1. It's a proxy for measuring how interested the community is in your project.

2. A lot of people use star counts to determine whether or not your project is reputable.

3. As founder of a company with a major open source project, it's one of the only reliable data sources we have for benchmarking our own community growth. I can't see historical (or present) traffic numbers for other open source projects in the kubernetes space, but I can see the history of their star counts. That's really useful when you need to set goals for community growth

4. Some VCs care about it

As with most metrics, the metric in and of itself isn't important. What it measures (community growth) is. So be careful to optimize the latter and not the former
Why optimize for greens? Better to rule out more first no matter the position. I think it narrows the search space better.

If you want to go fancy somehow calculate with bigramms. If you guess c you don't have to guess k blindly too, etc.
More pressure to ship, but I went 3 days a week when my kids arrived and I don't regret it at all. Now my kids well established in school and have their own interests, I'm ready to focus on work again.
Right, C++ has CV-qualified member variables†, because of course it does.

I'm not talking about those. I think they plain shouldn't exist, but it's a separate discussion from the discussion about the defaults.

But yes, this means you can't cut-and-paste C code. I appreciate that this is disappointing for the "Actually we already have lots of C++, it's just that it's mostly .c files and doesn't realise it's C++ yet" people. Set your sights higher.

† Yes, this insanity is also available in volatile flavour.
I'm making the radical constructionist point based on Berger and Luckmann's The Social Construction of Reality.
> For example, people (…) don't have father figures so often because the fathers are all imprisoned.

Maybe they should then stop committing crime. That helps with the hassle of getting imprisoned. They should also stop having children without getting married, as this is much more typical reason of children being raised children without fathers.

> the crime occurring now is alarming, these upticks are from an all time low in violent crime.

No, it has not been all time low. It has only been low since the crime started surging in the 60s. Crime was lower in early 20th century than it was in 2019. Moreover, rise in homicides in 2020-2021 has not been an “uptick”: it is, in fact, contrary to what you say, back to 80s level.

> I don't really think that any of this prevents a "random discharge of a gun". Even a licensed valid concealed carry holder - or owner - has the capability of doing that, or someone in their home does.

That’s true, but that’s not relevant, because it is by and large not a cause of our problem. A licensed driver also has a capability of randomly swerving and running over someone walking on the sidewalk. However, this is overwhelmingly not something that happens often. It would be ridiculous to suggest that if we want to reduce vehicular deaths, we should focus on drivers randomly swerving onto sidewalk.

Please stop distracting people by bringing up low-priority problems (people randomly discharging firearms), and start focusing on actual problems (people deliberately shooting other people).

What you keep doing here is deny people agency. You make it as if being imprisoned, or having firearm they hold discharge, is something that just “randomly” happens to people. It does not. By and large, it is a result of people making wrong decision. The society has a twofold duty: first, it needs to make everyone understand that some decisions are wrong for them and for everyone else, and will lead to bad consequences. Second is that it needs to protect the rest of the society from the consequences of bad actions of the criminals. We don’t jail people just for the fun of it, we do it to both teach them a lesson, and remove their ability to commit crime, at least temporarily. Given that the alternative strategies of dealing with crime has been overwhelmingly ineffective (and last two years have proved it beyond all doubt), let’s go back to what works.

Yeah! I really liked the concept too.

This reminds me of the early Stumble Upon or even channel surfing cable tv back when it was analog!
Is there any reason that Python's dynamicness (dynamicity?) is so much more of a hindrance than CL's? Is it just that CL is compiled?
I'd agree with you, but the website domain is suspended and the website is down
The bus isn't the problem. They use school busses in all sorts of vocational environments (e.g oil field) that can be characterized as "mud pit". The (typically) elderly driver and insane parents who screech about safety at the mere hint of a dusting are the problem.
To be fair, Gates published one and only CS paper. It was on prefix sorting and shows pretty serious mastery of discrete math for his age or any age. Perhaps the co-author -- legendary algorithms professor Papadimitriou -- honed the proofs but Gates was clearly not a one-trick programming pony.

He also chased programming like a starved Tiger, doing things like looking through corporate trash bins for source listings and that sort of stuff. Not to mention that Allen was also a person of extreme intellect and Ballmer is actually a mathematician combined with a charismatic business brain and a small nuclear reactor in one.
Yes, of course. Same as every other distro that defaults to Wayland today.
I had a Kubota and loved it. Easy to work on, parts readily available, affordable and no more electronics than it really needed to have.

How do Kubota and Mahindra compare side-by-side?
Staff Eng is a name that the industry has coalesced around to describe a certain kind of role, and as time gone on, the industry has become more aware of.

The basic difference is only about %10-%15 of ICs are staff or greater and are engineering leadership. A staff eng in many cases is closer to a manager without people management or a PM than a typical engineer who should be spending %50-%90 of their time writing code or similar. Staff engineers also tend to work not just within their team, but are engineering leads of projects that involve multiple teams.

Some staff engineers can spend more time than typical writing code, but %80 of most staff engineers are typically not. The %20 that are still writing a lot are still usually some kind of engineering leader in their project, subfield or similar.
There is no need for hostility.
My comment was in your response of the benchmark that pydantic is fastest.

In their own documentation they invite all other framework to send their results.

That said what pydantic team does is up to them, the Maat was made before pydantic was a option, it has filled that usecase.
The benchmark was only added because of a internal discussion about which tool to use.

Engineering is about tradeoffs and each project will have own technical problems. Therefor there will never be the best solution, only the best solution for a particular problem within that context.
HR doesn't make that decision, the upper management does.
The truth is probably lost in time, or in dead tree diaries, but economics and apathy with regards to conservation do seem the more probable causes, at least for near species-wide extermination. People will do for $1 more quickly than they will for an ideal.
> Why optimize for greens? Better to rule out more first no matter the position.

I haven't yet experimentally tested this, but I hope to soon! It may be that a green letter in position rules out more possible targets than a grey letter.
But none of this matters that much for the hardest part : the robotics of it. You probably need to instead follow what Boston Dynamics is up to...
Sorry, false alarm. That's my bad, rereading I don't get the sense I originally did, I'll attempt to read with a more generous mindset in the future.

I completely agree. IMO part of the problem is there's a bunch of theories on how to improve the situation, but economics is so... difficult(?) that any proposal can be argued against, especially in the realm of politics. I don't really know how to fix that. I think we just need to try some things to be honest, run some experiments.
Revolution in Time by David Landes supposedly (I haven't read it, though it's been on my list for a while) touches on this, and how timekeeping fundamentally changed life and civilization.
It's trivial with most of the common cheaper equipment, you don't need a shop at all since the EU standard is mostly an arbitrary limitation and they try to reuse the same equipment worldwide. Expensive European bikes will actually have smaller motors so they will be physically limited.

In the US many bikes have an off-road mode that delimits them, no real effort required.
You potentially send all your key IDs (ie public keys) your agent has. there are command line options to force your ssh not to use your agent in which case, barred any bugs in the ssh client, it’s like browsing to a domain in your browser.

Let me clarify: I think what Big Tech has done is worse than doing nothing at all.
Of course it doesn't. It was a joke.
Webp is a Google creation with marginal benefits.

Google doesn't produce things out of altruism. They've been a bad actor in enough cases for a long enough time that there's no reason to trust their motivation.

Webp is not a standard. It's marginally open source but it's entirely Google driven for Google purposes.

Jpeg is a standard. Contributing to the development of existing standards is what participation in the open web looks like.

Webp is like AMP. It's unnecessary. It's a waste of time and energy. It's not clear what Google's motives are for using or advocating for webp.
On the contrary. If it's on a git repo you have a copy of, it doesn't matter who's service is being used. Migration becomes trivial.

This is probably the single greatest upside of static site generators.
Cool, it looks great now. Thanks :-)

In the article she specifically talks about how blockchains are a godsend for data harvesters. I think it's disingenuous to pick out one of her criticisms, ignore the rest and say "that criticism by itself isn't as bad as the alternative".

>jit compile Python

given who you are (googling your name) i'm surprised that you would say this. jax does not jit compile python in any sense of the word `Python`. jax is a tracing mechanism for a very particular set of "programs" specified using python; i put programs in quotes because it's not like you could even use it to trace through `if __name__ == "__main__"` since it doesn't know (and doesn't care) anything about python namespaces. it's right there in the first sentence of the description:

>JAX is Autograd and XLA

autograd for tracing and building the tape (wengert list) and xla for the backend (i.e., actual kernels). there is no sense in which jax will ever play a role in something like faster hash tables or more efficient loads/stores or virtual function calls.

in fact it doesn't even jit in the conventional understanding of jit, since there is no machine code that gets generated anew based on code paths (it simply picks different kernels and such that have already been compiled). not that i fault you for this substitution since everyone in ML does this (pytorch claims to jit as well).
“Where does that fit in your categories?”

It sounds like it falls mostly under illegal transactions because you are using crypto for something that would otherwise be illegal (avoiding capital controls). Is it technically illegal? I don’t know. Is it ethically wrong? I guess not directly. However, I imagine there are also a lot of nefarious reasons somebody might want to avoid capital controls which crypto could also help facilitate.
So glad somebody finally said this. I've noticed this dynamic for years and it really is sad to watch. I remember reading over the community reviewing a large patchset someone had contributed a couple months ago and the amount of negativity was remarkable.
If you want to get really fancy, a full minimax solution is probably feasible without massive resources. Pretend it’s a two player game with one player guessing and the other player thinking of a potentially different word for each guess subject to the constraint of being consistent with all previous answers.
It sounds like they're talking about the socioeconomic factors behind the violence. I believe there's a book called American Homicide that covers them in detail.

The extremely basic overly simplified summary I have is that people who don't have hope or think they've been cheated have less incentive to work within the broken system.

disclosure: I am a diesel mechanic and i work on large commuter busses as well.

Do you want the money to go to schools and learning, or opulently thumbing your nose to kris kringle two or three days a year. I thought remote learning had basically axed the snow day anyway...a few big issues:

0. you cannot load a child onto a vehicle thats 2 feet off the ground.

1. most school bus drivers in the US dont have a CDL. now try to find one willing to pilot a half million dollar all wheel nine speed with electronic transfer (while screaming kids are in the back) and youll find skilled over the road drivers arent interested in this.

2. any driver you do find wants lot pay, holidays, benefits and 80k a year guaranteed. school bus drivers earn just a little more than minimum wage for about half a years work.

3. whoever you get to drive this still has an option to tell you to pound sand. most OTR long haulers or regional drivers will never drive in conditions too adverse to control the vehicle.

4. this vehicle might make it through a bad snow storm but not at a speed youre likely to enjoy. the kind of storms this thing is rated to tackle, most kids arent.

5. IF it becomes stuck, or the driver isnt competent, youve turned a regrettable snow day into a massive rescue effort that imperils dozens of kids.
I've found you have to need the information for it to stick.
Important limitations of the study are hidden behind the paywall. From the Methods section in the full paper:

From Study 1: "Participants (N = 213, 109 women) were recruited from a small
Northeastern college in exchange for partial course credit or a lottery entry for a $40 gift card. Of these participants, 190 (95 women) completed all focal variables and were included in further analyses. Sample size was determined by the number of participants researchers were able to recruit over the course of one semester. Sensitivity analyses indicated we have 0.80 power to detect an effect size of partial η2 = 0.076 for focal predictions. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 23 (M = 19.82 years, SD = 1.31). The majority of participants identified as White (75%), 14% identified as Asian, 4% as Hispanic/Latino, and 3% as Black."

From Study 2: "U.S. Participants (N = 306, 141 women) were recruited through Amazon's Mechanical Turk and received $1.00 compensation. Given our shift from ‘ideal’ to actual friends, we anticipated a reduction in the effect size of our predicted sex differences and aimed to recruit a 50% larger sample than that of Study 1. Sensitivity analyses indicated that our sample size allowed us to detect effect sizes of partial η2 = 0.003 with 0.80 power. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 84 (M = 35.22, SD = 11.29) and primarily identified as White (74%) or Black (9%)."

From Study 3: "U.S. Participants (N = 250; 97 women) were recruited through
TurkPrime and received $1.00 for completing the study. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 70 (M = 34.43, SD = 9.88). Sensitivity analysis indicated that we were able to detect small effects (f < 0.10) with 0.80 power assuming 0.5 correlation between measures. The majority of participants identified as White (70%), 11% identified as Black, 7% as Asian, 6% as Hispanic/Latinx, 2% as multi-racial, 1% as American Indian, and 1% as Pacific Islander."

I hope that a user with more research experience than me can chime in. In the meantime, it looks like the study's conclusions mainly apply to:

-Undergraduate students in a specific American university located in the Northeast and

-People accepting paid jobs on Mechanical Turk.
> we find that men, compared to women, more highly value same-sex friends who are physically formidable, possess high status, possess wealth, and afford access to potential mates. In contrast, women, compared to men, more highly value friends who provide emotional support, intimacy, and useful social information.

This is exactly my experience here. This is the reason why as a man, I instinctively find female friends more trustworthy. When I experience a problem in life, female friends help me a lot more than my male friends do.

The retention rate is also different. A lot more of the female friends I made earlier in my life remained as friends than male friends I made.
Python has always been adversarial to the PL communities, as seen in Guido's decision to limit the usefulness of the lambda function. He just didn't like the concept of long anonymous functions. I guess it is the inevitable characteristic of the typical "non-academic" languages, because I've also faced similar atmosphere in PHP and JavaScript too.
Anyone on Medium writing about programming languages trends should also be pre-screened and have their own original (non-forked) source code repository listed on their profile. Each time I see a Medium article in form of "Top [insert number] [insert topic] to [insert a verb]", it nudges me ever closer to canceling my subscription.
The conclusion comes off as a trope and I can't access the paper to see how this was concluded.

When people say staff, they typically mean google / FB staff. Or apple's ICT5. Levels.fyi is a good translator of what the equivalent term is at a company.
Hard to compare exactly with that classification, but JavaScript only has the first one, and arguably parts of the fourth one.

metaclasses isn't really a major optimization hazard, it effectively boils down to hijacking the "class" syntax to instead run some custom code. It's used by things like dataclasses and the Django ORM to use class syntax to make a little DSL.
This article's probabilistic reasoning seems interesting, because it suggests it is very unlikely we will find other random intelligent life within our observable universe. As opposed to another sense of the anthropic principle, where our universe is fine tuned to an extraordinary degree but the chances of finding other intelligent life nearby is higher.
On a Raspberry Pi 3 with a random SD card I found laying around:

pi@octopi:~ $ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0:
Timing cached reads: 1366 MB in 2.00 seconds = 683.30 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 62 MB in 3.02 seconds = 20.53 MB/sec

So it's going to take a couple seconds to page this thing into memory. (The memory speed isn't great either.) It's not so slow that I'd bother to write application software in C just to make startup 5 seconds faster, though.

Meanwhile on a Threadripper 3970x with SSD (but virtualized):

$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 20200 MB in 2.00 seconds = 10109.10 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 5296 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1763.28 MB/sec
Nothing prevents crypto-currency denominated loans in traditional finance. That was not the claim. The claim is that financing operations are not possible in so-called "decentralised finance".
> Where do you think this obsession comes from?

"2A issues" have been, AFAIK, a hot political issue for at least a few decades. The right is generally "pro-gun"; we may also ascribe to the right (not to exclude the left from the same, but it seems less relevant here) a general enthusiasm for openly contrarian signaling and behavior. Another good example is "rolling coal"—maybe I just don't understand the appeal, but to me it seems like a totally pointless and destructive exercise that can be traced directly back to their hatred of environmentalist policy. The popularity of hybrid cars and cyclists as targets for "coal rolling" supports this.

I'd say their "obsession" with guns is coming from a similar place. To a lot of these people, guns are much more political and social symbols than they are tools. The same urges that make them drive around in lifted trucks covered in Trump flags compel them not just to buy and shoot guns, but also to decorate them with political slogans and symbology, to conspicuously and (often) trollishly display them, to argue vehemently against any policy that can possibly be classified as "gun control", and so on.
You can also share arbitrary binary data between processes by using shared memory (e.g. Python has support for this in multiprocessing.shared_memory module).
kubota parts were faster for us to order since theyre used in construction all over the US and theyre a little more interchangeable, but you make that difference up with mahindra because you can fix more of it in the field to begin with.

So what you're saying is that you buy ETH for its utility of processing transactions on tokenized assets? And you get more value out of spending the ETH on gas than it cost you to purchase it?

That sure sounds like a useful product to me.
