It seems like the python maintainers always try to complicate things for themselves to cater for some obscure use case that nobody use. I mean really, when was the last time you ever accessed a namedtuple by index?? (For vectors i do see a benefit that you can throw it right into a matrix multiplication that is designed for arrays but really, you can do that equally easy in other ways). And constructing them on the fly doesn't make much sense either as it defats the benefits of a shared type across the code base.

All people ever wanted was just a way to write in one line ´Point3D = struct(x, y, z)´ that translates into the exact equivalent of:

class Point3D:
def __init__(x, y, z):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.z = z

What would be the startup performance of parsing the above 5 line class compared to a namedtuple? Surely it should be faster to create it with a shorthand form built into the language, if the functionality is equivalent?

I'm so glad we're handing out the responsibility to establishing what's true and what's moral to megacorporations. Absolutely nothing can go wrong this way, after all they told us that "they care" and they are "not evil".
Seems to me that classes generally replace structs in such languages. I know they're not the same thing, but classes have the features of structs (and much more) at the cost of performance.
Advertisers.

Preroll ads are valuable because people are mostly paying attention. eg you went to youtube to watch X, and they show you 15 seconds of swiffer beforehand.

The problem is there aren't enough preroll ad slots available to satisfy demand.

Therefore, companies invent them. One thing I know people are doing is this: film a video every day. Talk about who cares. It could be upcoming movies; the tv show with dragons; whatever. Buy an ad slot. Play your video. Put a preroll or interstitial ad in your video. Tada! You just turned dirt cheap ad inventory into expensive video ad inventory. Of course, if the viewer leaves the page too fast, you lose the money you spent. So this is an arbitrage play.

The problem with manufacturing video ad inventory is that almost all the manufactured stuff is either (1) off onto the side, or (2) not gating something that a viewer wants to see. And hence, they don't receive attention.

Make sense?

Legit video advertisers and publishers are all unhappy about this, because this shitty faked inventory drops the value of the real thing, ie preroll ads in main content that the user wishes to see.

Oh, and publishers get very unhappy because (1) many of them are ok with picture ads but not at all okay with autoplay video ads; (2) if they're going to put autoplay videos on their page and take the hit for (rationally) pissed off users, the pub wants to pocket that $5-$25cpm rather than get paid for still picture ads and let some arbitrager steal the difference.
> serve the most appropriate ad

Is it just me, or is this approach not very useful? I'll google for a certain product, do a little bit of research and then buy what I finally picked. Then I'm stuck with seeing ads for similar products for the forseeable future. Ads for a product I already bought and no longer have an interest in.

I think ads would actually do better if they're just targeted to the demographic that fits the page I'm currently looking at without being personalized.

> support the Nazis right to express themselves

I'm not particularly fussed over nazism getting a raw deal in the free speech debate. It's not the 'thin end of the wedge' when an ideology that caused the deaths of over 50M people in a mere half-decade is verboten. That's not a particularly 'slippery slope' to slide down. Nazism has had its run, and it proved to be the single worst ideology in the history of humankind. If someone thinks that perhaps the Nazis had some good ideas, fine, argue for those... but grab a new name. After all, if it's the ideas that matter, then losing the branding shouldn't be a problem.

Location dependent. I hazard a guess 80% of UK people going on holiday take out travel insurance, it's practically pushed down your throat at every turn and in the media too about dangers of being medically insured abroad without insurance. The airline travel insurance for lost baggage and delay is pretty scummily pushed and generally doesnt cover medical. Luckily it is usually only 5-20GBP per person per trip or 50gbp-100gbp for an annual policy (with max time out of country limited to X months usually 6). I suspect this is because we dont generally have medical insurance in the UK due to the NHS where as I guess your $$$pm medical insurance covers you abroad so primary reason for holiday insurance doesnt exist.

I am tablet-bound, at the moment. I'll check it out, probably over the weekend. I've emailed myself a link. I will check to see if I can contact you through the site - though I will be using it in Opera.

It does make me question this, however. How are you certain you're not introducing your own biases with it? Or, perhaps not even biases of your own?

Sometimes bias exists simply by virtue of externalities. An example might be that, when differentiated by economic ability, black people don't actually do more drugs than white people - though crime stats would indicate otherwise. The difference is their neighborhoods are policed more heavily and the biases in enforcement. Notably, even black officers may be biased in their enforcement.

It really seems like a tough nut to crack. I'm a mathematician, not a social scientist. I don't actually have any idea how to fix this.
> Requirements: Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.

So this event is only intended for people who already are Apple customers? MS Edge as the only other way seems very weird.

How common is this HLS thing, what would be the more open alternative and what advantages do they believe HLS has over it?
I personally don't think the glasses will come just yet. IMO it would make sense to let ARKit sink in, and have a healthy corpus real, published applications use it for a while before releasing a product around it. Moreover, I'm sure there still are improvements to be made, and they will come after it's used in the real world for some time and developers voice their feedback.

I'd put a year or two more on some glasses, but boy do I hope they are coming. I'm super hyped about the possibilities, especially if you combine super-fast on-device computer vision (Core ML?) with AR.

I wouldn't expect it this year. ARKit is clearly their open beta so developers can get their apps ready, consumers can get used to the idea etc. ... if they are making something like AR glasses, I wouldn't expect it for a year or two yet.
Some people, perhaps you as well, take offense at LOC metrics because they're (in theory) easy to game, via redundant code, whitespace, verbose vs concise languages, etc. And because good developers know that small code and systems mean fewer opportunities for lurking bugs and points of failure.

BUT, if a team of developers is not padding their code, nor has shitty programmers who write page after page of nonsense, then in the end the proportion of functionality to LOC should be fairly stable, and thus LOC is a useful and meaningful proxy metric for the amount of new or changed functionality in a codebase.
This article is ostensibly about how the current implementation of namedtuples has had serious consequences for the startup time of Python, because namedtuples are used in the compilation of classes (roughly). However, somehow this buries the lede...the most "interesting" discussion is kicked off by the first comment:

Issues around the performance of Python and programs
written in it have far wider consequences than startup
time. During all the time any Python program is running,
its host machine is consuming power that typically depends
on pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. If most of that power is
wasted, the effects go far beyond extra money to buy
it, or to operate extra servers, or users who wait a
little longer. The carbon footprint of a Python program
that runs throughout a data center, or many data centers,
adds up.

There was an article earlier on HN about the energy consumption pattern of Bitcoin/Ethereum and presumably any blockchain that implements a proof-of-work protocol/scheme, and between that article and this comment - I've started to notice a growing unease (I am probably waaay behind on the uptake) about the "world-eating" capacity of software.

I wonder how quantifiable implementation decisions like the ones exhibited by namedtuples in Python, which one might argue is an unfortunate/accidental side-effect vis-a-vis energy consumption, versus ones like proof-of-work, which I would argue are explicitly designed to be expensive.

And if anything should come of that quantification, namely, does optimizing code really become a moral imperative, and if so are there some usability and refactorability metrics that are often held in high regard that we ought to consider abandoning in the name of "energy efficient" software.

Obviously, this isn't a simple tradeoff, software that is difficult to write because it is highly optimized is difficult to maintain, and it might be the case that performance derived energy savings are outweighed by the energy cost of maintenance (literally, the energy cost of debugging and testing).

Credit scores are loose proxies for a conscientiousness score (which is why they correlate with all sorts of useful stuff like likelihood you're going to wreck an apartment, get in a motorcycle accident, or abscond with the till). However there is ample psychological research indicating that you can locally boost conscientiousness with a variety of techniques, mostly involving continual follow up, breaking compliance into small steps, and reminding of the benefits of compliance via frequent positive reinforcement. (It's fair then to ask if this really counts as "conscientiousness" per se given that level of intervention, or a more abstract measure of task completion).

It seems like this fund is using this to its profit. Good for them. It does almost seem, given that level of investment in the actual enterprise, like equity or some sort of hybrid instrument better represents the risk of the investor & the amount of effort they're putting into seeing the ventures succeed.

(Incidentally, this pretty solidly mirrors the approach to high-risk students of basically saturating them with life coaching, which seems to work pretty well as long as you can actually invest that level of resources continuously).

> classes have the features of structs (and much more) at the cost of performance.

Not true; C++ classes have zero performance overhead over C/C++ structs (because they're just another word for the same thing).

Of course Python classes have a lot of costly features that C++ classes don't have, but the notion of a "class" (with methods, constructors etc) is not one of them.

Moreover professors have their own agenda. Just looks at the reproducibility problems in many fields. There's very little information out there that doesn't have some kind of hidden bias. At least when you know there is a bias you can systematically take that into account.
This is an interesting way to encourage people to contribute to Wikipedia. The "get out and explore your city" motivation reminds me of Pokemon Go... but this time you're sharing what you find with the world via Wikipedia.

In my immediate area (Williamstown - a suburb of Melbourne) the only monuments listed are train stations, but once you get into the city it looks more interesting.

One suggestion - add a big tagline at the top of the page. If I scroll down and read the text I understand what is going on, but it would be great to make it obvious right up front. "Explore monuments in your city and share your photos on Wikipedia".

[edit] it's not very usable on my phone - I can use a map but when I click an icon it opens a list that is off to the right of the screen, and I can't scroll to it. A mobile first interface would be ideal for getting me to go out and participate. A big "monuments near me" button that opens the map to my current location, and then the ability to take a photo from my camera. Should be a pretty easy fix/feature that would make this way more spontaneous and fun to use when on a phone.

Here's the article Google suppressed.[1]

"when given an integer, this function always returns an integer"

(defun foo (x)
(declare (integer x))
(round (/ x)))

(describe #'foo)

Derived type:

(function (integer) (values integer rational &optional))

When given an integer, the function returns an integer,
as well as an additional rational value. ROUND's
specification says the type of the remainder is a REAL,
but since I call it with integer, it is more precisely a
RATIONAL (a subtype of REAL).

(foo 0)
=> arithmetic error DIVISION-BY-ZERO signalled

Note, the meaning of the derived type is: if the code returns a value, then its type is .... The same applies in OCaml, where you can raise exceptions.

Let's restrict the input domain to non-zero integers:

(defun foo (x)
(declare (type (or (integer 1 *)
(integer * -1)) x))
(round (/ x)))

(describe #'foo)

Derived type:

(function ((or (integer 1) (integer * -1)))
(values (integer -1 1) (rational -2 2) &optional))

The primary return value is an integer between -1 and 1; the remainder is a rational between -2 and 2 (ranges are inclusive).

> What would be the startup performance of parsing the above 5 line class compared to a namedtuple?

I think https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15135147 explains why you can't optimize namedtuple like that, since dynamic dispatch makes calls to them not "the exact equivalent" of that code. The proposal to move them to a top level data structure could solve this problem though, I think.

I'm really interested in this.

I follow the field fairly closely, I've implemented an open language question answering system myself, as well as re-implemented parts of the Watson QA system form their papers. I've built NN based entailment systems, and I built a text summarisation system which still wins benchmark competitions 15 years after it was built. Also, I use Superset (AirBNB's opensource Tableau competitor) daily.

Basically, I'm not a complete neophyte in this and related fields.

But I don't have a clue what this system does.

I know Prolog and some about CCG. But the it talks about Tableau and I'm completely lost.
