I've put a bit of effort into trying to make it work with the python apps we write at my company. We have a lot of electrical engineers who only write python and we're butting up against the limit of what the language can do as far as the data we need to process..

It's worked well in some cases, but the main situation where we needed it to work was with a GUI application where there was no separation between computation and the GUI elements.. I tried really hard, and got frustratingly close, but could not build wxPython that would work using pypy.

But it's super cool imo, as someone who has to write/maintain python code it's awesome to see some innovative work to make the language faster.
I don't understand the last bit about the Model F Keyboard playing a role. Neither the slash nor backslash keys require shift to be pressed. Unless they just mean that the slash already had another role and therefore the only other free key was the backtick?
While I would think that, realistically most of my principles are for sale for a few billion dollars.
In some way you have a point
That's interesting. I found Go to be a very productive and easy language, coming from Typescript.

But I had a similar experience like yours with PHP, I just couldn't get into it.
> increases division in Western countries

I'm not convinced anything on TikTok is more divisive than any other social media platform. And Reddit seems to be filled with a lot more tankies than other platforms.
There is so much false equivalence in this thread it's stunning. If you're Europe, do you want to trust the country that just doubled its trade with Russia, or the country who just sent $60bn to Ukraine and is in NATO? The level of naivete from tech people of anything outside their bubble (in this case geopolitics and foreign policy) is unbelievable, it's like they live in a fairy tail world where everyone who does spying is somehow equally hostile to Western interests. It's just not true.

Europe cares about Russia and by extension, China. America is an ally helping them fight their enemy. Don't confuse yourself into thinking anything else.

> If this is something you need, it smells like "runtime checking" not amending the type system.

This is both! The primary point of branded types is to allow you to use the type system to ensure that a particular runtime check has taken place.
It’s style is based on the oral history approach used by Studs Terkel to document aspects of WW2 - building a big picture by interleaving lots of individual interviews.
Not just valid, but does a not-nonsense task.

I think in this case, there is a coincidence on both sides? Like, the language or the painting could have been different such that the painting would run, but what it would do wouldn't be a recognizable task.
What are the logistics for this? Does ByteDance clone their repo and make America the owner?

Ironically, this sort of internet sovereignty is exactly what China has been preaching for years (though its so-called World Internet Conference), and of course has the most advanced state of the art implementation (aka Great Firewall) to ensure it. It likely didn't envision that this philosophy might one day come back to bite one of their own :)

So long, and thanks for all the time we spend maintaining and fixing our Terraform code rather than just deploying an instance manually once. (It's been great for my job security!)
Stocks go up, stocks go down. Still sitting over 100% YoY.
It’s only a breaking change if you’ve been using a class to stand in for an interface (happens to the best of us I’m sure!). You can still avoid it being one after the fact by introducing a non-breaking interface consistent with what you were already accepting/expecting.

And yeah, I’m not a fan of that class instance assignability case. Not to make excuses for it, but I have other reasons I generally prefer to expose interfaces (distinct from classes, even if they’re identical in shape and even have the same internal purpose) at most API boundaries; avoiding that particular footgun just turns out to be a nice happy side effect of the preference.
The HTML5 DnD is terrible to use, that's why many use cases require reimplementing it. For example, styling the elements is much more finnicky than it needs to be.
> Windows has caused us a lot of issues with Upscayl

I’d turn that around. Sounds like Upscayl has caused a lot of issues for Windows users. Not developing on and doing little testing on Windows sure sounds like the problem to me.
Reciprocity is a thing. I’m sure it won’t be difficult to suggest that certain US businesses operating in China “need to have Chinese owners” too. So I predict this will badly backfire.

But on the whole I’m in favor of any and all laws undermining the mind cancer that is “social media”, irrespective of who controls it, worldwide.
I've seen some discussion of this, I believe that DOS got some ideas from a DEC OS (not VMS) that they were familiar with from using PDP-10s. Or something like that. Also, they had started using forward slashes to signify options to commands. Although I was a card-carrying Linux stan and Windows hater, starting with NT they have done a good job, overall. M$ makes backward compatibility a priority, and thus will not dump bad ideas that have become entrenched. I do think Jobs was right that M$ has "no taste".
I am helping teach Intro to CS to HS students (ironically, through a M$ program) and even the teacher did not know why the C: drive is the letter that it is.

To play devil's advocate. Say that on average it was 10x or 100x safer than human drivers, but for whatever reason, there was a 1/1,000,000 chance that the self driving car would plow into traffic at a red light because some black-box instruction told it it was the thing to do, very likely injuring or killing you. But overall it was better in all other cases. Would you take that risk?

That sort of vision/foresight seems fairly rare, I'd think particularly rare at an IBM type place.

Oh if only - it seems like somehow the shittiest culture manages to out survive the other and entrench itself inside the business. I know HN likes to blame this on the stock market forcing short term revenues but I think it goes deeper - the good "culture" employees actively flee these environments.

Boeing acquiring McDonald Douglas is a classic example of this exact scenario: "McDonald Douglas bought Boeing with Boeings money."
we'll see what the courts say with this. American government used to decry "the great china firewall" yet here they come all holding hands to raise up an American one, against the American people. This is not a Ban on TikTok, it is a blockage and suppression of our freedom of speech, and to freely associate.

The US government suddenly can find common grounds to do something and it's to restrict US? no thanks.
Yes. Is this even a contentious point? Despite the fact EU hasn't bothered to null-route an application that doesn't comply, they will impose onerous fines.

And what do companies do that don't want to comply to GDPR? They ban EU users. You can use the search bar here to find countless people talking about being banned. There's no ambiguity - there's only ambiguity when it comes to TikTok.
> Also regarding visa - well there are more indians in the visa queue than probably multiple countries combined. If they make it as fast as other countries - indians will just move in millions and millions simply due to sheer amount of people they have.

This is already happening in Canada and it is destroying many governmental services like healthcare, education, and of course housing. There definitely need to be reasonable caps in place otherwise services cannot scale up quickly enough to accommodate. I'm sure USA is like Canada in this respect; many services are already woefully underfunded or backlogged without even increasing immigration rates.

I'm also surprised someone who is more well-off would want to leave their country to come to North America. I would think their money would go much further in their own country. But maybe there is more to it than I realize.
No, it's not just a rebrand.

Douyin, like all social media in China, is subject to government censorship. Tiktok, like Google, FB, IG, etc., are not and therefore banned in China.

That's why they are two completely separate platforms.
> Are they actually recording it for later (and are actually going to watch their low-quality recording later)

What's wild is how much the "low-quality recording" on a modern smartphone looks and sounds way better than bootlegs I listened to (or, god forbid, watched) in the 90s.

I don't film entire concerts but I will usually try to get a nice clip from one of my favorite songs. It's fun to revisit. I'd love it if I had short clips from shows I saw when I was 20, especially ones of bands who blew up later or fell off the face of the earth.

Lmao. Which startup has ~$200B to buy out IBM? Folks are loopy in startup land!
It's mostly a first mover thing.

If I purchase a car with low gas mileage, and then the EPA requires cars to have minimum gas milage, that "bans" my car. Even though technically, I could figure out some way to rebuild it to comply.
OK, I'm an expert in both, so I can say the following with some authority:

No, we cannot model what our brains do with kinematic equations. Our brains operate according to the laws of neurobiology, which we do not yet fully understand, but which we know enough about to know that they bear absolutely no resemblance to the laws of kinematics. Your brain is not made of mechanical linkages.

Nonetheless, despite the fact that the laws of neurobiology and the laws of kinematics bear no resemblance to each other, our brains somehow manage to produce solutions to problems that require solving kinematic equations. Not only that, but our brains can do this in two completely different ways, one of which is conscious and deliberate (what we call "doing math") and the other of which is instinctive and subconscious (developing sensory-motor skills).

We get leverage out of doing math despite the fact that our brains can solve some of the same problems innately. Likewise, I believe that LLMs could get a lot of leverage if they were augmented with special-purpose modules for doing math and other specific tasks.

Coding with file system paths means accepting just a few difficult facts.

- a path is not a unique identifier of a file system object. They don’t have canonical names.

- don’t make any assumptions about case sensitivity, what file names are valid, or what the longest possible path is.

- avoid baking paths from strings as as much as possible. Use constructs like PathBuf (Rust) that prevent footguns like duplicated or incorrect dir separators. Never use a literal path separator char ‘/‘ or ‘\’ in code is a good rule of thumb.

> This article is bringing up a whole lot of data but it's not passing the scrutability test.

I disagree. The environmental causes of myopia are very well understood, and have been an area of research for decades and the treatments have been known for nearly as long. Exposure to sunlight at an early age will reduce prevalence of myopia.

They are not saying it's the only cause of myopia. There are people with congenital myopia, such as yourself. But the the bulk of myopia cases are not congenital, they are developed. This is why myopia prevalence increases as a country industrializes, and children spend more time indoors.
Truth Social, meanwhile, gained 10% today, now worth $5 billion on the revenues of a local taco chain and the net losses of a foundering 19th-century industrial empire. So we can stop pretending that stock prices mean things.

I advise the skeptical to check out YouTube videos on Tesla FSD. Even when avoiding the ones with "TESLA" in the usernames or Musk in the thumbnails, the ones by regular people with a handful of views depicting it in action are very impressive, with none of the restrictions on where it can be used that the Mercedes system has. I think Tesla FSD might be what my aged parents will need (and be able to use) in the coming years.

If the US wants to argue reciprocity then it should in a trade bill.

Requiring TikTok to sell is an overreach by the state. It will leads us on a path where companies will be strictly regional.

Not a fan.
This is such a cool name that I'd open an issue and suggest the rebranding :)
It's C: because A: and B: were already taken by your main drives, your floppy disks.
Only need to support the most popular ones.
Sure, but can you take back banning a social media platform? Very likely not, because even if you did, it'd still be ruined by a massive loss of users/ad partners/etc.

Realistically, what we needed is comprehensive user privacy legislation, which would prevent anyone from spying on us, including our own government. Likely the reason that did not happen is because our government enjoys access to our user data for various things.
Forcing the sale of TikTok _is_ reciprocity. Facebook, Google, etc. are already banned in China. This is the CCP's policies backfiring.
I've been thinking all my adult life that, eventually, society has _got_ to get more reasonable about the human body but... there doesn't seem to be any evidence that we're getting anywhere close anytime soon.
I looked into this, and here's what I think will happen [copied from another thread where I posted this]:

- ByteDance will challenge the ruling in court (>95%), but they will lose (80%)

- They then will succeed in selling TikTok US to a US company, despite what ByteDance execs and China are saying (75%)

- The sale will be for $30-50B (CI 50%), it won't include important ByteDance IP that will have to be recreated by a US-based company, likely Snap or X.

- Walmart and Oracle won’t compete to buy it this time. Microsoft or Amazon are the top contenders, also quite likely is a consortium led by someone like Steven Mnuchin.

On the contrary, it seemingly can be used to make a BLAS implementation (example in a PR: https://github.com/sarah-ek/faer-rs/pull/37)
They already do, for the most part, require a JV that is majority owned by Chinese. That has been around for a long time. (This is if you as a foreign business are operating locally and selling to Chinese consumers. If you're just doing your manufacturing in China and exporting abroad, you're in a different category.)

Plus, foreign social media are blocked altogether unless they submit to Chinese government censorship.

So there's not much that can backfire.
Well it starts out OK. Planes want to fly, and they want to land. But it takes a little convincing because of course a plane doesn't really want anything.

Where things go sideways in the article is simultaneously verbose about extraneous details while entirely leaving out relevant details.

I think a non-pilot needs help ASAP. Either on board the plane or via cell phone or radio. Aviate first is good advice but I would promote communication over navigating in this case. A pilot can and should navigate. A non-pilot really can't, at least not cockpit navigation. Their mobile decice will need wifi. Maps app on most any mobile device will give a sufficiently accurate position.

I think the article is an exercise in how something that seems straightforward can be difficult to explain. Landings also have an inordinate number of often fatal pitfalls.

The best advice though is in the article: Don't panic. Don't make abrupt control inputs.
It is really interesting!

I find it very similar to english though. Cows don't actually make a sound anything like "moo", and birds don't "chirp".

I think you're right on when you say it's cultural.

Another important thing that shapes these things in Japanese is just how old the culture is. So much is inherited from ancient times...
So basically you want OpenTofu. It's open source, you can make it do whatever you want, and there's a >0% chance your PRs will get accepted (compared to with HashiCorp)
I pay for it because it's dirt cheap and you get track ratings. If I discover an artist I use RYM to get the best 3 songs of their best 3 albums on YouTube. if I still like the band after that I'll buy the highest rated album.

Here's one. While the person involved was a student, it was his very first lesson and he had about ten minutes of flight time when the pilot passed out.

No, because "original tiktok" has a different name in China and doesn't compete significantly outside of China.

The tiktok that you know about is the international app that already doesnt compete with the rest of bytedance.
In our hypothetical example, the compressed 4k data or the compressed 480p data? You would enhance the compressed 480p—that's what the example is. You would probably not enhance the 4K, because there's very little benefit to increasing resolution beyond 4K.
It also might be worth noting that both pull quotes are things that Ah-Sen said in the questions, instead of things that Powell said in response.

Some interviewers aim to help to tell their subjects’ stories, but others are looking for a reason to hear themselves speak. This feels like the latter case.

New popular music.

The mainstream went from quite decent to crap within the last 20 years or so.

One could always find stuff to listen to their personal echo bubble, but not as much in the wider shared pop culture space.
Simply put, IBM doesn't have the kind of foresight and restraint to do something like that and not fuck it up
I guess Alita: Battle Angel and actresses Cristin Milioti and Ella Purnell are also myopic!

(Joking aside, is there any correlation between large eyes and myopia?)
If I forced you to sell your home and said you couldn't live there anymore, and if you refused to move, we would tear your house down. Would you then say that I am banning you from living in your home? Kinda feels like a ban, even though it's just a forced sell.
BLIS is an interesting new direction in that regard: https://github.com/flame/blis

It's a little known fact that most of Windows works just fine with "/" as a path separator, for instance if you make a system call to open a file or something.

The major system that won't accept this is cmd.exe so if you are passing parameters to a .bat file that has a filename with a "/" in you will have trouble.
