> You'll always have to use an appropriate font for the task, the encoding won't help you.

In practice in the pre-unicode world fonts were encoding-specific, so the encoding did help. When you viewed a Japanese document it would be in a Japanese encoding and you'd get a Japanese font, when you viewed a Chinese document it would be in a Chinese encoding and you'd get a Chinese font, and when you mixed up your encodings you'd get something that was obviously broken even to someone doesn't speak Chinese or Japanese.

> but those apply across all concerned languages and are not unique to Japanese

They're de facto unique to Japanese; Chinese support "won" in most international contexts, so "CJK" codepoints look fine in Chinese, and those codepoints are rarely used in Korean (mainly in historical documents) so having them rendered "wrong" there matters less in everyday life. Admittedly looking at another article that hit HN today I could believe Bulgaria gets equally shafted (and is probably, sadly, less capable of sustaining a "made in Bulgaria" software ecosystem than Japan is).

> Sure, one can make three codepoints out of these, no big deal. But then 言 occurs in a gazillion of other characters, as in 說這語信 and so on; all of these characters would then need to get codepoints of their own (which btw is exactly what happened with 說 vs 説 (and incidentally 说)). It gets worse when you consider that another one or two components of a given character may also have two or three variants, then you might get 3x2=6 or 3x2x3=18 codepoints for what most people consider a single character. And did I mention we already have around 100'000 codepoints for CJK Ideographs? That number would multiply considerably.

You don't have to add 18 variants, only 3, and that's the worst case. We don't need codepoints for letters that are half-Japanese half-Korean, or every other conceivable variant. But using Unicode shouldn't be a regression from using Shift-JIS.
I've worked with judges. I could give you a mapping of charges to local judges where I'd prefer the judgement of 12 random people off the street.

This isn't a normal job. We don't hire 6 to 23 people for a single job, and jurors aren't random. Yes, jury summons are sent randomly, but they'll have hundreds summoned and then jury selection starts. It's not unlike a job interview. If someone is on the jury who's going to be biased or unreasonable, that's a failure of their legal counsel.
I don’t mean to argue, and I would agree with you that the debt crisis it self was not because of Varufakis, or the entire semi-communist government that had to deal with it (which it self was voted in power to punish the “status quo”), but few doubt, (even the then prime minister, Tsipras) that the initial negotiation tactics were disastrous and almost resulted in a Grexit that was prevented at the last minute. Varufakis was not only promoting “creative vagueness”, but also was publicly bragging about playing the “chicken game” (who will chicken out first during a head on collision) with the EU partners. He was implicitly threatening a Grexit assuming that the EU would be too scared to do it. It was later found out that the German finance minister was also in favor of a Grexit, but fortunately the German chancellor was not. Also it was later found out that he together with some random US profesor (whatever) was trying to design a second “coin” (of course a crude resemblance of one: he would pay government employees with worthless coupons). This suggests that he was a self absorbed asshole out of touch with reality and the voters’ desire (no one in Greece wanted to exit the euro) whose negotiations admittedly costed Greece about 100 billion euros (or something of that order). He did not quit, he was expelled from the government, a government of incompetent naive idiots that rode the wave of populism in a moment of crisis and not criterion and ability to chose a capable finance minister. So given that, I believe it is fair to say that his world views are probably also out of touch with reality, he would also purposely deceive, and therefore he does not have any credibility. An essay from ChatGPT is more likely to be on the point.

I’ve often wondered if just being able to change the “type” that applies to rows within a spreadsheet would be useful.

The author makes the same argument comparing it to the farmers' protests a while back. The difference is that the farmers' protests were a one-off or maybe two-off thing, while these climate protesters have been doing it systematically for over a year now, and between that and things like attempting to destroy priceless art it's no wonder people are starting to see them as terrorists. And it doesn't require any conspiracy by shadowy powers to make the average person think that.

Exactly. My partner and I live in a big city and both make north of $80K, but there's no reality in which we can purchase a house when offers are coming in 10% above asking/waiving all inspections/all cash/etc. So we are choosing to put that house fund towards having an actual wedding (instead of a courthouse one like we originally planned), traveling, and putting a small amount back for emergencies.

True. But we're always presented with cool concepts that never make it to production.

This DeLorean is obviously just a concept by a designer, but take the ID Buzz from Volkswagen. Went from cool to meh.

Same for lots of Mercedes concepts. It seems like the designers are just having some fun before the boss shows up and orders them to be boring again.

Another great example is this supercool electric Manta by Opel. I think it will never make it to production even though it would no doubt sell like crazy.

Within the philosophical viewpoint that led to the Declaration of Independence, yes. Almost all governments aren't operating within that philosophy, though. (In fact, the US isn't, either[1].) So in practice, most governments do not grant to their citizens the same rights that the US does, no matter whether or not people should have those rights simply by virtue of being human.

[1] "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights..." That is, God gave us certain rights, and nobody - not king or president, not parliament or Congress - has the legitimate authority to take them away. The US government does not operate on the basis of God-given rights; it operates on the basis of Constitution-given rights. It has done so, I think, ever since the Constitution.
This is the idea that Schrödinger was attempting to ridicule in his cat thought experiment. The intent is that this idea is intuitively ludicrous. Unfortunately pop culture got hold of it and now, well, "Ooh quantum stuff, put cats everywhere" ...

On the other hand, Greg Egan did a couple of short stories about what if the underlying mathematics (which necessarily governs our universe) is altered when we "discover" weird things about it and this binds us to other universes sharing that mathematics, so we can't go there, and they can't come here, but if they discover something weird about the relationship between Pi and set theory that becomes true here even though we haven't "discovered" that, and if they can choose to discover something different, that is true instead.
“Backspace” is already a misnomer: the original intention was for it to move the caret one position back, the other way around from the usual space, thus enabling overstriking (whence also the characters _ ^ ` , unheard of before the typewriter age). You can still see this used by the troff|less internals of man, which encode underline and bold as _<BS>a and a<BS>a respectively.

Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and Alerts
The way I see it: Memorizing puts things in your RAM (which may be slow to access), or CPU cache (if recently used). Looking them up would be equivalent to having them stored on your hard disk, or perhaps a remote system if you have to search a while to find them again. Clearly, this is a trade-off and the optimal approach depends on the specifics.
If one is already being fired or forced out due to broken promises, depending on their personal circumstances and how well documented such broken promises are it could be worthwhile suing them for it.

You are quite correct that continuing on with the company (or in that corner of the industry) may - well, likely will be - impossible afterwards. Few things say 'burnt bridges' like a lawsuit. That said, being fired because of a promise they broke is them starting the bridge on fire anyway.

Either way, the CYA handbook is - document, document, document. And keep it where no one but you has control over it. You have no power if you can't prove anything. And documents 'go missing' or get 'automatically removed' from company equipment all the time in situations like this.

knowing if you even have a case or complaint is also important - which is only going to be possible if you can see what was actually said (not what you remember being said) or written. Sometimes we hear what we want to hear, not what was said. Knowing that BEFORE you show up in court is rather important.

Many sites don't need JS at all, like the OP of this thread for example. For a lot of sites, disabling JS actually gives a better experience than leaving it enabled, again like the OP of this thread. It's a trade-off, but I find most uses of JS are so bad it's worth putting up with whitelisting. For example, I don't see cookie pop-ups, I don't see videos, disabling JS kills most of those stupid sticky headers that web designers love so much, and whatever too-clever crap the OP of this thread was doing is completely bypassed. The web is so, so much better with JS off by default.

For those sites that do need JS, NoScript's whitelist feature makes it quick & easy to fix. The first time I visit a new site, if it is obviously broken, then I whitelist the main domain. If that doesn't fix it, then I whitelist a couple likely-looking domains (often sites import JS from similar domains, or from common library domains). That's enough to get probably 90+% of websites working, while still leaving most garbage JS disabled. The remaining ~10% of websites that need a dozen domains whitelisted are probably not worth visiting anyway, so I just move on at that point. Or NoScript even lets you temp-whitelist everything for a given tab and just put up with the misery to get whatever I need from that one site. Since the whitelist persists forever, and I don't visit hundreds of different websites every day, after some time it becomes pretty rare that I need to whitelist more than one or two things per day.

You maintain an adblock blacklist, I maintain a NoScript whitelist. Not so different :)

> This person as far as we are aware is NOT a designated person that sanctions are impacting and they are NOT located in Russia.

Irrelevant. If you read up on the Russia sanctions[1] you'll learn that violating sanctions is a criminal offense, and they are set up so that the responsibility to ensure not only that "your Russian agents, partners or suppliers are subject to current financial sanctions" but also "if individuals or organisations are ‘owned’ or ‘controlled’ either directly or indirectly by designated persons".

This means that in order to ensure that a company will not be committing a crime by doing a payment, they need to do an extensive background check on the payment recipient, and even then they would be taking a major risk.

In the very least, this would require extensive cooperation from the payment recipient to go through the necessary lengths to demonstrate satisfactorily that paying them wouldn't violate sanctions.

However, in this case the person in question seems to already have a propensity to be deceitful and disingenuous in the way they chose to present the problem.

You a right here, this may allow the case to be called extreme. But I am not sure he deserves the death penalty.

Extreme outliers are often used to justify extreme measures. The question is, should they? In an EU country we had just a murder case, a teen was murders by two girls, aged 13 and 12. Since this is below of the age of criminal responsibility for the country, where they were committed, people argued the age for criminal responsibility should be lowered to 12 or even below. Are extreme outliers a good basis for this? And if age of criminal responsibility is lowered to 12 or 10, should not the "age of consent" be lowered to 12 or 10 too?
Why So Many Americans No Longer Trust Science
> X are overrated!

That statement can definitely be true for many technologies, either because of a lot of hype and promises surrounding them (e.g. the history of MongoDB and how the NoSQL movement was like initially), or due to the mistaken belief that you need them from the very beginning of development even in cases when they are a good fit. I guess the first part is basically describing the Gartner hype cycle, which feels vaguely truthful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle Even good tech is susceptible to this, until people actually figure out what it's best used for and when.

If you're in the early stage of developing a prototype, or are working on a system for a small business, then a single RDBMS can indeed work for most use cases - even when you need to store JSON, use full-text indices or even store a reasonable amount of binary data (or even a NoSQL solution, depending on the constraints). It's the same with how you can build an entire business on a monolith written in boring tech, like .NET or Java, with whatever you want for the front end.

Eventually, you might be well served to branch out - at the point where the need for something more specialized becomes more pressing and you can actually afford the time and human resources to manage the complexity/integration effort and so on, or even hire people proficient in that particular tech in the first place. If you have an entire team just for search, then you're probably at that point. If it's just another ticket in your issue tracker for a developer or two to implement, just use the simple index approach with hopefully good enough results.

If it's a greenfield project and you're doing something very novel, all bets are probably off, though.

The article basically implies that some non-professional coder will be doing assembly and basically doing the work of an optimizing compiler. I think the point of the parent is that if you are at this point already, and you're in an academic setting, you might as well real a full computer architecture textbook front to back.

I would be curious to know of all the "scientific coders" what percentage of them understood the entire article. I'd be similarly curious how much your typical "bootcamp" developers would understand of it. I know everything presented, so it basically comes off as a "lecture notes" for someone that already knows it. Someone that doesn't understand SIMD, CPU fundamentals, assembly, and compilers, I'd imagine their eyes would glaze right when the assembly code appeared.

And while SSDs are MUCH FASTER than HDDs, the basics of interacting with storage is the same, just that rather than waiting a million years for data to arrive from the CPU's perspective, it comes in 10,000s of years.

Monitoring is the result of poor privacy laws, not zoning regulations. In the US, we have no movement restrictions in our pre-1910, well-designed towns, so the two are not correlated here. Ghettos are not inevitable. I think a lack of transit or highway access is definitely a major concern, which is why modern planners need to ensure that dense, multi-use, 15-minute cities have both. The same mistakes were made in the US with our streetcar suburbs ... we removed the transit and ended up with many claustrophobic areas with poor access. None of this is inevitable, but it happens when planning is disregarded, and cities have illogical zoning and planning regulations, or when regulatory capture is allowed to run rampant.
Yes and that's amazing -- but law exams resemble programming exams. In the wild, both labors require you to keep a mountain of project-specific context in your head, something that tests like the LSAT cannot evaluate.
