I find the big benefit of Altair is that the API is so nice and composable, and because vega provides a ton out of the box to build really high quality visualisations.

For instance, if you take this (sample) report using Altair to plot Default Alive / Default Dead: https://datapane.com/leo/reports/startup_finance_report/ - the interactive code is actually relatively small: https://gist.github.com/lanthias/5a41c1e4b21ae274ddb95cf5ad1...

It's also great being able to add Altair shapes to Folium for geoplotting (as the vega geoplotting is a bit more low-level).

What I really think is missing in the ecosystem is a "vega for tables", so you could be rich, interactive tables with a similar grammar. That would rock.

You can start multiple threads within the same process that don't use an event loop, but run preemptively nonetheless, which will introduce GIL to the thread with an event loop. For instance, you can have a ThreadPoolExecutor running in the same process as the thread with an instantiated event loop.

Sampling. It probably feels good hand-waving away the problem of "does this study apply to everyone?" by introducing the "representative sample" construct, but it has its problems and I doubt they will be ever solved. You can't speak for everyone when you have several thousands samples -- out of ~8 billion people.

This is kind of akin to that artificially absurd example of "on average, every human on Earth has one testicle". (And don't get nitpicky here, please; it might be "median" or another term, and that's not the point.)

What your parent poster says is that this article is kind of hiding behind science to be able to claim a generalisation it makes is true. Which it still isn't. Most people I asked said they prefer dark mode. Some said they like light mode. This article changes none of that.

Exactly the same for me. I find it so uncomfortable that I won't use any darkmode interface and pretty much always shun darkmode web pages.

My worst experience was with jsFiddle. They switched to darkmode only, which ended my use of the site for a long time. I just recently found this GreaseMonkey script https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/403402-jsfiddle-light-them... that puts jsFiddle back to light mode.

I use async for UI work, but don't have much of an opinion for servers.

I suspect that the best async is that supported by the server OS, and the more efficiently a language/compiler/linker integrates with that, the better. JIT/interpreted languages introduce new dimensions that I have not experienced.

I do have some prior art in optimizing libraries, though. In particular, image processing libraries in C++.
My opinion is that optimization is sort of a "black art," and async is anything but a "silver bullet." In my experience, "common sense" is often trumped by facts on the ground, and profilers are more important than careful design.

I have found that it's actually possible to have worse performance with threads, if you write in a blocking fashion, as you have the same timeline as sync, but with thread management overhead.

There are also hardware issues that come into play, like L1/2/3 caches, resource contention, look-ahead/execution pipelines and VM paging. These can have massive impact on performance, and are often only exposed by running the app in-context with a profiler. Sometimes, threading can exacerbate these issues, and wipe out any efficiency gains.

In my experience, well-behaved threaded software needs to be written, profiled and tuned, in that order. An experienced engineer can usually take care of the "low-hanging fruit," in design, but I have found that profiling tends to consistently yield surprises.

Light on dark is always a bit blurrier for dark on light, because your eyes will tend to defocus when looking at a darker scene to compensate for the overall lower amount of light. This also increases the effect of optical aberrations, so those with astigmatism and the like may be affected to the point that a lighter background becomes preferable.
This seems like a really fun problem and I think you found the solution with the best cost/effort ratio. The first thing that sprung to mind on seeing the problem for me was to use the fact that products often come in several colour variations but use very similar images for each. If you mask out the parts of the image that are similar you can get the single 'actual' colour as it might be labeled by a human. This would also allow you to search for neutral tones like grey and black.

And seeing as you've gone to all the trouble of figuring out how to grab dominant colours from images, why not allow users to upload an image of their logo and grab the dominant colour from that? This could help avoid the problem of having noticably different shades, without making the user do anything technical like searching with an RGB value and a threshold.

First round of reading about a topic I don't write down anything because of flow-problems the author mentioned. It also helps with getting a view beyond the horizon. Then I try to write a good summary. Writing something really helps with memorizing. Curiously, I think the effect is much weaker when typing something on a machine.

Rereading my summary gives me an impression of how well I understood a topic. If it is just incoherent rumblings, I probably should revisit the topics in question. So it can also be a good self test.

Such an iterative approach takes time though...

Yes, it probably correlates with ambient light. I like light mode but I also like to open the blinds, turn on the lamps etc, as opposed to the stereotypical dark basement hacking with a hoodie on.

Dark mode is also very often buggy, clumsy, the color schemes for syntax highlight are subjectively less pleasing, it feels gloomier, less cheerful, I see more distracting dust on the screen, smudges etc. Yeah I could also clean it more etc. The point is there can be multiple equilibra, one develops habits and preferences. It's not an absolute thing.

No. That's what's happening in some American unions (not all!), but it's not true in Denmark (for any union!), by the sound of it from the above post, in Sweden.
I use dark mode when it's low light in my surroundings and a lighter colored mode when it's daylight. This is because I find that my monitor reflects more shine/glare when I have dark mode on in the daytime. And in the evening/night the white is also too bright, even though I am using f.lux etc.
While this commentator invested far less effort than the scientists in reaching his result about dark mode, he also has no benefits from you choosing to believe him or not. You are in fact choosing to see the brand "science" as something transcendental that doesn't concern any incentive structures, which if false and opens you to lots of manipulation.

How do you effectively develop if you can't reliably talk to the DB in dev due to configuration, system updates, security, schema changes, and a myriad of other time-consuming hard to diagnose problems?

> In the abstract I'm not sure what a test that talks to the database is actually testing.

Well, presumably the reason that you have a DB in the first place is that your application requires a DB for some of its functionality. So how do you make sure this functionality works if you don't talk to the DB?

Don't get me wrong -- I love that you refuse to accept ridiculously slow tests and enforce a 100ms deadline; I wish everything I was working on had the same approach. But unless you have some specific requirements (like talking to a proprietary cloud DB), you should maybe investigate if you might not have to accept slow and flaky DBs in dev or CI either. My experience is you don't.
Why not conduct your own experiment, using Science?

1. Start with a hypothesis, that "dark mode is less comfortable for me than light mode".

2. Design an experiment: find the sites that you use most. Use them for 10 minutes each in light mode and dark mode. Write down your impressions.

3. Build a conclusion: was your hypothesis correct? Was it partially correct for some sites?

Then you can adapt your behaviour according to your new, Scientifically-proven knowledge.

Science isn't faith-based, but there are a ton of problems with Academia and the way Science is practised and published at the moment. Science is also not connected with Academia - the scientific method doesn't need a university grant to work. You can literally conduct your own experiment in a couple of hours (as above) to get better information than any study. Not publishing it doesn't make it any less scientific.

It makes no sense to me to trust an unknown number of studies over my personal experience. I prefer dark mode. I'll stick with that. You do you.

I find it weird that people feel the need to defend dark mode preferences based on arguments about why they think it's "objectively" better.

Does it matter? I mean, do you have to have a reason for preferring dark mode? I like dark mode because it looks better (to me).

I also prefer multi-color boxer shorts over white briefs. Does there have to be a justification? No. It's an aesthetic choice just like dark-mode, font-size, and color-temperature.

Chrome may be using a lot of active memory, but I don’t think it’s a result of poor programming practices. So I don’t see how switching to Rust would solve the problem. Unless Chrome has a memory leak problem.

If anything, Chrome can just offload the contents of the unused tabs to the hard drive, and reload it when it becomes active again. But this will require a massive architectural change to the core program itself.

As a person who uses Go i don't need day by day updates to know that the Go team is working hard on generics. I trust that they are & indeed they are.

This is untrue.

In January this year the Go team wrote[1]; "Module support is in good shape and getting better with each day, and we are also making progress on the generics front (more on that later this year)."

If you looked at the draft/experimental[2] branch where generics development has been taking place, you can see that it has had activity as late as just last week.

In the featherweightGo presentation, Phil Wadler said Rob Pike wrote to him asking if he would be interested in working with the Go team so that they can figure out generics and try and get them right. And that is how featherweightGo came to be.

So a lot has/is been happening.

Is there a timeout on repetitive chat? In RL you're temporarily blocked from chat after repeating the same phrase three times. Solves the repetition issue.

As for sarcasm, yeah that can be used to harass people but only mildly. I consider that about the least toxic possible form of chat in a competitive video game where people want to engage.

If someone hits the ball into their own goal at least someone from the team that got the goal will say "Nice shot!" sarcastically. Mildly toxic but everyone's done it at least once before and so there's usually someone else chiming in with "No problem." Ultimately works out really well. Sometimes people quit but it's rare and it's usually due to embarrassment than anger.

Edit: just to be clear, I agree with the premise that it's an unsolvable arms race with the community. I just meant to say that RL's implementation was pretty good considering that fact.
