No immutable vectors in Python? Are you not aware of tuples?

Lambdas in Python are quite limited, but offset by natural nested local functions.

Regarding performance, that's not always an issue, and depending on the use case can be addressed with async/await or using a multiprocessing pool. I have had issues with multiprocessing and some DB libs ib the past, but recently have had pretty good success.

Multithreading is still an issue because of the GIL (global interpreter lock) and really only useful if you're calling into a C/C++ lib that releases the lock while it does it's native things.

I've written a lot of Python in the last 15 years, and Ive written a ton of scripts that are faster than a well written identical C/C++/C# app, and was written in 1/10th of the time. It just depends on the use case.
Well, Jobs warned Dropbox years ago that they aren’t a product they are a feature.

I can pay $100 a year for Office 365 which includes all of the Office apps and 6TB of storage or pay the same price for just Dropbox.

And like you said, I’m fine with 50GB of storage.
> These functions are called by all Device objects when they are constructed and destroyed respectively. They allow the VFS to keep track of the available device objects so they can be opened through files in the /dev directory.

> Now, nobody except Device should ever be calling VFS::register_device() or VFS::unregister_device(),

Why?

Either have VFS call the constructor because non-registered devices are banned and RAII is good, or don't create arbitrary restrictions to hamstring how the rest of the system manages Devices.

There's a mere 100mhz difference in base clock. Which is what TDP is based off of. No where close to enough of a reduction to fully explain +50% cores at the same TDP

Not really no. You just need to understand it represents all core base frequency thermal design target, and not maximum power draw.

The short version: that's when Xi Jinping took power and started very quickly undoing all kinds of moves toward moderation and reform that had been undertaken by the previous few leaders.

He ramped up control over the population, consolidated power for himself and cracked down on dissidents/party criticism.

Owning a bike isn't really that good for commuting. I use Citibike to go to work and pretty much anywhere else they have Citibike docks. People always ask why I don't just buy a bike. I had a bike. It got stolen. If a Citibike gets stolen, that's not my problem. Moreover, I don't have to try to take it on the train, or carry it into a building, or find a place to park it outside where it won't get stolen or vandalized. I've seen people in my neighborhood with giant bolt cutters going after people's bikes. Then there's always flat tires, bent rims, brake pads, etc. maintenance cost. Why bother with that. Cars are really the same way. What's the point of owning a car? So you can drive out to Walmart somewhere and buy ten bags of stuff every two weeks? Just order it and have it delivered to your door instead.

I think the key thing here is that files can indeed be categorized in different ways, and could - and should - exist simultaneously in different collections with different structures.

I therefore think it'd be worth separating the concept of a "filesystem" from a "folder system" or "index system". That is: keep the file storage itself flat (e.g. in a relational database table), then have different categorical "views" that could be relational and/or hierarchical pointing to these files. Naturally, those collections will have their own sets of metadata for that file.

So for example, you have a file named "img-8675309.png" in your camera's storage. The operating system presents a view of said camera storage, in the form of a flat list of files and some basic metadata like creation date (plus perhaps camera-specific metadata if, say, the camera driver is the thing generating the view). You could then open up views for your 2019 Bavaria vacation ("Vacations" → "Bavaria 2019" → "Photos") and your dog ("Pets" → "Fido" → "Photos"), set a sorting field for each view (for the vacation, probably chronological; for your dog, by however you define "best"), drag/drop the camera file into those views (in the latter case, maybe even drag it into the spot where you want it to show up ranking-wise), and the operating system would then add references to that file automatically (almost certainly copying it into a local cache) in both your opened views and potentially in some system-maintained views (e.g. "Local Files" → "Photos").

One of the slick things here is that file access could be entirely transparent to how those files are stored. For example, those views will of course include your device's internal storage, but might also include external devices (like the camera in the above example) or even remote services (like, say, your social media account). If you accidentally delete your prized Fido photo on your local machine, the "Pets" → "Fido" → "Photos" view could still have a reference to the copy on the camera, or a copy in your social media posts, or a copy in the system backup that automatically ran last Sunday, and thus retrieve it and re-cache it locally (or prompt you to plug your camera or your external USB drive back in so it can check there).

Ask HN: How do you hire for drive?
I've hired quite a few people over my career and one of the most challenging attributes to hire for is drive or proactiveness. In my mind, this is the most important criteria that separates a great employee from just an okay one. Do they have internal drive? Will they proactively seek out opportunities and solve problems? Will they be an independent thinker and own their area of work? For the hiring managers out there, how do you screen for "drive"? I'd appreciate hearing your tips and advice. Thank you!

> * lack of immutable vectors, alleviated via style conventions

Note that mypy/typed python fixes this: if you annotate a function as returning (or accepting) a Sequence/Collection/Iterable instead of a List, and attempt to mutate it, you'll get type errors. This is good practice anyway.

If everyone else is incorporating recaptcha, they're all running faster than you. Even with bypass services, cheap is not the same as free, especially at the scale spam runs at. I imagine a mail form that obviously doesn't incorporate a CAPTCHA is going to garner some attention. It might work for weeks or months if it's not being paid attention to, so that's probably worth them spending a few minutes looking at.

My third sentence is very poorly constructed. I'm basically annoyed that economics acts like it understands everything that occurs in the world via game theory, efficiency of energy, as if their study is as fundamental as physics, but at the same time pretends the consequences of its implementation in the political and practical spheres don't exist because their study can't quantify them.

How does economics quantify the extinction of a species? In the nihilistic sense if humanity goes extinct, what is the economic impact of that? What is the value of a human life lost in mass displacements of global warming? What is the value of humanity?

It doesn't answer these questions. It can't. The real answer is that economics is a means for the powerful to rationalize their positions, and ignore their devastation.

Yeah, the IRS doesn't care.

I wrote to Chase on their 'secure message portal', which feels like it is straight out of 1995. I told them I'm out of the country and cannot send mail.

I told them that I am rejecting the agreement to arbitrate. I also said that since their message portal feels official, this would be what I would use as proof of my opt out in court, if the need arises. I saved some screenshots as well.

They have updated me once already to say that they are still working on a response.
The answer to your question would be yes. Your electronic signature, printed out and transformed to a different medium, is still a valid signature.

The whole point of the act is to say that clicking a button on a computer to make a signature that is valid. That it later gets transmitted in some other form is irrelevant.

If i create and print out a docusigned document and mail it, it is still a personally written and signed document.

It is no different if I fill out a form that makes a document for me and click a button to sign it.

>...controlling language can control thought, but maybe that is something still to come.

Over the last couple of years, I've been collecting passages that touch on this point. I'm always surprised when I come across them. Two of my favorites that I've randomly come across (and from non-political books):

>It would be in the interest of kings, czars, nobles, and so forth that the masses be educated in a way that renders them slavelike in mentality. The language of wrongness, should, and have to is perfectly suited for this purpose: the more people are trained to think in terms of moralistic judgments that imply wrongness and badness, the more they are being trained to look outside themselves—to outside authorities—for the definition of what constitutes right, wrong, good, and bad. When we are in contact with our feelings and needs, we humans no longer make good slaves and underlings. [0]

>...the very media we have mentioned are so designed as to make thinking seem unnecessary (though this is only an appearance). The packaging of intellectual positions and views is one of the most active enterprises of some of the best minds of our day. The viewer of television, the listener to radio, the reader of magazines, is presented with a whole complex of elements — all the way from ingenious rhetoric to carefully selected data and statistics — to make it easy from him to “make up his own mind” with the minimum of difficulty and effort. But the packaging is often done so effectively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a cassette into a cassette player. He then pushes a button and “plays back” the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so. He has performed acceptably without having had to think. [1]

I used to carefully design my C++ code with public / private / protected / friend (and the pointer-to-impl pattern for "compile time private") but a few years ago I started doing everything all-public ala python (struct instead of class by default) with occasionally an m_ prefix for "intended to be private", and I've never looked back. It's been great, made my programming life much easier.

This badge thing is clever, but seems like yet more accidental/unnecessary complexity on top of the already-probably-unnecessary private/protected/friend - as requirements change you now have this extra layer of access-control cruft to reason about, that you probably wouldn't even miss if it didn't exist.

Not to get too ranty, and no disrespect to Andreas, but the C++ culture seems to thrive in unnecessary / accidental complexity, deep template hacks and the like that add friction to refactoring, obfuscate underlying logic so you miss opportunities to simplify, and turn straightforward programming problems into brain-bending template puzzles.

OOP also; I've seen so many crazy class architectures that could just be a handful of plain-old-functions, complex virutal "type families" that could just be a TypeOfThingThisIs enum with some if statements in the respective functions, etc.

I don't know the Serenity codebase and use-case very well, and perhaps this kind of thing has a place in large libraries, but honestly even then I'd lean towards just making everything simple & public and use a prefix when needed, or describe appropriate usage in documentation. Seems to work in the python world (minus a few outlier codebases that go OOP-crazy).
It's the same inane naysaying that pops up on anything about environmental concerns. "Look those other people are bad too, therefore we don't have to improve".
