The hobby is broad (and changing rapidly). The media and public conflate the different uses. It was mostly stodgy model airplane fliers who regulated themselves through a community group (Academy of Model Aeronautics), somewhat like how gun owners might follow NRA's rules on gun safety at a range (and pass a test first).

The bill would have the newer parts of the hobby (like those aerial photography drones) join in the self-regulation that AMA has been doing satisfactorily for ages. Sensible and not very controversial for most.

But it also puts the hobby directly under the authority of the FAA in a way that it hasn't ever been before. This gives FAA the ability to impose new regulations directly on hobbyists without the input that would happen in either congressional legislation or community group standards.

That is an epic big deal from the point of view of the old hobbyists and the new.

GUERRA-ESPACIAL: An implementation of the Spacewar computer game in Common Lisp
The web interface works fine for me on macOs, as well as the CLI. But it's far from centralised configuration management. Sometimes you want to tinker, but sometimes you just want to deploy something (at friends/family) that works and when you return to it in a few months, to continue where you left off without going through every device's configuration or the documentation that is obvious not there as those side projects often don't allow you to 'allocate' time for that.
For hand tools, Gearwrench is a very solid option, IMO their wrenches compare favorably even to something like Snap-On.

Harbor Freight has some good stuff, their hand tools aren't bad and their air tools(esp. the earthquake impact guns) are good, but NEVER buy anything from that store that
1) has a battery
2) is a consumable (sandpaper, saw blades, etc.)
3) you will absolutely depend on professionally (so like craftsman, if you absolutely need then buy 2 and rotate through them.
I have a similar script. It downloads my google docs in Word and Excel formats.
> The moon is a bad place for that because now you have to carry all that extra fuel for landing/etc.

I think that might be outweighed by the fact that the transit time is a few days compared to months, and launch windows are plentiful. It's better to test with all the benefits we can initially, IMO, as failure has such a high cost (in all aspects. How long do you think it would take for the public to get over their distaste of manned missions or colinization efforts after a big failure?).
I think because Apple are dogfooding this ML stuff themselves (camera, face detection, filters, Siri, etc), exposing that API publicly isn't that much more risk to them.
A better solution would apply a minimum standard of living and benefits to ALL workers - irrespective of the number of hours worked everyone should get benefits (health, sick/vacation 'savings', unemployment) which follow a worker and for which pro-rated jobs at least contribute a pro-rated portion.

Also, 'on call' or 'must be available' should be considered at least minimum wage PLUS benefits idle time since the employee is being asked to be on standby and not take other work. Schedules should also be known months in advance so proper planning can be made.

I haven't really measured it, but the last time i transferred BTC (from Localbitcoin to my personal wallet) it seemed almost instantaneus. Obviously wasn't really looking at it (And I'm too lazy to go check now) but it was fast, in the order of seconds.
And credit cards - so far - allow to send money in 1 diurection only, plus merchant's costs are way too high compared to BTC.
Thought companies like Revolut are trying to change that.

Hire Smart People and Let Them Tell You What to Do
all i could think of is "stop writing python". it seems to me that a lot of these problems are fundamental problems with python. i continue to not understand why anybody likes python the language.

the fact that creating a function with lambda versus the normal way is different is bonkers. for example, in f# (and other sane languages), the following are identical:

let test1 = fun x -> x * x

let test2 x = x * x

both return:

x:int -> int

are they really different in python or is it just a weird naming problem? the article isn't explicit on the actual differences other than what is reported by the REPL.

also, you can't pass operators as functions in python? in f#, you simply wrap them in parentheses.

let test3 f x y = f x y

> test3 (*) 2 3 ;;

val it : int = 6

i read an interview with hal abelson where he called python's lambda broken. seems so.

edit: also, this guy's thoughts on map and filter, in my opinion, show the python community's backwoods thinking regarding functional programming. yes, it seems generator expressions are nice (they are called sequence expressions in f#), but map and filter, even for his simple examples are much more clear. they communicate better what is actually happening. the fact that he never uses map and filter at all and then goes on to basically say map and filter aren't even needed in python says a lot.

I have never seen a code that wasn't made clearer when moving from a three-liner non-lambda somewhere upper in the code, to a one-liner lambda used at the right place
Faster and Cheaper for Bitcoin? If you use offchain, its actually incredible. (Shift Debit cards and Coinbase email are free and instant)

Onchain is a disaster for literally every blockchain that exists. Nothing is scaling. (maybe DAG, but that is not blockchain)

You need to understand the mindset of bitcoiners. There are 21,000,000 Bitcoin ever ever ever. The government only prints more money. Bitcoin is already accepted around the world.

Its supposed to free us from government currency.

The whole article, and his reasoning, reminded me of PG's Blub programmer. Seems like a perfect example. (that being said, lambdas in Python are rather lame, though not for the reasons he wrote about)
Google treat consumer products differently to commercial services and Open Source projects. If there is a significant breaking change I suspect that they will handle it more like they handled the Angular 1 transition, where they monitored demand, and then provided a sunset period.

This assumes that Go 2 does have significant breaking changes, which the Go team have explicitly said that they do not want to do. The current view seems to be that they will feed new features into Go 1 releases as opt-ins, in the same ways that modules is an opt-in feature that will become opt-out in some future Go 1 release.
There are quite a few features but to me you can get pretty far learning somewhat gradually.

Threading is in the manual which is linked on the documentation page.

Async stuff is documented in modules like https://nim-lang.org/docs/asyncdispatch.html
That would be entirely up to the maintainers of Mercurial if they would distribute pre-built packages for Solaris 10. If you're concerned, you'd be better off making the case to them to do just that.

Wow nice thank you for pointing it out!
All cool stuff.

I really wish I could find some tutorials or even examples/real users of partisan though.

Anyone here got any ideas where I could find such a thing? There was a PDF paper a while ago on it, which, if I recall correctly mentioned a forked riak (core? kv? can't remember) where they substituted partisan over normal erlang dist but I never located the code for it either.

Edit: Looks like there's a newish lasp process reg project (lasp_pg) which has a full partisan setup.

I had a similar experience the last time I was in a Kmart. No employees, no other customers, empty shelves. Go to the electronics department and you'll find games for systems that were obsolete a decade ago. I don't understand how they've managed to stay open so long.
I mostly manage my device setups with CLI/webfig. Sometimes winbox in wine as it is a little more reliable in mac-telnet then 'non-official' clients. But I long for some centralised configuration management. Even on small networks. Its just nice to come back to a complete overview instead of spread out configuration and out-of-date documentation for stuff you did months back for a friend or family. I don't know if Ubnt will fill this need, but what I've been hearing about it should.
More people should see this!

A couple of interesting points to consider when thinking about putting a base on the Moon:

"Each Apollo mission increased the mass of the lunar atmosphere by about 30%, and it took several weeks for the atmosphere to return to its natural state. Highly sensitive measurement or communication instruments may be affected by the additional atmospheric particles." [1]

"Studies have also revealed that the balance is very delicate. At present, the solar wind sweeps the lunar atmosphere into space very efficiently, limiting its density to that of a collisionless gas (an exosphere). If the atmosphere were, however, a factor of just 1000 denser, this process would invert itself and the atmosphere would remain stable for tens of thousands of years. Just the Apollo missions to the Moon increased the atmospheric density by a factor of 10 with rocket exhaust (mostly CHON compounds). Large scale human activity on the Moon could push the total mass over the limit and create an artificial atmosphere, pushing the Exobase off the surface and creating a stable, if highly tenuous atmosphere which could threaten precisely the most important asset that the Moon can offer us: its sterility and almost atmosphereless nature."

Amen, brother. I'm not proficient in Python, but from my (admittedly, limited) experience with it, it feels like programming with a straightjacket on.
My brother manages a Menards (midwest variant of Home Depot/Lowes) and they sell a surprising number of kit homes (~5/month in a marked of ~1/4million).

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the main market seems to be immigrants, poor credit history makes a traditional mortgage unattainable.

The first two situations where he recommends avoiding lambda I would agree with. But when he assigns `colors_by_length`, that's a perfectly valid usage of lambda. It's actually an ideal example of why it exists. His `length_and_alphabetical` is not an improvement. The tuple unpacking is something that destructuring in lambda syntax would improve, as it did with JavaScript. In ES6 it would be:

const points = [[[1, 2], 'red'], [[3, 4], 'green']]
const points_by_color = points
.sort(([point, color]) => color)

I know it's kind of futile to argue against a point using what-ifs, but personally I wish Python embraced this style of functional programming a little bit more and adapted its syntax to it, rather than coming across articles where people recommend against this style just because the language isn't (currently) as suitable to it.
That actually seems like a relatively minor complaint on the order of submitting a pull request to an existing fairly good project (as is pgFormatter) rather than coming up with standard 15 for SQL formatting in a new tool. An option where, if the column text doesn't overrun a column limit, is single line and then split once it does overrun doesn't sound like a bad feature, but it does sound like a small one.

(addition) More than anything that's wrong with all of these formatters for SQL is that there real consensus for what good formatting is. There are historical norms for sure, and that's likely a starting point, but reconciliation between the communities around each database vendor (and sometimes each company developing with that database) make that a difficult challenge. So this new tool will become the CockroachDB formatter, pgFormatter is as far as I know the most popular PostgreSQL formatter, other databases your mileage will vary. Each not really an SQL formatter, but an SQL formatter for (stick affinity here). For CockroachDB, I'm not sure how much payoff there is for moving away from the more popular tool for Postgres if they're stressing their similarity to PostgreSQL SQL.
Whats the pain point that "blocked by" is trying to solve? Let's say the google analytics or marketo munchkin scripts are blocked by Ad Blocker, what's the marketing team supposed to do?
Many of the suggested alternatives to lambdas in the article are non-imperative though... they just don't use 'lambda'.
Depends on what the moon missions are. Building moon-specific infrastructure (ie adapting things to 14 day long light / dark cycles, 0.3g) would be a distraction. Using it as a close - by testing ground probably doesn't matter except it had the upside of possible getting people excited.

For example, spacex wants to test the BFS. They could send it on a wide orbit 2 days away, or they could orbit around the moon instead. Going for the moon is probably only slightly different (ie different orbit insertion) but other than that it would be the same, except awesome pics/video.
Probably that the Bitcoin ledger itself will be more akin to a ledger of inter-bank transfers than to VisaNet. Visa processes 5,000 transactions per second, but they only actually move money between banks to settle those transactions once a day, 5 days a week. Visa-like products can be built on top of Bitcoin or other digital currencies rather than people exchanging the coins directly.

It's interesting, in a purely personal way, that this article was posted today. I've used computers and other tech daily since childhood and never had issues with wrist/hand/arm/finger pain or numbness. However, over the past few weeks I have been experiencing wrist and forearm pain at night, and today is the first day I've experienced it early in the day. I just purchased some wrist braces on amazon because I've read that they can help. Any other solutions that people recommend for similar issues?
In F#, can you ask a function object what its original name was? If so, what is the original name of "test1" and "test2" in your example?

That's what python is doing and why the two are different.

First I'd like to iterate that I am not trying to convince anyone to share or understand my views on this, I'm only posting this because you asked the question. I have some conflicting and sometimes contradictory feelings on animals in captivity in general and tend to lean against captivity in the majority of cases.

Personally I feel better about keeping dogs in captivity than fish. Dogs are domesticated and want to be around us. Not only that but they can be around us fully, as opposed to sitting in a box for their entire life. They love and care for us in their own way, are very in tune with our emotions (and we with theirs), and have evolved to live alongside us (if one chooses the appropriate kind of dog for them). Where I live the laws on keeping dogs are more strict than some countries, and dogs enjoy a lot of access with their owners. They can't be left alone for more than a few hours at a time, so if a person is to keep a dog they either take it (almost) everywhere with them or sign up for dog daycare where the dog gets to spend the work day playing with other dogs and humans. I think dogs are in tune with us enough to be legitimately happy, and life alongside humans has become the "natural habitat" for many types of dogs (again assuming one chooses the appropriate dog).

Nobody really likes Python the language especially much, but lots of people love Python the ecosystem, because it lets them get stuff done. I can think of a dozen languages I like better than Python, but none that's more practical in as many different contexts.

--------------------

Edit: Apparently, there are some people who do like Python the language, and some people who dislike Python the ecosystem. If you want to find a thing, just say it doesn't exist, and it will find you.

> I’d say that using lambda expressions is acceptable only if your situation meets all four of these criteria:

> 1. The operation you’re doing is trivial: the function doesn’t deserve a name

Sure.

> 2. Having a lambda expression makes your code more understandable than the function names you can think of

This is just vague. Locally defining a function right where you need it makes code much more understandable to me more often than the wacky names people often come up with. Naming things is hard!

> 3. You’re pretty sure there’s not already a function that does what you’re looking for

So the reader of the code has to know what that built-in function does. How is that much different than expecting the reader to know what a lambda is?

> 4. Everyone on your team understands lambda expressions and you’ve all agreed to use them

Or just use them and have the members of your team better themselves by learning a useful language feature.

---

In my experience, names lie--functions don't. If a developer isn't going to spend the time to write a nice comment, they aren't going to use a comprehensible naming convention. In trivial cases where naming is easy, the lambda is also usually very easy to parse.
Do you do this incrementally? Or just grab everything every time? If the former, I'd be interested to hear how you go about it :-)

edit: actually, scratch the 'if', I'd be interested to hear the rough shape of your script anyway!
I guess the same can be said for AMD's x86_64 CPU's? Still it's fair to compare them to Intel x86_64 CPU's. The big difference is that ARM has something like a reference design where Intel doesn't want to share anything if they don't have to.

Centralized hosting is bad for both parties, the service provider because they have some responsibility for the content, and the author risking false positive take-downs.
Good news is that you can get 1 TB bandwidth for $1 /month, so hosting it yourself is both fun and cheap.
One of the python motto's is "explicit is better than implicit". Not having to pattern-parse the structures makes programs much easier to read for some people (lke me).

But the point is, even with f# syntax, most of the blog post would still apply (needless function calls, non-trivial functions, multiline-unpacking and so on)

I do not agree with some of the premises of this post, but saying that changing lambda syntax will somehow help is just not true.

> This works for cars because cars are too big to be easily concealable

Drones in the skies aren't necessarily easily concealable either. If they are requires to have some sort of identifier (RFID), it's not too hard to check what's in the skies, or note what's lower around points of interest.

Both cars and drones are fairly easily transported by other vehicles. Cars may require a trailer, open or enclosed, but it's hardly rare to see. Drones are slightly easier to transport in that respect, but not enough that I think it makes a difference.
