> When Taiwan operated in one party rule under the Chiang family they did not make significant economic progress

This is objectively wrong.

Taiwan made tremendous economic progress during the period of one-party rule under Chiang Kai-shek and later his son Chiang Ching-kuo. During the KMT's authoritarian rule from the late 1940s through the 1980s, Taiwan experienced the "Taiwan Miracle". Land reforms in the 1950s boosted agricultural productivity and created a rural middle class. In the 1960s Taiwan shifted from an agriculture-based economy to an export-oriented industrial economy, and by the 1980s Taiwan had one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with GDP growth rates often exceeding 8-10% annually. Chiang pursued an export-led growth model, encouraging foreign investment and industrial development, supporting industries like semiconductors, which is why you have TSMC today.

The KMT government also made major investments in education, particularly in science and engineering, hugely increasing literacy rates. All these strategic initiatives and policies meant that Taiwan became one of the Four Asian Tigers by the 1980s.

On a slightly related note, on Taiwanese social media today it is not uncommon to come across Taiwanese people lamenting that the KMT built the TSMC, and the DPP is selling it out. Whether this is a fair and accurate assessment of the DPP is another discussion, but this seems to be the sentiment among many Taiwanese these days.
They shouldn’t be tinkering around in my computer.
But they don't have to represent absolute levels. They could just as easily have represented relative levels, with h2 in a doubly nested section to describe the level today expressed as h4. Dependent on your usecase, this could either be very useful or just mess up your styles a lot.

I think it is largely nature. Linus has great ability to

1) Identify and resonate deeply with developer issues (like Git, Linux)

2) Focus on executing a usable product in a very short time

So combined it's a really potent ability. If he had the personality he'd probably be a really great founder, but he has chosen to open source all his stuff.

It would be a disastrous blow to oil indystry if everyone agreed we have to move away from both plastic and oil.

We produce more and more plastic each year, every new law reducing oil consumption is greated with doubling the amount of plastic we produce.

Microplaatic is in our brain now, causing damage that is irreversable.

Freezing grants is just one of many reasons why we need to put stop to that cancer which is oil industry.
Copper is largely unsafe with foods due to copper toxicity due to it leeching into foods. It is not like aluminum in this respect which is a hundred times safer.

There’s probably no safe limit of driving a car or using a step ladder.

Alcohol has been with us since the beginning and will probably be with us until the end. The point of these studies should be to make people aware of the risks and motivate them to make appropriate choices.

But part of the understanding of risk should be that there is a floor below which something else will most assuredly kill you. Is that floor 10 drinks per week? 2? Who knows.

Except, this didn’t take longer.

In fact, it would have taken longer had we had to “sculpt” the dependencies.

But—we also wouldn’t have had the same quality.

Again, I don’t mean to suggest that you should necessarily “paint” like we do at TigerBeetle, but we’re happy with the time and quality of the project, that it (more than) met our standard.

We’re not trying to impose TigerStyle on you, but it works for us.
This is such an underrated experience - a bottle of wine (doesn't even have to be particularly expensive, just pleasant), some cheeses, maybe a few slices of sausage or cold cuts, maybe a baguette or a salty cracker. Jazz or perhaps a some easy listening music in the background - pure bliss! The best things in life cost so little and yet are so perfect.

Broken glass on the street is an aesthetic issue, assuming one has good shoes. In contrast, with gradual plastic accumulation, life on Earth is headed for extinction.

Also, for poor people, they need the money that they money back when they return a glass bottle, so they have an incentive to not trash it, certainly not on the street.

Glass containers don't require any lining. As for aluminum without a lining, it is okay for certain dry foods only, nothing wet.
Good point. Seems I also made a reasoning error by failing to consider that timezones, being arbitrary legal constructs, can be changed at the drop of a hat.

However it doesn't seem particularly difficult to fix. My error was suggesting using TAI for storage. I guess that works only for events in the past. So the timezone that the event belongs to is what should have been used for storage, you should forget leap seconds exist because this is a human centric calendar so who cares, and you should trust the datetime library to just do the right thing when converting timestamps.

Is there some other issue I'm missing? Because so long as all the timezone complexity is stuffed into the datetime library (and thus NotMyProblem™) it seems like the really difficult part is already solved for you.
If "most people would understand the automation level to be 0%" then you can't represent that the automation level is something else, unless you're explicit about deviating from the commonly understood meaning of 'automation'.

Doesn't look like it fully supports the language or ecosystem, with partial support for 1.21 version.
What you're looking for is a <heading> tag. It would have been the right solution to this issue without introducing changes for h1-h6
I think the fact that every webdev feels the need to override the user's agent and impose their own idea of what size a H1 should be is, well, kind of imposing. I might want to make H1 be 50 point comic sans. This should not matter to the web developer.

Meow Meow Beans episode in Community predated the Black Mirror episode by a couple of years.

But yes, agreed about Black Mirror feeling hollow with its lack of nuance in its pessimism.

However I don't think Nosedive is the right episode to make this point as we see the protagonist getting assistance from the truck driver lady as well as the people protagonist ends up being held with are able to share a laughter in the freedom of losing it all.
AI does not lie. AI does not hallucinate. AI does not do anything. It’s just an algorithm. We, as humans, tend to anthropomorphize it, but it has no will of its own.

It was not that long ago, and I would call "not being headed for extinction" better than the alternative.

In the West, plastic use became widespread in homes and with foods in the 1950s. In most other countries it took until the 1980s.

But it doesn't need to be! If you want to put out a nice charcuterie and cheese spread for a social occasion, you have so many options at multiple price points. You can make a great spread with even a generic cheddar, colby, "mozerella" etc. If you've got a restaurant supply store near you, bet you can find some basic sausages, salami, etc that won't break the ban on a charcuterie board. I've seen $20 spreads and $200+ spreads, and while they were different, each made the guests happy.
It's a good point. I responded to the adjacent comment.

After glancing at that RFC I'm unclear about the purpose of the UTC offset. Is it simply an error check to catch the case of a datetime library with outdated timezone information? Otherwise it seems like the library will have all the historical information on hand so it shouldn't have any use for it.
Reproducability and security. You're getting the managed security of a Windows install plus your isolating it from Windows telementry.
Yes, the user should ultimately have the final say about what colors, fonts, and sizes are used by their browser. We've handed way too much control over to the web developers. Web sites don't have to be pixel perfect. If I want to render text using Comic Sans by default, that shouldn't "break" anything.
Honestly, this feels like a long-overdue cleanup. The outline algorithm always sounded good on paper, but in practice, it just created confusion - especially when different tools and screen readers treated headings differently.

Dropping the UA styles makes things more predictable: <h1> means <h1>, no matter where it lives. Yeah, the partial rollout across browsers is going to be rough - debugging across inconsistent browser behavior is going to be a nightmare. Still, if this pushes devs to rely less on implicit styling and more on their own structure, they can now take control of heading semantics more properly.
With the proliferation of string type prefixes will they add one that represents a r#""# real raw string capable of ending with a backslash?

I remember an article, I think by Neal Stephenson, that described the change in the attitude of SF over the years. Things like 20000 leagues under the sea, off on a comet etc. were optimistic, adventurous and generally upbeat. Even the Asimov books were more about world building than doomsaying. There's quite a bit of dystopian pessimistic stuff that's in the market now and perhaps it's just because it's what sells or maybe there's a deeper underlying reason. In any case, the shift was something he talked about in the article/talk.

I remember reading round the world in 80 days when I was a kid and while it's not really "science fiction" in the 90s, the overall premise really triggered my imagination. Can't really say that for many of the more doom and gloom type stories that I read later in my adult life. I liked the freshness of Black Mirror when it first came out (pre Netflix) but then it dawned on me that it was mostly doomscrolling repackaged and converted into slick entertainment. I tuned out after that.

Not the OP but I did something similar for a breakout style game. I just interactively provided details specifications like there is a ball, paddle, bricks, powerups, what they look like and behave, how collision is handled, etc. For example, if you get a multi-ball powerup, it will add additional two balls in flight. If you get a shooter power up, the paddle will be able to shoot bullets for 10s. I didn't even have to write any code to get exactly what I thought up.

my bank doesn’t support iphone 7 anymore so i guess it’s getting closer to a dumbphone, and not doomscrolling my bank account is definitely a plus for my health
This isn't "protect[ing] its borders." Israel sealed off Gaza, which isn't even Israeli territory.

Israel won't have security as long as it continues to oppress the Palestinians. I have no sympathy for their arguments about their own security as long as they continue to steal Palestinian land and kill tens of thousands of Palestinians.

Don't forget nuclear power in the Simpsons and many shlocky horror movies before that. America could have had thousands of nuclear power plants by the 2000s. Though oil politics and deep pockets directly funding anti nuclear advocacy groups plays more of a role here than fiction.

The direct cost is at least 100,000 lives in America alone, all the technological advancement that comes with cheap electricity, and who knows what affects it would have had on the climate.

“Tonight's story on the Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched, or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing. The cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines, because they displeased him. And he moved an entire community back into the dark ages, just by using his mind.”

The problem is I feel is that the "value system" tied to tech. innovation is very simplistic and often doesn't really have any forcing functions other than short term profit for a small number of people.

Things like AI, surgical bots etc. can definitely be useful and can better our condition. They probably are doing that too but the amount of serious long term thinking from a traditionally ethical standpoint is limited compared the amount of research that goes into making the technology more powerful.

Zeihan is a case of believing the message because the messenger is so articulate and charming. He's a tremendously interesting narrative builder (in the vein of Taleb's narrative fallacy). I've been tracking his predictions for a few years now. I want him to be right. Unfortunately, he's seldom right.

He also seems to be veering into fabulism. He's recently said in multiple interviews that there's a clothing factory in North Carolina that is so automated that only 2 "guys" are needed to run it. Raw cotton comes in at one end, and finished clothing comes out at the other (hence Chinese labor is not needed to stitch clothes, hence China is going to collapse any day now).

Why do I believe this is fabulism? He never names this company. And the story has evolved. In earlier interviews he used to say that cloth comes out at the other end. But in a couple of recent interviews he's said finished clothing comes out at the other end.
Thanks for sharing!

This is cool, but it only seems to work on the host that has the /etc/hosts loopback redirect to *.localhost. I run my app on a home server and access it from multiple PCs on the LAN. I have several apps, each associated with a different port number. Right now, I rely on a start page (https://github.com/dh1011/start-ichi) to keep track of all those ports. I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to resolve custom domains to each of those apps?
