Having spent a lot of time on data science teams, rewriting hot sections of text processing code in Cython to obtain acceptable performance, I can tell you that I would have gladly switched away from CPython specifically for those tasks. If you're using Conda, it's almost trivial to have a PyPy environment alongside a CPython environment in the same project. You run the data processing scripts/notebooks with the former and the machine learning stuff with the latter.

But my post was more oriented towards non-data-science uses of Python, like writing an API server or a web crawler or a TUI application. I think the "serve a prediction from a PyTorch model" part threw off the conversation a bit!
YMMV.

When have you last played, for how long and in which server? I've had terrible experiences overall on some of the popular ones.
That's a good point and I had not taken that into account. Thank you for pointing that out.
Kill switches sound great in theory until you disable a service used to host a billion dollar company, a hospital admission network, or your biggest paying customer.

The solution here is to offer a security notification service, which GitLab does. It's up to the admins to maintain these systems. It's GitLab's job to give them the information they need to do so, which they have.
Wow, that's a pretty similar setup I'm looking at making in the next couple months. Thanks for the link.
You weren't being "ageist". It's normal to assume that old people live at home and aren't out doing many things. It's also normal to assume that 16 year olds get acne.

Please don't let someone censor you for acting rationally.
Not relevant to Western transmission of AIDS. It is the primary transmission mechanism in Africa.

The difference is that Westerners generally form small, closed sexual networks, while Africans participate in a gigantic sexual network including most of the local sexually active population.

The term of art here is the fairly awkward "multiple simultaneous sexual partners", but that concept isn't quite enough - a typical Westerner with multiple simultaneous sexual partners might be a man with a wife and a mistress, but when neither of them is cheating on him, that's still just a tiny, closed three-person network. But in Africa, the typical case is that most people have multiple simultaneous sexual partners, so even with the low transmission rate from heterosexual intercourse, the paths still exist for the virus to flow from one person in the society to (almost) anyone else.

(I don't think mettamage deserved to be downvoted. I specified gay sex for a reason, but the followup question "why not heterosexual sex?" is pretty obvious. It has a lower transmission rate, but that's a minor issue compared to the behavioral difference.)
So in your opinion then, if it were to be true, should the facts be covered up in order to prevent more hypothetical violence? I’m confused about this line of thinking.

Hydro Quebec only generates hydroelectricity in the main grid. Some islands that aren't connected may use thermal generators.

The highest value projects to employers are individual, custom, novel, contemporary, domain-specific, applied, potentially high-value business impact, and end-to-end.

Lower value projects are the inverse - group, generic, templated, uses outdated technologies, rehash of common examples, academic, and research-oriented.

It's 100% complete bullshit. There are no non-renewable sources connected to the Hydro-Quebec main grid. Fossil fuels are only used for some islands that aren't connected to the main grid.
I just saw a video on Bloomberg about eating lab grown chicken. https://youtu.be/TPQqXL8WVPk it’s a bit rubbery with a different texture and it’s dryer, so it sounds like it’s still inferior to the humble chicken nugget.

The article says no price yet (not surprised), it’ll be able to make 50,000lb a year, and the government has not approved its products for sale.
"Surprisingly, these benchmarks seldom exceed 50% load on any of the ten cores, which raises the question of how accurately they represent maximum CPU performance."

Eh, maybe. I'm not inclined to rely on the reported % CPU usage to represent anything useful. For example, it's very easy to be at 100% CPU when you're actually spending most of that time waiting for memory reads.
I have never worked on a project where the db being “down” was anything less than a catastrophe, as seemingly compared to a regular hiccup in this article.
> No, there's a tone of 'exactly how dead is dead'. If you look at the other commenter, sometimes doctors jump the gun.

No, they don't - you made a misunderstanding which perpetuated a line of questioning which isn't a practical concern. Brain Death + other criteria depending on jurisdiction is a pre-requisite for cadaveric organ donation

As to the rest, you have approached this from the perspective of 'prove to me that X doesn't happen' which is perilously close to that of the antivax/antiscience brigades.

I apologise for thinking the worst of you but I wasn't the only one which perhaps reflects on the approach you have taken in your line of questioning in these highly polarised times
I think having 4 of my fingers holding places on different pages in a reference book is the best analogue representation of the hundred tabs I open whenever I browse Wikipedia.
There are always enough hours in the day to waste answering every single instance of bullshit posted to the internet with a thoroughly researched, evidence-based point for point rebuttal that would only be buried under another layer of bullshit.

This is the internet. It's full of pedants who do it all day long and then do it again tomorrow. It's the method by which we determine whether the thing is actually bullshit.

Nobody is requiring you to read or participate in the arguments. If you only want to know the end result, get off Twitter and find someone you trust to summarize them and read their summary. But that's no reason to shut down the debate.
+1 as the YC community is amazing!
I think Cython is kind of a different category, but I have found that pretty much any Python program gets a comfortable 50% speedup simply by compiling it with Cython.

Nuitka probably is worth mentioning along these lines too.
This is really cool!

One thing though - case sensitivity? I think that should go away; having to get capitalization right slows down typing a lot.

Pretty neat to get it so small. Though it suffers the same problem that tcl originally had, but fixed later. Reusing C strings as tcl strings means you can't read or write a NULL character. Which would probably be limiting on a microcontroller.
Windows 11 comes with one by default now so you don’t need to download one even.
If you care about first load time, then the web font will have a significant impact. However there are no "web safe fonts" eg. fonts that exist on The top 95% most common systems. You can choose between sans-serif or serif (non fancy, or fancy), and monospace... but you can't really know what font your web page will be displayed in, so better use font-settings (size, etc) that works for most fonts. Never assume an element will have a static with. 800x600 used to be the standard, but now with so many devices the width of the page can be anything... What I usually do is resize the window width using the mouse back and forth, as well as zooming in and out, to see if there are nay issues anywhere, like things looking bad. Assuming the user can use anything from a smartwatch to an 80 inch wide TV.
I think it’s a mask diagram not a die shot, in any case these features are common for that era especially for the metal layers / ic traces look at die shots of a Z80 and it’s clones.
That's a bullshit argument. Farmers have never been stopped seriously by lockdowns outside of the first world where migrant workers are used. The food is there. Those countries have price controls, so the food won't be burnt.

I really love Julia Galef's take on this in the book "The Scout Mindset: Why Some People See Things Clearly and Others Don't". It's not quite humility, but it's close. Instead of trying to win arguments, try to find out what's true. Be humble in what you know and don't know. Every once and a while try to calibrate your confidence. [0]

>Information is subjective.

Subjective (adj)[0]:

existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking
subject rather than to the object of thought;

pertaining to or characteristic of an individual;

placing excessive emphasis on one's own moods,
attitudes, opinions, etc.;

Philosophy. relating to or of the nature of an
object as it is known in the mind as distinct from
a thing in itself.

relating to properties or specific conditions of
the mind as distinguished from general or

pertaining to the subject or substance in which
attributes inhere; essential.

You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Old memes aside, I (as a reasonably intelligent person) don't understand what you mean by that.

Please explain what you mean by "subjective" in this context.

Are you arguing that information like "the heat of vaporization of water is 100C at sea level," or "the island of Manhattan has a land area of ~23 square miles" is only valid or correct if I as an individual decide that's the case, otherwise it's false?

How about information like "On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address," or "I voted in the 2021 elections."

Are those subjective?

Ah, yes. What do I know... but this Russian CPU still looks much more "weird" than a Z80! The Z80 has 90 and 45 degree angles, this thing also has like 10 degree angles, and wavy structures, and big curves, and triangles.
> Then the expected chance that it's true is 50%.

No it is not. Randomly generated ideas are much less likely than 50% to be true.

For example, I could make two claims: COVID was a leaked research project, and COVID is a leaked research bioweapon. These claims cannot both be 50% probable, because the second claim is more specific version of the first and therefore must be less likely.
I recently found myself in the same position by being in Asia while working for a European company. All my free time is in the morning without having to wake up early (in the dark). I go surfing or swimming/gym and then work 12pm-11pm with some breaks for lunch and dinner. I go to bed straight after working, which means I've stopped drinking. It's made a huge difference to my quality of life and I hope I can keep this up forever. Having to wake up and go straight to work seems like a depressing thought now.
The scam that is BBB aside, it doesn't seem like their services really scale to a product the size of Amazon.com.

Amazon shoves so much stuff onto their website that I don't think a single review would really do any part justice.

I'm happily surprised that they haven't tried to pull Audible onto it.
those also require real or simulated data to get good recommendations, which is sometimes hard. if you're going to go that far, you might as well create real indexes.

besides, in some environments access to the real data (if there's PII) is much more difficult to get, so simulating is as far as you can go.
I like story teller, but I feel like it doesn't involve the players enough.

Yes, you're correct that it's possible to trade some more highly emissive things for less emissive things, such as an ICE car with an electric car, and that won't necessarily lower GDP. But that's not what I'm talking about. Trying to prevent climate change is mostly a massive waste of time, effort, and money if you're only going to knock out a quartile or half of emissions. Even if we get to the point that the world emits 18 billion tons of CO2 per year instead of the 36 billion we do at present, the climate will continue to warm, and so you'll have spent all this time, money, and effort and still be where we are today anyway.

So when we're talking about stopping all greenhouse gases and preventing further warming of the planet, you're going to necessarily cripple economic output, and as far as I can detect, it's going to be by a lot more than 2% of GDP.
A "distributed database" is a willfully naive approach to understanding crypto.

Most people frankly probably hype crypto as a get rich quick scheme. They see a green pasture with a lack of established players and hope they can be the next "Wolf of Blockchain Street" (or at least make some more modest profit).

Many people hyping the tech on less greedy grounds see it as a way around governments. And it is.. sorta. You still need to follow laws, but now the government has a weaker arm to enforce them against you since you don't need big financial firms.

On the flip side, Crypto also is potentially more egalitarian since you don't need big financial firms to do financial stuff - anyone can mine (at a small scale at least) to potentially make some small income, and certain complex financial actions can be done for "free-ish" in smart contracts (conditional swaps/lending, escrow, multi-sig transactions). Obviously you're not doing "real world" items in escrow like a house, but many financial transactions that are done in complex trades and wall-street type activities often require underwriting from big banks.

This is good and bad. Take flash loans:

> Flash loans are uncollateralized cryptocurrency loans structured so that they must be paid back instantly using smart contracts, making them attractive for things like arbitrage across exchanges. If the loan isn’t paid back, then it never happens, because both occur in the same transaction.

The good:

You can't do such transactions as a regular person in the real world, because most banks would never talk to you if you asked for such uncollateralized loans for trading.

The bad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29033024
I.e. what this is referring to as "combating disinformation" is just within yourself, by means of adopting humility.

If you have humility (accepting the possibility that you are fallible and wrong), you are less susceptible to be fooled by disinformation that is based on appealing to the naive individual's sense of infallibility.

It does not speak to "combating disinformation" as in actually duking it out against disinformants, and winning, so that the objective quantity of disinformation in the world is diminished.

There, humility won't help you very much. The bad actors can simulate humility. In fact that is one common strategy. Spreaders of misinformation typically claim that they are rational, unbiased and willing to be wrong---in contrast of whatever they speak against.

A common pattern argument used by disiformants, for instance in this recent area of Covid-19 vaccines, is that science is arrogant and self-assured of its own infallibility (in effect, that science lacks humility). A good proportion of the masses is taken in by this, because, why, in fact, the way that the public officials have been behaving does in fact exhibit a lack of humility: they just assert they are right based on what the science is telling them this week, and then tell people what they can and cannot do, or must do.

("Science is arrogant and self-assured, lacking humility" is nothing new; for instance, it's a staple of the creationist argument against evolution.)
Also a good explanation of the pattern: https://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/outbox/

Maybe this because of personal historical perspective but I think I have an idea as to why. PHP7 wasn't released yet and FB was the creator of it. I think those two decisions influenced using Hack (as the staff may have been big PHP users) instead of waiting for PHP7 and how it would be adopted/grow. Also, it supports typing arguments which was probably the idea to handle complexity.
Why would Hungarians succumb to a totalitarian system that benefits a small minority (as it is painted in the article) so soon after the yoke of Russia broke? There was an uprising against even it in the fifties and Hungary was the first prison state to breach its own walls. Why are they so submissive now?
The virus-like things they are making don't have any genetic material. If they get out nothing interesting happens.

To use an analogy with computer viruses, they have the part that given a target system exploits an unpatched vulnerability to load a payload onto the target, but their payload doesn't have the code to scan for other systems to infect.

I’m a big fan of Peloton and pay for the expensive option. You’re right that if you’re on a budget, you can get a very similar experience for a lot less. But for many folks like software engineers a few hundred dollars a year (plus a few thousand up-front) is relatively insignificant. For me, I lost a lot more weight than any other fitness routine in the past. Could I have done it with a cheaper indoor cycle and the basic app? Maybe, but I’m willing to pay a bit extra to maximize something important like my health.

I’m all for having a chat with people in real life but all the internet has shown us is here is that we weren’t and are not very methodical in forming our opinions, the speed of incoming information or ability to communicate quicker over distance hasn’t worsened it, it’s just shown up how poor it is. There were plenty of conspiracy theories before Twitter and Facebook.

Regardless, the best method for improving knowledge is making it available to criticism, which is why I favour free speech and openness over this silly culture of “fact checking”, algorithmic censorship and “hate” speech. If it means someone does or doesn’t do something someone else dislikes or thinks is wrong but is legal, like not taking a vaccine, then so be it, they’re adults.

Was wondering what was up with the battery icon and the reddish warm overlay but I continued reading. At some point it started burning through my eyes and tapped the battery:

“This website runs on a solar powered server located in Barcelona, and will go off-line during longer periods of bad weather. This page shows live data relating to power supply, power demand, and energy storage.
”
So in this example:

<div class='text-base font-sans font-medium rounded-lg bg-gray-100 text-black py-3 text-center cursor-pointer'>Button</div>

What happens if I have 20 of these divs and need to modify py-3 to py-4? Can I create a "local" .css file to "group" these tailwind classes ala pseudocode below?

.divxyz-default {
@extend text-base;
...
@extend bg-gray-100;
....
}

If so, then the div becomes <div class='divxyz-default'>. A thought came to mind that in that case I have gone back to CSS modules but then we still have some benefits of standardized classes e.g. instead of specifying how much roundness, I am using standard amount of roundness via "rounded-lg" and if I want to change that globally, I can edit in one place. I am probably missing something.

People use vim for purposes other than code editing. Being able to think about a document in terms of it's logical structure is often beneficial, may that be the structure of a sentence in prose or fields of a record in a CSV file.

If you are only developing software, vim isn't the best program for the job. By default, it is missing important features of an IDE. Customizing it to fill those gaps is difficult. Yet if you're working of different types of text files, the skills that you learn in one domain are transferrable to another domain. If you are proficient at editing documentation and data files in vim, you're probably going to prefer it for editing code since you are building upon pre-existing skills.
