Interesting. What server side tech stacks are often used by young developers in the recent hackathon? Are there a few dominant ones or many choices?

I am surprised PyPy has such a huge lead over Python. $ time python pyrb.py real 348m35.965s user 345m51.776s sys 0m22.880s $ time pypy pyrb.py real 14m2.406s user 13m55.292s sys 0m1

I think you are correct that '0748' is not a very serious/forceful phrase. Probably only a lighthearted slang used by young netizens in China.

yeah, my default search engine is bing. But sometimes you have the feeling it probably has less stuff in its database than what baidu has crawled and collected. Out of habit I rarely use 360 or sogou so I don't know how they fair comp

Another reason I think is in China the search engines have been terrible since the beginning. For example even if your search query is as specific as "ACME inc. of AAA city in BBB province" , it would be your lucky day if the firs

What happened between Firefox 61 and Firefox 63 ? 61 (and the versions before that) occasionally freeze or crashed on my old laptop (win7, 32bit), but just yesterday I installed 63, it runs very fast, feels very stable, has had no problem a

Thanks for the recommendations. One liners are fun, and life-saving. I am curious about this aspect compared to Perl 5. With Perl 6's new syntax and language features, can we still easily [ab]use one liners for fun and profit?

It was tongue in cheek, haha... I was only frustrated by my own inability to get the hang of Perl 6. As an old casual fan of Perl, I still want to take another shot at learning it very much.

by kev6168 8y ago
Perl 6 is for people who are very smart and have a great spirit in seeking and having fun in programming, I really admire that. That's my thought after two failed attempts (each lasted about two days) to learn it in 2012 and 2014. I

I have often thought about this (why didn't they drop the bombs at a few villages not very far from Tokyo to make the point?). Today I found in this thread and the 2016 discusssion two good(I think) reasons, one was to race against Sta

I have tried previously to switch from vim to other editors (IDEA and sublime text). It felt painful. But this time (to VS Code) it has been smooth so far. I think it might be the result of me forcing myself to forget about the vim way comp

by kev6168 8y ago
It's VS Code + the vscodevim extension for me lately and it's been great. I am not a first-rate Vim user anyway, so the convenience and ecosystem of VS Code won me over easily.

haha true. I watched 10 days non-stop of cute cats on Douyin, then I tried to find other types, but found very lacking.

I agree, though Instagram is images based with plenty of sources for good contents (photos created by shopping web site, the makers of those products, etc.), but videos are not as plentyful.

My opinion on the long term potential of China's short video platforms has changed completely in the last three months. Used to be high on it, but now I think it's useful but not to this hyped up level, not even close. The majorit

But these European museums for the past hundred years have been like this, "hey folks, look here, in the past we invaded other countries, burnt down their houses, plundered their stuff. It's wrong, OK! Now with that out of the wa

I have been to many major memuems in China and I don't remember seeing large sections of precious artifacts from the populations you mentioned. Can you name some of them? Also technically they are all within one country, it's diff
20.
by kev6168 8y ago
Agreed. During the 1950s/60s/70s the amount of precious art and historic artifacts lost is just staggering, it makes one sick everytime thinking about it.

by kev6168 8y ago
It's interesting to see these European nations are publicly displaying these pilfered stuff, knowing many of them carry ugly history, in museums for the whole world to see. Is this "matter of fact" mindset an unique trait of

That indeed was what in my mind. For viewers it can be a huge time waste. I lost many nights' sleep watching kittens, puppies or comedy videos, often from 11pm until 5am, in my early Douyin days. The platform kept giving me stuff from

Like eating potato chips, watching the videos on Douyin (Tik Tok) can become a non-stop action because it's a super convenient low-effort pleasurable thing to do, it's faster than fast food while lying on the sofa. The app opens i

by kev6168 8y ago
I would think so, although I am not in that age group so it's just my observation. Take Douyin as an example, it has a few hundred million users, 40% to 50% of them are under age 24 and live in smaller cities or rural areas, according

A tad too sensational and exaggerating, it's off-putting. I actually appreciate very much that the author went to China to get first-hand experience for the article. Too bad it's written as if the author was afraid that tech/

Man vs. nature, we are still bugs. What are your thoughts on how technology advancement in the next 30 years would change the way of this kind of rescue mission? Say in 2040, can a group of robots finish the mission in one day with ease? Th
