My guess is: The problem for an American company banning the president would be they now need to establish same rules for everyone, thus banning most modern opportunists and even some loudmouth influencers. Politically, they'd need to ban most politicians, leading next to just outright banning all political speech. Twitter as a private entity is free to do so with their own platform. However, there's no way to avoid a slippery slope if the company's platform policies start getting entangled into politics. Since the company can never "win" this way or avoid suicide, they choose to do what they can as mandated to combat fake news while trying to stay neutral. You can be sure they have an army of legal specialists behind them on this approach.

Btw, calling out a bully and liar to be a bully and a liar, is not "hatred", when it can be so easily documented.

I wish I could fast-forward 5 years and see how America has responded to the pandemic.

Will America’s economic system have finally met its match with COVID, or will they be churning along with lower unemployment numbers than the EU as they have post-2007/8 pre-COVID?
This is an interesting example - I'm guessing the poster said "obtuse" where he now says "hyperbolic". While "obtuse" is definitely just an insult, literally, my experience is that it's used colloquially with an implied "deliberately" prefix to mean not "deliberately stupid/slow" but rather "deliberately avoiding some truth as a rhetorical defense". Of course, better safe than sorry.

Isn’t that just axiomatic? Of course anything you can do with a class you can do with a function + state. The prose is to make that pattern more natural for humans to program and use.

>There's one big difference in terms of convenience in many common implementations of classes and methods.

Which ones?

>However, it is much more rare to be able to store B in a variable and supply it "later". Often, you must store A.B:

How is it rare? Smalltalk doesn't require you to specify the receiver when storing a symbol. Neither does Objective-C (selector). Neither does Ruby. Nor Java.

Which commonly used languages require one to have the receiver tied to the method when memoized? C++ is the only one I'm aware of. So it might be rare to do it in C++, but not in OOP generally.

I agree; click's approach is like some kind of old-school 4GL that tries to automatically create GUI elements from your database tables, except mapping CLI to functions in your modules. People should be putting enough thought into their CLI that Click doesn't really help them much.

I really wish more CLIs would have a, ideally standard, flag to output something structured and easily parsable. One of the biggest arguments for CLIs is their composability, which is true for canonical examples like | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10 etc. However, I find myself constantly having to use awk, sed, cut, etc. far too often. A very much inexhaustive list of things one has to deal with:

- whitespace delimited with fields that contain whitespace.

- tabular lined up data that doesn't actually use tabs, and when a field is too wide, it just pushes the rest of the line over.

- 5,000 different variants of CSV

Of course some things (e.g. kubectl) have json and yaml output options, which can be nicely parsed with jq.

I also found https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc handy, which attempts to convert many commands to json output.
Well, prosecute them for arson. If they want to spend hundreds of pounds on a stick that's their business. All we can try and do is contain stupidity.
I do find that RPI life comes with a lot of add-on costs. Battery pack, input devices, display, SSD, etc. It does start to add up if you aren't using the RPI in headless mode anchored to a power cable.

However, if price is the #1 concern, it's tough to beat the RPI. I checked Amazon and the cheapest 8GB RAM laptop was $239. Or maybe a used one on eBay for ~$175.

But overall this announcement is very impressive. I foresee the SBC "arms race" heating up. I bought a Jetson Nano thinking it was overkill, but it seems the bar keeps going up...

I doubt those last long enough to act as a meaningful archival solution. Piracy sites maybe, but the links rot really damn fast.
My naive understanding is that containers do not provide complete security.

Also, I could see giving a user shell access within a container and still restricting what they do with SELinux.
I've been running stacks with venv and pip for years and it's been perfectly adequate. The main addon I use is virtualenvwrapper which basically just give sugar for mkvirtualenv and workon.

Front End Engineering. Beyond Front End Development
Trump supporter? I cannot wait for Trump to be gone. If I were a Trump supporter, I would refer to him as President or President Trump. More like person who is not triggered just by the mere mention of Trump.

I never even insinuated Obama's threats were not for good causes. Part of being a president is to execute laws and regulations which includes threats of action.

Since I have no doubt someone will take my "President" comment above out of context, I will not refer to a political figure by their former position title. To me, wishing/expecting to be referred by their former position is akin to using it as a title of nobility and expecting to be treated as nobility.

Weird times.
This post is a snapshot of one webdev's toolbox. It certainly is indicative of webdev's predilection for increasingly complex and opaque tooling, mixed-markup formats, and over-engineering (if it can even be called engineering).

You don't really need any of that stuff. That whole tooling ecosystem undergoes a rewrite every couple years, anyways, so I predict this post will not age well.

Just stick to setup.py, pip, and virtualenv. It's sufficient into all thy needs.

I've been a huge fan of webworkers in theory, but I've hated implementing them. The (until recent) lack of module support was one problem, but just getting it all set up, talking to the main thread, etc—it was all so daunting. This looks promising, though!
Heh, but that's one modern thing I don't like. Someone complained about click adding to startup time, running a new container is certainly "modern" but tiring.
My thinking is that, if he’s published papers are a large part of the means by which we share scientific knowledge, then, regardless of the underlying mechanism to be blamed (e.g., selection bias), the entire institution has become corrupted.

To illustrate, the literature that you’re describing is presumably in the form of meta-analyses published in Nature. How can we even trust that to be “reproducible” (aka correct)?

I think the correct reaction to this situation is to completely stop trusting scientists and their papers, in general. Not trusting scientists add their papers doesn’t mean disbelieving science in general; it just means the established institutions do not know how to do science correctly, and I believe this has been the case since the beginning of modern science. That means we can learn things by reading between the lines and using some common sense, but we can’t simply rely on institutions to tell us the correct answer to anything whatsoever.
It's sad to me that nobody would consider a new option unless a FAANG, or otherwise huge company, were backing it.

I concur. I've found argparse to be more straightforward and also has the benefit of being part of python itself.
The problem is that complexity is not emerging. It is being injected externally through the human input, so contradicts Dawkin's argument.
It's more the opposite, "Intelligent Design" seems to be faith dressed up as science. While this would be more faith that doesn't contradict science.
I think Google only keeps DuckDuckGo around so they can claim they have “competition.”
The benefit of pyenv seems clear to me - it's a simpler way to have multiple Python installs and manage which one is your "default" Python at a project, directory, user, system, and global level (they can even all be different).

Poetry...not so much. requirements.txt is good enough for me most of the time.

I'm sorry. This does feel like a pretty shitty situation. I hope all of this attention helps connect you with some people you go on to do great things with!
That's rough. I'm sorry you're struggling with the aftermath.

My own story may be relevant to you. FWIW:

I was really into zen as a kid. Part of my rebellion against Christianity and leaving my church. Once while meditating, I accidentally had a pretty bad trip. (I can describe the actual trip separately.) I was completely unprepared, didn't even know such a thing was possible.

It's kicked my ass ever since.

From what I read (afterwards), others have called that kind of trip ego death, death-rebirth, religious experience.

In buddhist terms, if that was the 2nd stage, I had ZERO interest in experiencing the 3rd stage, much less the 4th stage (aka "enlightenment").

A few months later, I was diagnosed with an acute life threatening disease. I was hospitalized for months, spent a few years recovering.

So the upside to having the living shit scared out of me while meditating was that actual near death real experiences were emotional cake walks. My care providers were like "Who is this kid?!" My family was less amused by my apparent blasé attitude.

Any way. To wrap this up.

We're all going get "there" one way or another. You're gonna die. It's all pointless. Yadda, yadda.

But you can choose to resume your normal life. You cope. You adapt. Fake it, if you have to, like I did. And eventually the habit of day to day living, striving, struggling, smelling the roses will become your new normal. Most of the time.

Just one caveat. Your pharmacology can absolutely change your brain, personality, outlook. Mental well being isn't just happy self-talk. Mind and body are inseparable. So figure out that other stuff too, if needed.

See that's the thing, it's not your post. It's all public.

Twitter does not have private posts like Facebook does, nor does this change purport to make such a thing. Its design is specifically to allow people to amplify their own personal echo chamber, and pre-silence disagreement.

The UI designer (hired from Facebook) who created the tool defended it with the notion that people should "want to watch people they admire have conversations" (his words).

That's not social interaction, that's television. A one way communication medium in which the screen tells the observer what to think.
Haha this is how I first read the title. It should probably read: "Swarm satellites probe the Earth’s weakening magnetic field".
It may potentially be illegal, given that "deliberate interference" is a criminal offence contrary to section 68 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006. [0]

~~~

(1) A person commits an offence if he uses apparatus for the purpose of interfering with wireless telegraphy.

(2) This section applies—

(a) whether or not the apparatus in question is wireless telegraphy apparatus;

...

~~~

Obviously, the "purpose" of the person using the anti-5G USB stick would need to be established. Given the law doesn't mention anything about having any effect on wireless telegraphy, presumably as long as mens rea is established the offence is made out.

There are also other potential offences around consumer misselling, false advertising, etc.

Yeah I've seen more and more people switching to Ubuntu's 64 bit build just because there are a lot more arm64-compatible things floating around now than armv7. I'll be happy to not have to spend so much time compiling things for the 32-bit OS!
I would argue that Rust removes a class of bugs. Not because the language is better, but because the compiler just does not allow it. It will not let you build your executable if that type of bug exists. For example you could still do something like a SQL injection attack using something compiled with Rust. The C compilers should be doing the same as Rust (some are, but usually at the warn level). Static analysis is not a new thing.

Usually the best thing any C/C++ developer can do is crank the warn levels as high as they can go. Then set the project to error out on warn. A good code smell for a project is when you see one that has turned off warnings. Usually the reason is 'too noisy'. I always tell my junior devs the same thing 'the compiler is trying to tell you something all you have to do is listen'.
I host a static website on a Raspberry Pi 3 and it's been running very well for about 3 years. It's static HTML and it also serves files. It's hosted by a provider with a "Pi Cloud". https://www.mythic-beasts.com/order/rpi

The website is https://www.piwheels.org - it's a Python package repository for Raspberry Pi users

It's served over 20M downloads, which is 70TB. Currently serving 1.2M downloads a month (4.4TB).

A cheap VPS would be easier, better and about the same price. But piwheels is a bit of a dogfooding project. But it works!

Ask HN: Anyone being ordered back into the office?
I work for a small (~100 employees) electronics manufacturer. Most of our developers have been working from home since mid-March. We have been ordered to return to the physical office, despite an ongoing uptick in COVID19 cases in the area. Despite safety precautions, myself and many of my co-workers are concerned and uncomfortable with this. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced a similar situation, and if so - how did you handle it?
Click has one feature which is huge for me: parsing env variables following some pattern eg MYAPP_FOO.

For lazy import - You can do it with click, too, just put your imports in your entrypoint functions.

Click isn't minimalistic though. Nor is poetry or pyenv. Seems to be the main complaints about the article.
Also the 2015 13" rMBP is still a great design even today.
I generally think that paper and pencil are far superior to electronic machines for voting. Algorithms and computing can enable methods to support paper voting.

Clarification: serial number is mailed with the ballot, contains a signature (like two part keys for API f.ex.). You submit the serial for signing through authentication mechanism (verifying the voter). The signature can be either PKI or hash. This way you can validate serials, signatures and have them independent from the ballot after separation. If you have designated drop-off locations you insure the ballots are tamper-proof after being filled out (barring massive system-wide fraud).
