If you take the idea that suicide is a rational, meaningful form of protest, then like the nazis you would want to prohibit the people you're murdering from killing themselves first. The nazis were sadists who wanted the act of murder all to themselves, so they overlooked the existential aspect: The dead can't talk either way. Frankl at least wanted to keep them alive, to prove that existence did have meaning, even in the worst suffering. So? He was a humanist and they were nihilists, and you think that amounts to the same thing?
To rehash my typical HN reply about GIL:

I find that 99% of the time that you need to use threads for CPU work (not just IO), that means that you care enough about performance that your Python just calls into some C library (C extension libraries e.g. numpy, scipy, or even bits of the standard library e.g. zipfile operating on an in-memory buffer). The thing is, all these calls (almost) all release the GIL anyway. So threading support in Python is already meaningful, unless you want to run pure-Python CPU intensive code on multiple threads, which I'll admit does happen but in my experience is rare.

Correct. There is the whole rep family doing all kinds of fun stuff. You can add the rep/repnz/repz prefixes to at least:

movs[b|w|d]: move data in bytes/words/doublewords aka memcpy

stos[b|w|d]: put a value in bytes/words/dwords aka memset

cmps[b|w|d]: compare values aka memcmp

scas[b|w|d]: scan for a value aka memchr

ins[b|w|maybe d]: read from IO port

outs[b|w|maybe d]: write to IO port.

lods[b|w|d] : read from memory was probably not meant to be combined with rep as it would just throw everything but the last byte away. I once saw a rep lodsb to do repeated reads from EGA video ram. The video card saw which bytes were touched and did something to them based on plane mask. This way touching 1 bit changed the color of a whole 4 bit pixel, speeding up things with a factor 4.

Then one day, someone found that rep movs was not the fastest way to copy data on an x86 and they all went out of vogue. I think rep stos recently came back as fastest memset, as it had a very specific CPU optimization applied.

Interesting that you mention certificates because my counter of Days since I could have solved website issue by disabling https is also about a month or so. Those certificate warnings are really scary for users, but telling them what the certificate error means and how to fix it made for an happy client.

Of course they could have solved it by disabling https but then the browser would display this ugly icon and google would not rank their website as good as before, so there is a strong incentive to keep https. The server admins responsible for the site will just have to accept that certificate renewal is part of their responsibility.

Basically:

"Ants built a mound near a hole, some started falling down and couldn't get back up; with no food, lower ants had to eat ant corpses; the lower ants also built a mound (with no pupas) and dragged corpses that have been eaten onto a pile; later scientists removed the obstacle so that ants that fall down could get back up".

I'm a bit disappointed that the "soviet nuclear bunker" didn't play a bigger role.

As a layman I'm wondering whether CICO, as a grossly simplified model, is more useful when a person is very overweight/obese than when they are closer to normal weight.

When you want/need to loose, say, >40 pounds it would be plausible that an error of 200-300 calories doesn't matter as much because most likely your excess intake is beyond that.

Your health would improve considerably by following the simple but inaccurate model instead of doing nothing.

As your weight goes down CICO becomes less and less useful and you need to switch to a more accurate model.

Ironically, the increase of SaaS businesses have made me more vary of actually using them.

It seems like so many wants to have a successful semi-solo SaaS that pay their bills. They aren't longer a way to sell a product and a startup idea, but an attempt at a lifestyle. Some people throw up smooth landing pages for barely working products, and quickly move on to the next idea if it doesn't stick.

Web Development Environment on Specified Version of Node.js, with Nix
The underlying uneasiness of people fighting this kind of technology is that it is technology that gives more power to a government, and that power can be then used against you if the government gets corrupted one way or another : if a wannabe dictators gets to power and destroy democratic power balance, or fascists gets to power, etc...

A common rebuttal to this is that democracy is strong enough to withstand this, and that if it happens, people will rebel. Another fear is then that the government gets enough power from the technological advance that the people rebelling will become not strong enough, or that the government will have so much influence in people's life that they will be able to squash rebellion before it even takes form.

Unless there are professionals who’ll do it for you, these things take more effort than you expect. (And even then there still has to be someone who can deal with the subject matter.)

I think some of them does require libpython.so/dll to be bundled together. In some cases like pyinstaller [1] you can alternatively choose to embed that DLL file into the final executable; in that case the executable would first extract itself into a temporary folder. The point is that you don't need the full Python installation to run that executable.

Amazon has adverts on TV saying how wonderful it is to work for Amazon. My first thought when seeing them is, that's a PR campaign, and the truth is almost certainly the opposite.
I wonder if it's possible to capture how much money is being made by owning the house. So you'd need to estimate future sales price and then remove that from the monthly mortgage price before comparing to income. I've heard of people in London who's asset appreciation makes them more than their wage each year, but not sure how representative that is.

People who happened to own property in a pre-gentrified area would have negative costs. Just holding the asset as prices rise would be worthwhile. In a socialist scheme that owner would be everyone/the government.

Meanwhile, someone moving into that same area will be paying more for the already baked in price rise assumption which may entirely cancel out the expected future asset price increase. Who pays and who benefits is random and unrelated to any useful economic input, like building homes people want in areas that need people.

But then how do you price in the uncertainty? Maybe the market collapses for several unrelated reasons.

Feels like there should be an insurance/socialist answer to this problem, where the risks and rewards of property investment are shared between people with no control over them.

Land value tax is one element of this.

Normalising renting and having democratic control over the landlord/renter contracts is another.

Singapore seems to do well with this, but not sure how translatable this is. Feels like the kind of thing that needs to go very wrong before the sensible approach gets taken.

Society generally seems to need to touch the fire to believe it's hot.

edit: business idea - private land value tax.

You buy into a corporation, that corporation buys lots of buildings in popular locations. You pay a land value tax to the corporation and a market rate 'rent' for the building.

As the land value tax rises, you might get priced out and be forced to move to one of their cheaper homes (or cash out) but if the land value tax gets too high for anyone, the corporation can sell the building to someone else at market rate, or if the location is great, knock down the existing building and rebuild more compact apartments to spread the land tax over more owners.

Basically the Singapore model, but private. You get to live in cool places, move easily (if the scheme is big enough) and profit from the insane property bubble with hedged risk.

There was a point about planned obsolescence?

All I saw was one point where the author claimed his old cameras and phones were planned to be obsolete, which is stupid.

By that standard, the only camera we could ever make is whatever camera humans in the distant future consider the last (sturdy) camera.

We design physical devices to last long enough to see you in to the time we'd expect them to actually be obsolete.

Do you really think it would be a good idea to make everything super long lasting?

Imagine a world where we took this seriously. We'd have precision machined laptop cases made out of advanced alloys, wrapping ruggedised 66mhz intel pentiums from 1993. Still working, but effectively a massive waste of resources.

One question. Which is the best python library for TUI?

The change is a feature, it is by deffinition a "logical commit".

Like "migrated this JMS queue to kafka", that can span across tens of files.

Just because the commit is big doesn't mean it's not also logical and consistent.

In fact the reverse can be said -- if you split the commit in smaller commits (and your build is still green with each commit) -- each commit can seem contrieved, and good luck later on, when you try to understand how a piece of code works and how this xml/drl/properties file is connected to this piece of code if you have multiple commits.

If it's a single commit, you can usually narrow down your search tremendously and can easily see the logical deoendencies.

So for me, if it's a JIRA issue, I usually squash my commits before I push.
