Unlike brython, pyodide or coldbrew you'll need a server to run the transcrypt program to get JavaScript from your Python.

I use pyodide at the moment in datastation [0] to provide an in-browser-memory demo environment. It means that environment is completely free other than static hosting costs while you get a nice (demo) computational notebook in your browser.

And while brython only implements a subset of Python and breaks some things like dict access for JavaScript interop, pyodide and coldbrew are complete cpython environments just running on wasm through emscripten.

The biggest issue with these binaries on wasm is that they take forever to load each time you come to the app. It takes like 20-30s to load. That's a pretty bad experience for my use case.

So I'm still testing every implementation I see out to find the right combo of fast load time and most pythonic implementation.

> a redefinition of their masculine identity as toxic

There's a bunch to unpack here.

First, I never used any such terms. All I did was say that it's weird to me that some men react so strongly to what other men are doing, as if it offends them personally. That's actually a segue into the next part...

You said that there's a redefinition or relabeling of masculine identify as toxic. I don't think it's masculine identity, but a set of behaviors and patterns.

As an example, why would it bother Joe if Bob goes to a meeting where he's talking about his own feelings? Why does Joe feel personally attacked for that? And if Joe's response is "That's GIRLY!" and thus something to distanced from, again, why? Why is Joe's idea of masculinity so narrow as not to include Bob's expression.

That's what toxic masculinity is, it's the idea that masculinity has to be a very narrow thing and that we (men) must perform it within very tight parameters.

> insisting they express their emotions in a more traditionally feminine way.

Do you actually see this and have experienced it? This isn't a hyperbolic question, because it hasn't been my experience.

> Emotionally expressive and occasionally vulnerable men is what women have always asked for

That is also not my experience. Women can engage in the same toxic attitudes as men and perpetuate the same rigid gender roles. We see it throughout society, in all socio-economic statuses, and generally.

"Boys don't cry" still exists, and "Boys will be boys" exists (though less than it did when I was a a child).

We still see men valued by their economic statuses, and their ability to suppress emotion.

And we still see unconventional expressions of masculinity as the butt of jokes in mainstream culture, such as Drax in the Marvel movies, Boyle in Brooklyn 99, and the entire male cast of the Big Bang Theory.

Not masculine identity, but behaviors and thought patterns.

I had difficulty understanding this and found the term "toxic masculinit
The geography does limit me (US), but wow this sounds awesome, exactly what I want.

I have talked to consulting/contracting shops here in the US before, which might look superficially similar, but there you are generally a direct employee of the company who then contracts you out to their clients. I have generally had a poor perception of such places, though I'm sure some are fine. Kvadrat sounds much better!
Haha. It almost sounds like you're serious.
> whether that's luck, gene, talent, or just good environments and good parents. You win

You are conflating the very two things i am trying to distinguish here... luck, good environment, good parents are all opportunities.

Talent is something you earn with hard work, passion, effort, and yes is compounded and encouraged by merit, but can only do so given the opportunity. If society does not reward these things it falls apart, if a business does not reward these things, poorly qualified people end up making things, passionate people end up demotivated and stop improving, dispassionate or incompetent people produce rubbish without improving, nothing good comes out of this.

Many people suggest the merit is all that's needed, and that's not true, you need both. Honest insightful and successful people recognise how important opportunity was in their success, and when the world is viewed with this perspective you realise meritocracy is not enough - but being insufficient does not automatically make it bad.

[edit]

for clarity, I more delicately rephrased the part the parent quoted before they posted their reply, but I did say that:

Good article by paul krugman: https://outline.com/FTZ8eN

Basically in the article he outlines what the economists didn't get right and then pointed out that globalization caused virtually all income inequality. That the damage done has basically enabled the existence of people like Trump or movements like Brexit.

The irony is that Krugman still doesn't see the forest through the trees. Not to mention big changes like many countries agreeing upon a minimum corporate tax rate. Which gives huge advantage to anyone who doesn't play ball. Though this is now less to do with economy anymore.

This is bipartisan. Trump started the war with China, and Biden pressed the gas pedal. Tons of countries are clearly declaring their intentions and allies. You can clearly see where this goes, there is no alternatives. However, it's not going to be China as the victor. Sure they have all the factories and largest standing army of any country. They'll not be pulling any trigger and be accepting their depression; see Greece for what is about to happen to China. Followed by a peasant revolt.

Hehe, It does read more like a rant than an article. I guess everyone needs to blow off a bit of steam every once in a while.

As a counter to the point that many are dismissing the deaths and suffering of older members of society, and that this is a form of eugenics.

I would say that the greatest portion of people falling severely ill and dying are those who have over consumed and lived relatively comfortable lives for a long time and that just so happens to be an older population. Many of these people have not missed a meal in decades and spend their lives sitting in lazy boys consuming media, driving half a block to the store and living sedentary lives not due to disability but privilege.

Karpenter – An Open-Source High-Performance Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler
For some reason both Republican and Democrat politicians seem more economically right-wing and more corporatist than either of their bases.

I wonder if that's a natural consequence of the giant part of the voter base that feels obligated to vote for one of the two parties for social/tribal reasons alone. Without these voters pressuring their parties to align more with them in economic terms too, the effect of corporate pressure may be felt more strongly by politicians, leading to a drift to corporatism.

That is completely true. Rust is where it is going for cryptocurrencies that need to have very secure smart-contracts and scale up to millions of users with tens of thousands of transactions per second.

Even if it is completely unrelated, it is 'at least' production ready and will be used more than these projects would ever be used in terms of Rust projects.
The conesnsus with those who mattered to make that change was pro-Nix, but I have no idea how you'd go back to containers because by that point builds were declarative and the implementation was spread over abstractions and repositories! So if DevOps decided to quit because another company was using SuperNix2, which I think is a plausible thing if you have a team using a risky technology, then it would have required hiring consultants to do it - I think it would have been a months-long refactor going in blind.
My prediction is that it will happen with 50% confidence before/after 2029. Or 50% confidence that it will be between 2026 and 2031.

Basically they need to improve their driving software some 10 000x times. From driving 100km before safety critical disengagement to 1 million kilometers. 1 - 2 million milles is benchmark presented by CJ Moore, Tesla’s director of autopilot software to California Department of Motor Vehicles.

> “Tesla is at Level 2 currently. The ratio of driver interaction would need to be in the magnitude of 1 or 2 million miles per driver interaction to move into higher levels of automation. Tesla indicated that Elon is extrapolating on the rates of improvement when speaking about L5 capabilities. Tesla couldn’t say if the rate of improvement would make it to L5 by end of calendar year.”

If they manage to keep on doubling distance driven every 6 months then we should be there in:

log2(10000) * 6 months = 8 years

We are a team of 2 and right now we are trying to show our work to the world.

I'd love your feedback on the webpage. Especially if you can understand what you can get from using the product. But any feedback on design and copywriting is more than welcome.

The feedback on how the app works and whether you find it useful or not is something we would appreciate the most.

If you've got any questions, we're both available to answer.

Preparing for thermonuclear war equates to preventing it from ever happening.

Well, I'm not going to defend these actions, but there are arguably worse actors. My point is, it's not like it's as bad as it could be (especially historically), so the "obvious" point of it being horrible really depends on the perspective. Which is not to say that the situation should not improve!

> So what? If it were social critique first people would be complaining that it's too political. I've overheard people discussing social inequality in the grocery store because of this show, and I fucking love it for that.

Which is cool! My point is, given the graphic violence and it's focus on that, it's quite easy to miss the deeper social point in it and/or argue that this is just trying to read some meaning into a snuff film. I agree with you that it's good, but it's not like the people writing it off don't have a point.

Their target market is essentially private cloud space combined with turnkey rack space - a pretty common on-premise setup where you order not individual servers, but complete racks that are supposed to be "plug and play" in your DC (in practice YMMV, spent a month fighting combination of manglement and Rackable mess).

You can think in this case of the final product as pretty big hypervisor cluster that is delivered complete. I'll admit more than once I'd kill for that kind of product, and I suspect that the price/performance ratio might be actually pretty good.

The operating system in this case is used for internal service processor bits (compare: Minix 3 on Intel ME, whatever was that proprietary RTOS on AMD's PSP, etc. etc) that help keep the whole thing running and ship shape.
It is not some amount of centralization. Our experimental university work sees all startups cheat with servers. They still sell it as Web3. If you run the servers, you need to police the service! You simply become Web2 again. It should be self-organising and pure, like Bitcoin.

Scientifically Web3 consists of:
peer-to-peer technology (e.g. Bittorrent)
with a distributed ledger (e.g. Bitcoin) and
the social practice of sharing (e.g. Github).
This will take 10-15 years more to develop further. The startups are very noisy and are now discovering that doing real "distributed systems" is very hard. They consistently cheat by using central servers. Adversarial Byzantine attacks are unsolved (or require wasteful proof-of-work to yield no performance).

> Well, certainly it should be clear that `obj !== {...obj}`, and you have to behave accordingly

Sure but that's not my issue. I'm saying that when you copy an object like you just did, the latter object looses its prototype.

So any prototype methods I try to call on a copy/de structured object like that will crash in my app without a prior TypeScript warning.

I want to be able to copy objects with a nice syntax but still have them retain their prototype.

Since no one warns you (TypeScript anyway) about losing your prototype it makes me worry about this everywhere because who knows which objects weren't meant to lose their prototypes.

Surprisingly (at least for me) I find that freelancing has made it much easier to solicit business than the hiring process as an employee.

When freelancing neither side has the expectation that this is forever. We both understand we have our own businesses but will benefit from this particular time-limited engagement.

In contrast, in employment there's this whole charade where the company pitches it as a brilliant opportunity and you're supposed to play the game and pretend to care about their values, how exciting the work is or be enthused by their mission to change the world when ultimately the only thing that should matter to you is the paycheck.
