A description of a phenomenon in state management software called the "Non-topological Update Ordering Problem".

This is a really cool idea, but it doesn't seem to work. I enunciated each of the tones, and the only one it recognized correctly was third tone.

He's saying they _can_. If you can make the case that foreign countries can influence elections via social media platforms, how much more then do the platforms themselves have infl…

> so you can begin a (regex) search with / and hit n to go to the next result or N to go back. His point of that being slower still stands. I also find that just googling generally…

I got the impression that he's spent a bit more than an afternoon.

I think it would be interesting if there were a Latin equivalent of Chinese characters. Different roots could be represented as different characters, some could be used for each of…

To be fair, you can also "come up with something" in Chinese. Since there aren't all that many sounds, you can write in generic characters for the sound of the word that you can't …

I did something like this a long time ago in a little competition for beating others' rock paper scissors programs, except I used the other players' moves relative to my own (e.g. …

I personally like the idea of tabs better, but prefer spaces because it makes navigating the text less awkward when traversing tabs. It may sound stupid, but for my own stuff it's …

> "Using pinyin as you suggest is actually hopelessly slow" Everyone I've encountered in China seems to do it just fine. It is only hopelessly slow if you type one character at a t…

There are also a lot of phrases that can be typed with just the first letter from each word, eg typing "bth" gives "不太好", "zmy" gives "怎么样", and there are endless more combinations…

I didn't even look at the levels when I came in September because everything looked fine, but lately it's varied a lot, between 100-350 the past few weeks.

The package says it blocks >=90%, which is still horrible for my health, but thankfully I'm leaving in less than 2 months. It certainly feels better though.

I'm studying abroad in Beijing right now, and my throat began to hurt even at lower levels of PM2.5 simply because I wasn't wearing a mask. I'm very surprised at the number of peop…

Emphasis on "implemented" haha. At least this makes it more open since someone can come in and make their own implementation. As it currently stands I don't think you can use Faceb…

It would be neat if Facebook had implemented JSX as a framework-independent transform rather than a React-only one, that way other frameworks could use the pretty XMLish syntax rat…

You're correct that there is probably more excitement for them then there ought to be, considering the simplicity of bash. People ought to create more programs following the UNIX p…

I drink milk in my tea a lot so I'd be fine with it haha

Glad to see this addressed CoffeeScript's silly issue of variable scope by just requiring a `var` statement like regular JS. Also, love the name :)

Reminded me of @horse_js posts on Twitter haha.

I remember trying this a while ago and being disappointed at the amount of dependency code brought in for a rather trivial function, but the modularization is looking much better t…
