Author here! Very true, though I was trying to focus on idiomatic python that pushes logic into for loops, list comprehensions, etc w/ composable iterators through tools like those found in itertools (zip, etc...)

Since Python doesn't have Ruby's blocks, you have to define a non-trivial function as a free function, so it's less likely you'll do this. (Python's lambda's are far more limited than Ruby's blocks.)

You can also trick Ruby to return a new value every time a method is called for iteration, but again my focus on what I see as idiomatic in the two languages
haha I'm more than that on my road bike and I'm stopping with rim brakes. This is incredibly impressive work; congratulations! Can't wait to see the update. I suspect you're going to be just fine on water ingress based on what the inside of the package looks like.
I find most of what is said here to be unrealistic.

Realistically, democratic governments and autocratic ones for the most part did an amazing job.

There will likely be a reckoning in the future, as it always takes time for public health numbers (for things like COVID deaths) to be corrected. I suspect (as do many others) that COVID deaths have been a bit overcounted (IE, ascribing things that weren't COVID deaths to COVID) and that will be corrected over time showing that the disease is not as deadly as people think. note, I'm a scientist and this is just inferred from my training in public health and a sage inspecction of the limited data we have today.

My own anecdote which is entirely an anecdote: I had a sick father in law before COVID. Eventually, due to alzheimers he fell and hurt his hip. He had to go to the hospital. There, he got infected with COVID (nosicomal infection), recovered completely from it, was discharged, and came home to die peacefully of other causes (it was not considered a COVID death but I could easily see how if he'd died in the hospital with COVID it would have been counted as such). This was a man in poor health in his 80s who didn't even get particularly good health care. Highest risk category, and COVID was just a sort of side event.
Very cool; this also seems to be an extension of some material in your Understanding Computation book, which I read last year and really enjoyed!
What's really silly is the number of companies trying to jump on the METAVERSE!! bandwagon without for a second considering that I won't touch anything connected with the term now that FB made stink around it.

this discussion has been going on for decades. I've never heard any argument on the ISO side other than a blanket 'these things cost money'.

I'm sure the few people that work directly for ISO aren't feeling particularly exploited. neither are the standards authors - at least when I was doing it everyone was a well-paid engineer who enjoyed the travel and the work.

the issue is that the role of standards is best fulfilled by making them as widely available as possible. and its really not clear from an economic perspective what value ISO as an organization independent of its contributors is providing.

the IETF has a pretty reasonable track record technically, and there was never any notion about charging for standards access.

I think the burden of proof here is on ISO to show that the negative impacts of restricting distribution have any positive aspects at all.

edit: you know what, forget that. I'm pretty sure their primary cost is billing and IP enforcement. since they owe their privileged position to international treaty..its very difficult to perceive ISO as anything other than parasitic.
Out of curiosity, was having an Apple service place repair it out of the question?

iPhone screens on the aftermarket are a crapshoot, even "refurbished" OEM screens can end up with non-OEM parts that aren't functional equivalents

And Apple stores aren't the only place with the correct tools for the jobs, lots of smaller shops have done the Apple certification thing.

I agree there are some repairs that are unreasonably expensive or difficult (ironically the back glass for example), but the screen and battery are both covered by pretty reasonable repair costs
Happy to answer any questions :).

I think in Python, I saw a good deal of adoption in the Sciences early on.

I worked on a Physics experiment almost 15 years ago, there were inklings of Python dripping in to doing numerical analysis.

NumPy just using existing Fortran libraries is a good example of it just being bootstrapped by the scientific community.

Most of these guys come from a Fortran background, and some used the C++ ROOT framework.

Ruby was just too alien for them.

ROOT had made some excellent Ruby bindings, and I spent some time showing some of my colleagues how much time they could save using them, but they just found it to be too different.

It's sort of funny to think, because languages made for AI originally like LISP used functional concepts like map, collect, etc etc...

I think the AI trend using Python was boosted by numerical analysis/computing libraries already being present.

> and the regular old C implementation of Redis Server?

To be clear, this article is talking about implementing your own synchronous-RPC-request server, i.e. a network service that other services talk to through an API over some network wire protocol, to make requests over a socket and then wait for responses to those requests over that same socket. This article assumes that you already know that that's what you need. This article then offers an additional alternative to the traditional wire protocols one might expose to clients in a synchronous-RPC-request server (RESTful HTTP, gRPC, JSON-RPC over HTTP, JSON-RPC over TCP, etc.); namely, mimicking the wire protocol Redis uses, but exposing your own custom Redis commands. This choice allows you to use existing Redis client libraries as your RPC clients, just as writing a RESTful HTTP server allows you to use existing HTTP client libraries as your RPC clients.

The alternative to doing so, if you want to call it that, would be to write these custom commands as a Redis module in C. But then you have to structure your code to live inside a Redis server, when that might not be at-all what you want, especially if your code already lives inside some other kind of framework, or is written in a managed-runtime language unsuited to plugging into a C server.

Or think of it like this: this article is about taking an existing daemon, written in some arbitrary language (in this case Elixir), where that daemon already speaks some other, slower RPC protocol (e.g. REST over HTTP); and adding an additional Redis-protocol RPC listener to that daemon, so that you can use a Redis client as a drop-in replacement for an HTTP client for doing RPC against the daemon, thus (presumably) lowering per-request protocol overhead for clients that need to pump through a lot of RPC requests.

I do realize that you're suggesting that you could use Redis as an event-bus between two processes that each connect to it via the Redis protocol; and then use a "fire an async request as an event over the bus, and then await a response event containing the request's ref to show up on the bus" RPC strategy, ala Erlang's own gen_server:call messaging strategy. All I can say is that, due to there being three processes and two separate RPC sessions involved, with their own wire-protocol encoding/decoding phases, that's likely higher-overhead than even a direct RESTful-HTTP RPC session between the client and the relevant daemon; let alone a direct Redis RPC session between the client and the daemon.

There seems to be two camps of opinions regarding cryptocurrencies.

The first one is people who don't see any value whatsoever in cryptocurrencies. They typically say PoW is "waste" because they don't see value in the output, so there is no argument against them, as everything related to cryptocurrency is waste. It's largely a waste of time talking to these people, as they have made up their mind.

The second group are people who see maybe a bit of value or more in PoW. Since there is a hypothetical value, there is no "waste" as much as "use" of doing this hashing. They see value in having a cryptocurrency network, so even if it's wasteful, the greater good is more important for them. It's largely a waste of time talking to these people, as they also have made up their mind.
Everything that comes out of Yandex is seemingly great. It feels like a lighter, leaner FAANG and as a result, it feels like their software is more usable by small teams (as compared to what the actual FAANGs put out).
On average it isn't true. The average profit margin is 1.4% for gas stations in the US. Clearly the majority are not making much money on gas. Presumably that low average could mean for many gas is a loss leader.
This would be an issue where no virtualisation was done at all. In perhaps some sort of critical situation where the rsk of virtualisation was unacceptable. So the subject of virtualisation is, well, a red herring.

a friend does this for getting to fishing spots quicker from campsites. Sounds like an incredible idea if you've got the space for it, especially if you've got a large battery bank in your camper/vehicle for partial charges without having to turn an engine/generator on (I've got ~100amp hours of lithium battery in my truck camper, and I'd probably at least double that if I was gonna charge a bike every now and then)
Deaths are disproportionate because black Americans commit way, way more violent crime per capita than non-black Americans, your given is wrong.

I've done a deep dive into the numbers. Murder rate data from the FBI has a large "unknown" category, so I'll handle that in a few ways for simplicity. Focusing on murders rather than other violent crime is the best thing to do because, while there may be a lot of ambiguity about what constitutes "assault", how often it's reported, etc., there really isn't much ambiguity about murder. We don't lose track of bodies very often in the developed world. Here's the murder rate in the U.S. broken down by race. All numbers are murderers (offenders) per 100,000 people:

White (simple, ignoring "Unknown"): 1.8 Black (simple, ignoring "Unknown"): 13.3

White (assuming all "Unknown" are White): 3.7 Black (assuming all "Unknown" are Black): 23.2

White (splitting up "Unknown" by existing proportion of total): 2.6 Black (splitting up "Unknown" by existing proportion of total): 18.8

The difference is stark. Using the 2.6 vs. 18.8 numbers, probably closest to the truth, Black people in the U.S. are about seven times more likely to murder in a given year than are white people. The number becomes even more stark if you compare Black to non-Black (because Asians are less likely to murder than Whites), and yet more stark if you just look at men (women murder at something like 1/8 the rate of men, so having them in the system dilutes all differences). Because we as a species are very good at estimating race and sex at a glance, the number for men is the one that's relevant to a police officer walking down the street. If you remove Black Americans from the system, U.S. murder rates look like much of Western Europe.

This is a hard thing but it is a true thing. Most of the differences in how police treat Black vs. White people in the U.S. are driven by this phenomenon, not racism on the part of cops or "the system", though that is small but inevitable part of the feedback loop here. There is an argument to be made about a legacy of slavery or systemic racism, and maybe it's important to do that, but those arguments are completely irrelevant to the cop who's walking a beat in a bad neighborhood--White or Black. Whatever a particular police officer's commitments to colorblindness may be, there is no way for them to not use this information. If you were that police officer, walking a beat in a dangerous neighborhood, you would (like all people) involuntarily learn from the statistics in the world around you.

Real solutions to the real problems of murder and differential policing in the U.S. require people who are brave enough to look the problem right in the eye.

There's a lot of work to be done, please be part of the solution.

Facebook gave their graffiti artist David Choe what turned out to be $200 million worth of equity.

Sometimes they are subsidies available to install them.
The funny thing about that thread is that the best answer is "by not holding cash."

Inflation hurts cash. Conversely anything denominated in cash is "helped" (nominally) - debt, equities, etc. If you, like parent comment, have "most of my money is in index funds and FAANG companies" then you have benefited from inflation (NASDAQ is up 35% from a year ago). On the other hand, people who are hurt the most by inflation are low net-worth savers and wage earners.

It might be counterintuitive at first but while you are exposed to a potential crash by holding equities, by holding cash you are guaranteed to lose purchasing power equal to the current rate of inflation (and it's worse than the official CPI makes it seem).

For your cash positions, which should be kept as small as possible (examples being upcoming purchases, dry powder for investing ideas, emergency fund, etc), liquid US dollar alternatives exist that you can consider diversifying into. These include other currencies, some crypto, precious metals, etc.

Not really - A missing bracket is immediately a parsing error.

Mis-indented whitespace is not.

if(err) {
console.log('something bad happened')
recover()
continue()

Immediately throws an unmatched brackets error.

No such luck for

if err
print("something bad happened")
recover()
continue()

now you can spend minutes trying to figure out why continue isn't being called as you expect it to in the success case. It's obvious enough once you open that specific file and see the indentation, but the tooling is no help at all.

The fact that this is true makes me grumpy for all the obvious reasons, but even at my rather less informed level of understanding it's still obviously true.

I can imagine many points where this kind of signals will lead to distorted results. (e.g. video goes viral because of other thing than your game). Do you have also experience when it went wrong? How did you handled it?

In my opinion, if there were adequate police action, prosecution and punishment for the crimes being committed, the surveillance technology would be unnecessary and likely would be far less prevalent.
Solar is not great for over-night charging...
We really need a terminology to differentiate better between pedal-assist only e-bikes ("pedelec") and electric motorbikes. A "bicycle" that can accelerate without the need to pedal at all is an electric motorcycle, no matter if you put pedal on it or not.

I see the two as totally different things: I've tried pedal-assist e-bike and they're great. But... Although I have nothing against motorbikes I'm not cool at all with basically motorbikes getting a free pass because they're disguised as bicycles.

BTW this reminds me of the old french "Solex / VéloSolex": basically a real engine put on top of the front wheel, and able to accelerate by itself without the need to pedal. But the thing still had pedals. I used to use one and still have one in a garage. But I didn't use it on the bicycle lanes...

To caricature, the left wants to apply the precautionary principle to the environment but has no qualms about the destruction of national history, culture, etc. whereas the right is supposedly the opposite. Personally I'm a small c conservative, in that I oppose the destruction of the environment just as much as I oppose the ongoing push to erase individual nations.

I do not care about sleep phases or when the watches think I fall asleep, it's approximately correct and that's enough. Hours of sleep mean much less than the body battery increase overnight.
It's because the mix of crimes they commit relative to non-black Americans is different, which drives the differences in convictions too of course

>I believe that many people will do what I did - install a charger at home

This assumes:

1. You have a home and park in the exact same spot every day, and the option to install a charger

2. Your home's electrical network is able to handle the extra power from charging an EV

3. Your driving habits do not involve long distances or refuelling/recharging.
Near Seattle, the government can't even keep normal rest stops open.

In addition, we already have that. I've stopped in DuPont, WA for charge and teriyaki. The charger was subsidized.
I have nothing to contribute to the content of this article, but I really want to express my gratitude to the author.

I've been using Python for over a decade and installed Ruby once or twice just to touch it, and I really like how this article has managed to bring Ruby onto my radar, not as something which I should use, but should appreciate.

For me it was just a Python alternative which some companies really do like, but this article told me a bit about the beauty of the language. Nice differences.
> I definitely see terrorism, house by house arrests, some urban guerrillas or self-defense units that protect neighborhoods, etc.

This is exactly how the Yugoslavian red vs. white civil war played out during WW2 while also fighting off the overall nazi invasion. The whites (collaborators) literally started as The Neighborhood Watch protecting citizens from partisan raids (the communists).

For normal people it was a bit like this: You’re trying to survive the war in occupied territory. A mere civilian trying to make ends meet. One day the reds come and beat you up for not fighting with them, you’re obviously against the cause. The next day the whites come beat you up a little more because you’re not with them, you’re obviously a communist.

Fun times.

Package theft is a problem, but it’s not as rampant as you’d believe from reading internet comments. The number of packages delivered to houses in the US every day is staggeringly high, so even a small percentage of package thefts will manifest as a lot of anecdotes.

Package theft also varies heavily by location. I live in a medium sized city but I actually don’t know anyone who has had a package stolen off their porch. I’ve easily had over a thousand packages left at my (highly visible) porch all afternoon over the years without a single theft.

OTOH, if I lived in a few certain cities I wouldn’t want to leave any packages lying out for any period of time.
