But at what point do function calls from ceval.c stop counting as part of the interpreter? Okay, calling a C function clearly at some point ceases being part of the interpreter, but is the entirety of an attribute lookup (i.e., executing the LOAD_ATTR inst) on an ordinary Python object part of the interpreter or the runtime? In plenty of VMs the object representation is an intrinsic part of the VM design, with the VM having deep knowledge of it.

Problem is all such games are subject to their assumptions. Thus whatever you come up with, either it confirms my bias or I can attack it because of some obscure thing you didn't account for. There are enough obscure things for me to keep adding that you will never win (except by confirming my bias at which time someone else will jump in).

> healthcare and childcare benefits should be a right not a privilege.

Sure... when no human needs to be paid to provide these things, then they should certainly be a right. Fortunately, right now, you can't compel another human to take care of your health or your child without paying them.

> The idea that the only value adults provide is by what they get paid in money is a deeply flawed idea;

Money is a measure of how indebted someone is to you. That is all. To be 'paid in money' absolutely gives a good impression of the value you provide. When you do something for your neighbor without exchanging cash, you are still making money, because someone -- usually through social conditioning -- now owes someone to you. Woke people call this community building; accountants call it good will, and it absolutely has a monetary value, whether you determine it or not.
Just a pair of UX comments:

Being able to search via State as well would probably help a fair bit. The US has a reputation for being quite bad when it comes to awareness of representation - so forcing a name based search probably isn't great for supporting users - if the search was made into a live responsive search (where the table view was refreshed on each keypress) that'd probably be even better.

Your arrangement of Next/Prev page really messes with my brain - it'd be good if these buttons stayed in the same horizontal position when you move from the first page to any other - it's particularly confusing in this case since there isn't any standard pagination widget bar thingy - instead there are just two naked buttons which swap places when you move from the first page to the second.
Both partner and potential competitor?

Depends how serious FB wants to invest in building out their own e-commerce backend platform. Not sure it is that valuable to them when IG is the more differentiating part of the product.
Hey thanks, appreciate the kind words! It's definitely something that we thought about (and are continuing to think through). There is also the question of service vs. product businesses, although there are certainly a lot of comparables for the former.

For now, however, we're mainly focused on making ourselves useful for early-stage companies. Certainly something we're thinking about however!
Shopify is pretty good, but if you have a small independant shop the hard part is getting visitors. On that basis etsy is better, because it gets a lot of traffic, but I think facebook will be even more popular.

I'm a member of a couple of local groups, largely for buying/selling kids clothing/toys. Something like that wouldn't work so well on other platforms - getting cheap stuff locally.

Of course etsy has its own problems, with a large number of their shops just being fronts for aliexpress resellers.

Is it a cultural thing that differs from country to country? Here in Norway, the best paid "influencers" are still bloggers - though they are obviously on all channels these days.

Notion is great. My one complaint is the fact that there's no "family plan". I currently have a free workspace that I share with my spouse, but we're about to hit the 1000 block limit. Notion CS's recommendation was for me to use a personal plan and invite them to each page we want to share, or to create a top-level page that all of the shared pages are nested under and invite them to the top-level page alone, but this is very annoying. But I don't want to pay $16/mo just for 2 members who don't need advanced team features.
Just to clarify, does it matter if these libraries are pure Python? What I have a hard time understanding is how PyPy is almost a drop-in replacement but then have issues with missing libraries. Couldn't you just pip install the libraries or just literally get the source and run them if they're pure python?
Just a reminder that the type of person who comments on HN is probably not that representative of the average consumer.

I don't know if the approach outlined in this article is a good one or not, but I wouldn't be even slightly surprised to find out that the way the typical person searches for things, selects results, evaluates credibility, and takes action, bears virtually no resemblance to how many of us here on HN approach the same things. So take all the withering criticism of this article and approach with a huge grain of salt. I've made many hundreds of thousands of dollars online with methods that would never work with many HN users.
All true in theory, but in practice these mechanisms are worthless because for most libraries Debian developers are dropping older version of libraries immediately after transition to the new version is completed. Want to to run a 3rd party binary that depends on an older library? You're favorite package was dropped during the transition? Tough luck. Your best bet is installing needed library packages from previous debian release and praying that'll work.
I think you've proven that the language is a lost cause. It's never going to perform OK.

With all the breakage of Python 3, it's a shame that the causes of slowness were not eliminated. The language could have been changed to allow full ahead-of-time compilation, without all the crazy object look-up. Performance might have been like that of Go.

While your comment is inflammatory and commits several rhetorical crimes, I will just reply with saying that there are many valid uses of BSD.

OpenBSD in particular is an attractive option for some servers, since it has builtin httpd, acme-client (for tls certs), smtpd and excellent documentation of how to get it all up and running with minimal, secure configuration.

While people have a tendency to believe that there is "only one True Way", and it is a popular argument that "X is most popular, therefore it is The True Way." – this is not in fact true for operating systems. Every system will have its drawbacks, and…

If that were true, there wouldn't be crowds of people telling that palm rejection in Linux sucks balls. Seriously.

Eclipse Collections can also do batched loops which might speed this up. Telling Java how many threads you want will probably help as well

Interestingly, I tried plain old for(i) loops and the result was exactly the same. At least for Eclipse Collections, the syntactic sugar for ranges and forEach is completely optimized away, apparently.

This isn't useless. Just the fact that Microsoft decided to make its own package manager is great!

With it I can:

- rebuild my machine from scratch. I've bought a new machine 2 months ago and still need to install something that I don't have.
- know that the packages I'll install have less chance of being malware.
- maybe I can install authorized packages myself in my business computer.
- automatic updates
That's funny, because to me, the emoji seem like a nice visual differentiator and borders seem hideous.
Joe Rogan’s podcast is becoming a Spotify exclusive
Interesting you posted this as I have an older 2016 iPad Pro that I have loved using for Notability notes over the past few years.

I just bought a second hand Apple keyboard for it to make more use of it. I don’t expect to be able to fully program with it but with the likes of Blink I can have a fully functional terminal on a remote dev server and do what I need there.

I find that the form factor of the iPad allows me to “think differently” as strange as that sounds. I can move from my laptop/desk and sit down somewhere else and do certain tasks more easily on the iPad, particularly when it comes to thinking/sketching solutions or writing.

In similar vein, why not just advertise based on the content the person is currently consuming? Put fishing ads into an article about fishing, the same way people put gun ads into gun magazines.

Given how abysmal targetted advertising is I don't see this being much worse.

It's real. There are some neat patents from the mid-40's through the mid-60's from the usual crowd of aviation companies.

This is probably the best one: https://patents.google.com/patent/US3165632?oq=%22star+track...

The core technologies are IR filter (to increase contrast) + an optical modulator + a synchronous detector (lock-in amplifier).

There are a bunch of variations (mostly, I think, to avoid patent infringement). The basic idea is to have a sensor offset from the optical axis of a telescope (and revolving around the OA--or, more commonly, to rotate the OA about the sensor). The telescope is focused at infinity.

Then modulate the entire field in various clever ways (to avoid the gradient of the sky brightness from affecting the measurement), and detect the total field brightness with a PMT (nowdays you'd use a CMOS sensor or photodiode).

They typically include a servo to point the telescope OA at the star (conveniently, this also tells you how the star is oriented relative to the body axis of whatever the tracker is mounted on).
everything about that is wrong.

For a lot of stores, Shopify is just an API for your store. There's a big trend in ecommerce of going "headless" and using Shopify's API to push your products out to many channels. In that sense, Shopify is merely a special database (similar to Salesforce) to track your customers, orders, products, inventory, discounts, etc which is then pushed out to channels like Facebook Shop or Amazon.
I'm looking for something similar to Notion for my company's internal documentation (including operations), but it needs to be internationalized (and Notion isn't).

> 2) Python as a language is so dynamic/flexible/erfonomic that it has to do things that have overhead (necessary complexity unless you change the language)

As PyPy demonstrates, much of this doesn't need to have anywhere near the overhead that it does in CPython. You can absolutely do better than CPython without changing the language, and you can do better than CPython without a JIT if you start specialising code.
I don't think the volume of blogging decreased. It probably increased.

The reason some people think blogging is dead is because the blog "signal" is much, much quieter than the social media "noise." It's a question of comparative volume.
Deno CRUD API and JWT Authentication
They aren't yet, but they are well on their way, particularly with the upcoming Chrome cookiepocalypse.

Publishers who want to fortify their businesses have a couple things they need to do right now:

* Build their own data moats in the face of platforms like Facebook and Google leveraging their own

* Tie audience data to logged-in users, and ensure users are constantly logged-in as much as possible. If a user is logged-in, cookies are irrelevant.

* Reduce risk from privacy and data legislation. Data is now just as much (if not more so) a liability as an asset

* Strengthen their direct and PMP revenue with exclusive inventory/targeting/quality

* Reduce reliance on other vendors and platform data

* Reduce reliance on ad revenue (more on that below)

* Grow their brand to associate their inventory with the notion of "quality" and help the subscription business

So what we have is a publisher with a subscription product that is checking all of these boxes. They are positioned from the brand standpoint already, clearly have a valuable audience, and the value of their 1st party data will grow over time. Buyers who want quality inventory will need to go for direct deals or PMPs, or whatever self-serve tool they may roll out at some point if they feel they are at that point.

Further, if they can improve the quality or nature of ads served, they can actually drive higher revenue from fewer impressions. And at a certain point, you can conduct tests and research into whether that sufficiently improves the UX so as to drive incremental subscription revenue growth (which is likely considered more desirable) over what those extra impressions could have delivered. That improves the health of their subscription business and overall business long-term by better aligning their efforts with the interests of their paying subscribers, which is a win for them.

If anyone wants to talk shop some more about this, feel free to ping me (see profile) as I've dealt with this sort of scenario in a professional capacity and could go on for days about this.
I'm curious how much he was paid in this move. The biggest moves I'm aware of is Ninja and Shroud moving from Twitch to Mixer. It's been confirmed that they were each paid 20-30 million dollars.

Given that JRE is at least an order of magnitude wider in reach than the top livestreamers, I'm going to say he got at least 100 million dollars from this.

EDIT: Okay, I did a bit more digging. Apparently JRE's annual revenue is ballparked to be between 50-100 million [1]. For this deal to make sense, I think the starting point is 500 million. I think it is very likely that this was a billion dollar deal.

Is your position not analogous to saying "The point of an army is to kill people, therefore if Germany forbids its army from killing unarmed civilians then it might as well not have an army at all"?

I don't think it was cargo-culting in the case of that fab. A fab isn't like your mother's ham, which she cut in half because her mother cut it in half, only to find out that her mother had a small oven. A fab is like that tricky piece of code that has a comment on every line, but instead of one function it's 20,000 lines of that. On top of that, it takes several weeks before you know if your wafer came out okay. So when you duplicate your fab, the last thing you want to do is add more potential problems. Think of it like using a software library; you don't go rebuild the library each time you use it, you just copy it into your project. Sure, there's unnecessary piping, but you don't care. If you cared you'd write your own library in assembly language and it would be a shining example of efficiency and understanding. But maybe you just want to solve your problem and ship.

I think it's universal that any time there's a comments section on a website with at the very least a sort "air of intellectualism" (independent of whether the users are smart) the comments are generally going to be critical.

This isn't necessarily because people who think they're smart are melancholic. I think it's because praise ultimately sounds the same in the end. Because it sounds the same, it doesn't sound smart, it doesn't get upvoted, you're better off just not posting it.

On the other hand, you can sound smart and original with criticism if you word it right.

Hence why I take the critical comments with a grain of salt and pay attention to the fact that the original HN post is on the front page with 256 points at the time of this writing. A lot of people clearly really like Notion.
