OOooo! I love it!
I've been a PG user for... a very long time.
The fact it supports inet datatypes just makes me swoon TBH.
Some feedback:

1. One time it didn’t complete the search input: I typed “math.ran”, tapped math.random in a popup, input didn’t update and remained as is (but results seemed fine). Couldn’t reproduce again, probably a race bug.

2. When I tap into the search input, the page zooms in a little (as it does by default for small inputs on iphone), which is annoying. iPhone SE 2020, portrait, recent iOS.
I understand exactly what you are saying. Let me add up by saying python has a beautiful learning curve

In the begging is very simple to churn out code and do wtv you want, but the more you are into it, you start realizing that there are endless possibilities

It's a great language for beginners and even better for experts that just want to solve problems with code without thinking to much about if coding is beautiful or not, or feeling cool, or arrogant about it

It just works
Because search is the scope of our discussion, the answer is that the government can read your wife's book for the same reasons they can read your book.
He replied to you explaining his reasons for detaching your completely shit comment. I found that explanation in ten seconds just by clicking on your name. I also found you replying to his reply, so it’s amusing to see you claim what went down wasn’t transparent. You were there, friendo. Way to go all debate club on dang with a clearly hurt essay after a pointless observation about the name being used as a verb didn’t score as you’d like.

Don’t dilute this thread about (legitimately interesting) turfing with your simmering annoyance from being moderated for good reason. We all see what happened, it’s fairly transparent
Go has more line noise than Java combined with the expressiveness of COBOL
What about Python? It doesn't yell at you for having unused variables which is nice for actually developing the software.

My main gripe with Go is it doesn't seem geared toward figuring out new things, or letting people hack and experiment during development.
I could get behind an originalist reading of the copyright clause.
Your concern seems entirely baseless to me.

Probably no damage was done by lead electrodes in Fukushima. Lots was probably done by dry-cleaning establishments, hardware stores, machine shops, pesticide inventories (in factories, stores, and farms), paint factories and stores, etc., but metallic lead? Lead is so stable that even bullets inside people's bodies, where they're constantly exposed to hot, salty, corrosive bodily fluids, usually don't cause any toxicity. Even lead sulfate (the mineral anglesite) is somewhat challenging to get a toxic dose of.

Lithium is a relatively abundant element in Earth's crust, about the same abundance as nitrogen, and more abundant than boron, tin, tungsten, or iodine. It's fairly nontoxic: the lethal dose of lithium salts for a person is measured in tens of grams, and it doesn't bioaccumulate. There are a few lithium minerals that can form (lepidolite is a lithium phyllosilicate, spodumene is a lithium aluminum silicate) but probably most lithium ions released would remain soluble, spreading into the environment. But it would take an enormous lithium release to cause problems: there's 230 billion tonnes of it in the sea without causing any toxicity. In the USA, the EPA hasn't established any limit on lithium in drinking water. The usual therapeutic dose of lithium is about a gram a day, a few times lower than the usual intake of sodium or potassium. 7-Up used to be full of lithium.

I don't think you need to worry about arson in China.
Technically, I think that would be monopoly power, not artificial scarcity. The government grants a legal monopoly to producers to stamp their products with their brand name, which also prevents producers from using someone else's brand name on their products.
> Ok that sounds reasonable. But what if blatant falsehoods are written on a person on wikipedia?

I think Wikipedia's standards are fairly reasonable there: their main criteria is actually traceability to a source, not actual truth. If "truth" was the main criteria, they'd actually destroy themselves because there'd be no practical way to resolve disputes about what that is. That's a limitation of their institutional structure that they know they have.

So if there's a blatant falsehood, you have to point to a valid source with the correct information (or that shows the falsehood to be false). I suppose it might be possible to get something struck if you made a convincing behind-the-scenes case that it is in fact false (though I don't think you could get something included that way).
Whenever I see that quote being used to spurn Go I'm amazed of the seemingly large number of language researchers of a calibre of Wirth, de Moura or Wadler and the few actual used languages on the other hand.
Is there an end-game for the food delivery industry that doesn't involve investors, restaurants, and customers being fleeced? From what I can tell, consolidation and monopoly-seeking is the name of the game in a business where there's not enough margin to go around...
> Building a company is hard enough. Adding the overhead of developing, maintaining, recruiting for, and staffing our own datacenter is madness when I can click a few buttons and get the same thing from a cloud provider without hiring anyone extra to manage the datacenter.

“Building a company is hard enough, adding the overhead of actually building a company is madness”

> But that's a lot of hidden work that could have been allocated to launching the product faster.

The topic of this thread isn't about a brand new start-up with no resources trying to build their product as much as possible, it's about a company that spends millions in cloud invoices.

Building a company using AWS, totally legit. Scaling this usage up to millions of dollars because you don't want to manage the hassle, fair enough it's your money, I don't mind if all your profit goes to Amazon really…
I should also add a cultural / social reason why Python is used in scientific computing and machine learning much more than JS/Ruby/Perl:

Python was the only one of those languages (partially) funded by government research agencies. Guido was a research programmer in the Netherlands at CWI, and then he moved to the US when he was hired by CNRI, a research agency headed by Bob Kahn (loosely connected with DARPA as far as I remember).

If you look at the backgrounds of Brendan Eich, Matz, and Larry Wall (creators of JS, Ruby, and Perl), they are quite different. None of them really worked in a research setting, and they certainly didn't develop their language in a research setting.

Lua was developed in a research setting, funded partially by Brazilian oil companies as far as I remember, but I don't think it ever had a "scientific computing" focus. It was picked up more in games and apps due to the C embeddability and features like coroutines. The ML framework Torch was built on LuaJIT because it has math nearly as fast as C. But I think the language Lua is less suited toward linear algebra, again due to the lack of operator overloading.

Not to mention that Lua doesn't even have separate ints and floats! This is also an issue with using JavaScript for scientific computing.

It saves them on number of drives. Of course they can always buy more drive capacity on AWS if a certain percentage of their drive pools starts to hit 80% capacity, it's not a one time savings unless AWS stops charging them and lets them use their services for free. It would be a recurring savings.
From the same article

> ". In 2010 the International Panel on Fissile Materials said "After six decades and the expenditure of the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars, the promise of breeder reactors remains largely unfulfilled and efforts to commercialize them have been steadily cut back in most countries"."

I have been following FBR progress especially thorium based ones, as it was considered to be India's path to energy independence since the 1950's. The progress has been slow and expensive and still a lot of research is left to do, so to say meaningfully that waste will reduce is not a viable plan today or next 20 years.
There is a solution - individually act in a way to limit what is collected. Take charge of the tracking devices you own, and of your spend.
For extra credit, seed with bad data or misdirection.

Statistically zero people make any effort, other than maybe saying the government should limit government data mining. Here is an idea, turn off mobile phone location tracking this weekend.
... and still no edit feature.

This might seem like a tweet soundbite,but it goes to the root of the problem - twitter develops its features in a vacuum and actively refuses to listen to its users.

I'd also argue that they picked a horrible price point - it's too expensive for most twitter users, and too cheap for the ones willing to pay. The demographic of people willing to pay for twitter is not extremely price sensitive, and going for a lower price point will only insignificantly expand it. Going for a higher price point with more value add (remove "promoted tweets" garbage) would be significantly more appealing.
Are there any good guides or examples on using elisp to build an environment like ncurses?
Just FYI. If your suggestions for "making it better" for yourself would be making it worse for other users, then that probably would be why your suggestions weren't taken. GNOME has made accessibility a priority for a while now, so that is why the interaction with the mouse has been done the way it is. (Disclaimer: I am not a GNOME developer, this is just my observation)

I believe the Flamanville EPR is considered as some sort of prototype. It was planned to be years in the making and difficulties were expected.

It was scheduled to take 54 months to build when construction started in 2007:

https://web.archive.org/web/20110613091002/http://www.neimag...

The last reactors to enter commercial operation in France, the 2 units at Civaux Nuclear Power Plant, took 13 and 11 years from construction start in 1988/1991 to commercial operation in 2002:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civaux_Nuclear_Power_Plant

I wonder if EDF succumbed to hubris in thinking that they could build a new reactor design twice as fast as the last-completed reactors, or if they published optimistic numbers because they thought that there was more institutional tolerance for constant slippage than for estimating unhappily large numbers right at the start.
How Do You Treat Positional Vertigo?
You are right on the latter point, a keypair itself is a pretty good method to verify pseudonymous identity.

However, we are talking about NFTs as tickets. Traditional ticketing relies on secrecy, or in other words possession of ticked-id grants entry. Data embedded in NFTs is (and has to be) public, therefore token auth model does not work, you must use challenge-response model. The very point here is that ticket data has to be linked with a keypair and provided at the moment of sale to be verified upon entry. Public key must be provided at moment of sale, blockchains are one way to store that link, private database of ticketing system is another. Blockchains bring their own disadvantages and the only advantage is trustless transfer.

In what scenario trustless pseudonymous transfer of a ticket is an advantage worth disadvantages of the blockchain.
Python is the default in many fields beside ML, however ML has its own very efficient languages, I recently discovered octave through a course I attended.

This is a beautiful feat showcasing Ruby's expressive power, don't know of any other language that could be molded to accomplish the same feat.

As a non Ruby programmer I still appreciate its culture whose community best seems to explore code as art. One of Ruby's contributors @mame (also a talented #1 IOCCC winner) does this a lot who's famous for quine-relay [1] but has lots of other interesting art code projects in their repos.

> If you are a tourist in most countries and "fly" back home, you are judgement proof. There only liability is the guests airbnb account, which, is worthless. You can create new accounts, and in most places you can use alternative government identification to bypass previous bans.

This isn't necessarily true. If you fly the coop, you might be out of the reach of a host or local law enforcement, but in some places action could still be taken against you in your absence. While for all practical purposes, you might never have to face the consequences if you never plan to return unless you were accused of doing something really terrible (like murdering or seriously injuring someone), it's best not to get yourself into legal entanglements in foreign countries, whether criminal or civil. Especially if you do think you might want to visit again in the future.

Also, AirBnB has taken legal action against guests itself[1], so that's potentially a risk in some cases too.

One of the best ways to avoid finding yourself in precarious situations while traveling abroad is to stay in legal accommodations, be they licensed hotels, hostels, homestays, etc. It's also one of the best things you can do to respect the places you visit. AirBnB is a horrible company that has single-handedly ruined buildings and neighborhoods and even, arguably, significantly harmed many popular tourist destinations, with its inventory of frequently illegal short-term rentals.

English is hard to scale too, but it’s beautiful when used by a talented writer
Another way to analyze the problem: what other language would it have been, given the moment ml hit?

You say compared to other scripting languages'. Let's list them.

Ruby: no numeric support
Go: unnecessary typing, modest numeric support, shitty generics
Bash: ha ha ha
Scala, java, c, cpp: not a scripting language, complex
Tcl, php: out of favor
Rust: hadn't happened yet
R: in memory bias, not as simple
Other languages were obscure or owned by monoliths (kotlin, swift, c#)

Python also has multiple implementations, a minor thing, but not really. Pypy keeps cython on its toes.

C# really could be a contender. I am more productive in c# than any other language except python (although I think I will be more productive in rust)

Python is, almost unarguably, the easiest language to code in, right now, period. It has the greatest expressiveness and the simplest syntax. I use it for large scale open source art projects, and you can use it for ai.

Why are you asking?
This is not true. I am running several apps here in India that use their own alternative payment methods (mainly UPI, India's ingenious mobile payments platform) for in-app purchases in Android. Hell, even Google Pay itself is based on UPI in India.
This just proves that when looking at ruby code, you may not have any idea what you are actually looking at. Monkey patching saved me ... once.
> True, but I don't think you can keep the volunteers if you're in maintenance mode. The scale of volunteers needed requires some responsiveness, some support.

Some, but not much I'd wager. My point is it's not like they have a big line item for paying full-time 100 moderators or something, so "moderation" doesn't belong with the other items on that list.
The bed was probably listed as a separate budget "room" on AirBnB.
Ruby does have operator overloading.

And it is kind of sad to me that Python is so much more popular than it, even though Ruby has a much cleaner object-oriented foundation. Not to speak of underscores...
I think its the opposite. Regular VPN protocols, if obfuscated properly can blend in with https traffic.

Tor is almost always detectable. You can see someone is using Tor, but not what theyre doing with it.
I agree. Their objective is not to build beautiful code but to provide a working prototype

I'm sure every single one of them is capable of writing world class code if they feel like it

Their exploits are world class and their focus is to exploit

I have seen stuff in JavaScript exploitation that I can't even scratch the surface. I feel like I have been playing piano for 15 years and I can't even understand if that a music that is playing
I'm late to the comments, did something change?

There does seem to be a regular web front end, you.com. The link in the HN post was to a search for you.com on you.com. There's also a search bar at the top of that 'results' page.
> The most insane thing about Python is how you can override single methods in classes and use the class like normal.

Isn't that true of basically every language supporting class-based OOP and inheritance?
I'm not surprised.

Scale makes IT cheaper, and AWS has scale. That means the actual total cost (not what is paid to Amazon, but what it actually costs to run) for something running on AWS will almost always be lower than a custom data center, due to the one-off reinvent-the-wheel work you'd have to do to run your own.

The only remaining question is, who keeps the savings. AWS can make a nice profit by selling their services at a higher price than it costs them to provide their part, but still cheaper than running your own data center. That means AWS will always be able to provide you the service cheaper than if you build your own.

Whether they're also willing to do that is another question, but it seems logical. At list prices, it's probably not worth running in AWS, but I highly doubt someone doing petabyte scale is paying list prices. Amazon has every motivation to provide a hefty discount to make the "own datacenter" approach unattractive.
I don't think this is going to help at all. There are already way too many desktops for Linux and none of them are pushing GNOME or KDE to keep up. To me this is just another one to add to the pile sadly. We already went through this whole song and dance with Canonical and Unity and that ended up dead as well.

ChromeOS (and Android) are their own things and not related to any of the other projects. If somebody was building a new desktop and had a few hundred million dollars to spare I would say just do that similar to how Google did it. A company with those resources would be wasting them by involving itself with the open source desktops, those projects are perpetually in a state of being 5-10 years behind. Of course that means they would have to bring their own app ecosystem too.

I have a filing cabinet with a folder for every company/entity that sends me paper. I file new paper at the 'front' of each folder, so each folder is arranged chronologically. If a folder starts to get too thick I ruthlessly discard anything more than a few years old.
I guess I don't even think of these two languages as direct competitors. PHP is highly geared towards web scripting, Python is highly geared towards... well, just about every sort of scripting, and a lot of other stuff too. I don't think PHP has nearly the versatility of Python.

Xoth CBD Gummies: Quality Gummy or Fake Scam Product
The plants they use to produce Xoth CBD hemp oil are totally cultivated naturally. That implies the oil doesn't wind up in the oil. At the point when they aren't in the oil, they won't wind up in your body or in the climate all things considered.

Thanks! Yes the marketing is the most challenging part. I happen to enjoy showing my work off, I try to post a video a few times a week on twitter. ( https://twitter.com/LeapJosh )

The finer points of marketing still elude me, but as I come up with things to try I test them. I've written some machine learning models to try and optimize things, no breakthroughs yet.

My game is a creative writing game / text editor where you're a tentacle monster with a magic typewriter. It's called Tentacle Typer. The idea is that you power up machines, activate magic devices, and progress through levels by creatively writing next to things.

You learn different magic spells depending on what genre you're writing in. (horror, love story, something technical -- all different spells)

You use that magic to fight monsters and take on bosses. It also exports txt files. It's pretty weird! :)
Industry funded propaganda and bought politicians. Then it (in the US) got polarized along partisan lines. Geopolitically, everyone wants to solve it, but nobody wants to take a big hit to their own prospects.
> the judge _explicitly_ said Apple is still entitled to it's 30% commission even payment took place outside the stor

Its a bit more complicated than that. For example, currently, right now, I can buy hearthstone packs/digital goods on other platforms, not pay Apple a Fee, and still use those digital goods on smart phones.

It is the existing workflow, that it is already possible, to get around apple's fee, by buying on other platforms. Thus, Apple would have to change its existing contracts, if it wants to get that cut.

And now it is simply going to be easier to get around paying apple that fee, due to external links to places where Apple is already not taking a cut.
And that's why laugh in disbelief when people evoke the good Samaritan bullcrap, that all that's needed to stop gun violence is more guns, and good people will step in to stop agressors. I don't see how that doesn't end in a bloodbath by misunderstanding like 9 times out of 10.

If he was really self defending against two people, and a third person saw him kill them, that third person now sees a bad guy that needs to be stopped. Who's guilty if he shoots and kills?
