My wishlist:

* Integration with numpy/scipy/matplotlib/etc.

* Integration with Python Mode for Processing

* Integration with either the Arduino or the Micro:bit ecosystem

* Integration with Pygame Zero (so there are smooth, documented ways to transition -- low floor/high ceiling, rather than two modes of working)

* Eventually, integration and wrapping of OpenCV

In other words, Pygame would benefit from integrating with the broader ecosystem one might wish to use to teach kids to code. Writing games involves a lot of math, image processing, and similar, and 2020 computers are fast enough kids can do that without writing optimized assembly. It's nice if games can be physically embedded (Arduino/Micro:bit).

Right now, there's a collection of projects, but they don't play well together. The level of contortions one must go through to move a sprite from being a numpy array to an image in whatever library, to an image in another library, is well beyond what most kids (or even teachers) can handle.

Parent referred to int64. BigInt and int64 are not the same thing.

JS doesn't have integers; all numbers are represented as doubles. One of the reasons having actual integers is important is performance, as integer operations are often faster than floating point operations. BigInt doesn't help with that.

I read on HN a month or two ago that burnout is associated with repeat large scale failures, and the way to recover from burnout is to have repeat small scale success.

Games, such as factorio, can provide you with the small scale successes relatively risk free, allowing you to recover from burnout.

If you consider this from the functional perspective, then it becomes yet another useful tool to the developer.

But they are a Sony first party game studio which means they have a lot of experience to gain regarding the PC platform which is more diverse than a console and requires an even more extensive testing setups.

Also, a lot of these kind of games are also highly driven by art style. Which is really hard to capture in automated test suites. Add to that the complexity of a 3D world and all its interactions and associated math.

Taiwan is the exemplar of covid response.

They were burned by the previous SARS outbreak, so they put the legal and and administrative framework in place to deal with this one ahead of time. They also got serious about surveillance of diseases originating in China, as the CCP has a record of being deceptive or inept in this regard.

So, they were the first nation to shut down travel from China (end of Dec), and to institute quarantine of travelers. They also activated their pre prepared plan.

Even so, it took 4 months of concerted action to eradicate covid, and continued effort to avoid new outbreaks.

This is a best case scenario for this approach. An island nation with a pre prepared plan and with good intelligence that allowed them to act soon enough.

Without the early insight provided by their surveillance, activating their plan would not have worked, or would have likely taken significantly longer. If they had listened to the WHO, it would have been too late.

If a typical potential customer pays for 2 of these streaming services for the unique content and at any given time is only using one of them to its limit after having shared with family and friends then you have the entire extra subscription as surplus value to be captured. $9/mo per household across much of the developed world with minimal infrastructure costs could fund a cat and mouse game for a long time.

also, there's so many django specific libraries out there, that if you need something (like, stripe support), you can just "pip install" it.

I’m not sure how to interpret this. Are you saying they indoctrinate kids? Do they exist to teach kids __how__ to think or __what__ to think?

Which current failures are they fighting?

As to my previous comment about “grifters”, I’ll admit that was too cynical and over the top. I don’t think individual teachers are. However, their unions are pretty close.
I can't really relate to the article's description of episodic memory. I'm also aphantastic. I wonder if there is a correlation or if it's just coincidence.

These things are surprisingly little studied, for example aphantasia has only really seen scientific interest in the last ten years. We all seem to assume that everyone's experience is the same as ours, only slowly discovering how untrue that really is. Even something "obvious" like colour blindness in only known for about 250 years.

Facebook wouldn't be so powerful if switching means of communication was so easy.

It is possible, but email doesn't offer real time communication, phone calls can be expensive, and not everyone knows how or wants to use zoom. Getting the family, including both grandma and kids to switch is hard "why isn't it working like it did before?".

And BTW, to Facebook, Google and everyone else. Stop messing with the fucking UI. For most of us, keeping up with redesigns is often just a minor annoyance. But to older non-technical people, it is awful.

Absolutely. There's no way anybody could hand-test all of Factorio. Certainly you could play it and find bugs, but to deliberately test every single feature on any kind of regular schedule would be incredibly tedious and error prone.

>The reason for which I want to build my web stuff on Rust is safety.

Any GC language (Java e.g.) will give you that if you don't use C extensions.

And if you do use them Rust wont fair any better (or if you use libraries that use unsafe).
You might be surprised by just how slow and bloated a simple rails or Django app can be!

But the real benefit for me is reliability. With rust web apps, I feel a lot more confident that runtime errors have been properly handled. And of course you save some productivity because the type system means you don’t need to smother your code in unit tests like one normally does when they want to demonstrate their python or ruby code works.
Heh, good point. In my last sentence I was thinking about web apps running in browsers, not about Electron (but of course there's a lot of overlap).

For native applications, maybe a better idea is to drive the UI with native code, and use WASM to run "untrusted" external code (for instance extensions/plugins), because a WASM runtime is a lot smaller than a complete browser engine like Electron.
Getting a Fastmail was my first step toward de-googling myself. Have been super happy with them. They are really stirring email in the right direction. Their effort on JMAP is also very much appreciated.
I do agree that employing arrests as a tactic is exclusive (although here people aren't left to themselves to cover legal fees), but it must also be said that this that XR has a wide range of roles and types actions to participate in that do not involve getting arrested.

Those first two paragraphs strongly depend on the location, in particular the situation wrt. police. Many countries (certainly mine, the Netherlands) do respect the right to protest and employ the police to facilitate and protect these rather than to 'put down all protests'.

When activists seek the limits of these protections, e.g. with blockades, I think it's right that they seek to find the way to be most effective, which can involve negotiating with authorities or choosing not to pick certian battles. Case in point, Amsterdam has employed 'bestuurlijke verplaatsing' (stuffing people in to buses rather than arresting), which is legally iffy but it's a) less work for authorities and b) much better than getting properly arrested. A status quo that allows more inclusive mass actions.

Notice the Modern Maximum starting around ~1800 which is also when all the graphs of global warming show increases; whereas normally the industrial revolution is blamed.

Maunder minimum -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

Medieval maximum -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period though our data is far less clear about that period of time.

Fundamentally, you can look at this graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record#/m...

The climate warms and cools quite regularly. The Earth warmed 6 celcius over the last 20,000 years without our help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eemian about 115,000 years ago it was 1-2 celcius warmer. Which is roughly what is currently being predicted as part of climate change by 2100.
History of the Halloween Costume
It's not just memory safety. I've had so many misadventures with JavaScript (and I'm part of the team that writes the Firefox JavaScript VM, so I'm supposed to know better) or Python, for instance, that the simple idea of maintaining an application written in either language brings me down.

I fully realize that some people love these languages. I've written pretty sophisticated applications in these languages myself (including video games), and they're definitely great for exploring ideas. But at this stage of my career, for applications that matter to me, I value the time spent maintaining code more than the time spent writing it, and I find that the balance that works best for me is to use a strongly, statically-typed language such as Rust.

YMMV

How does black magic work?
I’d be surprised, given that one of the big arguments for using Electron is that you get to write it in JS.

If you write Rust for WASM you could just use a native UI framework and target that instead!
But the article states no eating and no drinking as fasting so it also involves deliberate dehydrating.

Any GC language will help, indeed. But there is much, much more to safety than deallocating memory.
It's very hard to track where all the satellites are. Military satellites generally have manoeuvre capability so keeping track of them can be quite challenging.

Also launching an anti-sat missile is a comparable problem to launching a satellite into the target orbit. A bit cheaper, but within an order of magnitude. That makes high orbit satellites, particularly in GEO very expensive and time consuming to target.

Put it this way, the US and Russia have had decades to put up all their satellites. You're not going to do enough launches to take all of that out in a few weeks, or even months.

I think that it is quite likely that the laptop was planted, the whole acquisition story is fake, and this is an orchestrated campaign optimized for maximum impact. I am not an idiot.

However, the contents of the laptop (emails and pictures — at least some of them) were corroborated by multiple sources. Their timings agree with the events of Ukraine affair, which led to Trump’s impeachment proceedings. I can’t say anything about the laptop; perhaps it was planted by the Russian intelligence or Trump campaign spinners. However, its contents looks real to me.

> serious about building product consider working at Google

my view is that if you're serious about "building product", then you wouldnt work at google, or Facebook, or for anyone else. You would build and run something yourself.

If you like the "building" part but are indifferent about "product" then somewhere like Google seems great.
Most of them are probably upset about all the other stuff google got rid of that people actually used.
Printing is a horrible experience these days. Even in a managed office environment, you're not safe from all the rough edges.

- Drivers. Why does this still feel so difficult? Just define a public bytecode API (no, not PS) and be done with this already.

- Ink, paper, etc. Even if you shell out $Texas for a laser printer, you still have to manage paper and then it's probably not any good for photos (probably the only thing I want to print).

- Protocol/tech stack straight out of the Old World. Cloud Print seemed like the Dropbox to printing's SMB. Proprietary but less terrible.

- The waiting for anything to happen. If I have to go to the trouble of using your proprietary driver to do anything, can't the printer at least leverage more of the host computer to speed things up?

The whole process feels only slightly less finicky than using a 3D printer.

Privilege is something good, unequally (and/or unjustly) distributed. Rights are something good that should be afforded to everyone. So there is a lot of overlap but also distinction.

Rights are an ideal, privileges are a material reality.
The entire point of patent and copyright is (in the US): "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."

So it's government granting specific rights over intellectual items not the items themselves.

The name is confusing, it's rights granted over intellectual property ("writings and discoveries") to encourage the creators to share them for the common good.
While true the middlemen often are more visible than rights holders. And some are big enough to push back on DRM as Apple did with music.
Greenwald published his email exchange with his editor. He brought up his contractual right to publish elsewhere if he likes, in his first response to his editor. He started accusing them of censorship in the second email (which he sent after the first before he got a reply back). WHen they did respond, they said it would be "harmful and detrimental to The Intercept" if he published it elsewhere. Glenn can call that a "lawyer crafted threat", I see it as a true and accurate statement from his editor.

Guess what I'm saying is, he didn't receive a message from the company's lawyers that I've seen yet.

The things that make Docs and Sheets and such attractive aren't really the ability to create and edit documents -- we all have perfectly adequate versions of that on our laptops and desktops already -- so much as the availability of those documents on a shareable networked infrastructure. "Here's the URL to see my doc, here's the URL to edit the same copy in place" are the most powerful features.

If, say, Backblaze or Dropbox wanted to put a higher-value service on top of their storage infrastructure, I think that would be a good way to go.
