> Someone recently pointed out on IRC that Python is transitioning away from a language with "one implementation, and the implementation is the spec" to "one preferred implementation with an informal spec, but many alternative implementations".

I don't think this is a new thing at all. When I first heard of Python a decade and a half ago, the "pitch" in the official docs back then was that "Python" was a programming language while "CPython" was the reference implementation of it. And the docs were (and still are) quite careful to point out which things are implementation details of CPython and are not to be relied upon if portability to other implementations or future versions of CPython are desirable features.

I don't know what you mean about an "informal spec", the the full formal specification of Python (the language) is here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html
The announcement doesn't even require a phone... it just requires SOME second device to confirm your identity. There are several alternatives.

And as others have said, you can use another product.
U.S. air safety chief says Boeing has 'more work to do'
Near as I can tell, this has to do with how many different people a problem has been reported by. Either strict numbers or turns of phrase finally changes the mind of the holdouts.

I started sending people to ask the person who has been vetoing the change about why we can’t have nice things. Sometimes it works.
Yes, who would get into a vehicle when the outside air pressure is below 5 PSI. I mean if the seals broke you could die, and for what to save on fuel costs. What’s next flying through the air in a flying brick instead of the naturally buoyant dirigible, just imagine what happens if the engine cuts out… It’s madness, madness I say!
I’m not an expert here but I’ve heard 8020 is expensive enough such that purchasing a drill press would probably be cheaper, if feasible, correct?
Are you able to use SoFI? SoFi have a pre-IPO kinda thing, that lets you buy shares "before others".
Yep. Also see: Wuhan lab, and the US ties to it.

You could, but the vast majority of people probably won't.
Having written realtime ray tracers in the classic demoscene style on e.g. 300 MHz Pentium 2 Celeron (the original one with no cache, that overclocked to 450-550 MHz), I sometimes wonder about how cool it would be to open source a modern rendering engine around the time of the first Pentium 3 with SSE, in 1999.

You could completely revolutionise computer graphics on that era of hardware, with the view to increasing vectorisation, and probably strongly steer it towards ray tracing instead of rasterisation (even skipping over the local minimum of k-D tree methods, the introduction of Surface Area Heuristic and eventually settling on modern BVH building and traversal).

Israel and Egypt both being top recipients of US aid is part of the peace arrangement. Egypt is by far Israel's strongest neighbor, militarily. No coalition of neighboring states has any chance defeating Israel without them, so the US pays Egypt not to mess around with Israel.
A human driver would have sped up or slowed down to get ahead of or behind the blocking car or they would slowly inch over the line to force themselves in

Standups feel good because the uniform process gives a sense of control. But software requires constant decision making based on the specific problem of the moment, and you can't globally define a process that works across all these problems.
No, you have it mixed up. Wlroots is on the server, the Xlib problem is explicitly with client libraries.
Autoimmune issues may fit that bill in people with the right genetics. They can cause and/or contribute to CKD, which could push someone into kidney failure with other insults (eg dehydration), and can also contribute to dementia.
Why would Ethereum's value tank when it shall be switching entirely to PoS (the PoS chain is already up and running perfectly fine btw)?

Ethereum shall also lower the block reward, lower the fees, and make more people hold on to their ETH to get the staking reward.

Why would the price tank? Also ETH is already at 1/2th the "market cap" of Bitcoin, so a takeover is definitely not unthinkable.
i;m sorry you took that personally, it wasn't meant to be. but it's really up to you to separate your own ego from your arguments, i can't be held accountable for hurt feelings

also i don't think i was being dismissive, i correctly characterized your argument.

if you believe that accountability is neither possible nor effective (in this case? in all cases?) then there's really nothing to argue. I can't change the mind of someone that doesnt want to have their mind changed.

i do think think your comment about improved reporting and scrutiny over funding is interesting. because we are still funding the wuhan lab. and we did have reports of gain of function from EcoHealth Alliance back in 2018 that the NIH is denying.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/10/nih-admits-funding-r...

who watches the watchers? at the end of the day, accountability is an unavoidable solution if we want to have any hope of a fair and just system.

or, we can be fatalist-deafetists that think such a system is impossible and we just have to accept whatever disasters happen to us.

It would still have some compressible strength, right ? While not really being crushed under its own weight by default.

Ask HN: What constitutes actionable workplace harassment?
Hello HN, I need some advice here: bossman is not fun to work for. Raises his voice in meetings, gets upset, and fails to listen to what I have to say. I’ll point out a problem with how we do things, and he says I’m complaining. Also completely unreasonable with my time: mandatory meetings at 7am, and then 7pm. Sometimes with little warning. Frequent calls after hours, on weekends, when I’m trying to enjoy time with my family.

Starting to get PTSD from it. Awhile back he threatened to fire me for things like being blocked by other things.

Last Friday night, I was part of a deal to migrate an AWS EMR cluster from Intel instances, to graviton. My end went fine. A pair of apps was having issues coming up. I was released as I was done. I made sure to let everyone know that they could call me and I’d come help.

The next afternoon, Saturday, I got a call from bossman. I was in the middle of a home project that has been repeatedly delayed due to work things happening off hours. I didn’t answer, and was left a vm
That I can only describe as psychotic, where I was threatened with being fired due to the “failed migration” - no room for human error, didn’t follow SOPs, maximum punishment of firing, under investigation, but the co prides itself on being very fair (???).

At this point I had assumed the apps with issues were back up as I’d had no comms to say otherwise. None. Not an email,
Not a slack msg, no one had called looking for help. I was very concerned.

So, my question: at what point does this become actionable harassment?

My actions so far: fwd vm to HR (after having previously talked to them about the threats). Also sent vm to a director level dude outside of my chain of command, that went to his vp, and the CTO with this.

I’d add that we’ve lost at least 3 people since this guy took over, and morale absolutely sucks in my group right now.

And yes, I am TOTALLY, looking for a new gig. I thought I had something lined up, but the department was given enough headcount after fiscal year end and reqs had to be shuffled around and my position was tossed over board.

I intend to vote with my feet, but in the mean time I. We’d to protect myself and my fam.

Advice kindly requested.
When did epidemiologists forget about superspreading and the dispersion number in transmitting SARS-CoV-2?

Household transmission may be the bulk of all transmissions, but without superspreading you don't get very good household-to-household transmission and the virus doesn't propagate well. And we've known that for almost 2 years now.

What is the effect of vaccination on superspreading? That's about literally the only question I care about when it comes to vaccinated transmission, and nobody is bothering to study it.

Tone of voice, body language, hesitation, etc. Non-verbal clues that maybe you can help your teammember, or that they can help you.

It gets better if there's some detail about the task, like "Still working on X, runtime is too slow but I found a paper linked from Wikipedia with a promising algorithm." Lots of inferred and implied knowledge transfer can happen through intetactions that seem simple on the surface. E.g. in my example here, ideas of how to approach research for a task, what kinds of obstacles are normal, etc.

If you're not building camaraderie, then maybe your standup isn't set up right or at the right time, but that doesn't mean the concept or the information is useless.

And as a last resort, if you can't change something, then put in your own effort to make the best of it instead of just wasting the time entirely.

A Mergenthaler company survived into the 1990s. Its L-202 laser typesetting output unit was widespread in the early 1980s, and its L-300 allowed Postscript output.
A single engineer owner with multiple contractors is different from multiple employees under a single engineer owner in what way? It is dishonest to claim that one is “one-person” while another is not when they are organizationally the same.

Reminds me of people that call themselves “retired early” when they are effectively entrepreneurs with their own businesses and side hustles.

Kudos to the original poster though for making a business that they own by themselves I assume. However, taking all the credit for themselves despite using contractors to build their company is disingenuous.

Stepful (YC S21) Is Hiring
Those teams still wouldn't switch because they wouldn't gain any performance from switching. After all CPython is just calling highly optimized, already compiled C, Fortran or Accelerator specific (CUDA, ROCm, TPU) code as far as they are concerned.
The problem is simple. Whatever you do, don't blindly implement something just because it is written in a book or an article.

Agile is about focusing on constantly improving processes.

Ask yourself, "Are the standups paying for themselves? Are they improving my process? If they are not, can I do something to fix them? Is there something else I can do that would be less disruptive and more worthwhile?"

If there is no benefit, continuing to run inefficient process is anti-agile and, frankly, stupid.

Over the years I have participated in a lot of standups that are basically progress reports to the manager. Those teams usually already had a Jira, so this was just a stupid waste of time for something that did not provide any value.

The value of standups is in interactions between team members that would not normally happen without them. Like finding out somebody has a problem that I know an answer to. Or figuring out your task is no longer needed because of somebody else is doing something that makes it obsolete. Or noticing somebody is overworked and that I can spare some time to help them so that the team collectively delivers more on its promise.

I have learned that low trust between team members precludes exchange of useful information on a standup and basically negates any value you could get from it.

When people treat standup as progress report to the manager and have low trust towards their manager and peers, they tend to guard any information to not pass anything that could by accident backfire on them.

Another reason I have seen standups be a waste of time is when people don't really work as a team but rather as a collection of single person projects. When other people work on things that are completely unrelated to what I am doing and in fact understanding requires knowledge that I don't have, there is very little value coming from telling the progress of what I am working on.
Thanks for this comment. I think there's an important distinction that's worth clarifying.

Automation is great in most circumstances, and truly does free humans to do more meaningful work. But my take is that you can quickly push up against cases where it's unclear that you've improved a situation. It's easy to make the judgement that you have when you reduce time spent on doing "mundane" work.

Perhaps there is a heuristic that can be developed to let someone quickly assess the usefulness of automating a certain task. Would be happy to discuss this more.
It is very difficult to engineer animals with symptoms mimicking human dementia so they can effectively be trialed with drugs before testing on people.

This is the exact reason dementia / Alzheimer’s research is littered with dozens of high-profile failed clinical trials; after billions and decades poured into this area and nothing to show.

I would be interested to see non-murine, primate-based(?) clinical findings before I get my hopes up again. We have seen this pattern too many times; a compelling agent, pathway, or signaling mechanism is found, targeted, and shows great promise in mice, even sometimes in primates. And once we get to human trials it fails because we cannot replicate dementia accurately in these test vehicles.
If it is reserved for when you have something interesting to tell, I can see the benefit. An expectation of fixed interval contribution is excessive. Then you just get the ridiculous "I worked on X yesterday. I will work on X today." out of lack of anything else to say.
what you're dancing around is linear independence, which is the idea that two functions can't be described as a function of each other, which also means they can be used to specify every other function in the intervening function space. the least number of linearly independent coordinate functions (usually transformed down to unit vectors) is the dimensionality of the system. note that you can have linearly dependent functions/coordinate systems, which this '5d' moniker is akin to.
> By refusing to fill positions

I think it's less about refusing to fill positions and more about refusing to fix hiring practices that discriminate against all but the most formulaically ideal candidate.

People who've paid for past transgressions need jobs. So do first time job seekers, people over 40, people with no credit and people living in the 'wrong' zip-code.

Stop whining and hire them for the jobs they can fill.
> Only problem is with 2 feet of snow on the ground, no one will bike or walk

In the absence of systems for snow removal, most people wouldn't be driving in 2 feet of snow either (yes, some do it, but some people drive in all sorts of reckless circumstances).

The cities in the intersection of "viable to thrive without a car" and "get a lot of snow" mostly do a good job of dealing with the latter to preserve the former. They usually clear snow quickly on the thoroughfares, sidewalks and bike lanes and have other solutions (tunnels, non-road transit, etc) for managing the more difficult journeys.

You're absolutely right, though is this case even the taste-free text is offending enough people. Being a leader means you'll offend someone, so it becomes an exercise in whom you're ok with offending.

ha, thank you for your honest feedback. My intended audience is not PhDs or math majors, it is high school physics teachers, practicing engineers, programmers, precocious high school students, etc. Many of these people benefit from some definitions.

I include 3 sentences defining a scalar so that I could introduce the concept of grade.

I include a few sentences defining a vector because just read the comments here and you'll see there are many definitions of vector and I want to specifically call out the one I care about in this post. I am also using a nonstandard, color-based notation throughout the article so it is helpful to take a concept that people already know just to demonstrate my notation. This also lets me introduce the 3D interactive illustrations.

Did you read the rest of the article or were these two definitions so objectionable that you quit?
Total ratio is only relevant if you want to know how much the sub/car slowed down. Kinetic energy is more relevant if you want to know the physical damage sustained.

Here in Brazil we've had over 3500 deaths from people under 18, including over 320 babies under 1 year old.

To be fair (not trying to imply mRNA vaccines modify your DNA), there are a lot of systems, especially past but also present (with vulnerabilities), where the right (wrong) print job could end up permanently modifying your system's kernel instructions.
> Don't ever let any Bitcoin or NFT shills get away with lying to you that their cryptocurrencies and CryptoKitties and Digital Pet Rocks run on renewable energy.

Cryptokitties run on Ethereum and Ethereum is already partially using PoS. Now from day one people have said "PoW does not work" and yet PoW, so far, is still working. People are now saying "PoS does not work" and yet, so far, PoS is working.

The cryptocurrencies haters better come up with something else than the "energy" argument against cryptocurrencies because the shift to PoS is coming and it's coming fast.
