Python was created in the 90s when most unix users were on huge minicomputer-like shared systems (mostly at universities). In those days you had entire IT staff dedicated to curating and maintaining all of the software on the system, making sure it ran well, keeping it updated, etc. Guido explicitly did not want to bog the language development down with time spent on building packaging, deployment, etc.--those were matters for the system admins. We've all kind of been dealing with the consequences of that decision for many years.
Yes but I like that it's simple and self-hosted with the privacy aspect.
Because it can be hard to maintain non-recursive make systems for large projects. Just because recursive make is discouraged does not mean that the alternative is without its own drawbacks.

That *is* a arrow. Arrow composition is adding up the distance along a path.
Lots of single-pass compilers can achieve 1MLOC/s. But the main problem is that C++ has an O(n^2) compilation model due to header explosion. Also, expanding C++ templates is very computationally intensive.
But the US had all those things and still spied on everyone’s networks... but we should keep following that logic?
Both, I guess, because they're correlated. Certainly culture plays a big part. The USSR days were intense for science and nationalism. I guess those books were just another reflex of the space race mentality that stuck for a while.

I don't remember which Mir books I've read exactly, but I'm almost sure two of them were Irodov's Fundamental Laws of Mechanics and Saveliev's General Course. Maybe I was just too immature, but that thing was way too heavy for a standard high-schooler.
If you're wondering, "What is the turbofish?", it is the awkward syntax Rust requires when specifying generic arguments in an expression, such as:

You don't trust health data from tobacco companies either, but you can still figure out ways to analyze the health of tobacco.

This certainly is not my wheelhouse, but I assume someone has made some attempts to analyze this?

I started using the xTab extension which automatically closes all but a user-defined number of tabs (have it set to 20) and it hasn't bothered me. If there is a pin you don't want to close automatically (such as an online meeting) you can pin it so it doesn't close automatically.
Does your company maintain operating systems, compilers, web browsers, libraries for cryptography, machine learning, compression, etc?

Do you have services used by billions of people that process petabytes of data every day?

Even if it's 1/10th the scale people are saying it is indeed still quite horrifying.
I didn't see any breaking changes in the release notes but I may have missed them. Maybe they don't use SemVer?
This is really puzzling. For once we actually have not one, but two ’hi-tech’ companies in Europe, that can be considered significant competitors in a global market, yet instead of embracing this opportunity, Germany thinks its better to further segment the market to smaller players? A market that to be honest, is not as lucrative as many might think and has huge upfront R&D costs everytime the next G is coming up, especially on the RAN side.

I guess if its not airplanes or cars, we can leave it to Silicon Valley to handle. Or is it only airplanes now?

There are already technologies that work similarly to blockchain (such as Git) without needing blockchain to work. You can have distributed, immutable databases without blockchain.

Blockchain's only real advantage is that it eliminates the need for trust. If your system doesn't need to be trustless, there are far more efficient (energy and otherwise) tools that already exist and accomplish everything else that blockchain does.
It's probably that whole "dumb" humanistic concept of choosing your own path in life rather than the government choosing it for you.
I like the idea of some extremely tired 486 hooked up to a thinnet cable in some storage closet still serving up pages off of their Slackware Linux 1.1 install using CERN httpd. Nobody wants to turn it off because they know the hard drive will never spin up again if they do.
They mean at genome-wide scales. If you are just doing a 410bp the sequence is short enough that the signal of is going crush and noise you get from strands slipping in the pores.

The errors nanopores get are gaps, not base pair substitutions. So with things like viral or bacterial sequencing you don't really have huge issues.

When you are doing large eukaryotic sequences with lower coverage on average, you start picking up a lot of deletion artifacts. Which isn't a huge deal if you have a very well annotated genome like human, but if you are doing pioneer genomics it can create some difficulties. Often if the genome isn't well annotated, its best to pair nanopore with short reads.
Sorry - I added quotes to make it clearer now.
If it's any consolation, it is just as bad in other countries, when using Huawei equipment. This is not due to technology, this is due to carriers and ISPs. Those two are completely separate from tech companies making networking hardware. Ironically [for this comment] Germany uses A LOT of Huawei stuff for the access network on xDSL.

Whenever I `cd` into the folder, asdf automatically uses the right versions for me. I don't have to worry about anything. Razer sharp scalpel of a tool.
We're already not the rare, coveted unicorns we once were - immigration rules in various countries were stacked in our favour a decade back. Now, much less so.
Here, you are talking about “money” and “transactions” which have very little link with the creation of “economic value”, sorry. Since you don't really understand what we are talking about, I can't do any better than advising you to learn a little bit about economics (any econ 101 on coursera would do the trick).

Good day.
Loves is a strong word. I think it makes more sense to say that the IRS doesn't have the budget or resources to go after the big players. Yes, people cheating only $2k probably won't pay for a lawyer but from the IRS side it's just much simpler to analyze and prove that person is in the wrong.

Many of the problems people appear to be having with pyenv on M1 are related to it pulling include paths for homebrew that include homebrew libffi, but not passing the library path. For cases like cffi this results in header/library mismatch and you get runtime dynamic linker errors.

Other replies here appear to assume basic compilation issues, but the issues I've seen on various GitHub projects are mostly related to these more insidious C toolchain challenges. They're not M1-specific, but they are manifesting on M1 machines.

I.E. blockchain does nothing to solve this potential issue
Few SSDs can sustain such a speed for a long time. After they exhaust their temporary SLC cache they drop to much lower speeds.
SSDs that have accumulated a large amount of writes might also make large pauses at random times during writing, for garbage collection.
Good SSDs remain faster than HDDs even in these circumstances, but they are nevertheless much slower than when benchmarked for short times while they are new.
> EU should develop its own infrastructure for communications.

Before telling that EU or US should develop its own infrastructure for communications, think why it's not there already, and why it needs a boot from the government.

US, and EU largely nuked their own industries without any foreign spies blowing up bridges.

I cannot single out what's in particular what's solely responsible for demise of industrial economy in the West, but having tried it myself I can say that the sense of swimming against the current is omnipresent.

Don't just spray money, first think why doing so 10 times before did not work.

Turns out the board doesn't even have to meet in this case. Levine wrote Jan 25:

> Happily, GameStop does have an ATM offering going. It put it in place on Dec. 8, 2020, when the stock was at about $16.35. The way these things work is that GameStop disclosed that its bank could sell stock—up to $100 million worth—“from time to time” at GameStop’s request “consistent with its normal trading and sales practices”; it did not disclose any particular schedule, and has not yet reported if any shares have been sold, or how many, or when. So I don’t know if GameStop had sold the whole $100 million before Friday’s wild run, or if it had any stock left over to sell; if it had any left over, I don’t know if it sold it all on Friday. I hope it did! [1]

On the other hand, that may have been extremely lucky. When Hertz tried to issue more stock in June, the SEC objected so it never happened -- as it was too likely the buyers would be purchasing essentially worthless shares. [2]

This is intended for analytical workloads where you're often doing things that can benefit from vectorization (like SIMD). It's much faster to SUM(X) when all values of X are neatly laid out in-memory.

It also has the added benefit of eliminating serialization and deserialization of data between processes - a Python process can now write to memory which is read by a C++ process that's doing windowed aggregations, which are then written over the network to another Arrow compatible service that just copies the data as-is from the network into local memory and resumes working.
This wasn't about flowers. It was about bulbs, which can sit in storage for months if not years.
I wonder if developers could unionize?
Hey Jonathan,

My biggest issue with this site is that it presents these arguments as two-sided. Depending on which two sides you pick, this usually limits the window of possibility.

The most galling example I found was in the “Medicare for all just isn’t going to happen” discussion. Both sides agree that true M4A is a ridiculous fantasy that needn’t be pursued. This felt no different from typical mainstream media framing of M4A, manufactured consent and all.

I guess my point is if your goal is to reiterate WaPo/NYT talking points in a more conversational medium, you’ve done it. But if you want to actually move the conversation forward you’ll need to change the format, or at the very least bring in some new voices.

Part of the issue could be the reliance on traditional symbols of prestige to determine who’s an expert. I would think about how you could broaden this a bit, maybe pull in specific people for certain discussions they have relevant experience in?

For example: a pro vs anti union debate with a corporate executive on one side and an organizer on the other would be informative and entertaining, and is uniquely suited to your medium.

Edited to fix a typo
Recruiters have weak messaging. That's their main problem. There are many types of mistakes they make and often have the sales mentality, using fluffy speak and mainly trying to get you on the phone.

The main reason is still very weak calls to action that don't speak to devs. That and they typically can't speak the lingo and resort to buzzwords. Much of it is very spammy and shows no personal attention, bad apples spoiling the barrel

That is so good. How are the contributions managed from community ? is there a CLA that they need to agree. Couldn't find that in repo.

To be fair it's more than just possible that ASC brain preservation doesn't work even under any other hypothesis of cognition.

In that case everyone has a different definition of wilderness. If a place only needs to be wild, I know some neighborhoods that would qualify. Yeah, they tend to have access points and some trails. I wouldn't call where you're parking wilderness.
If you're interested in Pluto.jl, I recently saw an announcement about Neptune.jl[1], which appears to remove some of the reactive nature of Pluto. It's a fork of Pluto and executes code sequentially one cell at a time instead. An interesting read anyway and maybe worth trying.

Does the funding source have some bias impacts in this kind of thing? (i.e.: Moscow City Health Department, Russian Direct Investment Fund, Sberbank, and RUSAL.)
I think there's definitely a fun angle to explore here.

Right now, everything is asynchronous. (Authors post at their own convenience.) But I wonder what would happen if we tried to host an event once a week. Something, say, for an hour or two one evening. It could be the top two people in a field, but it'd probably be interesting to bring in a few different types of folks as well.

Right now, the format on Pairagraph is 4 entries, each 500 words, created by alternating authors. But we've recently thought about what it would look like to facilitate dialogues with more than 2 participants.

Do you have any ideas for how contributors might get paid? Could crypto facilitate something like that?
> And I don't buy the "they're not in control of whether or not externalities are priced in", they have immense lobbying power to de facto subvert democracy and overpower the will of the people. They can kill or stall legislation that harms their bottom line, and of course they will! It makes them more money so why ever wouldn't they?

What evidence do you have that Amazon, specifically, has done this? And why would Amazon work towards becoming 100% renewable by 2025 (surely at a high cost to them) or investing $2B in climate action (that's roughly how much they'd have to pay in carbon pricing anyway), if they actually wish to lobby against carbon pricing legislation? That is internally inconsistent.
Meanwhile Crystal lang has had generics for years and years. Just saying :D

> I've never open sourced it though because I guess it's a bit of a grey area - the sites want you to go to the full URL so they can show you ads etc

I honestly would not mind much if sites just included ads in their .RSS feed? Some bloggers I follow have their rss 'sponsored' and will do a sponsor post once a week. If ad insertion is really so important a site could just have labeled ads as part of the content stream. It's not ideal, but I'd prefer it to a feed that only has 2 or 3 teaser sentences and then forces me to click through.

I actually took Wired and Slate off my RSS feed just because I got annoyed at how often I would click through and get a paywall. Usually I was using up my free articles just to see what the article was about without reading it.

We had a medium size app and it took literally 30 minutes on a MacBook Pro to resolve (not install, just resolve) dependencies. This was a few years ago so perhaps performance improved, but it was abysmal and made it impossible to meet our goals of fast CI/CD.
I've been using it and has contributed to it, but I wish it supported out of the box GitHub-based release binaries as 90% of my code for different vendors was relatively the same, so, instead of having multiple identical repositories, I created one, which uses introspection [0].

I wish this was available out of the box to handle literary 90% of the tools.

Also, I typically pair it with direnv [1] for even more magic.

Better than ""Code Complete" in the context of this post - "Rapid Development". Probably the best book on software project management I've read.
I wouldn't trust Americans either if I had no access to courts that had jurisdiction over them. This is one of the issues of trade without reciprocal jurisdiction. The problem extends beyond just communications hardware and the special concerns of that category.
I think the decline of the industrial economy in the US is substantially down to the US government effectively subsidizing foreign manufacturing with seignorage (dollar printing) profits.

I think you'll find that most people who focus on identity politics would rather have that gap closed for everyone, than to see specifically people who look like them in places of power why they themselves continue to languish. The issue is that these people who focus on identity politics aren't actually stupid and, in fact, do understand the rules of this game that they were swept into (without their consent, mind you): power accrues more power and tribalism is rampant. Under the status quo, people who've been marginalized in the past have a better chance when they increase their numbers in seats of power. Further, strides forward in economic and social wellbeing tend to leave them behind unless they speak up.

So the dilemma in the situation you describe is between whether to ignore diversity concerns and in turn be ignored, or to speak up and risk losing class solidarity. It sucks that we have to make that decision; it would be better if less-marginalized people made proactive efforts to ensure we're involved in and will explicitly benefit from initiatives or movements that implicitly aligns with our interests.
I agree in principle. On the other hand, global crises have always called for extraordinary measures.

Even in this pandemic, we've (correctly, I would say) basically thrown out important principles like freedom of movement and freedom of association during lockdowns. I think that allowing volunteers to put themselves at a relatively low risk to speed up vaccine trials would have been a relatively small transgression, compared to the lockdowns and travel bans (which, again, I think were justified).

But I do take your point.
If you mean wrapping native widgets, this wouldn't solve much - you would still need some language to take care of the logic, like a JavaScript engine. At this point just using Electron is simply easier for devs, and as much as we hate it, realistically speaking it's still better than nothing.
It's a cool format, but I find most of the actual debate lackluster. There's only one that I've read where they specifically addressed each others arguments. Half the time one or both sides just puts up their talking points without real engagement. The other half the pretty much agree and make essentially the same argument in different ways.
That's true. I think the fair way to put it that it's possible that ASC preserves the necessary data to simulate a brain.
The only issue is (was?) that you need to preinstall these unless this has changed in the past year. When I integrated it with direnv [0], I made the missing ones autoinstall.
