Kitty terminal is about half python as well with extension opportunities and would probably be a good early project opportunity for some people.

Also, renpy is used for a number of games, including some commercial games, so modifiying an existing game would be another option. (As a side note, I wish someone would make a python point and click adventure equivalent of renpy since for being such basic games they very often have major technical issues).
The problem is that you can't remove your business from the platform. There should be an opt out for businesses that do not want to be listed.
This is pattern matching. Support for this exists in Haskell, Scala, and now even Ruby and soon Python.
This is why the language is getting bloated. People shouldn't be so obstinately against breaking changes.
It's called pattern matching. You see it a lot in functional languages, not so much in others. Haxe mostly borrowed it from ocaml.

> How does this work, do you code and specify a target output?

Indeed. You can specify multiple targets on multiple builds if your code is compatible with all of them (which happens without too much work when working with libs that do the abstraction for you, like openfl or heaps -- and yeah, that's mostly for games).
The concept is interesting, but I'm a little leery of the detail that the benchmark performance reported is in each case "the best run out of 100".

One can claim, thus, only that this sort method's near-best-case performance is better than `std::sort`'s near-best-case performance (at least at the, er, P01 level). That says little to nothing about the modal or reasonably-bad-case (say, P95) performance.

A comparison of median values would lend much more weight to the claim that this method is "faster" than `std::sort`.

But a really good benchmark report would show the entire histogram of performance for each method.
You can also host an event for online volunteering- eg. mapping projects. Examples- https://www.missingmaps.org/ and https://www.hotosm.org/

Most of these would show a leaderboard of whoever has made most contributions (within your event/subgroup) and you can turn it into a game.
I do it with my clients, but we're not using a lot of clusters.

Practice, relaxation and the relief of (self-induced and exaggerated) pressure. By practicing your writing and getting feedback (from self-critique or others) you have an opportunity to properly internalize things you'd been consciously thinking of before. Maybe it's your style, your choice of terms, whatever. Practice permits the internalization. Relaxation and relief of pressure permit you to actually practice without fear of failure. Failure is often a better teacher than success, you can succeed all your life by dumb luck and never learn a thing or misattribute the success to the wrong elements.

In other skills, physical or mental, removing pressure and practicing more permits the same kind of growth and development.
It's pattern matching, it's a feature of most functional languages (yes, Haxe is OO, but the language feels veeerrrrry familiar to someone who has used OCaml). Starting to become a more common feature as languages absorb and expose functional-style features (C#, Swift, Kotlin, Rust etc)
Crypto will be an asset class, never “money”. Nobody will generally buy stuff with it; except maybe other asset classes of investment.

Fungible, large-scale, value-stable, user- and network-failure resilient cryptocurrency “money” is on the way, though. That’s going to be interesting.
For desktop game development it seems better. I don't know if you can use Typescript for GUI applications without Electron or something equivalent. There are some successful modern games that were developed using haxe[0].

Numbers 1, 2 & 4 are accurate.

Number 3 isn't backed up by any type of economics - bitcoin increases in value over time as long as new people enter bitcoin in order to pay the people who bought into bitcoin earlier. It's zero sum (for the non-mining population at least). A fixed supply of something doesn't mean it will increase in value over time.

That is the opposite of the problem being posed. The question is how you define `greet` using f-strings.
Property owned by the Crown is not the property of Elizabeth, as a person. If QE II were to abdicate, for example, she would not get to keep all of it. It's the property of the Crown, the office of the head of state. It belongs to the state, in practice. If she's advised to abdicate, she would, and she's advised to transfer all Crown property to a republic, she would.

The royal family does have many billions in personal holdings as well, of course.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure why it's being downvoted, perhaps your definition is too narrow and definitely not authoritative (and why should you care).

Based on yours and the parent's reply, I am sold. I don't care about immersion as much as I care about that feel of rush and competition, and it seems like that part specifically is addressed quite well with simracing.

And I agree w/r to Forza. I played it, i liked the game, but it was clearly an arcade racer, not what I am looking for here. It didn't give me any sort of feelings I was looking for, but it was a pretty fun game on its own.

On that note, thanks for help to both of you, I will start researching simracing setups now.
Leaving a note here so I can come back and visit to try this out. I was recently looking some new monitoring services and so I like to try this and see how it goes.
That is a good point, and I do intend to do full-scale application benchmarks; I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

That being said, all the implementations of memset I tested except for glibc's are in the neighborhood of 100-300 bytes (also including the freebsd version, which doesn't use any simd), which is a fair sight smaller than 6k.

I've wondered about this. I have a friend with an old tractor, and it's a marvel of simplicity. You could literally fix most problems yourself.

At some point you do need someone else's technology tree (like an engine case).

And at that point, I think computers can simplify things.

There are all kinds of things that work better if you have a wire and a solenoid, as opposed to a mechanical linkage, or a bundle of individual wires or a vacuum line.
You presented it as a fact, not an opinion, thus my original answer.

FWIW, as a general rule, I disagree: say you get to use two pieces of software with the same functionality, shortcuts et. al. for similar amounts of time, the first having 0 regard towards UI/UX, and the second having spent some time thinking about how it presents information and overall legibility. I'd be more than extremely surprised if most users couldn't possibly end up being more efficient using the second.

However, sure, making things pretty for the sake of it tends to impede on usability.

My current job uses a mix of Java & Elixir. I definitely feel the pain of using the Elixir client when the Java client offers so much.

I also encountered some pain with the AWS client for Elixir when our company implemented SSO. There was a lack of support for a certain flavor of environment variable if I recall correctly. It's not horrible, just a pain.
I disagree. Semi-early HN (I've only been here since 2010) was a lot more political and a lot more technical. When the current heavy moderation regime was added, political topics were intentionally (and for a period openly and explicitly) pushed out. It was after a period with a lot of threads about black people's experiences in tech.

I thought the moderation would chase me away, especially with the reduction in technical content (after a long period of X in javascript threads overwhelming the site.) I was wrong, it's still nice, it's just more mainstream. It's the same stories that are trending on google news, just debated and discussed by smart people with grammar and civility fetishes. That's not actually bad.
If Wikipedia is to be believed, it already has been used to prevent a Private Member's Bill from being debated relatively recently in 1999: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_parliamentary_approval_for_...

It is not really "not thinking", but not using your conscious mind, which can only focus on a single thing.

You think with your subconscious mind too. But this can do multiple things at the same time, way faster than the logical mind.

The harder you focus on a single thing, the more you ignore the entire system and the slower you perform.

It is not just instinct as the article say, a tennis player does not play by instinct because nobody knows how to play tennis when he is born.

It is by training that you develop intuition. If you train well you can perform well without thinking consciously. Training well is hard work and takes a lot of time too.

If you follow your instincts you are predictable and an easy prey. I can hunt or fish animals because they follow their instincts too well.
When I needed to fix my Case IH planter, the dealer handed me the service manual (book) and off I went.

When I needed to fix my John Deere combine, the repair tech had to decrypt the service manual on his laptop for me.

There does seem to be some different cultures around protecting information, but I was able to access what I needed in both cases, so I'm not sure it makes that much difference at the end of the day.

I haven't had much trouble with Deere not willing to work with me and my equipment. No more than any other brand, and my shed has all the major brands in it.

There is no doubt a squeeze on people who don't own John Deere equipment, but wish to have an independent career fixing John Deere farm equipment on behalf of other farmers. That isn't a problem seen by farmers directly, though.
Why would you run Android on an old underpowered SoC if you can buy a new Android phone with much better specs for the same price or cheaper locally, with much easier to attain warranty and better delivery times?

Pinephone is only interesting because it is getting a progressively better mainline Linux support every day, can run normal Linux distros, has fairly open hardware and a manufacturer that accepts feedback, and works on interesting stuff, like a kinda unique planned external keyboard+battery shell for it.

It's a real pocket computer with HW that I can control without restrictions, SW that I can trust, and don't have to run everything in a sandbox, just like on my workstation.
Unpopular opinion: the team releases LTS kernel updates too fast the past few years, I've received 3x already in the first week of February and 8x during January for 5.4 series. During that same period, I have 4x (Feb) and 8x (Jan) tip revision kernels (5.9/5.10) upgrade - the supposed stable LTS kernel versions are changing as fast as the tip revisions.
It is less and less technical for every year. Probably because it's not just developers among the users now, you can encounter chemists, engineers, lawyers etc. It's usually some of those curious professions that acquire interest for programming and like to follow tech news.

Why Open Source Project Maintainers Are Reluctant to Use Digital Signatures, 2FA
<rant>

You hit the nail on the head.

After work drinks on Friday are enjoyable because they're informal and not (usually) arranged as a company initiative. It's a chance to let off the work related stress with a group of people in a similar situation while being on neutral territory.

Don't want to come to Friday after work drinks? Sweet, have a good afternoon. I'll be smashing a pint with/without you.

Friday Zoom drinks from 5-6PM can die. No, I don't want to sit in a quasi-optional meeting with 25 people arranged by HR/management. It's not comparable to shooting the shit with a selection of staff that have formed a connection organically.

The best way to determine the success/failure of Friday drinks is the percentage of people still present at 6:05PM. It's at least 50% below the 5:55PM number. At a local bar/pub, it's pretty stable until 7-8 and you're usually an hour past talking pure "work" shit.

I think your example makes it clearer that it won't be a very subtle a bug to find, but rather completely broken behaviour where only the first case is ever triggered. That should be much simpler to test against. Granted, this breaks down if you're matching by the number of values, possibly other cases.

To be honest, I feel I like the (sort-of-) "forced namespacing" of matching constants this brings. It should be an easy habit to discipline too, the rule being very simple:

"if you don't want to use literals in your matching, you must plug them in an enumeration"

Too bad that enumeration can't be a PEP 435 enum without adding an ugly `.value` accessor to each case, though.
One advantage of mercurial is that it is less tied to a specific file format like git is. It is much easier to make a mercurial backend for a system which actually stores the code in a different way (for example a distributed data store).

>everyone needs a car that just sits around idly 95% of the time is ludicrous.

I've never understood this argument. People don't trash their cars like broken appliances. Most cars get driven until they crumble to dust at the 300k mile mark. Whether a car is idle is completely irrelevant.

There are problems with cars and dependent city planning but utilization rates of cars is not one of them. Far from it.

You can name the variables in the format string and then pass the expressions as keyword parameters.
That's an interesting point. Curious, would you use a project which supports a simple/in-memory datastore, but not anything which would be useful in production environment? Do you think that easy to get running and setup in dev environment valuable for adoption - even if it won't work in prod?

This is just depressing. I just sat through an Amazon virtual career fair presentation where they talked about leadership, agility, and serving customers. In any other context I would apply to Amazon as a student, those values are nice and they have really interesting technical challenges. However, I do not understand why they would willingly do business with a company building infrastructure to perpetuate crimes against humanity.

Curious as how it's "better". I have in all honestly only ever used git.
OSM discourages adding raw GPS tracks to the map, rather they should only be uploaded to a sort of waiting room hosted on OSM's infrastructure. A GPS track from a phone or unit is something that needs to be carefully examined, compared to other GPS tracks from the region or aerial imagery, and then tweaked and refined. You need to be able to use specialized mapping software properly in order to contribute tracks to OSM. The good news is that the barrier to entry is fairly low for people like you and me on this "news for nerds" site.
I reckon because anything beyond spontaneously go for drinks or dinner is a big pain in the ass to organize as soon as like more than 2-3 people/opinions are involved.
Git didn't exist until Linus Torvalds sat down and hacked it out in a few weeks during 2005. I remember using SDL back in '99 to play with game development on Windows 98. So the short answer is, git wasn't even an idea in its creators head when SDL was around and thriving.

IMHO when you see a design decision that seems odd to you, it's a good opportunity to investigate the entire context around that design, rather than pepper the devs/issues/comment threads/etc. with pointed questions, "Why did you do X when Y is now clearly better??".
