> I wonder what the end game is

I don't know, it's like a massive catch-22. People are sick of police abuses, but society needs police to some extent. I agree with much of what the protests are about, but struggle with their solutions.
I lived there in 2016, next to the Rite Aid outside (or maybe inside?) the CHAZ. The homeless situation was absolutely terrible for an American city. Sure it's not as bad as shanty towns I've seen in India or Malaysia, but it wasn't good. Housing was/is insane with shared rooms anywhere near the city being $700 and a 1 bedroom to yourself going for ~$2k. Not as bad as SF/The Bay, but still not good by any means.

Sure it's not "overrun," but there are a lot of them, and not enough jobs or affordable housing.

People complained about homeless people coming into the city for the benefits and I thought that was just a myth the Amazon employees would spew, but I talked to a social worker who told me that's true and that her office dealt with a lot of people who came to Seattle because of their programs and benefits.
Elon was almost certainly not a billionaire when he founded SpaceX. His share of the PayPal sale was $165 million, of which he used $100 million to capitalize SpaceX. He may have had a bit more money in addition to the PayPal payout, but not another $835 million. Certainly not multiple billions.

Edit to add: Elon was first included on the Forbes list of billionaires in 2012, 10 years after he founded SpaceX. At that time Forbes estimated his net worth at $2 billion. In October 2011 they estimated his net worth at $680 million.

No, I used it correctly for what I was saying. Don't put words in my mouth please.

MDI has not been removed. It's been DEPRECIATED as in it's still there and it still works (kinda) but MS no longer see value in it's function. My terminology for what I was saying was correct.

How are you bound by union rules if none of your employees are members? I don't understand. Did the trade show organizer include a clause in your contract that you have to use union workers for certain jobs?
So one might expect the taco joint to be the most popular.

But explicitly the parent is saying that the taco joint is more popular than all of the burger joints _combined_. Which is not what I would have guessed.
>If he hadn’t started the company, these people would still have found ways to build things, perhaps even under less heinous conditions.

If they had the opportunity to build things in better conditions, why aren't they already doing that?

Look at it this way, if nobody did what Bezos did, nobody quit their job to try starting a business (bearing in mind something like over 90% of businesses fail, so it's a significant risk), then there wouldn't be any jobs. We'd all still be subsistence farmers. And this is essentially the condition that the world was in before we had a government/legal system that allowed people to create and grow businesses free from molestation.

If not for Bezos, Amazon wouldn't exist, and all the beneft people gained from the superior convenience, prices and delivery speed it offered compared to competitors would have been lost.
I'm not sure that this is the sole reason why light-on-dark is bad with astigmatism: because, presumably, the article about keynote slides was including presentations given in lit rooms—and eyes famously don't adjust too fast, so I don't think the pupils would react much to dark slides in a lit room. But that's only my conjectures.
This is true, but I fear that such people get idolized and the JB Straubel and Wozniaks of the world get sidelined.

I'll add my recommendation for [OneCommander](https://mobile.twitter.com/onecommander) as a better alternative to File Explorer. it uses modified Miller Columns (like what you see in OSX/Finder) for file display. V3 alpha is hopefully out in a few weeks.

I still can't get the left sidebar in file explorer to scroll properly. Its speed of scroll is directly tied to the width of the sidebar.
What you describe is more like Blue Origin, where Bezos can just comfortably pump in a billion each year to build up his rocket company.

Paypal sold for 1.5B [1], and Musk just got 165 million.

That's not a lot of money for building a space company, especially while buying into and growing Tesla at the same time.

Musk risked and almost lost everything, with both SpaceX and Tesla coming close to bankruptcy at the same time.

The SpaceX approach of ignoring conventions, building components in house on the cheap, plus Musks drive/vision and capability to attract young and motivated (relatively cheap) employees probably made the difference there. As well as ultimately attracting Nasa funding to develop a commercially viable rocket.

> But threads require more system overhead, and eventually adding more threads will reduce performance.

Absolutely false. OS threads are orders of magnitude lighter than any Python coroutine implementation.
Sure you 'fully load' costs on employees. But you have to have a building etc, no matter if its full. Not quite fair to divide 'cost of doing business' across employees, and mistakenly assume hiring another employee is going to change that.

And yes, 1/3 is a small fraction. A large fraction would be 2/3 etc. I think I said that right, its normal mathematical usage.

Anyway, its all talking thru our hats. In Russia for instance during the early Soviet years, they had no weekends. Only occasional holidays. So 40 hours is heaven compared to that.

Honestly, 'full-time' Americans at least, typically get 114 days off a year. Out of 365. Pretty soft life.
> Otherwise Rust could be making system-provided, dynamically linked libraries almost impossible

They're very much possible; they're just limited to using the C ABI when interacting with dynamically-linked code. More complex features can be implemented by providing thin wrappers as part of language-specific bindings.
For an example of how unions can get involved in unexpected ways, take a look at the SAG releases for participating in hobby projects (eg 48 Hour Film Festival). It's just an additional piece of paperwork, but it does demonstrate a dynamic that the union has a legitimate interest in overseeing and could just as well prohibit. A software union would surely become involved in bootstrapped startups, hackathons, and work on Free software. It's possible for these areas to be treated intelligently by a union, but it's also possible they wouldn't be.

this paper describes rr, which for context was designed to be used on commodity hardware: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.02144.pdf

section 4.4 talks about disk requirements:

> Memory-mapped files are almost entirely just the executables and libraries loaded by tracees. As long as the original files don’t change and are not removed, which is usually true in practice, their clones take up no additional space and require no data writes

> Like cloned files, cloned file blocks do not consume space as long as the underlying data they’re cloned from persists.

they conclude the section with:

> In any case, in real-world usage trace storage has not been a concern

I imagine that over "longer debugging sessions" the metadata footprint would expand linearly, but probably with a constant smaller than the logs for the average program.
It works great for our auto-generated visualsitemaps.

> Change your app to make 3 parallel requests to httpbin, collect the responses and insert them into the database. That's an actually realistic asyncio workload

I don't see how that is a more "realistic" asyncio workload.

It might be a workload that async is better suited for, but the point of the article is to compare async web frameworks, which will often be used just to fetch and return some data from the db.

If you had an endpoint which needed to fetch 3 items from httpbin and insert them in the db it may make sense to use asyncio tools for that, even within the context of a web app running under a sync framework+server like Falcon+Gunicorn.

In my experience Python web apps (Django!) often spend surprisingly little time waiting on the db to return results, and relatively a large amount of time cpu-bound instantiating ORM model instances from the db data, then transforming those instances back into primitive types that can be serialized to JSON in an HTTP response. In that context I am not surprised if sync server with more processes is performing better. In this test it's not even that bad... the 'ORM' seems to be returning just a tuple which is transformed to a dict and then serialized.

It might even be more specific than regional, I’m sure there are different clusters of people with different views. There is one colleague of mine, who I’m sure has a whole social circle that agrees with him, that has long maintained that America should take the Sweden model.

The idea is to filter so that it only shows Python. Not to compare with other languages.

This is my understanding of what a G2-Item Anti-dependecy Cycle is from the linked paper example:

-- Given (roughly) the following transactions:

-- Transaction 1 (SELECT, T1)
with all_employees as (
select sum(salary) as salaries
from employees
),
department as (
select department, sum(salary) as salaries
from employees group by department
)
select sum(all_employees.salaries) - sum(department.salaries);

-- Transaction 2 (INSERT, T2)
insert into employees (name, department, salary)
values ('Tim', 'Sales', 70000);

-- G2-Item is where the INSERT completes between all_employees and department,
-- making the SELECT result inconsistent

This is called an "anti-dependency" issue because T2 clobbers the data T1 depends on before it completes.

They say Elle found 6 such cases in 2 min, which I'm guessing is a "very big number" of transactions, but can't figure out exactly how big that number is based on the included logs/results.

Also, "Elle has found unexpected anomalies in every database we've checked"
Well in Seattle, the major outbreak was in Kirkland at that senior center. We know now even in NYC, the vast majority of fatalities happened in senior and assisted living centers. Over 70% of fatalities in Canada, Ohio and other places have been elderly care centers[0].

It's pretty clear this disease wasn't anywhere near as bad as everyone was predicting, and I expect the 100k US fatality number to drop once a year has past and we can put some real data analysis on it. A lot of people have died due to not being able to get medical care too, and those 2nd order effects of these lockdowns will also be significant.

Fair enough, and apologies accepted. I agree that many social studies lack rigor. And, unfortunately, it also happens quite a lot with more technical topics in which it is much easier to be objective.

I get easily triggered when science is presented as a matter of faith, but in fact I totally agree with your skeptical point of view.

The media already tried this tactic once and failed: with the release of the "Joker" film. Remember all the hysteria about angry white incels?

But in a lot of the YT comment sections I read the atmosphere was "We're on to these scumbags, everybody just be chill, don't prove them correct."

> This assumes most of development time is spent writing the actual code.
The counter argument is, that most of the time spent on such advanced projects is figuring out which path to take.

is a great wording of the problem. Added to my favorite comments.
Sigh. Async is somewhat orthogonal to parallel.

You are making dinner. You start to boil water for the potatoes. While that happens, you prepare the beef. Async.

You and your girlfriend are making dinner. You do the potatoes, she does the beef. Parallel.

You can perhaps see how you could have asynchronous and parallel execution at the same time.

In the context of a Web server, a request is handled by a single Python process (so don’t give me that “OS scheduler can do other things”). Async matters here because your request turnover can be higher, even if the requests/sec remains the same.

In the cooking example, each request gets a single cook. If that cook is able to do things asynchronously, he will finish a single meal faster.

If it were only parallel, you could have more cooks - because they would be less demanding - but they would each be slower.
>It makes no sense to me to trust an unknown number of studies over my personal experience

Your personal experience is incapable of judging your performance in visual-acuity tasks and proofreading tasks, or determining the level of eyestrain caused when using light or dark mode.

Meanwhile, the scientists aren't trying to change your mind over which one is "more comfortable." They are trying to determine why you find something more comfortable and how well your the various options perform.
I hate the laughter at the vegetable garden. Oh lets mock people for planting what could be food where it used to a a useless piece of turf. We shouldn't be mocking them we should be following their example across the country.
I don't see how being negative allow one to not back anything, I can say something sucks, but I'd have to explain why. And people will get called for shitting on something, see the GP comment.

I'd even say you're less likely to be called out for being negative without giving an explanation than being positive without giving an explanation.

Though it's usually easier to explain why something sucks than why something is great, since a negative explanation has only to find which part don't work, rather than explaining why something is globally good.

If your monitor supports DDC [1] you can control the brightness with MonitorControl [2]. It's fantastic. However it's basically impossible to figure out before buying if monitors do or don't support DDC. In general Dell Ultrasharps do, and I was surprised when the old Acer I'm on now did as well.

The issue that I think a lot of people are missing is that CHAZ paints a picture of " protests are battles, now land can be won" The American people have proven they are willing to turn a blind eye to nasty(evil) shit being done in their name during war. If CHAZ spreads it makes it easier for the right to paint them as terrorist or a armed rebellion. Its nearly asking for a false flag.

I don't see in the study linked in the article where it attributes light mode to more eye strain.

I found where blue light causes eye strain, and it most certainly does, I immediately notice the difference when using a blue light filter on my monitor, but you can have both dark mode and a blue light filter enabled.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6020759/

Anecdotally, dark mode causes my eyes and my partner's eyes less strain.

You can notice by how dry and red they get, as well as the headaches, it's not rocket science.

EDIT (reached my post limit)

@shawnz: No, the light physically hurts. It's immediate. It's not because of the aesthetics.
220 reapplied; 155 were hired. Effectively, they fired 65 officers, or 25% of the force, with the stroke of a pen, which is a hell of a bit of housecleaning.

Camden made all members apply for jobs as if coming from another police department, but they had the files of the old department and could look directly at an applicant's job history and see how many complaints of excessive force were present, etc. They purged the worst 25% in starting over and that seemed to make a very large difference.
Wow, I never thought about that, didn't realise that was a thing. I can only so very vaguely imagine what things would smell like that I wonder if I really am at all.

Though the parts of the "supply chain" are really different verticals they can use the revenue from to compete in their other verticals. The consequences are likely different but I haven't seen how it's bad yet at least against other large companies.
> > Python's multiprocessing library is needed to overcome the GIL

> No it's not, just use threads.

I just wanted to expand on this a little to describe some of the downsides to threads in Python.

Multi-threaded logic can be (and often is) slower than single-threaded logic because threading introduces overhead of lock contention and context switching. David Beazley did a talk illustrating this in 2010:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obt-vMVdM8s

He also did a great talk about coroutines in 2015 where he explores threading and coroutines a bit more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCs5OvhV9S4&t=525s

In workloads that are often "blocked" like network calls our I/O bound work loads, threads can provide similar benefits to coroutines but with overhead. Coroutines seek to provide the same benefit without as much overhead (no lock contention, fewer context switches by the kernel).

It's probably not the right guidelines for everyone but I generally use these when thinking about concurrency (and pseudo-concurrency) in Python:

- Coroutines where I can.

- Multi-processing where I need real concurrency.

- Never threads.

Somewhat similar. I used to moderate a web forum and last summer I met someone from Scunthorpe. He said "yeah, its a small town, you've probably never heard of it." But I HAD heard of it because when I used to moderate that forum, we had someone from Scunthorpe sign up and the site blocked them for profanity. It was because their name contained the word "cunt". I've always found this funny and will remember Scunthorpe forever.

It's missing the horizontal struts between the pedals and the back axle. Those make strong triangle shapes, and without them the back fork is going to be quite flimsy and unstable. The person's weight on the seat would put a lot of torque on the welds connecting the back fork struts to the frame below the seat.
