I am of two minds about Google Books.

On the one hand, it would be great to have some sort (any sort) of online access to millions and millions of books that would otherwise require a physical trip to a library or a slow, painful hunt through used book stores to obtain and would otherwise not be searchable online at all.

On the other hand, I'm very reluctant to have Google be my gateway to that data.

Take a look at what it did with the Usenet archive it acquired. In order to access those archives, I'm forced to use Google's awful web interface instead of a sane, capable standalone news reader of my choice, and I'm unable to download their archive to use for my own purposes. All access is through Google. Their way or the highway.

This is not to mention all of the tracking and privacy concerns that giving Google access to my reading history would entail. Nor all the ads I'd have to swallow to read books through them.

A future where access to valuable information such as this is of necessity mediated through corporations, Google or otherwise, is not one I am looking forward to.

I'd much rather this information reside in the hands of public organizations like the Library of Congress, whose mission is to be a steward of such information for the public good rather than its own profit.
I think the majority of people have never thought about it one way or the other (and would probably think similarly to you), but there is a substantial group of people who do. While it's by no means predominant, you come across the idea with fair regularity on atheist discussion boards.

This is why the change in ownership to private equity of .ORG TLD is problematic.

What if the owners, or owners after it is sold further down the line, of the .ORG TLD prevent archiving? Or charge more for that? That would greatly affect web archive.org and Wikipedia.org.

This move on preventing archival actions is probably setup to allow them to block it later after the sale goes through and say that it was a policy before they started it. A bit like how they lifted .ORG pricing limits just before .ORG TLD was sold to Ethos Capital.

.ORG TLD looks to be targeted right now.

Just seeing this. I'm not the original poster that you replied to, but their point is somewhat valid as is yours.

Python certainly requires one to learn iterative programming which is definitely not a walk in the park. I learned it over a decade ago, but vividly recall how non-intuitive it was at the time (global versus local scope had me scratching my head once upon a time). Then there is lists, tuples, dictionaries, pass by reference, iterators, file I/O...just soo much to learn.

One interesting thing is that I used OO methods in Python for ages before understanding how to write and use classes. To me, a = list.sort() was just a weird way to read a = sort(list). You can almost write Python entirely in an imperative manner and for short scripts I almost always do.

Learning all the OO aspects of Java/C# and all the fundamentals of FP (monads, currying... etc) is much harder for me than APL which is basically just learn what these symbols do and the very straightforward way to combine them and you're done. The only harder part of APL is somehow learning to replace imperative programming with array operations. Sure it is easy to do some things like sum up an array (+/ array), but that is also easy in Python (list.sum()). The idioms as APL people call them are not at all obvious to me, nor is the path of enlightenment outside of stop talking and go write some APL haha.
You can handle proper URLs in a SPA if you know what you're doing. It's not something your average frontend dev would pay attention to though, sadly. Server-side "isomorphic" rendering of pages is also possible but a lot more complicated to resolve all the async requests that have to run to render the page.

I use Gmail, so I'm quite happy that Amazon doesn't automatically share the details of my purchases with Google.

Furthermore, it seems weird to be upset (let alone infuriated) about having to use "Amazon's closed wall system" to search your past orders; you have to use "Amazon's closed wall system" to shop for items and to place orders and to do literally everything else related to buying things on Amazon. I don't even see how it makes sense to talk about a "closed wall system"——as if that's a bad thing——when it comes to Amazon's retail store.

For new code it is indeed "simple". Old code however likely contains third party provided code, be it from libraries or code provided by contractors, where no (clear) license permitting relicensing of the source is available. This can be quite complex historic work as version history might not exist (which code come from where?) and documentation is limited (paper contracts lost in archives) and so on.

I don’t think code review tone matters much.

What’s important is to do a review quickly (ideally within couple hours, not days). It’s important to accept the pr even if it’s not perfect. It’s important to not force a developer rewrite a lot of code to implement a minor feature.

This tool doesn’t help with these common code review problems.

The worst experience I had in my career in my previous team when reviewer was perfectly polite, but ate my brain. For example, he refused to review single prs, he only reviewed complete two week work stacks, and often responded with “suggestion” to slightly rewrite the bottom pr (and I had to spend hours rebasing it). Or even “suggested” better approach when I had to throw away two week work. His comments tone were very positive and kindly.

Good, the freeloaders shouldn't get benefits. They should be trained and actually work rather than take advantage of it.

People on welfare should lose benefits for having children. Normally people that aren't brainwashed believe having children while extremely poor is child endangerment, but apparently many people are brainwashed and don't believe that.

If you're poor, do better, make more money, PUT IN EFFORT and then have children.

Maybe it’s like anything else... to get into an activity you have to get some quick wins scaffolding. So you set it up from your previous day but not something insurmountable. But the same could be true if you were just starting on a new problem. A large reward/effort ratio motivates you to see what else you can get. And that’s true regardless of whether you were the one who set up the problem the day before.
Building compelling telepresence experiences e.g. in VR could be a surprisingly effective way to help towards decreasing air travel, which is the largest energy use/emission category for people like us -- not taking a single transatlantic return trip probably matters more than anything else you can do at home.

Also while I agree that 100% of a GDP is a reasonable approximation of an upper limit in practice, that's not necessarily strictly true either. GDP measures domestic production, not the income available to residents. The income available to residents can certainly be much less than GDP (e.g., Ireland, Luxembourg, etc), so the reverse can be true in principle too.
Yep. Zig is shaping up to be the low-level programming language I've been waiting for to replace C++ for me. It just needs to mature and stabilize a bit before it's production-quality.

Okay.

What JVM really really needs for performance is value types: a lot of GC problems will simply not exist with value types.

Project Valhalla started five (!) years ago, and they are still working on it.

JVM could also use multiple heaps per process (so multiple GCs could run independently not affecting other heap execution and GC). There were talks about it years ago, but nobody is working on it AFAIU.

Online Event Processing
Shotwell's comment is extremely patronising under the circumstances. This doesn't affect kids looking through telescopes at all. If it's bright enough to see through an amateur telescope, it's bright enough to ruin a precision observation from a real instrument. A large part of the outcry is lack of tact from Spacex.

Satellites in images is not new and has caused astronomers problems for a while. It's not common, but most people in the field know someone it's happened to.So now the issue is there will be an order of magnitude objects in space.

Any kind of time series where you observe brightness over time would be affected by a satellite impinging the field. Spectroscopic measurements would also be affected. Astronomers use incredibly sensitive instruments looking for very faint objects - if a bright object is in the field of view, it can saturate the detector and ruin the image.

For context some measurements, like imaging exoplanets, are so precise that you have to block the light from the (already faint) target star to see what's around it.

In reality it's amateurs that can compensate with post processing. Professional astronomers are likely to just trash the data and try again.

Then there are upcoming survey instruments like the LSST which take very wide angle images (I expect they already have some mitigation strategy becuase of other spacecraft). That said, the smaller your field of view, the lower the chance of a satellite impinging.

One solution could be a mechanical shutter which could be activated when a satellite is about to impinge the field, or triggered by a database of satellite ephemirides.
In case it wasn't clear my argument is that there is no single shade, there's just a bag of things. And these things are labeled good and bad by the observer.

My bad, I did word it in a universalist way there, whereas I was trying to give an anecdote to counterbalance the claim I interpreted as “automation is bad for ops people”.

I think that the secret sauce that makes our automation “good”, is that we’re growing as a company, which effectively dictates that both the supply of new ops tasks and the magnitude of existing ops tasks are growing along with us.

If we weren’t growing, we’d be taking away work with our automation (instead of clearing the way for more, different work).

That's entirely an implementation detail. The thing that matters for programmer experience is the specification of behavior: There's going to be an arbitrary order. You certainly can argue that you think it would be less surprising if trying this just failed, or that promising a stable order ties down implementations too much, but I don't think providing an order is that surprising.

None (as far as I remember) of the common "wat" examples about JS are interpreter implementation details, but specified behavior.

I'm mildly curious why CPython chooses to implement it this way, but if I had to guess: I'm assuming it is to provide a stable order between objects of different classes with the same hash() value. Hash-value being what I suspect is what the quoted answer misrepresents as "their address" (the address being in CPython the default fallback for objects that do not implement a hash() function), and being a good candidate to establish an arbitrary order.
This project came about because we were using json a lot for it’s for simplicity and also widespread support in languages and tools we were using.

We started hand editing a lot and making more mistakes, but we have a lot of code generated json from build pipelines and use json with a number of different libraries in different tools already so didn’t really want to switch to yaml or toml.

Jsn is not meant to replace json, we are still using json a lot natively, we just can write config files more easily and jsn spits out fully compliant json for you, or you can use a python dict the same as json.

Jsn does not have a serializer, once it has been parsed it is json.

There's a theory that we're hardwired to be drawn to shoreline, as accessing the resources of tidal zones would have been a definite competitive advantage for our ancestors.

Our natural obsession with tracking the moon also plays into this, as a way of predicting when tidal conditions are best to forage/fish/etc.

It's analogous to the theory where marathon hunting contributed to our physical endurance, brain power and predictive abilities, upright running, sweating, etc.

Both theories attempt to explain the general sense of pleasure we get from visiting the beach and long distance running, respectively.
