Javascript came a long way and despite its legacy quirks is actually quite enjoyable with ES6. We also added tons of good tooling (like TypeScript, React or Vue) to improve the web development experience.

While I still think, it would be nice to use a language that doesn't need 3 equal signs for sane comparisons, I wonder if Python with its strong whitespace to code-block correlation is actually a good choice for transmission and remote execution?

It definitely increases the size of transmitted code (tho probably by not so much because I think files are usually transmitted gzip compressed to modern browsers).

Are there other issues anyone can think of? It somehow gives me an uneasy feeling even tho technically a semicolon or repeated 0x20 don't make a difference except size.

Helps only until a certain point and then becomes counterproductive if they don't really like the work but can't quit due to these golden handcuffs you put them in. It could even make them disgruntled, the opposite of what you wanted. Or another possibility at an extreme end, they might even consider early retirement - happened at waymo apparently.
I look forward to trying this. Improving locomotion in VR would be great.

But I feel we may be overthinking it. I believe simply tracking leg movement and having the player jog on the spot is the solution.

Having simulated this myself by holding forward on the controller while jogging on the spot, I believe it's the way forward. If you have a headset, give it a try. I admit walking doesn't feel very natural, but jogging works well.

Of course, games don't have this option with most popular current hardware (but foot trackers and whole body trackers do exist).

It would be tricky to blend/differentiate movement and jogging, but I think it's doable.

I predict that future headsets will do inside-out tracking of your entire body, including the legs (they made need a flip out camera to be far enough out from the body to do this). They've already put out a software update for the Quest that does surprisingly good controller-free hand tracking.

There was also a comment on HN a few weeks ago (I'll try to find it) where someone implemented this system and said it worked well.
Reminds me of the 2+2 poker hand evaluator - they basically built an insanely fast giant lookup table that fit in ~100megs of ram IIRC.

The main idea was to do monte-carlo simulations and give you your odds of winning at any point in the game by dealing random cards for the unknowns.

Interesting read on that and other evaluators as well:

I disagree somewhat with #1.

Long Amazon, short JCPenney is an example of an obvious trade the past 5 years. Or even the past 2 years. Same with long Apple in 2012 when iPhones were ubiquitous. And you would have obliterated the index with those trades.

Sometimes you don’t need an edge. sometimes the most obvious idea is the most profitable.

And my theory why is because if it’s obvious, it’s because everyone else is in love with the idea as well and putting money into it. And in the financial world, people don’t just put money into it once. They add on to it month after month after month.

So you don’t necessarily need to be early to profit well. Let the big trend appear, then invest big into it once it becomes clear as day. Because huge trends last longer than you think.
I'm specifically not asking about these people. Take facebook - they don't sell react. Why do they have developer advocates for that? In other words, if you sell cars, why have people who talk to other people about how ICEs are built?
This is not quite accurate. Large institutions with very slow processes and onerous governance will be very much tied to RHEL 6 for some years. It indeed is a very important part of Redhat's business model. Enterprises will purchase extended support for RHEL 6 going up to 2024
The text starts with "there are a thousand beautiful ways to start the day that don’t begin with looking at a phone. And yet so few of us choose to do so.".

Is it really so? I'm only a single datapoint, but checking my phone is the last thing I do in the morning. Getting children up, coffee, shower, planning some today's work in my head - if the phone isn't ringing then I may well not fiddle with it until later in the morning or even the day.
Interesting. Do you have images and pictures of yourself publicly available online? It didn’t pull up anything for me. But now I’m worried the pics I uploaded of myself will be used and fed in to this apps data library.
I find that Sagrada is a better game when you've got players of mixed ages and skill levels playing -- it tends to be much more of a level field because the strategy doesn't matter quite so much between rounds unlike Azul. The scoring system in Sagrada is also a little more straightforward in that its pretty obvious how to maximize your points. The game is also generally less adversarial than Azul, which is good if you're trying to do a couple rounds after a family dinner or something. It ends up being a little more of a game you can share a drink or a dessert over -- whereas Azul quickly turns competitive.

Basically, Sagrada's the game I bring to family gatherings, Azul's the game I bring to board game nights for a warmup/cooloff game.
That's incorrect. German health insurance is not tied to your employer. Losing your job has no impact on your coverage, and your employer has no say on how you are insured.

If you are curious about how German health insurance works, I wrote a long, detailed, thoroughly verified guide about it for expats. It's a good intro to the system.

This is a valid argument but it does not answer my question which was about why do companies have developer advocates for products other that what they directly sell.

Brython feels like a Python interpreter (it's actually transpiling to javascript with a thin compatibility layer, cf. https://github.com/brython-dev/brython/wiki/How%20Brython%20...), you can use Python live in the browser, while Transcrypt transpile Python (or nearly Python, depending on what features you activate) to Javascript ahead of time (this can be achieved with Brython CLI too).

Brython has a better compatibility, but Transcrypt being pure javascript on the browser should be faster (I didn't made the comparison myself though). Both projects are complementary.

PyJS is a hostile fork (or I should say "hijack", but that's a long story) of Pyjamas, a Python 2 to Javascript compiler. I'm not sure where they are now, but at the time Pyjamas was Python 2 only and there was no plan to move it to Python 3 as this would mean a full rewrite of the transpiler.

It's pretty similar to Transcrypt except that it comes with a library which is a rewrite of GWT for Python. With that you end up writing web application in a similar way as you would do for desktop application. I've been using Pyjamas for years, it was working quite well (but you had to get used to some bugs/incompatibilities with Python, and I have not experienced that with Brython so far). About the library, while it seemed like a neat idea at the beginning, at the end it was an experience too distant from web developing, and meanwhile HTML and CSS improved a lot so it doesn't really makes sense anymore.

So from my experience :

- you want real Python 3 and being able to use it dynamically (in a live console for instance) ==> Brython

- you want something as fast as javascript with clean syntax of Python ==> Transcrypt

Both work well with JS libraries, Brython in addition re-implement most of Python standard API (but it's long to import, so it's often better to use JS libraries or native methods).

In addition, and really subjectively, I find the Brython community really nice, the main developer is reactive and kind.

Brython gives you real Python traceback, and you can even run pdb inside the browser (which will block your scripts) or an Inspector (a non blocking Python console) allowing to transfer objects between Python and Javascript for inspection in dev tools.

edit: corrected the initial statement, Brython feels like an interpreter, but it's actually transpiling, so you don't have such a big performance impact.

edit2: added that Brython can be compiled AOT from CLI too + precisions that I didn't compared with Transcrypt myself
I...am a bit confused as to whether you're actually reading the same conversation.

The project creator explicitly said that their creation cannot be styled, at all. It renders the exact same "standard" way on all devices. The retort was that the vast majority of people (with a clear callout to companies that would obviously like their own branding) do not want a web where every site looks the exact same, which is why CSS exists in the first place. You seem to have read/decided to turn this into a discussion about end-user customisation of sites (and, frankly, a thinly veiled rant about Facebook and Medium), when that first of all has nothing directly to do with what was being discussed and second of all would also be out of scope for this project because it had styling itself out of scope.

> The meaning for the "eye for an eye" verse is well known, it's talking about proportionality in justice.

> It's a pretty strange choice to use when talking about "turn the other cheek".

The phrase "an eye for an eye" puts an upper bound on retributive justice. That is, if you have been fouled, this is the maximum amount of punishment that you are allowed to inflict upon the perpetrator. Don't do as Lamech and kill the one who wounds you because that is not proportional.

Consider the context of Jesus speech. He was speaking to peasants in the Galilee for whom eternal feuds must have been commonplace. They must have been aware of the harmful effects of seeking revenge to everyone involved but unable to put an end to it. That is why one of his examples is a slap. There is and was no legal recourse for slap except for slapping back. Jesus asks his followers to "let it go."
It was in response to a national wage freeze. Due to WW2 too few workers existed for the jobs available as such any one worker had incredible bargaining power. Wages were frozen by law[0] and firms found other benefits to offer in order to attempt to compete with each over for workers.

I think the implication is that using the context of the page to serve ads to users (i.e. you're reading an article on beer, so I'm serving you an ad about beers) is better than using context about the user to serve ads (i.e. you're reading an article about beers, and I'm serving you ads about that one item you've searched on Amazon last week).

Everybody has their off moments, but I’d say the top drivers strategize pretty heavily (even if your only counting pit strategy as strategy). Even then I’d say driver called pit strategies have about as much chance of working out as team strategies (which are mostly guess work). The only strategy the driver can’t really contribute to is the mechanical preservation strategy, because they can’t see nearly as well what the condition of their engine is. But even then, that strategy is the same all the time - make the engine and gearbox last the required number of races.
> I see the concept of punishing people for how their body behaves deeply unethical.

Your ethics is a bit roundabout. Nature is the one introducing unfairness and "punishment" to the world. In a sense you are blaming companies for treating them equally rather than taking it upon themselves to correct the unfairness of nature.

Really what we have here is a situation where insurance is an appropriate solution for some people, while others need charity. You are presuming that there is no charity for some reason, and that those people who need it are the insurance systems responsibility too.

And 20 years ago healthy young people could get insurance very cheap (Less than what people spend on phones today). It wasn't a scam. Sooner or later you might get food poisoning or fall off your bike and break your leg or something. And there's always a small chance something really horrible would happen.
How does this compare to the wasm based approaches? (eg Pyodide)
It can't be all just increases in salary, but don't ever stop increasing salary. You should have a cost of living adjustment, in line with the BLS regional CPI-U index for the last year, as a minimum, and maybe an extra 1% just on principle.

This bare minimum will keep you from coming across as super-cheap and out of touch / unconcerned with their compensation. Remember most employees can get a bigger raise by switching jobs; your salary increases shouldn't make a point of making that obvious.

You don't know many nerds, do you?

EDIT: When I was in high school, msdos and windows viruses were all the rage: self-modifying polymorphic code that injected itself into the RAM of other processes, having no identical strings longer than a few bytes between each instance of the virus, etc. Way useless than jit stuff, but a comparable level of "depth", and 100% assembly code.
Are you working on a solution in that field? I've been thinking about the same problem lately, especially how information can resurface contextually while typing or searching for knowledge.

I'm curious how is your solution different from the Zettelkasten-inspired note taking tools?

I've come to hesistently accept nested ternaries, but I try to have all lines lead with a colon. This kinda mimics a switch statement with returns.

firstPossible ? thenThis
: secondPossible ? thenThisOtherThing
: thirdPossible ? thenThisThirdThing
: defaultThing

Always fun to see how people treat ternary nesting. They still feel a bit naughty to me. The terseness is sort of unbeatable though.

White I agree with you about modern JS, using Python in the browser has a few advantages:

- it can be the same language as the backend, that's a huge advantage (no need to change context, you can more easily have the team for backend and frontend)

- if you use Python elsewhere (like it's my case for multi-frontends XMPP client), you can factorize the code

- it's a really popular language, notably among scientists

- I have no numbers, but I suspect that once the initial download is done and cached, Python code should be smaller than JS equivalent

- there is a huge ecosystem (of course JS is even bigger, but the neat thing is that you can use both)

And probably other things I'm not thinking of right now.

It would be wrong to attribute a single complaint to a life of virtue signaling, yes.

This appears to be referring to a pattern of life, though: a mindset that perpetually explains and proactively seeks and finds virtue to be found in victimhood /alone/.

> drivers and they strongly dislike driver aids

The racers like whatever makes them go faster. When ABS and traction control was allowed everyone was using it. It just made you faster. But the current rules ban them with the goal of trying to make the driver matter more.

One of the sports all time great (Micheal Schumacher) won all of his championships with traction control most likely. The teams used their own computers in the cars then so it was basically impossible to police and thus the ban was lifted in 2002. The ban was put back in place when the onboard computer in the cars was homologated (everyone uses the same computer by McLaren)
I came in here ready to be angry, and am leaving with a smile. Thank you.
Way back in another life I did some calculations similar to that.

I don't remember details anymore, but there were some observations that some (deep space) astronomical object somewhere was accelerating and there were no models at the time that would explain that. I tried to explain it by a magnetic dipole in an non-homogeneous interstellar magnetic field.

If you know the gradients and the dipole moment you can calculate the force on the dipole.

I think it required a magnetar-level dipole to get some non-trivial forces out of the interstellar field. Anyway, I don't know if that theory ever got anywhere. Probably not. I never got any calls back from the people I presented that work to.

A spaceship would have a much lower mass than a star or whatever I was calculating that for, so I guess the requirements would be lower. Still, my gut feeling would be a magnet much beyond what you can do with today's superconductors. It would also only allow a one-way travel along the local field gradient. No round trips.
That's not a good example to bring up, especially if you take into account the recent layoffs and their current operations.

In Estonia they still seem to be doing a sort of a limited trial where they only deliver to a small area of one part of the town. The robots are too slow and get ignored by traffic all the time since their programming is very conservative. They try to avoid accidents but at the cost of delivery times.

So now we can write web apps in one of most inappropriate languages for frontend development.

White space significant, good luck minifying it.

No anonymous functions, yes you need to have name for that callback, even though it's simply disabling a button.

Webpack does a great job of handling assets by simply importing/require them in the code. Python import system, can't support that kind of importing.

And of course there is the performance. Python is generally slower than JS, and then on top of that you are running Python interpreter in the JS VM.

For the export feature, It's something I've been thinking about for a while.

Given that I use Terraform under the hood, I've been thinking about a feature to merge the base architecture plan with your custom plan.

So you could have a catalog of "base" architectures and another catalog of "custom" architectures that you could spin up in seconds.

Nice with effort being put into fesktop GUIs. It is really an area that degraded alot I feel ... with many framewotks being just too complex and interdependent on stuff so you can't keep the build quite clean.
> - it can be the same language as the backend

This is already the case for Javascript :) Also you get much bigger collection of ready to use opensource libraries, and better performance.
