"Dieter Rams designs were absolutely based on trends" - based on what observation? The trend at the time Mid-Century design with some influence from 30 year old Bauhaus movement.

"He was one of the best because he used an approach which was exploratory, multi-disciplined and human focused. (Tellingly, he was educated in interior design and architecture.)" - I agree, and that is my take as well.

"To suggest that graphic design is solved, is like saying a radio is solved. Technological changes coincide with changes in human understanding, taste, response and feedback." - I think I regret using the word "solved" (hence the quote marks), I think the correct take on this is that there are no major gaps to fill in International style. Vignelli, Paul Rand, Unimark International, Eliot Noyes, and countless others - they all explored the contours of design but only to realize that principles of International style serve almost every purpose and will continue to do so in future - with new technology, the principles don't change. Its application changes. Even today, design houses such as C&G&H continues to excel whist Pentagram is flopping around in New York trends. Paula Sher is an absolute disaster (See LOC redesign by Pentagram).

I don't mind good, well thought out constructive criticism, I would appreciate some more insight into your claims. "I love it when people make authoritative statements about design. Because everyone has an opinion about design, it must mean everyone is expert." is not the tone I'd like to see on HN. I shall also add that my initial comment was rather tongue-in-cheek rant, I should have been more objective and sound. :-)
The best part is how the headshot of the Justice is highlighted when he or she is speaking. It's great.

I learned, I'm allergic to plants so I looked it up. All this anti meat stuff is kinda scary to me and I'm afraid of depression and anxiety comming back so I might be biased.

There is something called anti-nutrients, they prevent you from absorbing minerals or if allergic use up your vitamins to battle inflammation.
There are lectins in peas. I don't know how much of the lectins will still be in there after the processing, but I'd avoid plant protein for that reason, exception might be avocado protein, but they're a waste of global resources if you can buy animal protein pasture raised locally.
Or if you care for the animals, insect protein might still be healthier, although it might require the supplementation of chitinase.
Originally small dynamic languages like Python and Javascript are constantly growing new language/stdlib features but rarely taking anything away. I wonder how this affects learnability, how long will it take for a programming newbie to be able to jump into an existing project or read other people's code. I guess this could be measured and studied, I wonder if someone has done it.

I think Python was probably at a pretty good local sweet spot in the complexity:power ratio around the 2.0 version.
Your not, but the gentlemen your replying to is. Bet you can’t guess where and what he worked on?
> I don't see a real reason for type annotations from my perspective (if I wanted typed I'd use a typed language, if I wanted types indicated I'd indicate in the doc strings).

I definitely get this perspective, but I actually use type annotations a lot. I do the vast majority of my Python development in PyCharm, and using type annotations greatly facilitates auto-complete features. It also helps me do some very simple debugging while writing, as the IDE will tell me "Hey! I don't think these types match up!", which is often enough to save me the headache of debugging.

Realistically, I just want Python but with a static type system. Which is why I'm implementing that as my own project haha.

> Also f-strings which I haven't used it.

Oh, dude, you gotta get on board with f-strings. They're soooo much simpler than the alternatives. Just skip learning `.format` and go straight to f-strings. I moved to f-strings when they first became available a few years ago and haven't looked back since.

Dataclasses are also great, IMO. I prefer algebraic data types in functional languages like Haskell or OCaml, but I think Python's dataclasses are a "good enough" solution for me to use in the meantime. I often define very simple data types and hate the default `__repr__` implementations and writing naive `__init__` functions. Dataclasses make all this much faster and, I think, more readable.
These alternative milks are mostly water though. I'd say things like pea-based burgers and chicken are more likely to have issues.

But, as you say, it's still progress.
One of the initial challenges facing scholars of comparative religion was the recognition that few societies had anything resembling an organised religion with a priestly hierarchy and a well defined theology. These kinds of spiritual practices, cults & mysteries are still religion -- which is to say, they are still the subject matter of the study of religion.
The thought of a distributed MySQL cluster accessed over various versions of WordPress-as-a-database-layer just makes me happy and confused.
The problem with this line of thinking is that you can't "put the toothpaste back in the tube". You might trust the authorities now, but once you give them the kind of technology that allows them to do the things you describe, they have that technology forever. Sooner or later, someone who you don't like will assume power, and may use that same technology against you or those you care about, in ways you haven't anticipated.

I'm not saying the technology wouldn't be amazingly useful in fighting the multiple rampant problems happening in SF (God I wish it were that easy, there is quite a lot I despise about living in SF). But the long-term impact of doing so would be unpredictable at best and catastrophic at worst.

I'm perfectly happy to believe Chinese hardware is riddled with backdoors. What didn't make sense to me is why Bloomberg was so adamant about this claim but never provided a single shred of evidence in support of it. If someone proved this to them why don't they have a compromised board they can publish pictures of and give to a third party for examination?
>we are entering the era of cloud-based streaming game platforms, like Stadia. The latency problems of the pre-CSP 90's will be rearing their heads again. Its going to be interesting to see how these same problems will be tackled

My take is that it'll be the a primary competitive point, nearly as important as the library available. Companies that can deliver the service without introducing these issues will succeed and ones that cannot will fail. If nobody can reliably crack it, cloud gaming won't take off.

Back in the 90s there was no viable competitor aside from LAN parties, and those weren't available to you every evening.

Any chance you could share your deck? It would be mighty helpful..
:-)
I'm leaning towards that something did happen at SuperMicro, but the FBI agents who were interviewed by Bloomberg lacked the technical knowledge to understand what happened or how it happened and thus did not convey an accurate view of the incident(s). Bloomberg decides to give the go-ahead on publishing this story despite providing zero provable evidence, which is still a poor demonstration of journalism integrity on their part. However I don't believe Bloomberg will use completely fabricated stories to smear anyone despite how suspect such acts seem. If they realize that they've been misled, the proper reaction should be making a disclaimer regarding the story containing misinfo. Apple/Amazon/SuperMicro also could have sued Bloomberg for defamation but none of them did, which means they don't have a strong enough case on hand.

I have this view because FBI agents have acted upon information they could not fully understand or analyze before, only to be proven wrong later e.g. the arrest and subsequent exoneration of Dr. Xi Xiaoxing.
Reflect not deflect :-)
> Data classes sounds good but there should be only one way to do things

Dataclasses greatly simplify generation of simple classes which are unnecessarily filled with boilerplate. I'd argue that they are the one way to do this, and that choosing to manually implement the same naive `__init__` function for every simple class you write is the "wrong" way.

(Here I take "simple class" to mean a class which takes in some values during initialization and stores them without anything terribly interesting going on during that initialization. A simple class can have methods defined on it, though.)

Genetics can certainly determine success in athletics.

But, what genetics? Predictably? I argue, no, not predictably, and quite possibly never predictably across populations.

Hence my overarching argument which is that "these attempts to 'figure out' genetic predispositions across populations are pointless."
Python is definitely heading down that dark path.

I wonder how many pythonistas are fully across all of the new syntax coming, like positional-only args or even the infamous assignment expression.

Most allergens are plants. There is even a fruit-vegetable syndrome. LTP syndromes are from proteins that are heat resistant and at times become even more allergenic after processing/cooking. Allergies to nuts are often life threatening.

I eat some pea protein products, like "Pea Milk" and some veggie burgers, but it always tastes like peas to me. OK in a burger, but not so much in milk.

It's a shame that wheat protein has been demonized. It's a very "neutral" protein, and can substitute for meat well.

I was an early employee at cloudera (first year, first dozen). I also committed to most of the Hadoop projects, including a commit bit.

- Hadoop was software done wrong. The tests took days to run and never passed. It was documented horribly.
- The open source companies all knee capped other.
- Hadoop destroyed Apache's rep.

cloudera taught me a lot about how not to build a team and a company. Although Mike Olson was the greatest ceo I ever worked for (as opposed to founding a company with) the rest of the company became horribly political. We brought in managers from Oracle. We had crazy personal projects that went out of control like kudu and impalla. It breaks my heart

I ended up talking to one of the original investors afterwords and found out cloudera was a boy band startup. By the time I was in the way out the cto was playing counterstrike every day as I was heading home.

To this day there's some amazing engineers there and I just don't understand why

I don't think it's the case that a language needs all of its syntactic sugar to be intuitive or obvious to the initiate. These are things you will acquire over time as you either search the internet for "how do I do X" or you read other people's code that exemplifies them.

Though I'd argue that anybody who adopts the "pythonista" label is likely to be somebody who looks through version release notes for these kinds of things. I certainly do!
How to do Type hinting with argument default values?
I agree. I have noticed there are a lot of people who really struggle when they are put out of their comfort zones of X framework in Y language working on mostly the same or similar code bases.

There are lots of companies that just need a guy who knows Spring design patterns or something, and they shouldn’t be giving tough algorithmic challenges, but at certain tech companies paying highly for people to work on very diverse sets of problems, many of which are technically complicated, it makes complete sense to prefer people with very strong fundamentals.

It's worse than that. Some of these flaws have been known for over a year already. Many vendors with implementation details of the fixes have said "full mitigation may require disabling hyperthreading".

Wtf does that mean exactly? Do the patches and microcode work or do they not? I expect the truth to come out as OSS maintainers come out of embargo and others analyze the patches. But it sure looks like VM's on your favorite cloud provider will still be vulnerable in some ways because they're not turning off HT.

Neither of those match the rather unsurprising answer I've heard before, which is that "mama" and "papa" are two of the simplest sounds babies can make and therefore two of the sounds babies are most likely to start making first as they learn to speak. And us parents naturally assume the baby is trying to talk to us when they start making sounds, so we latched onto "mama" and "papa" (or the various extremely similar sounds in other languages) as being the words the baby was using to refer to us.

Not quite right, it does use torrent trackers however on visiting a website you download and start seeding that website to other zeronet users.

So long as there is a tracker up and people seeding it people can access you're website.

There is a add to black list button for websites you find and don't want to seed.

There are restrictions in place for websites such as only having 10mb of space but you can grant it more should you want to from the UI.

Other than keeping a website a live by seeding you also get to access the website offline, and it will resync next time there is an internet connection

Ah, yes, I just meant they shouldn't focus on using `.format` and should instead just use f-strings directly. Didn't mean to imply that they were totally separate things, though that's definitely how my phrasing came across.
