My bad, I was looking for source of the second claim (French supplies) before getting interrupted. Now I'm unable to edit my comment. My claim that France supplied weapons to Hong Kong Police recently was not correct. The "Water C

Not XinJiang, but after British and American companies refused to sell weapons to Hong Kong Police , they turned to French and Swedish companies which happily sold them whatever they wanted [1][2]. [1] - https://hongkongfp.com&#x

It's incredibly sad that this is not getting as much attention as it should. Lots of people in the world knows about them, but not many countries, even those that suffered WWII are turning a blind eye to this. XinJiang is practically a

Improving the training set is the way to go. Like others have said, maybe we should attempt to improve contrast of darker faces before training (which won't be easy as well). That said, a non-diverse facial dataset in a diverse society

Popularity of blog posts are driven largely by SEO which is good for marketing but not so much for consuming knowledge. I believe a lot of people (myself included) don't realize they read a lot of blog posts and articles about a topic

For me I'm happy to go to office as long as I live near it, and working hours are flexible. Unfortunately a lot of industries outside tech do not provide those. The cost of transport, especially the drainage of energy after squeezing i

Also with government officials starting to describe every protest as "riots" and "terrorism", it's feared that they are paving the way to grant Chinese authorities power to legally "arrest" anyone anywhere

This is what a lot of Hong Kong people advocated. By treating Hong Kong the same as China, it's hoped Chinese companies can no longer exploit Hong Kong's different system to export stuff cheaper than in China, especially when the

Yeah, unfortunately. The image I uploaded wasn't from myself, but I confirmed it first hand before posting so it made no difference which image I posted.

The night before the proposal of the "National Security Law" in Hong Kong, Google censored pro-democracy searches in Hong Kong and later used the same excuse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23256470

Quite a nice way to get an idea of what to do. Do you use this for serious products that you feel like releasing? Would you be discouraged when you have found an alternative on the market that fixed the problem for you?

Writing down worries and fears is new to me. Will definitely try that out. Thanks!

Agreed that the "pressure" from ones that actually care about what you do is a major driver.

This is a practical method, but every now and then I sit down and review my own goals, and find they have changed after I achieved the first few smaller goals. I wonder if this is common at all.

It's really easy to get any content on the internet but really hard to verify if they are plagiarized. Basically anyone can place some ads on their websites, but if the site posts nothing but copied content, I doubt if it will last.

Was pretty skeptical until today they censored pro democracy related searches in Hong Kong [0]. First screenshot shows simply "yellow" - a synonym for pro-democracy stance, nothing is suggested. Second shows "blue" - a s

I thought Visual Studio 2019 is already great. How does it compare to JVM tools though?

Feeling the same here. It's elegant, and imo easier to read than most languages. There aren't many choices of libraries in C#, but they cover most use cases. Still I found myself happy to publish to NuGet my own package because I

If the code base is huge, maybe just read some of the code your team has been writing (if you have a fixed team). Seeing how things are supposed to be called / used is also very important if you're collaborating with others on a p

Didn't think blogging even dying given the number of high quality blog posts from personal blogs / Medium on HN. Some dev.to posts really resemble blog posts as well. Maybe it's a developer specific culture?

Try to understand what your colleagues have done. This will help you get to really know the team culture. If you're a programmer, read through some parts of the codebase, if possible, to get a sense of how your colleagues are doing the
