It’s funny you say that. China disallowed their citizens from using western vaccines including Pfizer, Moderna and Astra Zeneca. Chinese citizens were only allowed to receive Chinese made vaccines. For all we know, they needed their lockdowns until so late because their own vaccines lacked efficacy in baseline protection.
Where I've had pain specifically with Thai is that I can't even know where a syllable begins and ends until I read a few "syllables" together and decide whether some vowels go with the consonant in front or behind it, and whether some an -ar should be pronounced as an -aan.
> Same with Chinese language, thus lexing and parsing requires knowing many more words than in languages with spaces between words.
In English, can you get away with knowing the meaning of "good" and "morning" and not "good morning", and know that I'm greeting you instead of commenting on the quality of this morning?
Lexing is very clear in Chinese. It's never the case that you look at a Chinese sentence and don't know where a character ends and another begins. Take this sentence in both languages: "good morning, how are you"
早安，你好吗
This sentence clearly has "spaces" and I'm pretty sure any person illiterate in Chinese could tell you there are 5 characters / words. Technically the third character is composed of 人 and 尔 but I don't know that anyone, even kids or beginners, would mistake those as _not_ going together.
สวัสดีตอนเช้าคุณเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง
In contrast, Thai is as you say: lexing and parsing bleed together. There are 7 words in this sentence, but you need to lex the 10 syllables and run them through your mental dictionary to recognize the possible words they could be. My Thai is very limited, but there are examples of sentences out there that actually have multiple valid readings with different semantic meanings, depending on how you group sounds together.
> The “this can be typed, this can’t” approach would most probably lead to a schism unseen before: splitting of the community into those who prefer type-annotated code and consequently became reluctant to any of the most expressive and dynamic features—and everyone else.
I'm an active user of Sorbet at work, and I can see this happening even with my own opinions. On the one hand, I don't want to see the Ruby ecosystem fractured more, but on the other, I've seen clear benefits from helping add static typing to my team's project. I didn't really know much about Steep at the time, so I pushed for Sorbet. My first preference was actually Ruby 3 types, but when I looked into implementing them, I found they provided much weaker guarantees than Sorbet. The tooling also wasn't there.
Are you saying this in the context of static analysis or runtime analysis? I’m pretty sure Sorbet does not need to eval files for static analysis.
> Ok I'm going overboard (maybe?)
You are going overboard. I like both TS and Sorbet. Neither type system will protect you from running malicious code on your computer.
In 2009 and 2021, the USD’s “board and leadership” has shown it’s willing to massively inflate its existing liabilities to help it solve its severe problems.
It’s very questionable why any country with large trade surpluses would want to hold US treasuries at this point. That’s precisely why China has brokered energy deals denominated in RMB, and BRICS is exploring a basket of their currencies to act as a new reserve.
I’m guessing this might be a temperature dependent issue. I enjoy using a cast iron to brown meats, but I really dial it back in homes without true range hoods (e.g. they vent back indoors). If I go for maybe 25% browning, I can massively reduce the smoke. It feels a shame to not do a steak to perfection, but when I’ll prefer that to venting the whole place for an hour.

They also might be pulling a Tumblr. I really hope they don't.
> For NSFW content, they were not 100% sure of the answer, but thought that it would no longer be possible to access via the API, I asked how they balance this with plans for the API to be more equitable with the official app, and there was not really an answer but they did say they would look into it more and follow back up. I would like to follow up more about this, especially around content hosting on other websites that is posted to Reddit, as well as different types of NSFW content (a text post marked NSFW due to a gory moment in a story, for instance).
> First, here's a general rule of thumb: You can't use lenses and mirrors to make something hotter than the surface of the light source itself. In other words, you can't use sunlight to make something hotter than the surface of the Sun.

> The Sun is about 5,000°C, so our rule says you can't focus sunlight with lenses and mirrors to get something any hotter than 5,000°C. The Moon's sunlit surface is a little over 100°C, so you can't focus moonlight to make something hotter than about 100°C.

> What was initially thought to be a market-triggered event turned out to be a clear case of fraud, with former CEO Kwon at the epicenter. According to on-chain data, In the 3 weeks leading up to the depeg of the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin, one entity dumped over $450 million of UST on the open market. Four days after the last sale, UST started collapsing. The entity behind the massive dump was none other than Terraform Labs.
