had to check to make sure isinstance wasn't doing some magic, but yes. the whole issue is that as far as python is concerned, the pre- and post-reload Foo classes aren't related in any way except by name and module, which aren't checked by either of these methods

(aside: i know that `isinstance` is the official way, but i just don't like the way it reads – "x is an instance of y" is an infix construct and looks weird in a prefix position. i don't really use inheritance so `type(x) is y` is good enough, and it reads very naturally)
why don't they start putting fireworks ON drones to let them explode in special directions while they are already flying in formation. you can take a lot of the excess propellant out, and pack much more of the shiny colored flaming stuff to make for one hell of a precision directed fireworks display. this is so damn obvious to me , but no ones thought to do it yet.
Probably no one. This is very common, and you don't know why people trade futures, in the sense that you don't know why was this or that trade executed. A lot of that activity is institutions hedging their portfolios.

It's like when people get excited that someone buys a LOT of put options on, say, Apple. But you don't know that someone's portfolio! Perhaps they already own a ridiculous amount of Apple stock. And the option seller may instantly hedge by getting an appropriate amount of short AAPL.
Oh my god, it's so bad with the adblocker disabled. Does the author know?
Nice article. I don’t believe in free will, but I never liked that Libet experiment. So many tenuous connections had to be made to connect electrical signals with free will, and most of the time people didn’t even bother trying - they just asserted that because the impulse starts before you remember making a decision, you have no free will. That sounds like a non sequitur to me.
Literally never. The FAA doesn’t mess around with this stuff. Do you think they’d trust your average Joe, who can’t even manage to keep the oil in his car changed every 10,000 miles, to maintain a 10+lb flying machine that could fall on a child or damage property? Conventional aircraft have strict maintenance and inspection intervals that require a decade of experience to work on.

A thousand years was just an example of something that could make your argument above work, or at least not disprove it immediately. Your argument doesn’t currently work because gender preference distributions have been changing dramatically in the last hundred years, and they’re still changing. Recent history disproves the notion that current preferences, and the current discrepancies between the sexes, might be intrinsic.

I’m ignoring your ad hominem, but FWIW it weakens your argument because it demonstrates you didn’t understand mine. It has also become clear you didn’t fully understand my question. So, yes, you could keep restating that cultural differences exist or bringing up other irrelevant things like personality tests, and yes, that will continue to fail to show that intrinsic sex differences exist.
Expound on "some gates need to be kept." This forum comments on medical topics, finance, economics, and software. I'd argue that for the majority of people only the last one is something they are experts in.

You could've compared this to a brain surgeon among medical students, or even software engineers, something technical/noncreative.

Ask HN: Why is there this trend to remove/hide useful features from software?
I just got to use the Books app in Catalina and I find it almost unusable for my audiobooks. Smart lists are gone, I can't figure out how to jump to specific track, I can't find find my files in Finder anymore.

Makes me wonder why they destroyed a perfectly OK software by dumbing it down to making it pretty much useless. What are the people that make these decisions thinking?

I honestly want to know. It doesn't make sense to put effort into a rebuild only to make something less useful.

I'm not a great developer by today's measurements. I struggled throughout my degree and the first 4 years of my career. Especially, when it came to computer networking and algorithms. 7 years into this profession and few projects high-profile projects later, I feel like I'm just getting my legs going. What keeps me going is adopting the mindset that
software development is a lifelong craft from posts like this and HN community.
Because the line is very hard to discern, where it exists as a line at all, and it is nowhere sharp. Lions can be bred with tigers, in captivity. Are their offspring fertile? Well, sorta. Does it make sense to call lions and tigers subspecies? Hell, no. Say lions and tigers are one species and biologists will call you a lumper. You don't want that.

Sometimes the product of mating between species becomes, instantly, another species, if they prefer mating with one another over either progenitor. That just happened, with some birds, in the Galapagos.

Legally, there are no endangered subspecies, only endangered species. So, claiming some variety is "just a subspecies" may mean they get no legal protection against extermination. To me that's more than enough reason for a species.

I think that it’s not unreasonable to exchange hundreds of thousands of contracts in the direction opposite to the current market trend given the volume of about 1.2M for ESU19.
The instance where 386k were bought may be a little bit more suspicious, but then why they didn’t buy much more on Monday before the news when the price was much lower?
They would have really done a killing doing so.
I’m no trader but I’m quite skeptic of these accusations based on my once in a while glance at the ESU19 L2 market data in the past months.
Greta is fine at preaching to the choir. I highly doubt that there were people who did not agree with her, but then after listening to her speech, agreed with her.

The drone still needs a pilot. Someone certified will still need to do a preflight inspection to make sure there aren’t cracks in the prop, loose wiring, issues with the frame, that the batteries aren’t exhibiting any dangerous behavior (Puffed lithium cells), etc. Nothing in the mechanical world is perfect and you’re going to need some oversight of that.
Basically the VF article is the equivalent of seeing a group of people wearing suits, suspiciously waiting in the same spot (e.g. at a pedestrian crossing) and making the absurd deduction that it must be some sort of conspiracy.

There is something badly wrong with this paper. Their example shows them restoring μηδέν ἄγαν from μηδέν ἄ??ν. The diacritics are human provided, and very much limit the search space. The inscription to start with would actually be μηδενα??ν (that is, if the number of characters between α and ν is correct, which is also a human provided guess.

All of their other examples seem to start with diacritics as well. What a mistake!

I dunno, this seems perfectly appropriate to me. Carnegie was all about whitewashing his monopolistic business practices with philanthropy. Now Apple can carry on his legacy!

On Friday near the close the volume is much higher. I repeat the same question that I asked in another comment, why they didn’t wait until Monday morning to buy it when the price was much lower? And they would have known it given the current market trend.

Rebble with a Cause: How Pebble Watches Were Granted an Afterlife
So many blanket statements in this article it's hard to keep track. I love how the author makes it sound like everyone was completely stupid centuries before us:

> In 1859, Charles Darwin, in his “Origin of Species,” put forth a theory suggesting that human beings might be descended not from Adam and Eve but from lower animals, things with fur. Not surprisingly, such ideas encountered vigorous opposition. Many scientists and scholars redoubled their efforts to find evidence of the truth of the Bible.

Fundamentalists opposed Darwin but there was no position from the Church (officially) until 1950 or so. On top of that other scientists largely supported Darwin's central theme but debated the mechanisms of his theory. Yeah, not really what the author describes at all.

I can see how it seems that way (that self-publishing gets authors noticed by publishers), but it's actually pretty rare that it works out that way for any given writer. As I understand it, publishers generally don't look favorably upon a self-published author.. unless we're talking pre-published Andy Weir level numbers.

Excuse me, but post-e10s Firefox is not anywhere near as fast as old Firefox. It's a slow mess that freezes constantly, and the switch from XUL to WebExtensions (and the changes to the rendering engine resultant from that) have made it agonizing to even load basic HTML without CSS, ECMAScript, or XML content.

I switched to Pale Moon for performance and philosophy, and because it has worked since then exactly as I need it and want it to, and has been uniformly faster (now I can confirm on all three machines I use - the x64s at work and x86 at home), and it has given me no security concerns, I've made a 100% switch.
It's amazing how much efforts people are willing to invest to contradict others' experience on the Internet.

The GP is giving a real-life example (people having complained about something being too slow compared to xorshift) and yet you try to do the math to prove it couldn't happen…
I agree with the overall premise, but I disagree with conflating our physiological perceptual limitations with the psychological biases that color our attempts to exercise pure logic and reason.

If you experience an optical illusion and it's explained to you, your reasoning power will enable you to fully accept that your perceptions are incorrect. But if you have a bias that causes you to have a strong opinion on a controversial subject, even if someone tries to point out to you that your bias is rendering your perceptions invalid, and even if you accept in theory that that is the case, it likely won't change your strongly held belief.

For example if you have a strong opinion regarding the existence of the Christian God, and someone tells you that your bias is affecting your opinion, you might concede that you have some kind of bias, but most likely you'll continue to believe that your opinion is right.
Not sure how this counters my point at all. Mozilla wants to eat his cake (we are the champions of Privacy) and have it (yes the most Privacy destroying corporation on Earth is funding us so we never mention them anywhere as if they are not involved in what we do).

Completely, utterly hypocritical. I'm sorry if you are blind to it.
How much cost/effort would it be to string up safety nets in urban areas for drones? My biggest concern with drones is that they fail, and that means they're landing on someone's head. If a city invested in nets, maybe 100ft above the ground, I imagine you could have a much less anxious civilian population with drones flying overhead. Someone tell me why this is a silly idea.
Do publishers aid in marketing?
Of course, I know of the Victorian pneumatic tubes. But with today's technology would be very different: the pods would be electric and autonomous, and the pipes would be nothing else than enclosed rails. The routing would be performed by the pod itself in communication with the pipe, and the pods could use radar to avoid bumping into each other.

It would be a rather simple system, really: a closed pipe with a rough guide, with sensors and data exchange points every now and then and at junctions. The pods would not have to be very fast: 60km/h would be already a fantastic speed inside cities when the only stops are start and destination point. The pipes can be taken to individual buildings (shops, offices, houses), but there could also be public delivery and shipping points on each street/ block. The standard (small) size and shape of the pods (or of their internal container) means that they can be easily manipulated automatically: for example, collected and shipped on different transportation systems such as trucks or rails to reach distant or unconnected destinations, then reintroduced into the pipes system.

Elon, where are you? :)
Hmm, I definitely disagree based on my experiences. I think the lack of timeout with a limit on attempts is far nicer, it works reliably for me in nearly every case except sometimes in the winter (which affects other fingerprint sensors I've tried as well), and the position on the back is ideal for me in almost every position I use the phone. I can easily pull it out of my pocket and activate it one-handed without feeling like I'm holding my phone precariously.
Pebble, RocksDB/LevelDB Inspired Key-Value Database in Go (WIP)
This is the best I've seen till date;
It’s not about capital constraints, the issue is with regulatory constraints. As long as there is a 0.01% chance of an unmanned drone losing control and flying into the engine of an airliner on final approach, it will be heavily restricted.
I think Tim didn't know about that launch, that's why decided to add to the discussion. Not having data is not the same as not having flown; not only the flight has symbolic value but also, I'm sure, the flight serves as an incentive to all participants, especially students. 1.3 km altitude for a liquid fuel rocket is a very real launch, believe me, for amateur participants.

> ...Next week Richard came to DragonFlight and while we were in a vacant parking garage across from Seattle Center [...] Richard described to me a game that he'd come up with that fit those specks--and went way beyond. And this game was the single most awesome gaming idea I had heard of since 1978, when I heard of roleplaying. I started whooping and hollering and yelling, primarily because I knew at that moment that we had an idea that would add a whole new dimension to gaming, and if executed properly, would make us millions. This wasn't just a new game, it was a new gaming form. (Btw, if we can raise the capital, this game will be coming out this summer. Wish I could tell you more, but you know how it is...)

I think one of the important parts of aviation is that checklists have been embedded in the culture since most pilots first started.

I find its harder to get people sold on checklists if they've been operating without them for years or decades. It's especially hard when trying to convince 'type A' personalities because it can be perceived at an affront to their ego
MLK was preaching to the choir, for that matter. Many of his white listeners had a general belief that segregation was bad, but didn’t think they could change anything by themselves. When you get enough such people together, they start to act. Climate may be the same story, 50 years later.
You didn’t get it completely wrong in the sense that piano was in its infancy at the time and nowhere near the capabilities and sonic features of modern pianos. So it is possible that when Bach wrote his “fur klavier” (“for keyboard instruments”) compositions, he didn’t have piano in mind. Probably his favourite keyboard instrument was the lute-harpsichord since he owned one https://baroquemusic.org/barluthp.html
And the human perception of higher pitched noises is that they're much more noticeable and much more obnoxious. And when the kid across the street is flying his drone, I can hear it in my living room through my double-paned window. I'd much rather hear the FedEx truck idling than that fucking thing whizzing around - and it's hundreds of feet away!
Where do they say that?
Yes, he hated pianos when he first had the opportunity to try them. It is possible however that the first Silbermann prototypes, which is what he tried, were of low quality, even compared to other early pianos of the time. He certainly changed his opinion over time though and I agree with you that Silbermann must have listened to Bach’s early criticism. Anyway it is probable that Bach’s favourite keyboard instrument was the lute-harpsichord (see other link I posted in this thread).

My Experience Living in England
Sure, the US does. Go and look at dairy imports/exports. We farm a lot because we also export a lot. At least, that's been my working understanding. My parents have a dairy near them, nearly 8,000 head of cow, all of the milk production is sent to the Netherlands.

FWIW, when my grandparents ran a dairy, in the 40s-70s, they peaked ~300 head of cow and all production remained local -- within 50 miles of the farm. They went out of business because they couldn't compete with the global producers. The farm was eventually sold at auction to a coal mining operation.

If the world wants to engage in better farming practices, it's a global problem. It's not going to be solved by Americans alone.

politics in a televised democracy, no less a youtubified one, is about the art of deceiving mass audiences into trusting you.

i personally love andrew yang, because he almost point blank directs you not to trust him . now, the art of politics is based on the fact that most people are naive and simply don't understand the rules of politics no matter HOW MUCH they have been told them or study them in school.
and thus, it must be this way.

oddly enough, i trust yang because he's obviously not asking for your trust because he knows the whole thing is a joke and he is there to make money. then again he may be deeply deeply untrustworthy.

as for almost everyone else on stage. they are obviously asking for your sincere trust. showing you they are. and hence, i wouldn't trust them farther than they can reach out of the televised screens which they use to communicate.

politics is a giant lie. like the stock market, i'm almost dead certain a random spin of the dice would get you as qualified a leader as it would a stock capable of rising in price.

democracy is largely for idiots and people who truly believe they are contributing by sincerely screening out the lesser of 2 evils (which they aren't) .

disclosure---i vote on all primaries and runnoffs out of guilt.

your REAL choices as a human being are voting on things by action, spending, choice of speech, choice of venue, choice of what you allow in and out of your body ears eyes and mind and what you let out of your mouth.

voting isn't bad, but the more the franchise is diluted, the more worthless it is by definition. sure sure the 'wisdom of the crowd' yadayada, a crowd of 7 billion people and global govenrment will have a helluva democracy. i cannot wait to be 1 of 7 billion voting with 2 choices. vanilla or chocolate,either way you're gonna get ice cream unless you vote to melt it. then you get ice cream soup.

Half the stuff you called "bullshit" on have been scientifically tested (and proved) in reputable journals.

You're projecting emotion on your perceived opponents ("why does this make people so angry") because your dismissal of their arguments depends on it. If you instead took this discussion seriously, you'd lose the ability to be sure you were right.

I don't expect you to have a revelation overnight, but sit down and think sometime about why this topic is so scary for you.
Emotions and feelings are fixed and finite and give predictable outcomes. Emotions can't save us either. Morals ... well, that's "reason" too.
