Company using JS != company don’t use other languages/tools. It’s pretty obvious that JS is only a small part of the programming/tech world.

There’s a large world outside of JavaScript…

I would argue there is money to be made out of people with zero money. Student loans are an example. Instead of zero money, they now have negative money. This is terrible ofc.

I'm really looking forward to when SIMD support is released in later versions of Java. If anyone here follows handmade hero (by Casey), he explained SIMD in some of his videos when implementing the software renderer. The speedup from r

What does Java have to do with Indian university? Java/JVM is widely popular in the enterprise world for backend services, and a ton of open source software, e.g. Cassandra, Hadoop. You need to learn more stuff for sure.

I’m not familiar with Durable Objects. When D1 does replication to read replicas, if it’s not doing synchronous replication, then it’s not strongly consistent, is that correct?

Nice project! I have been studying system design recently and read a lot about Dynamo, Cassandra, Kafka, etc. and I realized that they have much more in common than I thought. I'm mainly learning for system design interview, but I plan

That’s a good point. I think that’s a phase that we’ll go through during the development and it’s inevitable, but that’s just my opinion.

I'd like to add my anecdote. I have been driving my Tesla for about 2 months now, and it definitely feels safer than the ICE cars I drove before. This is mainly due to more information given by the Tesla such as the distance between my

I always wonder how people come up with the designs for various ciphers. When I took crypto class in uni, it all seems like different math/bit/word operations get randomly mashed up and repeated for several rounds. Is there a good

That sounds like the idea behind Brave and BAT. But instead of crypto, you use US dollars, which I guess might work better.

I second this. I can't use over the ear ones because I'm wearing glasses. Then I got Bose qc20 and it's been working great for me so far. I can use it for a couple of hours without any major issue. The only minor issues is th

Maybe bad if you look from the perspective of a single team. However, if the overall techniques and qualities of sports teams went up, it can lead to more interesting matches and innovation.

You shouldn't treat China as a single entity. The question should be whether the Chinese people can come up with the design.

I appreciate your level-headed response. To address your first point: are most people genuinely outraged? That I do not know tbh. I can only represent my own opinion. However, I have Chinese friends that have voices their discontent with th

I agree with what you said. And the point of my previous post is trying to say that I'm not posting on Weibo and I'm not censored, yet I still have the similar sentiment that people who do post on Weibo have, tho not as extreme.

Like you said, nobody is born with an opinion. Same questions you asked above can be asked of Americans. Democracy != Good and Communism != Bad Things aren't as black and white as people make it out to be. Now, I'll tell you I&#x2

Do you think I'm censored by posting in HN? Do you believe I'm a wumao? I'm here speaking out of my own free will. I'm in the US and I don't agree with a lot of what CCP has done, but in terms on NBA and Hong Kong i

But do you see how the protesters treated this old lady? Pointing lasers at her eyes. Giving her the Chinese flag to make her look pro China. You still only seem to see how frustrated this lady was being while ignoring the behaviors by the

One man? If you are just trying to sound dramatic, sure. However, I'd urge that you go and actually read more about how CCP works and the actual reaction of Chinese people on Weibo and other Chinese social media. The reaction to NBA an

Care to explain more about the "women are dead weight part"?

I think you are getting down voted because your reply is not relevant to the topic. Not because of other reasons.

Honestly, no one is going to care about either your or my comments about Chinese government on this niche forum. Think about it, what would Chinese government gain by arresting you? And why would they start looking at your comment history o

By no means is WeChat a shopping or payment monopoly. There's Taobao and Alipay by Alibaba. From what I know they are fairly even in terms of market share (payment). WeChat's shopping scene is mostly on a very small scale and pers

How does the fact you worked at those companies relate to #4? Edit: I misread the parent and my question doesn't make a lot of sense. Please ignore it :)

That's a good point. I should say I've only seen the "low quality" counterfeit money once. The one I saw had similar texture as real money, but the paper was either thinner or thicker than the real one. I can't reme

by kwizzt 7y ago
Of all the time I've lived in China, I probably have only seen counterfeit money once in my life. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?

by kwizzt 7y ago
I think he meant Alibaba owns Alipay, which is a competitor to WeChat's payment system.

I don't quite understand this sentiment. Maybe it's because I or the company I worked for haven't experienced this kind of situation. Can you shed some light on what big corps like AWS, Google, MSFT did to other people?
