You can check out download stats stats for Urwid on PyPI Stats [1], that should give you a decent idea of its popularity.

Also check out the list of applications built with Urwid [2]. Probably the two most popular applications that use Urwid are bpython [3] (an alternative Python REPL that is really nice), and PUDB [4] (a nice Python debugger that is reminiscent of Borland's Turbo Pascal). I use bpython all the time, it's a lifesaver, and I occasionally fire up PUDB when I am really stuck on something.

I've used Urwid in a couple of projects (most notably Zeitzono [5]), it's nice in that it's fairly high level and gives you a number of helpful widgets to work with. Starting with it from scratch is a little daunting, so you should look at existing projects to see how they are using the library. Also, I believe Urwid development has slowed down somewhat in the last few years (although other folks maybe stepping up to take over from the original author, I haven't follow up on this in a while).

Also definitely take a look at Python Prompt Toolkit [6]. They started off as library for writing line-oriented command interpreters, but now can also be used for building full screen applications. I've not yet built an application using it, but it looks really good and is actively developed. ptpython [7] is a REPL built using this library and gives bpython a run for its money.

> This claim is just as problematic. You may view it as weaker, but algorithmicly speaking it's the same nonsense.

It's an existential claim, not a mathematical claim.

The claim is simply that markets are more efficient than other mechanisms, proposed or extant, which actually exist in the real world.

Clearly to quantify this claim requires some real mathematical analysis, but that's quite beyond my talents or interest. I'm just here to point out that the weakened claim is "markets are the best we've got", not anything theoretical nor abstract.

And I'd suggest reading my reply to the absurd thermodynamics bit before assuming too much about my thoughts on it!
If you find my blog post as "ramblings", then how come you come to the conclusion that I have "absolutely no claim"?

This man is a credible person in NANOG. He completed my paper and started to defend me there. https://www.mail-archive.com/nanog@nanog.org/msg99136.html

Which is why Apple engineers started to read my paper in Feb 2019 and "sign in with apple" ready by June 2019.

Have you ever thought about it the other way? You find my technical post as ramblings because you don't have enough technical skills to understand the merits of my work?
as a Murakami fan (both Hiroku and Ryu), I have to admin that a lot of the feeling of the novels come from the translator. I've been a bigger fan of Birnbaum than Rubin, which led me to attempt to find Birnbaum's translation of Norwegian Wood, hoping that I'd like it better.

Unfortunately, no Birnbaum Norwegian Wood for me, but reading Haruki's books put me into an interesting state of enlightenment. Contrasted, Ryu's books bring in a dark whimsical side which is also enchanting.
It's all good. You are 100% right that it's still a good use-case.

And yeah, in Rust we have a separate CString type that's null terminated, so you may need a copy to move between the two worlds. It just depends, if you're only reading, for example, then you can create a pointer + len where the length doesn't include the 0, and that's effectively zero cost.

You got me curious about my days as a kid putting "pascal" in front of Mac System 7 stuff; I believe that it only accepted Pascal strings. I also vaguely remember people doing funny stuff like null terminating pascal strings anyway and then putting the length before the actual pointer so that you get both in one...
This is almost entirely wrong. The Sherman Act has 2 sections. Section 1 prohibits actions like price fixing and bid rigging regardless of market power. It's section 2 that prohibits monopolization and requires monopoly power.

The majority of antitrust claims are brought under the Sherman Act. Apple's ebook price fixing case was brought under Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

All of Epic's federal claims against Apple are alleged violations of the Sherman Act.
If I'm reading the docker-compose file correctly, this creates an open dns resolver that is accessible to the outside, as Docker by default bypasses the firewall, see https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker. I'm not quite sure about that, though, so I'd be happy to be corrected and learn more about how your setup works exactly.

European statistics bureaus have mandates to share and normalize such data. Eurostat aggregates such data.
The idea that Sweden had no lockdown measures at all and other places had draconian lockdowns where the whole population was closed down for three months is a strawman. They are also near the bottom on all those indicators you mentioned. Doing better than the US or Brasil is a very low bar for this. And what we're discussing here isn't that their strategy is "obviously wrong" it's that it's very definitely not "vindicated".
Neat. Thank you :)
it has always been impossible to donate directly for firefox or any specific mozilla initiative. any donations just got black-holed with questionable sideshow shit continuing to happen. i stopped donating at that point; that's not how i want to "vote with my wallet".

I think you are in agreement with the parent on the overarching problem, but just bikeshedding the metaphor used to explain the problem here.
I would be very surprised if there wasn't some exception for papers published abroad. Otherwise they would be potentially ignoring a lot of information about candidates.
Are you explicitly banning traders from trading? For example requiring you have to wait x months from purchase date before you can sell your shares.
Maybe not, but they're vastly more complex than any Civilization game has been.
It's definitely not a given even in big cities. In San Francisco the only places I've seen it offered are big apartment buildings with 50+ units. At least from what I've seen, even in pretty dense parts of the cities if you're in a small apartment building with like 10 units or you're in a duplex or attached SFH you can't get fiber service.

The upside is we can still get gigabit service over cable lines through comcast for a fairly reasonable price (although with terrible upload speeds, data caps on the plan, and the need to fight with support every year to prevent your price from going up, as with all comcast plans).
We probably can't get long term results to study until there has been a long term.
This is great! Will you be supporting the different type of inboxes e.g. "Important first"?

> Functional doesn’t mean stateless (state exists as closures within higher order functions, such as in the composition of functional components within React)

Being stateless and side-effect free is pretty fundamental to functional programming. If you can't replace a function call with its resulting value (without changing the meaning of the program) then it is not functional programming.

React is neither stateless nor side-effect free. Mapping it to concepts from functional programming is counter-productive. You get something that is neither fish nor fowl.
This is one the reason why I am glad I do web development instead of mobile apps.
Binyamin Appelbaum said about Milton Friedman that he celebrated drivers but took roads for granted. Seems to me that you're doing much the same thing.
Fiber in a ring? Now you've given me flashbacks of FDDI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_Distributed_Data_Interfa...).

The nice thing about FDDI was it could tolerate one node failure, because it has two rings. (Each node has two fiberoptic cables to both its neighbors.) If a node fails, its neighbors just send traffic the other direction.

That law explains how an item that was not originally sold in the US can have no US warranty at all, for anyone.

So the claim that "manufacturers must honor warranties regardless of who you bought the product from" is still true. If it ever had a US warranty, that warranty will not be invalidated by any selling or reselling.
20 AU per year is a tremendous distance. Pluto is apparently right around 25 AU. Is this speed actually feasible even with solar sails?

Big layman here. I only skimmed this link but this stood out to me.

You can use multiple threads and multiple processes on a single core - that is the purpose of timesharing operating systems after all.
You seem pretty smart to me. Good advice.
Are there an infinite number of theorems that could be proven? Or are we only interested in the class of mathematical truths that are interesting to humans?

Wow, it's cool to see all of the collective knowledge that people bring to hackernews comments. Very interesting questions! Hope Emrod answers them.
It took over a year for my mom to get cable at her house. Never occurred to me to start my own ISP instead.
It might be, but _starting_ a scraping project with a headless browser might be excessively expensive if you don't need the additional features.
Early versions of 5G, known as “non standalone”, are just glorified 4G. With the exception of the radio link, everything else is 4G. This means that the value proposition is that more people per base station (or per surface area) will be able to stream video, download fast etc.

When stand alone 5G becomes available, the latency of the network will become comparable to the latency of wired networks, especially if it is combined with mobile edge computing. Then, you will have access to new services that are impossible now, such as game steaming and VR.

I agree though that 5G is way more important for the public sector and the industry than the average consumer.

Any chance sorting can be supported?
I guess it really depends on how much power they can transmit.

If you get a lot of power, the simplest concept Would be an electric heater to increase the temperature of the propellant above what it could get through combustion. The higher the temperature the greater the expansion and the more thrust per pound of propellant is obtained.
I do think there are some reasonable limits to look forward to WRT average bandwidth consumption by a typical user.

For instance, there is a maximum display resolution after which point it does not make any sense to continue adding pixels, color depth or redraws per second. Most would successfully argue that we have hit that point years ago. For such displays, there is a constant maximum amount of video information that could be presented per unit time. This is somewhere in the realm of 10~1000mbps.

Audio is another good example where we've decided that ~1.5 mbps for uncompressed stereo audio is about as much as you'd ever really need.

Beyond this, there isn't a whole lot else that consumes substantial bandwidth per device. Assuming all gaming would be streaming over such incredible networks and A/V technologies, there is no need to worry about archaic things such as application binary, texture or other asset sizes.
Sorry, let me clarify; your ramblings contain no _valid_ claim.

Your link to NANOG (incidentally, the wrong forum for your queries) does not contain any defense of your "Sign in with Apple" ramble, it's for something unrelated which appears to be you trying to invent antispam methods.

Your post is not of a technical nature and there is no merit to your claims that Apple copied you. It is all hearsay with no proof of any sort.

How can you enforce long term holding without explicitly banning shareholders from selling within an x month period of purchase date? I think it should be a law that you have to wait like 6 months before you can sell a stock... that would eliminate ALL traders and craziness in the markets.
politicians holding speeches

Curious about this. I can count on one hand the politicians I truly admire/respect, including the world leaders (among the ones I am familiar with, and I am familiar with a few). Why do you think politicians are getting better with speeches? All I see are useless, meaningless, confusing soup of words that they blabber (with few exceptions)
Cool! I’ve actually been meaning to do something similar for removing tracks from a playlist. You can add a whole album to a playlist in one click but you need to remove all the tracks one at a time.
It was like 80 degrees in Phoenix, AZ today... in the middle of summer. That's basically unheard of.

I guess you could say that even giant smoke clouds sometimes have silver linings...
I don't believe the point was to deceive.

Exposing lightning, and an indoor inventor, would require very different apertures and shutter speeds.

As I understand it, sitting nonchalantly while his Tesla coil threw gouts of lightning was a stunt which Tesla would frequently perform.

It took a bit of trickery to produce a photograph of it, sure. But anyone who has been to Burning Man has seen such feats as bands 'obliviously' playing music mere feet from a running Tesla coil.

A significant number of people won't get back to life as usual, because they'll be dead, or have one of the sets of long term symptoms.

It is absolutely worth continuously assessing whether the measures are necessary and what is and is not working, but that requires not throwing a huge number of people under the bus
You should follow through on some of those links to the actual papers. They have structural problems. The first assumed that there was a 50% chance of the individuals living to 100. That is not realistic. But the business insider article does allow for people to sensationalize and feel smug in their knowledge that the long term economic and existential damage from bunkering and collapsing the economy was all worth it.
Would Tesla’s idea have worked? Is there anywhere I can read up on it?

They have fewer new cases than Spain and France.

Let me take a stab at answering. And I'll answer 2 questions, not 1.

1. Why do we need Bayesian estimation? Can't we just all use MLE, and live in harmony? If MLE was good for Gauss and Laplace and Fisher, why isn't it good for me? Answer: for many problems the likelihood function is unbound. In fact the cases where the likelihood function are bounded, so the MLE makes sense, are few and far between. But if you think of the likelihood as a function with a hump somewhere, you have several choices for a single number that best describes the function: mode, mean, median for example. MLE corresponds to mode, can we use the mean instead? Also, does it not even make better sense to use mean rather than mode? Sure it does, and if you use mean you become a Bayesian. But can the likelihood be unbounded and have a finite mean, you ask? Yes, it happens quite often, sufficiently often that in practice people don't worry about that.

Once you start using mean instead of mode (and therefore you can proudly call yourself a Bayesian), you get a number of side benefits: you get parameter uncertainty estimation for free, and you can start multiplying your likelihoods with various functions that make your life easier. You can interpret those functions as regularization functions, or prior, you can even start talking about expert knowledge, and delve into philosophical meanderings. No need to do that , there are enough people on the internet who do that.

2. Why Monte Carlo? Because calculating means of high-dimensional distributions is not easy. In most cases you are hit with the curse of dimensionality. Separately, the distributions that you work with are not known only up to a multiplicative constant. So the problem is how do you estimate the mean of a vector (v1, v2, ...., vn) when you know its distribution, but only up to a constant? The answer is Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and if you learn that, you get special powers.

So why do Bayesians need Monte Carlo? Because they like to be like super-heroes and have special powers.

Optic swap to the 10G was today.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. It's definitely not too crazy of an idea, given what's been known since general relativity was confirmed and the discovery that black holes do indeed exist. I haven't looked into it, but I wouldn't be surprised if many other people have proposed it in the past. I haven't heard or thought of it before, but when I first read it it definitely made a lot of sense, intuitively.

Maybe the downvotes (which seem to no longer outweigh the upvotes?) are because you said "is actually" rather than "might actually be". Humility and uncertainty is crucial in science. Even for a field that's much more testable, and even for a leading scientist in a field, let alone some random speculator on the internet. It's fun to think and talk about these things, but especially as total amateurs, we should never claim anything with even a little bit of confidence.

My own speculative stuff I posted above is probably all dead wrong and hopelessly confused; I'm just throwing it out there as stuff that's popped into my head. And Rovelli may be wrong, too, though he's a highly-respected theoretical physicist and has published several papers about it. And even if the Planck star and black hole/white hole theory is true, it may not necessarily mean it has anything to do with how our universe started; that's just additional unsubstantiated speculation by me and some other people, and not anything Rovelli has claimed, though his theory seems to have increased discussion about that topic.

Here're some resources:

Then explain the Hubble volume: unless you believe the Earth is at the center of the universe, basic reasoning tells you that there is a sphere beyond which is outside our light cone, and yet outside which the universe still exists.

Are you saying the observable universe is bounded to our Hubble volume?
Yes, but I don't see how that applies to the subject matter at hand. There is no law that says an employer has to provide extra financial support to parents in extenuating circumstances like this.

> As a society, we decide what things are important to us and everyone gets to help support those, like it or not.

If GP doesn't care about supporting parents or future generations (and he is in a position to make this decision), it's certainly his prerogative to not do so.
We are not (yet?) living in a post-national world, but the simple digital solution is to require a digital copy to be sent to the national library, as some nations have done; since national libraries in any case are now all heavily working on digitizing their pre-digital assets and making them available online.
That's not true. Your immune system actively randomizes its dna and reprograms itself stocastically, followed by a system of natural selection to pick winners. There is generally speaking not reproducibility, it will not "work almost the same way" between two organisms, given identical input DNA from birth.
Good point, although note that console game rental was also a thing at the time, it is easy to share cartridges (just not playing at the same time), and I'd guess there was a larger second hand market in console games as well. So there would also be more console game players than sales would indicate.
