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 0…

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 rare…

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 …

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…

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…

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 …

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 la…

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…

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 …

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 …

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 t…

It does demystify it when you show the steps to create an virtual env by hand. Very helpful.

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 s…

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 tech…

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.

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…

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 ear…

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 …

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 2…

The part about JD.com's business and ground level operations are very informative and interesting to read, props to the author. But on the other hand, details of personal stories o…
