There‘s a lot of negativity in the comments, but the message here is not that there cannot be Mars missions as we already have. The message is that there should not be (completely impractical) ideas of being able to live there and that it can wait. Some people suggest this is possible and it distracts from the urgency of saving Earth right now - in the next 50-100 years.

So it‘s a matter of psychological energy. The whole question of whether measures to address climate change will succeed is mostly a question of psychological energy, of setting the right priorities at the right time, of not hoping for a magical solution, of not hedging bets and of getting enough mindshare.
Perez, Agnelli and others have often mentioned "football can't go without this", but what they mean is "I can't go on like this".

Some of the big clubs have basically been financially mismanaged for years, but it's not about "football" it's about Juventus, Real Madrid etc.

I wish we'd use salary caps (but those are trivial to hack around) and max transfer caps (ditto) and reduced shortlists with a mandatory % of youths. And surely the UEFA can be managed better.

But the truth is these clubs are the "badly managed too big too fail bank" of football.
That's literally what's written in the article.

Interestingly, the author classifies python as a brown language, yet it's on the top 15 of most loved programming languages.

Now, maybe it's because for a lot of people, it's a green language since it only became that popular in the last 10 years despite being an old one (1991).

But for me it's definitely a brown language, as I've been using it since 2.4 (we are at 3.9). And I must say, reading a decade old Python code bases, even with the 2=>3 transition in the middle, is still very easy.

I went back to a project I wrote 10 years ago (first commit 2011), and the code is clear. I can make changes to it with no problem at all. And it's not even a small project, it's a streaming website that still serves half a million users a day using an old Django.

Today I'm working for a client on a FastApi project. It uses all the current modern Python gimmicks, async, typing and f-string and so on. I could get into the code base in less than a day, and make my first commit.

I know Python has the reputation to not scale, not be good for big projects or big teams, but It's certainly not have been my experience.

The upcoming Python 3.10 has been controversial because it introduce some weird choices for pattern matching. But it's the tree hiding the forest:

- it's a sign the language is still actively evolving and will not become obsolete. Legacy design decision will always make adding new features an exercise in compromises.

- 3.10 also have been focusing on not-s-sexy but oh-so-important things like improving the error messages (I'm actually very excited about this, I've followed it and it's very well done)

So I'm pretty confident it's going to stay a brown, but nice language to work with.

Not that's it perfect, the more I use other languages, the more I can see the limits of Python. But I expect it to still be a solid choice for new projects for a long time.
That's the aspiration. But reality is very different. The interesting aspect was when the that reality was being called out, everyone rebelled!!

> Inequality leads to power centers

Yep, though I'd flip it: Concentrations of power create opportunities for wealth inequality. Or they're not even different things. Whenever something is centralized (Google), or a chokepoint is created (Suez, Panama), or network effects stabilize a monopoly position, then the people who control those contested single points of failure become wealthy; their wealth is their control of those resources (e.g., Bezos' shares in Amazon). Prices are Lagrange multipliers; they're forces impinging on a constraint (e.g., limited land in SV). Whereas systems that are more local and distributed create less concentration of power and wealth. Unfortunately they also tend to be less efficient. Where they win is in redundancy and robustness. I suppose this means that if you want more of the latter, then you need more chaotic conditions. Which might be even worse.

part of the problem is the opposite: the clubs have dug themselves in a hole financially attempting to actually win something (think of Juventus in the last couple years wasting a ton of money while failing to achieve any international success).

As the late Douglas Adams said:

"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."

https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Babel_Fish

Inflammatory news and memes very clearly propagate in communities sharing the same language. They can overcome the language barrier (e.g. English to Hungarian), but they usually lose quite a lot of their original potency in the process.

The more people speak English on a proficient enough level, the bigger the pond through which the ripples go. I do not really believe that anyone can carve this pond back into small puddles. Not in the time of the Internet.

Yes, ratings can't be compared between different pools. Different rating systems can perform with different accuracy, though:

Which rating system is best?

The purpose of rating systems is to predict the outcome of games.
Therefore, they can be objectively better or worse, according to their ability to make such predictions.

Ads are an attack on our attention.

When I go to a website, I decide to direct my attention to this website, because I believe it will offer something of interest to me.

Obviously things don't come for free, somebody has to pay for it, but the issue is that as a user, I didn't agree to getting my attention diverted. The trade isn't done upfront and by the time I see the ad, it's already too late.

There is also a collective argument to me made about humanity browsing like headless chickens and not being able to focus on important things because of all these distractions.
Supabase’s realtime library consumes the logical WAL and provides a Phoenix channel + JavaScript API to subscribe to matching events from it:
https://github.com/supabase/realtime

Under the hood, the core implementation was copied (with credit / attribution) from:
https://github.com/cainophile/cainophile

I happened to do a similar thing but I adapted cainophile into an Elixir “OffBroadway” producer:
https://github.com/integratedb/integrate/blob/main/lib/integ...

These approaches rely on acking the WAL to confirm data has been processed. It’s simpler than running Debezium / Kafka for “zookept” CDC. However, they are “at least once” at best and it’s easy to shoot yourself in the foot so think twice before relying on this kind of thing for a real application.

Materialize is nice — TAIL is a lovely abstraction and their data ingest uses Debezium under the hood. That said, I believe their Postgres binlog source is still alpha / under active community dev.
The Champions League cannot compete with ubiquitous Netflix/Youtube. It will have to be replaced or radically change. The ESL's demise points to the latter.

The post qualified that position with an exceptionally mild "most likely." A single counterexample is hardly a reason to criticize it as reductive.

> On the other hand, you know that millions of other incredibly talented and skilled people are also working on the same problem, and no one has really had much success such as to be notable.

There have definitely been successes in this space, but they are always closed source within hedge funds and don’t usually offer up their algorithm for other people to use. Even internally in hedge funds they won’t share their algo trading strategies they have found, because if someone goes to another firm and replicates them then the advantage is lost. Usually these are based on understanding a specific signal that you can estimate a sectors value from.

As soon as others can use the algorithm any ability it has to beat the market is instantly lost.
They are political activists doing politics. What did you expect them to do? It seems to me that environmentalists are held to a higher standard and that seems unreasonable.

> Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Apparently you don't have a family member that has hearing problems, making it difficult for them to have a 'normal life'. I have one. I remember buying a €4k (a few many years ago) pair of hearing aids and see the tears coming down when one was able to hear again.

I see this as a prosthetic leg. You lose a basic function, this technology helps go back to having a slightly better life. Some stats on the matter. DDG returned US statistics on the top results; I believe these can be proportional for all other countries.

https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics...

-About 28.8 million U.S. adults could benefit from using hearing aids. (HB Note: isn't that 9% of the population? - that's a big number - almost 29 million people??)

-Among adults aged 70 and older with hearing loss who could benefit from hearing aids, fewer than one in three (30 percent) has ever used them. Even fewer adults aged 20 to 69 (approximately 16 percent) who could benefit from wearing hearing aids have ever used them.

-As of December 2019, approximately 736,900 cochlear implants have been implanted worldwide. In the United States, roughly 118,100 devices have been implanted in adults and 65,000 in children.
If they did that I'd immediately switch to something else. Nothing pisses me off more that spam. And all ads are spam. If I wanted something, I'd look for it. If you have to tell me about it first, then it's spam. Don't waste people's time/bandwidth/attention with things they didn't even want in the first place.

And the counterpoint that "but they might not have known about x product in the first place" is useless. Because if they wanted/needed something like x they would have just googled "something that can do x" and found x.com or whatever to discover it. To reiterate, the fact that they weren't looking for it in the first place means that they didn't want it.

I tend to think that it is almost impossible to translate anything from one language to another. For this, translator have to be native speaker of both languages and live in both cultures simultaneously all the time.

There're many books that become much better or much worse after translation.

As of me: I've heard several times that Pushkin is overrated, but I always liked his poems and prose. I like Chekhov. I somewhat like Tolstoy. Never understood Dostoyevsky, but I think I've tried to read his books too early, maybe it's time to read them again.
It can be both, can't it? If you reduce the power of the federal government, you increase local power. In some places, that'll mean more worker ownership, in others it'll mean more libertarian power etc. But by allowing both to exist separately, you're not forcing them to fight over the country.
This might be survivorship bias talking. I do not have any examples with me but I am quite sure, there are a lot more projects that ended up dead.
It is actually very easy to predict these things, if the people in charge are not the ones paying the bills it's not going to be worth the money.
> However, it's very easy to end up in a situation where multiple applications share the file extension. I've run into it all too often.

Care to share some examples? I've very rarely had this problem when some specific program chose to use something like .dat as the extension, but I doubt someone making this decision would have picked a sensible mime type either.

Then you mention http already solves this problem. Great. Now you only need to fix the remaining five trillion protocols used to transfer files that don't.

If you're old enough you might know the unix haters handbook. It also made fun of this problem and smarty-pants explained how the next version of macos will strictly store any metadata, such as mime type, separately in the file system meta data and not in the file(name) anymore. I think they even gave the size of an image as an example. Thirty years later and this is still what macos does; Jpeg files still end in jpg and contain exif data.

Metadata goes in the file, file type is the same. That's the only sane way to get this to work in an interoperable way. It's the least common denominator, since you always have these two, no matter the environment. For anything else, the ship has sailed.
You've explained further proving that the original statement was wrong. Nobody is shooting at anyone.
It's hard to make money if you're a poet. I guess it's hard to make money now if you are any kind of writer. People don't read anymore. And I guess poets never made enough money.

But if you're a Russian poet/writer and you write about how you hate current and past Russian government, how it "oppresses" everyone around, you have a non-zero chance to receive awards and grants from western funds. Your works would be also promoted worldwide for free. I guess it is the main source of motivation for such authors.
My definition of FU money is that you have enough money to be secure no matter what.

Entertainment is fundamentally one of the simplest forms of enterprise. One party has disposable income and gives it to another party for completely non essential services. The incentives align perfectly. If there was ever a market that should run as a for profit entity, it’s football.

I'm not the first one to open up and talk to strangers but my son is much more confident and would randomly say hi and talk to strangers (generally to children of his age but I've seen him wave to adults across the street). It is certainly not by watching me :) - but then it is possible that the extroverted behaviour, by definition, gets observed more and hence emulated more.
> We already have the technology to radically improve our environmental impact.

And its time we use it for this purpose. It appears that the activists (especially the alarmists) have already forgotten about the technological shifts and solutions that already address their concerns.

To most of us here, where interested in practical, realistic and actual solutions backed by empirical studies and strong evidence. To some, it is all political melodrama, the game of blame, extreme rage and fury at the past offenders who are already gone and later saying 'it's too late' or 'it's over'.

I would rather listen to the technologists that have built these solutions and are advancing them than a screeching activist telling everyone 'just do better' which doesn't change minds or get us closer to the goal.
One Covid vaccine cuts infection risk in all age groups
In 2000 some basketball clubs split off, made another league and FIBA was furious. FIBA managed to keep only 3-4 top clubs so basketball was split between the Euroleague (which had most top clubs) and FIBA's Suproleague which was the poor relative. After 1 year FIBA scrapped the Suproleague altogether and only the Euroleague remained. The Euroleague has been running as a closed league since then.
Poland with a proportional system seems to be exactly as polarized as the US, and they do not even have enough ethnic diversity to serve as an ersatz explanation. The dividing lines run through families and neighborhoods of people who, to the outsider, look perfectly alike.
For C/C++ code, you can already do refactoring using clang-tidy scripts [0], or even can write custom linters using libtooling [1] and leverage the AST Matchers [2] which work at the AST level.

All that's needed is a compile_commands.json file which can be easily generated via most build systems, or you can use Bear [3]/some other tool (or write a script that logs all syscalls and generate it yourself).

This was kind of a thing back when there was some what of a differentiation between the platforms when it came to features many many years ago and the concept of a premium Android was not really a thing, but in my friend groups that span between the ages of early twenties to late thirties, everyone has atleast a few messaging apps and really the only people that insist on group chats over imessage are my family group chats with people over the age of fifty.

As a lifelong Android user it's never been an actual impediment to communication, especially with people I actually consider friends, but also with just random meets from apps like Tinder or meetup where you usually start with a phone number but then move to some other platform the first time you want to share any kind of multimedia.

iMessage offers nothing that LINE, messenger, WhatsApp, snapchat etc don't already have besides being preinstalled if you own an iphone as far as I can tell.

Yes, every matchup would be with teams that have accumulated a ton of elite talent and know each other well enough that they will have to compete harder if they want to win. I will never understand European purists and their desire to watch a lesser product for tradition's sake. When Louisiana State University plays The University of Alabama in a game of American Football on the first weekend in November every single year, the worst that they've ever done in TV ratings is the same as Liverpool vs. Man City's record viewership. This is a game of two elite amateur teams, mind you, that happen to be in the same division in the same conference (I guess you could call it a regional league).

Interesting, but I’m not sure the algorithm aged well.

Memory is a block device now. DDR delivers 8 bytes per transaction per channel, e.g. 16 bytes per transaction for dual-channel memory configuration. Skipping bytes delivers little profit in terms of memory bandwidth (but it saves other things, CPUs have very small limit how many memory load instructions can run per cycle).

SIMD instructions can compare vectors for about the same cost as scalars, e.g. _mm_cmpeq_epi8 (SSE2) and vceqq_u8 (NEON) compare 16 bytes with another 16 bytes.

If I wanted a super-fast substring search, I would try to leverage these things.
