This looks interesting and I will definitely play with it, fortunately it's already in the Arch repositories. I must admit I immediately clicked "FAQ" expecting the first entry to be "How this project is different from ipython", since that's the obvious alternative that everyone has already heard of, but I didn't see anything.

Perhaps oddly, the reason why I almost always use the default Python shell is the following:

ipython -c ";" 0.68s user 0.08s system 96% cpu 0.783 total
bpython -c "" 0.72s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 0.800 total
pypy3 -c "" 0.11s user 0.06s system 91% cpu 0.188 total
python -c "" 0.03s user 0.00s system 98% cpu 0.035 total

I realize of course that this is stupid and irrational, that the time it takes to launch the interpreter is entirely negligible compared to the amount of time I'll spend working in it (e.g. wasting time having to insert spaces manually instead of having auto-indent), but there's something painful enough about the 0.8 second start time (on an SSD no less!) of these fancy interpreters that I almost always find myself going for standard Python.

I spend a lot of time teaching non-technical people to use software, and in my experience the two things aren't the same at all. These sorts of users aren't too aware of the invasive aspects of modern programs, but if told, they're against it. However, they already know software with lots of options has those options. They just don't understand most of the choices and are afraid to try any in case one changes state in a way they can't get back from. More options scare and confuse them and make it much harder for these people (the vast majority) to use modern tech.

To be clear, I don't like the Apple approach. I think the options should still exist--but they need to be far removed from the UI without significant, non-discoverable steps.

Where I live (a country in Europe) the second hand market allows you to buy and resell (assuming reasonably good care) for a very small loss (stroller, car seats, cot) - we've done it several times... (we have sold them for around 70%-80% of what we got them)

I had one child and then twins, so I felt like I was just dropped into this.

I was pretty shocked turning up with car seats at a Mercedes dealership to find we couldn't get three of them across an E class even without using ISOFIX. IIRC it was slightly exacerbated by two of them being seats for babies.

FWIW we went with a Volvo V70. We didn't want an MPV or SUV.

A good source of information for what is new in C++ versions: https://www.modernescpp.com/index.php/thebigfour

That article covers the big four new features:

- concepts

- modules

- coroutines

- ranges library
Pretty much every serious problem facing humanity in 2020 is the consequence of over-industrialization, but more specifically, over-consumerization. To conflate the two is to miss a fundamental point about modern consumer capitalism.

Virtually all of the "basic accomplishments" listed in the article add up to about 1% (a rough estimate) of the actual industrial output today. It's unclear to me how say, the mass apparel industry (clothes, shoes, etc.), which is about 10% of Co2 emissions, [1] could be considered "progress" or anything other than a massive consumerism disaster...and I say that as someone with a deep respect for the art and craft of fashion designers.

Now, you might say "we would never have these developments without mass industrialization and consumerism." Maybe, but I'm of the opinion that a pretty significant part of the modern economy is both frivolous and ecologically disastrous. Is it really "progress" to have IKEA disposable furniture at the cost of cutting down forests? Etc.

If I want full ownership of my data, meaning I don't want it managed/hosted by Snowflake, doesn't that mean that snowflake will reference my S3 bucket as an external table? How exactly am I going to be saving money? Snowflake will have to index my S3 bucket, most likely doing a poor job at doing so, all the while charging me for S3 requests just to create an index that I'm already maintaining. My company has strict contractual obligations regarding data de-identification that I have written code to securely index. We use S3 to store de-identified data and the index to query data we have in S3, meaning that we run no risk of our customer data being identified even if attackers acquired access to both the index & S3 bucket. Snowflake may not be trying to handle our use-case, but the corporate account executive spamming my inbox was dead certain that it was our panacea. I'm failing to see where they fit in and I'm glad that my manager listens to me. I also don't see the arguments that Snowflake is beneficial because it is cloud-agnostic. I can count the number of cloud-agnostic employers I've had over my career on 0 hands. If I can't set up Lambda triggers to puts to my S3 bucket, then snowflake is a hard no from me.

My argument would be something like: I don't care how much people are compensated if they made it fair and square.

Nothing in the financial markets has been fair or square for a very long time, at least since the 2008 bail outs.

I'm all for them having 600 yachts if they earned it if they also lose their shirts when it goes wrong. We have just set it up so they get a yacht if they win, and maybe a smaller yacht if they lose, and people are understandably angry about this.

But, it's a hard problem, because we have made our entire financial system a maze of smoke and mirrors and quite honestly I don't think anybody really knows how to unwind it, and the whole thing would come crashing down calamitously if we just forced it to happen. Blindly railing against the system is particularly unproductive in my opinion though and I think some number of social justice minded people take pride in not understanding it.
> > In all cases you should try

Yes, in all cases you should try to avoid nop loops, similarly like in high level applications you should try and avoid blocking IO in favor of non-blocking IO. And it does not only mean "avoid nop-loops in code". It also means design your thing in a way where random waits (nop loops are random waits) are unnecessary in the first place. Wait on readiness flag, use timers. Sometimes you have shitty hardware that either does not indicate readiness or indicates readiness falsely, happens. There definitely are situations where nop loops are the only sane available solution.

> using loops when execution time is known and constant

Um... Cortex and larger cores normally can run at multiple clock speeds (e.g. via PLL or clock multiplier config), so this speed is constant only as long as you do not change core clock configuration. Furthermore, if the core in question is even more advanced and employs dynamic PLL, nop-loop execution time is not constant.

> (like an Arduino)

Yes, if you run on small cores like ATmega this can be more or less true.

> It saves the effort of setting up interrupts, and they can be used with interrupts disabled.

Sure and that is one of the main advantages of nop-loops. However, unless you have all "userland" interrupts disabled (all except fault handlers), you run inherently concurrent code which by definition cannot have constant real world run time. To be fair, in the context of a bootloader application flow can be controlled and you can avoid most concurrency issues.

> Never use those when execution time is not guaranteed though

This is the core issue. Execution time is most probably not guaranteed. Nop loops can work during development, hobby project or when you need just a tiny little bit of delay and hardware sync is unavailable.
On one hand I agree with you, but I also think it's besides the point.

What you and I call it doesn't matter - for legal (and tax) purposes, bread with too much sugar stops being a "staple food" and becomes cake. It's just the way the law is written, and whether it's a good idea or not, it's common for tax laws to promote certain lifestyle choices like eating healthy or not smoking.

The business in the article tried to use a loophole to avoid taxes and got slapped down by another loophole.

With this, Java ranking on top 5 is quite impressive. Considering that JIT optimisations wouldn't have really kicked in. My hypothesis is that if the Java program was allowed to run a few more times, and then compared, it would rank higher.

And, along the lines, couldn't the other compiled languages and vm-based (common lisp, racket) be JIT optimised?

Web components can be built separately to the rest of an application as standalone components and included by adding a <script> tag, and then using them is as straightforward as using an HTML tag. You need a build process for the component (or the author of the component does..) but you don't need one for the website you're using it in. You can do that with a React component as well but you don't get the benefits of things like styled components if you do. You do with web components.
Every time school is mentioned on HN it is all how hell holes schools are. And how pandemic shown school is just about childcare (and childcare is bad thing).

Meanwhile, back here in real world, my kids were super happy to return back to school. Their friends were super happy to return back to school. They look forward friends and they also prefer learning in school over learning at home.

Meanwhile, I as parent found out that school teaches kids better then I did, that the lessons were about more then I realized when looking at them.

And it is not like our local school was super top heavily praised one. It is one of those ordinary average ones in system that objectively struggles.

The good parts are also the newer parts. They were added because they make programming better. C++20 is more fun to program in than 17, which was better than 14, which was better than 11.

That said, the one thing that makes C++ better than other languages is the destructor. You can see everything else added since as making destructors more useful.

This is why I think it is trite to go on saying "if you're not paying, you are the product."

On paper, sure. You are right. Free makes any business model other than surveillance capitalism less viable (though I definitely would not say impossible).

In reality, "surveillance capitalism" is the most profitable regardless. So, even if we pay, we still get surveillance. The trope just lets the finger be pointed at the public, instead of at whoever is doing the surveillance. Even if you could get most people to prefer paid to free (you can't), it wouldn't do anything to mitigate surveillance in reality.

Just because paying enables nonsurveillance in theory, doesn't mean that it will actually result in non-surveillance in reality. In fact, it probably won't.

By what criteria are you judging that they are over-compensated? The judgment seems entirely arbitrary and emotionally motivated.

Assuming a free market, if they're earning huge amounts, it means they're unlocking subtantial new efficiency gains, which has significant positive externalities. The large profits in turn are inviting additional time and capital to be deployed into the investment activity that hedge funds engage in, to further exploit this profit opportunity, and thereby, raise the efficiency of the economy.

One argument I could buy is that they are capturing more value than they should because regulations are limiting the competition they face.

>>The law has also inflated the compensation of hedge fund workers—roughly $500,000 on average—by restricting competition. Mutual funds—which charge tiny fees by comparison—are currently barred from using hedge fund strategies because they have non-rich investors. If the law was changed to allow mutual funds to offer hedge fund portfolios, hundreds of billions of dollars would be transferred annually from super-rich hedge fund managers and investment bankers to ordinary investors, and even low-income workers with retirement plans. A House committee recently approved a bill that would slightly ease the accredited investor rule. Even if it became law, the bill would be a modest step—but at least one in the right direction.

"it does not work in real life" What makes you assert so? Our experiences and the acceleration of climate changes shouldn't make us too assertive or negative, but rather humble and devoted to help the environment. It's a huge optimization problem, small gains are big gains. The average person lifestyle is quite a nonsense: an electric toothbrush+razor+vacuum cleaner and many other unnecessary devices, cosmetic products/makeup wrapped in plastics, a car and house with air conditioning, pets(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_food#cite_note-8), plane travels for holidays, 500kg of trash per year. All this should be optimized, from the smallest to the largest sources of pollution. I started with myself: I don't do any of the things listed above, my yearly garbage is 10 empty plastics bags of rice, and a few soap bars, toothpaste, bike tubes wrappings.

I've been happy with a "Compact MPV" (which I think is what the class is called). Currently Toyota Verso, previously VW Touran. Both fit 3 child seats in the rear. But it seems the compact MPV class is on its way out (e.g. Toyota doesn't produce the Verso anymore), everybody for some unexplainable reason wants a SUV nowadays.

Sugar is a perfectly fine part of a lot of foods. All the kinds of cakes for example. But for this kind of foods, you would know that it is a sugary food. What I get more and more angry about is the tendency of the food industry to put sugar into almost any food to sell more. This isn't only somewhat shady and detrimental to our food culture, but most of all a danger to public health. Overeating of sugar has been linked to many health concerns beyond obviously, getting fat. I fully support any food regulations, which require labelling the sugar content and prevent to use food type names which usually suggest no sugar content. In this case, collecting tax breaks for "bread". Call it "sweet bread" and pay the normal taxes, and everyone is happy. It would also be a servicd to your customers to tell them, that you are not serving them "bread". They have a right to know.

As a side note: beyond any possible health concerns, we have wonderful traditional foods, which can be made without any fancy ingredients. Bread, beer, pasta, so many more. Done well, they are absolutely delicious. It always makes me sad, if they get perverted by industry adding stuff which doesn't belong into those foods for a quick sell. I am not against innovation. Put any new ingredient into your product, but don't claim it is any of the traditional foods. There is nothing wrong with "sweet bread" for example, unless it tries to hide the sugar.
