> What is the purpose of pythonspeed.com?

What is insufficient about the contents of the "About" page?

It looks (and reads) like a technical essay meant as promotion for the author's training services and books. Which is also the point of the ad.

> "Everyone knows the content presented here"

At some point you did not know this, right? Some people want to figure this out for themselves, as you likely did. Others prefer knowledge transfer, eg, through courses like what the author provides.

> Without C extensions

The author isn't saying to not use extensions. The last part is "If you do need to write an extension".

> Without C extensions, Python would not have taken off

Without C extensions, Python would not have existed. The original need was a better language for working with Amoeba, and "amoeba" was an optional built-in module in the first public release.
> I wonder what it would look like to have a nice single abstraction that enjoys the practicality (BL-wise) of schema and the pragmatism (programming-wise) of types

This already exists in my view. With enough discipline, you can accurately encode any type system into the relational model itself. Something to settle up front is the notion of basic types vs domain types. Basic types are required anywhere and you just need to target the simplest subset that is guaranteed to work everywhere - string, int, guid, date, bool, etc.

Domain types are the most important part of solving complex problems. If it would help, this is an example of one of my schemas. Each line item below is a table:

/* Basic supporting types */
String (yes, all strings in the domain live in 1 table/column)
Date (same for date[time]s)
/* Everything below this line is a pure domain type */
Customer
Customer_CellPhone
Customer_Name
CellPhone_PhoneNumber
CellPhone_WirelessCarrier
WirelessCarrier
WirelessCarrier_Name
PhoneNumber
PhoneNumber_String
PhoneNumber_LastModified
LastModified
LastModified_Date
LastModified_User
User
User_Name
Name
Name_First
Name_First_String
Name_First_LastModified
Name_Middle_String
Name_Middle_LastModified
Name_Last_String
Name_Last_LastModified
Name_Business_String
Name_Business_LastModified

The above encodes a fairly detailed view of the domain in my opinion. If you look carefully, you will see that Null is not possible here and that complex data types are strictly enforced.

Ask HN: How to bypass learning CSS?
I have started building an MVP by myself for a project that I've been exploring for a while . To make this project happen I picked up enough of NodeJS,React and GraphQL in order for me to be able to build it , but now I have just started to design it and I'm simply dreading CSS. Is there any way I could bypass this boring and annoying part of building the MVP? Thank you!
I'm not a java developer, but when i've had to use java I've hated the classpath mechanism. (In part because I dont feel like I can use build-tool-magic without understanding what is going on).

This article presents modules as a solution to some classpath problems, but doesnt quite give me the detail on how.

Can anyone elaborate further on how modules will augment/replace/obviate/worsen my need to care about the classpath?
I meant weight more you’ll live less.
It'll be magic when it isn't a laggy freeze/crash-prone piece of junk. I can't count the number of times it has bugged out on me. It's way better to just install docker normally and use the CLI.

I dont think this is true. direct sunlight can be many shades of white. It differs in the morning and the evening and it is mostly yellow.
The yellowness of the sunshine is a direct result of raleigh scattering and other atmospheric effects.the blue part of the spectrum that comes from the sun is scattered by the sky, making the sky blue. Taking away the blue makes the nonscattered sunlight yellowish.
On photos of the moon, you see the true color of sunlight. Which is a pure white.

Reason 421 to ditch Google. They have a couple of things I find handy, but wouldn't trust them with my data if they paid for it (and they don't).

It's not that I inherently don't trust them with privacy (though why should I?), it's the constant bullsh!t and bait and switch.

And even that, I tried to pay them for something the other day (I felt I had to while I considered other options), for the pleasure of paying them, they wanted my passport, utility bill and other details. Erm, nope.

They've collectively taken a dive off the deep end.

I never felt I'd get to a place where I feel I trust Windows on a laptop more than I trust Google.

It’s not unreasonable for someone to have a one cable system these days with thunderbolt.

Personally I have a 18 Intel core workstation with a single thunderbolt 3 cable running to a Caldigit TS3+ dock. During work hours I unplug the dock, and plug my work laptop into the dock instead, and make use of the same keyboard, mouse, monitors, microphone, DAC/AMP, network switch port. Minimal fuss and inconvenience switching between work and private life.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to desire the same results on an AMD solution.

A city in Germany (Osnabrueck) has switched all their buses to electric. They are much more silent, for sure.

I also don't feel like electric cars are more loud, at least at moderate speeds. I always had the impression that they're a lot more silent inside cities. Maybe on a highway that would be different, I can't say.

The biggest offenders of background noise are obviously trucks though.
It’s flattering because it paints their motives as noble. There was no honor or grandiosity involved, it was a strategic move to end the war early and preserve their wins. Though the alternative version makes for good Holywood stories.

On the “Kurt Knispel” article, a few of the romanticized sentences removed are that he “was the greatest tank ace of all time” and routinely “complained about the treatment of civilians and prisoners of war”, “often didn’t shave and had a rebel attitude”. All without sources of course.

This is quite an interesting point. In data engineering, compression is a key goal -- yet random identifiers are often used.

Part of the reason is, presumably, that over a distributed system it's hard to coordinate choosing a deterministic globally unique identifier without a performance cost.

Does any one have any thoughts on implementing a globally unique identifier in a compressible/deterministic way?

My initial guess is choose some low-collision probability random part, and then glue on timestamp?
Being myself a big advocate of remote work (and being working remote for the last 3 years, before pandemic) I agree that usually people underestimate the downsides. The thing is, in my opinion, that the key should be, does it really works having remote workers compared to in person offices? I think it does, once the dynamic changes to the new environment. And in the medium to long term makes people happier as they can improve their personal lifes with the time they can recover (as well as being able to organize the time by themselves).

The main problem I saw people had with the remote work is how to make friends outside of work. Most of us are used to "find friends" from our schools, then universities and then from work, so many people got the feeling that they were isolated. But that's because they didn't know how to find "pools" of people to find new friends from.

I'm not sure you both are talking about the same thing. The argument has nothing to do with the pain of a "quick prick", nor people's physical pain tolerances. I also suspect (some) people are refusing to wear masks for reasons other than the physical discomfort.

Speaking for myself, I grew up like you described, and still have a fairly large risk tolerance. I'm currently recovering from 'wounds' over a large portion of my body from outdoor activities. That doesn't mean I'm going push what I perceive to be unnecessary medical treatment on my hypothetical kids. The two are not mutually exclusive.
And they've tried 'any price' (even not taking it facetiously literally)? What makes it so unattractive?

The prospect of working on Bing or at Microsoft wouldn't exactly excite me perhaps, but it'd only have to be the best paying (by some non-trivial but not massive amount) offer. (Or everything else less exciting!)

Perhaps you mean search engine experts, not grad entry or 'at any price' in that sense, so the pool they're looking at only wants to work on the biggest most exciting one, which happens also to be willing to hire all of them?
I am pretty sure this is one of the last steps not first steps.

Been using this type of google drive for years now, mounts a virtual drive (with ability to always sync some folders locally + cache of contents).

I do miss the idea of my local copy being a backup of the cloud contents, and having to be a bit more thoughtful about syncing up chunks of documents and folders for being disconnected. Given how large the amount of data actually stored is, and how little gets frequently used, it makes life a lot easier.

They are just distributing OSM data, which has many things including park, city, nation borders. And even includes more data then google, bing, and apple maps in some cases. However while business and store data is there, it is also the most incomplete.

OSM is basically a wiki where anyone can edit. I use it for about 20% of my mapping needs, especially when in a park.

There are plenty of great offline OSM clients, such as OsmAnd. I don't see any real value in the P2P here, particularly for mobile. However having more clients that render great maps is always a win.

> Remember, this awful law offers no exceptions for rape victims.

This sums up the insanity of the average person... no offence.

Why exactly can a rape victim kill a thing a non rape victim cannot kill?

Why does the thing deserve to die, or is ok to die because the father is a rapist?

I'm ok with the idea children can be punished for their parents sins, I believe in genetics, but I don't think this is your point?

Non rape victims can have shitty mental health too and the idea when a woman's birth control fails she's at fault doesn't cut it either.

Pro choice is all around emotive convenience.

None of this is coherent ethics or even coherent facts, as we've seen this story consistently misreported, if we'd skipped the clever Shrek memes attacking a website and talked facts around the law maybe we'd move forward. I guess who cares, society is getting the Twitter society it deserves.

The original text is meant to mean a triple of statements:

x < y if and only if w < z

x = y if and only if w = z

x > y if and only if w > z

This can be tiresome (and obviously confusing) if you need to keep using it in many places, hence some authors define the odd symbol to start with, and then use that in many places.
We'll have to disagree then on what is significant. 335 kids dying over the course of the pandemic is not to me:

There are an estimated 78,720,000 kids in the US under the age of 18. That means 0.0004256% kids have died from Covid. To put that in perspective, more than half of that number died of the flu over the same period (not trying to compare all of covid to the flu). Also, overall, more than 10,000 kids under the age of 18 died of other causes.
What I actually said:

>If that is true (and there is evidence that it was) then the whole thing was just a hoax, _at least as presented_.

I suppose this is an example of the perils of attempting to be nuanced on the internet. The EFAIL paper is great work. I recently referenced it in an article I wrote. The group involved has subsequently done other good work in the messaging space I am interested in.

> Who decides that though?

We do. We used to have choice. Online games back then had the option to search for servers with no requirements for any of this bullshit. Now we're lucky if we even get dedicated servers.

> I would bet the vast majority of players would be very happy to be monitored if it meant less cheaters.

Honest players letting themselves be monitored does nothing to help matters. Cheaters will work around the system and evade monitoring.

> Vanguard operates from system start-up, constantly operating on your PC unless you forcefully close it or uninstall it from your computer.

And now it requires TPM and secure boot. It's disgusting really. It's like all that stuff RMS warned us about is becoming reality. All for what, a video game? No video game is worth this.

From what I'm reading it's not just me either. People are concerned about the kernel module:

> Can people trust a piece of software that has so much access?

> it appeared as if they were just brushing off anyone’s concerns about it

> The concerns people had weren’t exclusively from people scared of Riot Games or their parent company Tencent from performing “spying” operations on a computer and harvesting endless amounts of personal data.

> A noted subsection was worried that if the Vanguard kernel component was compromised, it could be accessed by people with less pure intentions than Riot Games simply wishing to prevent cheating in their title.

This has happened before with capcom.sys, it was literally a backdoor into the kernel that any user space program could use to execute functions in ring zero:

https://www.theregister.com/2016/09/23/capcom_street_fighter...

The games industry cannot be trusted to write kernel code! They need to stay in user space where they belong. If that means more cheaters so be it.
Never. Use PyPy if you need to speed up your servers (note the caveats regarding C extensions, if you have any being used).

That’s a big claim. Most meat substitutes are ultra-processed food with lots of carbs and a poorer nutritional profile. Did you make other diet or lifestyle changes? Red meat should not impact blood sugars much.
Sure and if we were skipping the analysis here, I'd agree with you.

However we have several signals from the researcher side, and no signals (that I've seen) from the vendor side and all of the signals point to a lack of patching.

In this case are there any signals you've seen that point to silent backporting that missed the exploited vulnerabilities?
CSS doesn't have to be boring. Some people really like using it.

If you don't want to use css, your choices are pretty much the following:

- use unstyled html

- use a component library (although any customization is going to require css)

- use a framework that has utility classes. Again it's hard to imagine never writing a line of css.

Honestly, css is a fundamental web technology. If you want to build for the web you're going to have to learn it

OK that makes sense. But what about everything else besides taxes? If people don't trust a currency, they can begrudgingly use it to pay taxes.

What about food, fuel, clothes, etc? Taxes on everything will only go so far, at some point people will just trade all that illegally, on black markets, using different currencies.

Actually, I think that's the case in some countries today and the Soviet Union had a similar situation, people practically bartered, ignoring the state.
