I meant the inside of a VM (its implementation), which is coded in C/RPython. Java's VM is coded in C++, but I don't think C++ is used for any regular library functions, while C is used heavily for Python's stdlib.

I have this same experience in python.

In Java, I did this a lot less because I could rely on the type of the interface to know what I was going to get back from the function call (with the caveat it might be null). I knew exactly what the type of the arguments needed to be.

You generally don't have that in python. Without extensive documentation (if you are lucky some newer code may make use of type annotations) you just have no idea with some interfaces what needs to be passed and what you will receive. Even with extensive documentation, the majority of well documented libraries are all documented in a different way and getting the same answers that the java method signature gives can be a confusing experience.

The tendency of functions to mask the signature of the method they simplify a call to by simply declaring args, *kwargs also makes it a bit annoying to discover the true type signature outside of a debugger.

Also, you get back a dict or a tuple... but what is in it?

Eh, as a non-IDE user myself, I think you’re being a bit harsh as I don’t think that was the spirit of the author’s comment at all. In fact I found it to ring quite true and if there was any name-calling, I certainly did not feel offended. The fact is there is a certain luddite-esque aesthetic to working in a simple modal editor like Vim (or Emacs in your case) and everyone invents their own dogma to follow, to a certain extent. I happen to find that there is merit in using simple tools, and latent benefits like really getting to know a code-base in a way that predictive fuzzy autocompletion will not allow me to do. There is no global optima when it comes to people’s workflows, just individuals finding what works best for them.

Same here. Microdosing seems like a waste of LSD. On a full hit you at least get some strange ideas and it is a fun trip overall. That being said, for me personally as far as productivity goes, 2-3 days after the trip are the best.

Modafinil is much better suited for productivity. But it fucks up my routine and temper.

I do not use any dedicated IDE, I use my system (Linux) as an IDE: vim for editing, multiple terminal windows for various tasks (compilation, debugging, running grep, find, sed). This is merely a practical choice, backed by experience in various environments.

When I was using DOS, which does not have any of these facilities, then an IDE was indeed a great choice.
Perhaps, but that doesn't mean you aren't damaging the community as well, and only that damage is within your control to stop.

As someone who was also on the internet already in the early 90s (I expect there are many of us here), I've long found it interesting how much of a social shift it's undergone. In the 90s I had online friends that I had never met in person, through various kinds of online games or interest groups. Agora Nomic, the CONLANG/AUXLANG mailing lists, rec.arts.int-fiction, the list goes on. I learned a lot about the world and about people different than me—the line in the OP article about diverse countries and religions felt deeply familiar to me for this reason.

But, in 2019, I don't really have anything like that anymore. The internet's a bigger place, but my corner of it feels somehow smaller. With very rare exception, I don't accept friends on FB unless I've met them in person. Sites that I actively participate on are either very large (so they might be diverse but aren't small-group-of-friends-y) or very small and comprised entirely of people I already knew irl.

Time marches on and the world changes, I know. But when I reflect on this line of consideration, it really feels like the internet didn't live up to its promises.

From what I understand, Normandy is an infrastructure for delivery of some changes to some of Firefox users (or all of them). There are two major use cases: preferences rollout and studies. In the first case default values of preferences get changed (if your pref has non-default value, it won't affect you). In case of studies some piece of code gets delivered and executed, which cat do anything. In this hotfix the study installs add-on, which in turn installs certificate.

>"Although no evidence of the veracity of Witkowski’s statements has been produced, they reached a wider audience when they were retold by British author Nick Cook, who added his own views to Witkowski’s statements in The Hunt for Zero Point.[4]"

The WW2 "Bell" experiment narrative was actually my largest complaint with Cook's book. While it makes for a fantastic story that's pretty much screenplay material, it's very unlikely to be true.

In the US as a freelancer, you generally either:

(a) Have a plan bought on an ACA marketplace (pretty expensive and not very good)

(b) After you leave a full-time job, a government program called COBRA means you can still maintain your relationship with your old health care provider for 18 months, except you have to pay all the premiums your employer formerly paid (generally better coverage than an ACA plan, but way more expensive)

(c) Have a spouse whose plan you can be on, or be on your parents' plan if you're under 26

It's not great.
Can confirm. In fact, you can get talented people starting at 70k. Hire some remotes. Most local companies can only offer non-inspiring typical enterprise work, and that's why you can get people at such low cost.
I'm russian. And for me this article sounds completely idiotic - phage research was always ongoing in SU and literally everyone is aware of the alternative to antibiotics. At the moment there are lab networks available across all the modern russia where you may take a test and find a best phage to your bacterias. One of several mass-produced phages.

Moreover, if you dig into soviet medicine, you may find several awesome things. At the moment there are _two_ widely available st.aureus vaccines in russia. For those who work with farm animals. These vaccines may be used for both prevention and treatment. I've used them for myself to treat multiple-antibiotic resistant st.aureus infection and got rid of it.

The other interesting thing is a synhetic analogue of thymopoietin - an incredible immune stimulant which may in multiple cases help you to deal with an infection without antibiotics.

Unfortunately, russian doctors are idiots and russian medicine is almost dead and noone is interested in any stuff from there.

I, personally, regret that we didn't hear any news about epimerox - that only substance would solve 80% of our problems with bacterias, including multi-resistent ones.

Reading the comments here, it pains me that after all this time, the tech community still doesn't see that they're not like everyone else.

No. The answer simply cannot be 'better performing' tech that does the same thing. People are different. There's no talk of the "experience" that these games or tools give their users that would compel them to stay, considering the escalating war for their attention from everything ranging from modern consoles and the amazing storylines the games there have to those short bursts of attention grabbing content from "Content creators" on IG/YT/Tik-tok.

The hardware specs are just one part of the puzzle and you're going to have an incredibly hard time convincing the average person to spend any time organically just because the hardware "allows" some sort of superior perf.

Can i play my PS4/Xbox library on this? Give me a benchmark to something i love and stop pushing me towards a nerd ideal of what you think i should do with the tech. I wonder how hard it would be to adapt existing open world/ First person games like Assasins creed or GTA V to output here? Maybe hack in an external GPU for those platforms while we're at it so it can handle the load. . . MSFT already has a tie up with Oculus and Sony would be happy to for a few billion (That FB, Oculus' parent has lying around)

Once you show gamers that what they're doing at present pales in comparison to what you're offering here, it's going to be hard to get them to go back to the sub optimal standard. That's not going to happen or is going to be much harder by trying to get them to abandon what they're doing right now in favor of a completely new platform with nothing from what they're used to.

What languages (and industry) do you work in these days? Genuinely curious.
Right, because everyone knows that smoking is a totally objective, non-manipulated conversation about the simple facts of a straightforward situation.

In both cases, powerful parties have a huge incentive to use semantics to excuse the blame that should rightfully be placed at their feet.

Which is why it's outrageous to use the phrase "respiratory failure" to imply that this is clickbait and not a real issue.

I know a guy who was "microdosing" acid. He started small, but in the end was taking a couple of tabs a day, I guess trying to chase the enhancements. He was also smoking a bunch of weed at the same time.

It cooked his brain and he's lucky he didn't end up in a psych ward. He's stopped now (not by choice) and he's slowly coming back to normal.

I'm not writing this to dissuade people from microdosing, or from drugs in general (I'd be a massive hypocrite if I did). But to note that when left up to their own devices with drugs, some otherwise incredibly intelligent people will fall victim to the drugs. I've seen people (a lot who should've known better) get wiped out by basically every different type of drug. Weed, alcohol, Xanax, MDMA, amphetamines, LSD, ketamine, etc.

HN likes to talk about the positive effects of drugs, which there are when used responsibly, but for a certain percentage of the population, they'll fall victim to their impulses. It's easy to say that if you make rules and stick to them you'll be fine, but when you start to form a habit, you start bending and breaking those rules.
I doubt google has certificates that run out automatically. Rather, the best way is with each signing to include signing the date and not allow the certificate to expire retroactively.

On the first glance, this is a modestly interesting bimetric theory of gravity, one of the many. These theories are usually considered valid science, not without issues, but at least offering some new insights. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetric_gravity.

On the other hand, this particular theory comes from this person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Petit. Even if it would have been a blinding light of scientific truth (and it isn’t), he would have a hard time convincing other scientists in its validity, because of his... other convictions.

Guess we might chalk that up to regional differences, around here employees have a wide range of possibilities (including paid apprenticeships that likely come close to what you have in mind) and switching industries afterwards is kind of rare, at least in mentally demanding positions.

I don't really see your side note happening here in Germany, for higher level positions dropping degree requirements is (in my experience) usually only done post factum if a fitting applicant happens to appear, usually with relevant experience instead. In my view that reflects a lack of formal education in the applicant pool more than it does changing requirements in the market.

This can go the other way too. As a student I “corrected” an initial film as it came out the film processor. The patient hadn’t been imaged before and they had dextrocardia. Basically I turned the film over and sent it for reporting with the left and right reversed.
The reporting radiologist noticed as the name tab, which used to be printed onto films, was on the opposite side to normal.

Imho, making it available via about:config switch would be entirely sufficient. There are dozens of settings that already affect security, like ssl handling, safe browsing, firstparty isolation, and tracking protection.

But where is the evidence that malware has ever switched off safebrowsing for example?

Your entire premise of extension signing and AMO store moderation rests on the premise that this is actually helpful for keeping extensions safe, but then you say nothing is safe.

There is only one gateway for malware to change the about:config settings in the first place, and that is through your signed extension process.

How safe should things be?

Edit: Maybe you could allow disabling the signing process via enterprise policies under the condition that the about:config settings are locked, which in my understanding would make it basically impossible for extensions to change anything. Would that help make it more secure?
No, the obligatory part leads to less competition, less market pressure, and therefore costs spiral. Our costs are almost on par with the US, and raise every year.
