LOL, as a non-native English speaker, reading this reminds me of EXACTLY the same problem of translating many things, but more precisely, computer articles and software development.

There’s a huge amount of terms that are difficult to translate (sharding? Hash?). The only real solution is to adopt them to your language, more or less adapted, which is what happens over time. But it requires a community that, to some degree, is able to cross the gap between the languages. In this case, learning English.

Talking about software development in Spanish (my native language) is a succession of imported terms from English.

I don’t think there’s a good way of doing that, and I’m interested to see how automatic translations deal with it, because the only way this can work is with a process of mixing both language in a social way and see what terms evolve from that process.

And you need, in the terms the post describes, people that know Korean at least in a non-fluent way. And the game itself, of course.
Really? To me, for example iPhones haven't changed at all in a long time, they get spec bumps but are essentially the same product, and people buy replacements mostly because of batteries going bad / apps bloating / fashion.

Apple's new products are surprisingly often failures, for their background. Vision Pro anyone?
That seems unlikely. Peace in Europe exists because the United States threatens its absence with a fist by its heart. America had to save Europe from destroying itself once and now the US has pacified Europe by placing its troops and weapons there lest the nations turn on each other in uncivilized violence again. And then again, when they dragged their feet, the US had to blow up their gas pipelines pour encourager les autres. The continent is incapable of protecting its own shipping lanes without US support and NATO acts as a deterrent solely because the US is in it. Take it out and the Europeans will spend the majority of their time telling everyone how it's not a big deal that Ukraine will fall to Russia, and Poland, and so on.
If ship owners with hundreds of millions in assets cannot fight them, who can?
Nit-picking, but a high signal to noise ratio is desirable, indicating low levels of noise compared to signal, not the reverse.
What if I’m opening an email in Outlook? What if I’m looking at something in Control Panel? (That one’s a trick question, since the answer has changed in modern Windows versions.)
It's a very good idea that is worth pursuing, they are pursuing it. There are many many many problems that need solving between here and "this is a better way to make energy from heat at scale than turning water into steam and spinning a turbine". The science is fundamentally sound but we're nowhere near economic viability.
By the way, as a challenge, try how you can program an "If" statement in Flipjump.

According to Wikipedia (yes I am linking directly to it and not a source, sorry to all of my teachers.) it seems that the magazines were distributed by news stands in many major USA cities, you did not need to go to the Embassy. But it also go on to note that this was because of an inter-governmental agreement which muddies the water. E.g. "Was it because of the agreement or because of the constitution and we just _said_ it was because of the agreement."
These aren’t black swan events. These are swan events, if anything.
This is such a slippery slope. If I post on my social media that I hate my government and its policies - it should be protected as political speech.

You cannot jail people for their thoughts. Unless a person is physically present in public and is inciting violence in person, they do not violate anything
From Apple's document on Advanced Data Protection:

>With Advanced Data Protection enabled, Apple doesn't have the encryption keys needed to help you recover your end-to-end encrypted data.

Apple doesn't have the keys. Somebody else might. Somebody other than you. Also, I think they meant to say decryption keys, although they're probably just dumbing down terminology for the masses.

>If you ever lose access to your account, you’ll need to use one of your account recovery methods

"You'll need to use." Not "there is no way except to use."

>Note: Your account recovery methods are never shared with or known to Apple.

"shared with or known to Apple." Not "shared with or known to anyone else."

The encryption is there, I believe that. I just don't know how many copies of the keys there are. If the only key is with me, it would be super easy for Apple to just say that. I believe that they have said that in the past, but the wording has now changed to this hyper-specific "Apple does not have the key" stuff.
> The experience, in the end, was always on point for shortform content. Nothing else like it exists; and I don't think American tech can make it because they benefit too much from being ad networks.

How does TikTok make money?
Does the wider start up economy still look positively on pivoting?
"Does the wider start up economy still look positively on pivoting?"

yeah that's the core question I guess.

A little background; my cofounder and I have a good start up but we're struggling to accelerate growth and raise capital because our current product is a simple Saas company.

In our frustration we started a side project. We started working on a "cynical ai pivot" and after 2 months of work its paid off, we have a couple customers of the "cynical ai pivot." Should we keep the same company and pivot the product or should we start a new company? Does the wider start up eco-system still celebrate pivoting or would it look better for us to start fully fresh.

I am surprised someone has not attempted to reverse engineer it or make something very similar.
If your house burning down was a near certainty within a few decades, the real cost of insurance would be buying a new house + profit margin.

So many wtf here. If anything this proves it is backdoored network card

2) the USB storage provided by network card can still contain malware,

3) or can be accidentally booted from

4) it has universal USB controller, so can become any HID device: keyboard, mouse...
Sure, but that's how it already works. The airplane example is how building codes generally work. London didn't rebuild in wood after the Great Fire, to give an ancient, and large-scale, example.

From what I've read, the houses in LA that did survive were modern or heavily remodeled houses incorporating recent code changes to prevent embers from entering the eaves and suchlike.

It really doesn't help that most of LA was built up in the early to mid 20th century; requiring code updates during remodels can only help so much, because if the cost/change is too much/invasive the homeowners either don't remodel at all or do it without permits, bypassing the more costly safety improvements.
As others have pointed out: Compare the budgets.

That “first success” was actually on the back of a long series of related rockets with technology and engines inherited from a huge missile program. Those NASA eggheads didn’t start from zero on a shoestring budget and make things work on the first try! The Saturn V was just a stretched version of the Saturn series of rockets. These all cost hundreds of billions in today’s money to develop!

Second, they’re not “the same thing”. A single-use piece of technology has very different design constraints and engineering considerations as a reusable piece of technology.

A single-use weapon is a bomb. A reusable weapon is a sword. Just because you can shove a fuse into some explosives doesn’t mean you can forge a sword that won’t shatter on first use.

An equivalent example from space technology are explosive bolts. NASA uses them extensively, SpaceX never does… because they’re not reusable and not up-front testable. They’re expensive too. So instead they iterated (and iterated!) on vacuum-rated actuators that can serve the same role. This is a non-trivial exercise that resulted in a few RUDs. This is why NASA didn’t even try! It’s harder and not needed if reusability was a non-goal.
But then we're talking about website tracking, things like that, not actual exfiltration of stored data?

Look, the annual fire disasters in California are not a normal thing.

If people just point out it's not normal, people complain that nowhere else has fire so nobody else understands the problem. If people point out similar places, looks like it's "Four Yorkshiremen-ing" (whatever that is). So, yeah, let it keep burning, whatever.
It's a clear sign the international version of TikTok, because of it's addictiveness and content, would never be allowed for a single minute in China by the people that know the most about what it is, and what is does.

I would have expected the language documentation to focus more on this observation and to explain for instance how self modification is used to implement while loops. But I don't even see the term mentioned anywhere?!

One way could be age limits and more stringent verification of age for all social media platforms.

Another way could be limiting feed algorithms to chronological order only.

Another could be limiting what data can be collected from users on these platforms. Or limiting what data could be provided to other entities.

Who knows if these are the best ways to regulate social media, but they would like help mitigate some of the clear harms.
> Unfortunately, this kind of blocklist is highly subjective. This list blocks MSN.com! That's hardly what I would have chosen.

I'm wondering how much the blacklist can be broken down into categories of spam. Sponsorblock for YouTube has a lot options around the types of things it'll skip through and the user has choice in how they're handled (skipped automatically, prompted to skip, simply highlighted in the scrubbar) at the category level.
We just don't care. We know the all the American TLAs are on our phones, so what's a few more Chinese ones? It's a problem for Washington war wonks to freak out about, not teens in Omaha.

It's fundamentally extra work to support Windows when the rest of us are writing software for POSIX environments. Whatever extra work you think it takes to break Windows development is because others before already ported first POSIX-supported work to Windows.

Node, Deno, and Bun, and all their contemporaries in other programming language ecosystems are targeting POSIX first, and then often times forcing those same APIs to behave the same way on Windows.

That's why. Most full stack web developers are not doing things in a Windows environment.
NixOS literally just broke webcam drivers on alder lake and wake from sleep. That was a huge pain to deal with when updating for the rsync vulnerabilities. And a bunch of other issues.

Thank goodness for perfect rollbacks. I'll take rsync vulnerabilities over a super broken system and try again in a few weeks.

As soon as I clicked on the link and saw there was C code included, I knew how the comment section was going to go...
There only needs to be one Republican in the house who doesn't like the bill, and we already know that Trump doesn't do even a little bit of bipartisanship (nor I doubt he will start in this next term).

He only has a couple of years to pass bills also, it is unlikely that the Republicans retain control of the house after the next midterm (unless Trump is popular).
>I can't tell if people just don't know that this is happening, or if they take their memes way too seriously.

Exactly. Everyone is having fun bidding adieu to their Chinese spys. And I think they're losing sight of the fact that there's abundant reporting on harrassing expats and dissidents internationally, pressuring countries to comply with their extradition requests, to say nothing of jailing human rights lawyers and democratic activists and detaining foreigners who enter China based on their online footprint.

Most of the time I bring this up I get incredulous denials that any of this happens (I then politely point such folks to Human Rights Watch reporting on the topic), or I just hear a lot of whataboutism that doesn't even pretend to defend Tiktok.
Every public school I've been to has literally been built like a prison. Every student I ever met made the same comparison.

Functionally; as TikTok is a known/controlled mouthpiece for the CCP - it's infringing the first amendment rights of the foreign govt within US borders?
Yeah, this is one of the situations it makes sense to use lua. They're specifically interested in something that can be accomplished in it, and it's already configured into an environment that mitigates some of its weaknesses as a learning language. Roblox scripting is another area where I've had good results introducing kids to programming.
Well, to a large extent, the reason Russia and North Korea are hopeless backwaters ruled by petty dictators and filled with suffering… is precisely because nobody would trade with or invest in them. And when they predictably fall into dysfunction and despair, they end up threatening everyone’s peace. You reap what you sow. We need to do better.
Hmm. I guess it is never impossible that there’s a version of something that will trick people consistently. But, I’m kinda struggling to recall a time I’ve needed to double click on a website.

Actually the double-click action is pretty rare nowadays, right? In particular, I use it a lot to select a word in a terminal, but most of the time when I am getting UI instructions it is from a website about how to use the website itself, and since that’s a website it has to be abstract enough to also make sense for mobile users.

Telling people to double click is, I think, mostly dead.
I agree, you should be able to install whatever the fuck you want.

Google and Apple shouldn't be helping China get you to do that, by hosting and advertising it in their app store though*. Oracle shouldn't be helping China spy on Americans by hosting their services.

This isn't a law against you installing things on your phone. You're still free to install whatever you want on your phone.

*And if there is a valid first amendment claim here, it would probably be Google and Apple claiming that they have the right to advertise and convey TikTok to their users, despite it being an espionage tool for a hostile foreign government. Oddly enough they didn't assert that claim or challenge the law.

Maxim (now owned by Analog) actually manufactures a single-instruction processor series, called MAXQ. It uses a single move instruction, with a flag for literals, and a transport triggered architecture.
But sometimes it does.
If TikTok turned out to be State sponsored spyware, would you reconsider?

I support your slippery slope argument. I wonder where your red line is relative to "state sponsored spyware" and "typical advertising ID tracking" or "cool new app from company influenced by an adversarial super power".

The point is that it's not your average medieval polity. Novgorod was a merchant republic in which literacy was seemingly held in high esteem in and of itself, resulting in a social pressure to acquire it. And then on top of that they had access to plenty of birch bark, which happens to be a very convenient and cheap writing material where it's available, and does not require any ink or fancy tools to use; just a sharp stylus.

As far as survival, because of how common birch bark notes were in Novgorod, they were used for mundane everyday matters like instructions to servants to purchase such and such goods, or even just a one-liner greeting, and a lot of those were then discarded and ended up buried underground. So, again, a very different slice compared to the more typical story of expensive manuscripts in libraries, or personal correspondence of nobility.
> We are about to face many hard questions about these systems, including some difficult questions about whether they will actually be working for us at all.

And how. I'd lean towards no. Where we're headed feels like XKEYSCORE on steroids. I'd love to take the positive, optimistic bent on this, but when you look at where we've been combined with the behavior of the people in charge of these systems (to be clear, not the researchers or engineers, but c-suite), hope of a neutral, privacy-first future seems limited.
It's not even appetite per se; GLP-1s regulate blood sugar for more sustained levels, which is upstream of appetite. Safe to say that blood sugar impacts a bunch of other stuff too.
You are making a distinction without a difference. China knows TikTok is harmful, which is why it allows it's export and bans domestic consumption. Think of it like a drug.

adaptation to hurricane winds has largely been done in many parts of Florida; adaptation to storm surge is possible and some cities are beginning to.

I don't buy it either. Entire generations are growing up without expectations of digital privacy. Our data leaks everywhere, all the time, intentionally and otherwise.

I think it's more about the fact that users of platform are able to connect and share their experiences and potential action for resolving class inequality. There's an entire narrative that is outside of US govt/corp/media control, and that's a problem (to them).
For every new language I learn, there's a task I eventually want for various purposes, and that's to use whatever reflection system that is available to traverse data structures in memory, and at the very least, dump a log of those structures to a certain depth.

C# took about 2h to do this acceptably.
Javascript took 4h or so and I'm still not happy with it. Too many warts and odd ways of accessing arrays etc...

Lua took 30 minutes and it just worked perfectly. There was nothing left to do. it's just so simple.

I love that about it.

You can still install the app on your phone. Tik Tok just can't do business in the US any more.

Partially because that story about Japan is incorrect.

In reality, it is Japanese condos that get gutted periodically or when sold, and it's driven by their real estate tax code.

Japan takes enormous effort to prevent and mitigate natural disasters.

There may have been some truth to it 200 years ago, with the idea that wood was the only economical way to build a house that could last.
Yes, you can build reinforced concrete structures rated to not collapse during a M8-9 earthquake. However, the quantity of steel and reinforcement required for the concrete structure to have sufficient strength makes it expensive and labor intensive to build.

The US has been pioneering other construction techniques using welded steel plates instead of reinforced concrete. They have excellent seismic resistance and are much cheaper to build because you don't need to place rebar.

Well, not just management. Some individual contributor(s) developed the processes and software to implement this, too.

Hi! I'm Akshatha from the Product team at Mermaid Chart :)

While Draw.io's integration with Mermaid and the availability of plug-ins for VSCode and other IDEs are great, they primarily support programmatic editing of diagrams. What sets Mermaid Chart apart is its bi-directional editing capability. You can edit the code to update the diagram and make changes directly to the diagram, which will automatically reflect in the code.

Currently, this two-way editing functionality is available for class diagrams and flowcharts, but we're excited to expand it to other popular diagram types in the future. Stay tuned!
