Internet business got trapped in advertising due to the whole classic phenomenon of "bad money chases out good money". I.e. a similar example lies in businesses funded by VC runways for several years; even though those businesses may not be "actually profitable", because they're getting fake profits (VC money) for several years, they're able to compete against "organically funded" businesses that are actually earning real profits and are naturally solvent. More importantly though - they're often able to compete so well that they drive those other companies out of business. It leads to a churn scenario where, since the only businesses left are VC-funded, everything dies/gets-acquired within a 3-5 year time window (except the FAANG giants doing the acquiring).

Advertising did a really similar job.

It completely destroyed most web businesses trying to get their customers to "actually pay" in some form or another, and ... basically the only survivors have been a few giant media conglomerates (with their own ad divisions), and the FAANG companies (actually selling the ads). Everybody else is sharecropping on google/facebook's proverbial plantation, and like all similar historical situations of rentiership, the vast, vast majority of them have gone out of business and been acquired by the proverbial landlord (this is why, you know, something like 2/3 of the newspapers in the USA have gone out of business in the last few decades). What's even worse with the newspapers is that in many cases they weren't even acquired; they were just shuttered completely.

(The only other major survivor has been people selling actual physical products over the web.)

There are thousands of articles about why local journalism going out of business (and not getting replaced by anything, typically) is bad, and I'll leave googling those as an exercise for the reader.
Another option to look into is Nuitka. I haven't tested it with PySimpleGUI, but I've used it to package wxPython apps for windows in the past and it worked really well.
The underlying reason is pretty simple - there's not enough IPv4 addresses to uniquely identify all the devices.

We work around that with things like NAT, but as we have more and more devices on the internet we need a simpler solution. That simpler solution being moar bits in the address.

This is immaterial. People can be very welcoming to tourists and hostile to the very same people as immigrants. As a brown person who drove extensively through the US both North and South you would mostly see very welcoming people, the same places you would hear horror stories from people like me who actually lived there.
That holds if everyone else gets richer. It does not hold if 2 founders get richer. You barely compete with them for the same items, so it shouldn't affect your buying power at all that your founders got a windfall.

Crash dieting is typically the quick reversal of a diet. For instance I eat 500 kcal/day for a week, then then the following month I go back to eating a 500 kcal surplus and more than offset my losses.

I would not consider 1200 over 3 days (400/day) to be a fast. I would consider 1200 in a month (40/day) to be a fast (I also think that is far to aggressive).
There is a joke from the late Soviet era that sounds like this:

A high-rise building has collapsed. The authorities started investigating all the elements of the panels to find the culprit.

First they come to water and water says: "Oh, I cannot hold a house together. Don't blame me. Ask sand instead."

So they come to sand and sand says: "Well, I cannot stick together, not my fault. Ask cement."

So the police goes to cement and cement shouts from afar: "Not me, I have an alibi! I wasn't there at all."

> I will fight 'smart passports' tooth and nail to my grave

I don't know what your definition of a "smart passport" is, but the ones we have in the EU are pretty awesome. NFC chip on them that can be scanned to provide the biometric data - use cases are automatic identity checks at airports with passport+smart camera that compares, and the same via a government provided app where you take a video of your face, scan the chip, and the app compares them. Both are great, secure ( much more so that sending a scanned copy of your passport/ID card), practical, and can and are done with privacy in mind ( as much as privacy is possible for the airport scenario).

I don't understand people like you. Making people's lives easier is one of the main points of tech. All such advances on that particular level should be done with old school backups for people who can't use the tech (old, disabled, etc.) but those should be the exceptions. If almost everyone can use a system which is more secure, takes less time, and requires less money/time to run, why not? Why not make it the default? Why not make life easier for 90%+ of the adult population?

Thank you, this is absolutely funtastic work.

So many interesting books I will never have time to read. Could somebody please find a solution for the problem of mortality? If there is time.
I’m aware it’s not an issue of detection. I was more speaking to the ancillary issues surrounding the result. The last thing we need is to wait 15 more years while people argue over experiment design validity before anything gets done to even begin investigation into the new physics that may be hidden here.

Any new higher flux neutrino (or anti neutrino) source will be just as useful for subsequent studies into this phenomena. The nice thing about neutrinos in this case is they go through basically everything. So nothing stops a new particle source being constructed specifically for multiple such experiments. Unless for some reason distances from source to detector are such a sensitive value in the potential experiment setups that every subsequent experiment needs to be exactly 20 or 30 meters from the particle source, barring that we could easily setup a line of different experiments a hundred meters long or more! If subsequent experiments hope to produce results with sufficient statistical detail to elucidate the new physics this points towards they are likely to be significantly aided by a higher flux source.

Science is a team sport and the sport of neutrino flux anomaly research currently has measures its innings/quarters/sets in decades. It may take two or even more rounds of subsequent experiments to fully uncover what’s going on here… not because we’re waiting for the next great mind… but because our puny particle accelerators aren’t making enough neutrinos for us to study this phenomenon faster than the pitch drop experiment!

> An adversary with network access (looking at you, corporate firewalls)

Well, if you use corporate device, you implicitly trust them, don't you? Some even sign put signature on a paper agreeing what the corporate body can do to you. Perhaps MITM your encrypted traffic with corporate installed root cert or whatever.

Otherwise if you use your own device, in the age of encrypted HTTP and other stuff - No, an adversary or corporate firewall cannot simply read your password.
My impression is that every SaaS that is successful on ProductHunt (PH) or HN gets copied dozens of times within a few months. That's especially true for technically simple products. A good example is maybe privacy-friendly web analytics: I think products like Fathom and Simple Analytics were the first to really go after this angle (undoubedtly there were others before them though), and in less than 6 months dozens (hundreds?) of copycats turned up with exactly the same USP and the exact same look & feel. And interestingly it isn't the first mover who seems to win that market but rather the company with the most agressive (and sometimes outright misleading) marketing. So being the first doesn't guarantee your success anymore, at least if you don't have enough time to grow undisturbed.

Personally I'd avoid posting products on PH or HN for that reason and instead focus on growing organically in a niche market where you're not immediately discoverable by copycat founders. In general PH feels more and more phony to me and I think there's a lot of astroturfing going on.

I'm on IPv6. Right now. Via Sonic.net. And I didn't do anything.

Here's an argument to use with management: Conversion to IPv6 is in the 14th Five Year Plan of the People's Republic of China.

"We will focus on strengthening support for digital transformations, intelligent
upgrades, and integration and innovation and deploy and construct new infrastructure
such as information infrastructure, integration infrastructure, and innovation
infrastructure. We will build high-speed, ubiquitous, integrated and interconnected,
safe, and efficient information infrastructure that integrates space and earth (天地一体)
and enhance data perception, transmission, storage, and computing capabilities. We
will accelerate the large-scale deployment of 5G networks, increase the user penetration rate to 56%, and promote the upgrade of gigabit optical fiber networks. We will build up technology reserves for the future deployment of 6G network technology. We will expand backbone network interconnection nodes, set up a number of new international communication gateways, and comprehensively promote the
commercial deployment of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)."

So I started on the same work with the idea of extracting all relevant information from all cells (value ranges, values, formulas), exporting to TXT and then building a conversion layer. I didn’t get there but what was informative was the sparsity of information in a big spreadsheet. Most cells in the few models I had for testing have only a few that actually do meaningful stuff. Most are fluff. One of the yet untouched harder parts is the conversion of Excel-specific formulas. The Excels I had used mainly basic math and lookups (thousands of them), not many of the built-in Excel formulas. (Any tips on my approach are very welcome, VBA for Excel isn’t hard but quite hard to Google.)

It seems to me that rep move is so bad that you want to avoid it, but trying to write a fast generic memcpy results in so much bloat to handle edge cases that rep move remains competitive in the generic case.

I gave it a look, and indeed it's not complete python, it will break if you start using the language/stdlib features.

Stdlib modules I couldn't import:

- sqlite3

- urllib

- pathlib

- hashlib

- json

Infra unavailable:

- Debug mode

- pip/venv

- shell

Syntax/built in that didn't work:

- byte and complex literals

- type()

- Some unpacking (E.g: [*[0]])

- raise from

- async/await

It also adds incompatible syntax that is not python, such as 's""' and '|>'.

So despite what that the README says "the vast majority of Python programs should work without any modifications", it's actually the opposite.

The project has real value though, you just need to understand that what you buy here.
Just another reason most websites are going to stick to ipv4.
And if someone can explain well what a piece of code is doing, then of course that person can also write code.

I can read and understand many mathematical proofs and explain why it's true, but I could never have proven it myself. I can read and understand most of the great novels ever written, and even try to explain their greatness, but I could never have written any of them.

That being said, I agree that listening to someone explain and critique written code probably gives at least as good insight into their coding ability as having them whiteboard a leetcode problem.

That would be at odd with the language style which separate statements from expressions.

You can dislike this language characteristic, but it's the right call to stay congruent.

Starvation mode is something most people do not understand. I can’t count the number of morbidly obese people I’ve heard tell me they need to eat 6 small meals per day so their metabolism doesn’t shift into starvation mode and they stop losing weight.

The few studies we have on actual starvation suggest that the body’s BMR does not change substantially until > 10 days without food.

Fasting and low carb diets have very similar effects, principally keeping insulin levels very reduced.
Why not just use self-signed certificates for those sorts of devices with a 50 year expiry or something like that? Surely setting up your CA or even embedding a single long term certificate (or chain) within your own device isn't too much a hassle, right?

Realistically, your toaster, fridge or lightbulbs will only talk to a particular set of hosts within the vendor's walled garden, so there's no need to have a trust chain for the entirety of the Internet anyways. Provided that your IoT devices aren't doing anything shady otherwise. Assuming that you even need or want IoT devices.
It's not because they're owned by Microsoft, at least not in the way you think.

It's because GitHub Actions is rebranded Azure Pipelines.

Simple is good! Especially for ranking as the objective is hard to define. Having looked at some samples on your site, imo it's good enough :)

Though if you wanted to try other things just for fun, maybe:

- Count matching NER, comments with a lot of book recommendations tend not to detail why they like the specific one currently filtered

- maybe down weight comments that are too short (after the matched NER is subtracted) as they seem to just have a title+link?

Not ML but while I'm here, on Android the comment section appear fine but has an horizontal scroll that seems spurious, with lots of blank space to the right (Galaxy S10, chrome & firefox)

I don't think you are taking into account the outcome when one persistently fails (or cannot) cover its human needs.

Give me an excruciatingly painful, slow-killing terminal illness, and tell me how do you not see suicide as a rational option.
What convinces you it's a working system? Making your enemies, and even your own people, think that you 'can even reach those in fortresses beyond a moat, and even archers on watch won't see you coming' surely has a lot of value.

If you used it as a re-breather then surely the work needed is no greater than the work needed to submerge a lungful of air?

I expect you're right that it's a float (appropriate username is appropriate!) - but the balance point seems likely to me to be a small additional volume of air as well as the lungs full capacity. Otherwise maximum horizontal distance would be attained by exhaling early when swimming underwater - that's contrary to my experience - and large lung capacity would be detrimental to swimming underwater.
Monolith vs. Microservice (Podcast Episode)
I doubt so.

A nuclear plant would let Morocco more dependent (expertise and combustible). Multiple intents to obtain uranium (either by mining it, as early as in the 1940's, or as a by-product of phosphate mining) aborted. Selling claims to foreign companies is less risky and is the path followed by Morocco.

A solar farm isn't a plant, there is no real permanent need for heavy-duty infrastructure: it needs few input (no energy nor raw matter, and most spare parts can be stored in the farm) and a set of power-line conveys its sole output, no need for freight trains/trucks.

Moreover Morocco's South is quite different from the average subsaharian desert. There are transport infrastructures, a very pertinent expressway (A3: Casablanca-Marrakesh-Agadir), ports (especially at Laâyoune), even airports (Dakhla can accommodate a Boeing 737). There are serious mining operations, see for example Phosboucraa. Some infra was created by French colons in order to exploit mines and is more-or-less maintained and extended.

I hear that quite often, but up to now, I haven't seen it translate in the field.

Code examples in docs and tutorials are still easy, libs api still clean, code base still readable.

Optional things stayed indeed, optional.

My grip is actually the contrary, many python code bases are stuck in the past. But I'm ok with it, people are not all pro devs, they need a productive language subset.

And the new syntax is providing some fantastic new tools, such as pydantic/fastapi/typer (if you haven't try it, it's really paradigm shift, and I say that as a django fan). f-string are awesome. dataclasses are nothing but convenient and readable. Advanced unpacking as well. I seldom use the walrus, almost nobody does, but when one does, it's useful.

Those existed in python 2, 10 years ago. It's hardly new python. And web frameworks would be terrible without those.
A password manager is not the only solution. A memorized good-enough hash function operating on (fixed-salt, service provider's name, possibly a salt storable in plaintext perhaps accessible to public)->unique password is very strong for most people and is more portable than a password manager.
Newer bikes like my 04 R1 had such effective projection beam headlights (which is already 17 years old, eek!) it was completely unnecessary to ever use the high beams unless you wanted to illuminate a forest canopy. Riding with the high beams on constantly on that bike would have been a dickhead move, no LEDs required.
Yeah, depends on the direction from which you look at "okay" from.

> That just leaves the PARC-influenced "object-oriented" element which later showed up on the NeXT in the form of Objective C and the NeXT APIs. Had Big Mac's software already taken some steps in this kind of direction? Or was it an ambition for later, or simply not on the roadmap at all yet? I have no idea.

This was already present on the classical Macs, and Lisa, via the Object Pascal frameworks, and later evolved into its C++ replacement.

Copland was also heavily C++ based.
Some codebases have many thousands of files. And some of these projects are very readable. Properly factored code is readable because of its structure, well considered abstractions, and conceptual locality, not from being placed into a small number of files.
