If I can give my 2 cents, think about how you would like to write and publish, and where do you want to focus. I've tried to use static site generators (mostly Hugo), but in the end, I've realized that I spent way more time making little tweaks to my theme, creating short codes "to help me create content", than actually writing.

Now, I plan on just having a blog to myself, to post what I've been reading, with some highlights/notes, and for that, a free wordpress.com is way better than anything else, as it's very easy to add different types of media/embed content without a worry, and to use their android app to write on the go if I want.

So really, whatever you use, first decide on your ideal workflow, and then find the solutions :)
Yeah, same here with JS. Solid black page, no content.

View source indicates about half is some Google analytics boilerplate, the other half is a body consisting entirely of non-functional JS pulls.

OP, where is the content stored?
curmudgeon (noun): a bad-tempered person, especially an old one.
Been there done that.

Selecting a database is the least of your worries. And you learn to live with the limitations - for example, in clickhouse you add a millisecond and a microsecond field.

Litteraly every solution listed will work, as the database will only be used to persist your data. Your trading will NOT use your database in any way except to load the data when you start (and potentially restart) your bots.

What really matters is 1) execution, 2) network performance and finally 3) good data

Language, database etc are just tools. This is a case of premature optimization.
Learn you some Lambda best practice for great good
Hi, my name is Yan Cui, I'm one of the AWS serverless heroes and I'm publishing a new video course on AWS Lambda best practices.

You can sign up and preorder the course for the price of £9.99 (~$13) while I'm still working on the content. The first batch of lessons would drop on the 17th Jan, and I expect to publish all the lessons by the end of Feb at the latest.

Many thanks for your support!
There’s no doubt that the 2 -> 3 transition was rough for the Python community. I personally stopped using Python as my go-to language in the early Python 3, since writing Python 2 code felt stupid since it was outdated the moment you wrote it, and 3 wasn’t really well supported by the community and tooling yet.

On the other hand, Python adoption has really taken off since Python 3.5-ish. Python has never been more popular.

So while you may wonder what might have been, had the transition been smoother, it’s hard to argue that Python 3 is a failure. All’s well that ends well, I guess?

Although it’s sad that Guido felt the need to step down. It’ll be interesting to see where Python goes this decade, now the transition is over and there’s a wealth of possibilities in front of it.

I expect there’ll be a lot of people looking to replace JavaScript with Python once you can run it in the browser with WASM.

In the age of evergreen browsers, it's possible to go from 0% to 85% in just a few weeks time. Upgrading web servers will be the real bottleneck.
That was actually part of the point I was trying to make.
Interesting that we get different results. Google's AI-based translation can get a little crazy sometimes[1] but I would have still expected everyone to get the same result for the same thing.

> there is no way in the language's design to pass a string to a function that only accepts a number, for example, because the "blocks just don't fit together."

Which is easily achieved by the first typed language that comes to hand, no?
I agree, which is why I use Dhall at work. But the fact of the matter is that `kubectl apply -f config.dhall` isn't realistic yet, and there's a big segment of the market that's just not willing to accept anything but that.

I support vaccination. My daughter is fully vaccinated. Barring fringe health issues, children should be vaccinated. End of story.

But that's entirely besides the point. The point I'm making is I believe people are feeling "squeezed," that our public sense-makers have been revealed to be nonsense. Look at what's been going on. We're in the longest war in our history. The state tortured people and nothing happened. We are spied on and nothing happens. Government bails out Wall Street in the Great Recession but not Main Street. We elected a reality TV show host to be the President. We were told for years that our reality TV host president was a literal Manchurian candidate and our government had been essentially overthrown by a foreign dictator. Every time I turn around someone's shooting up a crowd of people. There's cracks in the walls. Not vaccinating is a symptom. The core problem is that the "system" lacks credibility. Squeezing people a little harder and forcing them to vaccinate exacerbates the core problem. It would be great if everyone were robots and could just look at cold hard facts and make totally rational decisions, but that's not how it works. Squeezing people in one place causes them to lash out in another place. I don't think it's a good idea.

I was once at a company (X) that acquired another company (Y), and Y's main product was a graphical programming tool. Y advertised that their tool could speed application development up 10x.

My (nontechnical) manager asked me "why don't you use Y's tool to build the project you're currently working on?" I answered with the following metaphor:

Imagine you have to pick a bike to go on a trip. You're travelling on a well paved road through the woods. If you take a light & narrow wheeled racing bike, you'll travel much much faster than if you ride a knobbly wheeled mountain bike with suspension, as long as you stay on the road. As soon as you need to go off the road and cut a new path, you are going to wish you had that mountain bike, and the road bike is actually going to make you go much slower or just stop altogether.

So does the "speed bike"/advanced framework make you go faster? Yes, as long as you stay on the road (i.e. constrain your requirements to their feature set). The moment you need to "go off-road" (i.e. do something the framework doesn't do), such tools actually make it difficult or impossible to make progress.

This is why, for a complex applications (most commercial software), I prefer the mountain bike. Yes, it's slower on certain paths, but when we need to "go off-road" I don't slow to a stop.
Then I will keep the records, or my smart watch or smart phone.
> If low-wage jobs in the U.S. were as good as they are in Eastern Europe, maybe more men would take them.

Are you saying low wage wage jobs are good in EE? I can assure you that's not the case. Millions of low wage workes from EE left for Western Europe upon joining the EU. They still do low wage work, but the pay is so much higher in the UK, Germany, Norway etc.

>Certainly there's merit in exercising a certain degree of rigour, much of scientific work can be boring, but yeesh, "not too bright" sums up the old boys' club right there doesn't it? If you can't be judged on merit, what will you be judged on, eh?

Who said people shouldn't be judged on merit? The point being made in
the article is not that it's literally better to not be too bright,
but that being intellectually capable of working on something than the
Grand Unified Theory of Everything (or The Cure to Cancer or The
Riemann Hypothesis or whatever the equivalent is in each field) is
necessary if you want to have a good career in science.

Ultimately, the chances that a scientist at the beginning of their
career will be able to make a significant contribution to such a big
project that so many intelligent people have spent so many decades
(centuries in the case of some mathematical problems) trying to solve.
It's not a good career decision (or a good life decision) for a young
mathematician to spend the crucial early years of their career trying
to solve the Riemann hypothesis. 9999 times out of 10000 they'll fail
to make any significant contribution to the problem, because they're
not ready to yet, and then will struggle to build a career when
they've just wasted years of their life, publishing nothing,
contributing nothing, learning nothing.

Maybe you're a true genius and make headway on one of the grandest and
most fundamental of problems. But most people, even most young
academics, are not geniuses. They would be far better served working
on smaller, more realistically achievable goals.

The point of the quote (that it is best to be "not too bright") is
that there seems to be a gap between people that are "normal" enough
that they're intellectually capable of working on something small and
people that are "genius" enough to be intellectually capable of
actually making progress on something huge. Between that you get
people that are "too bright" to work on small problems but not
actually smart enough (or lucky enough in their choice of approach or
whatever other reason) to solve the Riemann hypothesis or P=NP or
Quantum Gravity or whatever.

If you're a genius, you can do it. If you're a decently smart person
that's not so smart they've never experienced failure in any academic
endeavour, you won't try. But if you're in between it's not uncommon
for people to feel like they're too good for the small problems, even
when they're not good enough for the big ones. So they waste their
lives and ruin their careers being too ambitious. Some of them give
up, others become cranks when they can't handle the idea that they've
failed and rationalise their failure as the system being out to get
them, the world not being ready for their genius, etc.

Or in other, more concise, words: "to be effective in some scientific
fields it’s actually best not to be too bright. Only geniuses (or
cranks) head straight for the grandest and most fundamental problems."

I stand corrected. I saw the graph earlier but it was difficult to tell either the reduction in both groups was similar or not. Looking at the numbers though does paint a similar picture. The rate for men from 2000 to 2016 fell from 92.1% to 88.5% (3.6% drop) and for women from 77% to 74% (3% drop).

The easiest one would simply be removing the down vote mechanism. If with an existing site then can compare with the years' prior stats - assuming they've been recorded; I don't know if HN does. There are a number of things you could monitor - would be interesting to see if any sets of people with the same behaviour change their behaviour more than just down voting, like if they stay on the site more or less, if they comment more or less; perhaps doing word use analysis on these different sub sets before and after the down vote change, what language are people who are prone to down voting using vs. those who only comment or only up vote but don't down vote, etc.
Loads for me, are you sure you're not excessively blocking scripts?
"No code" does not equal "no programming". For me, programming is 90% about how I structure/organize a process, 10% is the expression of said process through code.

That's naively reductive. Any human endeavor, at virtually any scale, carries some risk. A cursory cost benefit analysis indicates that the potential reward, slowed or reversed climate change and fewer deaths from pollution, likely offsets the tiny probability that some future group of humans may stumble upon the waste and suffer. Consider also that any future civilization is likely to be advanced enough to recognize the danger of such an archeological site. Not to mention it's unlikely that any pictographic warnings will completely degrade over the course of thousands of years.

This really comes off as a minor issue considering the huge ratio of benefit to cost.
"Can’t find the server at archive.md"
As someone who grew up in the States, I never really understood this either, until I lived in Korea and visited Japan.

There, residential zoning is mixed with business zoning. There is no such thing as a "suburb", because you have apartments nestled right next to grocery stores, cafes, and restaurants. I don't think I ever had to walk more than 2-5 minutes to get to a convenience store. Cars still existed of course, but so many people walked, rode bikes, or took public transit. (It helps that both countries have extremely good public transit systems).

Once I realized how nice life could be, I started hating suburbs. I hate having to drive 10-20+ minutes just to get food or groceries because the only thing around you is a vast sea of houses. I hate that public transit is basically nonexistent, or if it does exist, it's slow and not on time. I hate having to drive, which is both unsafe and prohibits me from studying or getting work done, because I have to pay attention to the road.

Centering around a suburb model is one of the US's greatest structural failures.
What are your experiences with finding workout partners?
Purpose:
I am doing some market research into the fitness world and I would love to hear your experiences with finding people to workout with.

Let's start with some context:
Suppose you're a fitness enthusiast who is into working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You like running, weightlifting and yoga. However, you tend to work out alone and you're looking to share your passion for sport and working out. You're looking for someone (or perhaps a group of people in your area) who share the same interest in sport, are about the same or better fitness level than you, and you share a similar working out schedule or routine.

Some questions to understand your experience:

1. What are your experiences with finding fitness partners to workout with?

2. Was your experience difficult? If so, what made it so difficult?

3. Why was this experience difficult?

4. What are some ways to get around this problem now? (i.e. what are some solutions that currently exist?).

5. Are those solutions the best solutions? If not, why are they not the best solutions?

Thank you!

Please make your products work with URLs

I want to tell you about something I was unable to accomplish, after more than 30 minutes of concerted effort.
I have video file hosted using a web server. The file is H.264 main-profile encoded at a reasonable bitrate (<5Mbps), uses AAC audio, and is packaged in an MP4 container. The web server supports HTTP range requests. In other words, the video is basically in the least common denominator format for compatibility. It streams great in all major web browers, VLC, and everything in between.

In my living room, I have a Roku "smart" TV. It has tons of apps, full internet connectivity, and is more than capable of both connecting to and playing the video file described above. But I failed to get this to happen, after much googling and trying multiple apps (both on the Roku TV and my Android phone).

The way this type of thing is usually accomplished in 2020 is to open the video on your phone, then tap a "cast" icon and tell it to send the video to your TV. What happens behind the scenes is the phone uses some protocol (Chromecast being the most common I'm aware of) to send the URL to the TV, and the TV then plays it directly, while still letting you play/pause, seek, change volume, etc from the phone. When this works, it's like magic. The YouTube app works particularly well. However, there doesn't seem to be any widely implemented standard for playing plain URLs, only walled gardens like the YouTube app.
This whole thing was made much more frustrating by the fact that I knew the TV had all the requisite capabilities to do what I was attempting. The YouTube app is proof of that. There just wasn't any obvious way to find the correct app combination.

Here's the way this should work.

The Roku app for Android allows you to use your phone as a keyboard for the TV, rather than the awful physical remote UX for input. This is a great feature which I appreciate.
I should be able to copy a URL from my phone (possibly obtained from scanning a QR code), paste it into the Roku Android app, and the Roku should attempt to play the file at the URL. This is clunky, awkward, and not particularly easy. But it is simple, obvious, and intuitive.

Here is my plea: when you build hardware/software, please make it support the primitive, simple case. By all means, implement the slick Chromecast-style flows. It's great when it works. But there needs to be a fallback for when it doesn't work, or when the user wants to try something slightly different. HTTP is the lingua franca of the internet. When you build stuff, please make it work with simple URLs.
Totally agree with you. Many big corporations totally block UDP at ISP level because there is no easy/magic solutions against amplified DDoS. They usually use some internal backend for DNS, Ntp, routed through other ISP.

I am afraid that businesses that will host HTTP/3 will be less secure in terms of availavility.
The problem, I think, is that the article seems to believe that the solution is "return to the 1950s". The world has changed. The relationships between men and women have changed. The relationship of the economy to individuals has changed.

The article seems predicated on the notion that this number (male participation in the labor force) is the metric that matters, rather than anything about their mental health -- harder to measure, and therefore outside the purview of an economist (especially a right-wing economist). It doesn't even really try to look at what's in their minds, much less how we could go about creating a more healthy world for them to live in -- with everybody else.

I felt as if what the article kept trying hard not to say was, "Well, if only women would return home, there would be more lucrative jobs for men, and more need for the women to be taken care of by a man". That ship has sailed.

Many men have adjusted to a new kind of masculinity for that world. Many haven't, and we'll need to discover some new things. And I don't think that's well-served by the article's tacit notion that what's really needed are more of the old things.
The "failures" of the sensors are simply the "less common" inputs. The proper control software should simply be written for all possible inputs, which include inputs from faulty sensors, and the result of the processing should not have some catastrophic consequences.

Compare to the web app that awaits the username, but when the username is not the "most common" (e.g. contains some new unicode symbols, or is of zero lengh) it allows catastrophic security failure and intrusion.
Is there anything you have done that has improved motivation of your kids to get out of the house? I'm asking as a mid-twenty year old who has a few friends that haven't had a real job in years and wants to help. The main issue I've run into is that they just don;t care they are burdening their parents
The HTTP Referer header is a horrible bug that should never have been part of the web IMO. When I tell laypeople that this happens they're often very surprised.
Impressive! Before I clicked I thought this was going to be an(other) article about number theory!
This technique is known as remote store programming (RSP) which allows for a very convenient producer-consumer communication. It lends itself well to AI workloads since reading for a foreign core is rather rare compared to writing to one (eg next stage).
Not only that, but these articles always say the "what" and not the "why". Daily consumption of alcohol for example, depletes glutathione. The more you drink, the more that is depleted. Once your reserves are gone, the liver will still protect you, at the cost of itself. It essentially slowly self destructs to neutralize the alcohol once the glutathione is gone. People will always give examples of someone they knew that lived to 100 and had a shot of whiskey every day. Makes sense, they were replenishing their glutathione reserves faster than depleting it. It's obviously much more complicated of a process than what I described, but people don't have a way to measure it. The liver will try to detox people until it hits something like 5% capacity and then the symptoms are really obvious. By then, it is too late.
[I mostly agree, but you have some repeated links in your list. I count only 5.]
Something is wrong if there is no third type: the "natural" string (bytes on Python 2, unicode on Python 3).
It surprises me that people actually believe the lie that you're more likely to get rich by "hard work" than by skimming the fruits of other people's labour.

If you want a comfortable life of leisure then skimming is the way to do it. And it's socially approved, in the US at least.

Speculate on and/or rent out property, own stocks, profit from tiny pointless loopholes in money markets, become a monopolist, or work for one of the huge bureaucratic IT monopolies, even scam gullible VCs and investors - all good well-paid "hard work" you can do with a clear conscience.
