Have you tried pypy? I got about 2x of C performance for a simulated annealing problem I was working on recently. Ultimately what I realized was that the clever python structures that made prototyping fast were inherently slow (dicts with tuple keys, etc). Once I ported it to C, then went back to python and used the same simple data structures, pypy was practically just as fast as C.

I used to work on routers that essentially ran embedded linux inside and our new projects started all being c++ after a while. It's amazing after the switch to c++, we basically stopped ever seeing string/array related segmentation faults now that developers use std string/vector/etc by default. Yeah, it's more resource expensive, but we have plenty of RAM now on these boards and it's totally worth not having a maintenence nightmare like our legacy C projects which I swear get a new bug report every other month about a newly discovered string/array-related segmentation fault (I'm not saying C++ can't ever be a maintenance nightmare, to be clear, but as far as memory related issues go, they disappeared the moment we started using std library).
My understanding is that Gibson's The Sprawl was the result of technical megacorps and their unrestricted growth under hypercapitalism, a pretty common cyberpunk theme. The Chinese version is created in forms of executive order, nowhere close to Gibson's prospective, but regardless, the end-result is quite identical and cyberpunkish, pretty interesting.

Here comes an inverse take.

I used to believe what you believe... Before I started working. I couldn't imagine getting up before 9 every day and go to work, get home around 5, and repeat that every day.

Now that I've actually started working, I've completely changed. I took a week off to play Classic, but I was tearing my eyes out after three days, bored out of my mind. Now I feel like I can never see myself retiring without going completely insane.

If we want to stop undocumented workers from fueling a race to the bottom in unskilled labor markets, we should make more than a token effort to go after the business owners who employ them, and impose meaningful punishments to deter others. This is just another example of the gross hypocrisy of the GOP: it's well documented at this point that businesses owned by their top man make a habit of employing undocumented workers.

We won't fix anything without accountability, and there are two sides to supply and demand. What we're doing now is theater.

> What did Thomas Drake leak that wasn't supposed to be leaked?

He leaked information classified as "secret". Additionally he leaked unclassified information of which some of it was classified as "Unclassified—For Official Use Only" which means it is not supposed to be given to the public and is intended for internal or law enforcement use only.

> Kiriakou in fact stepped forward in December 2007. The Justice Department under Bush did not pursue him, and it was explicitly the Justice Department under the Obama administration that did so.

I'm not going to disagree here. For whatever reason, the CIA brought this case back in 2012 and asked for it to be pursued.

>Similarly, Jeffrey Alexander Sterling was in contact with a journalist during the period 2002--2004 (for a book published in January 2006), but his prosecution was also led by the Obama administration.

The Bush administration sent (the journalist) James Risen a subpoena on January 24, 2008. The leak investigation surrounding Sterling didn't come to a culmination until 2010. The investigation started in 2003, under Bush.
That sucks. Personally, I would try to just do less, without asking. On call? Don't answer. They probably won't fire you if they're running like that because there will be no way to replace you. And if they do fire you, oh well, you were planning on quitting that job anyway. I would spend most of my time at that place applying to greener pastures. Interview during lunch, come back like an hour late, just tell them car trouble or something. There's no reason not to lie to people that abuse you.

I’ve been thinking about bike vs scooter a lot lately too. Austin is overrun with scooters and I used them for a little while before finding the electric Uber Jump bikes. They seem superior to scooters in every way in Austin, which makes the 20:1 ratio of scooters to bikes a bit baffling.

But I can see your point in SF where I use to walk 5 blocks from my apartment to the muni train and then another five blocks from the train to the office. Scooters would have been ideal there.

The e-bikes have one massive advantage in Austin - you can take them on the Butler Trail that runs the width of the Austin along the river. You can get almost anywhere of interest very quickly on one of the jump bikes.

There’s also no useful bus or train transport in Austin (I thought SF was bad) so you’re not using the small transport to move small distances between larger transport as often.
I think I independently found that article right as you were replying. It's definitely a plausible connection.
I'll quote myself, "I'm not pretending that the sitting president's policy decisions and other influences don't have an effect. But inherited legacy, context, and the surrounding details play a huge role in how these things play out."

The point being, there are often things initiated by past presidents that come to a head within the time the sitting president is in office. How the situations that arise are handled absolutely reflects on the sitting administration. But people who ignore the history and legacy surrounding those situations because it feels good to take a shot at an administration that has a letter after it (be it R or D) that a person doesn't identify with is overly simplistic.

There were a lot of things the Obama administration did that I do not agree with. Specifically, the use of drone strikes, how the ACA was handled (albeit a lot of players were involved), continuing revolving door policies, and more.

PEP 603: Adding persistent mapping type to Python

Thanks for elaborating, that's all interesting.

> Well it isn't built-in, so that's an obstacle to its use right there.

Yeah, no doubt.

> You also have to rely on two sets of developers to ensure you can stay up-to-date, and this introduces more potential for errors and bugs.

[Edit: Some of] The maintainers of mypy are python core developers, so it's not quite two sets of developers. :-)

> Another problem is that systems like MyPy require you to actually write the type hints in a lot of places. Manifest type systems are not favored because requiring users to write more is almost never something they're happy with.

One of the benefits of optional typing is we can automatically add type annotations from runtime observation. Then we get the documentation benefits of typing without the work of writing them. https://monkeytype.readthedocs.io is a good tool for this.

> (I think I've also seen some indication that they're working to extend type hints to support structural types, but last I checked it wasn't right around the corner or anything.)

Mypy supports structural subtyping currently. It's extremely useful. https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/protocols.html
Can't get past reading the headline because my BS alarm goes off when I hear "healthier" or "health food."

I have always thought of "health food" as a marketing term selling a lifestyle to people who can afford to pay for premium branded packaged stuff in a grocery store.

If you get past the headline (I peaked), the next thing you see is a KFC bucket. Do people walk into a fast food restaurant thinking they are going to get anything healthy?
Landlords love to reserve the right to increase their prices.

Maybe inflation gets crazy, maybe taxes increase, maybe maintenance turns out to be more expensive, maybe they realize they've been underpricing, maybe they sell the property to someone who has the same reasons.

If you tell them that you will limit their freedom to choose the rent price, they will try to retain as much freedom as they can.

> good natural light conditions

So many of us are stuck in situations of bad fluorescent light or worse.

The biggest benefits of dark modes are on OLED screens, such as most "flagship" handheld computers these days. On a modern OLED, a black pixel may be entirely unlit, which entirely reduces the amount of light being fired at your retinas during your screen hours. It's also a small power savings when multiplied by lots of unlit pixels across a day.

But at the end of the day, it's also just aesthetic choice. Some people like the Batman approach of paint everything as black and dark as possible. It's okay for people to have a variety of tastes, and nice that "Dark Mode" frenzy has increased options across every platform (whether or not you think you want or need such options).
conda / miniconda has definitely solved most of my grievances with deploying python applications
> Honestly, by trusting that those objects conform to what things are documented to expect and using operations that will naturally raise an error for unexpected cases.

Which is really hit or miss in the wild. Even the standard library documentation doesn't reliably document types. There are abundant references to "file-like objects" as though that is a type. It is (or at least was) totally unclear if a "file-like object" supports seek() or just read() and write(). Our internal Python code is a mess as well; we can't keep documentation up to date with function signatures (even though it's part of our code review process).

As someone who develops primarily in Python, I think you're missing out on quite a lot if you think C++ is a good characterization of the state of static typing. Having used Python and Go and a few other languages, I'm convinced that static typing is more productive when it's done well.
> I like watching the Cambrian Explosion of electric vehicles unfolding in China now, though it seems like a lot of them will not last.

Most of the companies probably won't, but the changes to the market place will. Everyone is used to quiet comfortable electric small vehicles now.

Watching hundreds of mothers swarm a school to pick their kids up on electric motor scooters really drilled that home for me. Especially contrasting that to the utter nightmare in America of a similar number of swarming SUVs! American schools end up wasting space for "pick-up zones", in contrast it isn't even a concept in China, an electric motor scooter is what, 4x-5x as space efficient?

Why not go full Pascal strings, and go for 8 bit?

The good thing about 64 bit lengths is you never need to worry about overflowing the string. The bad thing is no one know what to do, or codes for the possibility of the string overflowing. 8 bits 'should' avoid people making that assumption.

Good question. I just presented it here the way it was given to me, as a couple initial terms and some rules on how it evolves, because I find that to be the easiest way to remember it.

The actual formula looks much less friendly (because it's tricky to write "the product of the first n odd integers"), but it's a good exercise for those who are inclined.

The class I wrote has a non-default constructor and destructor.

The idiomatic way to write your class is just:

class foo { };

allowing the compiler to supply the default constructor and destructor.

The purpose of the C++11 default mechanism is to request a default implementation of a special function in situations when it would be suppressed. For instance

class foo {
public:
foo(int x); // this will suppress the default constructor
foo() = default; // this requests it back
};

> The article isn't saying that. It's in quotes becuase they are reporting the words of someone they've deemed to be a reputable source for the topic of standard administration behavior.

Very good point. My claim: "Stating speculation as fact...." itself could be described as sloppy. To clarify: factually, Politico is printing the words of a third party - it is a fact (presumably) that this person made that statement. The statement itself is speculation stated as fact, but the speaker bears the direct guilt for that, not Politico.

But I'm not pointing my finger so much at Politico for some sort of outrageous bias, in general or in this particular case, but rather the general way that events in reality are communicated to the public, and the way in which this subsequently manifests in society. Even if nothing nefarious has gone on, people perceive reality and the news the way they do (the specifics of which no one fully understands), and I'm suggesting (based largely on observation of apparent beliefs held by people in forums) that narrative and rumor based reporting like this is having a possibly very serious effect on people's perception of reality, the result being some degree of textbook mass delusion or worse in the public, where prior to cable news and the internet the beliefs would generally have been either null or wrong in other ways.
Asymetrical is not an essential part of the definition, but the fact that it consists of individual pacts. That's different from modern labour in that employer-employee relation has certain rights for the employee recognized because it's a one to many, powerful to powerless... considered individually, while with these rights recognized there's collective bargaining and government-mandated clauses.

The feudalism term clearly seems to be introduced because of that, not because something's good or bad or whatever, but because it's atomizing labour relations.
Sure, if your targeted attacker has managed to compromise Cloudflare first… Not exactly a trivial prerequisite. If you have any kind of VPN or Wi-Fi access to your network, those domain names are already leaking to other DNS providers whenever someone accidentally accesses a URL while on the wrong network.

Also, if your internal resources are using publicly trusted SSL certificates, the domain names are already being broadcast to the public thanks to Certificate Transparency. If you’re sophisticated enough to run a private CA for them, then you’re probably sophisticated enough to set up use-application-dns.net as well – though I still wouldn’t recommend ever treating domain name secrecy as a meaningful security boundary, considering how many ways they can be leaked. The remaining possibility is that your internal resources aren’t using SSL at all... in which case you have bigger problems than domain name leaks.
