We can't control most of those things, since they are already established and institutionalized and very difficult to change. However during the transition from buying to renting clothes, we do have an opportunity to influence the outcome.

You're right that the terminology of "freedom" and "captivity" is weird...I've always thought it's strange because historically it's been so relative. But I think quibbling over where to draw the line is missing the point, and basically has the same problem as what you're decrying. When we have the power to influence the outcome of something, we shouldn't resign in despair because we can't cleanly classify it...we can still make informed decisions under that uncertainty.
How to Visualize a Matrix [pdf]
It's not wrong, but it's backwards looking.

They aren't addressing the root problem, which is "internet cameras everywhere", and the answer is to figure out how to work with that reality, not to turn the clock back to 1975.

The solution will involve doing a forward-looking envisioning of a mass-camera society where rights are respected. Not something I'll be able to invent on the fly in a HN comment, sorry. :)
Does this elevate the future possibilities of Pyright in any way?
The trend is in fact not up in North America; the last time I checked, it was slightly down. The paper we're commenting on also has some grim stats in it.

Nobody is debating whether DNSSEC addresses this attack --- it does, for server-to-server connections. But DNSSEC is an extremely expensive way to stop this attack, and because there are cheaper ways that don't require collaboration between unrelated parties on the Internet, those are the mitigations --- ICMP policy changes, 0x20 encoding, DNS cookies, etc --- that will happen.

Same for Clojure.
A lot of comments are claiming this study shows that exercise is good for your health. Though I generally agree with that premise, that is NOT what the results of this study show. The abstract and visual abstract clearly state this.

- The RCT was done only on individuals aged 70-77

- Furthermore the results were not statistically significant at p < 0.05. You can see this in the visual abstract where the 95% CI overlaps with risk ratio = 1.0, where 1.0 means "no difference" between the groups.

Note that the results being non-stat sig does not mean that there was no difference! It means that the difference, if present, was probably too small to detect given the power (number of participants) included in the study. This is important to understand!

Furthermore, in the "Strengths and limitations of this study" they clearly outline some reasons why the results may have been non stat-sig, including:

- "Firstly, participants in the control group had a high level of activity throughout the study, and many exercised using HIIT. This might have affected the study’s ability to detect statistically significant differences between groups."

- "selection bias might have influenced our results, as participants were more active and had better overall health than non-included participants"

Basically, even the "control" group looked like they had a good baseline level of activity, decreasing the activity level difference between that and the two treatment groups.

My takeaway from this study is that in isolation, it doesn't provide much evidence for or against the effect of exercise, but taken together with other studies can be used for evidential value.

The results can also be used to inform future studies. The authors clearly understood this when they stated in the main measure outcome: "An exploratory hypothesis was that HIIT lowers mortality more than MICT."
Is that bad? Are we so incapable of taking the long view that we require artists to produce on a yearly cycle? Is any game that doesn't release by Christmas a failure?
>The easiest opportunity in the US would have been to dress up the HOV and Express lanes and use them.

These are in very limited areas. An autonomous vehicle that can only drive in these lanes will be autonomous a small portion of the time.

>What needs to be done is force standardization of road markings and signaling and correct it where it is not compliant.

Maybe it's different where you are but road marking and maintenance, especially as you get into secondary roads, can be rather haphazard. This is not going to change markedly so that people can use autonomous vehicles.

I don't think it was that disappointing. All it says it that the difference between elderly high-intensity and medium-intensity training is very little, and not statistically significant. Same with both combined compared to an elderly control group that is (I think) also physically active.

If you were to compare these groups to physically inactive groups I'm sure you would have seen quite a big difference.
An official package manager with great dependency resolution would be fantastic. Or over take pipenv or poetry and sponsor it through Microsoft $$$.

The biggest hurdle to python right now is the stupid package managers. We need cargo for Python.

Finances will support, space is something I lack. I do not agree to raise a dog in a limited apartment, a dog needs his own yard.
My 2011 Honda Fit is in a similar boat. I have no need or desire to deal with the hassle of replacing the integrated stereo system (god, I miss being able to just unclip the crappy stock tape deck and plug/slide in a slightly better one with a CD player), much less replace the car.

When phone makers all decided to ditch the headphone jack, I wanted to still be able to charge the phone while also streaming music/podcasts and hearing nav over the speakers. Picked up a cheap Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the aux-in and went back to playing my personal music library from Google Music while on the road.

I'm not a "millenial" as I'm rapidly approaching my mid-40s. I don't want more subscriptions to streaming services, but I did love the convenience of easy access to my backed up music.

On one hand, I try to be realistic with things like this and with Google Photos. It's shitty when you find something that really works well and doesn't cost extra. But I also understand that by virtue of not having an easy drop-in replacement for free (or cheaper than similar offerings from Amazon, Apple, etc) there is certainly value in such services. Value implies a cost and I'm not surprised when an eventual price tag shows up.

My gripe is partly (admittedly) that I'd become spoiled by the free service, and partly that these things are only free for as long as they serve some other purpose--whether that is training photo algorithms, rapidly growing a userbase, or just having a product to compete in a market. When they go away, it makes me feel like I fell for something, even though I was already getting something for (nominally) nothing. It's not logical and I'm still working out my opinion on these sorts of things.
No matter where you stand on a number line it is always possible to look to the left and say "that direction is negative."
The issue is about the kind of use. What do we mean by "people using it"? If we are talking about exploitation, then the license prohibits it. If we are talking about experimentation, the license allows it within certain limits. A bespoke license is indeed required if you need to do something more advanced. Suggestions are more than welcome on how to avoid this.

> Why jquery though? Is it even being maintained anymore?

I see they're pushing one release a year. Last release was in April/May.

I hope it's being maintained.

At this point, I view jQuery as a foundational library.

I know newer versions of HTML and browser APIs are replacing some of the need for jQuery. But its ergonomics are universally understood. For me that's as important as the APIs themselves.

And I don't trust browser vendors to maintain uniformity long-term. Too many egos involved.

I hope jQuery never dies.
Ya, there could be so many use cases for this thing.

I thought of some evil ones, like I know some people at my company that would love to be able to browse an employees past browsing history at their convenience.

It doesn't really need to be "offline" for that to work, but I can see that playing into calling it a security procedure rather than blatant overstepping.

You can't use cash. Guaranteed housing, a universal food stamp program that doesn't suck — there are ways we can give everyone a fixed amount of additional value without injecting extra money into the economy and seeing inflation happen. After all, a grocery store can raise its prices on customers, but when it has to hand its food stamp receipts to the state for reimbursement, the state can ensure that prices don't rise for the consumer while subsidizing as needed.

As far as real cash payouts go, there's value to them, but not universally. In order to have the maximum impact they need to be limited to people with little to no other income.
Google Play Music worked perfectly well for me, and I used it as a Spotify alternative, not even for the music library features.

The switch to YouTube Music has been terrible.

Dead simple things don't work: my son would listen to a specific white noise track at night over his Google Home Mini.

Previously, we could tell it to play the song, then say "repeat on" and it would repeat indefinitely until he woke up and turned it off.

YouTube Music simply doesn't work repeating over a speaker.

What's even more maddening: I can repeat a song indefinitely on the Android app, but once I cast to the Mini, THE OPTION TO LOOP IS CANCELLED AND DISAPPEARS.

The only solution: I had to make a playlist that plays the same song for hours.

From what I've read, it seems to me like this shift to YouTube Music is primarily a licensing issue. Rather than pay for streaming rights to music tracks, Google seems to be using the library of music it has on YouTube to retroactively backdoor a streaming service that plays the YouTube videos without the video.

I suspect the repeat restrictions are a side-effect of this, somehow.

I would switch to Spotify (and may still do so) but I'd still be held hostage to pay YouTube the same price to run without ads (the primary reason I bought the package in the first place), so my choice is to switch to Spotify and make my kids watch YouTube ads, or pay double.

RIP Google Music indeed

If you use uBlock Origin with the annoyances filter you don't see any of that. As far as cookies, you can just use something like Vanilla cookie that will clear them outside of the one's you want to keep. Unfortunately the browsers dont let them clear the other storages, but at least you wont have the cookies following you.

I think IBM mainframes do something like this. Software is distributed as bytecode, and then compiled to machine code to CPU-specific assembly.

Funny, I've just checked those comments and again, a bunch of people agreeing with me. Are you wearing your "I can only see comments that back my biases" glasses?

To me, it's clear that some people love DI. SOME. Use it if you want. I don't want to. Stop dictating what's "good" code to experienced developers.

If it helps you, fine, but it hinders me.
All of them. Preferably with a 600dpi scan of each artwork.
Retirement has always sounded boring anyways. Congrats to Guido, I wonder what he will be working on specifically. Python could be improved on Windows, even simple cases don't work quite as expected always. I would expect Python is used decently widely at MS anyways. Maybe Python being first class on .NET? Or some Python specific things for Azure.
right, because masks are performative. that's why you see them so much out in public where they do little, but not much in private spaces where they could help in specific instances.

that limited context is when two people are facing each other, one infected, in relatively calm air, and within direct exhaust inhalation distance (~1m/3ft). yet we've been sold by the political media machine that they prevent spread everywhere, so "just wear a mask!" it's become the #1 policy prescription all over the world, because it's seen as doing something visible (political win) but not too much (more political win!).

distancing among non-household members when indoors is a much better first mitigation, but it keeps getting lumped in with masks (and the even less useful hand-washing/sanitizing) and drowned out because it's not as visibly performative. if the virus doesn't land on mucus membranes it's overwhelmingly likely to die.
If this includes improving dependency and runtime version management, I'm pumped. It's been a couple of years since I've used python, but those two things seemed like such warts compared to the rest of the experience.
If you're looking for that specifically and weren't aware of it already, there's a ton of old videogame OSTs archived on KHinsider.
I remember when Intel simultaneously released the first x86, 286, and 386 CPUs all on the same day. What exciting times it was!

Apple released a killer low end SOC in the M1. It contains the highest performance single core processor in the world along with high end multi core performance. But it’s limited to 16Gb and two USB4/Thunderbolt ports, so it’s targeted at the low end.

When the M2 is released mid next year, it will be even faster, support four USB4/Thunderbolt ports and will also come in 32Gb and 64Gb versions.

Greatness takes a small wait sometimes.
Virgin Hyperloop Has Invented the World’s Crappiest High-Speed Rail
Page 150 of "Clean Code" says this about the DIP: "In essence, the DIP says that our classes should depend upon abstractions, not concrete details". This is very similar to pretty much any canonical definition you can find anywhere else. I'm quoting it here because the person who coined the principle is the same person whose name is on the book, so I am guessing his definition is correct.

If you're not using abstractions, you are not using the DIP. What is being described here with low-level modules depending on high-level modules is categorically not the DIP, and I am starting to wonder if this is perhaps part of the frustration that the poster we're replying to has experienced with DI, since turning your coupling upside down will have the same problems as just high coupling in general, except everything is upside down now and harder to read :)

Van Rossum is famous for the Python language and language-related stuff for Python, but he did stuff in his career before inventing it and has done stuff since (for instance, a lot of his work at Google was on App Engine).
> even compared to Python’s (which, in turn, is poor compared to Rust/Ruby/…)

Compared to Rust? Sure. Compared to Ruby? Maybe in the way that a lockfile isn't automatically generated when using pip.

Hating on Python's dependency management is a meme at this point. You could do a lot worse than the current pip + venv, and upgrading to something like poetry or pipenv is pretty painless. I'm pretty sure 99% of problems occur because people don't pin stuff.
> at least two big dependencies

Awk (a fraction of busybox’s 2.1 MBs) is a “big dependency”‽ Or maybe you’re saying git is‽

poetry feels like the closest equivalent to cargo that I've used. pipenv is better than the previous status quo but is still oddly unstable, with random new issues I encounter with every release. poetry "just works" for me, has better dependency resolution, and IMO has a nicer interface and terminal output to boot.

And to be clear: If you are unable to solve these common algorithmic questions that companies like Microsoft ask, then that's not the right place for you to work. This is a tangent, but there are literally thousands of companies that won't require you to solve these problems. The thing is, at Microsoft & co. you don't just do this in an interview. You do it at your job too. We do foundational work in many teams and we need to solve algorithmic problems practically every week. If you are unable to code yourself out of a DP problem or scared of NP completeness and approximation algorithms, then maybe find a different job instead of complaining about the interview process?

Well, time will tell ...
Thanks. Been chewing on how to respond.

I still buy into the rational choice theories. Despite the growing evidence to the contrary. Democracy for Realists, folk theory of democracy, and all that.

As I said upthread, I focus on process and feedback loops. Blame my tour of duty as a SQA manager.

I empowered my teams thru delegation. They owned the product. Not me. It was their success. Not mine.

I built trust over time by honoring their decisions. And probably more importantly, fending off attacks on their efforts. Like the helpful SVP PHB giving "suggestions" and shaking the ant farm.

I'm currently totally on board with Stacy Abrams' view of democracy. People buy-in when they see their actions have impact, consequences. They check out when they're ignored.

My own former teammates told me as much. Next manager comes in, asks for input, does their own thing. Completely alienated the team. They never leaned in again.

It takes time, real effort, commitment. Trust is so hard to earn, so easily lost.

YMMV.
FOMO on what? Python makes more of an impact on the world than most people would even dream of for their projects. The products that use the language cover the entire spectrum of digital technology...
I was thinking the same. I spent many of the formative years of my career (late-80's, most of the 90's) HATING microsoft but to see them now and all the relatively "open" stuff that they not only embrace but can't really extinguish is refreshing. I think some of that attitude put Satya in place, but he's run with the ball under the same ethos.
