the thing is, people in West actually value their privacy sort off, while people in China are not even offered this option at table, so you end up with one gov approved app which they are monitoring and censoring

I think the nuances of the offering are not entirely clear from the marketing website, so here's what I've interpreted.

The product itself seems to be a Node.js framework that glues together various modules, including popular ones such as Express, Mongoose, & Socket.io. How they monetize it is via consulting and hosting, which they offer a fixed price for "unlimited" bandwidth and storage (very unclear how they may throttle this). The pricing is also exceptionally poor, a fast HTTP implementation may respond to 250k requests per second vs a month, and 5 GB of storage for $50 a month...

They seem to not have any sort of release strategy and the readme states to clone their repository. It would require pulling from their repo to update it as a dependency. There are also absolutely no tests, so you don't know if the latest commit is working or contains some work in progress or not. The signup process seems to be needlessly difficult, one needs to manually craft an HTTP request to some endpoint with some payload.

The "AI to build exceptional apps" pitch is vague. I can think of some possible cases such as automatic indexing based on querying patterns, but this is just speculative. I wouldn't trust it unless I know what it does.
I'm still waiting for Python 3.11 for Workgroups.
It's not Moxie doing that, it's virtually the entire community of cryptographic engineers. And Open Whisper Systems is a grant-funded nonprofit that until recently could so barely afford developers they were considering withdrawing their iOS version, so the idea that this is all about Moxie's business interests is horseshit.

That's pretty much true of any django release... you can stay on it if you so choose to. It will get security updates/bug fixes for a bit and then they will stop coming. You're free to stay where you are if you want.

It turns out that most developers have a desire to move to the next version if it's not too hard. There's still COBOL programmers out there too and that's perfectly fine.

Django has made the process as smooth as it can be. You can upgrade to python3 while maintaining your Django version. Then update to the next Django version as a separate step. It's fine to have waited until now. You can keep waiting if you want but it's getting to the point where you should really just do it. It's not so bad.

We switched and python2 --> python3 was bumpier and more work than most Django updates we've done (we've done pretty much every one since 1.0) but it was still entirely reasonable. We're much happier now.
Have you tried python3-pykde4? It seems to contain a pykdeuic4.py file.

>Has no one tried it yet or are Western users somehow hostile to these kind of apps?

WeChat is majorly filled with bot accounts which do most of the stuff. And the webpages/requests are loaded to either fill the message box or load a webpage within the app to conclude the request.

As most of it is kind of local (banks, home security, grocery, etc) the bots are mostly locally available and so they haven't really flourished or even made for outside China.

A really better article to understand what WeChat provides was on the VC Andreessen Horowitz blog[1].

People seem to be very much hating how hostile it looks and feel but China's internet is a walled garden, WeChat falls perfectly inside the firewall to provide everything within the app. And that is the reason why such chat app won't work anywhere is because the world. We have access to internet and its apps completely, we have the power to choose whichever app we like unlike for China's user base which has been living with the habit to only look for apps and services which the government approves.

The article really is trying to convey that how WeChat has become the onestop for everything in China, which gives them that much reason to launch a OS around WeChat and not care about the other App Stores.

While each ticket has a fair chance there isn't a 1:1 relationship between tickets and people. I think what's being asked is whether we should correct the outcomes of lotteries in response to opportunity inequality: force a 1:1 relationship.

While road funding may be distributed based on usage data after the fact or density projection before construction, should we throttle traffic flow so that roads wear evenly?

But should a murderer go free? And what of the scenarios where a given minority group collectively _does_ commit more crimes? It may in fact be nurture not nature (although it doesn't really matter) that yields such an outcome yet we would ignore such behavior because it feels overbearing to subject the group to "more" scrutiny relative to other groups that requires less.

I think the point is that it is confusing to entertain such diversity policy when applied outside of a socially hot topic such as the tech labor market. But also a challenge to find a scenario where equality of outcome is objectively desirable and draw parallels.
Speak for yourself, Chromecast is very useful. Though obviously you should be able to turn it off.
People here are probably on the cautious side of centralising all of their online identities and activities into one app. Our privacy is under enough threat as it is.

Besides, I don't want to migrate everything I do online to a smartphone (it would have to be Android or IOS then, because that's all they support of course — vendor lock-in is not so great for innovation) or a sanctioned PC OS. In fact, most of the time I don't even want to run some service's software, except for those that run in the sandbox that is my web browser (i.e., websites and web applications).

Actually, all things considered we already have that one app that does it all; the web browser.

Whether it was intended or not, OP was dog-whistling the genetics argument, which I do not buy.
If you're referring to the shark in the news article, her offspring are not genetic clones.

"In sharks, asexual reproduction can occur when a female’s egg is fertilised by an adjacent cell known as a polar body, Dudgeon says. This also contains the female’s genetic material, leading to “extreme inbreeding”, she says."

Which is odd because genetic clones would be far healthier than the inbred offspring from above.
I don't mind the artwork (and actually like it), but I think the real issue is the text:

Use Pyrapid Like a Pro

"Like a pro(fessional)" implies that you, the target audience, are not "professionals". However, if you use it in the corporate world, you do use it as a professional.

This makes it sound like an advanced toy rather than a bullet-proof work of engineering you can rely on. Which is really a pity, because Pyramid _is_ a framework you can rely on.

True. But that only describe the private actors in an economy. In the same way that money come from the state it can disappear there.

If you want to be backwards compatible, then you "simply" do not introduce such changes, there's no "how", you don't.

A platform that works hard to be backwards compatible does only additions and extensions, and keeps maintaining the old API as well so that old apps run without changes; possibly keeping around multiple depreciated ways to do the same thing (e.g. as win32 does).

It is debatable whether backwards compatibility is worth that cost (and it often isn't), but it's certainly a choice.

I used to do this, a Netflix account is global. Meaning that the selection you get is based on where you currently are, this is great for when you're traveling.

Netflix has however been blocking every VPN under the sun. You can try your luck and get a VPN with a static IP that's just for you... But they seem to have started blocking these too.

Furthermore people don't mind paying for Netflix since you get a ton of value from it. When you add in the cost of a vpn + static IP from that VPN provider you've more than doubled it.

I cancelled my subscription when I couldn't hop to different countries and could only use the Belgian selection. I just went back to doing what I did before I got Netflix.

>If you cannot trust Google to provide a "non-evil" Google play services, why the flying fuck do you think the Google-provided (or manufacturer-under-tight-google-control-provided) OS is fine?

Because the likelihood of an a-priori exploit hidden in AOSP is far more remote than the possibility of malicious exploitation, at some point in the future, of the gaping wide security hole that is the "give Google root" subsystem.

>Now, if you are security conscious and willing to let go of the conveniences of selling your soul to Google, you would be running a non-Google'd version of Android without Google services. Your only valid complaint in this case, is that Signal depends on Google services to operate, which makes you unable to use it (without hacking Google back into your Android version, but if you do that you might just as well stick to a Google version).

Yup. And that's unacceptable. You can't really claim to be security conscious if your product comes with the stipulation that you give a megacorp root on your computer, can you?

You were both at the same org level but you were the more senior developer and mentored them?

Did you previously let your boss know you wanted to move into management?

Do you have significant experience remotely managing an on-site team?

Since it is a small startup I'm going to assume "manager" encompasses a large number of different roles. In these kinds of situations I'd pick the employee with domain knowledge every time! It is critical for setting direction, analysing project requirements, dealing with other teams, dealing with customers, etc.

Are they good at their job? Do they get along with the team? Do they handle pressure well?

I've always found it interesting to observe how people approach code debugging for a similar reason; can they see, not just look. Quite often people will think they 'know' exactly where the problem resides and fail to find the problem despite visible evidence to the contrary. Specifically crafted 'debugging' tests are a valuable part of my interview approach, even for non-technicals.
>You've had about 9 years to start the transition to 3.0, and you still have 3 more years before EOL.

Most of those years library support was non-existent or lacking. And still today the majority uses Python 2.x (Pypi stats).

So it's not like the migration was some great success since the start, and all those years were just wasted by some minority not migrating.

In the end, it's not a discussion on HN or what the "BDFL" says about an official EOL that will settle the matter, but actual adoption in the field. But in addition to the low adoption rate, we've even seen people leave Python for Go and Node/JS.
This is awesome!!!
