That's certainly not ideal, but still completely different. Many countries have understandably banned/slowed exporting these supplies. Some of those restrictions certainly went too far: Canada, for example, depends on US suppliers for some materials, and cutting them off completely is going to hurt them rather badly while, due to size differences, not being all that significant for the US. The same is true for some European countries. Sometimes country A depends on B for X, and B depends on A for Y. The first or second most important region for ventilator manufacturing, for example, happens to be... northern Italy!

What the Federal Government in the US is doing is something different altogether. They're confiscating material within individual states. It's not even clear why they have jurisdiction. They seem to sometimes argue from a default assumption of shipments being destined for the black market, and otherwise simply rely on raw power, FBI badges, and ill-defined emergency powers.

I believe that they got rid of the grace period in Windows 10. Now you can run Windows without a license key indefinitely, albeit with certain personalization features (e.g. color scheme, wallpaper) locked.
chicken's IRC channel taught me scheme. A bunch of very nice people. I have called it the friendliest place online for years.

I ended up having to write some portable r6rs code, and that is easier in guile and chez, so that's why I went. I still feel a bit like I owe them to spread the word. Chicken is a very capable and plenty fast scheme. installing 3rd party software is a lot easier in chicken than any other scheme.

I would say that it is slightly faster than, or just as fast as guile3, but slower than chez.
White is a dumb category anyways. A lot of non-whites have significant European heritage. Its asymmetrical in a way that can only be identified as cultural racism.

But yeah, the correct full position is we want to secure a good and fair future for all children, and fair sometimes means compensating for historical and ongoing inequalities and injustices created by racism.
This is pretty interesting.

Years ago I had a bunch of code that was basically just matrix multiplication with some large-ish matrices, and then taking some eigenvectors/eigenvalues at the end. At the time I found the same thing -- if I decomposed things into simple lists of numbers for vectors and lists of lists PyPy was way faster.

I just had the opportunity to brush this code off in Python 3 and run it as-is, and it performs much better than it used to. But I am always curious to hear about these cases.

PyPy really is a wonderful project.
> When the price went negative, it made me wonder if I could legally take delivery of barrels of oil in my back yard.

Typically, the exchange contract is quite specific about where and how delivery can be made, and “in barrels shipped to your backyard” isn't an option. See, e.g., the delivery procedures here: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-swee...

Also, “barrels” are just a (traditional for the commodity) unit of measure (42 US gallons/35 imperial gallons), not actual containers used for delivery.

It goes negative because closing oil wells is costly. You can't just plug them with a big cap. Also, burning or spilling it to the ground is (hope so) illegal in the US. So cheaper to pay someone to drag your black gold away.

Also it is just Oklahoma. Brent (British) does not suffer as much as offshore wells have more storage in the form of oil tankers.

The original version of which talks of an "Invisible hand" and if that's not an metaphor for divine intervention hidden by an chaotic system i don't know what is.

It's rather surprising how often almost all complex systems theories be it AI, cosmology or economics have an aspects where even the theorists are resorting "to because it is".

Sometimes those statements are based on measured data but it's not always easy or possible to do so accurately for highly interconnected system or worse system where you have actors reacting to theoretical model in a way that changes how the system behaves.
I sometimes code on my Surface Go (with a Pentium Silver CPU) and remote in to my home desktop (with a ryzen 3900x). For one of my Rust projects, the Surface Go takes about 25 minutes for a clean build and 2-3 minutes for incremental build. The desktop does a clean build in 2 minutes and an incremental build in 10-20s.

Since it needs to do an incremental build to provide any of the intelligent tools for Rust, it means editing directly on the Surface Go degrades to a text editor experience, while doing the remote editing lets the IDE-like features work.
I think that query analysis in terms of volume of actual people using this query will show that very little people if any actually type "shirt without stripes". Once enough people do it, feedback is accumulated that results are bad (by CTR analysis), and results will auto-correct.

I am getting confused now. My ESL'ness might be getting in the way of us communicating.

Based on how the okay sign thing went, with all of its false positives (which are the innocent victims), I don't think the "dog whistles" give a clear enough signal. Your examples also use judgement from context rather than the dog whistles which is in line with what I've said.

The other poster turned out to be a clear troll, and arguing with them on what the dog whistles mean is giving them just what they want.

This is the whitest sentence I have ever read on this website. And it's a very white website.

> I don't think "sacred medicine" means "You can use however much of this substance in whatever fashion you choose and always have positive results." There are additional rules, guidelines, and best practices to consider, always. But if something brings you connection, warmth, healing, new awareness, humility, love for others, rapport with the Earth, insight into your life, etc, then we generally call that "sacred", and we also call it "medicine", even if the thing in question is just having a conversation, watching a dog play in the sunshine, or smelling the scents on the breeze. Sacred medicine.

Okay. And what are those rules, guidelines, and best practices for magic mushrooms? Because let me tell you, most people's experience of grabbing a shroom or two and eating them does not come with the kinds of structure you see in, say, ayahuasca practices.

You're acting like the preliminary scientific results - of improvement in mental health - come from following a centuries-long native tradition. They don't. They come from the haphazard practices of white California hippies over the last 80 years or so.

> I find this silly. Of course you can have too much of a good thing, or use a good thing in a way that is ignorant of the larger system around it and end up doing harm. But are you sure you're not really trying to "refute" the existence of the spiritual, or of the sacred?

I'm not trying to refute the existence of the spiritual. I'm trying to refute your very specific loading in this thread of a wide variety of psilocybin practices, mostly arrived at for convenience in the last several decades, with sacredness and with traditional imprimatur.

This isn't possible, except for people who can deal with the physical logistics. If you buy the front, you need to put the stuff somewhere for a month.

So far the best tests are from Iceland and Italian town Vo.

“I don’t want to overstate, but we probably represent the largest global supply chain for Covid-19 supplies right now,” he said. “We are getting ready to fill 100 million-unit mask orders.” He being John Thomas the political operative turn business associate of Mike Gula.

How would they do that? Power plants and generators need a load, cars and other transport needs somewhere to go and something to carry, and other infrastructure to burn fuel at any sort of scale just doesn't really exist except at the wells themselves. Flaring infrastructure was designed to burn large amounts of unprofitable gasses coming up with the oil and to prevent dangerous pressure build up, not waste tons of unrefined petroleum. Beyond the added pollution it's a huge safety risk that could destroy a bunch of wells.
And if the name was "The Give" I wouldn't have quite as much of a problem with it, though that's still not a great name, especially in this context.

1. Take every opportunity you can to learn more. A lot of this will happen on your own time. Many of us have probably spent almost as many hours learning on our own as we have on the job.

2. Consider looking for a company/group/task where you are the best programmer on the team. You might have to take lower pay, but there's nothing like being the only guy/gal around to speed up your learning.

3. Head to management if it looks like a good fit.

There are, like DuckDuckGo. But the first complaint is usually "their results aren't as good as Google" and that's because Google in reality still gives better results because of their (lack of) privacy.

People want better results but don't want to be tracked, and those things are in opposition to each other.
I think your statement is true, but I question whether the statement you are replying to is extraordinary given the track record this President and their administration have had since 2016.

Speaking as someone from outside the US, it feels like this story is plausible. The fact is, they have displayed zero accountability for what they are doing with their stockpile.

That is extraordinary in and of itself. Why aren't they transparent about who gets what?

And what about the 500 ventilators that Colorado arranged to purchase, which were diverted by the Federal Government, which then provided 100 to Colorado, while criticizing the "blue" Governor, but praising the "red" senator, saying that the ventilators were the result of the senator's lobbying.

That looks a lot like the exact thing being discussed here.

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/04/08/colorado-coronavirus-v...

Evidence should still be demanded before action like lawsuits, impeachments, &c. are considered, but I suggest there's room to call this plausible speculation, rather than an extraordinary claim.

I think we need to recognize that most people/companies who stick to python 2 doesn't do it because they are being stubborn. There is a real judgment call involved. It might look strange from the outside, but maybe it really is daunting to migrate some code-bases to python 3.

It would be much more helpful to make it possible to use Python 2 syntax with a Python 3 interpreter. Ideally as an extension for Python 3. That would allow people to incrementally port.
Which is the extraordinary claim though?

That he found access to 100MM masks and the ability to procure more, that no-one else had? Because if I had 100MM masks for sale and no-one was knocking on my door to buy them now, I'm sure I could drum that up in a good minute or so with a quick communication. But this is just "access to new supply chains".

or:

That it very easily could be resold masks, since we DO know, _for a fact_, that the (federal) government _is_ intercepting PPE and making them available to certain private companies to resell.

I worked on an IT helpdesk at an insurance company for the summer in 1996. I had to support IBM PS/2 PCs that would tri-boot Windows 3.1, OS/2 Warp, and Dos. No one operating system had all of what they needed.

Funny side story:

They had a token ring network, and in the network room, there weren't enough physical network ports for all of the employees. Every morning someone would call the helpdesk to say their computer was couldn't access the network, I'd look at the N network cables, find one that without lights to indicate that cable was in use, unplug the inactive one, and plug in the cable of the person w/o access. It turned out on most days enough people called in sick or were on vacation that we could get everyone who needed a connection wired up :)

They are! I don't mean to deny that, there's a large discrepancy which Stanford and other researchers in Santa Clara County should work to resolve. But when newspapers and governments report numbers that are off by at least a factor of 20, a factor of 2-4 isn't the most pressing concern.
Original author here. I built this a few years ago, and the main motivation at the time was that I'd heard people say that adding the new features in Python3 required breaking backwards compatibility, which I didn't believe. IMO the only feature that really required breaking backwards compatibility was the str/unicode consolidation and refactoring. This project was my way of proving that we could have gotten the other features that people tend to be most excited about (async/await, function annotations, new super(), etc) without breaking existing Python2 code. I think it was successful at that as a proof of concept.

It was a fun project; I learned a lot about how the CPython implementation works and have a lot of respect for the people that built it. It was surprisingly easy to implement Tauthon based off the work the core dev team did on Python3: https://www.naftaliharris.com/blog/nonlocal/

For what it's worth, I do believe that Python3 is a better language than Python2. We use Python 3.7 at my work (SentiLink) and we've had a good experience with it. (If you're starting a new project or can migrate, I'd recommend it). But I do think that the ~10 year saga of upgrading to Python3 from Python2 wasn't necessary when the main benefit was really the unicode refactoring.

I no longer maintain Tauthon personally but there are others who are excited about the project who occasionally add new features or bugfixes.
I'm not sure there's much of anything that will get the NIMBYs riled up more than a million barrels of crude.
If nobody wanted to live in these places they wouldn't be so expensive. Law of supply and demand.
tldr: Don't work on something (e.g., a feature) unless someone (possibly you) really wants it.

Good advice.

Some choice quotes:

> Asked how he’d managed to procure such equipment when there are shortages in hospitals across the country, Gula said, “I have relationships with a lot of people.”

> Thomas declined to specify how he and Gula had managed to obtain masks that have become so rare that some hospitals have resorted to reusing them or having health care workers tie bandannas or scarfs around their faces. “It’s just relationship-based,” he said. “I can’t say anything else.”

> “I don’t want to overstate, but we probably represent the largest global supply chain for Covid-19 supplies right now,” he said. “We are getting ready to fill 100 million-unit mask orders.”

This last one is the kicker. This guy, who works with/for the Republican party, is able to set up shop in TWO WEEKS, "the largest global supply chain", "based off of relationships", and alarm bells aren't ringing?

I would love for someone to buy masks from Blue Flame, and check lot numbers / serial numbers on those supplies, and see who the original intended recipients were.

I appreciate what you folks are saying, but from my perspective this is exactly what I mean by the absence of a "good technical reason".

I also appreciate that there are a small number of projects (e.g. PyPy) that probably do require some of the special sauce around CPython 2.

But for everyone else ... come on folks. We're developers and engineers, we're supposed to be the creative builders of tomorrow and all that stuff. Is this really so hard?
sorry, "sticky" is wrong in the context of ethanol gas in a modern-ish tank for a few months. However, when any gasoline is exposed to oxygen it forms solids called "gums." My 1971 car has a tank that's vented to the air so it did form a layer of sticky gunk after about 15 years of sitting. Ethanol absorbs water which makes it "not want to burn," corrosive to metal components and it will deteriorate plastics and gaskets. Modern fuel systems are designed with this in mind. But, my '79 Porsche 928 with its mechanical fuel injection (an analog computer that runs on fuel and air pressures) really hates it.
