All objects subject to GC have a memory impact, very few of them have an fd impact. You either have to separately track those that impact fds, or do a lot (up to 100%) unnecessary work in response to fd pressure. Even if user code can disable the fd pressure response, you've got to carry the baggage of a GC with extra code to handle it around. It's very easy to see “teaching a GC about fd pressure” as not worth the time and effort for the main runtime GC for a general purpose language. If you had a facility for swapping in special purpose GCs for particular applications, building a specialty GC that added fd awareness might be a net win for some apps, but...

It is probably because the vast majority of my time is spent in python already, but its very appealing. I am typing this on a keyboard running QMK, and just don't enjoy dealing with the software side. I don't make changes often enough to remember all the steps I have to do to make things work. So I have to re-learn every time. I certainly should take better notes, but I would much prefer this keyboard ran python and I could just change the mapping on the fly without compiling and flashing and all that.

Ask HN: A Publicly Funded Social Network
Despite the writing style, this post isn't intended to advocate one way or another. I'm just trying to frame the thought experiment for discussion.

There has been alot of discussion recently about how to fix social networks. It seems to be a point of near consensus that engagement-driven metrics are a problem, and that they are the result of the commercial nature of these services. One of the central points of debate seems to be about how an organization could run a free social network in an ethically and financially sustainable way. In contrast I haven't seen much discussion of a government run option.

Planning, providing and maintaining public spaces is already one of the key functions of government. It also seems that the cost of running a social network may not actually be that large if there isn't any tracking/targeting infrastructure to maintain. There is no fundamental reason users should have to upload their photos/video to the social network itself either, we've just become accustomed to it.

In the US, the first amendment would apply in full force, as this would not be a privately run service. Constitutionally protected speech would remain protected. A company administering a social network must inevitably make judgment calls about moderation, which inevitably creates controversy. Removing this possibility and having moderation constrained by law provides some measure of transparency and accountability, and provides a clear path forward for citizens to determine how the service is operated.

Privacy would have to be guaranteed. Protections given to physical postal mail might be a reasonable starting point. A postal worker isn't allowed to read your mail even when asked nicely by an FBI agent without a warrant. There would be legislative attacks on this kind of privacy, but then people's attention would be focused on their elected representatives, which seems like a better situation than appealing to facebook to do the right thing.
A split space-bar version could make it a lot more versatile, without a lot of drawbacks, imho.
You could use the 2 halves as layer keys when held or one as space, the other as backspace, or if one half is pressed, then the other half could mean backspace or enter.

There is also the SpaceFn layout, which works with just one space, I know:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51069.0

but it feels like it could be a lot better with split spaces.
So, you're bitching about my perception of "clearly bad". And you are correct! I say "clearly bad" and also know that it is my perception. I think I am right, and people who think "all atheists/jews/muslims are bad" are wrong. I hope that my view is the zeitgeist, and theirs is not.

You take my position and move it forward ten slots toward authoritarianism, without any evidence or defense of your position.

You say that "as soon as the public has a collective moral standard to which they hold the community, you get lynchings". What the fuck? So, we should not have any collective moral standard? We should not have some shared sense of what is right and wrong?

My line, the line that keeps your nightmare from occurring, is very clear: We can have our shared sense of right and wrong, and yes, even shun or be angry at those who don't fit that standard - but those people are defended by the law, and the law grants equal protection to all. Vigilante justice against people is not permitted under the law, and violators will be prosecuted.

Before you tear up my analysis, please give an "affirmative" - that is, give a vision of society and government that fits your worldview without putting it in terms of what I have written.
Acquisition cost is very high. I spend most of my time selling myself than any other activity. I've been doing consulting since 2015. My network has grown to 5k, yet I still have to come up with new ways of expressing the same things.
Yes it does seem slow, and being an assembly line I wonder if it's just poor communication in the news article.

I'd think that 30 seconds would be how long 1 PlayStation takes to be assembled, but that there would be a new one every few seconds coming out of the line.
Check the last paragraph of the link you've submitted. You can see the word feet used there many times, suggesting that "feet" is used to measure a lot of things and is the most commonly used while describing a property from a real estate perspective.
I certainly avoid games that put these trends front and center (even if free). Some games that I've purchased over the years, Destiny 2 for example, have changed their model completely and I find it saddening. The core game is now free (which I paid full price for) and all expansions (DLC) are paid. They also include paid seasonal content (4 times per year, 10 weeks in length, $10 each) where they introduce some (typically poorly received) content to grind out and some new items in their in-game real money market (Eververse). Typical items in the "Eververse" are $10+.

I hope these trends fade away over time although I am not expecting that to be the case with the profits some of these publishers are reporting.

Any basic psychology course or textbook will provide the context to understand this. You could look at it as operant conditioning, and there are probably much more nuanced and data driven explanations that I'm ignorant of.

Both h264 and h265 have these implementations, I think FFMPEG library has both under the terms of GPLv2.

The decoders are almost completely useless. The video codec, at least the decoder, needs to be in the hardware, not in software.

Mobile devices just don’t have the resources to run the decoders on CPU. The code works on PC but consumes too much electricity and thermal budget. Even GPGPUs are not good enough for the job, couple generations ago AMD tried to use shader cores for video codecs, didn’t work well enough and they switched to dedicated silicon like the rest of them.
Those are extremely different things. There is no monopoly in academics or personal career. Sports is a terrible example imho, because most of the compensation isn't in the salary, it's in the ad contracts.

> Both sports and economics put these in place to provide a bulwark against such "natural laws" in favor of human defined ethics like fairness.

That's not at all why we have anti-trust laws. They are harmful to the economy, that's why. If they weren't, that is, if monopolists usually were more efficient in lowering prices/increasing quality/innovating than companies that had competitors, we'd have no issue with monopolies at all.
Couldn't agree more. I've also made this point ad-nauseam. How is this not more the typical story. The tech industry we all work in is just so good at selling snake oil in terms of technology that isn't relevant at inflated prices, we seem to have branched out into entire companies that don't make sense.
Attempting to invoke nature as a basis for a definition of ethical is not ethical.

Yes, nature gave one person cancer and not another person, or nature makes a young person on average healthier than an old person.

But what we do with the hand nature has dealt us is on us not nature. Saying "Hey it's nature that made that guy require so much resources, there's nothing we can do about that, they simply cost more and so they should have to pay more, or die more." Is both unethical and a lie, because, there IS something we can do about it.

We are not unthinking animals with no capacity to bend nature to our will, or at least compensate for nature we can't bend.

And the people who cost more among us are not objects with no other factors in their equations than what they cost vs what they produce.

When you say "Nature is the one introducing the unfairness." You actually make the very point you think you are arguing against.

You say "It's Nature's fault", which is true, but then you, with very swiss cheese ethics, select only 2 out of the 3 implications from that to care about. You only talk about how that means it's not your fault or any insurance companies fault, and you don't account for the equally true fact that it's also not the cancer victims fault.

If something is "introduced by Nature" your own words remember, then you yourself are acknowledging that it's no one's fault, and therefor no one's responsibility.

Your inventively kinked ethics interprets that to mean only that therefor it's not your responsibility to do anything about it, completely neglecting the perfectly valid opposite option that if it's no single persons responsibility, then it's everyone's responsibility equally.

It doesn't matter what arguments you manage to muster in defense of the selfish and frankly sociopathic response to the given facts of life and "nature", it's all the damning it needs to be merely that you try, other than in a devil's advocate role.
How to Handle Stale Element Exception in Selenium(With Code)
Yep, I was in a similar position and feel exactly the opposite.

I was short a ton of these retail positions. I remember a guy who used to be CFO of a clothing retailer telling me earnestly that I was an utter idiot, and didn't understand another clothing retailer (we were short, he was long in massive size).

And he was right...I didn't understand the business, I didn't understand as much as him about selling clothes. But I understood the things that mattered: they had bad locations, footfall was tracking down 3% YoY, and wasn't going to recover (they declared bankruptcy three years later, the CFO owned it all the way down and lost his shirt...he was an "expert" after all).

Hindsight tells us what information is important. But people rarely try to work this out ahead of time. They gather whatever information is most available (usually from the company), but not what is most important.

In addition, I think people who end up in investing rarely think through why other people make decisions. They come up with lots of clever reasons to own dogshit stocks but never consider that no-one is going to use that same reasoning (with retailers, the issue was rarely that people were expecting a recovery...they were buying the company of today expecting things to not get worse...but no-one buys into that situation without doing a lot of research to confuse themselves).

So...imo, it was obvious although not easy or common. Most of the time, you can't get the important information. And most of the time, you can't get someone to take the other side. But it does happen. And most professionals vastly over-complicate investing.

(Also, the OP is not bad...but it is just confused. Credit card data hasn't moved us to some new level of efficiency, his source for this isn't apples to apples as hedge funds today are nothing like hedge funds two decades ago. Markets aren't more efficient, they are just composed of actors who behave differently. In particular, the rise of factor models has opened huge inefficiencies because they are trying to trade fundamentally with no knowledge of fundamentals...this is something that is obviously bad and flawed).
I wonder how all these maker sellers get along with Bluetooth SiG certification.

Edit: I mean, the product is presented very well. There was a clear investment in time and money. And because of that, this question was the first thing that came to my mind.
The real debate stems from information control. The Catholic church forbade the translation of the Bible from Latin into the local language (contrary to popular opinion, the majority of people could read even though spelling was not standardized). What happens when those people finally get a copy of the Bible based on the textus receptus and it has Jesus saying the Scripture is immutable and more important than tradition? What happens when they see clear and obvious contradictions between what He said and what their church was doing?

When Luther nailed the famous arguments on the church door (in common German so everyone could read them), he wasn't wanting to start up a new church. He was just pointing out the ridiculousness of buying forgiveness and the insane corruption and tradition over Scripture that had caused it.
Instead of fixing the problems, the Catholic church doubled down and claimed the right to supersede even Jesus Himself. When they couldn't justify with words, they went straight to force.

Also keep in mind that the Catholic church was a political machine first and foremost. The Jesuit order in particular was so political that countries actually pushed the Pope so hard he issued Dominus ac Redemptor to completely suppress the entire order. It was rescinded 41 years later, but due to the internal political power of the Jesuit General, the cardinals refused to elect a Jesuit pope. Politically, the election of the first Jesuit pope in 2013 (199 years after the suppression was rescinded) hallmarked a very large political victory and unification of the Catholic church.

With that in mind, the Protestant Reformation, while primarily religious, was also political in nature.
Did you try it using a UASP USB3 HDD though?
I'm going to echo the other commenter who said you're a "thought leader," because this is a whole lot of words not saying much of anything. Scantily clad female PMs are wretched? Fat developers are belligerent?

I'm trying to comment more substantively but you're not giving me anything to work with.
Dear lovely @ars, thankyou for your comment. I agree it is strange. Context:

You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

--

So I think Jesus is agreeing with your comments. Interestingly verse quotations are prefaced with something like "It is written". Yet here 'hate your enemy' is not a biblical verse, and it is prefaced with "You have heard that it was said" -- Jesus was speaking to a crowd here, and contrasting what they had heard, with what his message

One of the implications is he is saying proportionality of justice is a start, but is not nearly enough. For instance, he ends:

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect

> But they only spoke this way to other Rabbis

He extremely strongly disagreed with the Rabbis. See Matthew 5 for context
They care about you about as much as you care for them. This is just their way of saying thanks for global warming and all the government debt.
It is easy. The + symbol doesn't mean plus (except when it does), and that is how it is all the way through.
That's pretty much the only reason I use Brave. But also fuck Apple for forcing everyone to use WebKit.

Love this summary.
What you're talking about is the latency - start to end for construction for each is 30 seconds.

But what the article is talking about is the throughput - one finished very 30 seconds - doesn't mention how long each takes to make start to finish.

A throughput of one every 30 seconds is only a million per year. They have sold 100 million PS4s.

I have family that do outdoor karting, and they are learning just how expensive it gets. They are certainly not the 1%, and are actually considering switching their kid to spec miata as running a actual car is cheaper than karting. The kids they race against are sons (almost entirely sons) of ex f1 drivers, leading political figures of nations, and ultra wealthy. And this is all US based karting which has no segway into f1. It's truly a 1% sport, you either need to be ultra wealthy or very quickly get supported by someone with that level of wealth.
I just asked Google Maps for directions from "Birmingham" to "Leeds" to see what would come up, and got the message: 'Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "Birmingham, Alabama" to "Leeds, United Kingdom"'. Sure, but there's a Leeds in Alabama (a suburb of Birmingham) and a Birmingham in the UK.

(I'm in Atlanta; it's probably a safe guess that if I were making this query legitimately I'm asking for the Alabama one.)

Similarly for Birmingham to Oxford; there are reasonably prominent towns called Oxford in Alabama, Missisippi, and maybe Georgia, but it still insists on attempting to find a transatlantic driving route and failing.

The article is actually addressing the issue where dopamine in natural amounts is considered addictive and harmful, so it doesn’t need to address that.

"Unlimited vacation" is a deception. Real perks are to have 15 or 20 days of vacations, increasing with seniority at the company, and forced vacations (i.e., the company forces you to take the vacations every year). It is also good for the company health (ensure that no 1 person missing has a large impact).

to suggest that dopamine is heavily involved in motivation and habit formation, which are easily linked to addiction.

This is a great, succinct summary of (some of) dopamines role (from our limited understanding) in the brain.

It’s complex, but based on the tools we have to manipulate and measure dopamine, it’s a part of addiction but it doesn’t explain everything.

And dopamine plays an important role in other functions like movement (I.e. Parkinson’s disease).
I'd also add that the very popular New King James Version (NKJV) is both copyrighted and uses different source material from the KJV which means that differences in wording are not just old to new English, but also differences in meaning.

It's possible your first sentence was not sarcastic or insulting, but it kind of came off that way. Then your edit made it clear you were throwing shade at the person for having their rant in their head.

Dude, several people gave you feedback on why you got downvoted.
