The key here is “admitted.” Reports from Wuhan all indicate the hospitality rate is much much lower than usual circumstances since the patient count is over the roof (due to CCP trying to cover up initial cases), and a lot of patients don’t

FWIW I came to the same conclusion as yours for the exact same reason (mocking). So there are at least two of us :p

Totally agree; node_modules starts to break horribly when you use the wrong node/npm command to access it. This is unfortunately causing a lot of misconceptions because people usually judge tools by short-term experiementations. node_m

Ah that makes sense. Well in that case it’s likely because of censorship, you don’t see those comments since they are either blocked or deleted.

I’ve seen a lot of people taking issue with the self argument. Am I crazy to actually love it as a feature? I pulled out a lot of my hairs when I first started OOP (Java) trying to gork `this`, and I remember myself thinking “why didn’t e

SAT solutions, including libsolv, is (somewhat surprisingly) not a suitable solution for pip, and Python packages in general, at least at the present time. The Google Doc link in dimino’s comment[1] covers the issues quite thoroughly (at ar

How do you implement it though? I live in Taiwan and constantly see ads from People’s Daily, which usually contains text sneakily promoting CCP propaganda. Do those ads count as political? I hope so, otherwise China would most definitely ex

Point 1 is not an issue IMO, you definitely don’t need to model anything schema-wise into SQLAlchemy ORM to make Alembic useful, since Alembic operations translate pretty much directly to SQL. I’ve just built a project last month that uses

As a native Chinese speaker, I find several points in the article a bit awkward to comprehend, especially when you flip the table around. It might be likely less than sophisticated for Françoise Duchamps to call herself Fran Swazzy in Engli

Also worth noting is the GFW bans Wikipedia, limiting its popularity in China (most prefer Baidu’s equivalent, and those stay are comparably more liberal). So things don’t get that bad unless there’s an outside trigger to make average Chine

The Costco part is not true. There is definite evidence the recently-opened Costco in Shanghai sells Chinese Moutai (or at least sold at its grand opening, not sure what happens after they got snapped off the shelves). This is not specific

It’s more of an unfortunate misinterpretation IMO. The translation is quite literal, but does not imply the same concept in Chinese as in English. The 人肉 part originally means human as in “the human calculator” or similar expressions. A “hu

I wouldn’t say it’s common, but it’s not exactly rare (to reasonably say “unique”) either. At the end of the day it’s just a form of operator overloading, and is generally present in languages that value expressiveness. Python and C++ (as m

I agree as much as the next commenter here that HK can’t survive Tiananmen 2.0, but am not so sure about the CCP leadership. And I do have actual interactions with mainland Chinese (although I don’t know whether you’d consider them “educate

A militarized HK certainly won’t, but China may be convinced they could use military to bring Hong Kong back to approximately its pre-protest state. Hong Kong in its current state would be increasingly less likely to fill the economic role

I’m sorry to see you downvoted. Maybe the problem is you use “rest of the world” when you really mean other national governments? It is easy for people to loudly voice support, but the perspective you raised is quite valid for governments t

It depends on your analogy. Mainland Chinese “learned from experience” that the CCP is the sea (i.e. out of control of people), not part of the boat.
