Every solution has its pros and cons. Based on what people actually need, they choose the most proper tools:

-If you're really not into code, Wix or SquareSpace are good choices. But they have very limited capabilities beyond static pages.

- For dynamic pages or a full control on your website's functionality, Wordpress is an excellent choice. But it's hard to implement without any coding skill! You can have a lot of functionalities but you can't customize them if you are not a developer.

- Airtable or Notion gives you a lot of customization without any coding skills. So can make a nice dynamic page based on them with the help of an external no-code tool. Their problems? Very functional but without a decent UI!

It was my experience and I could be wrong. But as a no-techie, I think my experience could be relevant!
Some of these changes are happening in the runtime itself, so many projects will get benefits just by updating to a newer version (something you would have to do anyway to get GC improvements).

For example, System.Text.Json is the default in ASP.NET Core 3.x, updating to 3.0 would use it instead of Json.NET unless you explicitly opt-out.

In the same way many APIs are starting to accept Span<T> in addition to IEnumerable<T>, Lists or arrays, so it's easy to opt-in into that. Other APIs are using it internally to avoid copies, so you don't need to do anything to get benefits.

There was a 2013 paper titled "Mass Extinction and the Structure of the Milky Way" that you might find interesting: https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.4838 - I don't know if there have been any significant follow ups since it published.

Basically our galaxy is a spiral galaxy with four arms, and it's rotating. The center moves slower than the outside, and our sun's orbit is near the inner rim of the Orion arm. We orbit the galaxy roughly every 240 million years and in that time we cross the dense galactic arms every so often (arms aren't symmetrical).

The paper: "A correlation was found between the times at which the Sun crosses the spiral arms and six known mass extinction events."

Ask HN: Legal Concerns for Indie App?

id be tempted to clone the structure of the posts, and replace the images with some stock photos of supermodels lying down on modernist furniture with cobras and other snakes wrapped around them or lying on the floor nearby.
As other commentators have pointed out, the images used are a huge problem and red flag for me. Why would I pay for this when you’re using the kind of photoshopped images of a product I would see on a cheap Chinese reselling site? Additionally you show flexible solar panels as part of the kit breakdown but every other image of solar panels is of a rigid, non-flexible kind. So which is it?

Essentially to me you are selling your personal support and the lack of hassle for the end-user to source their own parts.

I have a hard time trusting your parts when it doesn’t even seem like you have them yourself based on the images.

(I don’t mean this to attack your character. I fully believe that you care based on your other comments. That is how it reads on the site though)
I would bet part of it is the personalisation of results on google's side, I experience the same.
youtube-dl for example is distributed as a zipapp and it seems to be distributed just fine. It only requires you to have Python installed on your system, which isn't too burdensome of a requirement on macOS/Linux. On Windows they do actually distribute a Python interpreter.
China’s position in the global semiconductor value chain
This doesn't work in germany if you are renting.

There is something called right on the facade and means that you as a renter or owner of a flat, you are not allowed to change the facade of the building which does include solar panel outside of your window.

You could put it on your balcony in a way that it is not highly visible which contradicts the usage.
Raspberry Pi 4s are powered via USB C PD. You can buy 50 Wh USB C PD battery bricks for $20 (or 100 Wh for $40). RPi4s pull between 2 W and 5 W, so you’re looking at a long, long battery life with a cheap travel battery.

> in the same way you can pay with cash in the real world.

but stuff on the web is not at all like stuff in the real world!

this is a hugely understanted problem. digital artifacts have zero reproduction cost (beyond a few volts and a couple of amperes, which are provided by whomever copies)

therefore, IMO, the market mechanism we have in place, which evolved to optimize material goods, is woefully inadequate to deal with digital "goods"

finally, this is not a technological problem, but a sociopolitical problem.

Can you post a source for this? I listened to a few bits of Brand over the years, and on this subject he'd say that there's a lot more reality out there, but humans are simply unaware of it due to our limited human senses. Nothing non obvious or controversial.
I don't know if it helps you much, but here's a list of common writing mistakes and ways to fix them: https://custom-writing.org/blog/rules-of-writing
At least it's something to start with.
Same here. I think I used both Stacker and SuperStor at different times. They'd create archives and those would show up as a D:\ and C:\ was all transparently compressed and uncompressed. They were a bit disingenuous wit the "double storage." That's why you needed to make sure you had plenty of 'free' space before installing something, because the OS lied to you about the space available. That and there was a performance penalty too.
I'd rate neither of those as particularly likely. The armed militias tend to be preppers, and are more inclined to hunker down in place and just let the cities eat themselves and descend into chaos on their own.

A military coup? Having worked in a 3-star general's headquarters for years......absolutely not.
I'm surprised they didn't mention it at all on the page. It's definitely mentioned on other pages about how to get your ads to show up on DDG.
Honestly, pip freeze includes the whole content of a venv site-packages, and the exact versions. For most projects, that's equivalent to all the dependancies recursively pins with peotry, although you don't have the clean pyproject-dev-prod/lock file separation.

So a huge number of cases can be handled with just that. It will be "reproducible" enought for a lot of people.
but that fails as soon as you have a case where you want to pass an algorithm implementation that does have state. That was my point - whenever I assumed that I would not have state... well I ended up needing to refactor everything because I ended up needing to add a new strategy that did require some state later.

In the context of C++, struct / class types are more generic that function pointers and there's no real shortcut around this - that's how the language is specified.
WordPress, because I just want to write. I've been running it since 2004 or 2005, and I don't see a point in fixing what isn't broken.
Uh... How you figure? Only the infrastructure needs to be paid for. The "switching fabric" if you will. And of course the power you use to run the computer.

It costs nothing else to put a packet out there on the Net sans doing so through a draconian metered connection, and surveillance capitalism had nothing to do with that. In fact, if anything, the fact the Net was free did more to boost surveillance capitalism than anything else.

If companies actually had to pay to collect, hold, operate on, and be privy to information about people; In Short, if there were acknowledged data privacy rights in play with regard to people's meta-information, and it was not just handed to corporations as a blank check money making asset, surveillance capitalism couldn't have gotten off the ground.
Aren’t tapes also magnetic storage?
That could explain it. I have no problem finding work, but I look young for my age. Wild hair, no grey except in my beard, and if I shave, I could easily be 15 years younger.

It's weird that employers are so superficial. But maybe they're looking for someone flexible and energetic, and if you look too old, and give off "old man" vibes, they fear you may lack that energy.
You're attacking the source instead of the information. And you continue to refrain from addressing the question: if mail-in voting is more susceptible to fraud, why are the states that have allowed it for decades not showing more fraud than states that don't?

Ask HN: Technical choices shopping for desktop virtualization solutions?
My experience with remote hosting services is limited to headless server hosting--managed,unmanaged, shared, dedicated--services. Either you're providing a service, or you need hosting for your firm. In this case my firm is the consumer.

Looking for virtual workstations for (variably) 5-10 simultaneous users for 6-months or longer. Software requirements are minimal basic business apps: Microsoft Windows OS, Miscrosoft Office 365, Chrome/Firefox web browsers, Windows-based accounting software, Python (Anaconda), and printing. Our current solution uses LogMeIn/ConnectWise to access worker's remote machines--that's the baseline user experience.

- installation of required Windows-capable software--what are the sorts of restrictions?

- user experience as compared desktop (What is persistent virtual desktop? Would you have file-tree that's not persistent?? Can I have dual-head?)

- printing capability

- We also need a dedicated server--is it common to bundle all these services on one machine or with one provider?

The Wikipedia article on Desktop Virtualization [1] describes:

- VDI service provides individual desktop operating system instances (e.g., Windows..10) for each user,

- Remote Desktop Services sessions run in a single shared-server operating system (e.g., Windows Server...).

- Desktop as a service ... Private cloud implementations...referred to as "managed VDI".

Are there performance downsides for simultaneous users?
I assume I should choose a provider close to my side of the country, but only some disclose where their 'data centers' are located--others do not.

I've already sat through one sales pitch and conference call thinking I was reviewing one product, but understand now they were selling me something with a different user experience than our baseline (Please disclose if this is your business.)

This is one thing I always appreciated more about the BeagleBone but the Pi being more popular I've gone with it as my main SBC of choice for obvious reasons. The Pi has always been cheaper as well.
I'm pretty sure this is just people finding things that were expected to exist. That's interesting but sort of the opposite of revolutionary. Like filling gaps on the periodic table in their predicted form.

This is not at all about having threads as a library. Threads are already a part of many languages anyway.

This is about how to handle parallelism and concurrency, which goes far beyond threads.

Just as working with raw pointers and no data structures with no wrappers for length or ownership is error prone, using threads by themselves doesn't scale to complex use cases without becoming intractable at a certain point, so there needs to be structure.

Most programmers will never be able to do more than trivial threading (if that) so the difficult parts needs to separated into something that is much easier but still useful, but using a new language is incredibly misguided because you give up an enormous amount without gaining anything non trivial. A language might be able to give an ironclad guarantee that a function running concurrently doesn't mutate anything, but in practice this is not hard to avoid. The difficulty comes in data structures and dependencies, because that is ultimately where the synchronization is.
The HTML5 backends are garbage. The workflow isn't streamlined like SWF and none of the Actionscript ecosystem carries over. Adobe just doesn't care about the product anymore.

You're better off using any of the game frameworks with HTML5 export, but from an accessibility standpoint, those are still a notch above Flash.
I guess it might help to reaffirm the beliefs of somebody who was teetering in their distrust of Microsoft like myself.

I've been anti-Microsoft for about 15 years but even I'll admit that I've warmed up to them over the past few years because of their seemingly good works (and amazing PR). Stuff like this helps me remember why healthy skepticism is still super important when it comes to giant companies like MS.

Please no pipenv. A horribly managed project with worse design choices than Poetry. And a confusing name to boot (it makes it sound like a clean bridge between pip and pyenv, but it's definitely not). On top of everything you can throw in Ken Reitz's ego. Literally the only reason pipenv gained traction is because there are still an unnerving number of people in the Python community that think Ken Reitz shits gold, when he is clearly more of a one-hit-wonder (love requests btw).

Even the testimonials are self-important.

> Pipenv is finally an abstraction meant to engage the mind instead of merely the filesystem.

Like, really? I want to interpret that as a joke, but I don't think it is.

Poetry should be the future of Python dependency management. I'd like to forget pipenv ever happened. Unfortunately since PyPA took pipenv under its wing, that might not happen.

How Automated Background Checks Freeze Out Renters
> This article series is a guide to modern Python tooling with a focus on simplicity and minimalism

I'm not sure using pyenv + poetry + click qualifies as a minimalist setup.
I have never had to use pyenv as I figured out it was more robust to install the python versions directly from python.org and create the appropriate symlinks. Then using the venv module which has been included in python since 3.3.
The argparser module of python is not that bad once you are used to it.

I'm not saying the tools and libs mentioned in the article shouldn't be used, it's just that they're not mandatory for whoever wants to stay close to the bare minimum.
The real problem (which is solved by conda) is that pypi doesn't solve dealing with non-python packages well (say, compile scipy and make all related native packages communicate well). This is a huge issue for people dealing with scientific packages (and the main pain point which pypi being just python-focused on installing on site-packages doesn't solve well enough IMHO).

Also, while it was initially done by a private company, I'd say it's definitely a community effort right now (it's also the reason I tend to use https://conda-forge.org/, which is community driven and not anaconda).

As for dealing with pypi, it does integrate well enough for me (given that you can just pip install packages on the python for which conda is managing the env), but yes, the other way around isn't true (conda solves a bigger problem than pypi up to the point that it's possible to even have non-python tools available -- one real use case example I have here is having innosetup binaries as a tool in the PATH in some conda env for doing builds).

Note: I don't have any affiliation with any of that, these are just my preferences for managing python envs (when I'm developing pydevd, which is the debugger engine used in pydev/pycharm/vscode, many times I need to reproduce some weird env and before using conda that was pretty annoying).
