I've run out of memory a few times this week on my Linux VM at work, and also at home on the beater laptop I use in the living room. Those are both stuck at 4GB of RAM, though.

On my laptop with 16GB, it's certainly been at least a few months since I've done anything that made it hit swap.
More likely than not, because the data is not theirs (I think it's Navteq->Nokia->Here), they wouldn't be able to resell it with a markup at a competitive price, so they don't even try.

I totally get that, but it's a) unfortunate that when one buys a home, their financial self-interest becomes immediately opposed to the needs of the overwhelming majority in this city who rent, and b) ridiculous that city politics safeguards the value of these risky bets by homeowners at the expense of literally everyone else.

Yes, you should read up on the Contributor Covenant. The creator of which is notorious for aggressively pushing to get the CoC included into projects and then harassing developers. Here's one of the more famous examples:

There's also a lot of different homologation requirements to sell in different markets. That could blow out the number of models.

Supply is expensive, and running a 'maps offering' is more of a data-collection and data-maintenance challenge than a logistical challenge. Of course AWS probably will offer such a service eventually, simply to complete their Gotta Catch Them All product strategy, but for now they've seemed to focus on things where their value is in software and infrastructure, not in having a 500 person staff of people with the background and skills to validate and compile geospatial data.

To the inevitable takes on this, no, it's not just a matter of downloading OpenStreetMap or any other data source.

Python is really only the target for those because someone lied to all of the systems folk and told them that Ruby was too slow. (The previous wave of infrastructure management tools seemed to all be written in Ruby and nowadays it's Python or Go.) That and python is one of the "official" languages at Google and everyone wants to be Google, right?

Meanwhile, Ruby is making great strides in performance and even has JIT coming in 2.6.
Does mapbox provide place details data yet? Last time I spoke w/ sales it was a planned feature, but not released.

Python is not optimized for small glue code at all. The fact that it is the sanest language for use in that niche speaks much more about the ecosystem than about Python.

Python seems to be mainly optimized for web servers, scientific computing and machine learning tasks. None of those care about startup time.

Our recurring costs are only for the lease at supernode1, which is around $1000/month. Divide that by our member node count (158) multiplied by users of each node ~4, 1000/(158*4)gives you under $2/month per user. Members usually pay for their own routers so that isn't included. To set up the supernode was about a $10K one-off charge for install fees, servers and antennas.

DE-CIX, our IXP, donated bandwidth to us, and we have transit also donated from Packet Host and WebAir. We actually pay nothing for bandwidth. Probably one day we will pay but it is not that expensive if you do this at an IXP and use peering.

We have an AirFiber pair that is 24Ghz, but all of our sectors are 5Ghz wifi.

You are absolutely being pedantic. But more importantly, you're no longer making complete sense:

> if I say toxic masculinity produces certain social problems, it doesn't mean either that all masculinity is toxic ...

That is your opinion. That's a taking a very nuanced view.

"Toxic masculinity" is not a specifically addressed term and therefore it may be interpreted as a universal male trait by the young listener.

> ... or that all problems are social

This makes toxic masculinity even worse by your own definition: the toxicity might be understood as a natural and unalterable part of the poor little guy.

The messaging is just sloppy and is quite frankly hurtful, possibly intentionally, though not by you. You've partially conceded this sloppiness in your response even without my cajoling.

The way I see it, without the comfort of using Electron, many apps would simply not exist, because nobody would invest the considerably larger) time and effort.

So it's not electron vs native, it's electron vs nothing.
Since you're after micro-controllers you might be interested in Nim. At this year's FOSDEM we showed off some micro-controllers running Nim code[1]. The language is definitely less Python-like than Cython, but it might just be similar enough for your use cases (I started using Nim as a Python replacement).

Model S sales - allegedly down on April 2017.

Has America fallen out of love with the sedan? Even the Tesla version?

Ford announced they are not going to be selling sedans in America, Mustang excepted. GM are ditching the Bolt (or Volt?) and FCA aren't making a lot of regular cars in the USA.

From now on monster SUVs powered by oil is what the future is in America, thanks to fracking and easy credit. Can't wait for the invasion of affordable Chinese electric cars.
According to [the PR that introduced this to Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/11501), it just takes advantage of a similar feature in Chromium.

It was around 150..300 MB if I remember right. Admittedly, I do import a lot of modules. Program startup for me is in the seconds, not milliseconds. I maybe could cut it down 50% or even 80% but then that would cost a few weeks or a few months. Having a quick and robust solution to be implemented in a single week to cut down startup times by that amount would be highly preferable.

Maybe? I think the intent was similar to applied mathematics compared to mathematics.

In that computer science is ultimately behind computer programming, but most people don't care about the theory and only use applied theories in day to day work.

But I'm stretching a bit as I can't read minds over the internet yet.
You can buy a bond that forces Tesla to repay you $1 in X years, for 89 cents.

Bonds trading below value happen when there is uncertainty whether it can actually be repaid in the future by the company (e.g. maybe it is unsecured debt).

If repaid the yield would have been 5.3% per annum + the 11% difference it trades below value
Wasn't there a popular article with the author vehemently supporting the use of /dev/urandom because of it's nonblocking characteristics? I vividly remember it.

Also I think it's common knowledge that there's little entropy available during startup but developers have no control over it regardless.

I didn't know it was that bad though. That's really bad.
A significant majority of Facebook's security infrastructure is inward-facing. Too much history with engineers doing stuff like this and the possibility of an employee being compromised by a hostile state actor is high on the list of threats that are considered. It used to be the case that an engineer could fire up a test instance of the front-end and poke away at the back-end without anyone noticing, but those days are long past. I am not sure how much more has been added in the past few years, but there were so many instances of developers snooping on the new SO of their ex-SO back in the day that the paranoia level for this sort of threat became a driver for a lot of infosec projects.

Given that anyone on the team who had been around for a while would have known this I am assuming the security engineer who was shown the door was either an intern or new to the team as most others would have known that they would eventually be caught.
Agreed. That was my first thought, too. Part of the reason that these silly vaccine/autism conspiracy theories are hard to shut down is the fact that Autism is harder to detect pre-vaccination, so there's confirmation bias here among parents of Autistic children.

If this study provides nice evidence to the Anti-Vax crowd that Autism can be measured and detected well before vaccination age, this might help take some of the wind out of the sails of the movement.

Of course, for many, science won't help, much like usable retroreflectors will only break down the fantasy for a subset of moon landing conspiracy theorists, but if it gets brought up even once in a Whole Foods somewhere, they've done a good thing.

Not me. I would perfectly comfortable interacting with such a person, because I'm a mature, professional adult who is not a fragile child that needs to be treated like a kindergartner. I will go out of my to not work with the adult babies who think the world should revolve around them, and have to politicize every aspect of life.

:) That was my point. All of those were on the LG Prada.
Thanks for sharing this. You're a voice for a lot of people, especially on HN, who feel like they need to be up with the latest trends on tech to be happy or cool or relevant. But when you zoom out and think about the fact that most people on this site, and really a lot of people in society in general, sedentarily stare at a glowing rectangle for 8+ hours a day, you wonder why there aren't more comments like yours.
It sounds like you're angry because you want the autonomy to choose not to think about social justice issues (at least at work), and you feel like that choice is being taken away from you by people who enact things like codes of conduct. Now it's institutionally everyone's responsibility to think about these things, so if I want to be part of this institution, I no longer have this choice.

Is that right?

What do you think about people who say, I'm a woman, and/or I'm black, and/or I'm gay, and/or I'm trans, and/or I'm disabled, and/or I have a mental illness. I also just want to sit heads-down and code next to you and not think about what I "am", but unfortunately -- perhaps, invisibly to you -- people are doing things which prevent me from being able to do that. A code of conduct moves us a bit closer towards "equality of having to think about social justice", in that I have to think about it a bit less, in exchange for your thinking about it a bit more.

This is a distraction from the post. But the thread may attract minds who are glad to correct.

The post shows an example where code calls into shared-object files from picolisp.

Something I have been wondering: why are the inspection options so weak for SO files? I expect you should be able to introspect a SO. In response, you would receive function and struct documentation, and clear type information about functions.

Relevant stack overflow question, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/61940/introspection.... "For C-type functions, you'll only get function names, not argument types or return values. For C++ functions, you'll get mangled names - pipe the output of that command through c++filt to get function names and argument types (still no return values though)."

You could change Elf to fix it. An alternative, the compiler could do it. Gcc could run an early preprocessor round to pick up metadata and type information. It would freeze this metadata to blobs in the code area. Through this, you could have a standard set of introspection methods built with that compiler.

I have been programming on Windows recently. In some situations, in order to build against a DLL you need need an accompanying "lib" file. If you do not have one, you can perform a circus to create one from the DLL.

What have I missed?

For 89 cents you can buy a Tesla bond with a face value of $1 which accrues at a rate of 5.3% per annum (so would have a face value of 105.3 cents after one year). Tesla will hopefully pay back the face value but they may not if they go bankrupt.

I agree Python's startup time is too slow. But one trick you can use to improve it some is the "-S" flag, which skips site-specific customizations. On my Ubuntu system it brings Python 3.6 startup time down from 36ms to 18ms for me; still not great, but it helps.

The drawback is this may screw up your Python environment, not sure how easy it is to work around it if it does.
