AFAIK (Brython devs can correct if necessary) it's transpiled live and stored in indexedDB, so after first run it's already transpiler.

You can also transpile using CLI to have directly JS.

With the knowledge of the current pandemic situation, perhaps the concept of 'party' and/or 'invite' is a wholly alien concept to the people of the future with access to time-machines. And assuming a similar reaction to current archeology for things they can't explain better than 'artifact was used during religious or reproductive practises' and didn't consider attending.
Well, for many resources I would agree with you, but for files specifically, closing a file usually does a lot of things, which the article completely forgets about.

In particular, write buffers are almost never flushed unless you do it explicitly or on file handle close.
This. When I get the impression that my expertise and suggestions don't matter that's the point when I mentally quit my job. That's always the first step, the original reason. After that it's only the benefits, good pay and all the other suggestions named here that "keep" me, but if those weren't there I will go. So not listening to your employees comes with a heavy price tag if you want to also keep them.

Everyone needs to see this zoomed in video of the event:

My interpretation is that he started being more aggressive / pushy once the gun was pointed in his direction (on the left at the start of the video). So even though the shots were "after", the gun being pointed was the first escalation. I too thought this incident was a borderline people being pushy with eachother type of deal where it unfortunately escalates, but this was clearly someone with a mask on walking up to the car with a gun pointed at it with the intent of intimidation/murder. Seeing that, I fully understand the motorist speeding away, and I probably would have done so even less-patiently.
The difference being that you can actually post / see both sides of the debate on one platform. And that isn't the one with censorship policies. You seem to be in agreement that the lack of moderation actually gets us closer to the form of debate that we are after.

> If you tell me "I'm in pain", are you actually in pain?

> If a computer prints on the screen "I'm in pain", is it actually in pain?

Maybe. If you SMS me that you are in pain, are you in pain? "I'm in pain" is evidence of someone being in pain. But being in pain, the referent, is just being in pain. There's no additional indirection.

> If you are sedated with a memory blocker, and are then hurt, but you don't remember it afterward, were you actually in pain?

Yes.

> You want an explanation of the wrong "ground reality", you are discussing the wrong question, it's not "is pain" real.

No, this is an issue that was actually brought up.

> > maybe [...] you [...] [don't] actually feel pain

All reason is grounded in experience. If I know anything, it's the things that I experience directly. Pain is probably the most direct experience there is.

edit:

> It's all about the subjective experience of pain, and can a robot share in that? Can a person in a coma share in that? Can an animal?

Yes. No. Yes.

These are not difficult questions to answer... You're phrasing it like there's some kind of philosophical difficulty here, but I don't think there is. If you define pain as an aversive sensory experience, ie. a sensory experience that makes you wish it would stop (this definition covers disgust and discomfort as well, and I think that's valid), then it seems clear that anything that can form goals (and yes, a memory blocked sedated person can form goals, they just can't act on them) can experience pain. I think the objection to computers is just that we rely too much on our empathy to determine when something "is in pain". I think an NPC in a game that moves away from a fire is experiencing pain, even though its mind is extremely simple, just like an amoeba would when it avoids a harmful chemical. It doesn't have such a thing as a qualia of pain, maybe (I'm not convinced!) - but that's hardly necessary.

I feel we must overcome our distrust of functional descriptions. Pain is a functional pattern, and not a very complex one.

Question: What operations are being done on the client side that requires that much speed? Why is speed even a concern in this case? With modern hardware and the type of applications I am familiar with (rendering tens of thousands of financial data points), I could 50x lower the speed of execution and the client wouldnt even feel it. So I´m geniunly curious what people are working on that requires that much speed/performance?

I came across this article [0] a few days ago that compares six different ways to run Python code in the browser.

It describes Brython as a Python-to-JavaScript compiler (as opposed to a Python interpreter written in JavaScript) that runs on page load.

As an Australian, your second point is hard to vindicate. The total death toll in Australia is 106 as of one hour ago as reported by the state-funded ABC[0].

While it's true that just one of those was a person under the age of fifty[1], and unfortunately I live in the _one_ state that's experiencing a second wave via community transmission and sadly expect these numbers to grow, this isn't comparable with the numbers seen coming out of Sweden.

In fact, it's an order of magnitude lower, for a country with more than double Sweden's population, so to suggest that at-risk groups are experiencing a similar level of risk is baffling to me.

Although this is (I guess) a bit too generic, I don't get why it's being downvoted, as the points all make sense.

Point 4 for example ("Support their other goals (startups, health, lifestyle)"), is basically the same as what the current top comment states as "1. Give them flexibility eg- work timings, wfh."

Point 1 is again another one of the top comment's point.
I think you are pointing to something very important. The car and team get you 90% of the way. But the last 10% is almost 100% up to the driver.
I don't know a lot of this sounds like reverse ageism. Facebook was built entirely on young, talented engineers who could perhaps scale out software better than "experienced" developers. Same goes for a lot of Google products. The barrier of entry for software development is much lower and you can pretty much hit the ground running with a few good math and algorithms courses and good internships. You can become a good software architect with a few years of experience -- even the best are barely 50 years of age (Jeff Dean, for example).

I am not sure why this trend didn't translate towards hardware but if I were to guess - the jobs are fewer, the barriers of entry are higher (no one really teaches hardware design in school) and the cost of mistakes is bigger.

Not if they don't believe that the markets are efficient. It doesn't matter if you are, in some sense, "right" if the market disagrees.

The time in itself is not bad. It could have been 10 hours of important reading for your study or whatever. So do not get hung up on numbers, that will only lead to negative double-bashing of yourself. I observed myself trying to avoid using the phone for obvious things like navigation and weather forecasts because I wanted by all means to reduce the screen time. That is as irrational as anything.

Focus on what you want to do instead and use the time on that. Start reading books, go for walks, dance, play an instrument whatever it is. Focus on that instead of narrow focus on screen time.
From Wikipedia [1]:

> In psychology, the dark triad refers to the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

I associate social psychology with a progressive world view. The next paragraph gives the context I was missing:

> Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management.

I think it really depends on the situation. If all 3 above are applied, 'pay' might still be a requirement (maybe someone is starting a family, maybe they got a way better offer) but having them in a position that they like will at least guarantee that they will probably talk to you first.

If I, as a dev, really enjoy my job and know that I might not get a better situation by switching, I will at least ask my employer for a raise before walking.

All in all, money is the easiest thing to fix of those in my opinion and it's easy to talk about it.

It’s also the balance that the FIA has never managed to maintain to anybody’s satisfaction.

A lot of the issues with F1 stem from the fact that it’s actually two seperate competitions. If you let constructors build the fastest car that they safely can, then two bad things happen. Firstly, the fastest car will win. Secondly, the teams with less money can’t compete. The F1 brand is about having the most technologically advanced cars, but really it has to constantly hold the best teams back in order to keep things competitive. That’s why the regulations are so hopelessly complex (this years new regulations have to cover up the holes in last years poor regulating...), and it’s why anything that is truly innovative is nearly always instantly banned.

F1 is constantly swinging between a state of dominant constructors (Mercedes the past 6 years), and being more like a spec series (the new 2021 regs). If F1 wanted to actually live up to its brand, it would let the constructors build mostly whatever they wanted to. But if it did that, it would also have to divvy up the prize money more fairly to keep the lesser teams from going under, which it’s never going to do because of how political it all is.
Let’s be honest, your argument is no less straw man than mine.

Why not watch high-resolution images of corpses? People working in medicine do this all the time.

You’re clearly making a Luddite argument: under the circumstances of two things being the same but one of them providing a worse resolution anyone reasonable would pick the higher resolution, because you can always go back to a lower resolution but not vice-versa.

No studies or articles to reference, just what I've heard from talking to people is that workers want to feel like they have impact. You have to get all the other things like pay and conditions correct too, but that should be a given. Once those are in place, giving people the sense that they're having meaningful impact will keep them around.
I’m very sorry, but I don’t understand where you’re coming from.

The original proposal seems to be this: You publish a document. The platform takes care of presenting it.

One criticism was: No, people want to control the styling of what they publish.

My counter argument is: There are many successful platforms that don’t allow people to style the content they publish, and people seem to be fine with that.

Again, assuming you’re talking about readers when you say “end-user”, I never even mentioned them.
His themes were often iconic for their distinctive instrumentation and perhaps The Mission was the clearest example. It's a crime that he lost the Oscar to Herbie Hancock.

Surely it sends the bytecode to be run by the interpreter...
That line of thinking only works if social order is maintained and the police come to intervene in the illegal road block. As we've seen in the last few years, that almost never happens and the police actively let the protestors block roads illegally. At this point, it's probably being argued as a "free speech" issue rather than a safety/law one. I.e. that "protestors" have the "right" to "peacefully assemble" on a road.

This is exactly what BeeWare's Batavia does: compile to bytecode server-side, then run a remarkably small interpreter in the browser. This is a substantial win: parsing is a CPU hog, and Brython's architecture does it every time the page loads.

That said, in order to support `eval` and friends, you still need a full-fat compiler in the browser. So the best route is probably to use a full-service Python->JS compiler, but compile most of the code ahead of time. That's where we're heading with Anvil (we use https://skulpt.org for the client side, but it's the same principle).

My colleague wrote up a pretty wide-ranging comparison of browser-based Python interpreters. It describes how (and why) Brython, Batavia, Skulpt, Transcrypt, and Pyodide differ, and the tradeoffs they're chasing:

Also, this kind of people tends to be loyal to your product success more than you.

Also pair this kind of people with similar one. The goal is for them to counter and correct each other. It'll give them opportunity to grow.
The same happened to Nokia. People usually say that Microsoft killed it, but it was already pretty much behind everything when Microsoft took it.

Too much bureaucracy, everything outsourced, management out of touch with anything, meetings after meetings... Hell, I remember two/three weeks of meetings to replace apache proxy with nginx. Actual replacement and configuration update would take a couple of minutes.

I totally agree with you on that point.

Also, given that architectures are created on your own cloud provider account you could easily add the missing parts.

I've been looking for task tracking / planning software with some project management features, like the ability to decompose tasks into subtasks, estimate duration and priority and specify dependencies among tasks. However, the software I tested only allow duration to be recorded if the task is scheduled on a specific date, and they're usually complicated with a lot of features I don't need (yet). So I'm still using a bunch of spreadsheets for now...
This is just a python interpreter. pyc is useless here
I’d echo what the others have said re: pay and flexibility and add another point-

Autonomy and Impact- people need to feel like they own their work and that it matters to someone. Meaningful (subjectively defined) work is an important motivator in my experience. Creeping nihilism erodes morale and motivation.

I’ve found that nihilism is often caused by broken processes that fail to fix obvious deficiencies, especially in large corporations. This ranges from pointless hoop-jumping to get simple software packages to the lack of accountability/oversight for low-performers and everything in between.
I hear it has a bad reputation, but it isn't how I understand early access. I invested in a lot of early access stuff and some projects never saw release. That is the risk I took, because without this mechanism of giving people some financial advance, we wouldn't see as many games.

To me, people expecting too much from these investments seem to not have not understood the deal. It is small scale venture capital with no guarantees.

Creating art for such endeavors is not trivial and a lot of work. In case of computer games often more work than the coding. So it would have to be a pretty great idea if you can do with minimal effort in that department.

> I can't imagine interpreting Python in JS to be cheap.

It doesn’t look like Brython is an interpreter - it’s a Python-to-JavaScript translator.
I'll take a shot at translating those in a somewhat intelligible way while trying to preserve hilarity, with my commentary in parenthesis when appropriate.

"A famous udarnik (a shock worker, someone who was a lot more productive than others) Aleksei Stakhanov went number one 2 times a day and number two 1 time every two days. However, when in zapoy (drinking continuosly) he went number one 4 times a day and didn't go number two at all. How many times he went number one and number two in a year, considering that he was in zapoy 312 days a year?"

"When American Seventh fleet ships moored to Petushki station, there was no party member girls (Communist Party obviously, there was no other party) there, but if you consider Komsomol (kind of a youth division of the Party) girls belonging to the party, a third of them were blonde. When American Seventh fleet ships left, the following was discovered: every third Komsomol girl was raped, every forth raped girl was a Komsomol member, every fifth raped Komsomol girl was a blonde, every ninth raped blonde was a Komsomol member. Considering that there was a total of 428 girls in Petushki, how many non-party brunettes were left untouched?"

"As we know, there is no point A's in Petushki. All the more, there is no point C's. The only points present are B. So, Papanin (a last name), going to save Vodopyanov (another last name), started moving from point B1 to point B2. At the same moment Vodopyanov, going to save Papanin, started moving from point B2 to point B1. It is unknown why, but they both ended up at point B3, which is 12 Vodopyanov's spits away from point B1 and 16 Papanin's spits away from point B2. Considering that Papanin's spits land 3m 72cm away, and Vodopyanov can't spit at all, was Papanin actually going to save Vodopyanov?"

True on your first point, but I imagine GP was considering a case where you've already got a backend in Python.

Yes it is. The people selling advertising aren't stupid.
Curiously, I would say that if a frontend technology is fast then that's already improved the user-experience. If your user can click around quickly and if making a mistake isn't a huge setback in terms of time to navigate through loading screens etc.

It also gives developers a good starting point - no need to optimise if the language is just natively snappy.

But, as is usually the case, your mileage may vary depending on your use case!
