AFAIR it depends not on physical country you're in, but on Accept-Language sent by your browser. You can edit your browser's preferred langs and you'll get a different suggestions of languages. I saw it explained (maybe even here on HN) by someone from Netflix as "it's a feature™ to prevent having too long list of languages in UI".

This is another great point. When the employer controls benefits, they choose an average/bulk/bundled solution which may not cater to the needs of all employees. It is improbable to be completely inclusive. Better to give every employee a static dollar amount and let them choose exactly what works for them from a competitive marketplace.

In my opinion, we should do whatever maximizes product-market fit.
Is this trip really necessary?

It's a good read, but mostly states the obvious.

One real question - which plane makers will survive? Unless air travel rises to higher levels than before the epidemic, there are enough spare aircraft around for a few years of no new purchases. COMAC will be supplying the China market soon, along with their client states. Airbus is subsidized. Boeing might not make it.

An employer would LOVE to have a 300x engineer on board.

I mean take someone like Martin Fowler who wrote a number of highly influential book and a great website. Every time you look for him, you'll find his company or employer, ThoughtWorks. He and his work have put that company on the map as one of the top consultancy firms; he and his work educate everyone that works for that company, they follow his teachings and mindset, and become "10x" because of it.

Companies would be DESPERATE to hire him. Maybe not the kind of employers you think of, no, and maybe you wouldn't hire him for his 'output', but that's a very superficial way to look at it.

Flutter is an example you can have efficient AOT compilation while not sacrificing ability to hot reload during development.

The tooling is not here yet. But there are drawbacks to using web and flutter is already promising. Any progress in this field should be welcomed by us.
This is the core argument of the detractors. They say they -XLinearTypes isn't Enough. They want a Big Bang. But it was already very hard work to get this incremental step. A Big Bang is even more work. And the detractors don't have a semblance of an alternative :/ but that hasn't stopped thousands of words of FUD from being spilled online.
Perhaps it is just about the features I personally use, but I find generally Python releases are mostly cosmetic. Big changes are included, but don’t drive the changes.

2 -> 3 was mostly about Unicode and print being a function. There was a ton of operational improvements, but none of them were breaking changes that warranted a change.

Type hints are cute, but as other remarked, they are glorified comments. Mypy worked without them in 2.x . Not saying it’s bad to have them, but that it is cosmetic.

From my point of view, the major improvements are on side tracks:
- multicore support via sub interpreters (multiprocessing et al is clumsy and awful on Windows)
- some modicum of static safety; like constants and declaring new variables to help with typos.

You might say that these don’t fit in with Python, but I disagree. It would genuinely be a better language, in particular for its current use cases.

But no, Unicode and fancier comments / annotations it is.

Some of the other comments address this. The problem is that we see and hear about these extreme viewpoints from people who are very loud and vocal. But we are not seeing or hearing anything from the vast majority of people which causes 2 problems
1. More and more of these platforms are driven by the extremists
2. There is less and less chance of actual debate and discussion with people of opposing views as anyone who you could have a discussion with is not engaging.

Mostly just making sure I looked like I was doing something whenever I knew I was within view of the lab manager. I also avoided my desk between tasks since it was close to said manager. Although I did useful things when at my desk I got the impression it looked like I wasn't occupied, so I just hid elsewhere to check my calculations and do other computer work I could get done on a phone instead.
Oh noes, what if advertisers chose to spend money on the most demographically effective groups and not in a way that reflected our social justice agenda?! That would be almost like self determination on their part rather than bowing to what we consider appropriate. Cant have that.
When I moved to the US one of the biggest problems I had was listening. It was hard for me to keep conversations going with colleagues, because It was hard for me to understand. I used to go every Friday to Blockbuster and rent movies which I listened with english subs. Then I ended up watching Godfather II every other week and it definitely helped.
Mood; right now I have 6 published posts on my personal blog (hosted on github) spanning 5+ years, as well as a couple on my old company blog, but honestly there's a big hurdle to go from shitposting on the internet to publishing posts.

I do see blogposts as a stepping stone to writing books though.

Anyway I've written thousands if not tens of comments all over the internet, but I also have massive impostor syndrome so I never really look back to see if said comments were appreciated or educational.

I've also been fairly active on the Go slack channel, but very much from a beginner's mindset. 10+ years of software development and I still feel like I'm feeling my way around in the dark.

I've got tons of material to write about though, I really should set aside a couple hours to put things down. I feel like that would be a possible way forwards.

But at the same time I'm pretty terrified of being called out for being wrong; not only because it's confrontational, but because I would have to amend or retire my posts. Call me weird but it's giving me a lot of anxiety.

But, I should probably just bite the bullet and go for it, it'll be a way to improve my confidence and advance in my career, because that's been stuck for a while.

I should look into blogging platforms that are like Twitter, but for longer posts. But not full length ones. IDK
Conspiracies come from low trust and a feeling of inferiority for different reasons. Problem is that some conspiracies are true and some are even pushed by authoritative news sources.

One conspiracy is certainly that the perspective of flat-earthers matters and should be addressed in any way. Same, with anti-vaxxers. We had vaccination quotas of 96% and as soon as people wanted to force others to vaccinate, it dropped considerably. Reactionary? Perhaps, but perfectly understandable.
I was forced to choose a third foreign language back in school. I ended up with Latin (bad idea btw, completely useless), so I had my usual German lessons (native language), English lessons (since 5th grade) and Latin (6th grade).

When you constantly switch between those languages in terms of grammar, you realize how different those languages are. I didn't realize that in the beginning and I still have a habit of translating sayings from German into English that just don't make any actual sense.

If you really want to learn a language, you need to learn the grammar, even if it isn't any fun.

One way to understand these trends, Aboulafia told me, is through the industry’s most beloved metric: the seat mile. If a plane with 300 available seats flies 1,000 miles, that flight clocks up 300,000 seat miles. Airlines are constantly comparing revenue per available seat mile, or Rasm, with cost per available seat mile, or Casm. Aboulafia, pronouncing these terms as “razzum” and “cazzum”, said: “As long as razzum is a nose above cazzum, you’re happy.”

If you're an Italian speaker, this can be very funny and ironic.

Thanks for the link. Makes sense that if Fish doesn't fork itself and isn't multi-threaded then that would be a difficult feature to implement. I had the same consideration right at the conception of my project: fork or multi-thread? I went with the latter. But my shell diverges quite a bit from the typical design a shell would take so there's a lot of reasons it's sub-optimal compared to the excellent work the Fish guys have done with their shell.
I'm not sure what do you mean by "type-hint to an object that doesn't exist"?

The objects are not type-hinted; variables are. A variable in Python will always have a value (because it's just a label on a value, not a container), and that value will always be an object, and objects in Python always have a type.

If you mean that you are passing a variable that can have a value of None, this is what Optional[<type>] is for... Or maybe I'm missing something -- can you give an example?
A Potential Downside of Intermittent Fasting
Hindu nationalism is certainly way different, it is an umbrella term that encompasses all Indic cultures, tradition and systems that have evolved for thousands of years.

This is against a mostly one book, one god/no god, one agenda and one power centre ideology being enforced on the people - Marxism, Christianity, Islam, "Atheism", "Feminism"

Especially in a country with a million gods and small unique communities, it falls on the government to protect them from ideologies with a track record for violence and genocide.
NVDA on Windows. Orca does not have high-quality voice for my language as far as I know and that renders it unusable for day-to-day usage.

Keep in mind that screen reader and voices for it are different components that could be mixed. Both could be instructed to treat unicodes in whatever manner necessary, but it is labor intensive and euristics usually has some dubious results.

> 2) Started getting good consulting projects 3) Started getting Royalties(Passive income)

Yes, I think technical books are a great marketing asset when you're a consultant / freelancer. It gives you a ton of credibility, more so than one more project to your cv / portfolio. Plus, as a bonus, it provides a few royalties. It's a good way to stand out, too: "Do you have a business card so that I put it with all the other business cards I got today and will forget as soon as I get back home?" "No, Mr. Prospect, but let me give you that book I wrote, you'll enjoy it, and you have my contact info on the first page".

Rather than a potential source of passive income, I tend to see it as a marketing tool that has a very low to negative cost. Seen that way, most of your cons aren't that bad.

If I were a freelancer / consultant, I would definitely write books.

This is terribly hollow and baseless.

The usual explanation is that younger people, especially small children, can pick up languages without explicit knowledge of the grammar better than older people can. There's some controversy about whether there is a narrow age range after which it becomes difficult or impossible to acquire native-level proficiency through immersion or whether the decline in that ability is gradual [0]. But there's a pretty strong consensus that there is a decline for almost everyone.

While adults can learn second languages, very few can just pick up the grammar as they did with their native languages as children. For most adults, if we want to learn how to speak and write a second language with reasonable accuracy, we have to study the grammar explicitly. Practicing in immersive situations also helps a lot, of course.

In languages like Java, C#, F#, it is quite easy to have a lint check that gives a compiler error when an IAutoCloseable or IDisposable isn't used with a try/using block, just like RAII, with a bit of static analysis help.

When I was coming back to Denmark I did some reading on academic studies related to relearning languages, one study I found said that if someone has spoken a language for 8 years (or the first 8 years of their life as it was focused on childhood language being relearned in adulthood) then they will never lose that language - unfortunately I spoke Danish the first 6 years of my life and when I came back I started to remember German which occupied the part of my mind focused on non-English language.
Very amusing except for your connection troubles.

I also had intermittent disconnection issues with the same ISP that they fobbed off with "maybe your WiFI is bad/has interference" or "you may be running other processes that are saturating the network connection". I had no devices with ethernet ports so I bought a USB ethernet adapter, booted up a barebones linux dist, ran a script that tried to connect to an upstream server, plotted a graph (which showed a disconnection every 20 minutes) and presented that to them. To their credit they admitted there was a problem and moved my microwave antenna to another tower. (For all I know the former tower still has that issue)
The rational argument is: we don't want to live in a society where the private is potentially intruded by other outside actors, because in our notion of liberty the individual shall be able to live a life without having to fear these intrusions.

Whether this fear is rational doesn't matter. Whether these intrusions are never actually carried out and always only remain a faint possibility, a story the actors make you believe doesn't matter.
This is exactly why it won't work, according to the UBI "vision" that is usually promoted. There is no way that people who think UBI is a good idea, would also allow the recipients to blow their UBI on dumb stuff and end up on the street. In practice, it would just be a re-branding of the existing system of benefits, with a few more hangers-on.

How to not get lost while job-hunting
Yes, the left is a broad spectrum with many varied positions within it. But this article is about the very specific phenomenon of people feeling they can't express their views on social media, and the number one reason for that by far is the very specific slice of the left that viciously attacks anyone who publicly deviates from their very specific set of acceptable policy issues.

The people on the receiving end may well be on the equally amorphous right, or they may be more classical leftists who are more concerned with workers and unions than identity politics, it doesn't really matter. In the end cancel culture is not, in fact, a bipartisan thing - it is virtually always about the same small set of topics and the same people with the same views doing the cancelling.

It's a serious issue, which is why we are seeing more and more discussions of it. It would be great to celebrate that which we have in common, and I'd love to see more of that, but ultimately it's hard to celebrate differences when those differences are being used as justification for "cancellation", something which can have a very negative consequences for those concerned. The whole problem is people who don't respectfully disagree and use rhetoric comparing disagreement to physical violence as a justification.
That is why we cannot have nice things, when those pushing their ideas don't have an hard skin to fight against those kind of issues.

Though job. :\
