> while still meeting professional obligations

The unstated and unexamined assumption here is that professional obligations trump leisure and enjoyment. Do they? If so, why?
Weather forecast APIs for open-source developers and non-commercial use
I truly feel like I just read a paragraph from 1984. You're tying yourself in knots to rationalize using language to mean something you want it to mean, but which it does not actually mean.

Yes, oligopoly is a fine word to use, but you can't just wave your hands around to transmute that into monopoly.
This book is a big reason that I'm a professional dev today. I'd done some QBasic as a kid and then VB in high school, but C++ really turned me off to programming in college. Fast forward a few years and some of the devs that I worked with were really excited about replacing all their PHP apps with something called Ruby on Rails, and they told me about this one weird book...
As a non American, I must say that I found Chappelle's special to be way too much in the defensive, as if he was preparing for a cancellation that was sure as hell not going to happen. Why would trans people be mad, when he was basically dealing with his duel process on stage about the loss of a trans friend?

Then I saw Twitter. Wow.

I just don't understand how people can be that mad about something that _they've clearly not watched_. It's beyond me. Perhaps I lack some fundamental cultural context.
good question! i am under 18 and would feel a lot more comfortable working with someone under 18 as well
Current games are unlikely to do so, but future iterations of games who want to bootstrap a player base would.

I reckon it’ll mostly be cosmetics but who knows. We’re still early.
Uvloop/uvicorn - which is the production grade asgi server only works with asyncio.

Hypercorn works with trio..but you lose a LOT of performance
I'm a little confused. Why does the problem with K8S secrets necessitate having multiple clusters? One could take advantage of a more secure secrets system instead, such as Hashicorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.
Hi, very interesting, could you tell more about why I would want to choose this over a managed RDBS at a cloud operator?

Would this be cheaper, or more tuneable?
It doesn't.

Here's two big name projects with all kinds of gamification going on around them: BAYC and CyberKongz

They're actually relatively simple. If you want to see some of the more complex NFT ecosystems that are really pushing boundaries, see Loot and NeoTokyo.
If you really are not comfortable with the consequences your personal labor you should probably leave your job or not take it in the first place.

Oh really? I don't think you're going to get anything like sort of "ethical" behavior until there's something like UBI implemented. Until then, people are going to hold onto high paid jobs they don't like, especially if they can slack off at them.
When they were in power it was punching up. Now I think it's just punching sideways or up depending on who's doing the punching, unless they're celebrities or Orangemanbad himself, in which case up.

It's almost impossible to punch down on Trump supporters because they overwhelmingly represent a movement by which the privileged classes are attempting to maintain their privilege and power, and because they're constantly punching down with their mockery and disdain for marginalized classes and their issues.
I relate to this. Is not just a lot of vendors, is that the kind of software stack that is optimal for MOST enterprises/companies get out of fashion in the dev community and is replaced with a lot of moving gears. This is how many devs think JS/html are good for UIs or NoSql + micro-services are ok.

What is this stack? A single, strong, RDBMS and a lang/environment like FoxPro/dBase and equivalents. For reasons, this stack was killed (intentionally?) by their own owners and replaced by a lot of moving parts.

That is why for deploy something you need dozen of things!

---

I think the time is ripped for a return to this kind of stack. I'm betting a little on it at http://tablam.org, if wanna check a small part of the puzzle.
Sorry, but it has to be rigid to be a sphere. Angular momentum is a bitch!

PS: Dyson Spheres is misnomer, Olaf Stapledon should be credited for this idea (Star Maker 1937)
The leak involved information on the calculated ROI of Chapelle's last special.

This is more akin to a vegan employee leaking how much McDonalds pays for beef, revealing that it is a loss leader. That jeopardizes the relationship and puts the beef company in a difficult position when negotiating with other companies. The vegan feels justified because meat is murder and causes unnecessary suffering.

It's interesting that Netflix may be putting subjective artistic quality ahead of profit. How will investors interpret that?
You'll understand if I weigh the accounts of trans people who watched it over what you, Dave Chapelle, and the family of a trans person who can't speak for herself said.
Yeah, people are are drastically underestimating how enormous the testing apparatus is at a company like Boeing. It's thousands of employees. Expecting the FAA to duplicate those efforts is ridiculous.

I don't know much about the FAA, but as someone who works in healthcare, I know the FDA conducts regular audits of medical device manufacturers.

They roll in for a week, request access to everything and everywhere, then pick a handful of areas (randomly) to do a full deep-dive. Generally, if a company is cutting corners, discrepancies will exist in many areas and they'll quickly spot one or more of them. I assume the FAA operates similarly.
I dunno, all I want is Federal Reserve accounts at the post office, thank you.

It's coming. Already being tested in Baltimore, The Bronx and a few other places.
From the video, the OS seems to have some considerable input latency. How snappy does it feel to use?
To a first approximation, people don't use python for itself, they use it for the vast ecosystem and network effect. If you jump to another language for better concurrency, what are you giving up?

Unless you really are doing greenfield development in an isolated application, these considerations often trump any language feature.
I can't bring myself to watch it. All I know is a quote from it where Chapelle describes himself as being on "Team TERF". Having spent months subjecting myself to abuse from TERFs in an attempt to empathize with them, I'm too scarred to expose myself to more of that.

So you might be right. Maybe Chapelle was taken out of context. I doubt it, given what I've read, but I can't say for sure since I haven't watched it.

But suppose it is homophobic, or transphobic. I'm actually okay with Netflix hosting it if so, but I don't want there to be double standards. Would Netflix host a racist stand-up routine? Perhaps one where the comedian says they're on "Team White Power" instead of "Team TERF?" Of course not! That's what grinds my gears - transphobia is edgy, apparently, not hateful like racism.

And if Netflix is really committed to diversity of perspectives, why did they no-platform the Saudi Arabia documentary?
The point is that once you're talking about comparable setups, you need all of Vault/Nomad/Consul and the complexity of the setup is much more than just "one binary" as hashi likes to put it.

> So now you have 3 separate Consul clusters, a Vault cluster, and a Nomad cluster. So what did you gain really?

GP's point was already talking about running Vault clusters, not sure you realized we aren't only talking about nomad.
You wrote a lot of words to argue an unrelated point. Whether someone is interested in religion is not the same as whether they find truth in religion.
I firmly believe this problem will melt away in time. 'Consciousness' will gradually cease to be something that empirical science is concerned with, any more than the 'soul' is now, though it was highly salient to science 200 years ago and still is to non-science communities.

The signs of this are: there's no broad agreement on what it means, there are no falsifiable predictions outstanding, and the only reason to not accept that we are philosophical zombies is what people say when you ask them about it. People believe all kinds of things that are obviously not true. Why do we give such special credence to this one?

I think we will move on from this idea over time.
we need banks with physical branches to offer accounts for poor people to have.

Coming soon to a USPS near you. It'll be like 1965 again.
If you read the order, it's clearly about cash reserves (in the financial sense) specifically, and not total underlying assets.
This is the 3rd reuse of 6310 i think? I had one and it had a b&w screen...
It uses grub as a bootloader. At runtime, grub is gone.

Linux also uses grub as a bootloader, and has never been called slow.
I think that you have very succinctly captured the difference between web2 and web3 ideologies.
I am excited about these. Very curious if they’ll be able to drive my two LG 5K UltraFine displays.

Got those screens right away when the MBP2016 came out. It is a great setup, but unfortunately quite unstable. The MBP2016 had tons of crashes, after 4 logic board replacements it got swapped out for a 2018. More stable, but I still have to follow some ritualistic order plugging/unplugging them…
Somehow, this never really clicked for me before.

Mind blown.

Thanks!
I think one thing that often gets lost in these types of discussions, is it’s not just fast versus slow. It’s also patient versus impatient. In certain situations you absolutely need to be methodical, because you are stacking and layering complexity in a manner than is impossible to fuck the impatient way of it goes sideways.
Confrontational? I'm disagreeing with your statement

> If I buy an NFT, I gain the defacto ability to resell my copy the art.

and telling you exactly why I think your statement is wrong. Why do you think this is confrontational? This is a discussion forum.
There are some organizations with lots of domain knowledge and expertise around around developing, securing and deploying Python and they don't have the Innovation Currency to spend on investing in a new language.

Specific to your point, recruiting for Elixir talent is a problem compared to more mainstream languages. Recruiting in general is extremely hard at this moment.
It would be possible to figure this out without any sort of telemetry at all.

It really feels like a forced way to try and shoe-horn something good to say about telemetry when it is something everyone that deals with PDFs have known since forever.

And if that is the best they have to show for it ...
Krustlet/Krustlet: Kubernetes Rust Kubelet to Run WASM
My command line time is easily halved by using vi mode in Bash.

(And so many coding tools are inefficient to me because I cannot use vi keybindings.)
But the point of the article is that they essentially did print currency, no?
Their website's claim has changed. Historically, they claimed USD backing: 2015[1] 2016[2] 2017[3] 2018[4]. By 2019, they had abandoned that claim[5].

Your offense is oddly selective. You should be offended at the attitudes and thought processes that lead to the existence of the Herman Cain Awards.
A possible answer is that everybody in the company knows Python and no other language. Another one is that they have to reuse or extend a bunch of existing Python code. The latter happened to me. Performances were definitely not a concern but I suddenly needed threads doing extra functionality over the original single threaded algorithm. BTW, I used a queue to pass messages between them.
I honestly do not see what is so remarkable about it. It just never seemed to me like a unique vision but instead an effort to adapt some existing X11 tools to a mobile workflow. Which is a fine thing to do if you like those tools, but that's different from having some grand new vision.

To elaborate: The use of a tiling window manager with explicit workspaces doesn't really make sense to me on a phone since every app runs fullscreen anyway. The use of shell scripts doesn't really make sense since editing text on a phone is awful. I don't understand what the definition of "power user" means here either. What does this do that other phones and shells can't do? I can edit shell scripts in Termux on Android too, but it's still awful and unpleasant. Unfortunately I just wasn't able to figure out any reason to use it.

And just to be clear, I would not describe any Linux phone as a grand new vision. They're sadly all playing catch up. Maybe that will improve in the next few years.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the use of volume buttons to control a device with a touchscreen is pretty ridiculous. I mean, come on, you have that big nice touchscreen and you're not going to use it? Or has this improved recently where you don't have to do that anymore? Please let me know, thanks. Maybe I'll try it again if this is any better.
Lol, ask my colleagues.

Since I had an anxiety episode that prompted me to completely quit cold turkey, my coworkers have experienced both the high-on-ritalin and only-caffeinated versions of me a couple years of each. I've genuinely asked if they noticed any change and so far no one has (told me) been aware of one.

Other people in my life (like my partner) were well aware of my mood swings, sexomnia and hypnogogic hallucinations.

While I sometimes snorted Ritalin in the bathroom I was pretty low on the spectrum of abusers I would think, taking it in bursts and often less than the prescribed 40-60mg a day.
To praise weakness and call it merit.
A black woman came up with and wrote the foundational paper on intersectionality. Your comment is based on incorrect assumptions. A person can be both black and gay and experience a different kind of life based on that intersection. Black and native trans women suffer more by every metric than just about any other group of trans people.
I'd say most sane people don't only believe that social media in general is unhealthy, they know it. Some might push for regulation but I would just suggest these people quit it all. I did so a few years ago (well I guess with the exception of HN) and haven't looked back. Sure I might not learn about a high school acquaintance's new baby or the like but the people I truly care about know how to get in touch with me and vice versa.
Given all the corner cases people are going to continue to find whilst trying to coax Python into behaving correctly in a highly concurrent program -- especially one that utilizes random libraries from the ecosystem -- I can't help but wonder whether the Innovation Currency is better spent replacing the components that require high concurrency (which often is only a subset of them) instead of getting stuck in the mire of bug-smashing.
Sometimes a project starts off aiming to solve a problem. maybe it's a data science problem, so support already exists in python so lets do that. Ok, it worked great and it's catching on with users. Now we need to scale, but we are running into concurrency issues. What is a better answer? Ok we will work on improving python concurrency under the hood, or completely scrap the code base and switch to a different language?

Very few people set out going asking themselves about such low level details on day one of a project. Especially something that was an MVP or POC
> ...I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible... The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women—two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians—have rendered the notion of "capitalist democracy" into an oxymoron... In our time, the great task for libertarians is to find an escape from politics in all its forms... Because there are no truly free places left in our world, I suspect that the mode for escape must involve some sort of new and hitherto untried process that leads us to some undiscovered country; and for this reason I have focused my efforts on new technologies that may create a new space for freedom. ~ Peter Thiel
Lending, and the maintenance of the depository accounts where lent money not withdrawn in cash must end up, is much more tightly regulated than it was in the era of willy-nilly private currency issuance, as well as direct currency issuance itself being reserved for the State.
At ~14:20 in the video they start describing the solar sails that get the spacecraft up to 22 AU/year in velocity, passing Pluto's orbit in 2 years (230,000 miles/hour or 105,000 m/s or 0.035%*c).
In the USA, there are XaaS solutions for most of these now.

It's possible to start a bank, issue cards, facilitate payments, etc. all on pre-built infra + APIs and your job becomes building the user experience and customer/vertical-specific tools on top.
I couldn't help but read this as lib-reboot but it should be read as libre-boot
> during much of the 1900s you were required to sell gold to the US government for USD rather than keep it under your mattress, and if you refused they had the right to seize it with force

Many considered this a violation of their rights. Justly so. I would say that "no such right is necessarily guaranteed" is only true in the sense that no rights at all are necessarily guaranteed.
Anti-vaxxers are disgusting. Ignorant, loud and the misinformation is as much a pandemic as the COVID pandemic.

If you browse the subreddit, you'd see a lot of people posting their vaccination cards after getting convinced.
As long as it doesn't cost more to administer, but the people are able to track funds better, it will solve the problem.

I don't expect things to be perfect, I just need them to be better.
Oh I suppose not all of them are differentiable, so they would be fungible. I thought they had some that do things like track ownership/number of kills etc which would make them non-fungible & I'd say they are tokens.

You as the end user just don't own them.
It is disgusting. The whole situation is disgusting. People refusing to take a vaccine and/or wear a mask to avoid being a burden to the healthcare system (or the morgues) is disgusting. I think the link is relevant to the context of the problem.
"And what does quitting even mean here?"

It means nothing. We have a specialized nurse in our family. He can get a job at anytime anywhere in the US. One phone call, hired. He will quit a job because the break room doesn't have enough light OR he just wants a month off. He often will go back to a hospital he quit four times: re-hired that day.
> Not only is that unconstitutional

While I do study relevant US laws as required in my job (requiring familiarity with how law operates in countries where we operate), I am not an American, but I do understand certain things with regards to the US constitution and relevant case laws.

The Congress originally meets only for a few months' time, usually less than 6 months. This is due to the reality of the time, where travel is slow and representatives only receive a comparable salary to most people. Thus, it is exactly empowered to delegate certain powers to the executive branch. As someone mentioned, the administrative law is a cornerstone law and yet it delegates many powers to the executive branch.

In fact, said law and many, many, many similar (federal) laws have been upheld constitutional in the Supreme Court. There are certain powers that only Congress can do, and cannot be delegated to the executive branch, but it is clearly laid out in the constitution what those are (notably spending). Now I said federal because in certain states, the legislature can only delegate in very narrow situations (usually only in cases where lives would be in danger or in the protection of properties and where a need of immediate response is demonstrated).

So I'm confused why are you saying that is unconstitutional, in fact American history shows a very different answer. If you think that should be not allowed, you're entitled to your own opinion. However unless I read it incorrectly, the constitution, even considering the various amendments, is unfortunately not aligned with your opinion.
Do you have a trust fund?
why title omits "Microsoft", don't want to hurt that company stock market?
It doesn't celebrate people dying, it celebrates people for dying, with an award. Many, many lives have been saved through their noble sacrifices and effective self-censorship.
Yes, I thinks so but it might depend on your audience, mobile bounce rate, content churn, and image automation build. Meaning you might find it preferable to serve most of your visitors images 60% smaller then worry much about those that are not evergreen.
> Black and native trans women suffer more

Not by virtue of its blackness, indigenous or sex status, but only in relation to other people. If other people were to praise blackness, indigenousness and being non-man, it would not suffer, but thrive.

Do not essentialize.
Epic didn't fundamentally offer anything different from Steam, it's just games that would've otherwise been on Steam that epic bribed to be on epic. That from the outset annoyed a lot of people and the funny thing about fortnite is, the people who play it... only really play it alone. So getting them onboard doesn't necessarily mean they'll buy anything else on epic.

In terms of getting people on board, I expect it'll come down to how much content gets pushed out by streamers and youtubers, if a game's hot on twitch people will likely at least try it, especially since I'd expect most crypto games to go f2p.
I haven’t watched it either (yet). I found this an interesting perspective however - https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/10/dave-chapp...
its just social media working as designed
Using multiple interpreters with message passing is a workable, if expensive, way to deal with the problem. It is trading one cost for another. (These sort of tradeoffs are encountered all the time in business, to be sure.)
Ah, cool. If you implement ToJSON from aeson for a type in Haskell, you also can do yaml serialization without any extra work (besides bringing in the YAML library, but the point is that the yaml library reuses ToJSON), but I don't know about alllll of those others that I see here: https://serde.rs/#data-formats)

Pretty cool!
