increased with better privacy technology, so that the state has to eschew broad-based restrictions on mutually voluntary interactions and focus its investigative resources on only the most dangerous actors, who engage in genuinely predatory behavior (murderers, thieves, etc).

Tesla’s batteries are modular, and you can easily repurpose them. Yes, you’ll need a new charge controller, but that’s it.

More often than not, you’d want your own charge controller anyway to for example run at a lower voltage (different series). At least for the Model S/X modules. The 3/Y modules are a little bit trickier to re-use because they are higher-voltage and not as modular.
