I recently realized and talked about how HN has been my third place for a while ( young account but ( relatively ) old soul ). Thought I should submit the thing itself.

Turns out those are really important, and their destruction is one of the serious side-effects of the sanitary measures that is almost completely ignored, or at least not part of the equation of all the downsides to this non-sense ( referring mostly to lockdowns ). Anyway, I'm not in the mood for a Covid debate, just find it useful to delineate this concept.
interesting to notice the text in the "comparisons to other implementations"

"How fast is CPython's implementation of bignums compared to other implementations? ... One important thing to know about these results is that the fastest programs use bignums provided by the GMP library and not the bignums provided by the language. If we exclude the programs that use GMP bindings, we get the following results... "

Maybe a basic question, I have hundreds of VM in GCP that runs Jupyter notebooks, currently Google Cloud monitors memory and CPU for me, can I use your application to monitor Jupyter service and Docker inside my VMs? What is the benefit over custom Google Clouds monitoring metrics?
Rules of engagement depend on where you are, who you're fighting and who is watching. Turns out that the US doesn't enforce any RoE in its borders, and you can use all the brutality and shiny weapons that you want against people living there with little to no oversight at all.
> Except that if you added a new file then "git commit -a" will miss it out.

Exactly like Mercurial, you mean? Try it if you haven't in a while: you have to call “hg add” to add a new file or you'll get “nothing changed” when you run "hg commit".

The reason why neither of them has a default “add everything in the current directory” mode is that this is how you end up with repositories containing temporary files, build artifacts, and secrets.

This is not a good example to base ”much better UI” claims on.
Couldn't they have used "case" and "capture" clauses instead?

match status:
case not_found:
return "Not found"
capture success_code:
return "Returned success code: %s" % success_code

or the "_ as x" or a myriad other ways to make capture explicit...
As someone who used to like team happy hours / events when we had offices - team "events" via zoom are weird and awkward. I spend so much of my time at home working, that the last thing I want to do in my free time is pretend to want to talk to my co-workers.
Cover letters are shorter. Maybe instead of trying to read all those resumes they should just skip that and only read the cover letters.

> There is absolutely nothing to suggest that he is forcing a literal meaning of the phrase.

Actually there is: the inclusion of the words "about racism". "Silence is violence" is a catchy slogan. "Silence about racism is violence" is less catchy, so it is not at all implausible that he did not intend it to be read as a slogan, but rather an actual literal assertion.
Beautiful! ... I used some version of the CTCS-552 from 10th to 12th grade (and still have it around here somewhere). The slide-out card has trig tables and quite a few formulas. I also have one of my father's slide rules which he used for the first 1/3 of his EE career. There was a huge benefit of using a slide rule - it reinforces your "mental math" since you're keeping track of the magnitude of your calculations in your head. When I later started using a calculator, it was really obvious if I'd mistyped part of a calculation.
I've tried to tell people about this before and they're like, no I learned the term figurehead before so you're wrong somehow.
We must have different definitions of “real Linux” if you think this. For example NXP makes arm chips [1] and I have put a bitbake OS on there that I absolutely considered “real Linux,” 4.18 kernel, coreutils etc.

> We tend to have punishments that are large multiples of the benefits of committing the crime

This is another fantasy. It's only true for certain types of people. Are the punishments for crimes committed by police officers scaled based on the likelihood of punishment?

> NNT's tend to be pretty high for most medical interventions. e.g. statins.

I would not pay 30% of my salary for statins.

> We pay a small percentage of our income to what becomes city budgets

All of the money that cities use to purchase police service comes from taxes. The question is not what percentage of an individual's income goes to police, but whether, from the perspective of the city, the overall allocation is an effective use of public funds.
A helpful clarification.
While that's a convincing narrative, the idea of a true root cause is fallacious.
Historically there are a lot more spontaneously formed kingdoms than parliaments.
It does not prepopulate in my experience (or if it does, not reliably). And I literally said I want an easy hit command line way to just push to a special branch name to have the pull created.

You’re answer is the stereotypical answer of telling the user to adapt to the tools instead of improving the UX (not to mention completely ignoring my point that GitHub doesn’t support stacked diffs). GitHub has a lot of advantages and has maintained their community but they lack pretty badly in some ways on the usability of their UX flow/feature set for power users. This isn’t necessarily accidental or a wrong decision since they might be prioritizing the broader dev community that isn’t familiar with more opinionated dev workflows and they’re solving the Ux for 90% of PRs. I still think there’s a way to strike that balance better and I hope they do so so that I don’t hate my life whenever I’m forced to use GitHub.
Oh, cramming the names into a common format is something I have under my belt, but there are additional wrinkles and, worse yet, local bizarreness (aka "historical convention"). The names are the least of it, really, even if they are ... odd.
I didn’t ask how it would work. I asked what the grounds for removal would be?
"Honestly, that sounds like someone that didn't bother to learn what's actually going" - Yes, exactly! I never learned what was going on. I pinged our JAPH that was kind of my mentor, and asked how he had ever grokked it - and his answer was, he hadn't - he just yanked his template code each time as well.

The point I'm trying to make is not that I'm a good or knowledgeable developer (neither of which I am, despite having written tens of thousands of lines of perl) - but that the core essence of Python, is that people can use it quickly and profitably without being one. The cognitive hurdle to start using objects in python is tiny - and, once you get that - a lot of the stuff that you would hope works, just does. The language is very friendly to novice coders, and it's lack of implicit (for the most part) actions avoids a lot of unclear side effect.

For more complex projects, things like decorators and generators and type-hints, which are advanced, are available if you need them - but you can go a long way (sometimes forever) without ever touching them - that's not the case with simple data structures - you pretty much need to start working with HoA in perl if you want to do complex things, and I know people who have used perl for the better part of a decade, who have never done so - and were blocked from doing more interesting things.
>There is an (appointed) upper house in Canada and the UK at least, that in theory can act as a check on parliament.

If anything needs reform it's the fucking Senate. Basically the same problems as the US Supreme Court has where whoever's in charge when people die get to pack the upper house of government. I'd happily take at least term limits but I feel like it should either be elected or produced somehow via vote share during the parlimentary election.
I would point out that Sweden is unique on that list, as although they do have a monarchy, the king hold no legal/political power, not even in a "symbolic" sense.

A potential explanation for the phenomena you've observed is that it's uncommon for new monarchies to be started in the 21st century, so the countries that still have monarchies are all countries that for the most part have had stable forms of government for many decades if not centuries.

Also there are plenty of poorer countries with monarchies: Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, North Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Bhutan, Lesotho, Oman, Qatar, etc. (I'll admit it's a bit suspect to label North Korea as a monarchy).
Most of them are far more aggressive about taking things down than the DMCA requires and they also don't allow counter-claims that would be allowed if they were actually following the DMCA. If it was just a DMCA takedown request, then the uploader would basically just have to say that it's not copyright infringement and then the only recourse for the takedown requester would be to take the uploader to court.

> What exactly is the justification for having those tasks, if they're deemed necessary, executed by some hereditary, secretive, uber-wealthy family rather than by someone who is actually a civil servant?

The easiest ways to corrupt someone are offering them wealth, opportunities for their children, or a popular reputation; the royals are relatively immune to all of those.
>Many of the comments here reveal a bizarre parochialism.

This seems like a bizarre misunderstanding of Python scoping rules, and how this can be a problem here.
I believe most recruiters would prefer they write the "cover letter". All it's meant to do is highlight what parts of your resume make you a great fit for the job.
Perhaps Crazy Frog would be better in this instance.
That makes me wonder - if gold's color can be explained via theoretical effects, can we predict the color of elements which don't exist in bulk and/or decay rapidly? Are any of them theoretically unusual and interesting?

What does it mean for a type class to be "law-abiding"? I'm coming from Rust so I'm curious what the "issue" is with FromIterator.
Super mixed feelings about this. I feel like the binding stuff in particular could have been solved with some sort of prefix symbol (like "this is referring to a binding location") without introducing a bunch of semantic weirdness.

But like... hey, finally get a case statement! I imagine the community will coalesce a bit around best practices. And stuff like pylint will catch name shadowing (at least in theory). Almost all pattern matching mechanism have name shadowing issues and it's definitely annoying, but they are able to figure it out.
> Also, as far as I know, Go doesn't require special support from your git (or whatever VCS you use) server, as is confirmed by the reference: https://golang.org/ref/mod#vcs

One point of clarification- pretty much no one uses the VCS qualifier (.git in the module path) so the nicer looking import paths work by having a web server respond with the special meta tag. That could be what OP was referencing.

Also, tangentially, Drew DeVault found out that the docs hosted on pkg.go.dev only use a whitelisted set of domains for sources.

Gamblers who have never actually bought real art, magically, start appreciating .jpgs when they can gamble on them. NFT's are where some make a .jpg, but try and figure out some way to sell it for 100's of thousands of dollars. So some buy it from themselves so people think it's valuable. Then some rube might actually buy it and the .jpg creator "gets" his money. NFT for me means No F**** Thanks.

There is a small edge case of useful NFT's that abstract contract functions into another form so a normal "send" can be used to do something more complicated. They're nearly never used in this useful way.

In the bear market, these price of these tokens is annihilated quite rapidly. Also, I'm biased.
That's true but still doesn't back his argument that these games cater to short attention span people. People sink hours straight into these games.
ASCAP & BMI need to get involved and sue the police for illegally using music in a performance/live event/concert without the proper licensing. The videos people take are just evidence of the police's flagrant violations of the music licensing.
Given our lopsided wealth distribution, why don't we redistribute and make our musicians more well to do? Another tax is really a great idea, it wouldn't solve everything but would help make a more equal society if it could be applied without corporations avoiding it.

We already have enough production and even unemployment! We have more than enough spare labor capacity to let people try their hand at music more freely.

In any case, I know several musicians and they essentially get repeatedly spit on by society, work for peanuts, and never give up on their mission even after sometimes becoming near suicidal. The current system is inhumane and starves us of non-commercial art.
Well, this "inevitable" consequence also infects pattern matching.
> I don't think people are asking for abolishing the police force

Yes, we are. That's what "abolish police" means.

Could we please abolish the police force? They do far more harm than good.
I've heard the lack of dealer networks is one of the key points against competitors. Those networks serve as a parts and systems replacements logistics multiplier. Implicit 'insurance' against crop loss is built in to that high price.

Logically some kind of insurance against opportunity loss due to equipment issues, and/or better logistics supply for parts would probably aid competition.
Changing pricing or terms of service.. don't be stupid.
Right - but without clarification from Google, we really don’t know what it means.
Well his point was probably to reference these videos, so you can go look it up yourself if you are interested.

Not every comment has to be a multi page long essay.

Instead, merely telling people that something exists is useful, so people can search for it later.

If you really care so much, then you should feel free to find then yourself.

The Houseparty app has a decent variety of games that you could play together as a team. Our team had a lot of fun playing pictionary on it!
I lived in in SF (Soma) and the East Bay (Livermore and Pleasanton). Both places were bad. My white coworkers and neighbors would say bad things about Vietnamese and Chinese people. My wife and I were verbally harassed by random people on the streets of SF. It wasn't a daily thing, but it was enough to make us leave and never want to go back.
Cheats and exploits are also much more common on PCs.
Anecdata:

Had my bike stolen DIRECTLY in front of a security camera in Seattle.

The police didn't even bother to look for the plates on the car in the footage identify the person. They also wouldn't let me see the tape. They just showed up and said, "This is a cold case" and then left.

I guess the illusion of them showing up gave me some sense of validation.

> The warrior mindset is at the root of so many of these problems. We need to disband all of the police forces and start again with a new culture based around a guardian mindset and community service.

Nearly ten years ago, Reason posted a comparison of police recruitment videos from Decatur, Georgia, and Newport Beach, California. They illustrate beautifully the two mindsets you describe.

> A Haxe macro is just regular Haxe code with the same syntax and same standard library, except it runs at compile time, and it can operate on the AST of your program. They're like shaders, but for your compiler.

Scala macros are the same way (but with an obtuse API until Scala 3, which should be out soon after all the syntax bikeshedding is done). It's also one of the things I love about Scala, though I'd understand why others might disagree. Metaprogramming is fraught; even moreso when it's plain that it's a program that runs at compile time (which is also the case with C++ templates, to fewer complaints per-capita for reasons I don't understand)
Libertarians in fact love being ruled over most of all - they just call the rulers "property owners".
Removal in what sense? Are you seeking clarification on why the monarchy should be abolished, or the benefits of imposing exile?
Drug addicts looking for a quick crime to get cash for their next fix are not going to be sweating a 13.9% of going to jail, so that stat you are using is not relevant to real world criminal behavior. That stat instead holds sway over people that are not normally criminaly minded, but might find themselves in a situation presents itself. At that point, a >0% chance might make some think twice.
We don't need a violent revolution, the people who place themselves above all other people and claim ownership of our lands and claim control of us as people could choose to denounce those positions and powers of their own will. No one is forcing them to claim sovereignty over other people, nor forcing them to claim sole right to income and assets that should belong to the nation.
If you read my response to the user "flockonus" below, I got the idea from this podcast episode: https://fs.blog/knowledge-project/adam-robinson-pt2/. You can go to the timestamp 56:09 until around 1:04:00 where they talk about giving/receiving feedback.

I can imagine it being frustrating seeing a similar product pop up a couple months after your launch (I found your hackernews post), but I've never seen Increment.me before. I honestly wouldn't even build something that already exists—I did research into this and I didn't find anything.

You're accusing me of ripping off Increment.me based off of what?

Anyways, this is just a fun side project for me (I'm a single person building this thing) so I don't plan to compete with Increment.me.

Also, I don't understand how you think I stole Increment.me's tagline.

Struggling a bit with Python and JS-related packaging stuff recently, I'm also wondering: in a clean-room environment, what does good Python packaging look like? Is it "get a single binary" stuff?

Somewhere in storage I have a perfectly legitimate VCD release of one of the original Star Trek movies. It's split across two discs!

The comparison with Laserdisc always amused me. Laserdiscs usually have to be turned over half way through, VCDs only play on one side, so you have to swap it out for a completely separate disc in the middle of the movie.

IANAL, but given that they are doing this in California, I would say Penal Code 135 PC [1], the willful destruction or hiding of evidence during a legal proceeding such as a criminal investigation. Police conduct during an arrest constitutes material evidence and thus the intentional playing of music that they believe will prevent those recordings from being produced or discoverable constitutes a willful hiding if not destruction of said evidence. Such a crime may result in up to 6 months in jail per offense.

>Seems like you need some kind of divine recognition, as otherwise you're just a dictator.

I'd argue you have it backwards there. You start as a dictator (you and a bunch of people who agree with you take over some part of land, congrats you're the King) then the legitimacy comes from you and your family holding on to it till everyone's used to it.

Stallman's (and the FSF's) view on services is that it's like paying a plumber. The plumber isn't violating any of your freedoms by using non-free tools in their repair work, but it is unfortunate. This is a pragmatic view, because Stallman needed to grapple with continuing riding public transportation, even as they relied on non-free software, so an arbitrary line was drawn in the sand, one that barely made sense in the 80s and only continued to become more bizarre as computers became more and more networked.

This line has very bizarre consequences: FSF-supported hardware prefers closed-source firmware to be fused into ROM rather than upgradeble, the theory being that manufacturers shouldn't have more freedoms than the user. My favorite story was a laptop recommended by the FSF went from being "free" to "non-free" because an engineer found an undocumented protocol to upload new firmware to memory that the FSF thought was fused shut. These are the weird results that emerge when extrapolating extreme fundamentalist social policies far beyond their breaking point.

The FSF and Stallman do not care about the AGPL that much, they are far more worried about non-free software running on your own machine, like non-free JavaScript. Otherwise, Stallman couldn't ethically ride the T.
