Interesting assertion re: TimeToWriteCode, but I think there's TimeToWriteCode vs. TimeToWriteGoodCode.

I'm working on my first serious Python project right now, and I find it's super easy to throw together some code that more or less works; but for solid, readable, documented, properly unit-tested code I hope is production-ready, it's not any faster than Perl or Golang.

(Sure, if you're a Python expert it's faster for you than for me, but if it's about TimeForExpertsToWriteGoodCode I'm not any more convinced.)
That is the _FAST_ version of the code (people keep saying "of course, it's slow", when it's the fast version).

Here is an earlier version (intermediate speed): https://git.embl.de/costea/metaSNV/commit/ff44942f5f4e7c4d0e...

It's not so easy to post the data to reproduce a real use-case as it's a few Terabytes :)

Here's a simple easy code that is incredibly slow in Python:

interesting = set(line.strip() for line in open('interesting.txt'))
total = 0
for line in open('data.txt'):
id,val = line.split('\t')
if id in interesting:
total += int(val)

This is not unlike a lot of code I write, actually.

Given the excitement, I have to wonder what it would have been like to watch Saturn V takeoff. It still remains the largest most powerful (and most expensive) rocket ever built. Hats off to the previous generation.
> Sure, maybe. The problem is that doesn't seem enough to necessarily compensate for the added complexity.

A 50% improvement could be massively significant if processing a huge data-set on thousands of nodes and it is still taking days/weeks/more of wall-clock time. Given the choice between waiting longer, buying more computer power, or using a more complex algorithm, the best of those choices will depend a lot on the circumstances of the project. If it is a one-off then waiting or paying for power will likely win out. Of course in some circumstances paying for more power won't help: you can only get so much out of each node and for some processes factors like interconnect throughput & latency might eat into the ROI significantly as the number of nodes grow.

In some cases a 10% or less boost might be worth the extra complexity. And if the algorithm can be generalised and packages as a library, you aren't actually having to deal with that complexity each time the method is useful.

Having actively worked on a JIT compiler for CPython; in retrospect, JavaScript had a significant advantage over python: the expected requirement of one's JavaScript code to run more-or-less compatibly on a variety of interpreters.

So much Python has historically been tied to CPython's specific ideosyncracies that there is significantly more onus on the upstart VM developers to maintain compatibility with paralinguistic behaviour (things like expectations regarding object destruction sequencing).

The goal back then was to make things possible. Right now, especially with SpaceX shaking the competition up a bit, the process is making things cheaper, which enables space access for uses that have been cost-prohibitive in the past. However, I guess cubesats and tiny launchers are just as much a part of that development as SpaceX' work on reusability.

And the landing shots are just damn cool.
This is basic financial engineering and treasury management.

What's unique about AirBnB's business is that they collect money at the time of booking and don't pay out until after the stay. So basically, they are holding onto a ton of money and getting free float. AirBnB realized they can use this float in investing in low risk treasuries and generate a little revenue. (It is unlikely that equities is an asset class that is used)

From that point of view it's more relevant to look at the size of the successful projects in that market that resemble your technical goals.

The only really bad thing about the reMarkable is that the software still sometimes crashes, leaving you for ~20 seconds with a notebook that you can't write on.
Yeah I guess it comes down to whether something like "a vegan" is defined by action (not eating animal-derived foods) or by intent (attempting to not eat animal-derived foods because of religion, worldview, etc.).

And if it's intent, are all vegans equally vegan? If I "eat vegan" for my own health, and you "eat vegan" because you want sustainable agriculture long-term, and Suzie "eats vegan" because her religion tells her to, are we all really "vegans?"

And if we are, then why isn't a giraffe? We have no insight into its motivation, and "it evolved to do so" is a slippery slope.

As @Cursuviam said, Introduction to Algorithms is a pretty good introduction:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V...

There are two things that make the lectures difficult to follow, IMO:

The first thing is that you need to be comfortable with the names that are given to things, understand well the simpler data structures like different kinds of trees, linked lists, graphs and so on, with their corresponding operation running times. Go watch Algorithms and you'll be fine :)

The second is that the subject is really hard. During the course, most of the time we're learning about (close to) state of the art data structures, so don't expect to understand everything in one go.

If you want to understand it in depth, you'll probably have to more time studying each lecture. Try thinking about how you'd solve the problem, try to understand the proposed solution and go through the video very slowly making sure you understand the details, try to implement at least some of them.

I used these lectures as a way to get comfortable with the field and get a broad overview of the kind of solutions that usually work, so I still have to go through most of Step 2.
I don't think it's particularly easy to fix without fixing a lot of other things. Let's see how much time it takes them. :)

https://ponzico.win/

I appreciate the Matt Levine quote on the latter's home page:

'The great art project of our age is to entirely collapse the distinctions between "fraud" and "performance art," so that one day mortgage-bond traders will be able to say "wait, no, I wasn't lying about bond prices to increase my bonus, I was performing a metafictional narrative about bond-price negotiations in order to problematize the underlying foundations of bond trading in late capitalism."'

Edit: PonziCoin didn't even bother to write a "real" white paper; they just linked to an SEC document about Ponzi schemes. I think PonzICO wins here.
I haven't tested the performance, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be.

> You don't simply fill it up and relaunch.

Yes, you do. Or at least, that's what they want to do. They've already reflown a bunch of their landed rockets, including the two boosters on Falcon Heavy. The ultimate goal is to be able to fill it up and relaunch, and the ultimate motivation for propulsive landing is simple - that's what is needed on Mars (parachutes won't do much there), so they want to master it.

EDIT: I meant that today, with Falcon Heavy Test Flight behind us, the two side boosters qualify as reflown - this was their second mission, not the third.

I looked up cultured butter to see what it is. Eeew. Cultured butter is butter that has a strep infection.

If you buy products that normal Americans do not wish to buy, they will of course be expensive. I think your definition of "quality" is something like "as sold in Europe" or possibly "organic".

Stores seek to offer both affordable products and aspirational products. If there is no legitimate way to offer a better product than the standard one, some nonsense will be created. You'll get a fancy wrapper, arbitrary restrictions on how the product is made, and so on.

For this reason, you can get specially marked non-GMO salt. It's salt. Of course it doesn't contain genetically modified organisms! You are still welcome to pay extra for it.

"not understanding how folders could exist inside of other folders" -- My mom is 70 years old now, and I easily get frustrated whenever she's stuck with seemingly simple tasks with her computer. I usually scold her and yell at her, "This is so obvious, how come you don't know?" -- I always regret doing that afterwards.

After I'm calm, I ask her why, trying to understand it from her perspective. Every time I do this, I'm always surprised, because she gives valid points, and I end up cursing the developer :D

So, whenever I design UI/UX for an app, I ask my mom to test.

Rant: In my opinion, there should be an option in Mac/Windows to disable file drag and drop. Every time I check her computer, I always find dislocated files simply because she accidentally drag them.
Reluctant CRT owner here. I have one because it was cheapest and easiest way to get a low input lag display for speedrunning. I paid $30 for my 27" Trinitron on Craigslist and had to drive a bit to pick it up. It's a monster of a TV, requiring a sturdy rack to sit on and a couple strong friends if I want it somewhere else. The picture quality is great and the scanlines definitely add an old-school feel but it doesn't look better than my SNES Classic on my generic HDTV.

It's not that you CAN'T speedrun on LCD displays, it's that it's expensive and inconvenient. Connecting a retro console like a SNES to a modern display requires converting one of composite/S-video/component/RGB SCART to DVI or HDMI, and most of the devices that do that aren't designed with latency in mind. If you search on Amazon you'll find a bunch of cheap knockoff upscalers that, if they even work, add 50ms+ of latency. The cheapest acceptable option is the OSSC, a custom-made upscaler for retro gaming that costs about $200. Many people who built their setups before OSSCs were easily available use XRGB Minis/Framemeisters, which run about $320 and add very slightly more lag. Both the OSSC and Framemeister expect SCART input, so there's some extra cost there for cables/converters.

After you buy an upscaler, you'll still need a monitor with acceptable latency after all the extra image processing is disabled. The Melee community uses particular models of Asus monitors that people have checked, but it's difficult to find good information on input lag in general because it's not something manufacturers care to advertise. If you're buying new, figure about $200 for something like an Asus VG245H.

Lastly you'll need DVI/HDMI capture and splitting/passthrough. Not an issue if you're already capturing modern consoles, but S-video capture for retro hardware is dirt cheap. A good 60fps HDMI capture setup is easily $100-200.

So, overall it costs $500-600 to replicate the CRT experience from a retro speedrunning perspective and the results are a mixed bag - slightly (although imperceptibly) higher latency but higher video capture quality and some space savings. For comparison, my CRT setup cost $30 for the TV, $35 for a GV-USB2 capture dongle and $20 for a S-video/composite splitter, under $100 total. Unless something happens to make low input lag HDMI more cost-effective, expect retro speedrunners to continue using CRTs as long as they're viable.

I love Python. The language is a joy, the eco system is fantastic. But yes, let’s be honest, if you can not vectorise your code it is slow, and I think that will be its downfall eventually.

I’m excited about Julia, I hope it gains popularity and the eco system grows. Until then, and in particular until the data frames story can compete with pandas, it Python with Cython for me, but I’d rather skip the Cython if it was not necessary for performance.

Any early adopters running Julia in production with stories to share?
