Abandoned by whom? ;-) I don't plan to abandon it.

Elsewhere in the thread xrange has mentioned Tauthon. And there are more Python 2 interpreters than just the main C Python.

Pypy may stop supporting 2 syntax officially, but I doubt it. Since it never changes, there's next to no overhead to keeping it available.

And further, if your language isn't changing then maintenance and debugging become much easier. Conceivably the codebase(s) can asymptotically approach 100% correctness.

I'm sorry, but this is a complete misapprehension of "black body" radiation and your experiment is nonsensical. "Black body" refers to an object that absorbs all incoming radiation, and nothing to do with the "a black, empty vacuum". The spectrum of such an object therefore is entirely radiative (no reflection) and depends only on its temperature. As a sibling points out, a vacuum cannot be heated - there is nothing to heat - and does not have an emission spectrum. Your experiment would simply measure the spectrum of the bottom of the hole you drilled.
Languages that bind you to a garbage collector aren't always well suited for "systems programming". You might not want to pay the memory or latency cost.

It's not always clear cut though. I think Go is a great language for writing system tools, and yet it has a gc.

As the other responder commented, I think it's about identity rather than the job itself. I imagine if I'd had the same kind of experience you had with multiple layoffs and all that I would have suffered some severe depression. One layoff didn't really impact me, but four times in quick succession would definitely wear on me.
Thanks, Dang. As someone who was a bit critical as well, I greatly appreciate the background on how you see your role.

Oh, and, you know. Also that little detail about you actually doing all the work. Similar the cliche about the sysadmin[1], that you don't get enough credit demonstrates how well you do it, because situations like this are so rare.

[1] That being: when systems are running poorly, everyone wonders why they employ such an incompetent sysadmin. When systems are running well, everyone wonders why they waste money on a sysadmin.

As as been mentioned, integer bounds for one. Using aspects in Ada will also let you provide other assurances (at compile time or runtime, depending).

Additionally, the "newtype" in Ada is far easier to work with. The new type inherits the operations of the parent type. When it comes to this sort of thing, it needs to be as simple and easy as possible or it just doesn't get done consistently.
If you are using ubuntu as a base you are probably better off installing k8s directly with a tool such as https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/

On ingress:

You can use ingress to load balance your ingress across nodes, but it's not a service load balancer. That what services are for. Your ingress points to one or many services, which then load balance pods matching that label.

Ingress IS however used in place of cloud-level load-balancers like ELB on AWS. When you choose a service type of "LoadBalancer" on a cloud platform, it provisions an elb that external traffic can go through.

On-prem k8s obviously does not have that, so before ingress the only way to expose ports was by service type "NodePort" This exposes the service on a dedicated port, but it's a pain to manage because they are randomish.

Ingress lets you just point at port 80, from there you can easily route to services as they come and go.

For your home cluster, you can expose port 80 of your cluster to your router. Then you set up an ingress that matches the hostname. This will route to your services. It's what I do with my home cluster: https://hackernoon.com/diy-kubernetes-cluster-with-x86-stick...
I once received the $500 voucher, and as an infrequent traveller, it was completely useless. The voucher went unused and expired. I wish they had offered me cash.

Now, I am a frequent traveller and mostly travel on business. Now again, the vouchers are useless to me.

I think the airlines should offer real cash instead of vouchers. More people would be ready to take those instead of vouchers.
> Smoking irritates people, but outdoors, it is really easy to get away from.

I find smoking 100x worse than any drone.

When I'm standing there minding my own business, and then some selfish person comes near and ruins my air, I find it incredibly rude and selfish. Why should I have to move just because someone else can't keep their addictions to themselves?

And the terrible-smelling smoke carries literally more than 50m, even outside. I guess humans have evolved to be super sensitive to smoke for obvious reasons, but cigarette smoke smells so much worse to me than wood smoke. It's just so (literally) noxious. That's a pretty big area for one person to make unbearable.

I can't eat anywhere near it, up to 100m downwind. Smokers have no idea how unpleasant their habit is to others, or at what distance, because they have completely ruined their own sense of smell and taste.

> Drones can (and occasionally do) fall out of the sky.

I never used to worry about high drones but now you've reminded me of that, maybe I will! I'd still rather they were far up and quiet though.
Have you seen Nix? It can be used in this way, and its configuration language is relatively good.
There was a young, incredibly well spoken, and intelligent analyst on Mad Money last week from JP Morgan (Matthew Boss) who leads retail coverage for $JPM. He went on to explain that they buy satellite time and point it down at malls and count the traffic going in and out of the malls to make forecasts. Individual investors have no chance against that in terms of market data, but that's fine. Let them over analyze, over trade, and underperform.

That is actually how all mentalism works. It's traditional stage magic that is sold as psychology as part of the act to lower the audiences guard. It's super effective. Reading books like Corindas 13 steps to mentalism blew my mind when he goes over all of the shtick and stage magic gimmicks they employ so effectively.
I didn't read that at all.

In fact, understanding that it's all about supply and demand is a critical step for tackling this issue and allowing new supply. I see far more resistance to new housing from people who don't understand econ 101 than from those who do.

Make the Most of Dev Downtime with Culture Projects
Well now you're getting onto my personal reason why I don't adopt Python 3. Python 2 will remain just as useful as it's been. Python 3 will not significantly extend that usefulness.

So I don't think there's much to be gained.

The 3 syntax and new features are not massively better than the sweet spot hit by 2, they're not even incrementally better. They're just massively more complicated.

So the cost/benefit ratio of Python 2 to 3 just isn't there. People are changing up because it's "the done thing" not because they really gain anything.

I was surprised as hell when I realized I wouldn't use Python 3, but it is a rational and considered opinion.
> more performant than....what exactly? If I need to load 1000 rows from a database and splash them on a webpage, will my response time go from the 300ms it takes without asyncio to something "more performant", like 50ms?

Potentially, it depends on if you can do other tasks for the same request that don't depend on the data. You might be able to render most of the page for instance. It's not purely about throughput.

Please tell me that 300ms was made up too and that it's not really taking that long.

Doesn't mean there won't still be scars, but it does get better over time. It's perfectly normal and healthy for you to havae a period of mourning for the life you lost. Best of luck to you.

The passengers with tickets are still sellers in your second scenario; to the airline as a buyer. The airline needs to buy back the number of seats that they oversold for which passengers checked in.
> big cities where the quality of life is lower by promising them a better future.

Is there any place in your worldview for people different than you?

This might boggle your mind, but I voluntarily choose to live in big cities even though my work is 100% remote. I could live in a super cheap rural area, but instead I choose to live here in NYC specifically because I think it's much higher quality of life here.

Your comment seems incredibly self-centered. Not everyone considers large houses and empty spaces to be the epitome of "quality life."
They've basically had to innovate (e.g. renovate) or die. A lot of mixed used as well. This is difficult for colder climates in general.. but you get outdoor malls with restaurants, shops and apartments/condos and maybe a hotel. Even then it can be difficult. Just like the large downtown department stores that went a while ago.
Ah, I love "weird errors." I'm not sure there's any other adjective that's ever used, they're always weird.

The whole idea of depreciation is spreading large capital expenditures (free cash flow = cash flow from operations - cap. ex.) over many years.

Therefore, free cash flow in any single year does not say much, only when considered over many years.

The key question is, then, those large capital expenditures that are accounting for the large depreciation charges, were they truly one-off, or can we expect them to be recurring?

Having said that, I have made mucho dinero off of investing in companies that have negative earnings due to high depreciation charges from truly one-off expenses (infrastructure investment, foolish purchases by previous management, etc.). Eventually the depreciation tapers off and earnings fall in line with fcf, and I make money.

I worked at a web agency before so I know how that is. If software is just a means to an end, what are they exactly selling if not software? Websites as a service, perhaps, but that still doesn't support the business model that focuses on hourly billing, that puts a perverse incentive for developers to produce less satisfactory results.

Could you please define "Top Programmer(s)" ?
To whom it may concern at the FCC, As the head of an ISP I must tell you that I am entirely dissatisfied with the billions of dollars I make providing a mediocre utility service with near zero competition to customers who pay for that service. I see the billions of dollars being made by Facebook and Google through innovation and user consent and I want to take that money with political and regulatory force. I'll need you to first make it entirely legal for me to capture and sell all data about my users. Not because they consent, not because they want this but because I want a new cash cow to slaughter. I'm going to use this information to become an alternative provider of targeted ads to my customers. Next, I'll need you to allow me to throttle back the speed by which customers can access my competitors services because mine aren't as good. This isn't so much a toll road as a team of aggressive traffic cops, pulling over any business making too much money on my big dumb pipe to slow them down... fine them and then let them slowly attempt to carry on. I need this all because I don't innovate, I don't like my customers or give a shit what they want. I am simply used to using raw power and corrupt regulatory force to act as a parasite extracting the maximum tariff from productive businesses, people and entrepreneurs possible while keeping some of my hosts alive... but killing the smaller ones. I am big business. I am angry because I am losing. The actual free and open internet is allowing actual free market capitalism and user choice in too many things. I used to fight this kind of thing in back rooms quietly but this fight has escalated so now I must come out in the open and ask the government publicly to please take from the poor and give to me in new ways... because the poor keep innovating their way out of the traps I set. Finally, I disrespectfully request that the rules I propose be named the exact opposite of what they stand for, so it's clear this isn't a discussion with reasonable people but a raw show of force. -Old Rich Guy
I have JavaShit switched off everywhere except where I explicitly allow it, so I never encounter these problems.

That's news to me! I'm pretty darn sure the Titan X has no problems with inference on the amounts of data that a single user would want inference for.
The funny thing is that this will likely lead to a lot more significant losses in online privacy. The ISPs will now extort money from Google/YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, and Amazon...at least two of whom will need to track users more in order to better target ads (since they're already at max-ad-display thresholds) to increase ad yields. So to generate more revenues to feed ISP extortion, it's likely to drive companies to track you further.

Actually, looking at Haskell, the optional whitespace (either indentation or braces, newline or semicolon) looks like it solves that problem quite well.

My gut feeling is still that it might be messy.

>I am somewhat confused by what do you mean by "feeling connected", however. What do you expect to give or receive from that connection?

I guess I'm expecting more momentum to be built from my professional experience. Being in touch with a circle of people that talk shop, and bounce job opportunities back and forth. Right now keeping in touch with people in the industry doesn't feel as organic. Meetups help but it's still a bit forced from my view.

I believe that benefits occur more organically simply by making friends. But as I said, my friends are not very familiar with the software industry, nor know anyone who hires in that industry, so they can't really help me out in the professional world.
