> But if it's an ERP, I wouldn't say an electronic sheet like Excel would be an alternative. Or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything, but that's our current exit strategy none the less. We need to be capable of exiting Microsoft within a month if required. It even says Excel in our strategy even though it would obviously need to be a different spreadsheet program. Well, maybe we would be allowed to use non-cloud Excel, I'm not too sure about that actually. I'm only involved in these things from SWE side of things where I have to give them a strategy for our part, which is very easy because everything is containerized and almost non-platform dependent, so it would be relatively easy to migrate away from Azure. The biggest challenge for our part of the business would be our reliance on AD (well Entra ID) authentication flows. Not a big challenge as far as the actual auth flows, because we could easily accept tokens from something like Keycloak but it would be a challenge to migrate the AD for the SysOps guys.
> When the Gazans set out to attack

This is a dishonest take. The innocent civilians now being bombed didn't do this. That you try to commingle them into Hamas' actions tells a lot about you.
As someone who lives in a country neighboring Ukraine, hosted Ukrainian refugees and heard the stories about what is happening in occupied territories directly from escaped friends and relatives, (some of the older ones still remembering stories about nazi occupants), let me tell you one thing: you are massively underestimating Putin. And that is a fact.
>What's with the west's pathalogical obsession with Japan and Japanese?

The first thing to point out is that this goes both ways which goes a long way to explain why Japan is more accessible. As someone who is German, the amount of anime that features vaguely German settings and names (sometimes extremely grammatically broken) for no good reason has always been funny to me. Influential popular media figures like Kojima are obsessed with Western pop culture in their own right, etc.

Even the more literary or nationalistic Japanese cultural figures are often steeped in European culture, see Yukio Mishima. You can recognize Kafka in Kobo Abe's books, so as a Western reader it's both different and familiar. Chinese culture is harder to get into and in particular traditional Chinese culture is more impenetrable yet.
Great analysis of unwinding overhead in Rust. The framing of exceptions as "alternate returns" is enlightening - they should be cheap in theory, which makes the current ~2.3μs overhead particularly interesting to dissect. The optimization journey from removing unnecessary type erasure to using thread-locals is well explained. While the 4.3x speedup is impressive, I think the bigger takeaway isn't about replacing Result with panics, but rather identifying where non-local control flow genuinely makes sense. Looking forward to the deep dive into unwinder implementations.
> Would I have worn one if it was not compulsory and drilled into me as a child that's what you do when you ride one?

Yes. Because this is a false dichotomy. The latter does not depend upon the former. I can say that with certainty because I received the message growing up in a country with a cycling proficiency programme in schools instead of mandatory helmet laws.

Everyone should wear a helmet when riding, but criminalising noncompliance is an inefficient, reductive, expensive, heavy-handed, unnecessarily punitive, and ultimately counter-productive approach to achieving it.

On the one hand, it's sort of believable that he would not engage with literature of any kind. On the other, he kept saying it after being informed that the phrase came from Hitler.
Very interesting observations. My sister lives outside Tokyo and is an assistant English teacher under the JET Programme which is a government initiative to bring language teachers to schools. Her Japanese is very good - as part of being selected she was interviewed in Japanese by the local embassy so it had to be - and she reports a strong willingness in her students to learn at least some English for pragmatic reasons.
That's obviously a biased statement. I happen to share your bias toward the election outcome, but I'm afraid analysis shows that GenZ has moved towards Republican in comparison with similar aged voters 4 and 8 years ago, while people over 60 have moved towards Dems. So your assumptions are not correct, apart from the fact that they're not even relevant to the discussion about the influence of social media (and mobile phones) on young people.
I would remind everyone that the ban of porn below 18 is not enforced, but it is enough to ensure it is not consumed openly or at school. That is how this will play out too.
Good, but not enough if you ask me. Mainstream social media make money out of angering people and the addiction it creates, and it affects everyone, not just kids: had a few grown ups among friends and other people, even over 60 and older, completely ruined by that crap. I don't see any reason why corporations that don't obey any moral obligation should be motivated to change their business model anytime soon, unless forced from above.
Tried Pulumi thinking "it's gonna abstract all the k8s specifics". Welp no, still need to know and understand K8s so I still don't see the value from those kind of tools. In which case why not use something like Pkl to generate my yaml from some sensible code-like structures?

So is the Canadian government, especially under Trudeau, which indirectly controls the media organizations through funding.

I don't care about TikTok, since there is nothing of value there. But will Canada also ban globaltimes.cn now?

(The value of the Global Times is to find out what the party in China thinks, not that it is unbiased.)

> Will this mean I will have to register as my real name on Hacker News?

First of all, age verification shouldn't mean the social media provider gets true identities. They shouldn't be trusted with that info. There needs to be services that allows verifying your age against one service, and the media service just getting the receipt of that verification. Whether such a service exists already or not shouldn't matter. The law should be written so that social media companies are restricted in what they can do when they can be sure someone isn't a minor, and when they are sure. For extra safety, perhaps it should say they can't be allowed to see for example physical ID:s. Because otherwise you'd risk privacy issues.

Second, I think it's better to formulate these laws the way the new york draft did: that specific features are restricted for minors. Such as: enless media feeds based on past behavior (such as any video "shorts" feeds in all the major platforms today).

>Well even in Japan it's all urban sprawl. Tokyo is the largest metropolis in the world

This isn't true (the urban sprawl part): while Tokyo is the largest metro area and does have a lot of sprawl, it's also continuously growing upwards, and not that much outwards because there really isn't much room left on the periphery (ocean and mountains are hard limits). Older, smaller buildings are regularly being knocked down and replaced by new, taller buildings.

> The person best equipped to criticise a game or work is probably often someone who's experienced it for the longest.

It's funny, you'd probably not default to looking at the fattest glutton, world record cake eater in the world for their opinion on their favorite cake. You recognize that the fact that they ate a lot of that cake is a problem they have, not something that particularly elevates their opinion on what makes it good or bad. A healthy person's negative experience with a cake might boil down to something like the base being too dry or the coating being too sweet, while the gluttonous cake monster's negative experience with it might be that they felt nauseous after three entire cakes due to their nutmeg content.

So if you don't intend to eat three whole cakes in one sitting, their reflection on their negative experience is absolutely useless to you. Similarly, something like 9000 hours reflects an entirely different, unlikely and probably unique point of view, not a 100-1000x more refined version of the 8-80 hours most players will experience.

In this specific case however, the reviewer makes it clear that they feel like they've hade the rug pulled out under them by an update to the game, and can clearly state several concrete reasons why they think it's inferior to an earlier versions that don't just boil down to hating everything new. Whatever your experience is or whether you'll play the game for 9000 hours yourself, the points are mostly made such that their content makes sense to anyone. But I think their review seems reasonable despite their hours spent, not in the slightest because of them. Those are observations any player could have made after 10 or 100 hours.
> Fair enough, let me be direct: I think the question is stupid and I'm not going to answer it.

So you can't answer it.

> probably bought into the conversation by institutions that specialises in lying about what Trump says

Nope, he said it 4 times in 2023 alone and many many times since. In an interview with a right leaning website, in a rally in New Hampshire, and quite literally in the Truth Social post linked above, straight from Trump himself. No pesky journalists or reporters to misquote.

So hopefully we can agree he has said it, not out of context, multiple times.

What did Hitler say?

"All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning"

"Whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race, the result has been the downfall of the people who were the standard-bearers of a higher culture,"

Going back to Trump's quote, what type of blood do you think he was referring to?

Do you think he meant the immigrants were going to literally inject poison into Americans as some kind of terrorist attack?
This is generally not a problem for most inference.
That's probably most of it, but the way Japan typically teaches English is sort of notoriously bad. That probably doesn't help either.

> If people do not have a need to learn another language, it becomes an uphill battle.

You do see some Japanese companies talking up the need for English competency; I suppose if more and more companies there use English competency as one thing they're looking for in job applicants, that might cause a shift elsewhere, as suddenly there's a 'need' (and thus a motivation).

> Katakana is used less than hiragana

Katakana was used much more frequent than hiragana for about a century following the Meiji restoration, regardless of the technical limitation. That can be thought as another parallel though: Latin majuscule letters are (close to) the original Latin script while minuscule letters are derived from them, but now minuscule letters are much more frequently used. The only difference here is that either hiragana or katakana wasn't derived from each other, they share the single origin of simplified Chinese characters.

Their "server count" is definitely much higher than what you are thinking.
Once physical hardware is involved, the problem gets a lot more complicated.

If you're talking about $2M worth of 4090s you have to concern yourself not only with putting them in hosts, but also with adequate space, power distribution, cooling, and networking. You have to figure out how to gracefully handle hardware failures. You have to install operating systems, or at least come up with some mechanism to deploy automatically. And you just straight up have to supply labor to get 1000+ of these things plugged in.

All that before you can get even get to the "fun part". If you're a multi-millionaire you might be willing to just pay the spot price premium.
You know very well that any answer to that question can be met with, by either side, "well then what about such and such event".

Not sure what kind of maniac would "consume" porn openly at school. In contrast, I doubt most kids will have any such misgivings about social media, especially if not enforced.

Woah, I had to look up the historical economic performance of Portugal. I found GDP growth figures from 1996. Man, it is rough: About 1.5% per year. Ref: https://tradingeconomics.com/portugal/gdp-growth-annual

That is so low for an upper-middle/lower-upper income country. (Most economists would not describe Portugal as high income in 1996.) I expected EU integration would have made their economy boom. You are right: I have not seen this pattern before. Normally, good democracies can "right the ship".

Why does this persist in Portugal?
> It is a tidier solution.

Based on special syntax. You're about to introduce node attributes.

> They are common in data.

I use tables everyday. May I have "first-class graph support" but for tabular data that is very common as well? I expected three or four times you eventually explain what makes the graph support and how it differs from declaring ids and refs in other formats you think are worse than yours. No answer.

> Separate attributes and sub elements is a mistake. One should be able to guess an ᴀᴘɪ.

For the first, I kind of agree that attributes and subnodes should be unified in favor of subnodes (which was sacrificed for markups like HTML for sane brevity sake). However attributes, your ids are, may be metadata for nodes of any kind. For the second, API for what? Document generating/parsing API? Validation API? Serialization/deserialization API? Enveloped application API? I guess, the latter for whatever reason dictated in your "standard" . In any case documentation, schemas, data validators and autocompletes are my best friends, no need to "guess".

> That is laborours! A Xᴇɴᴏɴ library provides AsGuid, AsDateTime etc.. and serialization directly to/from those types.

What you're mentioning is called serialization and deserialization, and these two be easily implemented once for "basic" types and extended at the application level for any kind of data, because an application decides what to do with data on its own, not the format the data is enveloped in. Serialization and deserialization don't exist from the format perspective which only defines the syntax way data is marked up in a document. So why would it care the formatting at all?

> Yes. Human have to read markup.

Format should not care too much.

> I repeat! READABILITY.

No yelling please. Regional formats are defined by countries, not languages you said elsewhere, just by definition, even if English is the lingua franca. Separate digits with underscores or spaces.

I'm very happy your "standard" neither recommend color highlighting for, say, numbers, nor even worse has special syntax for readability highlighting. Highlighting increases readability greatly as well, you know.

> No, quite the opposite.

6:4 but 1:3 is a great syntax win. Okay.

No any solid counter arguments from your side being blind for obvious design flaws of your so-called format "standard" only tells how you mixed up all concepts in a mess of crazy syntax markup, and scalar object formatting for scalars that only must be handled by applications while serialization and deserialization regardless the markup format "standard" recommends.

Good luck with your "standard" rightly criticized and rejected by others, but better just bury it not spending your life for nothing. Sincerely.
Its the correct analogy. The russians are literally the same as the nazis. They are commiting genocide against the Ukrainians and they have already made clear that they intend to dominate europe.

The fact that it is "of course right on target for other 8000 hour players" contradicts the notion that its just "their own idiosyncratic experience". There must in fact something deeper which leads to convergence on the same idiosyncratic views, not just a long tail bell curve leading to completely random idiosyncratic individuals. Something sucks them in, even if that thing wasn't an original consideration in the design.

You are also missing that American soft culture is even stronger than what Japan exports. It's just been around longer and normalized for so long it is just normal to consume American media outside the US. I've ran into people that know more about US laws than the laws of their home country just from watching US television

As for Japan, it's not just the western nations. Taiwan also has a huge fascination with Japan. Many Asian nations have like Japan for their strong soft culture, but detest the Japanese government for historical treatment of these nations. Japanese and American governments are heavily invested in soft power. Here is a long but interesting video discussing Japanese soft power https://youtu.be/IM2VIKfaY0Y?si=H0gRcyKtu4kMUaCj

South Korea has also had a lot of success with soft power. It's just had a later start than Japan and the US.
It's hard to stay polite in discussions where people use the guise of irony to say things they know they shouldn't. You have no evidence for your proposal, and I bet you can't even argue why it would be a net positive, without resorting to prejudice.

I feel like there's almost the reverse stereotype of this for Americans living in Japan. Like, that they're weirdly obsessed with Japanese culture and try too hard to become more Japanese.
Those are not nearly comparable specs.
This is a very funny conclusion. Testosterone increases after the first raise, making the founder feel great. Testosterone decreases after the second round due to stress and pressure.

And testosterone correlates with whether they can raise a big round.

> So you might have to update everything that references your changing API to use the new version....

That's how versioning works.

- You allow legacy applications to consume the legacy interface,

- you provide a new interface to the world so that they have a path forward to migrate out of consuming the legacy service through the legacy interface,

- the consumers migrate in a time frame that makes sense to them.

- in the end you sunset the legacy API, and pull the plug.

This scenario is not eliminated by monorepos.

What monorepos do is force consumers to migrate to the new interface as an urgent task that's part of the critical path. If you have resources to do that migration, it does not matter how you store your code.
