> I never found this type of argument satisfying. It's more of an appeal to emotion than a rational reason.

John Oliver used a similar tactic when speaking about Edward Snowden and the Patrioct Act. Instead of framing it about rights, pricacy and stuff, he talkes about dick picks. It kinda worked? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEVlyP4_11M
I see this argument a lot and for some reason it doesn't help me with the intuition at all. If you (wrongly) get caught up on the fact that the remaining door and your pick have the same initial probabilities of being a car, then you'll still think that switching doesn't make a difference even in the million-door case.

Here's what works for me:

- the switching strategy always gives you the opposite of your initial choice

- the initial probabilities are 2/3 goat and 1/3 car so by switching you get 2/3 car and 1/3 goat

#1 is a non-sequitur. Yes, GUI is non-trivial. But why would that mean that a good GUI layer should be language-agnostic? It just means that if it’s not, you will need to do more work to make it good.

#2 is nonsense. You assert it makes no sense to invest in only-for-Rust GUI libraries, with no support whatsoever; I flatly disagree. Part of my reasoning is that, if nothing else, an exclusive-to-Rust GUI will be ploughing new ground because of the differences that are forced on the GUI library by the differences in the language, and it will come up with new ideas that will help others in other languages, progressing the state of the art. So yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense, even if it is only available for Rust (though the potential for smooth cross-language operation definitely excites me—I said to Raph a few days ago that I was interested to note that it was actually this that was exciting me the most about the Crochet architecture, that you can have the GUI library in one language and use it entirely from a separate language). But then also as imm says, if you use bindings to something else, you’re throwing away a significant advantage of using Rust. (Similarly, you’ll want to be careful if you’re exposing Rust code to other languages to make sure that you’re not harming either side because of the difference in philosophies.) And if I want to work in Rust, why should I care about C/C++/Delphi? Why should I make compromises on the sort of GUI library I can have just because other languages exist? (Sure, there are definite advantages to pooling resources across language ecosystems, but there are costs as well, that’s my point, and why I think it is unreasonable to say say “it makes no sense” as you did.)

#3 is brimming full of assumptions that there is good cause to suspect are false. You were present in the Towards Principled Reactive UI thread a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24599560), which is basically all about developing models that don’t depend on complex ownership graphs. Sure, GC languages work better for the traditional breed of observer-based GUIs, but that’s not the only feasible approach—it’s merely the simplest to implement at the library level, which is why it got so popular. So Rust is probably not a good language for supporting that particular traditional style of UI, but there’s reason to suspect that it may actually be very good for other types of UIs.

I'd say 2% is a whole lot for a single industry, but there's a few more things that make this concerning.

It's an industry that has been growing a lot. It is an industry that is very unevenly used by the world population (many people don't fly at all). And it's an industry that barely has any idea how to fix its emission problem. (H2 will likely only work in short range and is still decades away, synfuels is extremely inefficient.)
I tend to believe this is a valid approach for ML application in public institutions. Being ML a black box or a potential source of discrimination, setting up systems to ensure credibility within the public should be addressed early on in the design process (perhaps while designing the model itself).

I wouldn't be surprised to see a future where all ML applications affecting citizens and the general public interest (excluding defense, military, etc.) will be obliged to be open-source and subject to public scrutiny.

How does this compare to Dokku?

Been using Dokku for a year now, and it is quite a joy.

Admittedly, I'm not in the 1000s of requests per second space that many other people operate in (I'm in the internet equivalent of the Mom & Pop website hoster space).
I've found Dokku does everything Heroku does, but I get to control it all, which is really nice.

Never tried Caprover or the other container solutions, because I'm not big enough to even exceed single-instance sizes at Hetzner.

My main worries nowadays are:

- What if popularity shot up? How far does my solution scale?

- Hackerzzz. Who is out there just trying to damage something. Not sure it's as bad as the media will have you believe it is, but I still want some relatively strong opsec.

- Disaster recovery. I want to control as much of my stack as possible, so I can fix things when they go wrong, but I just can't seem to shake that eternal worry of 'what have I missed?' in the production DB

I find it quite hard to strike a balance between over engineering things (boy do I wish I had a load balancer that automatically detected an issue with a node somewhere and then did some sort of seamless failover without losing whatever transaction was in progress at the time lol) and just trusting that the thing will work when it has to.

The promise of platforms like Heroku is undeniably less hassle, or a worry-free life, but I don't know whether black-box models can ever truly provide that.

That rarely works. For each consumer that has the time and understanding to not buy the brand there is a thousand that are not aware. The way to go is lobbying for stronger regulations and to limit where Ads and recollection of data can be done.

Define "all the way through"? I mean, on Windows, for example, you're always going to have some C or C++ code from Win32 DLLs on the stack in any GUI app, because you'll need a top-level window even if you're rendering everything else yourself, and it will have a Win32 message loop etc. But if that's acceptable, what's wrong with using the system libraries for text rendering, or even complete widgets?
> if you can't see the flight on the airport's online arrival boards or on flight tracking websites, don't buy the ticket, the flight is likely fictitious.

Afaik the flight gets "confirmed" if enough people buy the tickets. At least that's how I've seen it happen in germany.

The alternative is that they offer the regular schedules, let's say 3 flights per day, let people book, each flight end up being 2/3rd empty. Then they notify the passengers the schedule changed, but in fact they only keep one flight and redirect all passengers to the same plane.
While this looks good at first sight, it reminds me of robbery, wegelagerei/highwayman when thinking longer about it. I mean you need roads anyways, always, if only for emergency- and utility services. Are they exempt, priced in?
What about bicyclists? Will there even be roads accessible to bicyclists between cities in such a system? Or can they simply fuck off, because no market for it? What about freedom of movement?
There are no fission waste products but the reactor deals with massive neutron fluxes that activate all internal components, coolants and the internal fuel fluxes that need to be processed in order to keep the reaction going. The Deutherium-Lithium route is not direct, you need to breed Tritium, a hazardous radioactive gas. There is poor neutron economy and you need neutron multiplicators that also become activated.

While I agree the quantity of waste is low, that doesn't really matter for the general public. We had for decades the technology to put fission waste in deep geological storage, what held it up were political concerns - the same for fast breeders that could burn the waste. So I cannot for the life of me understand how NIMBY-ism, the major cost driver of fission plants (via political challenges, court actions, schedule slips etc.), is allayed, when the plant will regularly ship out tons of hazardous materials through the communities they serve.

As for the fuel cost issue, you cannot use natural Lithium due to low cross section, but blankets made up of tons of enriched Lithium that has a large Li6 content, that are continually circulated and need to be topped off as H3 is bred. No estimate of cost for this feed-stock exists, but it is likely more expensive than natural uranium that can be burnt in a heavy water reactor, for example. (that reactor design has it's own issues with heavy water inventory costs, but this material is most probably easier to produce than enriched Li6, and is not consumed as a fuel)

When you draw the line, the best prospects of ITER derived fusion plants (not existing experiments, mind you, but the theoretical future, practical designs) is at best comparable to existing fusion plants. Why should we waste money on them, if they cannot improve on the current state of the art?
But you almost certainly have gaps and misunderstandings in your native language too. I’ve learnt more than one language, almost entirely through immersion, and my grammar is pretty good. But I’d say if you want to do it well, you have to ask people questions. I was primarily talking to colleagues and friends while working overseas, and I’d say things wrong all the time, and get corrected, and ask questions constantly when I didn’t understand something. The real issue people have with immersion is that you have to be prepared to make a fool of yourself all day, every day, for quite a long time before you really start to get the hang of it.

The really significant upside that I think people tend to gloss over is that my pronunciation is pretty much perfect, because I’d learn to say things by just repeating what I’d heard. On the phone people can’t tell I’m not a native speaker.
Good compilation. I think spreading propaganda over WhatsApp and circlejerking is not exactly specific to BJP supporters and followers. As for assaults on medical personnel, it also happens in states where BJP doesn't rule.

I completely agree about the economy part, but they will not accept it because that doesn't get you votes, just like the previous regime.
If taxes on petrol are not charged for airlines, those businesses will for sure use their cheap petrol in their advantage. The nice-thick-paper mags must have helped them make quite a bit of money on "in flight purchases".

If we are serious about cutting CO2(-equivalent) emissions, we must tax all emittors equally. Airlines should not be able to escape it, or we will keep seeing this kind of oddities in that high pollution industry.
No mention of the meltdown within GDS companies.

GDSs, for those not aware, offer airlines anything from booking/pricing/interoperation services to full IT outsourcing.

These companies basically take a small fee out of every operation done by either Online Travel Agencies (OTA) or the airline itself.

Even before the pandemic airlines were already pissed at these monsters (Travelport and Amadeus being the biggest contenders) that arguably they created, but now with the razor thin margins of airline travel, GDSs are either gonna take a big cut on their already reduced revenue, or the boot.

For Amadeus, virtually all contractors (at least 1000 in one site, multiple thousands worldwide) have been dismissed overnight, and most hired staff are working reduced hours. I can only assume it's been the same for Travelport.
A song were played (it might be nissa sabyan's song) and it incites fear within me. When I perform shavasana afterwards (as the song becomes eargasm) I observed some sensations around muladhara, mula bandha, and my knees. As the feeling of fear, threatening, and survival comes from muladhara, it seems the song that was played was targetting my muladhara.

Also before that I was able to guard my visuddhi against some tensions.

Hi, can you share your process for writing?
I'm certainly glad they are there. It's a better language with them. My point is, they are really just syntactic sugar.

Leaving mypy aside, attrs works perfectly well without annotations, and frankly I find it more powerful than dataclasses anyway.

As I said before, maybe it is just that my use-cases are so different to others' (data science vs. web etc.). But Python is screaming for proper multicore support, better static safety, and presumably other things too. Instead we get niceties.

And yes, of course, it's free, and it's great, and I'm not a contributor (not really in a position to contribute). So I'm not complaining. But also I gained next to nothing from upgrading from 2.7 to 3, and would gain nothing from going up the 3.x ladder. So it's hard for me to whip up enthusiasm about another version of type annotation goodness.

One thing that's not obvious is how to weigh work in the past vs work in the future (I would weigh that equally)
Another thing is how to weigh the amount of risk taken. B "gave up" his studies and a personal project he had, and B and myself (A) both work for a long time with the doubt that we could make the project successful.
I think A and B should be rewarded somewhat for this, the question is how much.

Higher power consumption does not necessarily imply higher suction. Cheap brands did just decrease the motor power and their vacuum cleaners are terrible as a result.

> As a software developer: yes I am!

No. Another reason why the copyright protection not applying to purely automatic processes make sense. A machine could theoretically generate every potential expression understandable by the compiler or interpreter. You can't. You aren't capable of the same mass production. You will die at some point and your work will be released for public but same won't happen to machines.

> So if I'm under surveillance, that means I'm affected by copyright?

No. It just makes it easier to prove original sources.

The reason why I proposed my initial argument is simply for accountability and right to information.

I think his notes about performance miss the full picture. Obviously gzipped XML and JSON aren't going to cause network slowness, but I've been on big projects that use XML as a data interchange format and XML marshalling and unmarshalling with validation was a bottleneck in the system. We used JAXB and loading the hundreds and hundreds of schemas in JBoss was so expensive that they had to bump up the memory to 32 gb on our personal computers. In the end XML schema validation had to be turned off (removing the whole point of it). Also, this was Java which is compiled and obviously very fast. Can you imagine the same thing in PHP or Python? It would be impossible. I'd be curious if the author ever did a large XML project in a dynamic programming language. I seriously suspect not and these languages (PHP, Node, Python) are the most popular and productive languages in the world.

XML is good at some specific things, but as a general use data-interchange format it is dead as a doornail and there is no good reason to bring it back.

> incompatibility of this industry in its current form with a world in a climate crisis.

people will continue to want to fly. Climate crisis or not. I don't see, unless there's electric or hydrogen-fuel planes, how this can be resolved.
I've been going through this these past two weeks in Europe. I just need to do two short flights, one of them between two major cities. So far, it has cost me hundreds of dollars - ie, I've lost that much - and two dozen hours of lost time in phone calls, emails, and non-functioning websites and apps (of major airlines and subsidiaries). I currently have several hundred dollars in many cancelled flights apparently being refunded to me.

Almost every flight time gets either changed or the flight gets cancelled, and Airbnbs get cancelled left and right as well. All of this post-confirmation. Secondary effects of these cancellations are having to rearrange schedules of connecting flights or accomodations, and thereby losing money. It's been a (first-world problem) nightmare.

As of now, my first flight looks like it might actually happen, and I've given up on pre-purchasing my second flight, choosing instead to attempt to buy the connecting flight from the airport.
None of my gadgets or my job category existed in the 90s so I'm happy to call it objectively terrible personally.

Oh, everyone in school will have been taught concepts like past tense and pluralisation.

I wasn't telling them not to learn this, or at least that wasn't the intent. Learning for the sake of learning should never be discouraged, and I apologize if I came across that way! I was responding to this last sentence:

> It's just... sad to know enough that I produce less than optimal work but don't know enough to confidently prevent it from happening over and over and over again.

Basically, the notion that not knowing how to implement this means the resulting product is sub-optimal. My counter-argument is that delegating work that needs expert domain knowledge and skills to the experts and use the fruits of their labor will result in a better product.
