I'm one of those with embarrassingly-parallel cpu-bound workloads. The multiprocessing module works, but the extra bookkeeping and plumbing over an actually-parallel-multithreading implementation is a pain in the butt. That said, the multithreading speedup is both faster and easier than porting to another language.
Law is what should happen, politics is what does happen.

I doubt many in Wisconsin are interested in the constitutional subtleties, just as they're not interested in how the "spontaneous" activism and protests have been coordinated by astroturfing.

The bottom line is that this will be marketed as a blow for individual freedom against oppressive government interference, and that marketing frame will be an expedient and manipulative PR position which will result in many avoidable deaths.

Worse, it will also do very little to keep the economy running, because the real economic problems are going to happen upstream, and states have virtually no influence over what happens there. (Which on its own should be enough to expose the lie that "individual freedom" as a magic fetish against economic catastrophe is even a possibility in this situation.)
During my time as conscript in the Swedish army, I got a lot of experience from marching around with fellow soldiers. Eventually I could recognise each one of them (about 25) just on how they moved their legs. I could even close my eyes and go through them on by one in my mind and recall their gait.
Creative writing website for people to write silly hyperfiction novels together. It's closed beta, but over the last month a handful of us have written about eighty chapters totaling about the length of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We're slowly looking for more writers that like doing round-robin-ish fiction like that. The site ends up owning the content but it's doubtful it will ever end up truly publication quality - it's mostly about just the fun of riffing off each other's submissions. The first version of the site existed almost 25 years ago so there are a lot of in-progress stories, I just brought it back to life with updated tech because of the virus.

Oh, there are kindred spirits here. I've recommended this on other tab-related discussions but Tab Stats is one of the few Firefox addons that have been worth using as a tab hoarder. Allows me to see which pages are open in multiple tabs and then deduplicate them if needed, or just looking at (or closing) open tabs based on domain.

(I'm not affiliated with the creator and it's not without its own annoyances, but still easily recommendable to anyone with thousands of tabs open)

This implies that a company could generally survive 50% of their revenue disappearing overnight. This may be true for 1-3 employee companies but past that I doubt it. Also generally the large majority of your revenue still comes from one of your platforms, making that one still likely an existential risk.

That's a great point. On my end, I do all my tab management by maintaining separate desktops for different broad topics (school, work, personal). Then I'll have different windows (history seminar, security engineering). And then it just becomes a whole mess and I keep very rough "version control" through note-taking apps.

I used to compress dozens of tabs into a bookmark folder with a date and topic, but now I just have dozens of those folders collecting dust. I often end up in the same situation you do when I mass-close tabs, except I might have to actively open so many tabs to do so that it actually becomes a strain on my computer.

All that said, I'm fully aware this is mostly my fault for being a tab collector/hoarder.

Edit: right now, at the end of the semester when I don't have much school work content open, I still have six Chrome windows. Yesterday I culled about 20 arxiv PDFs I had slowly accumulated since last August (lol).

I am not sure if this will work for you, but you can move the tabs next to each other and click on a tab, press shift, then select another one and all tabs in between will be selected. Press Ctrl-W and it will close all of those tabs at once.
you might want to look into the "eternal September" concept, for me that really is what happened to Reddit.

I've launched a side project to let people track the outcome promises/predictions made by public figures and popular Twitter accounts, as I find unrealistic predictions and outright lies can be very damaging:

https://ontherecord.live

The stack is Django + Gunicorn / nginx, PostgreSQL and some Intercooler.js and vanilla JS to make the experience smoother.

I've also been trying to learn Elixir + Phoenix, as I find some of the concepts (e.g. LiveView) very promising.
Basically, manged social networks like Reddit are all terrible. You get unsocialable people who eventually join, and then that begets moderation, which begets misbehavior, which begets more extreme moderation.

Ad infinitum.

What my experience is is that everyone who has seen this on reddit (or facebook or twitter) is doing is just making their own curated network on Discord or something. Slack, even, since the free version is pretty okay. I suppose that just moves the problem to the hosts of the channel but honestly it cannot be worse than reddit since there wouldn't be any corporate influence, which this post seems to strongly suggest is happening at scale on reddit. You see this a lot already, with youtube personalities and devs even saying "join my Discord!" in their videos and on their blogs.

Frankly, this is a good step forward ... but my comment about corporate influence is a little tongue-in-cheek, since eventually those companies (Slack, Discord, etc.) will face pressure (from their owners and investors, from powerful outsiders) to police the content that exists within their platform. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I don't like the idea of any network being vulnerable to the whims of some corporate overlord, so if anyone can figure out how to do a distributed social networking protocol that would be very nice and I'd sign up immediately.

For one, I think this is good news. I work in a field that exposes me to a lot of dubious ways to collect peoples data. Especially what they are doing in their browser. You would not believe how many pieces of software you are using daily that do this.

A lot of these are chrome extensions. If you are honest, then I do feel for your situation. But, I am also happy to see that Google are finally stepping this up and looking after their users by not exposing them to potentially malicious services.

> (...) leaving effectively a stone cast of a dinosaur foot, rather than a footprint that has somehow been flipped 180 degrees.

Yes, I also share that opinion. In fact, just by looking at the photo from Nature it seems like the cave's floor is comprised of upper strata that have cracked, broked off and fell down. If just so happened that the layer currently exposed has the imprint of some dinosaur footprints.

Perhaps other visitors didn't noticed it because the previous layer broke off recently?
Honestly for python there's still one obvious way given just about all use-cases. Use multiprocessing for now.

In the future a lot of stuff is going to shift over to async-await. Until enough of your dependencies do it's fine if you ignore it for now.

If you need any of the other options you'll probably already know and don't need to ask.

Threading is good if you're doing a lot of waiting, but this use case is more or less replaced by async await.

Multiprocessing is good multi-purpose. It works around the GIL and so works for most use cases.

Async-await is like threading with a nicer programmer interface and works especially well for networking code and the like. The nice thing about async-await is that it's trivially interoperable with all the previous options. When using a framework or library that has an async-await API it'll be doing whichever form works best on the backside. E.g. awaiting a database query might spawn a thread or a process and you don't need to care.

Subinterpreters are only relevant if you're writing C-code that embeds the python interpreter. So e.g. the mod_wsgi developers might care. A python developer never uses these directly.

So unless you're a library author or doing fairly low-level things you won't need to care about any of the options but async-await pretty soon. The only awkward thing is that async-await isn't widely used/supported yet leading to there currently being two obvious ways to do it depending on what your libraries support.

tl;dr; Use multiprocessing if you must. use async-await if you can. Let library developer worry about the tricky bits. Pretty soon just use async-await always.

I live in Prague and my feeling is that both food delivery and grocery delivery works quite well here and hopefully the delivery companies are thriving. We order quite often (multiple times a week) for the past 3 years and I could count negative experiences on the fingers of one hand probably.

Grocery delivery is, of course, easier because there is no strict time limit usually and the orders can be pooled together.

I'm not understanding the praise this is getting. The words I've seen are very clearly wrong and do not match how English words are made. Some examples:

> méxis: an obsessive or revelatory pursuit

No comment....

> heelbark: a red braid fastened to a man's hat so as to prevent heeling

Unless you put your hat on your shoes, you're on the wrong end of the body.

> transgate: raise the value of (something, especially money) by expanding its capacity to become transactions or funds.

What's that even mean?

>noress: a unit of electric charge equal to one nanosecond

Where's the Coulombs? Who is J̶o̶h̶n̶ ̶G̶a̶l̶t̶ Noress?

Additionally I'm seeing words that either exist or are natural permutations/mispellings. Example:

Additionally, the example sentences are just as crazy. Maybe I'm having bad luck. There are some good hits, but the majority of them appear pretty tashy (this is a crazy difficult problem!)

I'm not sure where people get the idea that they can assert something as a counterpoint on no basis. "That's just your opinion," is not a rational basis to disagree, especially when your counterpoint requires the implied basis (semantic) to be equally relevant to the original argument's basis (law).

"Open source" isn't based on the semantic that the source code is public, its definition comes exclusively from a set of guidelines that limit the rights of the original creator to enforce a specific range of IP protections guaranteed to them by domestic and international laws. There are various types of public licenses, also known as GNU, that are considered "true open source" in that the original creator can only enforce some provisions like a source attribution credit in a modified distribution. And there are permission licenses, like the MIT License, which don't necessarily meet every guideline for FOSS, but do meet most of them.

When it comes to IP, the only basis that matters is legal, as its the only basis that's universally enforceable. Laypersons can define "open source" however they please, but when engineers, devs, business, and legal discuss it, it has one definition, and that definition is well-established as exemptions from current IP law.
Add more family friendly ones. A simple way to do a pub quiz type of game would be awesome! We do one but showing the questions on screen would be great.
I was waiting for this option for a very long time.

The 16:10 display like the MBP is best suited for non media work as you can see more vertical content than the letterbox ratio suited for watching videos.

Better processors and ability to have say 32GiB of RAM is also much appreciated.

They promised better battery life with the FHD display which if true would be a perfect replacement for my aging MBP 15.

> I don't see how it helps with voting on a restaurant.

I'm confused about what you mean here.

> Also it seems that the instigator is picking up the bill.

Correct. The model rewards people for piggybacking because it incentivizes them to choose a restaurant that might not have been their first choice.

To avoid being the "instigator", you can just always choose to piggyback. It's always an option in my city.

> I wouldn't want to bicker with my neighbors over them forgetting to pay.

I also don't understand this, but perhaps you meant it in a context other than UberEats.

> Most importantly, I've never heard anyone using it, so it wasn't done right.

Many people won't realize they're using it. It shows up like a delivery discount: "Order in the next five minutes and pay $0 for delivery" or something like that. Everyone UberEats user I know uses it -- some exclusively. We never talk about it though, this is just what I've observed when watching them order.

I wasn’t aware of Sidebery, but it looks way better than TST. How is the performance? With TST I notice it doesn’t “hibernate” older tabs (only if you restart FF).

EDIT: Damn! I'm blown away by Sidebery. The amount of customization and native looks is awesome. There is only a slight problem when compared to TST: It does not preserve tab grouping when parent tab is closed.

A great next iteration would be to let users fold/unfold those groups, so that you only have one visible "tab" per group in the top bar.

Found it. In https://www.blog.google/static/blogv2/js/all.js?version=4.3

{key:"onKeyDown",value:function(t){var e=t.preventDefault;this.isToggle(document.activeElement)?(e(),!this.header.isKebabOpen&&this.header.openKebab(),this.getFirstLink().focus()):this.isLastLink(document.activeElement)?this.isLastLink(document.activeElement)&&e():(e(),this.focusNextLink())}}

There's a logic error in the nested ternaries: event.preventDefault() is called in every branch.

Fixed:

{key:"onKeyDown",value:function(t){var e=t.preventDefault;this.isToggle(document.activeElement)?(e(),!this.header.isKebabOpen&&this.header.openKebab(),this.getFirstLink().focus()):this.isLink(document.activeElement)&&(e(),!this.isLastLink(document.activeElement)&&this.focusNextLink())}}

Removal of downvote is not necessarily enough, it doesn't stop differing comments from being drowned out in an echo chamber.

I really think that the problem is somewhat embedded in two things: human nature, and practical limits of our attention. For the former, what I mean is that essentially discussions tend to get driven towards extreme or biased views, because people with moderated, centrist, or less extreme views are less likely to say anything. As the community grows, eventually there are enough people with extreme views that the limit of how many comments you are willing to read through is saturated with them. Eventually one view becomes predominant. And I guess, the last factor would be that people enjoy seeing their beliefs echoed back to them, as a form of validation - aannd we've hit peak echo chamber.

I honestly have no real solution to this, other than trying to stay within smaller subreddits, where the middling opinions are not yet drowned out. And preferably ones that are well moderated, and have expectations of quality posts (you mention HN, and the self-moderation of the community here is a good example, jokes and other shitposts are regularly voted into oblivion, although this trend has been slowly diminishing over the years). As for specific subreddits that are great examples, it is hard to point out, because they are so specific.
