As long as the hash function remains unbroken, untrusted sources can't screw with you.

Hash functions tend to be broken gradually and publicly, and we migrate to new ones as they start to look shaky. It's theoretically possible for someone to privately break a function that everyone else thinks is secure, but it would be an extremely impressive achievement since lots of full-time cryptographers work on breaking these things and publish every little bit of progress they make.
this is exactly my biggest pain-point of dynamic typing (which I do at work): you can't know how a datastructure looks like. Just knowing the fields that are present is something I would like to have.

I wrote a guide to using WordPress to run an academic labbook [1]. It's basically just a case of installing some free plugins, and you've turned it into a collaborative platform. I've thought about combining the plugin code together into a single one for ease of setup, so if anyone finds that interesting then I can look into it properly.

This avoids proprietary solutions like the one here and allows self hosting.

The point is not having to write C and Fortran in first place.
This point is addressed in literally the first paragraph of the submitted article.
> Python being a dynamically typed, interpreted language

'CPython' is the defining implementation of the dynamically typed language 'Python' using a byte-code VM (and no jit compiler).

bash-3.2$ time /tmp/bench.py
5000000050000000

real 0m19.763s
user 0m15.015s
sys 0m4.309s

'SBCL' is an implementation of the dynamically typed language 'Common Lisp' using a native code compiler.

bash-3.2$ time /tmp/bench.lisp
5000000050000000

real 0m0.319s
user 0m0.294s
sys 0m0.017s

The unoptimized code is roughly 65 times faster in SBCL compared to CPython - including startup time.

Your friends must be better story tellers than mine! Second-hand stories tend to be pretty stale in my experience. Bad enough when people try to tell about something they heard happened to Joe, worse when they try to tell about something technical that happened centuries ago.

Stories like the Longitude story can be told outside academic dissertations - by people like Dava Sobel, though, not really by Fred who's just read her book.
> Cuphead was funded by Microsoft. The whole "mortgaging the house" story is just a marketing stunt

As someone in the industry, how can you not know how gamedev works?

I understand hanging out on HN can kind of blind people to the fact that "funding" isn't always endless. But "Funded by Microsoft" could very well mean they got $100k out of it, which would be peanuts for the amount of work that went into the game.

After all, do you really think MSS is going to shell out half a million for a "2d run and gun with an animation gimmick"?

Please don't call stuff like this "marketing stunts" unless you back it up with strong evidence. The games industry, even moreso than SV, is filled with the husks of projects that ran out of money, and of devs that ruined their lives on a bet that didn't pan out. Here of all places, I would hope people have some respect for that.
>Startups all look different, so a good VC can be better than a bad VC if they just know which differences to look for.

I don't think this is an obvious claim. There's no strong evidence that VCs are capable of differentiating good startups from bad.

i think there is a subtle difference between being conservative and being experienced.

experience gives, sometimes false, impression of knowing with some degree of certainty that a certain direction is wrong or won't yield results. young people don't have that bias.

conservatism is instead aversion to even agree with the results themselves if they don't conform with one's worldview.

this is pure speculation on my part though.
This is a good point, and it highlights where “corrupt and evil free-market economics“ diverges from the idealized Hayekian free-market economics that these politicians are pretending they adhere to.

If you have no choice of where to shop, and you have no recourse for making yourself whole when your only vendor abuses their monopoly power, that is not an “efficient“ free market.

Because that is ultimately the cover they use for all of this deregulation. “Deregulation hurts business“ is the only argument I have ever heard in favor of this kind of policy. But that is such an obvious lie at this point. That it seems they aren’t even trying t pretend policy has an economic basis anymore. But apparently the damage to the public’s ability to form an opinion has already been done.

Python is optimized for small programs being easy and quick (and pleasant) to write.

Every other use case it fails in some way. For being slow. For lacking static typing. For lacking compilation. For having a GIL. etc.
> I discussed this in this same thread. If your formulas are using values from from other cells, it makes sense to name them explicitly.

Surely if you're not "using values from other cells" you don't need cell references at all, and then what do you care about A1 versus R1C1?
I am sure there are many more or less difficult ways to imagine a world without the number 6.

One way would be that operations giving 6 would be just undefined exactly like division by zero. The domain of the inverse function omits the number zero. Likewise, the x+1 function omits the number five in its codomain. And so on.

However what happens if you look at decimal representations of numbers? Numbers like 16 aren't possible anymore, or are they? A save could be that we give it an own symbol like ∄. So we can write 16 as 1∄ instead. Because after all this exact point didn't disappear like zero didn't disappear just because it is undefined for the inverse function. But this feels like a very crappy cop-out.

Let me stop here. I am sure this gets arbitrary the more one tries to move around in a world without the number 6.

Reviews of HP Pavilion 22cwa Monitor
I've never played any DnD, but I've spent countless hours playing various video game RPG's from the Baldur's Gate series (based on the ADnD rules) all the way up to modern RPG's like Dragon Age and Pillars of Eternity.

A decade ago, when developers attempted to bring Dungeons & Dragons into the twenty-first century by stuffing it with rules so that it might better resemble a video game, the glue of the game, the narrative aspect that drew so many in, melted away. Players hacked monsters to death, picked up treasure, collected experience points, and coolly moved through preset challenges

Baldur's gate is almost 2 decades old, and I disagree that it did not have the narrative impact that a good DnD game could have (or maybe I'm misunderstanding the authors words). I'm not sure you can even compare what "need" Baldurs Gate satisfies for a gamer compared to DnD. I know gamers who enjoy both. I for one, am glad that computer games like BG exist.
if only you would spent 20% of your salary to feed starving children in Africa... see where I (and you) am going?

Like it or not, the world, and us people in this world, don't work like that. Any forceful attempt will sooner or later end up pretty badly. My personal opinion - its due to sheep/wolf nature of mankind, where arrogant assholes always get the upper hand regardless of the system.

Almost 100% redistribution of wealth - I grew up in such a system. What is there today (say western style of democracy and capitalism) is vastly superior and better for citizens. But I guess its easy to be armchair philosopher, communism looks great on the paper, doesn't it...

We've built this over the summer and launched it four weeks ago. We currently have around 150 listings and a couple hundred of users.

Would love to get some feedback or have you as guests or hosts. If you're already hosting on some other site, just pm me the link and we'll set up the listing for you

How compatible are existing python libraries with pypy, and is the official python taking clues from pypy? Is there more work to do to make pypy even faster?
Some people, me included, very much do. :)

Edited to add some background:

I feel it gives the tracks more context, especially as for many artists an album isn't just an unordered set of independent tracks but a carefully designed listing experience.

That said, I still like my playlists as well. ;)
But you need to get the "id as whatever" first.

Let's say you get the id from a HTML form as a string, and want to pass it to the library. Do you need to first convert it to an int? A uuid.UUID object? A custom ID class in the library? Is passing None allowed?

A type declaration on the get_product() function would tell you, and let the compiler to check your code for mistakes.
Yes, especially with the condemnation of Nazism with the Mit brennender Sorge encyclical, which was distributed in 1937.

The analogy does not work. People commit violent crimes for very different reasons than shitty companies commit economic crimes.

And at the end of the day, there is some amount of basic deterrence for people who are not in some kind of adverse mental state. How many more crimes of passion would there be if murder, or assault, were not so harshly penalized? The “deterrence does not work“ line as a matter of degrees, not absolutes, and only applies to a subset of the population. For the rest of us, it works just fine.

So to re-join the topic at hand, think of it this way: there will always be outright criminal corporate actors, and deterrence by corporate death will never stop them. These are the Bernie Madoffs and Jeffrey Skillings of the world. Their corporate actors, however, only act the way they do because they are simply are no consequences for doing otherwise, and upper management has evidently quashed their consciences entirely: AT&T (selling deanonymized data with token, non-retractable consent), BP (Gulf oil spill), Equifax (not caring about your security). Lest we forget that these businesses are in the business of making money, and they do so with terrifying efficiency, and their management is soullessly shrewd. If something is risky and expensive because it entails a high chance of a lawsuit or some other penalty, they will think twice about it.

Personally I just use the Goodreader app for music, and put my tracks on there and listen that way. Since my collection as a whole is in Dropbox, I can just pull whatever I want down into Goodreader when I want to keep it around on the device for awhile.

I too hate the iOS music app and any other app that attempts to improve the GUI nature of finding and exploring a music collection. I just want my tracks listed and easily jump between them. This app in this thread would seem to increase the amount of time I'd need to find a track; I don't care about all the fancy visuals, I just want to listen to music.

> whatever I want to do

I think we are done here. That's not how society works. You don't just get to do whatever you want to do and expect the manufacturer to still cover the warranty. They warranty it for an express set of conditions, for express purposes, as is understood by a reasonable person (a legal concept). If you tamper, see a dictionary, with the device then it is not their responsibility to cover it. That's actually pretty much how the law already is. Your house example is kinda silly. It's a house, not an electronic device.

I'd love to agree with you but reality suggests otherwise. If you overclock your CPU, as a rough example, they aren't gonna let you RMA it. I don't blame them. Swapping out user serviceable parts, as a reasonable person might do, is an obvious exception. You might want to try looking at it as a reasonable person (the legal concept) would.

You really seem to have a bit emotionally invested in this so I'm going to respectfully bow out now.

Your quote is referring to is the changes that DnD went though to keep up with modern DnD style videogames _like_ BG. Rather than saying those video games did not have a strong narrative impact, its saying DnD lost its own;
As the DnD rules became more complex often the priorities of a party shifted to min-maxing over questing for the sake of it.

Recently there has been a change in the core DnD rules away from heavy beardy / min-maxing play back to a DM running a narrative campaign.

I find that mirrors don’t work particularly well on bikes (I had one years ago but gave up on it), but the implementation works superbly on a trike, because the vehicle is wider, the rider’s position more conducive to using a mirror (not constantly craning your neck) and there’s actually a good place to mount it.

This is too categorical. And also it fails to define when small stops being small (and so is easy to defend by moving the goalposts). Yes, these are real problems, but some of them have (partial) solutions. You can use one of the many solutions to write a C, C++, cython and so on extension. You can have type checking with mypy. You can produce executable with cx_freeze (not compilation, but compilation is more of a solution than a problem). You can create parallel programs using multiprocessing. (etc.)

The “tritty” program does not set the baud rate on the TTY (with for instance cfsetspeed()), so programs running still think the terminal is fast. This means that programs (like Emacs) that have many optimizations for slow terminals, won’t use them, even though they would have been appropriate.
