Really hope there are svg version of these icons.

It's just a funny way to say. You're killing the humor here.

I keep hearing people saying it's wrong that China bans Google and Facebook. But why it's OK for India to ban Chinese apps? What is the difference here?

Wait a minute. What about China banning Facebook and Google? I mean Chinese government may be evil, but let's not keep double standards here.

> It was then modified to do it's own DNS resolution and caching, fond memories...

Unlike other languages, Go bypasses system's DNS cache, and goes directly to the DNS server, which is a root cause of many problems.

Interesting. In China, TikTok(Douyin) is actually more popular in big cities, and Kuaishou is more popular in smaller towns.

Actually, I think K8S is much simpler to operate than nomad.

With nomad, you have too many options, you can run your service/job as a process or within containers, but with Kubernetes, there is only one way to do things -- container, which is really a simple choice to make.

Besides, Kubernetes got etcd builtin, so I don't have to use deploy and maintain consul.

Last but not least, I still see containers mysteriously gone, and have no idea how nomad did that. With kubernetes, such thing never happened.

This eink display[1] from taobao is 7.5" and 800x480 resolution with a price of CNY 375(USD 53.67).

If you were not implying that the Chinese government has handled the ASF badly, your question should be: "How do you feel about the action the government takes?", instead of asking if the OP supports the government.

The Chinese government maybe evil, but it's NOT stupid and they do not hate piggies. Besides, you can say that pork is the most popular meat supply in China, but it's not like that the Chinese would die without pork, chickens and beef are both fine protein supplies. Please don't attach everything that happened in China to politics.

Maybe he could make Python fast once and for all :p

Actually, Python is compiled to its bytecode and then interpreted by the Python VM, which is also how Java works. Python is slow because the lack of funds and people's focus, just take look at how fast JavaScript(V8) is nowadays.

Mypy is way more limited than TypeScript.

Please do not use `pipenv`, use `poetry` or plain old `pip` instead.

There's a lot of search engines before Google, maybe you could offer a better service than the existing ones?

I don't think that would be a significant difference here.

Can we stop submitting political links to hacker news?

This is what the west is doing to China now.

996.

My last employer was ByteDance, the creator or TikTok and Toutiao. Actually, the situation was a little better than 996, we call it "big small week", we work one more day per two weeks, not each week.

It's funny to say PayPal didn't buy WeChat Pay.

I stopped trusting any New York Times article since the report of Lanxiang[1], which became a popular meme on Chinese social networks.

Go can not be simple, because software itself is a complex beast, language really does not matter.

One thing that gophers say a lot is the count of Go's keywords is minimal. This is true literally, only 25 keywords as of Go 1.13. But it does not reduce the complexity of writing code, it just hides them.

For example, Go does not have the `new` keyword, but it has `make` function, which is so powerful that one of my friends actually thought `make` was a keyword of Go.

> Plus they are a Shanghai-based company and can be compelled by the Chinese government to place hardware back doors.

Plus Broadcom is a US-based company and can be compelled by the US government to place hardware back doors.

Did you remember Galaxy Note 7? That's the magic sauce.

Speaking of documentaries, I would recommend BBC's The People's Republic of Capitalism [1].

It could be true.

The Publicity Department of CCP or its branches did issue files like this one in the past. However, posts on this site are all blindly anti-CCP, which make me doubt the legitimacy of this file. Also, there is a mistake in this file, 三(three) was used twice.

Thanks, books added to my reading list.

I'm not saying that the Chinese government is a good government. But a slaving government IS better than warlords. And historically speaking, the current government did unify China in 1949, which is a very important thing in Chinese culture.

If we were to overthrow the Chinese government, can we get a better tomorrow for the Chinese people? The west have show us what happened in Middle East. Clearly, wars are not what we want.

I'm saying that we want democracy, we do want that, but blaming it all to "the evil communist party" is not a good way show us how to get a democracy, please provide some practical guidance. Thanks.

Native Chinese here. Hacker news have been a great place to learn new things to me for 5 years. But the political views on Hacker news are somewhat naive to me. It seems that the Chinese Government is always evil and wrong, but why haven't the government collapsed after so many years if there were no people supporting them?

People in China, at least those millions people who are able to cross the Great Firewall, know that democracy is generally good, but they also know that a strong central government can also be useful for certain circumstances. Most westerners and HongKongers on Hacker news have a very extreme political view, you just believe "democracy is good"(TM), protesting against the evil Chinese government is good. But can you take a closer look at what is really happening in HK and then decide what you believe?

BTW, I'm neither pro-protester nor pro-police, I think the protest is a result of economic regression in HK. You could also check my comment and posting history to see that I'm not a 五毛党.

Things are a little different here in China. The government just published a law that if you scraping traffic is more the one third of the total traffic of a website, it is considered illegal.
