> The book goes over what actually happened: it's not theory, it's history. What worked in each country (often the same/similar things), the variations, and where things were tried but went badly (often with analysis on why).

Alas, in the absence of randomised controlled experiments, it's very hard to infer causality purely from observations. You need a theory to guide you. But observations are still extremely useful, of course.

Just because countries did X and Y happened later, doesn't necessarily tell you X causes Y. In addition to the usual causation vs correlation dilemma, in economics you can even have what looks like reverse causation that goes back in time, because intelligent actors anticipate the future.

(Silly example, if there's a clear sky, and you see many people carrying raincoats and umbrellas, it's likely to rain later. But that doesn't mean that umbrellas cause rain.)

Many of the successful countries in 'How Asia Works' share some ethnic similarities. (Eg many have at least sizeable Chinese minorities or have outright Chinese majorities.) Many of the success stories also have some land reform in their past. The author decided that the latter 'worked' (ie was a causal factor), and ignores the former as perhaps a mere coincidence. Similarly, the author decided that the bouts of industrial policy and protectionism are praiseworthy causal factors.

He almost arbitrarily excludes Singapore as purely a financial centre, even though we have a pretty diversified economy these days, and in the past during the fast catch up growth, we weren't a global financial hub yet. That early development owes much more to the typical 'sweatshop' model that we see in many successful industrialisers, ie (light) manufacturing for export.

Maybe tabular data is a credible intermediate step. Many shell tools already export data in a tabular format.
I would encourage you, if you claimed so in this thread that you are a US and UK citizen, to quickly move out of US and renounce your US citizenship. So the torture and rage that you're displaying here and the paradox of your identity doesn't drive you insane. Also you should renounce your UK citizenship, as UK and US are very close allies. Maybe try moving to Russia? I heard they're having another military mobilization, and is paying pretty well.
I will describe what we do at IPinfo to avoid such a messup. First of all because we do active measurements and our data is usually less prone to errors like this and when it comes to IP location it is as good as it gets.

We have a support team active 247. Then is the issue of update rollout, when things goes wrong (rarely if ever) we can push data updates immediately. We work with our customers and users and try to push immediate fixes.

But the most important thing in my opinion we do is this comment itself. If things go wrong we will address it before you come to our support team.
More the resource difference.
All of that is about complying with gdpr, assuming you're sharing customer data. If you don't, there's nothing to do. It's like "international shipping of live animals is a massive undertaking and takes lots of time" - cool, it's true - I'm not doing that so I'm done.

Sure, you have to comply with data requests, but if you don't store/share it... that's also trivial.
bash has its own issues but my main gripe is handling of arrays and dictionaries - the syntax is so awkward and hard to remember that I inevitably have to have a reference open in another window. I wish they added some syntactic sugar to make that more ergonomic while retaining backwards compatibility.
For a monolith of any nontrivial size, you're talking anywhere from weeks to months of years of engineer work, and those are engineers who also won't be delivering new value during that time. And if other teams are still delivering new features into the monolith during that time, now that's more work for the team whose job it is to break apart the monolith.

So anywhere from tens of thousands to millions of dollars is the cost.

Whether you call that exorbitant is up to you and your department's budget, I guess.
That already exists, though? Log anomalies is a thing.

For all the grief people give Datadog, it is an incredibly good product. Unfortunately, they know it, and charge accordingly.
I really dislike them having lower L just be a straight bar - And I'm saying that as someone that hates serif fonts with a passion.

It doesn't really help you while reading that capital letter i looks different. You have to (1) know which font you're currently reading and (2) know that a straight bar isn't a capital i.

This is kind aggregated by the fact that I'd naturally assume if only one letter looked like that it would be capital letter i. An assumption that is backed by this very website: I, l
What I was hoping to be able to do was run our existing cpython project on graal to try and benefit from whatever speedups the jvm (or, if possible, compiling to a native module) would provide, rather than build with the jvm specifically in mind from the get go.
You also network with old money, the politically connected, and the global elite. The “top” universities don’t really need to be better, they just need to have the correct names and the prestige to attract those names. You may have the best professor teaching all the most useful knowledge in the middle of no where state university, but the folks attending won’t have as much opportunity despite their education because they won’t get connected to money or to power.
Comic Code does look significantly better than Comic Mono (which wasn't created by a professional) in my opinion. Just compare i and l (lower case L), for example.

In addition to "space is function application" another important shell affordance seems to be "words are just words" -- you don't have to quote simple strings like `README.md`. If you want a single string with more than one word (where there is a space in between), that is in conflict with "space is function application", so then you have to put it in quotes.

> The fact that we can't pin down a strong effect on human health outcomes after decades of exposure should be a relief

What kind of strong effect are you looking for, immediate death?

That fact isn't reassuring to me at all. There's a wide variety of increasingly common health conditions that have an unknown etiology -- ADHD, autism, CFS, IBS, mental illness, obesity, etc.

The fact there isn't an immediately obvious health outcome is worrying because it just as likely has a wide reaching effect on a great many bodily systems, making it difficult or impossible to isolate exact consequences from varying exposure.

Lower rate also encourages more borrowing. So it's not clear how the rate will affect the debt. I'd say it's not the deciding factor.

I think you're either trolling, really out of touch with reality, but here is an excerpt from the above:

2. We hate you because your secular, liberal societies permit the very things that Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things He has permitted, a matter that doesn’t concern you because you separate between religion and state, thereby granting supreme authority to your whims and desires via the legislators you vote into power. In doing so, you desire to rob Allah of His right to be obeyed and you wish to usurp that right for yourselves. “Legislation is not but for Allah” (Yusuf 40). Your secular liberalism has led you to tolerate and even support “gay rights,” to allow alcohol, drugs, fornication, gambling, and usury to become widespread, and to encourage the people to mock those who denounce these filthy sins and vices. As such, we wage war against you to stop you from spreading your disbelief and debauchery – your secularism and nationalism, your perverted liberal values, your Christianity and atheism – and all the depravity and corruption they entail. You’ve made it your mission to “liberate” Muslim societies; we’ve made it our mission to fight off your influence and protect mankind from your misguided concepts and your deviant way of life.

Is that enough for you? The part about "waging war against non believers caught my eye", how about you?

I wish that this was seen as a good thing, not a bad thing. Everyone who wants an iPhone already has one, Apple makes good products that last, and new phones these days are incremental updates rather than revolutionary new products, so there’s not a large incentive to upgrade.
The Kelvin(uppercase) scale is named after Lord Kelvin(uppercase), the unit is the kelvin(lowercase), and the symbol is K(uppercase).

This agrees with all SI units named after a person. The unit's name is lowercase (unless at the beginning of a sentence), and the symbol has its first letter in uppercase. Examples: newton (N), tesla (T), hertz (Hz), pascal (Pa), joule (J), watt (W), volt (V), ampere (A).

Note that "degrees Celsius" is capitalized in a special way.

It seems odd to me that random laborers would be issued military encrypted pagers, and it seems certain that you couldn't simply go buy one on your own (or at least, buy one and then use it on the Hezbollah military network), but we have reached a point of specificity on the thread where I'm comfortable that we're all talking about the same thing --- previously, I've gotten the sense that we were suggesting random workers who happened to need pagers might have these ones. My personal prediction is that everyone who had these things was a member of Hezbollah, based on the reading I'm doing, but that's all it is: a personal prediction.

From my experience it’s about cost and efficiency. By cost I mean my cost to them for my time coding. Customers don’t factor in the hidden costs of open source.

I preferred developing minimal-dependency software but my customers demand fast good-enough results. The only way to deliver that is to glue together open source dependencies.

If YouTube actually rots your brain then it would be stupid to watch it yourself. So the kid would be making a solid point.

However the actual issue for me is that YouTube tries to keep you endlessly captivated with content regardless of quality or value. So it can ends up being a time sink, which at the end you feel like nothing of value was consumed.

So I tell my kids that, not that it rots their brain. And when there’s content we can both enjoy, we can watch it together. Or if they want to watch something specific on YouTube, they can watch that thing and then be done.

Note that it's for patents and not copyright (i.e. character likenesses), as many predicted.

It'll be interesting to see which patents Nintendo is trying to assert. Given that Palworld is purely a game, it seems likely to be Nintendo's patents related to game mechanics (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37062820), which I think most people here are justifiably against.
In terms of daily usage it came first from LGBTQ+ communities. It then gained more mainstream attention when colleges and universities, having to work with the emerging generation where acceptance of different sexualities or identities was more common, began to accommodate this. That was helped along of course by the fact that people who systematically study the constantly changing landscape of language use skew towards researchers in linguistics through colleges and universities. So there were two "vectors" of transfer to that community: from both students and linguists.

There are definitely sanctions against Russia, yet Apple/Play stores work just fine.
On the contrary, the problem with elementary mathematics education is that teachers don't tell students that they're supposed to not feel stupid at the point that they understand something. Students think it's fine that they mechanically do long division without understanding how it works. Then the next year, they have to be taught how to mechanically do long division again, and they still don't know why it works. Eventually, their foundation is so shaky that they don't understand why anything they're doing works.

I'm pretty sure we let Russia develop after their collapse in 1990, right up until they invaded Ukraine again in 2022. And we let China develop after they liberalized in 1979, right up until they turned dictatorship in 2017, snuffed out Hong Kong in 2019, and became close war ally with Russia in 2023. Those are pretty long time I would say.

Goldfish and energy drinks are not a healthy diet.

Energy drinks in general are not healthy. They will dehydrate you but load you up with caffeine and sugar, not to mention preservatives, and you’ll crash.

> Which is caused by matter achieving a particular density.

More precisely, by an isolated blob of collapsing matter surrounded by vacuum achieving a particular density.

> to say they're not "made of matter" seems overly reductive here.

No, it isn't, it is making a very important point: that the matter that originally formed the hole is not there any more. The hole itself is vacuum. If you fall into it, you won't see any matter, even though the hole was originally formed by collapsing matter.

> The observable mechanics of a black hole are (probably) controlled by it's surface area and not it's volume.

Only in the sense that the horizon area is proportional to the square of the mass, whereas the volume is not even well-defined. The actual thing that is controlling the "observable mechanics" is the mass (and spin, and charge if present, but in any actual hole it probably won't be).

> are people not taught this in school?

I agree about standardization, but I think this framing comes off as lacking empathy. Plenty of folks either

- Avoided the topic in school or put all their effort into other subjects

- Didn’t learn this in school—there are a wide variety of education systems across all the decades and distances that folks on this site may have grown up in

- Learned this in school, but a lifetime ago, and haven’t had a reason to revisit it. At a certain distance, your life experience and work experience massively overshadow what you learned in school.

Forgive the inference, but based on your recall of specific grading policies I would guess that your time in school is still near to you, or at least very important. It’s not that way for everyone.

While technically true I think the geneva conventions also address the fact that like, when you target something like a hospital (something that has happened) there’s a high probability of civilian deaths that don’t really fall under “collateral” definitions in the way you’re using it. Surely anyone sane would agree with this, wouldn’t you? The convention addresses this in pretty clear terms. Would you think exploding multiple thousands of devices simultaneously in a densely populated area might hit civilians too? Of course you would. This directly violates geneva convention by any interpretation of what it says, but the amount of propaganda from nearly every major country in this situation makes sane discussions of this impossible, so I’ll probably digress. These threads are cancerous and almost certainly flooded by IDF smurfs, or people unknowlingly spewing smurf propaganda.
