It reminds me of Lenin signing lists of people to be executed and when asked later about it, saying that his signature was just to show he had read the list not to approve of executions.
Python does, via pypy [1], which has very impressive performance and Python3 support. However, there are some subtle drawbacks, e.g., building from source takes hours instead of seconds (like CPython), and C extensions are slower. Still, the performance of pypy on a wide range of pure Python microbenchmarks is extremely impressive, and comparable to V8 (I've been collecting such benchmarks at [2] lately).

I tried to use this once and it was a mess, for some reason I had to go through multiple steps of creating and enabling tunnels, and in the end nothing worked.

Yes. People have great fascination with many inanimate objects, usually with exceptional features or stories based around them. They seek to protect and understand these objects at great depth.

That reminds me of the old “120% time” problem at Google[0]. Sounds like your partner had a bad manager. Much easier to change managers than companies if your partner is/was otherwise happy with Google. Or, given the CV mojo of a Google job, to go to a different FAANG.

In Europe such scaling is generally guaranteed by law, and I don’t think any big company would be stupid enough to be caught cheating. And based solely on anecdata I think at least as many people are “phoning it in” at Google as at any other company regardless of salary.

Hope it worked out for your partner. Being exploited with lots of privilege is still being exploited.

[0]: Google famously used to let workers spend 20% of their time working on anything they wanted (for the company’s benefit) but bad managers, which turned out to be most managers, did not reduce the load of “normal” work, so it became known as 120% time.

I moved to Calgary in 1997. At this point, I’d kill to say I was an infant, but I was already an adult. At least I was a young adult??

I remember the weekend I drove out to find a place to live. It was early July and I was looking to rent for September 1. There was nothing available. I don’t mean there was nothing in my price range or there were places, but they were at the corner of crack rock and gunshot wound. There was nothing…

Sunday morning, I called my boss to tell her that I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to find a place. I drove back to Regina Monday without even looking at a place. By Tuesday, she talked one of her friends into renting me a room in his house and I couriered a year of rent cheques to him without even seeing the place.

Six months in, I started looking for an apartment. I lucked out, found a one bedroom and was so damned happy that I rented two places for two months. Nobody in Calgary was even remotely surprised that I’d pay rent on two places - rather, they were surprised that I only rented two places for two months.

Work wise, my company wasn’t even that big, but we couldn’t find enough space for all of us in one building so we were spread out over parts of six floors in four buildings. I liked working there, but if I ever had a bad morning, I could have walked out, made a half dozen calls, walked to my friend’s record store on 17th and had six job offers by the time I made it back downtown. Some of my friends who interviewed there had final questions like “Can you start now? No, what about later this afternoon? Okay, tomorrow? What if we pay you a two week bonus?”
The article covers this. It's because WebGL has texture readback, giving you access to the pixel data.

It is important to note that Boeing settled for 2.5 billion in which it is agreed that "...the misconduct by its former employees was “neither pervasive across the organization, nor undertaken by a large number of employees, nor facilitated by senior management".
(https://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-reaches-2-5-billion-sett...).

So remember, when push comes to shove, the technical lead always gets thrown to the wolves while management goes "we don't know about that technical stuff".

Not to detract in any way from what he is culpable for.
Who is they? Because drivers licenses are issues by the State, not by a federal entity. Also, I didn't prove my address with an electric bill or anything when I got my license. They asked me where I lived, I told them. I could have easily lied, and still gotten my license.

WhatsApp Encryption – Techinal White Paper
I think Cliff Cummings have really good explanations, motivations for this:

http://www.sunburst-design.com/papers/CummingsSNUG2003SJ_Sys...

http://www.sunburst-design.com/papers/CummingsSNUG2000Boston...

But in general, when I see people struggle with Verilog and think it is hard to understand, it is code which have a single (clocked) process implementing everything. With non-blocking assignments everywhere, understanding the flow becomes really hard to follow.

Usage of blocking and non-blocking assignments also affects how Verilog stratified simulation model schedules events. So how you code will in fact can affect how and how fast your design simulates.

Cliff Cummings and Ivan Sutheland have several papers on how coding style affects both simulation and synthesis results. Highly recommend both authors. Some of them are quite old, but many of them are still very much valid.

http://www.sunburst-design.com/papers/

Ivan Sutherlands Verilog HDL reference guide has been extremely useful for many, many years:

https://sutherland-hdl.com/pdfs/verilog_2001_ref_guide.pdf

In short, it matters because code is read by humans, and style affect how easy it to read, modify and maintain. And the tools (as much a tool can) do care and their results are affected by code style.

During core development I often at least load/compile code using a number of tool (ModelSim, Vivado, Quartus, Icarus, Verilator, VCS, Libero etc), even though for a given project I probably will only use a single simulator and synthesis tool. It is often quite interesting to see how quite different the parsers will interpret code, what things will be flagged as problems.

You can pretty much blame wars and the US military for that. (I’ll dig up sources when I get on my computer) The gist is that the military funded R&D in preservatives and packaging still used today. Stores took advantage of it because it meant they could carry more inventory without worrying about rotting.

Yes, negative interest rates encourage long term thinking. Lower financing costs will result in less cost push inflation for manufactured goods and services.
They remove the need for a post capitalism system. They most likely would have stopped the great depression and prevented world war 2. They reduce inequality by forcing rich people to spend and invest their money instead of sitting on it during times of economic uncertainty.
Slightly off-topic but it was Pieter's dashboards like these, specifically the robots downtime grid, that inspired to build my own internal metrics and status dashboard for my SaaS. I have beautiful 3rd party UIs for superfluous stuff like my stock portfolio, why not my own business's data? It's one of those things that can take some time to build and doesn't add much value for customers at first, but delights me each time I visit it. And now that I've started measuring a bunch of different stuff, it has ultimately translated into indirect better user experience because I spot anomalies earlier.
IMO man can never truly, truly deal with his freedom that is why the search for a God persists.

so even this decent article is just a surface overview of a brilliant thinker and this reply chain continues such lack of attention towards careful reading and discussion of his text. instead we have everyone sounding off on their own conclusions about god, reality and religion. yet most of these comments are lacking. what exactly? they are lacking thorough, exacting, and critical thinking. sure, healthy opinions are couched in smart minds, but go a step further and read a book, then you can catch up beyond your clumsy, simple, internet level brains.
Right, serde is one of the many features about Rust that people miss when writing Go. Simply a group of downtrodden programmers bonding over a shared experience the memory of which evoked when reminiscing on a grand cathedral. But alas the mere reminder of the existence of such a grand structure weighs on the heart of the plebeian. No need to rub it in sorry gogrammers’ faces that their language is a limp noodle in comparison. Thanks for reminding us (;
I guess this works for growing things like lettuce, but high-calorie plants generally need lots of sun. It also only works if you have manual harvesting or some way to move the panels. That, and it's not like we have a shortage of places to put PV panels. So it's OK with a big asterisk, but if I were a farmer, I'd rather put up and wind turbine and drive my tractor around it.
Not in the US, but I've a close friend of mine who got rejected for an health insurance cause he's slightly overweight (and other people for preexisting conditions)

I'm not sure how that is in the US, but the abuse can come from anywhere and the result is likely to be worst that what they claim to be helping preventing.

> Health insurers can no longer charge more or deny coverage to you or your child because of a pre-existing health condition like asthma, diabetes, or cancer. They cannot limit benefits for that condition either. Once you have insurance, they can't refuse to cover treatment for your pre-existing condition.

I'm happy to see that is not the case in the US, but my was a general comment non necessary related to the US. But the fact that they're till law in the US presuppone that insurance company were behaving they way before.
Remote OK Founder Pieter here, thanks for submitting this and I hope everyone enjoys seeing it.

All of this is possible because I've been a HN reader since 2010 and was inspired by all of you and especially @patio11 on here to bootstrap my own things and do it VERY publicly. My entire marketing strategy is just sharing all my ups and downs, instead of paying for ads. A lot like @patio11 did in his blog posts.

This /open page is just another part of that besides my incessant tweeting about every little feature I built for years at https://twitter.com/levelsio.

Sure the Democratic party has well documented corruption. Both parties serve the owner/investment class and not the working(upper/middle/lower) class. No matter what you are not getting any progress in either party. Bernie tried and while he was a historic candidate just due to the size of his movement and the unbelievable amount of grassroots funding, they managed to crush him.

But if I had my pick as a non white person I'd definitely pick Democrats every time. There was a lot of depressing moments during the bush years after 9/11 but when Obama went into office(I was in college) it felt like a weight had been removed from not only me but everyone around me. It felt like the future could be anything I wanted it to be and that good times were ahead. People around me became more optimistic and positive. Yes he did not improve material conditions for many of the states. Even if he was a farce this alone was a very nice thing.

Then Trump brought back those terrible feelings that I couldn't quite explain when I was in Middle/High School. All I know is that whatever the Republicans are selling, i'm not buying ever. In my time on this planet all I have ever seen is them turn the sentiment in the country from optimistic to pessimistic.

The military is pretty objective but I have my doubts. The whole Air Force Academy having a large chapel and the notion that many enlisted and top brass are evangelicals that favor other Christians gets me thinking that it is not so cut and dry. I have considered joining just due to wanting to get that discipline and help to improve my country in some way but I have been advised against it for two reasons. My current salary is many multiples over whatever benefits I could get from the Air Force + multiple stories of racism and intolerance. It makes sense since many recruits are there because they have no other options so you're not getting the cream of the crop but i'm sure there are a lot of serious people in there as well and so in reality it is probably a mixed bag.

None of these are in any way constrained by the concentration of oxygen.

The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 0.04%. The amount of captured carbon that will be broken down through technology will be a fraction of this. It is unlikely to change the concentration of oxygen in anyway.
It's a bit late. If it was released by the time Rails was hip and cool it would for certain help with Ruby adoption and retention. But people in search for new and shiny thing jumped ships already to platforms such as Node.js which has decent performance.

> Do you really think "old" Microsoft thought that far into the future for this back then?

Yes.

- they killed Netscape in the 90s because they realised owning the web browser market meant locking people into Windows

- they ran the Xbox division for years at a loss knowing it would eventually pay out

- they bailed out Apple financially knowing that a long term competitor to Windows meant a reduced likelihood of monopoly violations

- they had a long term strategy attacking Linux (even going so far as to call it “communism”) before eventually caving and public ally supporting FOSS

- the whole long term “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” strategy is synonymous with old Microsoft. Eg Lotus Office comparability to sell MS Office licenses, then dropping support when MS Office became dominant.

- Windows 2000 and Me were never intended as long term strategies but instead as a gateway into merging the NT and 9x line of operating systems.

I could go on with examples from their dealings with IBM, Apple, Dr DOS, MSN and so on and so forth but I have two screaming kids I need to deal with. However you should get the idea
Outside the scope of this but a single massive megadose of acid took my migraines down from something that once took a shot of sumatripan 2x monthly to something I could treat with a pill or sleep off.

More regular microdoses(10-25ug) over a 3mo span removed them completely and the most I can say I've had since then (4-5yrs) are a few cluster headaches.

You know what else is "garbage?" - games. Because no one plays games on their phone, since a $3k gaming tower in their home is much better. I also never eat at Burger King - because their food is not as good as a 5 star restaurant. In fact, games without top of the notch 600W GPU graphics are not played by anyone. If you play solitaire, it needs to run at 120FPS and use raytracing.

This is also why Walmart went out of business, because their stuff, while cheap, is of lower quality. Why would I want a $10 "leather outer" belt when I can get full grain hyde from Sacks. Their grocery business failed too once Whole Foods showed up.

Well, Crystal is trying to imitate a language that is out of the public favor like Ruby.

Nim draws it's inspiration from Python which seems to be the most popular programming language as of today so it has better chances to succeed.

From the article...

“My reaction is that this was a carefully orchestrated attempt to convert official government election offices into get-out-the-vote operations for one political party and to insert political operatives into election offices in order to influence and manipulate the outcome of the election,” said von Spakovsky, a Republican who now runs the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative.

He added: “All states should ban private funding of government election offices no matter the source.”
