A disease that you may or may not be infected with, may or may not be spreading, and may or may not exhibit symptoms is FAR outside any of those things you mentioned. You're grasping at straws to push your strange authoritarianism.

Most of those things are restricted when they actually harm people NOT before. You are not restricted from consuming alcohol unless you go out and drink or do something else under the influence. You are not restricted from smoking unless you do it in a place where the smoke cannot be avoided. In this scenario you'd be demanding someone stop smoking while walking towards the smoke.

Lastly, I'm sort of done convincing people like you. I no longer care what you think. I and many others are going to move on with our lives. What are you going to do to stop us?
Having predefined end-of-life date on a device is absolutely planned obsolescence in a literal sense; it is both planned and it makes the device obsolete and they definitely knew it would make the device obsolete when making the decision, doubly so in ipads case where user has no options to do anything about it (on chromebooks at least you could in theory install different OS afaik?).
Phones are a bit more of a commodity than laptops/desktops are, I think primarily because of the strong evolution you see in comparison over the same timeframe. A laptop from 7-8 years ago largely still is capable of running the latest software (and most of the time Operating Systems), while an 8 year old phone hardly has the performance to do either with the advancements that have been made.
Your comment doesn’t address the hardest part of this problem - that hospitals are completely full, stretched to the maximum, and turning away critically ill patients. It’s easy to say this is terrible and I don’t think anyone would disagree with you, but you have to recognize the alternative. I’ve yet to see anyone who had a better plan that Cuomo should have followed back in 2020.
BLS data is not super useful for Software because bonuses and stock aren't included in their salary data.

> It's weird, Musk was the golden child on HN about 2 years ago when he was electrifying cars, now a pariah because of his wealth.

I wouldn't say he's a "pariah because of his wealth." If anything, he's probably a pariah for consistently, wildly over-promising (overshooting "optimist" to land in "liar" territory) and being a jerk (e.g. defaming that the cave diver, among other things).

Then add to that obnoxious fanboys who've made him a weird tech Jesus, and who defend him and bring up his brain farts at every opportunity. I, at least, wouldn't mind never hearing about him again. Lets hear about the cool people who actually did the cool stuff (and just happen to work for companies he's invested in) instead.
Not even for physicists, mostly.

It is welfare for the otherwise mostly military contractors who get contracts for construction. It would be overwhelmingly cheaper to just pay the physicists, even if we supported tem times as many.
Young companies with 'great patents' will leverage them both offensively and defensively if it makes sense to do that.

Sonos, in this case, is 'kind of' a younger company. They're not making huge profits and 'free cash flow from a giant' would be huge for them.

Mostly, patents are used defensively, so that companies big and small, don't get sued by trolls or steamrolled.
Detroit based auto makers would be the most obvious example.

If agreeing to union demands did not in some way cost the employer something, why would it need to be bargained out of them?

>> PG is referring to the long-recognized practice of political dog-whistles here.

Serious question: what exactly do you mean by "political dog-whistle"?

No similar term is contained in the Paul Graham piece that was linked and I am genuinely curious what it is you are implying by this.

I have heard this term "political dog-whistle" thrown around over the past few years and for me it has somewhat poor metaphorical quality -- but that's just me.

Can you help me understand this term in the way you seem to understand it?
Exactly the reason we started with First Republic! But yes, the new SVB experience (SVB Go) has been fantastic relative to when we used them a decade ago.
There were a number of patents in question. I'm specifically referring to this one: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8588949B2/en

Here is the abstract, you can see that it clearly is about the interface of creating and controlling the play group:

> A multimedia controller including a processor, the controller configured to: provide a user interface for a player group, wherein the player group includes a plurality of players in a local area network, and wherein each player is configured to playback a multimedia output from a multimedia source; accept an input to facilitate formation of the player group, indicating that at least two of the players in the local area network are to be included in the player group; for each of the plurality of players within the player group, accept an input to adjust a volume associated with the player, that causes the player to adjust its volume; and accept an input to adjust a volume associated with the player group, wherein the input to adjust the volume associated with the group causes the players in the player group to adjust their volumes.

> FastAPI's docs tell you to use "def," yet the most basic Hello World example in the tutorial uses "async def."

Because that's the correct way. print("hello, world!") will block for a very short time, so it's not worth sending to a thread pool.

> In fact most, if not all, of the examples in the tutorial use "async def."

That's again because they show the correct way to use async.

Using async correctly, when it applies is preferable to a synchronous function. The docs encourage you to do it if you know how, and if your use case fits an async function.

> So I don't think it's surprising if developers new to FastAPI tend to use async by default.

It is to me, because the docs are clear:

- if you know your function can be made async properly, make it so,

- if your function blocks, use "def",

- if you don't know enough to choose, use "def".

People who complain that the event loop blocks too often simply haven't read the docs well enough.

Hong Kong’s Covid Strategy Has Failed
It doesn't have a singular corporate philosophy. MS has long had a reputation for inter-department rivalry and even animosity. From what I understand, things have gotten somewhat better, but there's still a lot of tension and disagreement.
If you adjust for square footage we have way more housing than previous eras, it just isn't well distributed. Not a labor problem.
Presumably, that scenario still includes figures advocating complacency, so you're really comparing a situation where opinion is presented as split between complacency and moderation vs complacency, moderation, and alarmism.

Both-sideism works in your favor in the latter case, and if someone digs into the numbers a bit more, they would find that the alarmists outnumber the complacents.

The only real risk is that the alarmists provoke an "it's already too late to fix anything" response, which I don't think is terribly likely, as there isn't an upper bound on how bad things get until you hit a tipping point of civilizational collapse.
Thanks to things like Google Analytics, Google knows what site you're viewing at any moment in time. It can see you go through the results sequentially and stop at some point.
Yes but hopefully you can still appreciate much of the wisdom of Jesus' teachings even if you disagree about the theology.
But this isn't just one user. CanIUse says that only 90% of browsers support optional chaining, so you're potentially losing 10% of all of your users. For an American company, that's like refusing to serve black people, or people from Texas, and it's just as outrageous.
Alexander did not 'conquer' India, and it's a pity this gets repeated so often.

> His army, exhausted, homesick, and anxious by the prospects of having to further face large Indian armies throughout the Indo-Gangetic Plain, mutinied at the Hyphasis (modern Beas River) and refused to march further east. Alexander, after a meeting with his officer, Coenus, and after hearing about the lament of his soldiers,[5] eventually relented,[6] being convinced that it was better to return.

The history of India is rarely covered at all in the Western world, and the most often repeated summary of Alexander's campaign is the "no more worlds to conquer" bit from Die Hard which is a misquote of English poets. The English view of India is not unbiased.

Yes, I forgot about this. It does make it worse! I've commented this elsewhere, too: the incompatibility problem is still anti-user, it affected me when trying to download other types of apps that have nothing to do with browsers.
It depends what you mean by "choke". I think the parents consider "choke" to mean "will focus on one long-running task at the expense of any other task that needs to run". The GIL means that multiple threads won't be able to run python code in parallel, but the design should fairly share the available processing time between all threads that want to run.
Nice, but I wish this article were longer and the author would have elaborated his thoughts more.
Let me fix that for you:

I’m not sure if the launch cost was a driving factor in JWST’s price tag. Granted a lot of the engineering was constrained around how to deal with the massive forces involved in launch but I suspect those forces will still be in play with starship.

Yeah you might be able to get bigger and heavier but it still needs to contend with launch forces.

Now assembling it in space might change things… but I’m sure that has its own challenges. And even then you’d probably want a space elevator instead of rockets to get your people and equipment int local orbit.

Your assessment is spot on. I've been working on building a proof of concept outside of our jenga tower of dependencies. This is the foundational open-sourced layer I built that I'm now building on top of: https://thelanding.page/tag/

I'm starting to transition to sell mode, it's just a tough sell when the entire org is heavily invested in the aforementioned jenga tower.
> The primary benefit of vaccination is preventing severe symptoms; it doesn't prevent infection [...]

I think this dichotomy (prevents vs doesn't prevent) is false. Vaccination reduces the likelihood of getting infected and it reduces the likelihood of severe illness. Perhaps not to the same degree, but my point here is that it's not black & white as the quoted wording implies.
> where one has decided that they have more wisdom on a particular topic than some other particular group of people, necessarily means they therefore lose all their empathy for that group.

I certainly see a lot of this on Twitter.
Hyperloop BS was a big turning point for me. That flipped my opinion of him from a smart guy with a lot of resources to do what he wanted to a rich idiot that got lucky hiring great people.
Inventory tracking of the hardware that contained the data would be a decent start.

Also, set the budget for maintaining the dataset to zero.
This is certainly the ideal scenario. But typically, they didn't exist before because they are incremental improvements based on things which didn't exist before and use technology which didn't exist before.

The claim that they are obvious is based on the fact that anyone who is involved in the production of those prior incremental steps can see what can be done as the next increment. People are working on producing wheels using molds and certain materials. Across town, someone starts selling a new kind of mold or material. The "inventor" applies it to the molding of wheels.

That sounds like Twitter's 1a rights were violated, not the politician who was banned. Twitter is always free to ban who it wants from its platform.

Even if it was litigated and decided that they were indeed coerced, there's nothing requiring them to reinstate the account, no?

Moreover, this wasn't the first suspension. It would be an underwhelming argument to claim that someone who repeatedly broke the rules (five times?) was banned permanently—the final punishment per the policy—because a government official said so.
Well, if it's 2040, I might figure it's within the realm of possibility that multiple vendors can somewhat predictably service it in whatever orbit it still has. QED the Webb launch itself, I think people working on this stuff are starting to grow a proven track record. 20 more years of practice might yield a simple process to 'top off the gas tank'.
I love Python for slicing and dicing data, automating tasks and building tools, but for a web server or web application it's a mess and is a bad choice.

Torx doesn't slip or strip easily like Philips does.
In my case no, because I heavily use numpy, PyTorch, and other libraries that use C++ extensions and release the GIL during long operations. I easily use 24 CPU cores fully by submitting to one thread pool.

If you use pure Python for long tasks, you're right that a ProcessPoolExecutor would be better.
AFAICT, the cut-off for "ancient" is the fall of the Roman Empire. Basically ~395 CE. Likely due to European civilization needing to rebuild post dark ages.

This is certainly problematic for many reasons, the largest being that civilization went along uninterrupted outside of Europe.
Things are different, but also the same (obviously record stores still exist for people who want to go). I've been buying records (and CDs) via mail order, interacting only with a catalog, for decades. More recently though, there are now message boards attached to some of these catalogs. I've made friends online (who I would've never run into at my record store) to go to a music festival with and gotten recommendations from fans, musicians and label owners alike without having to go to a store.

Whether you want to leave your house and go on an adventure, that's on you and blaming Netflix's algorithm is a copout. Even before streaming, mail order was always a way to buy stuff without interacting with people (or even just going to the store and checking out without talking to anyone) and corporate backed radio DJs & Columbia house-esque subscriptions were always telling people what to listen to, too. And, look, if you're really into something like music, you'll seek out a community around it, and I understand that you can be frustrated with streaming options, which are designed for mainstream/lowest common denominator appeal. I don't "get" music streaming services the same way I never really "got" popular radio, but I do get that most people are OK with just listening to whatever the (human or algorithm) DJ tells them to.
I don't want to tell NASA/ESA/CSA how to operate, but I haven't heard of a single software product that launched 10 years late. Such a product would be immediately DOA because of how fast technology moves. Obviously a space telescope is literally rocket science, so it's nothing like the next popular JavaScript library, but I think NASA could adopt a little bit of the move-fast-break-things mentality. Apparently they're running Python 1.5 on the JWST ffs.

All I'm saying is there's room to improve. JWST would be a monumental success for humanity even if it launched 20 years late.

I wonder if they could be sued for anti-competitive behavior and/or service disruption.
I’ve been embracing the opposite and finding success and tremendous happiness in life. I work extremely hard, constantly and at every opportunity. You’d think based on the current zeitgeist that I would be completely mentally messed up but the opposite is true. Without doing useful things with what little time I have on this planet, I feel like it is depressing and would lead me to worst mental health than staying productive.

I’ve never heard any sort of optimism from the fucking media. These words are non-existent and potentially characterized as “right-wing” which is so insane to me: hard work, perseverance, determination, ambition, unyielding, disciplined, persistence and strong work-ethics. These are the values my father taught me and I’d rather listen to him than to the stupid media.

YMMV.
I also experienced this and from Canada (so eligible for a TN, which is usually quite painless). I also think I have some time left on an old H1B from a few years back .. so I'm a bit surprised. At least one job where I was a good fit seemed to auto-reject me.
This is really neat!

I'm curious about what projects people in the community are working on that would benefit from this sort of video-frame searching. My computer vision work is in a niche market and I use images, not video. But I figure there must be people building self-driving delivery robots or the like that would like to be able to search their massive video datasets for corner cases where their models need more training data.
I'm glad I can point to things like this after years of telling people to drop logmein jr
There's also a "know your audience" factor. If you're developing a SaaS for a tech product, maybe supporting the latest couple browser versions is fine. Websites for volunteering probably have a wider audience among older generations using older devices. Ideally you'd know what browsers are visiting your site from analytics and support the relevant percentages.
In my case, I'm lucky to be using computation libraries that release the GIL.
What a terrible experience. I'd recommend a name-and-shame, as it give a little ounce of hope that this doesn't just fall into the ether and continually happen to everyone.
AWS Athena can do this. Dump your CSVs in S3 and query them in Athena.

Personally I use sqlite for smaller datasets and wrap that around a CSV importer.
Every experience I ever had with a take home test was terrible for a different reason:

* The one that was just take home leetcode. Ugh. Why?

* The one that simply ghosted me.

* The one that gave feedback so nonsensical I can only assume they mixed me up with somebody else or just made up some bullshit so they didnt have to read my test.

* The one that told me that they'd filled the position by email 36 hours later while I was putting the finishing touches on my response.

* The one that said I did great and offered me an interview!

(...one month later... when I already HAD a job).

One of these was as a result of me violating my long standing policy of "never do take home tests ever" just once, thinking that the company was well respected, and maybe 5th time's a charm...
Worth pointing out that this is Serbia's internal system, but you can also request EU QR from the same website.

Serbia's one of 33 non-EU countries whose centralised system is up to EU standard, and as such you can get both the Serbian QR code and the EU QR code.

As such, assuming no shenanigans (even though things point otherwise), he should have no problem converting it to the EU QR code and presenting that.
In order!? Oh man, I was just planning on reverse-engineering the network connection, it seems like there's none!
What kind of misinformation is this? Where do you get your data?

Tesla software is getting pretty bad. I had my car reboot while driving at speed on the highway; the turn signals and speedometer went out with it.

I made a document editing demo here: https://github.com/fanout/editor

It uses operational transformations ("OT") to manage conflicts, and it saves the data in MySQL. Technically any Django DB backend will work for storage, but the public demo instance uses MySQL.

One of the reasons I made this thing was to show that realtime apps don't need to require heavy frameworks or unusual databases. And it loads super fast.

I don't think you need Raft if you have a central database storing the document. You could also consider using CRDTs instead of OT, which may be more powerful but also more challenging to develop.

Where did you get inspiration for your landing page? I have seen a ton of apps that look similar to this.
I've said this many times but I dislike that I have to make an account before I even know what the product is or if I will like it enough to justify an account. I hunted around for a sec and I could not find anything that would let me see a real demo or example of the product that didn't require making an account.

Doing something like Airtable[0] is much more effective (not affiliated just a product I use), where I can go from the landing page to embedded product demos that require no login in seconds. It would be great to have something embedded like this or more detailed screencaps at least which showcase the product prior to me having to sign in.
