A nondescript consumer appliance or clothing "sales office" is infinitely better than bytedance, a company that has received significant flak in the media. The Biden administration's policy of "small yard, high fence" means that unless you're trying to import chips, AI tech, drones, or battery tech, you're probably fine. Nobody is going to blink an eye at some Chinese company trying to sell rice cookers.
Nah, 8000 hours means something is wrong. If you played a game that long, you just can't give a negative review. It also means you are hooked and you need to touch grass, or you need someone to delete your account and get on with your life.

1 year of your life playing a game is just plain wrong, sorry to say that, but that's the reality.

TL;DR. this imho is the interesting heart of the article:

they proposed that when Asian cockroaches were transported along the trade routes from south and southwest Asia into Europe, this species could not establish persistent populations. Without local success, they were hardly noted by anybody. Only a few survivors that found ways to live within structures could make it through the cold European winters, and over time these survivors evolved into the German cockroach. The species was therefore truly European.

went to work testing the hypothesis by sequencing genetic data from German cockroaches in many parts of the world, as well as Asian cockroaches and other relatives. Last month they published the results of this work. The new data showed something a little different from the urban Europe hypothesis.

B. germanica didn't originate in Germany or elsewhere in Europe as a new species and later spread throughout other parts of the world. Island southeast Asia, Ethiopia, and China all had diversity of B. germanica that was as old as in Europe. Every one of these populations came from common ancestors that shared a history of drift and adaptation around 2100 years long. Before this, those ancestors diverged from the Asian cockroach, B. asahinai.

The German cockroach deserves to be widely known as an example of rapid evolution of a new species. Not only does it inhabit environments where few insects survive, its environments didn't even exist before a few thousand years ago.
Thank you! Now, I have updated readme files with English.
CNN did an hour-long town hall on the East Palestine disaster two weeks later, which doesn't really fit your narrative. They did a few stories on it at the time and reported it on-air, but didn't focus on the story immediately.
Why about Sky News?
Thankfully, Trump has indicated that these sorts of anti-US measures, that Biden was too weak to deal with, will be met with equivalent investigations and sanctions on comparable EU companies. If I was a European company, like LVMH, that depends heavily on exports to the US, I might be getting a little nervous reading about a new EU investigation into another US company.
and they shouldn't have to, really
The power differential between the US and the rest of North and South America pretty much guarantees that nothing like WWI could happen.

Europe had hundreds of years of plundering the rest of the world. WWI happened because Germany wanted a piece of the pie too, and the other, more established powers didn't want to share. None of that had anything to do with American Exceptionalism.

And, yeah, America's not perfect. We got thrust into the role of being a global superpower after the second time Europe tried to blow itself up. The other option was the USSR (who did their own share of empire building).
The BLS data seem to disagree with ChatGPT;
It states that average wage growth for both Obama and Trump (pre pandemic) were similar at around 3% and inflation for Obama was around 1-2% and Trump (pre pandemic) 2-3%
Uncertainty about how erratic US domestic and foreign policy is going to become as a result of the election is probably going to drop spending on US products globally, including software and high tech. If HNers were unhappy about tech layoffs now, well, IMO the public just voted for someone likely to cause even more of them.
This sounds reasonable but I feel just like OP, its still missing the forest from the trees

Its not about who has the data, although that is important.
Its not about subversion of a population by a foreign state, although that is important too.

The crux of the issue is reciprocity.

China does not let any CAN or US companies into China markets, without first demanding local factories, forcing local production, requiring equity control and even IP. And if you dont share it, bohoo they will steal it anyway. And, there's no recourse.

The chinese govt has abused free trade for so long. Its time to demand fairness.

They dont give us access into their markets? OK! We close our markets to their corporations.

Its as simple as that. The golden rule.
Unicode is supposed to be able to represent basically everything humans ever wrote, that's why we have things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos_Disc_(Unicode_block) in there, and why it's inevitably so complex. These aren't even particularly weird codepoints when you look at some other scripts like Arabic or traditional Mongolian.

Correctly supporting the entirety of Unicode faithfully in this sense has been unreachable for your average app for a very long time now, IMO, so it's fine to just do the best you can (i.e. usually, the most you can defer to the libraries) for the audience that you actually have or anticipate for convoluted stuff like this. I don't think that correctly handling casing for legacy digraph codepoints is something that many people need in practice, not even speakers of languages whence those Unicode digraphs originate.

It's still a massive improvement for interop because at least you can be sure that any two apps that need the symbol will use the same encoding for it and will be able to exchange that data, even if nobody truly supports the whole thing.

How long are VPN services for consumers like that going to be viable? All the 5 eyes countries are trending in the same direction and they US isn't shy to press other countries to follow their regulations with the threat of being sanctioned.
In guess it comes down to: on what terms?

It wasn’t long ago that we regularly witnessed rhetoric hinting at putting people into camps and denying them access to food because they didn’t buy into the official narrative about vaccines.

Is that a better option? I don’t think so.

I do agree that there is a basis for building bridges and finding common ground but this is better done at the local level between people vs. trying to force it from on high. And definitely, in my opinion, not via some controlled medium.
You know, I am way past the submit date on this, but I just discovered KDE Connect today. I'm using it to share stuff between iOS and my non-KDE desktop, and I had to plug it. It's wonderful!

Very vague content free statement.

> - The US will hold Bitcoin - other countries will follow, we will be one step closer to having a new global reserve currency that cannot be abused as an economic weapon by the big bully in the room. The potential for global peace is finally in reach.

That is a hilariously stupid take. Bitcoin is useless as a currency, it can't handle the transaction volume, it costs too much per transaction, and the environmental damage from the amount of power it uses is immense. This is just braindead cryptobro pie-in-the-sky dreaming.

> - Childhood vaccines will be banned or at least made optional

Also a braindead take. Childhood vaccines prevent kids from being made seriously ill, disabled and even dying from a host of nasty infectious diseases. Antivaxxers really are clueless.
> Drivers license or a hunting license are acceptable but student ID is not acceptable to vote does not make sense.

Drivers licenses are issued by a single state-wide government agency in each state and there are national standards for their security.

Student IDs are issued by thousands of educational institutions, both public and private, and they don't have the same security standards.

It is much easier for election officials to distinguish genuine from fake drivers licenses than genuine from fake student IDs, so it actually makes a lot of sense to accept the former as voting ID but not the latter.

I know less about hunting licenses, but if they are issued by a statewide agency, they would be closer to drivers licenses than student IDs, so accepting them but not student IDs makes sense too.

They are in the position of not wanting pro-Hitler sentiments on their site. They also don’t want conservatives, who are now in power, to punish them. It seems like a reasonable decision to just ban the word altogether. It’s expedient; not ideal.

thats a great way to build a tool which solves your need.

In Aide as well, we realised that the major missing loop was the self-correction one, it needs to iteratively expand and do more

Our proactive agent is our first stab at that, and we also realised that the flow from chat -> edit needs to be very free form and the edits are a bit more high level.

I do think you will find value in Aide, do let me know if you got a chance to try it out
Memories I have made in Morrowind, Fallout, Skyrim, WoW, Elden Ring are some of the best memories of my life. They are as real as my real life. I make no distinction between real and imaginary. I’ve done things and experienced things people in the real world could never imagine. I don’t regret a single second spent playing those games. And I value the time I have in my life greatly.

Some of the remakes are just career springboards for wannabe developers. Look how talented we are, we can do this, you must employ us! Others are just plain ignorant, thinking they can cut corners.

The thing that comes to mind is the awful System Shock remake that some middle finger showing snotty kid created. Ruining the atmosphere, by changing the music, the setting, the intro and outro and even the looks. I can understand when Ferrari sues bloody idiots because they mod their cars in an unacceptable way.
This exactly. NVN is lower level than dx12/Vulkan and is probably more comparable to Sony's graphics APIs in terms of how low level it is.* And even if the NVN version itself remained the same, consoles use precompiled shaders as you say, so unless you keep that API stable between generations as well you are going to need to do some form of translation between the new and old APIs.

* I've never used NVN but I imagine it must be very low level otherwise developers would not be using it instead of Vulkan which is also supported by the Switch. Feel free to correct me here or clarify if I'm right on this.
Friendly reminder: any penny spent on Nintendo product could be used to go after those community developer :)

Just curious what your suspicions were at the English conversation lounge and why it made you uncomfortable?
Perhaps because it actively drives away anyone who is not going to build a strong friendship with it.
This was only true for Epyc, and only true for a small number of low CCD SKUs.

Consumer platforms do NOT do this; this has actually been discussed in depth in the Threadripper Pro space. The low CCD parts were hamstrung by the shortage of IF links, meaning that they got a far smaller bump from more than 4 channels of populated RAM than they could have.

Some distributed databases and file systems are notoriously finicky to operate; Ceph comes to mind in particular. Choice of technology and architecture matters here a lot. Content addressed storage using something like Minio with erasure codes should scale pretty easily and could be maintained by a small ops team. I personally know a couple of people that were effectively solo operations for 100PB Elasticsearch clusters, but I'd say they're more than a bit above average skill level and they actively despised Elasticsearch (and Java) coming out of it.

Until Japanese have an economic reason to learn English, they will continue to participate in the educational equivalent of get-rich-quick schemes instead of actually getting good. It's a great example of the "Galapagos syndrome".

There is English education at school, but it is based entirely on rote repetition and exercises instead of y'know, understanding the language. There are "English Conversation Schools", but they are mostly scams whose goal is your continued participation, rather than having an end goal of comprehending English.

The government currently tendering for providers of different systems. See here [1] and here [2]:

Tender documents released on Monday show the technical trial is slated to begin “on or around 28 October”, with the provider also expected to assess the “effectiveness, maturity, and readiness” of technologies in Australia.

Biometric age estimation, email verification processes, account confirmation processes, device or operating-level interventions are among the technologies that will be assessed for social media (13-16 years age band).

In the context of age-restricted online content (18 years or over), the Communication department has asked that double-blind tokenised attribution exchange models, as per the age verification roadmap, and hard identifiers such as credit cards be considered.

I've often knocked Russia for continually choosing thugs to run their country (I know its more nuanced than that, but still).

That’s an optimistic take, for instance there’s a lot of physical sexual harassment and even rape reported as occurring between members of the military, and infantry at least seems to code as blue collar.
Lovely article.

I recently moved back to the US from Japan after living there for a year. My poor Japanese made life very difficult. Easy things like calling a restaurant for a reservation or visiting the ward office was always a major challenge. I second your point that Japanese is always useful regardless of official policies. What do you think Japan should do to encourage Japanese language learning among immigrants?
But the news networks are on the way out, and tiktoks are in. Do you remember the joyous declarations from 1990s that meatspace state borders do not apply to cyberspace? That was not entirely wishful thinking. The same properties that allow information from "free world" to make way into the "world of oppression" work for different definitions of "free" (democratic, communist, fundamentalist, etc) and "oppressed" (communist brainwashed, capitalist exploitative, sinful and godless, etc). A very similar situation enmeshes cryptography.
>So with that metric: what scene are you in that brings in $600 in tips or 6-12 gigs a month?

Why only in tips? $100 weekly gigs are not terribly difficult to get these days especially since no one wants to do them anymore, that is $400 a month right there without tips or merchandise sales. 6-12 gigs a month is also not difficult to manage, two gigs a week is very doable and most every musician I know who did the weekly gig also did a show on the weekend somewhere else (weekly gigs are almost always mid week). Why does it have to be a single scene? almost as arbitrary as it being tips only. Beyond that if you play regularly you will get more gigs without trying including private parties and the like, you will get asked to sit in with other bands, be on their recordings, session work, etc, it all adds up. But I was referring to hourly rate, not monthly earnings. Entry level has nothing to do with pay, it's the level you enter at for the field and for some jobs this is an unpaid internship or or poorly paid apprenticeship, doesn't matter what you think it should be.

Drawing a crowd is not difficult but you need to learn to read the audience so you can play to the audience first, one of those things the poor paying weekly gig is great for, you can't expect to draw an audience solely for being you.

I bounce back and forth between javascript and C# depending on the nature of the job at hand. I'm curious what things you'd like to do with C# that you can't?

I find that with some handwringing, C# can be forced to do almost anything. between extension methods, dispatch proxies and reflection you can pummel it into basically any shape.

Having to write a little boilerplate to make it happen can be a drag though. I do sometimes wish C# had something from a blank project that let me operate with as much reckless abandon as Object.assign does in js land.

> I mean, come on.

Well when you put it like that.

But really, it's interesting how this time around my entire Puerto Rican side of the family voted for Trump. All lifelong democrats too. These folks are the core of the country: Teamsters members, paraprofessionals, and mid-tier civil servants. They laughed at the joke about the pile of trash. They left Puerto Rico in the 60s for a reason.

As much as you don't like to admit it, your idea of "divisive" and "racist" and "violent" is based on a subjective standard. It just is. A lot of people disagree or don't find it offensive enough to care. I can't stress this part enough; these are the actual majority of America as indicated yesterday.

This is all to try and point out that this is a great time for the Democrats of America to take a hard look in the mirror and realize that, if this guy is so bad, then how the hell did he win so convincingly? I'll give you a hint but it involves the fact that a lot of these demonized Trump voters are, indeed, very fine people that would give you the shirt of their backs if you needed it.
The opposing take is that the chinese government has a special interest in pushing the palestine narrative, which otherwise wouldn't be popular/of interest in the US. I personally don't give a shit about it, and I bet the same is true of most people. Naturally it wouldn't get very far on a normal social media without special effort directed towards promoting it.

That's underselling the product, a swarm of nanobots that are (literally, currently) beyond human understanding that are also the only way to construct certain materials and systems.

Inheritor of the Gray Goo apocalypse that covered the planet, this kind constructs an enormous mobile mega-fortress with a literal hive-mind, scouring the environment for raw materials and fending off hacking attempts by other nanobots. They even simulate other hive-minds to gain an advantage.
