If you have 3-months - https://pythonmorsels.com has been a godsend for me when drilling on the fundamentals of the python language. I guarantee that if you are relatively new to the language, that you won't run out of (A) Interesting exercises, (B) Fundamental language concepts in less than 30-45 days, even spending 2-3 hours/day. Just knock off 1 or 2 a day, and then come back a couple days later, and, without checking into the hints/guidance, try and recall how you solved the exercise the first time - with zero checking into SO/exercise hints. I got 10x more out of the second solve, doing it from only my knowledge. If you can keep that cadence up for even a month - you will have at least the language fundamentals down really, really solid - then you can pivot to various algorithmic solves in the language, or, if there is a particular front-end/back-end/etc.. framework that you need to know - drilling into the characteristics of that.

Trey Hunner is one of the more gifted speakers - and he's really laid out a great exercise and test-coverage plan.

The best thing I can say about pythonmorsels is that, every 15-20 exercises, I look back and realize how little I actually knew. Going through all the exercises is easily the equivalent of a full-semester "Introduction to language" course at a college (minus the algorithmic elements - this is a "language concepts" site)

China also insisted on and got its own version of the trusted platform module, a chip that is present on all pcs that can run windows.

A lot of the vocal people who pick linux are people who want complete control over their systems. Things like wayland, systemd, and flatpak take away some of that control.
Amazing. Maybe we'll see world-record speedruns improve?
Conventional wisdom calls for a mix of workouts: long distance, medium distance, intervals, cross training, and rest. Not only does this help prevent overtraining, it improves your performance at your chosen distance by recruiting a wider variety of muscles.

In this guy's case he's doing a stunt. He'll probably do some damage, and hope to recover. Stunts like that often put you at the limit of what's possible with some (hopefully non-permanent) damage. That's what attracts the attention. I make no judgment on that, but it's not a good idea to adapt that to your training.

Running a half-marathon every day is probably not great for you, especially if you find yourself prone to overtraining injuries. You'd be better off with the same mileage in more varied amounts -- though when it gets to the distance you're talking about, I'd say that miles after 20 count 2x to 3x as much in terms of the damage they do. Many coaches would say that mileage in excess of what you're doing contains a lot of "junk miles" that don't contribute much to the training effect. 21k/day would almost certainly put you in that category.

Your mileage may vary, of course (as it were). I'm just offering up the convention wisdom; I don't know your case.

many products promoted as "luxury" are about telling middle class people that their products imitate upper class signals, without that actually being true. Thus they're usually expensive for a salaried worker but not beyond affordable - whereas products that the upper class genuinely use to signal are well beyond the balance of wage labourers.
In my experience, spring has been intuitive until you need anything slightly custom, or until layers deep configuration / reflection magic bites you. Other thing I didn't like about spring was that documentation was pretty sparse and didn't explain concepts well, it's either some hyper-specific tutorials or reference docs. (There are some good blog posts though, but I couldn't build a comprehensive mental model just following the tutorials). It's still what I reach for when I need to spin up a CRUD API quickly.

Rooting for quarkus to become more mature though. (Recently tried based on someone's recommendation on HN).

Some ancient years ago, before I was an adult, I tried to help with this, even had MSN Messenger contact of Ecalot (he was leading the charge on such projects). And tried to contribute to a new map editor with integrated SDL-based engine, had to learn a lot back then, it was my first time seeing GAWK, and my first time seeing GDK, among other things.

Now people on this thread have some questions, I think I can answer, being involved in the community for a while.

1. Why?

PrincEd, the site mentioned there, is a map editor, after someone released that "Prince 4D" mod for the DOS version, PoP fans basically were amazed by it and it created a cool modding community, but the engine is seriously limited, a lot of things can't be done, thus people kept wanting a new updated engine, specially if we could port the graphics of the other versions to PC.

2. Why the DOS?

Probably because the first mod was Prince 4D for DOS, and all mods are for that version.

3. Won't Ubisoft be mad?

As far as I know this never been an issue, I believe as long we don't get tangled with the fourth-game and onwards that is the games made AFTER they bought the IP, seemly they don't care.
Am I the only one who thinks the opposite? The comments here certainly seem to indicate that. I think positive feedback is feel-good but ultimately useless (since my default is to just keep doing what I'm doing anyway, I don't need to be specifically told that), whereas negative feedback is actionable and can help me improve.

> This is because for any given task there are a million ways to get things wrong, but only one/very few ways to get things right.

Okay, but if someone doesn't get things right, how do you help them if you can't tell them what they shouldn't have done, and what they should have done instead?
AI Safety Needs Great Engineers
I seriously doubt many of your predictions.

2. Valorizing excess

Not sure what exactly you mean by this, but having more than you need and showing off is basic human behavior, and I don't see a reason that will change.

3. Bonfires and fireworks

Bonfires are fun and so are fireworks. They have some downsides, but not more than many other fun things we allow.

4. Anonymity

There will always be places where you can act anonymously or pseudo anonymously. See 4chan and bitcoin for example.

5. Air, noise, and light pollution

There will always be the next kind of not-yet-illegal pollution, and the person to profit from inflicting it upon the rest of us.

6. Having more than 2 kids

Most people will have 1-3 kids, some will have more. Nothing absurd about reproducing.

8. Buying new stuff all the time

See 1

12. Golf

Might be less popular, but why absurd?

13. Body modification and tattoos

Basic human desire to control your body and what you look like. If anything it will be more popular as technology improves.

15. Running unaudited code

With the halting problem on one hand (making automatic auditing impossible) and the high value of software on the other, I don't see any way around this anytime soon. Maybe some AI based solution.

16. Non-tailored medicine

One prediction I fully agree with! Especially many invasive examinations we consider standard today.

17. Tribal politics

Human nature...

20. Burial

Also human nature. Not the American style burial with the huge casket and embalming and whatnot. But some kind of burial will always be the norm.

21. Men standing to pee

???

23. Tipping
24. Advertizing

Human nature...

31. Automotive fatalities

Maybe on the road. But what about space fatalities?
No, what I meant was, if you defrost it at room temperature, it will not instantly warm up to room temperature - it will slowly warm up. You're not forced to leave it on the counter until it reaches room temperature, you can choose to use it before that point (even though it is surrounded by room-temperature air). It's possible to have a less-than-room-temperature fish inside a room that is in room temperature.
That makes sense. I didn't think about it that way, but traditional MVC views would do just as well I guess for greenfield work.
Coca-Cola, Nike ... are some magnitudes different in brand recognition. They can afford to do that. I find it quite frustating when I'm on some startups' websites and after 1-3 clicks around I still don't know what their products or services do, lost in marketing/tech jargons. After that I just quit. Come on people, use English!

any large scale, long running space colonies will need huge effort of robots that don't mind the hostile environment, without much much more advanced robots space colonization is a dream and so the end of life as we know it is certain (just wait for a big enough asteroid or a near supernova).
This must be where the idea for Halo came from.
I know someone that work in a startup that does exactly that. Opening a new country takes 3/6 months, as you need to open an office in the country and recruit people here. And that's now that they have a good process for it. Translation and localisation add processes and takes time. You need a new sales team for each country. Sometimes support too. Launching something in the USA would be equivalent to have France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK at the same time. That's a lot.
Mono211 was such a quality netlabel.

I used to download all tracks they (and other labels such as TDR) released back in the days and listen to them while learning to code.

This shaped my taste in music as the only other influence in this pre-Kazaa era were rather boring mainstream radio broadcasts and MTV.

It felt like wizardry and names like distance, dune, falcon or mortimer twang still give me shivers.

Nowadays they're trying to enforce social media and messengers to require your phone number (most of them do this already anyway), and to get SIM-card you need your ID document. This way they can track down who posted a link to "Putin's palace", for example. And thanks to enforced data localization they may not even need help from social platform itself - they pwn hard drives.

The difference between this and Apple's data collection, for example, is that Apple cannot use this information to imprison or kill you. At least until they deploy automatic scanner for cp in your photos.

I think it does help. I play Fortnite at least once a week with one of my buddies and we catch up on life while playing. We’re also in a group chat and share links and updates there.

My wife told me recently that she was jealous of my friendships because of how often we chat. Meanwhile, she’s the more social one and talks on the phone a helluva lot more than I do.

Like the article suggested, she definitely manages all the familial relationships with couple friends and keeps in touch with those folks. I see ‘em when I see ‘em LOL (she’s also on Facebook, I’m not).

I wouldn’t mind making new IRL friends but I simply do not care. If that happens, great. My small circle of friends I’ve known for at least a decade is enough for me.
Your question does not make sense. Disgust is an emotion, not reasoning.

I think that's pretty minor compared to the stuff they already do, such as tracking how we use certain pieces of software and sending telemetry data to 3rd parties.
That's why you start with indoor robots. Because of the ADA, they should be able to go anywhere that a person with a wheelchair can go... which is pretty much all the places in our public life. Yes, they won't go off-roading, but that's okay as a starting point.

>>though the GOP has seen a bit of internal divide with Trump

Not really, the "Never Trumpers" in the past were called RINO's by most of the base anyway, they did not see eye to eye on most issues with the conservative base of the republican party.

Infact I would say post trump the RINO / neocon wing if the Republican party LOST power, not gained any, as many of the would get an assist from libertarians that vote with republicans, however that wing of the part lost most of them as well.

GOP is probably more unified today than it has been in a long time from what I can see
The person that’s out of touch is the person you made up in your head. Obviously it’s politically unpopular. I’m not saying we should drop a $9/gallon tax on gas. Just pointing out that that’s what it currently costs to undo the damage that that gallon does via one method of carbon sequestration (the one with the fewest trade-offs).

But if we did implement a carbon tax, I’d hope it was coupled with rebates from the revenue to make it non-regressive. It could be made such that yearly rebates could offset the higher gas prices for those driving the average amount, while it becomes much more expensive to fly, which would impact the wealthy more.

No one is advocating for allowing families to starve. That’s actually one of the major reasons to try to combat climate change, to prevent widespread famine.
Of course it should be legal. But the way you talk about it is so bizarre. Cocaine has ruined so many lives. It's incredibly addicting to some. It can destroy your nose, literally putting holes inside of it.

Few questions to get started:

- __init__ vs __new__
- Difference between list and set
- Abstract classes use
- Generators vs iterators
- How yield works
- Is python call by ref/val or both. How to implement each
- How python list allocates space, how it is implemented
- what is cpython, pypy
I am somewhat prone to it, and I got seasick for about 12 hours from 30 minutes of sedate VR once. Eventually I realized what I needed to do was go outside and walk around to reset things. I haven't had anything that bad since- spending a bit more time in VR helps a lot- but it's not like I can just hand someone a headset and tell them to try it for more than a couple minutes without risking ruining their day.

"Vercel is a platform for frontend frameworks and static sites, built to integrate with your headless content, commerce, or database.

We provide a frictionless developer experience to take care of the hard things: deploying instantly, scaling automatically, and serving personalized content around the globe.

We make it easy for frontend teams to develop, preview, and ship delightful user experiences, where performance is the default."

...

That still does not say 'what it does'.

Is this a hosting service? Some open source UI like React? Does it to back-end logic?

Saying "It'A a Front End Framework That's Really Cool And Solves All Your Problems" is not marketing.

This is a fairly giant marketing/communications fail.
