If the aim is to improve literacy rate, focusing so much energy into to changing the entire set of characters for a written language is just incredibly stupid. It has a small marginal improvement but an tremendous repercussions. The Chinese

Besides making the big G happy, these semantic relationships also helps libraries authors to easily traverse a series purely on the front end. Years ago, I looked at Github's pagination API [1] and discovered this approach also makes i

Your last 3 points, especially the last point seems to require a lot of discipline to pull off. There's an article IBM's developerWorks that says code reviews are the most effective when devs are reviewing 2-400 lines of code at a

At some point someone is going to have ask the questions: Who is gaming HN, why is this news and at the top spot of HackerNews? MS has been offering this for years and yet every once in a while I see posts similar to this on the front page.

Negotiation: We have been doing that for at least 30 years. Economy: I in general agree but let's not forget most of China depends on the banks in Hong Kong for lending. There's a lot of capital at stake here.

Nobody can predict the future. What I can tell is, this is unprecedented in terms of persistence, organization and scale. All of the resistance just self-organized into multiple areas now. We are very very very upset with the government in

Software dev is definitely a middle class job in China, but in HK, it's only considered marginally better than clerical work. Labor in Greater China for any job other than the most exploitative ones (finance, sales, insurance, legal, u

Hey ah guys. Most devs in HK earn < 30k USD a year. China is half that, Taiwan is even worse. When you factor in how freaking expensive everything is in HK, especially real estate, HK devs in general are basically slave labors.

So writing to the main thread from a parallel context crashes the thread, but what about interrupting a parallel thread from the main thread and send data to it? Not that one should do something like that but how does PyParallel handle it?
