> The last time two times the US had aligned executive and legislative branches were the first two years of the Obama and Trump regimes.

And Obama managed to pass healthcare reform (ACA, "Obamacare", national Romneycare).

If Binden gets in, and the Democrats can control Congress (the Senate is if-y), then I would hope they do something about climate change (carbon pricing?) as it is an existential threat.

There's also the need about dealing from all the COVID fallout, but that a lot there could be done via the competent running of the government. Infrastructure needs spending and that would entail Congress, so that may be a #3 priority.

Is the author sad because Python 3.8 is fixing things? What would he rather have them do? Not fix things?

Or is he sad because millions of people around the world use Python instead of his shiny new esolang where he’s managed to get all the things right™?

Hindsight is always 20/20. This kind of snark achieves nothing.
It's true that I'm using "LTS" very sloppily. Last time I looked into this in depth, it wasn't at all clear how community/third-party maintenance of old versions was going to be handled. It still isn't entirely clear.

It's certainly true that "LTS" is not an official thing for OpenJDK or Oracle. But if Red Hat is doing LTS for 11, and are upstreaming their patches to the OpenJDK updates repo, then LTS is a thing in practice. Even if AdoptOpenJDK aren't doing any backporting, just building OpenJDK, that's functionally an LTS.

The comment you link to is astoundingly bad, given who it's from. In particular:

> The safest, easiest approach is to use the current JDK. You get a well-maintained JDK and never have to do another major upgrade.

No, you may have to do a major upgrade every six months.
I get ads on facebook for cheap Bose speakers and software license serial numbers for cheap. there is no way both can be true.

The key part that you have missed is "in my mind". I'm personally equally likely to move to either US or Russia, if I was offered enough money. And reasons why I wouldn't want to move to either are pretty similar - that's not me saying that the countries are the same.
Google was showing softcore porn images and words on kids videos in Dutch recently, and I couldn't figure out any way to send a note about the ads (just say that they weren't relevant to me).
That might be a start, but higher education only scratches the surface of on-the-job skills in engineering. You learn the basic tools, the way of thinking and the skill of acquiring additional knowledge. You get near to zero experience on real engineering problems as encountered in business.

So in the good case this degree might broaden your horizon and teaches you that you don't know enough and in the bad case it might make you overconfident in even more areas while having even less knowledge than from a more focused degree.
You can use the same structure to output data to the screen (or elsewhere) and to find stuff by the key.

My eyesight isn't great, so I use the "Zoom" function on Firefox to increase the font size. But the text now doesn't wrap, and I'm constantly scrolling from side-to-side to be able to read the text. It's tedious in the extreme.

Screen shot here: https://www.solipsys.co.uk/images/daScript.png

Magnification, line truncation, and scroll bar indicated.

* Why doesn't the text wrap to the window size? No idea.

* Why is it written like this? No idea.

Annoying, irritating, and so unnecessary.
I don't understand the parameter section. What fundamental mistake is python trying to remedy with the must-be-positional parameter?

I don't get why you would want to force people to not name a parameter.

Like, why is it so bad that I write:

Who does it help that this throws an error?
> Is it not seen as societally acceptable in the States to wear colorful clothes as a male teenager/adolescent?

Anecdote: I visited the US last year and happened to be invited by a friend to a climbing gym in the bay area. Said friend wore a shirt that was pink/purple. I was there for two hours or so.

In this time he got two comments about the color, jokingly painting a picture of him as being gay.
The reason for this is the reputable products are all sold out. The usual response would be to increase prices to keep them in stock, but currently amazon bans sellers who do that because of price gouging laws, and so sellers list their stock on other platforms instead.

Could they really do this? Start making incompatible designs? I would have thought that Apple's ARM architecture license would include terms to preclude incompatible forks.
Head over to the 68kmla.org forum where the gurus are, and state the precise symptoms. Also, make sure you've replaced the PRAM battery as they will leak at some point and damage the mainboard, usually beyond repair. Same for old leaky capacitors, which leak their corrosive contents onto the mainboard, causing all kinds of nasty and hard to diagnose problems.
I had a similar set-up and did some screencasts on it a few years back (link below). It worked well, and was the least-sucky thing out there for plain-text email, but in the end I just got fatigued at continuously having to switch to another viewer (a browser) in order to properly see HTML email, which was ubiquitous. I ran back into Gmail's loving embrace, not happily, but reluctantly.

100% in agreement.

One nit: OTP instead of BEAM. The supervised processes and modules as application is due to the OTP framework. What that means is that, it's possible to have it in other programming languages as well. Or not, and managed the application with some OS process manager.

You're correct, there's barely any difference, from a structural point of view.

I was mainly taking issue with the author's comparison of processes with microservices:

> You can consider each process a logical microservice

But as you said, the process trees can be considered (micro)services, but I wouldn't say that each process represents a microservice. It's just not accurate in my opinion.

I suppose it is about the following article:

"Levitating Cells to Sort the Fit and the Fat"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32352239/

"Density is a core material property and varies between different cell types, mainly based on differences in their lipid content. Sorting based on density enables various biomedical applications such as multi-omics in precision medicine and regenerative repair in medicine. However, a significant challenge is sorting cells of the same type based on density differences. Here, a new method for real-time monitoring and sorting of single cells based on their inherent levitation profiles driven by their lipid content is reported."

I could agree. Coming to Erlang from Elixir, I truly appreciate the simplicity and small size of the Erlang language. Making it possible to write exhaustive documentation. In fact, in Joe's book he defers a lot to the online docs/manual for in-depth treatment of a lot of topics.
> Amazon treats the entire experience as their transaction, they anonymize the emails and don't allow sellers to send follow-messages to clients or market other products to them (package inserts)

That hasn't been true for a quite a while. They changed this because product liability lawsuits used this to argue Amazon owns the customer relationship. As a result there were several HN posts outraged about no longer having privacy when purchasing products.
If you're a teapot, it's definitely better.

Possibly the largest outcry against governance by algorithm the west has seen to date. Huge numbers of students are already threatening to appeal the A-Level results. And the GCSE class represents a group many times the size of those taking A-Level exams.

Wow, thanks for showing that post on Twitter. I think I did five different Google searches on this topic and I could not find a single link because Google kept feeding me garbage search results (Off-topic: Google Search is getting really, REALLY frustrating recently to find what I want and I'm not sure if it's me or the search engine. It seems like Google Search is getting worse and worse with every passing month, like it's not specific anymore and it doesn't care what words or quotes I put in the search query).

Anyway, half that Twitter post is about platform manipulation, which I agree definitely relates to bots. However, I still have this gut feeling that platform manipulation is done almost unilaterally by swarms of people, not bots. I think the definition of the term I am familiar with is clashing with how the word is being used.

> However, My point still stands: If the accuser cannot prove that a particular account has the properties of being a "robot" which issues replies very quickly in an automated fashion [0], then perhaps the fault is on Twitter not being able to find a way to disclose if these accounts are either a "bot or not".

I really don't think it takes a genius to realize which accounts are automatons and not-automatons, because the former replies nonsensically. So, I was going to reply to your comment saying that it's not really necessary for Twitter to disclose which accounts are bots or not. However, after typing out that sentence, I realize that technologists (which I identify as) have a better understanding on what is capable by state-of-the-art automation.

Do you really think that people genuinely can't tell which social media accounts are bots or not? My emerging understanding was that "bot" was a label used to mostly maliciously insult others, but I did not consider that these people could genuinely not tell if the accounts were bots or not.

I'm not saying I could not be fooled by a program, because there is that recent instance of someone from my university claiming to have fooled Hacker News with GPT-3 [0]. Unlike a blog post or article, however, it's much easier to tell when you are having an interactive discussion and a back-and-forth of talking points. This is why I have a hard time believing that anyone actually thinks someone they are talking to is a "bot".

In New York City you can literally wear anything and no one will say a word or acknowledge your existence as a human being.

I'm not familiar with the UK system, so I'm confused here. Did the exams not take place? Or are they done by the schools? I though the a-levels are standardised country-wide / not sure where the original grade they modify comes from.

Since Chrome on iOS is mostly safari (as far as the heavy lifting goes), I expect Chrome on iOS is easier on battery than it is on Android.

My meaning was that Safari is heavily optimized for power usage because most people using it are on mobile devices, and the difference is dramatic, at least on macOS where you can compare it.

I wonder how Chrome's traffic compares across mobile, laptop and desktop (I don't think laptops can be detected in browser stats). They certainly seem to focus on maximum performance above all else.

> Point to point kit is cheaper till you get to the customer-facing aggregation, at which point per-port cost of PON vs PtP is much more in PON's favour, and PON customer kit is very cheap from benefits of scale.

Is there a cross-over point when one becomes cheaper than the other? Total number of customers, customer per kilometre run, customer/population density, other?

> PON on the other hand isn't good for long range links.

There are certainly 'traditional' Ethernet AOM optics that can reach 40 and even 80 km (before getting into the long-haul stuff from the likes of Ciena), but given that most PONs seem to reach at least 20 km for not-outrageous splitter ratios (1:8 ~ 40km, 1:16 ~ 25-30km, 1:32 ~ 15-20km), how far does one actually need to go for most fibre runs?

A recent video on Utopia Fibre has them using AON, and they claim it ended up generally being cheaper:

Pro tip: you can set up a remote repo on any Unix machine with SSH access:

ssh machine "mkdir x; git init x"
git clone machine:x

If you have something sensetive or just want to avoid github/gitlab for some other reason, an empty remote container with SSH access works just as well.
ntfs-3g is adequate for me, so I don't care one way or the other if _this_ driver gets merged. And Linux is not a commercial OS, there's not some prioritised backlog controlling everything goes in, a lot of the time its what someone is willing to make the case for and sonmeone is willing to put in the work for inclusion/support. See all the esoteric/obselete cpu architectures that are still supported in the kernel - there are absolutely more users mounting NTFS drives than running Linux on PPC for example.

However, "mounting windows filesystems" is undeniably a more common case for Linux users as a whole than "mounting amiga filesystems". Maybe WSL changed this, but Windows/Linux dualbooting used to be one of the two gateways for Linux users alongside VMs. Perhaps the absence of a apfs-3g is a contributor we see less Mac/Linux dual boots.
It’s also amazing how versatile solr is - I’ve used as both an embedded search lib in an tool as well as a multi region distributed replicated cluster in large scale prod environments, all from pretty much the same distribution.

Of course there’s nothing to see there. That’s why “completely normal, non-conspiratorial” people would never attend such an event.

To be clear, I’m in no way harping on non-normal people or even conspiratorial people. Just taking issue with the idea that this was a sufficiently unremarkable occurrence for the population who attended to be anything like a normal slice of the American population.

I think Go does it very well here (since they don't want to guarantee the order) - getting consistent order in almost every case is the worst of both worlds, because people won't learn about the underlying implementation, they'll notice that it seems ordered and will rely on this behaviour.
I think it depends on how they maintain their social circle. If they spend most of their time in online communities, it'd be easy to surround themselves with people telling them how brave and beautiful they are for transitioning. Abigail Shrier said that one of the trans people she interviewed said that after Katelyn Jenner transitioned and being trans became more "popular", they would regularly have strangers approach them on the street and at restaurants to tell them how brave they are for being trans.

I was motivated to quit smoking cigarettes because the girl I started seeing said they were gross.

The way I quit was by purchasing a brand new pack, unwrapping it, and placing them in the glove-box of the truck I worked out of all day, doing construction. I believed as long as they were always in close reach and I could still resist, then I could likely resist all other times.

It worked.
Is there anything in the HN guidelines about willfully dismissing or obscuring the truth? This comment makes me feel like there should be.

Afaict that seems to be an agreement that a patent holder enters into a third party with to promise to license their patents to implementors of the standard. In this case there is no standard, just the patents and associates technology, so I'm not sure that applies.

You can mention columns from the select clause by ordinal in group by and order by clauses, in lieu of restating the full expression. Very helpful with complex expressions, but IMO not the greatest for readability, so I tend to only use it in ad hoc queries. It's part of SQL-92, but I believe it is deprecated.

Many interpreters let you use a column alias from the select clause in the group and order clauses. This has better readability IMO but I'm not sure it's in the SQL-92 standard, but I believe it is now standardized.
