I don't know if I even know what "being consistent" would mean given the example here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26082225

We don't shadow variables when they are re-used in comprehensions for example:

>>> i = 4
>>> [i for i in range(10)]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> i
4

Given they're already accepting the oddity of having "case 404:" and "case variable:" mean very different things, I think they should have just gone the whole way and _not_ mutated outside variables. There seems to be little consistent with this addition to the language.
You said during working hours and then you say 5 ET. That's after working hours. Especially for me, as I start before 9...
That's a stretch. The purpose of that law was to prevent public unlicensed public performances, such as playing a song over a public address system to a crowd at a park, not someone listening to their personal cell phone at normal volumes.

It would certainly not be good if we set a legal precedent that it's illegal to listen to music at any volume that a nearby person could hear or record.
Not just in US.. Here in Spain too. It's really great. Especially niche things like walking tracks are super accurate whereas on Google Maps I'm walking in one big grey square :D
Thanks for that feedback on the SVG loading. That's really helpful. Just curious, what browser are you using?

I think the core difference between ManicTime and Rize is that Rize is built solely for the individual developer/user. ManicTime (and other time trackers) have plans for individuals but make their money from teams/agencies/freelancers that use them as time sheets or for billing purposes.

Rize is built for the individual user to help them be more productive. It's sort of like a fitness app (Fitbit/Apple Watch) but for your work.

There are also two value props that I'd highlight for Rize on top showing you how you spend your time: improving your ability to focus and preventing burnout.

Rize has a built in focus score that will show you in depth metrics on how much focus time you're getting, how you're context switching, and which specific apps/websites are most distracting.

Rize also has automatic and manual break timers and break score. It's great for using the Pomodoro technique and helping you avoid overworking. Rize will also track your work hours and alert you when you've reached a certain threshold (also to help avoid overworking).
Is this because Google has increased the api pricing and people have switched to OSM?
I also found it kinda funny. And even more so that the cop is playing Sublime, and had to skip right past "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" (a song about participating in the Rodney King riots) to get to Santeria, assuming he has the album.

It is obnoxious though, we are expected to act in good faith with the ocifers, but they don't do the same.
I still remember, all the way back in the Nixon era, my dad grumbling: "Most people just want to be ruled by a king."

But I think a symbolic monarchy could serve a useful purpose by giving those people a ceremonial role in return for promising that they will never attempt to actually govern.

Edit: Deleted first sentence per comment below.
We are already in the midst of the most recent Bitcoin bubble.
Odd to pick HRBlock/Intuit as they are used for convenience and because we don't have a central system like Sweden and have in the US 50 different states and territories with 50+ different tax rules and so many edge cases in existence it's almost the rule than the exception each individual has one.

Likewise these consultants are not just coming in and pointing their fingers at the obvious ICS on the internet. They are also providing services to understand why they were attached in the first place and where that process broke down, how to keep the current ease with which to operate the system, and implement the transitions.
"Facebook is a neutral carrier here, and they acted on behalf of the user..."

I think that argument is fatally flawed.

The issue with all these user data cases is that the license between the user and Facebook does not restrict how Facebook can use the data. Not simply the data the user submits[1] but the data that Facebook involuntarily collects from the user.

1. This always seems to be how outside observers define "the user's data". They believe it is the data (e.g., photos, etc.) that the user has submitted to Facebook. Facebook may be an optimal place to store photos, etc. Regardless of whether that is true, that is not what is at issue. The issue is what use Facebook is permitted. Can it use the data a user submits any way that it chooses. Yes, it can. Can Facebook collect data on the user, based on their usage, and other sources. Yes, they can. The user has no control over how Facebook uses that data. This is the "loss of control".

It is not always concerned with "transfers" of data, necessarily. It is concerned with how Facebook may use the data it receives from users (knowingly/voluntarily or unknowingly/involuntarily) to support its business. Users pay nothing to Facebook so obviously the data, Facebook's primary asset, is going to be used in ways that generate revenue for Facebook. Users have no say in the decisions over how the data will be used, yet it is "their data" (or data about them). Can it be used in academic research. Yes, it can. Market research. Yes. Users have no control over these uses. It is not simply a matter of changing some setting, which Facebook is constantly fiddling with. It is a matter of the the license the user has with Facebook. The user has no enforceable rights throught that license to control how the data is used.

Emphatic no from me on that one.
> Why would someone want to contribute to a bullshit boot camp homework exersize? That seems literally the least likely thing to get any collaborators on.

You've misunderstood, the coding boot camp assigns homework, and sometimes that homework is: "Contribute to an open source project!" This usually takes the form of something like a pull request to "Fix typos in README" or something otherwise insignificant. GP is just saying that however you release your FOSS project, you're unlikely to get even that tiny level of outside contribution, so using "no one will contribute" as an argument against a mailing list isn't very persuasive. The argument that mailing lists suck, perhaps more so, but GP didn't opine on that.
And then, even if they're tempted by the large amount of money, they probably get caught pretty quickly and get banned. Again, even if you can use another person's account to reputation launder, it's still a very transparent platform that's hard to pull stuff like this on.

The usual process for this with mobile apps is not to pay someone a lot of money to ship malware, but rather to buy the person's account, app, and the source code outright. This has the advantage of not having to be explicit about what you're up to, gives the original developer plausible deniability, and gives you way more control. Plus it makes reputation laundering way easier and since the app is still closed source you can make any changes you want without anyone being the wiser.

All of this is completely different from how community supported repositories are run.
Mercurial beats git in a fair bechmark on a large repository by now. As far as I know, no other DVCS received similar dedicated optimizations.

(Microsoft worked around git by shimming a fake file system driver below the local repository to make it scale enouth to cover the Windows codebase. It's all Windows exclusive and not part of git, so it doesn't really count).
You'd have to be prepared to get rid of the entire concept of the "head of state". The USA has proven quite well that having the head of government and head of state combined has substantial problems. A head of government needs to be somewhat competent and deliver results, but a head of state needs to project "gravitas", "dignitas", and other virtues. In the case of the UK, the prime minister has been relieved of the need to project these qualities and be a "mascot", but a US president has not.

In theory, the people themselves are the source of legitimacy for modern governments. But the media and some of the population demands a figurehead that provides centralized moral leadership.
I like my queen. The problem arises what happens when she leaves. The other family members are not likeable at all.
Replying to my own comment because it's too late to edit and I think I should clarify that I don't believe this myself; I'm more inclined to agree that "racist" is indeed a racial slur.

This is merely an attempt to understand their point of view. For those who believe that America is fundamentally built on structural racism, "a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people", as they claim, then it might seem reasonable to accuse every white person who accepts the status quo of being racist.

Much as it might seem reasonable to call everyone who's just trying to operate a business in America a capitalist, even if they have no strong opinions on political or economic systems and are just trying to sell food.
I don't know exactly what she does, but she always turns up and doesn't mess around or offend people, unlike the rest of her family.

She's like a grandma the nation respects, even though you suspect there might be a sinister side to her.
Github Actions is already a good reason to use Github over Gitlab. Also the pricing is much better with Github even for Github Enterprise. All kind of normal features are behind a $99/user/month fee.

I don't understand why things like vulnerability scanning needs to cost $80 per user more and then at the same not supporting multiple report files as artefacts in monorepo.

Good point. The relevant analogy is that in GraphQL the client defines the query that gets run and in REST the server defines the query that gets run. So one way you could architect Nx is to have your elixir running on the gpu node expose a handful of prebaked functions and allow your client elixir node issue requests to those prebaked functions ("REST"). But I think a bit more exciting would be to have your gpu node running a relatively dumb Nx server, and have your gpu-less client running Nx, where its math instructions get serialized using a thin "network device" backend instead of a "gpu backend", over to the gpu node, then the gpu node does the math and comes back with the answer ("GraphQL"). For even longer-haul operations you would want to do things like figure out how to represent datasets with tokens that are cached remotely. I think this all is possible, and, relatively easy with the Nx architecture.
What does a monarchy have to do with Jan 6? And how does a ceremonial role impact operations or anyone’s life?
Having only function, module, class, generator, etc. scope in Python before this PEP might have made sense, but they really should have added pattern matching scope to keep things sane here.

1994 is after eternal September https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

I have used Internet since 1989. Of course not at home, because that didn't exist.

In the early days every Internet user was implicitly trust-worthy. They all worked at universities or the like and meeting a scammer was highly unlikely, basically unheard of. I have visited several of them on another continent, just introduced by email. We helped each other buying goods that you could not buy in your country of residence before Amazon existed. We exchanged collectibles like paper money. It just worked, the check was in the mail a week or 2 later.

The first thing we had to learn is that aol.com addresses could not be trusted. That was still kind of easy, but since then it's only been downhill.
I agree with the premise that American soldiers are taught and display a more rigid rules of engagement abroad but I would be interested to see exactly what kind of ex-soldier becomes a police officer.

My suspicion is that the kinds of soldiers who become problem police officers are the soldiers who didn't actually face combat abroad. I imagine it's the kind of soldier who fantasized about front-line service but wasn't quite cut out for it for one reason or another and they've directed their disappointment about that into being an abusive police officer.
For billionaires, I agree with that.

For high-end millionaires (say $100 million or more), I can still get behind that.

For low-level millionaires who legitimately worked for their money and built their business, absolutely not. A million dollars is not a lot in 2021.

I say this as a not-millionaire.
The think the government paying artists directly would solve problems? It would create tons of problems and just end up as another broken system like everything else.
People have literally been calling for just that here. The "replacements" as proposed are not by any stretch of thr imagination what you might call a "police force".

Perhaps only coincidentally, the department is struggling to hire and crime- both violent and nonviolent- is up. My friend's workplace just finished reinstalling bullet proof glass due to the rise in shootings and rock throwings.

In a proper democracy, a group of elected officials convene and then give permission to the president to send you off to die.
<Be aware we Non-Whites we don't have the need to virtue signaling we just see the reality.

My family immigrated here from Mexico we literally had nothing and have risen to some of the highest peaks of usa society. It took hard work which is the complete opposite of what social justice warriors want. white people in this country are about the laziest I've ever seen out of anywhere I've ever been. The most privileged people I have ever seen armchair keyboard social justice warriors. They never traveled anywhere besides a secure resort by themselves, they never done anything by themselves, and don't know how the whole world works.

What's really laughable about this country is the whites have the power to help other minority groups like The blacks and erase the ghettos but the whites are too ignorant and arrogant to even accept that there's a problem too afraid to even talk about it because "it's racist"
Type annotation and mypy, while better than nothing, is a hack and doesn't always properly work so in a real codebase you'd be using `# type: ignore` quite often even if all of your downstream code is properly type-annotated and mypy-typechecked.

Most importantly though, it does not make Python statically typed, by no means. It just lets you lint stuff in a semantic fashion (which is helpful, no doubt), improves auto-completion and removes the need of listing type requirements in docstrings.
I thought I was helping the world by fixing things on google maps. That will be a perpetual reminder for how naive I can be.

Thank you for engaging the other commenter and articulating my stance better than I could have. Also - while I have deep respect (I truthfully do) for the expertise of folks who teach this material - I have lost patience for their patronising tones and unhelpful assumptions about the folks that might read this book and books like it.

The world needs an algorithms book that shows a modicum of humility to its readers. A book that assumes that more than simple children are reading it (incidentally, and in a puzzling contradiction - also using needlessly convoluted English to express ideas). Hopefully I can do something about that ‘one day’.

False dichotomy. You don't have to sign up for a contract that give them even ceremonial powers forever or behead them in grotesque violence.

It is possible to negotiate a deal where they have no power and get to keep their properties but they have to maintain it themselves.
I think arguments about electricity consumption of Bitcoin are purely a waste of energy.

I know of zero people who used to like Bitcoin but are turned off by energy consumption. Bitcoin has the potential to make huge portions of the finance industry obsolete: how much energy does the finance industry as a whole use? How do we make a valid comparison? Does anyone have an amount of power consumption reduction that they think would make Bitcoin use justified for the functionality it provides?

The only time I see people arguing against Bitcoin based on power consumption, it seems like the speaker already had a distaste for Bitcoin and latched onto the power consumption argument because it's easy to state and you don't have to understand the technology or economics to use the argument. There is no call to action or suggestion, it's just "See? Bitcoin is bad." I see it as just a method to mollify the insecurities and regret from not recognizing that Bitcoin was going to be valuable back when they first heard about it.

If you saw a website that showed the power consumption of all internet services, would you find that to be a compelling reason to change the way you interact with the internet?
How do you get recognized by practicing musicians? Could I generate white noise and pay them a cut of my future government hand outs so they would approve my white noise as music?

Ask HN: Why is Lua not favored by more SaSS for business logic?
I've been reading extensively about Lua's prevalence in the game industry, and how well it handles primary game logic and game extensibility/modding while C/C++/etc can be reserved for mission-critical engine needs, etc.

From the code I've read, Lua is easy to read and I hear it's really great to write in, and it's performance seems to be quite high.

Comparatively in the startup and SaSS world I almost never hear about it. Is there any profound reason why? Is it because it doesn't quite fit into web technology stacks as well? Is Lua simply better when we're talking about high-performing desktop apps, where the painful alternative is to simply do it all in C/C++/Rust?
The farmer in the article got what he considers a good quality used tractor for $18,000. How will you convince him to buy one from your new, untested company?

Your private encryption key only can be used to decrypt the messages sent to you. Anyone with your public key can create a message to you. Without the signature there is actually no cryptographic proof that you created a particular message.

The really interesting thing about the PGP case is that you can do this and still insure that no one does a MITM attack on your messages. The encryption key is signed by the signature key (identity). So you can verify the identity but still leave no identity laying around.
According to the FBI, the national case clearance rate was 13.9% for burglary and 30.4% for robbery in 2018. That means that for the average US citizen who reports one of the crimes you mention there is a ~70-85% chance that the police will show up and accomplish exactly nothing.

The highest case clearance rates were for violent crime and aggravated assault (45.5% and 52.5%, respectively). These crimes typically occur between people who already know each other, and yet it's basically a coin flip whether the police will deliver a case for prosecution.

It's not "inevitable". They could have required local variables in case statements to be local to that case statement. It would have required changes to the "scope is synonymous with dictionary attached to some object" idea or maybe it would have required a dictionary to be attached to a case statement. I personally think local scope should have been viewed as a hard requirement if they were to introduce this to the language.
Actually yea - I can't deny that your proposed person is pretty likely to go into policing after serving in the military. But I do think that people with a strong sense of civil service would also be likely to follow that path, people (generally speaking) aren't going into the military for glory - a lot of folks do it out of civil obligation and another large slice is there since it's a good way to get some economic mobility.

That said, yea, glory hounds would make really scary police officers.
One of the most important things I learned about SPF records was that the entire record had to be under 256 bytes. We were sending out emails from multiple servers on one domain, and were having so many deliverability issues because the SPF record had too many entries in it and would be seen as invalid by some spam firewalls. Once I cleaned up the record and split some email out to subdomains our delivery rates went way up. But of course as others mentioned SPF is just the beginning. DKIM, DMARC, reverse records, etc are all very important as well.
