Fairness is not important to businesses - it's important to people (employees of the company). The other people aren't blind. They see devs being able to WFH but they can't. They're not going to like that.

What I am saying is China will effectively take over Taiwan's economy first (by being a good trading partner), and that's pretty much all they need to do. It's easier than invasion, of course we don't know the future, maybe China will do something irrational but why assume that? What would be foolish for Taiwanese to try to block China out economically at the behest of US. (That might actually trigger a military invasion from China, it's actually what Ukraine did before the Russian invasion in 2014.)

In response to anonylizard:
"TSMC is banned from exporting high-end chips to China."

It's amusing that it's US, defender of trade freedom, who gives orders to Taiwan, with who to trade?

"The Taiwanese want to be an US ally, and not end up destroyed like Hong-Kong, hence they'll comply with US sanctions."

Why would they want that, if they have 60% or more of their trade with China, share culture, and are closer to them? I think it's also a misconception that Hong-Kong got destroyed, but I am not sure. Obviously it has not the same economic weight in the West as it used to, but that is true for all former colonies.

Look, I agree that it would be better if China was a liberal democracy (although I also believe that liberal democracy has only limited effect on limiting imperialism, as is obvious from the British and US example). But if the Taiwanese people will be forced to choose between economic depression (due to some more sanctions on trade with China) or losing democracy, I sure hope, for the sake of their future, they will choose the latter. And I am worried US will force them to make this decision, exactly for the reason of "national pride, prestige, and face".

In the sense that most modern programming languages and compilers are open-source, sure, nothing outside the embedded world can truly be built without relying on open source.

There are still native shops that rely on very little open source, though at this point probably only in niches like gamedev or defence.
> We cannot study rules for proper behaviour. Instead, we must train our character through habituation to find the right mean appropriate to the circumstances.

> Are we born with those virtues?

> No.

Well, Aristotle also speaks about "starting points" and claims there's a great weight for "habituation" as much as those "starting points" (your genetics, your talents, your environment growing up). So that's important also to say.

"People like that [with the right upbringing] either already have, or can easily grasp, [the right] principles. If neither of those applies to you... well, Hesiod says it best:

Best of them all is a man

who relies on his own understanding.

Next best, someone who knows

how to take good advice when he hears it.

So, if you're clueless yourself,

and unwilling to listen to others,

taking to heart what they say -

then, sorry, you're pretty much hopeless."

> it misses the entire point of the parent comment

Not really. I would say cheating on your wife with your PR executive is extremely bad for morale and an all around leadership failing. Just because sex is involved doesn't make it tabloid fodder. I can't just punch a coworker and call it "my personal life."

More importantly, you're ignoring the part of the comment that said he was extremely well liked, which was the baseless claim I responded to. You can say that's not the point of the comment, but that's just because acknowledging it weakens the argument.
Right now I suspect that I failed in the same way as my early readings did: this article might be hard to understand unless you're already familiar with the topic

I really enjoyed this article (although I already knew the core concepts, so I may be confirming your suspicion, sorry!)

The visualizations are terrific, especially the ones with the The Lord of the Rings chord progression. Despite knowing the concepts, I hadn't fully appreciated how TET forms a tiling; visualized that way, the "wrap around" the circle of fifths really hits home.

Excellent work, thank you.
Money is just a way of keeping track of to what fraction of future output of other people you are entitled to (as agreed upon by human race).

Why shouldn't this quantity be softly capped at some value to prevent natural runaway towards 100%? What's wrong about capping it on the other side slightly above zero for the purposes of personal survival and preventing organic deterioration?

> Or maybe you're suggesting the rich keep selling but they're forced to give the profits away?

Obviously that.

> and who would they give it away too?

That is really irrelevant. The money they gave away can literally be burnt and it would still improve the situation. Money is not value. Money is just a score indicating how much value are you entitled to obtain in the future.

> The federal government controls more money than any entire private business

Is that true? Despite trillions of debt? There are national governments in the world (and not small ones) that currently owe more to businesses than they own assets.

Completely unrelated but since you asked, I have nothing against capping athletes at the top level of success. Once you win everything you should step aside and let others have their fun. You shouldn't feel compelled to punish your body even harder for years to come and others shouldn't have to wait till your performance deteriorates.
If China takes over Taiwan they gain nothing technology wise. All the manufacturing would be destroyed and many engineers would flee or get killed.
Flex is good enough for most things, but grid has its place. Responsive grids (think of those 3 column card layouts that shrink to a single card per row layout on small screens), page layouts like dedicated sidebar areas, resizable elements that should stick to a certain layout despite the resize, etc.

Nothing stopping you from using both as necessary, combined it's a very strong layout tool

1. Because they say they will.

2. Their military spending backs up what they're saying. It's not just hot air from politicians, they really are committed to building the ability to take Taiwan by force.

The Trojan Horse is a myth. It’s as meaningful an example of military strategy as Gundam robots.

But even if those were real they would still not support Schmidt’s point that “offense always has the advantage because you can always overwhelm the defensive systems”. The Trojan Horse didn’t overwhelm defenses, it penetrated them and destroyed the enemy from inside.

Hey there! I'm launching one of my tools here. It's a Bulk Image Resizer. Give it a try!

It's 100% privacy-friendly, meaning your images don't go to any server to resize images. Everything happens on your device.

All other tools out there keep a copy of your image on their server while processing. You can't be 100% sure that your image will be deleted afterwards.

But if you use this tool, I guarantee that your images never leave y
Since actual governments are at best kinda corrupt and somewhat stupid, it would be better for taxpayers to fund a diversity of editorially independent news media sources, right?

But of course. And there's nothing in public funding of media that says that multiple media sources cannot be funded.

As for the rest of your ... comment: all human institutions tend toward corruption. Government, Church, Business, Family, Academy. We recognise this, are aware of it, fight it, accept what we must, and try to pit the various factions against one another in a a balance of power. Multiple sources, as you say.

The issue with present media isn't the lack of many sources, it's the financial investments required for them to be both effective and sustaining. Which as my earlier comment (and many others on that topic) makes clear simply will not and cannot happen in a pure-play market approach. And for the most part never has.
C, because in this case it's a figure of speech, not an attempt to characterize an act as something that it is not for economic reasons.

Sorry, didn't mean to be unclear - my "even if that's true" was referring to the assertion that Schmidt wasn't well-liked, not your quote.

You're splitting hairs and attacking choices of words that were not made by Aristotle, but the author in trying to summarize Aristotle. You need to put away this sort of sophistry if you want to engage with philosophy.

Like

> > what is unique about humans: We have a soul that thinks and feels

> Have you ever interacted with a dog for more than 30 seconds?

You're engaging with half a sentence. The important part is thinks.

Aristotle and Plato broke down the human soul into three parts. A hungry part that we share with plants, animals and other humans, an emotional part that we share with animals, and a rational "thinking" part that humans alone possess (though later thinkers like Pico della Mirandola suggest we share it with the angels).

Dogs think. Someone not having this basic knowledge of the world is surprising.

And I've read plenty of philosophy and engage with it just fine. I think it's perfectly fine to break apart the basic premises of something because you avoid wasting the time reading the conclusions.

And in fact my criticism is to the author, not to Aristotle or Plato, although I don't agree with all that I've read that they wrote they were much smarter than me. I just have been able to read way more than them.
It solves a problem that was puzzlimg mathematicians for millennia - I wouldn't call that a footnote. You may not consider pure math applications interesting, but that doesn't make them unimportant.

Galois theory is big today because it provides a connection between a ring theory and field theory. This has huge applications for other branches of modern math - for example, number theory. But that always culminates in a pure math application, which makes it a footnote, I guess.
Pretty clear from the article why he did the interview:

> What happened is that the community team were getting a lot of questions about AI and asked if I wanted to help give some answers. I agreed. I’ve seen people speculate that I was forced or coerced into giving the interview and I want to be clear that that wasn’t the case at all. I was asked to, but I could have said no. I went ahead with the interview because based on my awareness, and the internal communication on the progress of the project, I believed we were going to ship another game like Shogun 2.

Aristotle lives in the old versions of the Earth. The outdated concepts may not stand up to modern thinking, but are sufficient for dealing with a simple life. Unfortunately, most people's lives are not simple.
This is the problem with moral equivalence in judging media bias. One side can slide slightly left and still be almost completely factual (if slightly illogical), while the right can be neither factual nor logical - but we are made to pretend that the biases are equal here.

As a general principle, and I know it's not a very wise thing to say, left-leaning sources are on a different dimension of factuality than right-leaning ones.

We are witnessing the beginning of a significant shift in how we perceive the world—a "remagicalization" driven by technological advancements. Technology has progressed to a point where it often feels indistinguishable from magic to many.

In the past, building a radio, the primary tool for real-time information, was within reach of anyone with basic components like wire, a speaker, a capacitor, and a coil. Today, however, technology has become so advanced that it is incomprehensible to most, controlled by experts who can seem like modern-day wizards.

I fully agree with the conclusion of the article.

These days [...] we write our contracts not in blood but in silicon—both figuratively, insofar as we sign away our identities and privacies for all the short-term benefits of material ease, and literally, whenever we scroll rapidly through one of those unreadable online contracts, eager only to assent.*

I'm a computational scientist so I already spend most of my time writing codes to automate my science. If C3P0 wants to help out then I'm happy to have him.

The reproduction crisis is predominately in social sciences. This is for several reasons but the main one is that social science is much newer than the physical sciences. There's a great book about rasch modelling which equates social science to physics before thermodynamics. That at the very best, you can measure the temperature but there was a time when we had a poor understanding of what it meant when the temperature changes. That's clearly where social science is right now and the reproduction crisis is a good thing. It's challenging the status quo to come up with better theory to motivate observation and experiment.

To answer your final question, yes, the parts of my job that I find annoying, unrewarding, and time wasting that I would happily trade to another are itemized but not complete below:

* Planning my own travel, purchasing all my own tickets and lodging and having no help to do any of that

* Sitting in meetings with colleagues who are explaining to me why it's ok that the interns aren't getting paid because they are going to give them visa gift cards instead

* Editorialmanager.com website

* Having no itemized or explicit way to examine the expenditure in my grants so that when I ask admin staff how much money there is for X they reply with "you have enough money" instead of the actual amount

* Researchgate website

* Colleagues who are rude and condescending instead of going to therapy to wonder why they are insecure

* Expense reimbursement instead of having a purchase card attached to my grants

* Convincing older colleagues to use "new" technology like slack or GitHub

If C3P0 can solve any one of those problems for me I'll get one in a heartbeat.

Slightly related to topic but I like how the comments are on a column to the right of the post.

The tendency of many news outlets to shut down their comment sections has taken out the discourse.
Don't really want to defend Putin, but consider that Russia would at the very least lose the naval base in Crimea, if the Ukraine entered NATO. Also, in 2013, the EU put an ultimatum to Ukraine to choose between the free trade with EU or free trade with Russia.

Perhaps Putin's action isn't as irrational as it seems?
Global Catastrophizing (2021)
Sure, that's fair - I don't mean to imply that it is always true, and 'overwhelm the defensive systems' isn't the language I'd use. All I mean is that specifically targeted strikes, at the right targets, at the right time, can sometimes be far more important than who has the bigger army. Sometimes if you cut off the head, the rest of the snake really does kind of just die.

Just as much as they did under communism.
Compilers are one of the easiest and most fun pieces of software to test, because you can test very specific behavior without touching the internals at all.

E.g. if I want to test that `*` has higher precedence than `+`, I would write something like this:

assert_ast_equals(parse_expr("(a*b)+c"), parse_expr("a*b+c"))
assert_ast_equals(parse_expr("a+(b*c)"), parse_expr("a+b*c"))

You can rewrite the whole compiler if you want, but as long as you have some notion of a "parser", an "AST" and "two AST nodes being the same" this test will keep working.

This is much more powerful than going into the parser internals and comparing get_operator_precedence('+') with get_operator_precedence('*') which is the default thing you would do if you're told to test every function after writing it.
Microsoft WPF was great as well. I thought they killed it, but seems like the project is still active.
I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, there are several options to almost achieve portability in Ruby. But making it portable and cross-platform like how Go has a single binary file has not been possible for me.

You already mentioned Traveling Ruby, but there are also:

OCRA (One-Click Ruby Application)

RubyEncoder (commercial)

DragonRuby? (It’s a game engine though)

Ruby2exe (rb2exe) but I believe it’s dead

enclose-io/ruby

Ruby-packer

portable-ruby project by homebrew

RubyMotion (costs probably)

Other ideas have been:

Using TruffleRuby (GraalVM) and compile using nativeimage

If you don’t use any gems, then maybe compile your script with opal.rb to js then bundle that js into single executable

Use your script with MRuby and enjoy the benefits of C

Run your script with JRuby and bundle the war file with warbler

Compile the Ruby script with Crystal (maybe slight modifications has to be done with your code) and use the cross compile with static flag

(Btw, running bundle install with the “—standalone” might ease with the bundling and distribution)

This is a leadership and management problem, it doesn't actually have to be this way and is also why it can be hard to push back on requests that don't make sense because it's hard to tangibly demonstrate the issues when the game just doesn't function. And worse because games are a creative project watching something you've worked on for ages suddenly come together is a really compelling feeling and can be successful so the issue perpetuates until the grenade goes off in your hand.

I also think you're reading too much into the phrasing ten years on. In particular when he's speaking on behalf of his lead at the time rather than anything he directly said.
I’m firm on my claim that they were imperial wars, but we can lay that to the side.

This is precisely my problem. If the US/West wants to maintain a moral high ground by claiming that their “freedom” and values are simply the best and everyone needs them, then why is there an incessant need to subjugate? There is no moral high ground with continuously destabilizing countries and making half the world’s life a living hell.

I’m happy to talk about the actual realities of geopolitics. Of course the US wants to maintain control, but that desire is a not a “moral” one.

It doesn't matter; the attack described in the article already requires physical access.
