Boolean Headache
today i had to do some refactoring and came across this piece of python code (using requests)

400 >= response.status_code

i first read it as "status of response has to be higher than or equal to 400" but then i read it again a few times (read 10+) with increasing levels of headache and realized i read it all wrong, it was "status_code needs to be less than or equal to 400"

i realized switching the statement the other way around made my headache go away;

response.status_code <= 400

now its clear to me, myself and I: "status_code needs to be less than or equal to 400"

i realized i had suffered a brief encounter with boolean headache inducing syntax

anybody felt the same anytime?
> I see proponents of Bitcoin always mention comparisons to the entirety of the finance industry, but I've yet to see numbers back that up? All we can see right now is that Bitcoin uses more power per transaction. Comparing it to the entirety of the finance industry is perhaps taking the physical presence of the industry in to account, but do people assume a crypto future would be completely digital? Would you have no need for finance buildings for in person consulting etc? Perhaps. But that's several leaps of faith. If Bitcoin somehow took over the entire financial industry, would it be more power efficient than it is today?

The irony with this argument is that Coinbase, Binance and other exchanges are all part of the "finance industry". The elusive "finance industry" will always consume more energy, by definition.

Interesting!

I've been thinking of running OCR on video frames. I'd also like to do speech-to-text extraction for searching my archives later (have about 4TB of video to trawl through, and desire text-based search capabilities). It's an interesting space to explore, but everything's been moving to web-service at a cost-prohibitive model.
Adding pattern matching to a language as big as Python is not only good for Python, but for smaller languages with the feature, as it introduces people to the concept. Imo.

As you say, it can't be understated just how much of a conceptual leap git was.

It wasn't developed in a vacuum. And there were several interesting distributed open source version control systems around at the time. After moving on from CVS and Subversion, I tried using Arch (tla) for a project. It was interesting, but still tied to the old way of thinking of version control as a series of deltas, both in its conceptual model and in its storage implementation. In fact, its storage was a tarball of a "base revision" plus a series of patches. Checking out a branch meant unpacking the tarball and applying patches in sequence. It was distributed, and elegant in its own way, but it didn't make the conceptual leap which Linus took with git.

In contrast, the hash-based blob/tree/commit model of git was groundbreaking. The storage doesn't use deltas (except as an implementation detail--as an optimisation in pack files). Deltas are computed on demand. Operations on and synchronising between blob stores is simple and fast. That one change is what made git revolutionary. It opened the door for doing so much more with the version control system.

Still, others took that step around the same time, and the git interface is not what one would call intuitive. But for various reasons it had the momentum and took the crown. It's not perfect, but it's still an absolutely superb tool.

Parliament. A cabinet needs approval of a majority in parliament. At that stage of the process, the monarch has no influence, even now. I'm not sure who decides whether or not to hold new elections, but I'm pretty sure it's not the monarch.

Replacing Google Photos with Self Hosted Alternatives
15 or so years ago, eBay appeared to be buying adverts for all noun searches on Google. Certainly when I searched for “plutonium” and “antimatter” and a few other ridiculous keywords, I saw ads telling me I could “buy it cheap on eBay”. I tried this experiment in response to news stories criticising eBay for the same with the nouns “women” and “slaves”.

Basically tier-1 targets must have tests run on CI for every merged commit. If anybody have a way to do that for their interest platforms, that's a huge step in making it to tier-1 platform support.
A previous mistake does not make a convincing argument for making a new mistake. Also, the mutable default arguments problem is quite difficult to solve in any other way. Python never copies things for you.

Pattern matching is a desired feature, but the shortcomings are too costly for what it provides. You just outlined yourself the quickest foot-gun I've ever seen.

My second problem is that this violates many of the invariants you rely on while programming Python. f(x) always gives you the value of applying f to x. Nope, not in case. | means bitwise or. Nope, not in case. a means the value of a. NOPE. Not in case.

Why? That represents exactly what I've said. Neoliberals are right-wing classical liberals. The points on the pamphlet you link are typical positions of classical liberals. They are right-wing because there is no worker's protection and social welfare on the list. Right-wing and left-wing liberals gave different answers to the "Social Question" that arose during 19th Century Manchester Capitalism. It concerned child labour, inherited debt, and the crippling of workers in factories.

Left-wing liberals considered it a task of the state to protect workers and children because only with a certain level of protection they would be able to exercise their individual freedom. You're not free in this view if you have inherited debts from your grandparents, for instance. Right-wing liberals instead took these issues to be self-regulatory and did not want the state to interfere. Neoliberals stand in the second tradition.

I don't like Bitcoin, precisely because it's just a deflationary currency. The fact that deflationary pressure drives energy consumption higher is just a nice bonus on the list of reasons why Bitcoin shouldn't exist.

Samsung has below-root-level access on their phones, their apps are fundamentally aggressive towards your privacy (as repeatedly demonstrated in practice) and impossible to dig out without a complete image replacement. Maybe not even then.

If you care about privacy, you don't buy Samsung phones (or other products like TVs). They are the tip of the spear on data collection.
It might apply to some traditions. However, for others, this is more accurate:

"Tradition is a set of solutions for problems that don't exist anymore".

An example of the latter that immediately springs to mind is circumcision.
Before entering politics, Vladimir Putin was a member of the KGB
From childhood, Vladimir Putin dreamed of joining the KGB, the Soviet Union’s secret police force. He was eager to follow in his father’s footsteps — so eager, in fact, that he called up the local Leningrad KGB office and asked to join before he’d even graduated school.
> I really don't understand why anyone anywhere in the modern world would want someone to rule over them

There's currently a government in Westminster making laws and dictating to us that the vast majority of the country didn't vote for. The public also has the power to change a monarchy, with the only real difference being that the "election" and transfer of power is less peaceful.

Democracy is of course better, but representative democracies in large nations are about as participatory as a monarchy.
Thanks a lot! I was aware of anarcho-syndicalism but didn't know that they also used the term "libertarian"! I will read up on it (because this topic comes up again and again nowadays).
Roughly 9~ concurrent streams (if we're talking uncompressed blurays) assuming the network infrastructure is dedicated. OTOH If talking Netflix 4k, the number of streams capable here is just about infinite :)
I would guess they didn't put different adds on different words, so, those words had the exact same adds as every other word.
There's an OpenTopoMap too, at least on Android. I think it's amazing how much information on the world around us we can now get with almost no effort and cost.
It won't be just companies. It'll be developers, sysops, etc who npm install a bazillion of packages, because the core language and libaries are not enough. Those people have keys, credentials and access to the internal networks.
Sadly, technical greatness alone doesn’t make a good indicator for lifespan or widespread adoption. And maintaining a relevant evolution path of a programming language alive, with all the compiler tool chain, is a really huge challenge.

As a linguist, I can assure you that there is no 'linguistic' concept of a context-free grammar as distinct from the mathematical concept.

A language being non-context-free just means that the string language doesn't fall within a certain class. It in fact took quite a while to show conclusively that English was not context-free; it's far from obvious.

None of this has anything to do with 'context' in the sense we're talking about here.

> Why? Because we've given you more choices to express yourself?

1. Make up a new word 2. Give people the choice to use the new word 3. Destroy them if they choose not to.

Sure.

> Racism is still very much alive today

Try criticising the government in china and you will soon realise that censorship is also very much alive today. Not that this makes a difference in either case, of course.

> so I'm not sure how freedom of expression is much closer to you today than racism is for Blacks.

Forst of all, "Blacks": https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-3014.pdf

Second, black people exist outside of america, in case you didn't know. So mentioning them as just "blacks" already shows a rather narrow view of the world.

Freedom of expression is closer to me than racism. Racism is probably closer to many black Americans than freedom of expression. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't intentionally misunderstand that just to have a ridiculous strawman to argue against.
That's just for R&D. You still need a culture and policy that rewards deploying carbon capture on large scales.

What type of meditation did you try? Try following / counting breaths. Definitely counting in the beginning, breathe out, 1, breathe in, breathe out, 2, breathe in ... up to 10, then re-start to 1. Do it for 20 min before falling asleep. Then as you try to fall asleep do the same.

Don't be discouraged if it's not working right away. It has to work but you may need months of training before it starts to work well.

The hardest challenge is to be completely cold to the thoughts, no matter how important they may seem, ignore them and return to counting the breaths.
MONNBLANC principles for OOP: a new old way of object design
For what it's worth, I tried a modified version of the first example you've used above in the sandbox:

NOT_FOUND = 404
match get_status():
case NOT_FOUND:
print("Here")
# this actually assigns to the global NOT_FOUND
# and is effectively the default case
case _:
# this never gets triggered
print("There")

I got a meaningful error:

It's total bullshit. France got rid of their monarchy a long time ago and it's not like their tourist industry suffers.
And what happens if that head of state decides to overrule the Parliament on a whim? Is it even meaningful to talk about an entire population having "whims", as that's a term normally reserved for individuals.

People can afford to take edgy contrarian positions on the basics of democracy because they take it for granted. The Queen is not an abusive monarch and never has been, in fact she's been so scrupulously symbolic that her actual political views are almost entirely obscure. So here we see arguments of the form "maybe Parliament should have to bend to the whims of the Queen".

The Queen is 94. How many more years can she carry on? When she dies, Prince Charles will take her place and he has always been politically active in ways the Queen has not. Does the idea of Charles vetoing legislation sound fun or in any way appropriate for a first world democracy? No, it does not.

I don't like the Guardian at all but it's good that they're bringing this to light, or rather, it would, if they were actually revealing the documents in question. It seems this article isn't going to do so, which means we are being asked to trust the Graun. Unfortunately I don't trust the Graun so this is a bit of a pickle. What's being said here sounds plausible, and there's really no reason for such a process to exist at all, but it could also be shit-stirring.

The largest US ISP does. I had to email Comcast's CEO last year after weeks went by stuck with 3 motorola/arris modems receiving a broken provisioning file. I CC'd every other employee I had spoken with. Prior to this support couldn't escalate, reddit was worthless, and dslreports only further confirmed my issue.

Within 12 hours of emailing him this I was on the phone with an engineer that resolved the issue.

EDIT: T-Mobile's CTO Neville once dispatched a cell on light truck to my town after I asked him on Twitter. We had a large annual weekend event anticipating >50k attendance and it usually cratered the network locally. Finally with the truck things were mostly usable.

It's pretty cool.

About the province's name though: it's Fryslân (West Frisian (a language spoken in the province) and official Dutch), Frisia (English), or Friesland (Dutch vernacular).

The reason it is called 'Friesland' on English language Wikipedia has to with the fact that there are (seemingly) no acceptable sources that can prove that Frisia is what most Frisian folk call their province in English, and what English speaking folk that have some dealings with the province do too. Of course, often the official West Frisian and Dutch name of 'Fryslân' is used as well in various documents and publications, but due to a number of non-Frisian Dutch Wikipedians who hate that the official name can be used in English instead of the Dutch vernacular 'Friesland' (language politics, often bordering on rather nasty nationalistic sentiments), English Wikipedia uses the vernacular Dutch name that is neither the common exonym (Frisia) nor the official name and endonym (Fryslân).

I disagree on the assessment of your picks of the GP's comments, and I'd urge everyone to read through them as well.

None of them is "mean/rude". Perhaps not watered-down to the modern PC norms, but they are perfectly fine and would've not been out of place in an in-person conversation.

You appear to be mistaking expressing an opinion for showing a disrespect or trying to offend someone. That's a slippery slope.

My only critique is that I wish the creator hadn't used JPG images - there are clear compression artifacts that appear towards the edge of the screen as one image transitions to another.
Ahh. I thought it was another one of those AI generated effects.

Human-equivalent AGI is not sufficient for doing better than human moderation, despite all the problems with current generation AI content moderation.

The reason it isn’t sufficient to be human-level is because individual humans have all kinds of biases and blindspots which scammers design their scams around.

I’m kinda thinking it may be a necessary prerequisite, as scams could involve anything a human wants, but it isn’t enough.
Ha, I always wondered how long it would take for me to repeat a conversation here with someone! I figured it was only a matter of time. Now I know how much. :)
Just a side note, but automatic removal of music would be a good application for AI based DSP processing. There are already companies offering VSTs and hardware for the removal of street noise, dogs barking, etc., but I'm not aware of products for removing background music.

Such a product would be interesting for every Youtuber, not just broadcasters. I've seen them literally flee scenes in travel videos because of some music in the background.
It specifically says: OSM does NOT pre-render every tile. Pre-rendering all tiles would use around 54 TB of storage

that 54TB figure is only if you pre-render into raster every zoom level of every tile for the whole world. a more typical self hosted openstreetmap renders the tiles on demand as you scroll or move the map.

Disk space usage is MUCH less, such that my test/development setup fits well on a virtual machine with 300GB of disk space on a 12TB hard drive that cost $145. By this measurement I believe it's using just under 4 dollars of disk space, 8 dollars if you count its duplicate where it gets backed up to.
