I don't disagree with you on the conclusion, but man I just wish people stopped believing in fairy tales about countries like this. America does it too. Why are people so allergic to materialism? I'm not saying culture is irrelevant but saying china's success is due to "Chinese way of thinking" or america was dominant because of the "american dream" is an adult believing santa-tier take.

Material conditions shape history

Well if you have pay attention this user you would realize he is a very classic example of an educated and proud Chinese. No offense but an unusual amount of Chinese uniformly think and talk like that thanks to the education.

> To make the website more readable, we’ll limit the content width

Please don't do this. Despite what usability studies say, I prefer wide content over scrolling every few seconds and having to make my eyes follow the moving text. I, the user, can already control the content width by resizing my browser, thank you very much.

No. No no no. I browse hundreds even thousands of pages every singe days, and I either just close such sites or go the extra mile to write custom css for them when they are disgustingly wide.

I wish you success! And hopefully you don't end up disappearing like SpatialOS. They tried very hard promoting its capacity for large scale MMO, even published a game (Scavenger IIRC?) made with it.

There are Chinese patents on "A Drag-Type Submarine Cable Cutting Device and Its Cable Cutting Method" and "A Deep-Sea Optical Cable Submarine Shearing and Salvaging Device"

3371 commented on Elffont: A "Chinese Elvish" Font   github.com/justfont/Elffo... · Posted by u/3371

In 2021, a Chinese MMO 天諭 (Revelation Online) introduces an "Elvish" in the game as the language of elves[1].

People later discovered that the "language" was actually not a newly constructed language but Chinese in plain Bopomofo (Mandarin Phonetic Symbols).

It is said a Taiwanese member in the development team came up with the idea. The difference of transliteration system between China and Taiwan made it a viable and interesting idea.

As the main remaining user of Bopomofo, many Taiwanese found it amusing thus it went viral and became a meme in Taiwanese internet culture.

Today, justfont, a type design studio in Taiwan, took on the meme and released Elffont, a Bopomofo font which turns Bopomofo symbols into fancy Elvish characters.

This font is free to use without further notice, and can be used for commercial applications. The font itself can not be modified, sold or re-released.

Everyone is talking about Google breaking something, but what if this is something Firefox has to fix? If it works in Chrome and not Firefox, it should be a browser bug, not website bug.

Because it did not happen after a Firefox update?
3371 commented on Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have worked on?    · Posted by u/panqueca

I was working in a a 2-3 men group, which the manager of the tram directly reports to the big boss for the company.

The so called "tech dev team" are responsible for all sorts of tasks, for example exploring new tech, prototyping, supporting product team with optimization or content production.

We had been supporting system design and development in a new Unity (game) project for half a year, things were fine, and then the project got frozen/archived/cancelled.

And the reason was simple, our big boss wanted to svalr new heights! Something just like the one he made ~20 years ago and still feeding the company. He wanted to concentrate resources on this new ambitious project of his.

So that was it, the end of a 10+ men project, we got assigned to different task then. And then again. Then again.

Sometimes we just experiented techs. Sometimes we worked on projects that is not promising at all from our view. Sometimes we took over a good project and altered it into a abomination.

As my first job in my career, I'd say it certainly harmed my passion. I really really hope I can works on something poilsitively meaningful and impactful/useful to the world or even just certain audience.

I am probably only qualified as junior go/.net developer, but if there's such opportunity please let me know.
