The very idea that any foreigner living thousands miles away could better understand and solve complex problem local people struggling for decades(even centuries) makes me sick. So does the idea that any rational organisation would commit t

Good read, thanks! I'd like to thank uBlock even more: after finishing the article, it has blocked something I don't like for 221 times.

the only thing from Google I really like, at this moment, is Golang. Products I used to love are either gone (greater) or ruined. It's amazing to witness a long, gradual process of unavoidable increment of entropy/mediocracy. so l

If your app is impossible to scale, then your pricing model isn't aggressive enough. You should have a proper margin to grow your business b/c it'll ultimately benefit your paying customers. If it's not, someone else wou

b/c you'll have 1k paying customers sooner or later. if you can't scale, you won't have a viable business. Look, I'm not suggesting to throw away your entire stack. It's very likely that you spend few days, fin

Additional 1k accounts crashed production servers? I think fixing the software stack is much more important than business strategical adjustment.

It's an interesting idea. For a civilisation is constructing a Dyson swarm, the time required to build a 20% coverage one to 30% one should be less than a decade. If I remember correctly, NASA is already be able to observe 1% of the di

It's actually not a problem at all. It'll be extremely unlikely that two civilizatizations in this case are about same level in terms of science and technology (+/-1000 years). So when the two communicate, the advanced one ca

Assuming a Type 2 civilization has 10x population of the earth, each individual of it would consumes more energy than all of human beings combined. It's reasonable to suggest that light-year to it would be less challenging than AU to

It would make no sense if a Type 2 Civilization this close to earth did nothing to us.

Future historians will regard it as the #1 contribution of Xi's presidency.

it's a sad reality that in this world, marketing ability is far more important than originality, unless the new idea is 10x times better than the old ones.

I should've pointed the context: GUI. Win32 is not unidirectional data flow. there is the API SetWindowLong to modify/update a component anywhere you like. It's used so widely everyone must've done it.

by wangii 11y ago
couldn't agree more. React makes unidirectional data flow mainstream first time in the history. it's the important bit.

Maybe I should put it this way: US already reached its peak status, and it's very difficult to even find a way or area to "grow". In 1920s, although US became an economic super power, there were still plenty of room to grow i

Good read, thanks! The argument is well established except that the author omitted one crucial factor, which is, US became the only super power in the world in recent two decades. At the time the Constitution was drafted, nobody in his&#x2F

I doubt if anyone could describe in natural language a complex enough idea clearly and consistently without doing it. It's not AI, it's Super Intelligent.

Languages thrive or die. The successful ones are those enable(d) less capable people at the time to do fashionable works as good as, or even better than the professionals. It has nothing to do with anything other than marketing strategy: fi

If you read the 2nd book, you'll find out Trisolarans is probably more like Japanese. I can't represent all Chinese, but for me, US at its worst is an annoying spoiled teenager, but Japan is another story.

Yes. I read the first one after finished the second.

It's exactly what the 2nd instalment about: a `scientific` definition of good/evil in the scale of universe, and its consequence, the Femi Paradox.

"The Three Body Problem" is a nice book, but far from great. However, the 2nd instalment, "The Dark Forest" is going to blow your mind. It's the best sci-fi book ever written in Chinese, and IMHO the best since Isaa
