The "te" transliteration for 茶 in Min Nan comes from the Pe̍h-ōe-jī romanization system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pe%CC%8Dh-%C5%8De-j%C4%AB), which doesn't use the letter 'd' at all.

As was common for Chinese romanization systems from before the 20th century, it used 't' for unaspirated /t/ (which we would use use 'd' for today in systems like Pinyin for Mandarin or Peng'im for Teochew), and used 'th' for aspirated /tʰ/ (which we sould use 't' for today in systems like Pinyin or Peng'im).

This isn't an archaic miss transliteration, it's just an alternative transliteration strategy. In many languages that primarily use the latin alphabet, the phonemes associated with 't' and 'd' are /t/ and /d/, primarily distinguished by voice instead of aspiration (where aspiration is allophonic), so it's logical that the creators of earlier romanization systems focused on preserving that voice distinction, even if it's less common today for a variety of reasons.
When I learned about that interior camera in my Model Y, this is exactly what I thought might happen. But, I didn't want to cover it, because I wasn't sure if that would look suspicious in the case I was in an accident.

For summary extractions I’ve found Bard to be miles better than ChatGPT of late. Waiting for some of my dependent services to add api support for Bard… I’m guessing this will go back and forth a few times over the coming years.
Cool man. I appreciate your opinion.

I also agree that it's crucial to critically examine historical figures and not idealize them blindly, it's also essential to avoid oversimplifying or misrepresenting their lives.

Theodore Roosevelt certainly had privileges, but it would be unfair to dismiss his contributions and experiences entirely. The challenges he faced and his contributions to American history, both domestically and internationally, are more complex than a single perspective or narrative. Dismissing an entire life based on a few events can be as misleading as uncritical adulation.

JS is ~30% slower than Java or Go.

Go is a lot closer to JS perf than to C++ perf.

”Islamic Banking comes from a need to attract capital from where capital is, which in this case might be in the gulf…”

Pretty interesting. The key requirement seems to be that direct interest on loans is not allowed, so they structure financing differently to get around that. Results in some creative financing structures.

”The philosophy behind Islamic Finance is for the investor to be a partner in the risk”

I’m not sure how that’s conceptually different than Western finance, though.
Yes, but I don't want to explain to the FBI I was really trying to download a nature documentary.
This is true to a certain extent. If a build lacks the automation required to run without significant human oversight then it will be slow because it is complex.

But a normal build should be completely automatic (or at least close to it) and at that point whether it takes 30 seconds or 3 minutes doesn't really matter.
Look, Unity did have performance improvements in some aspects over the years but their output / productivity was really really really poor in the last 3 years related to their core product, the Engine.

This is the reason people were already fed up with it, this license change just pushed some over the top.

The trajectory of this project is not good at the moment and that is as much of a problem for users as the recent events.

I started a project 3 years ago and none of the features I based it on shipped with production quality in the meanwhile (and that was the assumption when going in back then, that this will eventually be fixed while development of the game was going on).

Godot is certainly not optimal, that is what people are discussing. The C# and expert userbase was missing. But the fact that people are raising these points meens that they see it worth to comment on. If Godot leadership takes the hint, they might bring their project to a trajectory which allows serious projects to give it a shot. So this time now will be critical. For both, Unity and their competitors.

I think none of the conversations and comments put out there are surprising. But I would argue that if people already had the motivation to switch, they might just go to Unreal if Godot gives them not enough performance. Or stay with Godot if their project is simple enough to be not effected.
That's really cool. One of the major issues I've had is ChatGPT not knowing about more recent changes to libraries/projects.

Collecting telemetry, and being able to tie it with people's GitHub profiles, is why Warp was able to secure millions of VC dollars to build a fucking mOdErN terminal emulator.
It should support the work of lee cronin and sarah walker (Assembly Theory), a novel way to identify compounds that are indicators of life by virtue of their complexity (so we don't need to make any dogmatic assumptions about what life can be made of). We still need to detect these things at a distance, so this paper is relevant, I think, but I also love Assembly Theory.

They have a new preprint that argues that Assembly theory can explain and quantify selection and evolution in complex systems: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02279 (I think that it is one of the more under-appreciated papers out there).
Why do you like that? What problems has it helped you solve or avoid?

The compile-time features end up being supported. The runtime features (e.g., invokeDynamic) less so.

OTOH, Android would benefit from virtual threads, too, which is one of the reasons they've jumped feet-first on the Kotlin train (and Kotlin's coroutines are pretty well designed).
Can you explain why you're excited about with virtual threads? I get that they improve throughput in extremely high pressure apps, but the JVM's current threading isn't exactly a slouch. Java's used in HFT shops, and more generally in fintech where performance matters.

Integer cents is fantastic for POS software and similar things that deal with at most a few thousand dollars at a time. The place where it starts to fail is when the absolute numbers get really large, not really small. Think "United States Federal Reserve" or "UBS". Then remember that some of these institutions need to deal with accounts denominated in Zimbabwean dollars.

Road planners can respond to shifts in demand by reallocating resources. It's not easy, but it's possible. No such thing when it comes to fixed rail. Fixed rail involves investment of staggering amounts of money under the assumption that things will be exactly the same 50 years from now as they are today.

In any other context, hackers would be mortally offended by such a proposition... but for whatever reason, hackers love trains.
Absolutely. For anything internet-based (social media, chat, meetings etc.) web apps are vastly superior for this reason. In fact, anything which doesn't explicitly need the richness of a true desktop GUI (e.g. Photoshop or games) should probably be a web app.

In addition to the massive benefit of running browser-sandboxed, web apps are also:

1. Easier to start and stop (open/close a tab)

2. Less permanent (clear your browser's local storage and no data is left to stagnate on your hard drive)

3. Portable - no installation required

4. Cross-platform by nature of being a website

And you're totally right about companies pushing desktop apps because they're more invasive. It's outrageous that a desktop app can access virtually anything on your system in a totally opaque way.

Desktop computing needs a massive push towards finely-grained privacy/security controls in a similar way to how browsers work.
You don't think blacks want to have cars too? This has nothing to do with race; that's just a distraction. As others have noticed, it's about corralling the population into more easily "managed" areas and depriving them of ownership.

Well yes, why do you think the noise died after the initial hype of Snowden leaking the docs? Do you honestly believe the mechanisms of for-profit journalism lets journalists be journalists? They got to eat and in this world you don't eat by covering yesterdays news.

NSA didn't have to lift a finger. Wait a few weeks and people move on to the next story, this should not be a shocking revelation to anyone.
Generally agree. Tiny utilities should be, well, tiny.

Will add that where possible, I’ll use the PWA version instead of the Electron version now that Safari on macOS can install PWAs that launch independently from the browser itself (unlike Chrome and its numerous cousins which require the full browser to be open). This sidesteps some of the native access concerns that come with Electron versions and is easier on the battery than the Electron version or a Chrome tab.
"Great" is subjective, when you use objective data, the reality is: not so much, besides they don't really make their own games, they buy studios/publishers and acquire IPs

They managed to kill Halo, they bought Rare in 2002 only to slack off for 2 decades

They still struggle to sell consoles despite having infinite cash and having spent an obscene amount in marketing

They launched 2 SKUs this gen, yet they couldn't release 1st party games for couple years, despite having bought a plethora of studios

Players have chosen, why should they still manage to buy their way in? They proved they are incompetent and incapable of moving the industry forward (even HW, proprietary storage expansion, same mistake as Sony's PSVIta era, generic controller vs Dualshock 5's gyro,haptic,speaker)

2 SKUs this gen, this is a out of touch move, they couldn't even anticipate the obvious mobile/handheld market boom (genshin), they are busy trying to buy their way in, it makes them in-flexible (rare W pun)

Honestly, both Valve / Nintendo (let's not forget that they also plan to buy Valve, according to the leaked email), are better the way they are, an acquisition by anyone would be a stupid idea and a huge mistake, for both companies and for the consumer

And let's not forget how they fucked up their Surface brand too, let's stop trying to put Microsoft everywhere

And let's not mention how horrible the Microsoft Store still is today

That's not the only publication that had access to the documents. From wikipedia

>the first of Snowden's documents were published simultaneously by The Washington Post and The Guardian. [...] The disclosure continued throughout 2013, and a small portion of the estimated full cache of documents was later published by other media outlets worldwide, most notably The New York Times (United States), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Der Spiegel (Germany), O Globo (Brazil), Le Monde (France), L'espresso (Italy), NRC Handelsblad (the Netherlands), Dagbladet (Norway), El País (Spain), and Sveriges Television (Sweden).

When I picked groceries in a freezer for Target, my pay was based on my performance relative to the baseline performance as measured by engineers. If I picked at a higher rate than 120%, I was granted incentive pay. If I picked below 80%, I was on my way to termination. It was meaningful on a $13.50/hr job.
wasn't ubiquiti totally compromised in that breach a couple of years ago?
That tool looked useful. Installed it and it immediately crashes when I tap "interface information". I guess my IP addresses are extremely top-secret.
I agree with you—I prefer explicit synchronization. But this isn't an accidental flaw in Java's design, it's the entire purpose of their chosen model. A lot of people dislike the fact that async/await causes function coloring [0] and as a result may lead to duplication of sync and async version of functions. These people see Java as dodging a bullet and learning from past mistakes in other languages, so it's unlikely that Java will have anything comparable to async/await.

This worried me as well when I started looking at Godot. It seems like it is, like other game engines, designed to not really allow you to separate your code from the engine code in any meaningful way.

The only things I have thought of, or seen others do, is to separate the game into a native library, or even a separate server process, that handles the game-world part of the game, and then use Godot as the front-end (client) gui only. But you will miss out on many of the engine's features since a lot of it is built around mixing on-screen objects with game-world objects. There isn't really any separation at all between what happens "in the game" and what is rendered to the screen.

But building the game from the ground up using Godot nodes, with a bit of GDScript here and there to tie things together, is definitely easy and very tempting to do. It pushes you towards that easy way of doing things.
If you're innocent, it's already too late.

It's crazy to me that people pay for access to these outlets. I wouldn't pay for any content except from individual journalists and a few very small outlets, and even then, would immediately stop if things ever turn for the worse.
Isn’t this the modus operandi of every company?

Example: You pay for a vehicle and they take all of your vehicle data and resell it. Uber as another, you pay for the ride yet get ads on your journey. There are many more examples.

Google/YouTube gave a reason, it was quoted in an article in The Guardian, I think. Violated terms of service, which apparently includes offline behavior, subject to YouTube's discretion.

We may or may not disagree, but I'm not discussing what you or I think should happen (you used that word again). I only commented on what did happen, and why I don't think Google/YouTube did anything legally wrong, or even ethically objectionable, given that their interests differ from Russell Brand's interests and no longer intersect since Brand became a social pariah. Google has to cater to a lot more customers than Russell Brand and his audience, and has to consider public opinion about alleged celebrity rapists.

We all have our interpretations and ideas about how YouTube and the world at large should work. I try not to spend a lot of time and energy trying to reconcile reality with how I think things should work.
I know java has fallen out of favor these days. I blame the ghastly complexity of j2ee and Spring, which can't seem to say no to any academic design pattern. Also Oracle

>Surprisingly, we also don’t use negative numbers (you may have encountered software ledgers that store only a single positive/negative balance). Instead, we keep two separate strictly positive integer amounts: one for debits and another for credits.

Structured concurrency does give you a “structure” on possible fork and join points, for a more high-level management.

Within virt threads, does it really matter? Every function takes as much time as it takes - the reason you use virtual threads is to make that efficient, the semantics is clear - your code is blocking, and waits for every previous statement.

Also, it is not quite valid to model it as types - these are more like effects.
My solutions aren't applicable to immigration, which has a far simpler solution. We hand out green cards to people at border INS offices. Half-hour interview, one time, they get on the bus immediately afterward. If they show up with the right paperwork, instant background check passes, etc.

Now these people can't be cheated out of wages or paid below minimum. They pay into taxes. Employers have to pay for health insurance. They suddenly become much less tempting to hire. They too, won't want gangbangers and criminals ruin things, but now they feel safe to contact the police. They'll now snitch on people sneaking in. Most of the problems that even the right complain about are caused by keeping them an underclass. If, is as claimed, they "steal jobs from Americans", then doing this would probably reverse the flow and we'd see emigration.

Years of practice have led me to this practical wisdom:

As long as things are consistent, no one cares if you are correct. If you lose a penny in the backend calculation, and the frontend shows the amount without the penny, and the email contains the amount without the penny, and the PDF download contains the amount without the penny, no one will care that there should be a penny there.

It becomes problematic if some places are wrong and some are right, and they are not consistent. You won't get credit for being right in only some places.

As long as the error is small enough to be inconsequential, being consistent is more important than being correct.
