Thanks for the tips. I can hear what you mean about Geoff Tate's voice, though like you say the vocal tone is still good in the later stuff, which makes it enjoyable musically.
Tough luck, roll the dice and hope you land on Community Chest or Free Parking.
You could use bookmark keywords in Firefox, which provide a similar function:

1. Create a bookmark for some-service.example.com/search?q=foo

2. Open the properties for the bookmark. Replace "foo" with "%s" (the universal string for bookmark keyword variables). In the keyword field, type some letter or string you'll remember; I'll use "q". Close the properties dialog.

3. In the URL field, type "q my-search-terms".

(At least that worked in older versions of FF.) It requires more setup, but works permanently.
It's unlikely that you would, but once you make it through Linux, the BSDs (including macOS), Unix systems (legacy?), Windows and Minix there's just not that much else left that's modern. At least with a RTOS or something designed for embedded systems you have some hope that it's designed to be lightweight.
It's pretty hard to make a case for transitioning from something that works pretty well to a new thing in general. The nicer the old thing is, and the wider it's been adopted, the harder the sell. That's just the way it is.

Too look at it a different way... If I see the benefit of & would like to make a change, actually making the change competes with all of my priorities. I'm under the impression that Python is used by many people who use reliable things with APIs that don't change often (I mainly of thinking of Bash & some Posix OS). I can see why they wouldn't be fans of making changes.

Personally I like using newer things, all other things being equal. That's mostly because it's easier to chat about recent stuff with people learning the same lessons I'm learning. Almost every time I ask a C/Bash/*NIX question on a Stack Exchange site, the question gets marked as a duplicate, links to a question with answers I had already, but failed to understand. That happens much less when inquiring on newer topics.
First one is an expression of your perspective; the second one is mine.

The FDA's actions do effectively stop you from having any source to buy a poisoned cucumber, or homeopathic ibuprofen, or whatever else, where said source is a US corporation. But only because it's going after those corporations. It doesn't care what you do.

(In a world where the FDA did care about such things, we'd probably have "drug tourism" laws the way we have "sex tourism" laws, where you could be prosecuted for drugs you used while abroad.)
That is like the biggest fake argument ever. There is plenty of resources and Python 2 support is neither a burden nor this burden in any way increasing. The are plenty of people ready to step up to continue Py2 support (Even I would be glad to help).

This is a pure political decision based on ideology.
It's a great idea! Not sure what else is already out there; aren't there a number of pdf annotation sites? Not sure if any are targetted at arXiv.
The interface is nice; is PDF.js easy to mod?

But where's an example of an article that actually has annotations? I clicked on a couple of article links on the main page, expecting that these would be the most recently annotated articles. But I hound no annotations. I assume that if it has annotations, you can view a list of them? Because, that's really important to have
I somewhat disagree. The opposite can also occur. Because everyone is gambling on the house market, the amount of productive places for investing diminishes as they are left to be forgotten. This can be obviously self-perpetuating but this is how I would characterize New Zealand.
"Propaganda" is an ambiguous word. By some definitions every country engages in ongoing propaganda. Especially in times of war (where the majority of these "modicum of research" you provided took place) there is sometimes a need to establish channels of communication and leadership.

Maybe it's easier to believe in a massively orchestrated conspiracy machine masterminding all of this, but I believe that the world and ongoing international affairs are slightly more nuanced than that.
If it's at least theoretically possible for a knowledgeable user to fix their devices, that's a pretty big improvement over it being a totally unfixable black box. For something like a lightbulb most people wouldn't bother, but if it's something like a car, a person without the technical skills to fix it themselves can pay someone else to do it.
One of the early principles of python was there is one idiomatic python way of doing it. Usefully, this enforced a world-wide code style guide, making it easy to read python code.

2.7 and 3.x essentially forked the language, enabling different idiomatic ways to do the same thing which reduced this particular advantage of python. I'm looking forward to seeing the community merge up again.
Starting this week I've been keeping a development diary, inspired by another post [1] on HN.

I'd been hesitant to do so until now, thinking everything I wrote would go to waste as I'd never look at it or even remember what I had written.

But after giving it a go, I think that even if I never look at my logs again, I'll continue to write them.

The key for me has been to continuously write to it almost as if it were an extension to my brain, rather than just writing things up after the fact.

I'm only on day 4, but so far some benefits I've noticed:

- Writing down what I'm about to do before I do it helps me stay focused.

- I can quickly grep to find a command I ran in the past, along with my stream of consciousness when I ran it.

- I can pick up where I left off in no time. The ramp up time after distractions has diminished to almost nothing.

- I have tangible output at the end of every day, where otherwise it would have felt like I accomplished nothing. Specifically, when working on those problems that don't seem to have any tangible output, like debugging some tricky bug. At the end of the day, instead of just telling myself "I fixed this issue", I now have hard evidence (for myself) that I actually spent the day working through a long rigorous debugging process to fix the issue. This helps me stay motivated and ward off that imposter syndrome.

- I feel less stressed when I'm stuck on something. I have a hunch that it's similar to how keeping a personal journal helps to process emotions.

- Writing out my process makes me less likely to go off on a tangent, or at least to be more aware that I am in fact going off on a tangent.

- It helps me keep the bigger picture in mind, sort of like rubber duck debugging.

Amazingly, I've been writing about 5000 words per day (though that includes pasted code and command output) and yet I'm getting more work done each day.

Indian Govt is totally inefficient. It is impossible as there are too many states, too many languages, too many view points and first of all, it is not even needed. Political parties (Be it state level or central) have enough money, machinery to throw dirt on each other through every kind of media. Coupled with the age old methods of vote buying, throwing freebies or use of religion/region/language/caste "cards" always work !

I was surprised to recently notice a yellow banner on the website of the very popular Requests library, which urges users to switch to Python 3. That's when I first thought switching may become inevitable. I guess this is being orchestrated behind the scenes now.

https://docs.python-requests.org

Still, I have no plans to switch. The only useful feature in Python 3 to me is more liberal use of unpacking. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of removed tuple parameter unpacking, which I use often, but most users apparently never do. I don't know what's difficult about Unicode in Python 2 either, once you understand the difference between Unicode and UTF-8.

It's unfortunate it ever had to come to this. Makes you wonder what Python would be like today without Py3K. (It's an open question.)
Was thinking mainly about scaling and such, but you're right, maybe I should worry about that when the time comes if it even gets to that point. Also just wanted to take different POV's in general aspects.

Thanks for your input!
Right, but it doesn't mean "small", some quanta are quite large.
This is just a study of filtering algorithms. The author is just looking at Photoshop's (default!) bicubic filtering, which emphasizes high-frequency detail content at the expense of accuracy. The browser examples are doing simple linear filtering.
> One thing that could hurt the market is maybe making manufacturers liable for the damages caused by security holes in their devices

That's what insurance is for. Something like this was discussed in my torts class in law school, except that was long before IoT devices existed so it was about things like lawn mowers.

The idea is that it might make the most sense economically to make the lawn mower manufacturer liable when users cut off a finger or toe, even if it was due to consumer stupidity instead of any negligence on the part of the manufacturer, because the manufacturer is in the best position to estimate the risks and purchase insurance to cover them.

Presumably, the manufacturer will pass on the costs of those insurance premiums to the consumers. The manufacturer still has an incentive to try to build safe mowers, because if their insurance company ends up paying out a lot the premiums will go up. They can pass those higher premiums on to the consumers, of course, but that will make them more expensive than their safer competitors.

The manufacturer is in a good position to deal with insuring for these injuries because they know how many mowers they are selling. Other candidates have less useful information. For example, a consumer usually has no idea what their chances are of suffering a lawn mower accident, so have no idea how to decide how much insurances is needed. Health insurance companies will have a good idea in the aggregate of how many of these accidents occur in a year, but they have no idea which of their customers use lawn mowers.

Done right, this should not hurt a market much.

I'm not sure it could work for IoT, though, because a lot of IoT devices are made by new companies that probably will not be around long. With things like lawn mowers, you could takes years to get around to cutting your hand off, and still reasonably expect the manufacturer to be around. Not so with a lot of IoT devices.
While I see the advantages there, it continues the trend of increasingly unrepairable components...
Not sure about others but I find myself practicing doublethink when juggling between Chinese media and Western media and have no symptoms of cognitive dissonance. To me it's just a matter of perspective.

Maybe we need to take that into account when discussing the impact of propaganda.

Nobody is forcing you to stop using Python 2.7, but the rest of the world is getting over it and moving on.

I'm sorry if that seems mean, but in the grand scheme of things the differences between 2 and 3 are pretty trivial, and most people still complaining about this are just being stubborn. I refuse to believe somebody can know Python 2.7 "extremely well" but then also need more than ten years to learn the few areas where Python 3 is different.

There's plenty of means within the existing legal framework to allow investors access to VC investment options. Blackstone IPO'd ten years ago, and Intel, Google and GE all have VC subsidaries. My pension with Oregon has a variety of investments in VC private equity funds that have done quite well.

There's really no reason to agitate for people to invest their savings directly into a single series A round. Capital pooling and diversification is a key function that VC provides investors.

This post is from the NIH intramural (Bethesda/DC campus) training site.

The NIH has research in genomics, neuroscience, machine learning, cell biology, and there's lots of cross talk between these fields.

There are PhD students at NIH (via partnerships with other universities, one example: http://neuroscience.brown.edu/gpp/), postbacs who stay for a few years to do research after undergrad, and postdocs.

As you can see from resources like this on lab notebooks, the central NIH training office takes mentorship and learning seriously. As do the scientists. If you want to know more about NIH intramural research you can message me.

Perhaps because a lot of tasks are not embarassingly parallel, which means moving data around, which means network interconnects, which means latency matters. Every millisecond delay in forwarding a packet is thousands of instructions stalled.

I'm not saying this is actually a sensible tradeoff for any extant HPC architecture, but it could be. You certainly want the 'OS' that runs the pipeline on your CPU to be real time!

One thing that jumped out at me is that they cite an increasing number of party members hating the other party. What they don't consider is that party membership for both parties has declined over the same time period, presumably leaving the most partisan in the parties. So it doesn't seem unlikely that the very premise of the work is inaccurate.
When I use python as a scripting language for small tasks I want something concise and convenient that just works. Python 3 is a downgrade in all those areas. I want to just some input into a string, do some operations on it, and print the result. Now I have to make extra special sure to convert the string between binary or utf8 as appropriate, catch encoding exceptions, not try to print anything that might have binary in it, and even the simple print statement was caught in this impractical mess that feels like it was designed by an out of touch academic committee comprised of people who'd never written real code in their lives deciding that string should actually mean only printable characters within a defined encoding and that statements are considered harmful. I can't wait for return to be a function too in python 4.
Considering the extreme difficulty in getting organic chemistry processes to work in the laboratory, having random chance work to get any pre-biotic sequences is of such low probability that all the hand waving and blackboard erasures of the current biology experts, etc., means nothing.

We do not know and cannot show any viable means of creating the full sequence of pre-biotic chemicals needed for the first organism to exist. When one of the top organic chemists in the world puts out that challenge and nobody responds, one can then say that all of these experts know full well that they do not have a clue and are just deluding everyone else as to how life even came to be.

Just using probability to say that life came about without at least a semblance of an idea of possible sequences that could work is useless. You need at least some possible viable sequence for the full biotic complement of chemicals to be available. Since the sequence requires processes and solvents that are inimical to previous and follow-on chemicals, this sequence development is a major, major problem that is regularly ignored by those who use probability to say life can arise.

When these things are taken into account, the simple fact that there is life here on this planet can be seen as a unique event throughout all of the universe.

On some estimates of random action giving rise to life anywhere in the universe, the probabilities are so low that the universe would need to exist for many magnitudes of time longer than its apparent age at this time. Your "one in a billion" is oh so many magnitudes of order higher than the probabilities estimated.

Of course, your view can be very different and if you can come up with a viable sequence then simply accept the challenge that has been put out. There will be an awful lot of relief if this could be done.
This is not conspiratorial thinking, it's verified fact. The world is not run by completely well-intentioned people, just as it's not run by completely evil-intentioned people. Just people, which can be capable of both

> Only Python 3? Are we there?

In my experience, for my purposes and use cases, obviously not, exactly as I wrote above. And it didn't have to be that way for most of the code, I claim that, knowing how little additional code were needed to have a different result: compare with the Linux Kernel, much more complex piece of code, where "kernel never breaks user code" because Linus set that goal. Python is much, much less complex than Linux Kernel, and the same goal was possible: not breaking at least most of code written for 2, while still allowing different new code. The overhead would be insignificant. Note that even without that overhead, Python 3 was (maybe still is) significantly slower than 2. So there is really no valid excuse.
1) I'm referring to a commonly known narrative, not necessarily the truth (I've recently been trying to encourage myself to recognize when my "knowledge" is of limited veracity).
2) I think the assumption is less that they were unable and more that they did not. I'm not familiar enough with the history of library science to judge this.

We must realise that there is nothing like "rights". There is only what we can secure for ourself, by way of voting or by way of revolution. You must fight for your rights, always. The moment people start thinking that their rights are inalienable, government starts eroding them.
This seems to be a popular position, and I think it's because space rockets and cities on the moon are large-but-simple advances that people can get their heads around. Computer tech is so far past their "magic" threshold that a modern smartphone doesn't seem much different to the original microcomputers.

Maybe you could explain it as "if rockets had advanced as fast as computers, we'd have flying cities that could travel to the moon and back in minutes."
Very cool, when I last went they had someone hacking on an FPGA to emulate one of the disks in one of those so they could keep it up and running.

I don't think there are $1m houses in their area. My guess is that the value of a $2m house in that area is land $1.5m, structure $500k. Even if they downsize the house cost by half, and buy in a smaller lot, the minimum house cost is still $1.5m.

I think the one element that the OP is missing is that after the transaction, he is better off by about $130k in tax due to the increase in basis of his home. If he eventually sells and doesn't buy another home in that area, he will realize an additional $130k in profits on the second home that would be lost to tax if he had not sold the first house.
The investment came after offshore human trials with poor recordkeeping. Why someone would throw good money at poorly documented science is beyond me. The comments in the Pipeline are not gentle and hark in the same direction.
I gave you a reference to a scholarly book that traces the path of Aristotle's most crucial work through the ages, instrumental in triggering the Renaissance.

The links you provide support my argument, although they incorrectly claim that knowledge of the Greek language and Greek texts themselves at some point almost disappeared from the West. This is false. For instance Pépin le Bref, father of Carolus Magnus (Charles the Great) petitioned pope Paul I and was gifted a large collection of Greek works including a copy of Aristotle's works, as well as access to a contingent of translators (over the centuries Byzantine monks regularly travelled to Italy, teaching Greek and bringing Greek works with them). The Carolingians did not primarily rely on Arabic texts to access the Greek works, and those who did initially use these texts quickly turned to original Greek copies for the sake of quality and completeness. One of the key Latin translations of Aristotle's works in the 12th century was made directly from Greek by Iacobus Veneticus Graecus (James of Venice) who studied in Constantinople; that translation was the one read by Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.

I've long felt I was missing something about the github process. It seems insanely complicated to me. Pushing the fork button is a very small piece of the process. Setting up remotes and things is very much NOT button- automated. And at the end of the process, you have this extra repo lying around in your github account that you'll probably never use again. The effort and amount of artifacts generated by a simple change are way out of proportion.

And yes, I do appreciate the rare cases when I can just make the change in the web interface of the original project. But most one-time changes I make involve compiling (or at least running) something.
It doesn’t matter whether you know of any use cases or not. Somebody else does. Don’t interfere with their liberties.
