For me, I would reduce the functionality to just one key: ESC. I always pressed ESC key mindlessly when thinking of the next thing to write. I pressed too many useless ESC like fidgeting. If I can offload it to the foot...

Sourcetrail?

I highly recommend this book. The chapters were "bite sized". Compared with the dinosaur book, it was easier to finish one chapter after I started on it. The chapters on concurrency made me cry with "so this is how XXX works" a lot. I also found the references near the end of each chapter were full of gems.

I self-taught CS, so not surprisingly there were lots of "void" and "dots" in my knowledge space. This book connected lots of dots together.

This is just wishful thinking in the current situation. Don’t expect Chinese government to reverse what it has been doing for years in this political shitshow. Chinese living in US are unfortunately sandwiched in the between and helpless.

Well said

Jim Keller once said randomness was baked in the modern computer chip design. The execution routes were almost always different even if you ran the same deterministic code for multiple times. But in the end you got the same result almost every single time (“almost” has many 9s after the decimal point). But this layer of operations has been abstracted away from most of us. So don’t feel too sad... maybe the world has been like this for a long time

Can you give reference that AWS was after car selling business? I only know there was AWS engineering platforms for automotive industry.

Why might doing this to a Chinese firm feel justified? (I understand this question doesn’t matter to Trump’s true believers.) Finding the vaccine had better to be international teamwork. China is the ground zero in this pandemic. It has a lot offer and lose. I would argue China is a big ally in this case.

> I see “no backups” as a feature

I will appreciate the “backup” feature. You don’t have to use it but users are better off to have such an option after understanding the risks.

I second this. I like Signal and appreciate all the efforts people put in. But I don’t really care how Signal added cute stickers or optimized image showing. I just need a privacy app and keep my data. The only reason I didn’t recommend Signal to my non-tech friends was not being able to migrate/export chat history on iOS. This seems to be such a basic (not necessarily easy) thing to do but they just didn’t do it.

I second that. A few years ago, I began reading the first book of the trilogy after lunch to kill time, and got so bored and nearly gave up nearly 1/3 ~ 1/2. And then suddenly the idea became clear. I couldn't put it down and skip the dinner to finished it.

And the second and third books got even better. Especially the third one was mind-blowing beyond description at that time for me. I was sad when I finished them all because I didn't know when I would have a similar experience on another book/series.

The article has already said it. It was not the millennials supported the government 100%. Many of them were just indifferent to politics.
