I would change the first two lines to:

from sympy.abc import *
from sympy import *

I would put that into a file, and auto-load it at startup so I don't need to run it manually every time - one way of doing that is using iPython profiles.

Also put this in your startup file to get more pleasant looking output:

init_printing(use_unicode=True)

Once you've done that, you only need to type:

y = a*x**2 + b*x + c
solve(y,x)
I agree. But the simplicity of deploying Algo (for those who can) means that you can always spin up a new instance, use it and trash it regularly to avoid being tied to a single IP (though I'm not convinced that hiding in a crowd based on IP address is going to be of help; it would still require several other mitigating measures in place against tracking).
Name 10 things that have gotten better in California over the last 10 years.

As a tax paying citizen, it's perfectly valid to criticize the state for being poorly run and making things worse. If you can't handle the criticism then that's a different issue.
With JS, until recently, it was nearly impossible to design immutable API's. Everything takes JSON based objects which have no field accessors. All the objects underneath are just hashmaps with string keys.

When all your objects are hashmaps you can't really make fields immutable. Even if you wrote getters, someone can just reassign the function reference.

Even if you check your fields in incoming object parameters, somebody can randomly add more fields that you don't know about. Until recently you couldn't stop people from randomly adding fields to your objects

Nowadays JS supports stuff like freeze thaw which makes it easier

It would be one of the most significant scientific discoveries in history. The amount of people that think the moon landing was faked and no longer discuss the achievements of the past, leaves me with a dour attitude towards future significance. It would be nice to have.

To some degree yeah, but not enough to really change things. You can widen freeways and add a trolley line here and there, but no one, as far as I know, is bulldozing subdivisions of low-density housing and relaying out the road network. CA is trying half measures like allowing higher density redevelopment in suburbs and it makes things worse. The communities weren't designed for high density.
Progressive Enhancement with WebGL and React
Taking this comment on good faith, I'm just asking for my own edification. I've lived in Seattle, downtown adjacent, for 10+ years, and really love it, even with COVID, outside of the few weeks where we've had bad smoke. Obviously if half the year is going to be like this, I'm leaving regardless of the salary ramifications, but if we are talking a week or so every couple years, it might be a different story. I moved to Seattle to escape other problematic issues where I used to live, and I suspect the same is true for lots of folks.

Is this really what a "done" software is? "Should not be used for new projects" is not "done" imo, it's more like "unfixable" and "obsolete". No prejudice at all against Moment.js or its devs, but this is essentially what they're saying.

And the purpose and tone of the article does not seem to be an apology at all, but rather simply setting the expectations for future work so that the maintainers don't have to answer the same questions over and over.

Overall, good to see honest documentation of project status.
> social media was also the tool used to identify Reinoehl

The dumbass was stupid enough to give a _video_ interview, from which his location could likely be identified. 4chan found Shia LaBeouf's flag from far less, and I can only assume the FBI is better at this than 4chan. If you read more about him (which I'm sure you have), you'll see that this is not a coincidence. The guy has been leaving a trail of chaos behind him for most of his adult life.

> almost entirely filled with keyboard warriors who just shitpost

_Almost_ is the operative word. Quite a few believe the shit the "shitposters" post. Lacking life experience and historical perspective, they're trying to usher a future in which they themselves would be the first to go. This is what happened in Russia a hundred years ago: 6 months before the revolution Vladimir Lenin gave a lecture in Zurich in which he said he was sure the revolution would not happen in his lifetime. So in a way Lenin too was a "shitposter", who, 6 months before, believed shitposting would not have consequences. And then the revolution did happen. And then Lenin eliminated most of the useful idiots, as well as a lot of his higher level comrades - no one wants competition.

This is due to a confluence of economic stress caused by WW1, some foreign cash from Germany, and (illegal) newspapers, printed abroad, then brought over the border and distributed. Interestingly, Lenin was radicalized by the execution of his brother Aleksandr Ulyanov, for the attempted assassination of Tsar Alexander the Third.

This isn’t me disagreeing with the design decision, this was their own explanation for why you shouldn’t use Moment.js in the future.

My point was that the reason we’re transitioning away from it is because of technical reason, not because it’s not being updated.

Yes. But are they successful. It is AMD that kick intel not the other way round both architecture x86 64 bit) and now through working with others (Taiwan which is not in your list) to break their hardware.

Might and reality is not right.

We need competition. We adore competition. And even the countries you quote many do have competition. You just do not innovate and of course one can try to stop and rest. But the works does not.

Be water not mountain my friend.
...but there's nothing to "fix", it works as intended. You might want to do things differently nowadays, is all - that's not on Moment.

Re: "obsolete"... jQuery is somewhere laughing, having gone through this already.

The title is a bit clickbaity, but some parts of the article were interesting (there is a lot of noise though, if what you’re looking for are technical details).

In case some of you are interested by the “merge” structure they mention, you can look for “Minimalist Program”, by Chomsky and others. That’s where it comes from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalist_program
That is the key. There are and need to have alternatives. Real one.

Not the one to rule them all is the key to every innovation.
Seems like the original quote is from "Materialized Apparitions: If Not Beings from Another Life, What Are They" written in 1885 by Edward Augustus Brackett.

IMHO, the business value lies in the data and the way they are structured. The user interface is important to the users, but the data are what make the business run longer than its users. Basically, without the data you can't provide the service; or worse, with bad quality data, you can't provide a good service.

I've spent (in bizdev, e-gov) tons of time figuring out badly structured data, fixing data quality issues, handling tons of administrative tasks to access sensitive data, etc.

I think it's up to a point where the structure of the databases actually influence the structure of the government. That's because nowadays, the databases and the business rules they embody are so complex that even the civil servants tend to forget how they work.
What if the other six had enough plutonium on them to collectively trigger a nuclear blast? What if one of the Nazis had super powers and wasn't fully committed to the Reich's agenda? What if this comment goes on forever, listing increasingly ridiculous scenarios?

To answer your particular hypothetical question: I can't say for certain, but I sure hope that yes, it would bother me to disinvite that person in that situation. But I don't see how your post relates to the topic at hand.
JS just has a very simple, flawed design. It's still a rather bad language from a design perspective.

One of the shortcuts is that all objects are hashmaps. Fully mutable hashmaps with string keys. You can do this:

obj.prop = "hi";
obj["prop"] = "bye";

And you set the same field. And you can do that to any object, reassigning any field type.

Most languages have static number of fields in an object, or at least static types for fields already created.

Another huge shortcoming is prototype chain based inheritance. Someone can rewrite a random link in your chain and suddenly you have another object type entirely. It's also very bad for performance. Essentially, the inheritance tree of an object can change at runtime.

Thank goodness I bumped in to this comment. I run a software company and we use a spreadsheet for a CRM and I thought I'd try AirTable as an upgrade without taking the big step towards SalesForce.

I just could not make it work with AirTable. I was seriously starting to doubt my IT abilities!
I'd been complaining about these issues for years.

I kinda hate being vindicated years later, the time in between as an outsider kinda frustrates me.

I wish we had a more thoughtful, less packrat culture in programming. Fighting off the pushback is exhausting. It's not even worth bringing things up most of the time.

And as a disclaimer to those feeling tempted, I've got zero interest in debating this reality, water is wet.
How to Automate MS Teams with Python
Haha this is really good :) I was never fond of this "serverless" naming, precisely because it could lead people to believe that there where actually no servers, but I had never seen such a good example of it :)

Oh and guess what, not only there are servers, but other people can run code on the same server as your code is running. Doesn't feel as safe suddenly ;)

Alternative phrasing: "This is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, and Cloudflare engineers are probably doing a better job running my code securely than I would"
Thank you to the Moment.js project and all the developers who worked on it. I’ve used it in many projects and it’s always been great to use. Thanks for all the work you all put in :)
Yeah, active development is always a good sign. These days at least NPM shows popularity, quality and maintenance data in search, and flags up known vulnerabilities so you can at least see if a project is rotten, or just no longer maintained (which may be ok in some circumstances).

Abusing the Type System
I was about to write the same thing. I like "done". The best libraries are the ones in maintenance mode, with long-term stability goals. The worst libraries are ones where the author(s) do a Major Rewrite every year or two.

There is a widespread meme/trope about something being "dead". Whenever I hear someone saying that a language/library is "dead", I make a point of checking that person's credentials. It almost always turns out that these are not people who write big applications or well-known libraries, but rather ambulance chasers — constantly looking for the next shiny thing.
EU ditching daylight savings time is unlikely to happen next year, as the legislation is only at draft stage and hasn't been finalised yet. The original proposal in 2018 called for it to end in 2019, but various industries pushed back saying that a transition would need more time. Because of Brexit (Ireland wants to use the same timezone as Northern Ireland, i.e. keep daylight savings time) and COVID-19 it's been delayed.
The term inauthentic is more accurate. Someone paying 100 people to go troll or like things is causing "real" activity, but it's not "authentic".

Prefetching is always privacy issue because you don’t know what’s running on the server side. They will log what I’m looking at and which sites I’m probable to view next. That’s almost Amazon level on page tracking.
I think I could probably build an invisible grid and use that script to track users more precisely, but I haven’t looked into it.
Prefetching can be misused and therefore should not be allowed. And yes, it’s theoretical. So are XSS, CSRF, and others.

I do think that's a poor way to handle the situation. Playing Devil's Advocate here, but is there a better way for that organization, in their fragile political position and immense power in the world, to handle situations like that? The sheer amount of bandwidth to moderate and manage every piece of data responsibly is so vast, there has to be a way of ranking content and trends and to allocate resources to them.

It's not morally sound to have an organization optimize for public image, but they are THE public image platform. Optimizing for social good would be so much better but that's really hard to track and quantify and it can be so divisive on some topics. Esp. now that trends marked "social good" are so quickly developed and redeveloped as other things.

"This immeasurability is inversely proportional to the tangible, real value created".

Although I understand your view,Financial sector and banks in particular is a very regulated sector which means that significant number of people working there have their job almost entirely related to making sure the company comply with the rules from the different jurisdictions.
From your perspective, they do add no value to the company ( actually there are cost center) but are crucial to ensure company can operate legally.
To add an additional layer of complexity, new rules from different countries, authorities, committees are updated/ amended quite regularly ( last one is the LIBOR demise which will have a huge impact on the market where no clear rules,have acknowledged nor agreed).
So even you would try to quantify those costs ( legal issue with new rules implementation which lead to update the system or create one from scratch while making sure this will comply with internal task,etc...), it is quite difficult to assess what is the optimal allocation the company needs to allocate.
As an illustrative example, it took 2 years to validate some components of the google cloud features (some are still pending) because of all the intetnal rules set out.

More globally, yes there are people adding no value to the company but the can be hardly spot on from top management view.
It's not just state actors, but all kinds of neighborhood ones too. OP topic was non-state.

Based on FB algorithms, I think "impressions" have won convincingly.
I think rather than waste bandwidth and fight for those last 80ms, we should fix sites that take multiple seconds to load. Especially after the first load — subsequent pages should load instantly.

In general, it's 2020, and if every click on your site takes 5 seconds, something is very wrong.

> If you look at the pricing on that rclone page[1] you'll see that at quantity it is as low as 0.5 Cents Per GB / Month.

That's good but at the volume needed to reach it, I imagine that you're in the realm of "contact us and get a special deal" at other providers (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure) too.

Plus, we haven't even got to the "you have to pay for capacity, not usage" aspect of rsync.net pricing.

Pricing is the big thing I wish you'd fix. Your service has a bunch of cool features but they're just not worth that price, not when I can get most of the same features from Hetzner for a fraction of the cost.

> As for bandwidth intensive protocols, we have HPN-SSH[2] patches built into our environment which allow for high bandwidth transfers, over SSH, over long WAN links.

That's cool (honestly, not being condescending) but my point was that for most of the reasons you'd be excited about free bandwidth, rsync.net isn't a viable solution. For example you can't host images, videos, software updates, machine learning datasets or other large binaries and serve them over HTTP on the public internet.
> just might be the content you engage with the most, and the algorithm blindly follows your whims and preference

No, it's the content that other people engage with. Disregarding the whole "engagement is a good metric of how much you want to see something" bullshit, if you served me food based on what other people like to eat, it would be a weird mix of gluten free vegan stuff, and also coke, pizza and doritos.

I don't want any of that shit. I'm not "many people". I don't need to be fed the same irrelevant garbage as them. But the only way to achieve that is to unfollow everyone and not get many useful updates. Which is what I'm doing, but it's just barely useful, and the popular crap still seeps in at every opportunity.

In the case where an article causes you to subscribe, the topic area can be sustained by a smaller audience.

Eg., this is how netflix maintains a large library of niche films. It is enough just that they profit on them, not that they are popular.

The issue in OP appears to be that his articles were always included with the printed newspaper, and some people were curious enough to read it. However those people would never think to seek out that content.

So it's a question of "how do you serve the intellectual curiosity" in an era where mere popularity is the main recommendation system?

I don't think it's as big of a problem as he seems to think, only, that newspapers now have no answer to it. Many institutions for the intellectually curious (newspapers, universities, etc.) don't serve that function anymore.
My guess is this. Many companies are thinking about geo-readjustment. The true primary reason is that they want to lower their costs, given that a significant portion of their employees reside in high cost of living location (Bay Area, Seattle, or any European capital). However, my bet is that this is going to pan out poorly in the next couple of years and the scheme will need to be abandoned or thought over. First, there are plenty of people who will want to live in San Francisco, New York or London even when they are no longer required to do so for work. This means that their high cost of living stays with them. This means they can only accept job offers that support it. Another thing may turn out to be true. When employees are informed that their salary will be lowered when they move to another location, this may not sit well with them. So they may not move or they will have a strong sense of resentment. Basically in 1-2 years, we'll realize that what works in theory creates too many unnecessary problems and is not the way to go forward.
