Actually, this may be what he wants. You force them to take heavy action handed responses (likely censoring). Then complain loudly about the coordinated efforts of social media giants against them. Sell it as the "establishment strikes back", walk your way to reelection.

As said in upper comment, use zipapps. Don't ship your entire env in prod.

Deployment then just become:

- build zipapp
- upload zipapp
- ensure python interpretter
- run zipapp

Which is just one more step than go.
We need a popular, distributed Twitter where people can choose what they want and we can put this to rest.
This is fantastic news. Social media mega corps chose this. They couldn’t resist the urge to censor their opposition and in doing so went from a platform to a publisher. Once you choose to censor non-illegal content you are implicitly endorsing all the other non-illegal content you fail to remove and therefore liable.

This should push these corrupt companies to either go full “endorsed contributor” (aka what blue check marks actually are) OR back to the “we remove only content which is illegal”. No more pretending to walk the line creating an “open community” that’s actually just an echochamber.
Landlord-friendly, but perhaps not city-friendly. In a lot of big cities (i.e., where us apartment dwellers tend to live), it's illegal to hang something like that out your window because of the risk of injury to people down on the sidewalk.

That picture of it basically just propped up on the window ledge makes me particularly nervous. That's leaving you one gust of wind away from being out a few hundred bucks' worth of solar panel and few thousand bucks' worth of personal liability.

I like the idea of creating green energy options that are more portable, but this one seems just a bit too portable. Perhaps there's a need some sort of mounting system like what they do for window unit air conditioners, where it's a bit more securely secured?

(edit: I'm also having second thoughts on whether this is actually an good idea from an environmental perspective. If you do heat or air condition, I'm guessing you'll lose vastly more energy due to leaving your window slightly gapped in order to run a wire through it than you gain in from the solar panel.)
In defense of Zuckerberg, he has always maintained this hands off stance.
But isn't the reality that facebook is already an arbiter of truth when it banned Alex Jones?
I much rather prefer if these platforms owned up their responsibility like Twitter did.
No, and there is nothing hyper modern about it either.

It's a Python stack that solves some problems for a part of the community.
Bad idea by Twitter. If Trump wins this, it will gives him even more power. Shouldn't have poke the giant. Should have left it alone.
Vim and VS Code have access to semantic code completion through the language server protocol.

But your assertion is weird. Either you work on Windows where everyone is on Visual Studio, or you have 95/100 people around you using CLion, XCode, and Qt Creator, two of which don't even have an entry on GP's survey link. One of which is probably only used to sign apps for ios. Could you give more info?
I'm sure I'll draw a bunch of anger from mostly the same people who think anything made by Anheuser-Busch isn't a real beer but last I checked normal Heinz ketchup was pretty universal across the americas and europe.
My thing with self hosting is that I'm using a shared plan. I currently have over 500 feeds, and I don't think they'd be all that happy about it if well... um... I decided to use RSS on their servers.
Twitter and Facebook should close down his accounts. Fight fire with fire.
For comparisons sake:

class Thing:
def __init__(self, arg):
# expensive precompute
self.result = ...

def __call__(self, arg):
# cheap stuff that uses self.result for something
...

And then usage is:

f = Foo("some val")
bar = f("another val")

So yeah, both definitely do the same job. And your pattern is probably faster. But I generally like using Python's dunder methods as I think they allow for more consistent/recognizable code patterns.
Sadly, I experienced the opposite. I also have a history of depression and panic disorders (not social, however), and I was getting better before the quarantine. When the quarantine struck about a week after I started feeling hopelessness as if I have no control in life anymore. Like things, bad things will happen to me, and I will not be able to cope with it.

Then memories over past mistakes took over, and I started obsessing on every little bad thing I've ever done. As time went by these thoughts filled my head for the most of the day, and because of quarantine restrictions, I wasn't able to do much to shake them off. Anybody else experienced something similar?

> Those exist?

For sure. Most of the backends we write only return JSON. If you request HTML or any other content-type, we return nothing. We just don't implement it.

If you write your backend from scratch and only intend for it to be used only with your web front-end, you can make it return bits of HTML (I have several applications in jQuery that work like this -- the value of the response just gets inserted via ("#id").html(val)).

Our current backends are written to support multiple generic consumers of which a web front-end is only one.
> Publishers normally know when their content is being consumed.

They still know when their content is being consumed. They just don't know when their content is being searched for until the user clicks their link, exactly like a snippet. Does that make sense now? My point was that search engines already show cached portions of the page. Read the parent comment of my first "snippet" comment to understand why I was making that point.
> But most of the time we spend on the web today is no longer on the open Internet - it's on private services like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Ultimately there are three good reasons for this, which the author doesn't address at all.

The first is spam and abuse. The problem with a purely "open web" is that there's no solution to those, because of bad actors. The only solution we've found so far are centralized organizations which can run sophisticated machine learning and hire thousands of moderators.

The second is aggregation and discoverability. What good is it to publish if nobody finds you? Matching what people want to read, with the content they'll like (and not turning it into a firehose) is a really hard problem which, again, open standards basically do nothing for.

And then of course the third is monetization. There's a lot of amazing content on, e.g. YouTube, that wouldn't have been created if it weren't for monetization, because it takes content creators time that they'd otherwise have to spend at a job.

Now if we can create open standards that work as well as centralized solutions for all three of these... then we're talking.
I find the whole convoluted whack-a-mole approach to the problem of spreading misinformation to be so pathetic. Much like drugs, so long as there is demand for misinformation, we will always have a supplier. It doesn't matter how many regulations you throw at the problem of spreading it. Elections are won and lost on misinformation, and some elections can be "worth" tens of billions of dollars to the winner.

If you want to stop the effects of spreading misinformation, attack the demand side. Educate people. Or, on the more draconian side, don't let uneducated people vote.
What happens when people start making false ads about Zuckerberg on FB? Does he feel the same way and let it ride out?
Generally I’d expect the staff to understand how the machinery of government works by this point in an administration. First hundred days is one thing. This looks more like a forgery especially after the discussions that have cropped up recently on the TeX StackExchange in terms of forging outputs.
I feel like the Airline industry does this when they say, “only 4 more tickets left!” Or “2 tickets recently purchased!”

There’s probably some terminology for this in game theory (well, general salesmanship too)
yeah, I was a bit ambitious and required an AVX cpu for the alpha but you're the second person with a CPU without even SSE4 in less than two weeks so I'll revert to a SSE2 baseline :/

Remember, in the 1800s people thought the Sun was burning coal.
Did that a lot, but honestly, these days I find google unusable. The add section at the top seems to be steadily creeping down, replacing more and more actual search results; googles attempt to remove URLs from the web annoys me to no end because I often go by URI more than by title and the fact that DDG has the sites favicon next to the URI oh boy that's a useful feature. In fact, I'd say favicons are what I go for 80% of the time; and using google I just feel like I'm completely blind. The additional clutter (top stories, twitter links, etc.) only make it even harder to visually parse what I want.

And then there's DDGs option to quickly switch to results in germany and back to international, depending on what I need.

>Iran is a fascist nation that is a regional nuisance.

Absolutely the same could be said about Saudi Arabia.

Yes storming the USA embassy was wrong, but so was Flying two Airplanes into towers (i think you know very well ho founded Al-Qaida), and the whole Yemen-War is nothing, right?

I did not even started with the hole Nuclear-Contract that the US broke up, just to bring Iran (again) in a unbearable position.

It's funny, when the US makes mistakes then it's just 'run by humans, and humans make mistakes', but when Iran does it, then it's 'began existence by breaking global norms'
Urllib and surrounding web-API modules have made such great strides (and are built in in 3.x) that Requests isn't needed in almost all cases these days - I find some of the error handling it covers over at lower levels to be more problematic than useful.

90% of the time the only lines in my requirements.txt file are for PyYAML and Jinja2.

Using just the Python standard library is the ideal case for scripts and other sysadmin-ey tools - no dependencies, runs with everywhere (tested in multiple python versions via tox) in a single source file.
Neither is perfect. Tests are only as good as your imagination of what to test. Proof by construction is only as good as your ability to have the right axioms

Someone recently recommended a particular philosophy as a more natural fit for westerners than Buddhism or other Eastern religions/philosophies. The reason given was that it originates in Europe which not even Christianity does. I couldn't remember what it was but reading your post I've a feeling it might be Stoicism.
Beautiful, now we get to sit back and watch supposedly "anti-corporate" liberals argue that multi-billion dollar mega-corporations should be policing the information that is available to the people because X (safety, racism, danger!)

It is lovely because it illustrates what despots they really are, and how intolerant they are of information spreading they don't agree with.

Neither the government nor big-business should have control of our public forums.

Twitter, Facebook, Reddit have become so important to political discourse, I can easily see 1st Amendment protections being extended to the users, despite the private ownership of the spaces. I certainly hope things go in that direction.
There's no reason to think that they wouldn't be bullied and cajoled into keeping up one "side's" volatile posts and taking down the other's, precedent or reasonableness be damned. Particularly if that becomes the path of least federal blowback and shareholder impact.
Books are my life and my Kindle library has reached 1,200+ in 7 years of reading ebooks.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. (Pretty much my maxim).

They could have approached the project owner, said they'd like to use the structure under the MIT license and offered a job/cash as a thank you for his dev time.

They could at least send the guy a fish, if his contribution was significant.

Hah, yes I saw that but that makes more sense to me as a panoramic artifact. The duplicated woman with different colors seems like a (possibly ML-driven?) attempt to make a more “realistic” looking photo.

One of the last articles I created on Wikipedia was of Sunder Katwala[1] who at the time was head of the Fabian Society[2]. Shortly after, a deletionist calling itself Wireless Keyboard stuck a Speedy Deletion notice[3] on my article, even though it was patently obvious to anyone who bothered to follow the links why he was notable.

I've only ever created one Wikipedia article since then. Fuck Wikipedia and fuck deletionists.

Funny you mention math. That's the one area where I ditch Google in favor of Wolfram Alpha.
Having the browser make one request per npm bundle sounds awful. It’s great if client has fast internet and server is close by, or mostly localhost, but latency will play a far bigger role than the 50ms startup time. That’s not a good metric to look at.

The metric that corresponds to user experience is cold compile + page reload time, incremental compile + page reload time i.e. How long before I press enter on a command and I see something usable in a browser to devloop on.

If you let the browser load the first file, parse and figure out the next file to load, a large project could have 100s of roundtrips. That’s why JS bundlers were created in first place. To avoid the cost of a long critical chain.

Using a device from Africa (Uganda) to connect to US servers, one feels how bad an experience latency can make. More and more development is done on cloud machines or remote host, so this isn’t a rare usecase.

What I do hope for is if there is a new bundler, it can use the webpack plugin ecosystem. It’s massive and anything new has to foster a similar ecosystem of tooling.

Or please just make webpack fast with incremental disk compiles. I would pay money for that.
Agreed. And there are laws against this sort of thing, and the regulators are slowly but surely catching up to the fact that they will have to start actually enforcing them.

That has been one reason why I prefer DDG to google since day 1; I can tell it to give me stuff from my region, or just international. Considering I use the internet in english 98% of the time but occasionally need something specific to Germany, that's very useful indeed :D
It’s strange.

The actual fact check leaned HEAVY on “if voting fraud increases or not with mail in ballots”. Speculation getting fact checked seems like it should be a no-no.

The fact check on “everyone gets a ballot” undoubtedly and rightfully should have been clarified. That was poorly worded bad information by the President. Again though, third bullet down and what they are back peddling to as the reason for it.

Twitter screwed this up.

In the U.S., friends who have taken the test report wait times of up to 7 days for results, during which time the person being tested could catch COVID even if the result is negative. There is also a problem with false negatives (~3%, https://www.unionleader.com/news/health/coronavirus/state-of...).

But I have also read some other countries like Taiwan and Korea have better testing regimens in place, which high accuracy and fast results. Could Hawaii implement such a system for incoming travellers?

You either believe social networks are like malls or like public parks. In a mall, you can't say whatever you want, you get kicked out because it's private property. In a park, you won't get kicked out.

If you believe social networks are like public parks, then they should be owned like public parks no?

This is what I don't like about the common law. The copyright law of my country, for example, explicitly defined what is copyrightable and what is not. It's the expression that is protected by copyright law, not the mere idea. Not by a bunch of existing case laws.

An mere idea like a man was bitten by an irradiated spider and got some super natural power, or turtles by the age of 13-19 somehow mutated and become a ninja is not protected, but the expression of such idea is.
I believe that at the heart of this move is the far right's confusion on the first amendment and the equal protection clause. They have perverted the principles so far from their spirit and past rulings, that they now believe being a-holes makes them a protected class... And yet, they still demand that its their right to refuse to bake a cake for an actual protected class... hmmm.

In the end. I foresee mountains of lawsuits against the right-wing media. Most of which do not have the resources to defend. They are literally cutting off their nose to spite their face. This is the definition of myopia and greed. So very Trump...

Be kind. These are just my opinions, and like always, I could be wrong :)

My experience is that these small computers don't even do well at 1Gbps. When I worked on Google Fiber, we really wanted to implement a speed test between our routers and some trusted server, but the chipset we used couldn't generate data fast enough. (We could route at 1Gbps because it took a hardware fast path, but the software-only path wasn't good enough to provide useful speed tests.) I have subsequently tested RPi4s at another ISP, and again, we couldn't get a gigabit out of them.

In fact, I have never gotten 10Gbps out of any software-only path. Routers can do it, but it's hardware accelerated and won't generate packets at that speed. I did recently get 7Gbps out of normal Internet usage, though, with a consumer-grade 10Gbps NIC on an Intel system. Pretty decent, but not 10Gbps.

Much optimization is necessary to make 10Gbps a thing. It's not a focus for $35 single-board computers. Those things are just obsolete phone chipsets in a desktop form factor; don't expect much out of them.
