Isn’t that the whole purpose of this thread? There’s a trend of projects doing exactly what you just said.

They don’t want that happening so they use a non-permissive license.

Cue the holy war over the definition of open source.
As part of your job, do you have to context switch a lot ?
Or do you end up working across different parts of the system in the same day ?
Yeah this random blog post from 2018 is definitely why Oracle started Project Loom in 2017.

Pre-2010, the MSM was often wrong but only slightly biased: journalists made an effort to find 2 sources. Sure, owners and local real estate developers had a lot of influence.

Today, the MSM is literally fake news that conforms to leftist/DNC dogma. See my other post in this thread for why.

You can see this in the common use of narrative keywords like "no widespread election fraud" and "insurrection" across multiple MSM media properties. Everybody knows there is always election fraud (voters moving to another state and voting in their old state is considered voting fraud by the FEC), but inserting "widespread" in the phrase makes it easy to keep moving the goalpost.

For me this formula works like magic because I can't control my mind from constantly iterating when starting new projects so I use this as a chemical brake.
I use a food delivery service (website only, no app) that doesn’t even remember the chosen language setting, and of course, never keeps you logged in past 24hrs. So effectively, need to login every time I make an order...
Thanks for the clarification. I understand it's more about "exploratory" refactoring.

Thinking further I might have silently adopted a self-imposed "keep track of edit states and memoization in the wetware stack" approach, which I realize now is something that is far more exhausting than offloading to the tools whose purpose it is to show where the missing bits are.
sounds like every enterprise company.
Yes, things were so much less partisan in the good old days, when fascists and leftists would start armed revolutions and civil wars.
Why not read the post and cite the parts you find off-the-rails, then?
This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they film the Radioactive Man film in Springfield, and the citizens and the mayor start doing ludcrious things to enrich themselves at the filmmakers' expense. Like in that episode, the end result of this isn't more money for locals, but companies leaving, a weaker economy and worse outcomes for everyone involved.
No, not at scale. You may be discouraged, but there's someone who will have lots of fun breaking that specific feature.

See for example @jonasLyk who spent the last half a year (?) trying to abuse almost only the alternative streams and junction folders in windows.
And even then, the complaint was dropped and youtube-dl's repo was restored.

Is this a ( lack of ) capital issue or simply an uncertain sustainable revenue stream issue?
You've probably heard this but the science says you'll "condition" your mind to sleep better if you associate the bed with just sleeping (and possibly that other thing). But try not to read, watch videos etc for extended periods of time in bed, and you will get naturally wind down and fall into "sleep mode" once you get in bed.
Because every Greenwald story is the same story:

'THE SKY IS FALLING! THE ELITES ARE LYING! THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE IN BED WITH THE ELITES! ONLY I GLENN GREENWALD AM TRUSTWORTHY! BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO DEPLATFORM ME! SHARE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! BWARARARAHWHHWGAG!"

Meanwhile what's his deal? He accuses The Intercept of skullduggery because they dared edit him. Substack is most likely secretly subsidizing him to write there. I see him publish on Conrad "Trump pardoned me after I wrote a nice book about him" Black's NationalPost that the American press is in bed with Biden.

Granted, I am biased: at this point, 2021, populism enrages me like nothing else. Being on the internet feels like I'm trapped in some plonker's smoky dorm room.
Everything needs maintenance in some form, whether organic or not. The only limitation for inorganics right now is an incapability of self-maintenance. We do it through many ways in our biology: nutrients from diet, exercise (on purpose or just day-to-day activities) for muscles & cardiovascular health. On top of that humanity added its own methods, namely everything done in healthcare & pharmaceuticals.
John Le Carre is one of my favorite authors. It was a great pleasure to discover that his son is a great author on his own right — his novel Gnomon is absolutely amazing.

Or rather, I should say, I read this great book titled Gnomon after a random Amazon recommendation, and it turned out the author is the son of John Le Carre. It's only a shame he doesn't publish more often.

Hiro Protagonist and Vitaly Chernobyl, roommates, are chilling out in their home, a spacious 20-by-30 in a U-Stor-It in Inglewood, California. The room has a concrete slab floor, corrugated steel walls separating it from the neighboring units, and-this is a mark of distinction and luxury -- a roll-up steel door that faces northwest, giving them a few red rays at times like this, when the sun is setting over LAX. From time to time, a 777 or a Sukhoi/Kawasaki Hypersonic Transport will taxi in front of the sun and block the sunset with its rudder, or just mangle the red light with its jet exhaust, braiding the parallel rays into a dappled pattern on the wall.But there are worse places to live.

There are much worse places right here in this U-Stor-It. Only the big units like this one have their own doors. Most ofthem are accessed via a communal loading dock that leads to a maze of wide corrugated-steel hallways and freight elevators. These are slum housing, 5-by-lOs and 10-by-lOs where Yanoama tribespersons cook beans and parboil fistfuls of coca leaves over heaps of burning lottery tickets.

It is whispered that in the old days, when the U-Stor-It was actually used for its intended purpose (namely, providing cheap extra storage space to Californians with too many material goods), certain entrepreneurs came to the front office, rented out 1O-by-lOs using fake IDs, filled them up with steel drums full of toxic chemical waste, and then abandoned them, leaving the problem for the U-Stor-It Corporation to handle. According to these rumors, U-Stor-It just padlocked those units and wrote them off. Now, the immigrants claim,certain units remain haunted by this chemical specter. It is a story they tell their children, to keep them from trying to break into padlocked units.
It's "swab", not "Covid test SWAP company".
I learnt during my studies (can't remember the exact name or details of it) that seeing a product through 7 different channels (print ad, TV commercial, etc.) will leave you under the impression of knowing and thus trusting a product.
Of course other factors come into play, but in front of the yogurt aisle for example, (given similar tastes, packaging styles, prices, etc.) you'll be much more likely to buy the one you've heard of through many channels, rather than the one you've barely heard of. Even if you've tasted none before.

If somebody recognizes this approach, I'd love to know the name of it

Edit: it could be the mere exposure effect mentioned in the other comment, but I'm pretty sure the number of different channels had a play in the process.
He also used money from his books to do some in depth, almost journalistic research for subsequent ones. Eg. as soon as the USSR had fallen he traveled to Russia.
I try not context switch. My strategy is to focus on one thing get it done and then move to the next. Sort of like going through a To-Do list. I add rechecking time in all tasks I do. It happens a lot more while texting, slack massages, or quick -short emails than on big project because of repeated checks.
yes sorry, those were rhetorical questions. Your point about asking you fail to see why not using a blocking executor to deal with the async code. My problem is with needing the executor at all. I must have skipped a couple of you previous pints in this thread. Apologies about that...

Maybe we should start trying to think about async as being something can use if they want and ignore if they want. Code being async compatible rather than async required.
> With nurseries, where do I create a nursery

One option would be to have main() create and pass the nursery when it initializes the asynchronous logger.

main() would have to wait for all logging to complete, but nothing else would.
> and the plates destroyed

Can you point out where you wrote that in your previous comment?

I don't have an issue with experience being a necessary part of consciousness. My problem is that it doesn't seem to be sufficient, by a long shot.
nice prjoect
If this is what you mean by "proper value types" then I think that the "value type" term is bloated. For me value types mean value semantics and what you describe are mostly optimizations. I like the point of Eric Lippert, that value types is not the same as "should live on stack" as a lot of people think.

I would agree that things like

> - using without IDispose for structs without implicit boxing

and

> - generics for blittable types

would make value types more "proper" in the C# language.
Your rights under law matter.

I bang on about the idea of a MOOP - where our daily behaviour is monitored (by phones) and then can be used to improve our lives - from basic budgeting to helping us with communication styles and relationship advice (94% of husbands with marriages rated happy would stop now and not continue this argument. Press any key)

But to do that demands medical levels of trust around the behaviour data - a d that needs both law and culture to be relentlessly clear about the trust levels.

A leak of your argument rate with your kids should be seen as similar as a leak of your heart rate.

And because all these things are linked, perhaps your credit rating should be seen as protected as your medical records.

Anyway, this is a form of predatory lending - they cannot charge 1000% APR so charge it implicitly through the threat of losing a phone. Only the desperate will apply - which should be a very good reason for not giving the loan.

(Then again, perhaps putting the app out there is a good signal that the lender should go to jail immmediately and be banned from financial industry. )
Fwiw, "rape x" is exactly what I read your email as before I read the other comment saying the same.
To save the SD card mostly. I log to a ring buffer in RAM.

I've had my Raspberry Pis kill dozens of SD cards over the years, so read only can helas for updates, I manually remount read/write when I do maintenance and then remount read/only again when I'm done.
~6 hours is a strange place. It's so close to sustainable but just doesn't feel great.
You're reading too much in my words, but I don't agree, I think: if it's perceived as X, there is something in it that makes it stand out as X. It may not be exactly what we think it is, but it does exist.
> Their prices start at $0.025/GB/month, so renting 1TB of storage for a year would cost $300

I came to the same conclusion. I was aware of rsync.net and tarsnap, and have checked their prices in the past, but for raw storage it's simply not competitive. Some of the other features they offer might make it worth it though if you need those.

Personally i just need a place to dump a backup of my family photo albums and documents. A full backup is around 1TB (deuplicated, somewhat larger raw), and for that there are much cheaper solutions.
I've found this too. When I'm knee-deep in code, my brain gets locked into "problem mode" and it can't recompose itself for communicating with others like a normal human being.

I need a good 2-3 hours away from the problem before my brain relaxes and I can actually talk without sounding like I'm stoned or mildly autistic.
> "The HN crowd is as biased as anybody else."

As much I loathe self-aggrandizement, I wish this were true so that people weren't so generally wrong and biased.

Most people end up highly correlating to the beliefs they were brought up in.

Most people suddenly start tuning into politics and immediately think they understand issues like economics way out of their league, and understand better than people whose PhD and job it is. Of course if someone were to come tell them their initial impression of their career is more knowledgeable than them, they would laugh immensely.

In many places I see most people sharing things that are completely one-sided and often easily debunked by elementary critical thinking. HN barely registers on the wave of cruft that is the rest of people's political opinions.

It's just too bad it has to come from both sides of NYT and echo_chamber_rant.blogspot.com.
btw the post says OpenPose but I meant PoseNet. Dunno how I made that mistake..
I found that doing this had no negative effect on my career. I still got glowing reviews and never had an issue finding work.

I think we generally earn enough not to sell the best years our lives for an extra 20%. I don't think I'll lie on my death bed and wish I spent more time at the office. Hell, I wish I earned less and spent more time elsewhere.

Of course one can decide whether they should suffer or not. That's why there's a movement to legalize drugs for terminally ill patients. Your belief that people should suffer till the end of their days is actually quite disgusting.

Also, just because someone takes their own life doesn't mean they lack honor. In fact, Japanese samurais has a ritual of committing suicide known as seppuku which is viewed as a very honorable thing to do in their culture.
IMO, that's just relabeling, and in a strict sense only part of what I consider consciousness. E.g., self-awareness is not implied by meta-cognition.
I think the loan rate is the only predatory thing here.

They're putting this app on phones for a reason: people would just keep the phones without paying and it's impossible to retrieve them cost-efficiently. Most services stop working if you stop paying.
I actually compared K3s with Docker Swarm in my master's thesis where i also wrote a simply Python tool to automate setting up servers for deploying containerized workloads on then.

While i can't really share the text (because it's all in Latvian), i did find that K3s is a pretty good option for when you want to use Kubernetes, but have pretty limited hardware resources. So much so, actually, that it used only slightly more resources than Docker Swarm (and, as a consequence, the deployments that were running on the nodes could serve almost equal amounts of requests under load).

Personally, i do believe that Kubernetes is sometimes overrated for simpler deployments, but if people don't mind the manifest syntax and are comfortable with the tool and its ecosystem, i think that K3s is probably the way to go in those situations (maybe with something like Portainer/dashboard running for graphical administration, if necessary). Such a good distribution, could probably even run it in prod with a HA setup.
I started reading this article strongly disagreeing with it, but am convinced to the point that I would really like to try this in practice.

My initial disagreement was centered in that nurseries seemed overly optimized for the "do a bunch of processing in parallel and then return a result" use case. This seems nice, but not necessary as Go's channel and waitgroup privatives solve this easily enough.

My concerns were around use cases that I can initially think of, which don't fit this easy mold:

- Running servers, with connections handled on threads (eg, typical Go http.ListenAndServe). However this works with nurseries very well (when it doesn't with, eg, parallel do). I expect that if I have that server run, it will only return with an error or having been stopped, and that all the pending connections will have been finalized.

- Game engines: If I want to write a concurrent game engine, I don't want to be constantly creating and removing threads. Instead I want to spawn several well organized threads, some with their own tasks, others working from a shared pool. I want this processes to exist for the entirety of the time the game is running, so do I really need nurseries to manage cleanup and reuniting processes? That characteristic doesn't solve any significant problems. However, the statement that if you want to allow a function to run something in the background, you need to pass it an already opened nursery is convincing. This structures the main function to likely have a nursery created for the engine game engine process, and passed to the various systems which need to start background threads. This should make the important reasoning about carefully scheduling work clearer to look at and trace.

- I recently worked on a project where we had a large volume of queries on fast changing data, with reasonably limited total data requirements. The solution was to have a background thread do the following:
1. Collect all waiting requests.
2. Update the internal cache with the state of the entire system.
3. In parallel let the various requests run their queries on the cached state.
4. Wait for the queries to finish, before restarting with #1.
This enforces that requests always get state which is ordered after the request started (so create then query won't have a race condition), and is easy to reason about as the state of the cache cleanly alternates between being written by one thread, and read by many threads.

Nurseries really don't help at all with this use case. However they don't harm it in any way either: The request threads are started by the server handling requests, which is blocking the main thread. The cache handling thread is started by the main thread before starting the server, which just works. The main thread keeps the nursery around, showing that if you looked at the main thread that a background task would be running there.

So, all in all, I look forward to trying this style of concurrency.
If it's going to another Eth address then it's as simple as sending a transaction. Fees are a problem these days but they could've sent it for as little as 1-2usd to as high as 30-100usd. Higher fees mean faster processing.
I think this advocates a certain style of concurrency rather than a particular language feature.

As hinted at in the article, nothing prevents me from spawning a global_nursery at the top of my entry point and making that visible everywhere. I can still use this global_nursery (or any other higher-level one) to break resource cleanup.

I do find the argument compelling. But Python is simply too powerful for this abstraction to work perfectly, you’d need further restrictions. Maybe something like linear types (or Rust’s borrow checker) to make sure local state doesn’t escape into global nurseries?
Victimblaming is par for the course whenever a cyclist gets injured. It's really infuriating. I don't think that blaming the driver is good either, as the article says, most of the time it's a failure of the infrastructure that even made the situation possible. Very few drivers try to actively kill cyclists.
I wish journalism was concerned less with words and more with pointing out how to solve problems. This one in particular seems to be mostly a failure at city planning and lack of drivers education. It seems to me that car companies should be way less powerful in the US than they were 50 years ago (in terms of % of GDP), thus there should be a way out of this. Compare good and bad cities, shame the bad ones. Get insurance firms on board. Have websites compiling these kinds of things into liveability indices. Give good cities trophies or whatever. Once home prices are affected by it, incentives should be clear.

When I first started driving semi trucks, about three years ago, my company didn't do business with p/fj. They used to, but then they didn't. Something about fraud or not-honored contracts.

Then at some point we started using them again. I guess we got our promised discounts or whatever.
Point 3 is rather interesting. I’d even go as far to say that the ‘marvellous’ evolutionary end-result that is us humans is the result of relentless chiselling over millions of generations by tragedy, suffering and death. Perhaps the more aggressive the chiselling the faster the evolution?

I'm confused by that statement. Do you not care whether your code works correctly? Do you consider finding and fixing bugs to be separate from writing code?
They prominently displayed the line characters, Brown and Cony in a message chat between the two main characters in 2015s "Hyde Jekyll Me" on Netflix.

I doubt you'd do that as a mean to show a generic chat. I think that is more of an attempt to make inroads in Korea (or perhaps pandering to viewers outside Korea)
