Pythons' USP was and still is its ability to provide a simple & intuitive "glue layer" over lower-level libraries. Most of the performance-critical functionality that Python relies on for ML is written in C/C++/Fortran and Python mostly provides the UI layer (this is an oversimplification of course).

Wrapper generators and compiler tools like Cython and before that SWIG made it very easy to glue existing functionality to Python, so together with Pythons' great usability and user-friendly language it created a killer combination for productive data science & ML.

That said other languages could've pulled this off as well, Ruby for example. Python had more early traction in the scientific and high-performance computing communities though whereas Ruby was more popular in web development (due to Rails), which ultimately gave Python the edge and attracted more and more toolmakers to its ecosystem, which in turn spurred further growth. Great "IDEs" like the iPython/Juypter notebook were also a key factor in Pythons' success, as they provided a super user-friendly UI for data scientists.
Yes, some of the history in the article is a bit ... simplistic, let's say.
The problem isn't curated app stores - those were great additions to the mobile ecosystem - but when there's only one app store allowed on the platform, especially when that app store is operated by the same company that owns the rest of the platform.

The cost of delivery doesn't really depend on price of order. Not even size of order, unless it's extreme.

3€ for delivery isn't really unreasonable, it's actually quite cheap. Let's say that it takes 10 minutes all together with going to restaurant pick-up/waiting, then going to drop off. With full utilization that would be 18€ an hour. Now remove 24% of VAT: 13.68€. Rest of the taxes and so on... In the end 3€ is probably too low. Even with some 30% from whole order price.
I have not experience this fool-proof plug and play on windows or mac os. I just last year replaced a printer because it wasn't working with my wife's Macbook Pro, it worked one day and just dropped of the face of the earth the next (was able to print over USB from my linux laptop still). The printers were I work constantly have issues working with the windows PCs.

Moral of the story, printers are a necessary evil and what is wrong with the world.

EDIT: For future readers if you don't see the responses. The home printer was a Brother.

Also, this is not a statement that Linux is better. Think of it as the experience of using printers in general is pretty shitty regardless what your computer is running.

No, it’s not. They’ve done so in the past.

Digitize - i use the document scanner feature in Onedrive but there's plenty alternatives. This is better than just a photo - uses less space, crops the image automatically and increases contrast of text on the page.

The digitized versions then go into a PARA system.

I suspect the real reason is "maybe turning profit-skimming by intermediate layers of management into an art-form, makes any large-scale project-costs trend to infinity".

How do you know that an iOS app doesn't do this exact thing? A curated app store cannot prevent the exploitation of so-far undiscovered security holes in the operating system.

Nice excuse by NASA for their horrible performance with SLS/Orion. Two system that should have been channeled a decade ago.

These systems are holding the NASA budget and the moon architecture hostage. NASA is not free to come up with good architectures because they have to use these sub-optimal tools.

Thanks to SpaceX, Starship development went forward, so no delay there.

The thing that was delayed is NASA and SpaceX working together on the interior of the Starship and the exact mission profiles NASA wants.
I think the recommendation to disallow any non-ASCII character is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

How about code that wants to display some emojis? It would be cumbersome to use hex unicode everywhere. And while localisations should typically happen in a separate language file, it's very common to want some text in code intended for a single audience.

Blocking all the confusables might be tricky, and an allow list would be endless. Perhaps some magic pre-processor comment that says "allow unicode in this file".
Correct. The labor board has issued its opinion that they should be considered employees but it hasn't yet been enforced by the courts.

Instead, all Wolt couriers in Finland have been "independent contractors" and had to have their own business name or do other paperwork, that because of how Finnish law works for small business owners, means they get cut off from any public health insurance, unemployment insurance, etc.

Courier work doesn't pay nearly enough to afford private insurance here, and since they aren't unionized (because after all they're not "workers" but business owners), they can't join a union unemployment benefit either.

There has been an ongoing attempt at unionization but it has been difficult to push through; the apps are fighting against it tooth and nail because they already run at a loss and underpay the drivers as it is. Wolt deliberately obfuscates how much couriers are making an hour in the driver app, runs propaganda articles on the customer app, and both it and Foodora have continued to fight against employee or union recognition in the courts.

It's become apparent for a while they are running scared, and running out of money. Quality of service has massively degraded over the last two years, as they've stripped support staff to the bone, manipulated delivery fees and ranges to nickle-and-dime customers, massive order delays and fudged estimates, started manipulating algorithms to push certain restaurants and promotions, rushed couriers causing constant order failures, which then mean more cost in customer refunds. It's god bad enough I stopped using it completely, because I just could no longer trust that I'd even get what I ordered, or that it wouldn't be left a sodden mess leaking all over my entryway.

It's an app that was probably going to implode if they didn't get a buyout and soon, so this move is incredibly predictable. My only surprise is just how greedy they went with the bogus valuation here.
Having spent time outside the US in shall we say, more “authoritarian” countries, the idea here is not that the government is out to “get you”.

The idea is the government will “massage” numbers to come to the conclusion they want.

The government wants as many people vaccinated as possible. As such they have little incentive to correct Covid deaths if the current number is an overstatement. And don’t get me wrong, counting Covid deaths is not trivial. So it’s not manipulation of data, it’s more like “our current way is fine in all it’s flaws”.
Almost too well done. It feels like advertising...
New theory suggests dark matter can create new dark matter from regular matter
> It really doesn't. You end up with a whole segment of engineers that effectively become invisible to the local tech scene, because they are way above the local rates.

If remote salaries will be significantly higher than local ones many governments will be tempted to raise/introduce taxes on foreign income (and in authoritarian ones it is easy to implement). Since cross-border payments in most countries are closely monitored it would be not hard to enforce. Which in turn would make local jobs more attractive in comparison.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

For the past ~15 years, I have scanned/saved documents in Evernote - and I do not file it in folders at all, but use their OCR feature, which lets me search inside documents.

Their scanner app on the phone let's me quickly scan a new document.

It is the best I have found so far.

I think Evernote have continuously gotten worse over the years (they keep adding "features" I do not care about), but at the core: Storing and indexing documents - I think it is still pretty great.

I see a couple of comment suggesting that go routines will be a problem, or channels, as if these are unique to go and deeply magical. Ruby has Fibers which could easily be used to implement go routines, and Ruby 3 has Fiber scheduling support that would make the job easier, and channels aren’t terribly hard to implement.

I think CRuby’s limit on the total number of Fibrrs would be lower than the number of go routines that can normally be supported, but TruffleRuby using Project Loom’s virtual threads could support vast numbers of Fibers when I prototyped it several years ago.
Not gonna argue on the rest but

> And you ignore the fact that if you use car batteries as storage for the grid, that detracts from their use to, you know, run cars.

well, actually car are parked and not used most of the time, even more during nights when there is no solar energy. And TBH this is my mid-term plan: solar panels to charge it by day and use its battery by night for lights and electric appliances (moving to an electric cold/heat pump for heating it's out of my budget currently, I'm on natural gas)
I often say that I can write a fairly acceptable, full-featured app in a couple of days, but, if I want it to be a shipping app, then expect it to take a couple of months.

I believe that schedule crunches aren't just management's fault. They are often exacerbated by engineers, not "playing the tape through," and giving unrealistic estimates, or agreeing to unrealistic estimates.
In an emergency situation, an actual emergency, not "I forgot to charge my phone and I've got a flat tire" but more "there is a major power outage and all the cell networks are down" or "there is a major crisis and the cell network is congested" the landlines will keep running and placing calls just as they always have. I don't know if it is still required, but it used to be a regulation that landlines in the US and the UK were carried on separate power systems and cabling systems so that they would remain operational in the event of a national emergency. There is also a lot of areas where cell phone coverage is just not reliable. And so payphones do still have their place.
I see from my post score that there are a number who hold their monopoly dear.

To clarify, my case was about accessing an existing Netflix subscription with a new device that happens to be an iPad, and wondering if Apple could claim a stake of my subscription fees from Netflix for this access.

If new developer agreements would need to be pushed out to allow for this, then that's something at least - however it's still disappointing the door has been left open. It will be interesting to see if they chase this option.

I'll looking to phase the iPad out of the household if so. (Not that a sample size of 1 matters to them, but principles do to me).
I'm unsure about this given I see the same attitude with loads of developers who carry a senior title, have been in the company for many years but barely outperform a junior with a few years of experience.

My more cynical take is management and management-adjacent roles are easier to climb to and more abundant, pay better than the equivalent technical-only title and since managers largely decide what is going on, they'll obviously provide job security for themselves in whatever obscene way possible. At the same time culture views a manager as something noteworthy and of a higher rank already, which loops back and reinforces itself through payment, work and lifestyle, which then loops back to the way culture views it. The same can't be set for most developers who aren't at least partially dabbling into self-employment, entrepreneurship or management themselves, which then further reinforces the manager > developer mindset.
Sensible languages follow UAX #31 <https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/> for Unicode identifiers, which doesn’t allow emoji.
There's definitely a benefit to using a linter and a tool such as prettier. Using prettier pushes the hidden character onto an additional line in the checkCommands array which makes it much easier to spot that something is wrong even if you're not using the trailingCommas setting.

You don't even get paid more. The apps have been circulating this myth in the press, but it's based on obfuscating of the numbers at best, and outright lies at worst.

I've always thought it a bit of a shame that Ruby isn't more popular for Raspberry Pi projects. I mean, I use it, but the standard is still Python. And Python is great, don't get me wrong, but Ruby is just so much fun for hobby projects.

I used to try to write things in the most popular language for those things, like writing Prometheus exporters in Go. But I eventually realised I just didn't care that much, and now I write them in Ruby, and everything is sunshine and happiness again.

I had a take home a couple months ago. I'll spare you the details but if the output was to be non-hacky it was 4 or 5 days of work. I put in ~20 hrs, sent it back and said, "Here's where I'm at. I'd love to finish it but it's not reasonable to expect so much time if the final answer might be 'No thanks.' I'm not into such waterfalls..."

To this I'll add, I have a saying: "How you hire, is who you hire."

40 hrs? Waterfall? 2021?? And we all have been led to believe dinosaurs are extinct :)

Not knowing what the parent wrote one question I'd have would be: At which point is it legitimate to hammer a political movement for things they have done?

As someone living in Germany, I know that the original Nazis deployed self-victimization as an strategy as well, claiming the other side has no legitimate interest to defend, but only critizises them because they dislike them. Then they set the Reichstag on fire, claimed it was the communists, declared an state of emergency and that was that.

I think we are too assuming that such a thing would be impossible in this day and age. It isn't.

Hmmm, maybe. There's a lot of Asian people at FAANGs too, certainly the more technical parts.

Given that I had a similar experience when I worked at a FAANG, I suspect that it has something to do with them hiring lots and lots of grads, who may have been exposed to these sorts of worldviews during college.

I'm not entirely disagreeing with the availability bias argument, but I don't think it's the entire reason for the OPs observation.

This has been beaten to death, but at least for Apple it means degrading the user experience for those of us who love “not being free” or whatever silly slogans people want to use.

With the App Store mechanic Apple can collectively bargain on behalf of users. Do you think companies would allow anonymous signin on a third party App Store? Or post how they collect and use your data? Of course not. Apple makes that happen.
