That's a fair question. I'll let you know if I find out ;)

My hunch is that it could scale well, but would require some integration work in order to use it nicely with existing orchestration tools. I don't know exactly what that would look like, or if it would be worth the effort of going off the beaten track.
iirc, the goal was to minimize memory compaction within the framework in order to boost the number of concurrent requests and speed at which one can address them. This might have reflected in some slightly un-pythonic design choices in order to avoid string literals in the framework code, etc.

Django/Flask are written for the programmer. I think Falcon is, to a degree, written for the machine (although if you're a systems programmer you may snark at this).
This doesnt even begin to address the countless ways in which messages on the laptop falls out of sync with the messages on my iphone sitting next to the laptop. Im not even talking about 2 second delays, Im talking about 10-15 minutes of the laptop not getting the message.

Similar annoyances exist with receiving calls on the laptop. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

The troubling thing for me is that these arent some esoteric features, these are the features that they choose to highlight so I presume a higher bar for them.
Perhaps the downvotes were because your comment had little to do with the article in particular, or the larger issue of prison reform in general.
For middle school I'm sure Lockhart would love Gelfand's books: http://gcpm.rutgers.edu/books.html

At undergrad level, I love Axler but I haven't found a similar calculus book.
to be fair, you could have achieved all that with a simple python script. sometimes i feel python is the new bash.
Yeah, sadly it works too.
Even if you don't keep them in your contacts, the connection tracking can be problematic if they keep you in their contacts.

"But what if you didn’t give Clubhouse access to your contacts, specifically because you didn’t want all or any of them to know you were there? I regret to inform you that Clubhouse has made it possible for them to know anyway, encourages them to follow you, and there isn’t much you can do about it... I got followers who weren’t in my contacts at all — but I was in theirs."

Are you writing that to emphasize the urgency for the government to pass legislation to reign in unregulated online casinos as they continue refining their dark patterns? (I.e., without legislation, these companies will continue finding more and more sophisticated ways to get the user to act against their own interest.)

Or do you mean imply that a practical approach to reign in unregulated online casinos is to spread the message of, "Just Say No," in web forum comments to the ostensible addicts?

Or to be fair, something else entirely? My point is I can't tell without context there whether you are sympathizing with the user ("ah yes, something needs to be done because they've found your weak spot"), or chastising them for not having the force of will to resist dark patterns.

Edit: clarification
More visible to whom? To the well-functioning state? I don't follow. The whole premise of anarchism is that a truly free society is one without a state. The presumed benefit of the kind of visibility you're talking about also rests on the assumption that the state is aligned with the interests of the wider population, whereas anarchism proposes that the state is fundamentally misaligned with collective and personal freedom.

Maybe your point is that because crypto-anarchism appears to rest on this state-friendly assumption, it isn't "real" anarchism. I don't know too much about crypto-anarchism and haven't formed an opinion either way, but if it's as cozy with anarcho-capitalism as the quotes at the end make it out to be, I'd probably agree with you.

Thanks for sharing this.

I have similar feelings about the product, but am curious to hear your reasons in detail first if you'll share them.
If using the [c] flag and you want to interrupt it, a convenient way of continuing where you left off (and not touching previous lines, which may have new matches, depending on the nature of the replacement) may be :.,$&&<Enter>, which means “operating on the range current line (.) to end of file ($), execute the last substitution (&) with the same flags as last time (&)”.

(This is very unlikely to interest you, but I mention it for the sake of others. I’ve commonly seen people not really know about ranges especially, never stopping and thinking about what the % means (see `:help :%` if you don’t know), beyond possibly having encountered '<,'> by accident when pressing : in Visual mode (for explanation of these, see the help for :', '< and '>).)
> money

With built in and inevitable deflation. Bitcoin could never replace a national currency.

With transaction times in the tens of minutes and with a maximal global transaction rate of 5-10 per second. The Blockchain couldn't replace the banking system of single mid-sized town.

It's not money. It's at best "digital gold", but more realistically it's just a ponzi scheme.
There are thousands of companies like ZoomInfo. They all trade csvs of data of dubious origins, mash and resell it to the highest bidder. There is a tranche of these companies who build algorithms to do fuzzy linking between huge datasets, including sources like data breaches (where name/address info is included).

There are conferences. Much of the data can be obtained as Salesforce "apps" - connect your CRM to our massive data portal and we'll fill in information that you don't have. The biggest of these is owned by SF and called Data.com.

Not to hand waive away anyone's pre-baked hatred of Google/FB/etc., but there is an actual data industry that does buy and sell your data, with no controls over it and what it can be used for. By comparison, FB and Google are much better stewards.

What are you trying to say?

That because they have a lot of VC money riding on it, they have to do "growth hacking" in order to justify the funds and grow quickly enough to satisfy the investors?

Well, I guess I have to agree.
I think the biggest difference/problem is that these people are still alive in many cases, whereas the authors of historical letters are not. This is a big difference, I think.
In terms of Black/white, the tipping point from “good faith” to “performative” was this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/14/arts/television/lupin-net...

It’s a good article, and largely innocuous, and it uses “Black” to describe a (fictional) French man in France.
Lawyers don't accept plea deals. Clients accept plea deals.

Lawyers are required by professional ethics (and possibly by law in some places) to present plea deals to their clients. Having it be otherwise would be problematic.
A more likely outcome would be a doubling or tripling down on the legal threats to the defendant. It’s not the public defender’s call to make, and prosecutors are already pretty good at scaring the shit out of the defendants.
In the end they’ll no longer be living on the governments dime. Seems like a happy ending after all.
This seems like one to downvote
It means Griffin is going to read a final Yahoo.
Can you point us to a comparative review of appimage, snap, and flatpak? Clearly there are many apple-to-orange tradeoffs, leaving package naifs like me a bit baffled.
The electorate would likely demand the immediate sacking of the chief public defender.

First, i dont think its exact time. And, second if it was, imho why would anyone wait for 6mins?? Have the prisoner drink every second!!
This has happened to me, as well. My cellphone number previously belonged to someone who owes lots of money to many people.

If I have the time, I make it a game, and see how long I can keep the debt collector on the phone, simply by making various grunting noises w/out any actual speech.

These are not nice people.
If the company is worth 750k and he's putting in 250k he should only get a quarter of it, since it will then be worth 1m.

I'm not sure I'd call this "hacking" (I expected a bed to be pulled apart and turned into something else). This is a fun idea, but it's simply "decorating".
We can use a ZFS storage system to make the moons of Saturn inhabitable. That's Sealand taken to a whole new level.

The network latencies are terrible, however.
Yes, but it would not be anywhere near as lucrative as selling a prepackaged turnkey “good-enough” solution to the masses - where the profits from the vendor lock-in allow you to mount a solid marketing campaign to drive sales and eventual regulatory-capture, allowing you to act in an anti-competitive manner.

We, the geeks, may value open-platforms, but observe that it’s Google, Apple, Samsung and Amazon that effectively control consumer home-automation and smart appliances - and they sure as heck aren’t interested in making their platforms open and interoperable. (I’m speaking as a Nest customer who got screwed-over by Google closing Nest’s open API - that was a blatant anti-competitive move).
Bullshit. Energy wasted is energy wasted. It could have done something usefull, but instead it got sunk into a pow. Given miners run 24/7 and have no load following makes things worse. The existing financial infrastructure is also usable, at scale, in sharp contrast to bitcoin.

See, I like the idea of a "amazon for drugs", but bitcoins cost is just not worth it.

Disclosure: Adopted bitcoin 0.2, make money with it.

> That'd be quibbling over a few hours per year

From your own source:

99% ("two nines") - Per Day - 14.40 minutes

99.9% ("three nines") - Per Day - 1.44 minutes

If you do multiple transfers per day, the difference is non negligible. Especially if you rely on it for critical transfers.

> No system can be expected to deliver 100% uptime.

Of course not, hence we're talking about the amount of nines, not if the uptime is perfect.

> Anyone who was waiting to close based on a wire was told to just reschedule for tomorrow.

Indeed, doesn't that suck? Why can't it finish in at least hours if not minutes?
A tomahawk cruise missile isn't too far off from a one-shot fighter jet when it comes to attacking fixed, or very slow-moving targets. They also don't need a human pilot, which cost an extraordinary amount of money to train, way more than their salary.

China has already developed what is effectively an ICBM designed to sink/punch through warships from above.
You're an exception. In developed countries for sure most companies don't give out raises higher than a few percentage points, and definitely not constantly 8%. For reference, at your current rate in 10 years you're doubling your salary.

In developing countries your story is a bit more common but even there you can accelerate things by switching companies once every few years (somewhere between 3-5). After a while you probably want to stay put to get promotions.
Hi! I have some statements and one question. I love seeing women making their way into the field of technology and I truly wish you the best of luck. I have two daughters who are interested in computer science and engineering, and my oldest will be attending University this fall after being accepted at age 16. She has had to fight for things which would have been, in my opinion, granted without thought if she were male.

Thank you for being awesome! The world is already a better place with you in it!

As for my question, a friend of mine from Palestine told me that if I ever make it to Palestine that I must try ice cream from Rukab's Ice Cream. I've never made it there, and I'm not sure that I ever will. Have you eaten this? How does it compare to the ice cream in Europe?
Ill never stop laughing at the virtue signaling. Stop rendering videos if you want to save the planet.
No, ripping DVDs isn't mainstream because it:

1) takes forever, and a powerful computer (particularly a handful of years ago)

2) takes a lot of space

3) until recently has provided little of the value ripping CDs does (no "mp3 players" for movies)

4) is a nontrivial task for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with DRM (which codec do you use? which container? what size to you transcode it to?, etc)

Intentional errors don't cause even a hiccup in any of the ripping programs I've seen or used, the end user doesn't have to worry about it in the slightest.

Oh, and they press CDs with intentional errors these days too, so your theory really is bogus.
Pardon my ignorance, but is it ok to use images that you do not own the rights to for this?
Did this part strike anyone else as strange, given he was dealing with a start-up?

When I went to pick up my check, the CTO said the company liked what I did so much they were giving me an extra 500 bucks just to say thanks.
that's not what stop words are. Search on google for a definition.
Congrats Seb, Solomon, and the rest of the Dotcloudees!
I completely disagree. When code changes rapidly, and especially when multiple people are working on the same code, documentation which explains the "why" of the code is very valuable. Without it, you're left trying to figure out if some piece of code is really necessary, or still necessary. If you're lucky you can rum 'blame' and figure out who wrote the bit in question and go talk with them about it. If you're unlucky, they don't work there any more. Either way, it's more time consuming that reading a good code comment about why something is being done.

Is there a cost to writing good comments? Yes. Does it take discipline to keep them up-to-date and accurate? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes.
thats actually not what separation of church and state refers to. What it means is that no church is suppose to run the government, voters are allowed (and suppose to) vote according to their beliefs, including religion. And religions are allowed to have a stance on issues.

The rest sure, you can interpret it that way, but most mormons are very nice people. They don't take the scripture literally and is instead suppose to be symbolisms.

Actually only in the very beginning of the Book of Mormon is the dark skin used to identify "sinners". Later on, as in past the first 50 pages, skin color was a non-issue.

And finally, women can get past their 20s and be perfectly fine people. They can never marry and be normal people. LDS people do put a strong emphasis, if possible, on a traditional "stay home mom and working father", but that is not sexism.
5. Better Software

This is a highly dubious claim. First off the commercial software industry would just migrate to Linux, just like it does any high volume platform it can make money off of.

Secondly, and this opinion might not be popular but... I for one have yet to be convinced that open source software is "better" quality wise by definition. Yes much of it is as good as commercial products, much of it isn't. I still feel that a controlled, well selected development team working in a proper environment that encourages good communication will be more productive than a loosely tied group effort. The latter often suffers from a lack of clear goals and direction, sadly. Not that it CAN'T be done, but I'm not yet convinced it's a given that open source = better quality by default. Either side of the coin can produce quality, and crap. :)

Just my 2c.
I know a lot of women in tech and virtually all of them have either been groped or known a friend who was groped.

It can be interesting to poll your own network, although guys often have to get to a fairly deep level of trust before women will discuss it with them.
This "press effort"? The HN post is for an article in Time's Techland blog.
One thing I've found painfully missing, as an app developer, is any sort of analytics around the purchase flow of apps in the App Store.

For example, I have no idea how many people visited my app page from their iPhone, from the web deep link, from iTunes and I don't know what % convert. As such, I can't do any A/B testing on images/text content/price, etc (actually I could but it be indirect) on the actual purchase pages.
>Why is Bitcoin a good currency again?

It isn't, but almost anything can work if the community of users is small enough. As for why it isn't, we need to step back a bit.

In a barter economy an exchange occurs when two individuals each produce something which takes time/labor/capital and which the other person values more than what they're giving up. For example, if I grow an apple, and you grow an orange, and we trade, it is clear[1] that I value the orange more than the apple, and you value the apple more than the orange (otherwise we wouldn't have made the exchange). The value of those items is individually subjective[2], and the supply of those items is constrained by market forces (e.g., alternate uses of time, labor, and capital).

A money economy emerges from a barter economy when individuals accept in exchange something they do not want for itself, but with the anticipation that they can use it for some future exchange. It is critical that the commodity in question be desirable eventually. If no one ever wants it, then it wouldn't emerge as money. (Important Aside: once a commodity begins to function as money, part of the demand for the commodity will be as money, thus there is positive feedback loop, but some non-money demand needs to exist to get the process running. This is why all functioning fiat currencies have their roots in a commodity money.)

It's important to notice that commodity money has some inherent constraint on its creation (i.e., its supply curve is bounded by market forces), and that it satisfies the wants of others (i.e., there exists some demand curve). For example, the gold supply is constrained by the cost of mining/processing new gold, and the demand affected by its consumption into produced goods and demand to hold "cash balances" of gold.

So far as I can tell, bitcoin is a scheme whose total supply is constrained only by an exogenous, artificial limit of 21M coins, and not by the demand for alternative uses of its factors of production[3]. There can be, at most, a marginal value[4] equal to the marginal cost of producing a coin, which appears to be nothing but otherwise-idle computer time and some electricity.

But far more importantly, this is a scheme whereby artificial scarcity is created (e.g., it takes n hours to produce a coin) but no thing of value is produced. This would be akin to inventing a system of money involving sticks whittled into perfect cylinders. Sure it might take a long time to create one, and it might consume resources, but if the end result doesn't have any value to anyone, it isn't money, it's just waste.

From TFA I linked -

Jikes RVM is unique in that it is the first self-bootstrapped virtual machine written entirely in the Java programming language, i.e., its Java code runs on itself, without requiring a second virtual machine.
there is ONLY one money-printing machine in USA, it is a privately owned entity called "Federal Reserve", dont get fooled by "Federal" in the name (Federal Express is private company).

everyone else coming up with more or less sophisticated machine to print money, or exchange money, or any form of transaction that Federal Government is unable to track/monitor/accept or deny WILL get hurt very badly. It is just a matter how popular your machine is and how much traction it is getting. But rest assured, once you turn it on, you have your own chart in the FBI system.
$99 seems pretty steep (for a beginner). Any alternatives?
Huh, apparently I know JavaScript. I didn't think I did.
AFAICS, the benefit to being in a mining pool is you can make some bitcoins immediately, rather than waiting for a big, rare payout. There's no increased probability of winning due to pooling resources is there?
Thanks to all for the feedback, i make a note of your suggestions.
It's okay, I lose a lot of people. But I'm getting well when doctors say it can't be done, so I'm pretty confident of a lot of my observations, the rest of the world's disbelief not withstanding.

Peace.
The problem is when you want to base the "value" part of any of these key/value pairs off some other value, you can't compute any new value - and you wind up duplicating variables in the configuration files (or worse, over several configuration files). This leads to someone inventing a new configuration-to-configuration converter to do what could be done in a macro.

Key/Value pairs work in a rather limited portion of software, but most configuration formats are calling out for the ability to compute. Because they rarely work in practice, everyone forks the format to add their pet features, until some committee comes along and suggests "I know, I'll add all of your pet features into a universal format" - this thinking brought us to XML. Yaml, JSON and name-your-shitty-markup are continuations of this absurd line of thinking.

When TS says Lisp, he doesn't necessarily mean "configure the world in common lisp", but he's talking about S-expressions - which are a 'universal' way of encoding trees as text (without the element/attribute ambiguity), which you can chose to either treat as data or as code. The in memory representation of parsed s-expressions is equivalent to their textual representation (homoiconicity), which means that you can write code to operate on these structures using only the knowledge of the text layout, and not some extra knowledge your programming language might use for encoding it (ie, objects).

A configuration format using S-expressions need not be turing complete, as you can specify what should be data and what wants evaluating as code, if anything. You can place limits on what you want to be able to compute, by validating the input before evaluating it. As others have stated, the focus of configuration formats needs shifting from "syntactic flavor of the year" to proper validation of input. And the quickest path to validation of input is one where the parsing is automated - because Lisp does it for you.
