When the US supplies weapons then the US's position is far from irrelevant. The US, in line with most other countries, doesn't recognise Taiwanese independence. It also doesn't recognise China's sovereignty. You say the

The US's position is more complex. You're trying to dumb it down to mislead. (You might want to look up defacto if you don't think they have defacto independence from the PRC) If the people of Florida want Russian-backed inde

You're being disingenuous. Look at the articles mentioned in the quote. "Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances". In particular: "The United States would not formally recogni

Most of the Taiwanese--in fact all--say they're culturally Chinese but politically Taiwanese. That's to say, they do not want Chinese control.

They can also introduce you to interesting news articles around the time of the next election too. This will probably be the most likely use of AI. And where the money will go. You'll no longer need an army of cheap labours in the thir

English and England and its history have never been pure. It has always mixed and took from other languages and other cultures. And from such derives some its most successful cultural items: its music ands its humour and its general creativ

This will incur a lot of "maintenance" later on. I've always preferred that to technical debt. Maintenance better implies time, employees and therefore money. Obviously now when ChatGPT regenerates your entire codebase based

I wonder how this compares to the cheapest basic Samsung Android phone, A03 or similar. I'll definitely consider this as my next phone should the current one need throwing.

I've found learning vim--either as a plugin for IntelliJ or Chrome or Firefox or as a minor mode in Emacs or by itself--probably the most productive thing I've done on a computer. I spend all my time editing code. It's incred

Yeah that is annoying I must admit. You can create a nice server with just node but when you import something like a markdown parser or a sqlite driver then then your modules folder quickly fills up...

Use npm to install libraries one time only. Try to use as few dependencies as possible. You don't need a framework--components are achievable without vue and react etc. Server side rendering and VDom are really not needed for most proj

As a customer it makes me nervous Akamai have decided to ignore Linode's great brand name and good will. If they ignore one of Linode's best assets that took a lot of hard work to create then I fear future decision making. I think

Slow (the code sections take a while to load), annoying (the copy and paste thing again) and paywalled. I feel dirty when I accidentally click a medium.com link. I, unfairly, devalue the devs who use the platform.

Shared experiences. These help you learn to socialise: you can talk about what you watched and heard last night on television with a wide and local social group. You feel closer to your community through having shared things to discuss and

Can Bing or Google better integrate ChatGPT or similar to retain users? Isn't that the question? The problem with ChatGPT being confident and wrong brings up the chance of litigation, of course. The problem for search engines, surely,

I wouldn't place all the blame on sprints, fauxagile, etc. The industry is driven by fashion and medium.com-led development. If you're not jumping on the in-vogue band-wagon then you'll be punished. After a while you've

Is there a clipboard I can use without installing X or Wayland yet? Tmux and GNU screen have their own copy buffers but they're not so useful when you're copying text from separate vim instances, scrolling both up and down in vim.

I’d argue, although this can happen with other frameworks, the high level of abstraction makes it worse with React. As soon as you’ve signed up with that ship, you’re going down with that ship.
