> Python's OOP is awkward with object.f() meaning something different from f(object), when really they ought to mean the same thing.

Why should they? Coming from other OO languages, I would expect `object.f()` to involve a vtable lookup, or something similar that effectively has `object` carrying around its own particular implementation of `f` (which might have been closed over some hidden internal state as well), and I'd expect `f(object)` to not do anything of the sort.

This sounds more like a poorly designed library than any language-level awkwardness.

Sure there is, it was specifically related the inability of the countries on their list to demonstrate proper port/airport screening & security. The reason most Muslim countries weren't on the list is because most Muslim countries took security seriously enough. This is also why the non-Muslim countries that were on the list were on there.
I could be incorrect, but last time I did some reverse-engineering, Netflix had a Qt application that used native C++ bindings to knock out huge sections of that list.

That Qt application was only lightly modified for each platform, IIRC, and it appeared all over the place from those cheap Linux-based Blu-ray players to Smart TV clients. Anywhere that was embedded, generally Linux-based, and unlikely to get frequent updates.

As for some of the larger players like Roku or Android, those ones are more obvious where to hire. Java developers and BrightScript developers.
Fair, but in this case I think the tablet should be usable. Sure it's old and only a dual-core cpu, but checking the list of hardware accelerated qualcomm decoder codecs it supports, it lists: vc1, divx, divx311, divx4, avc, mpeg2, mpeg4, h263.

Surely AVC which is h.264 should still be supported..

Maybe it gets tripped up trying to use the software google decoder codecs instead?

That said, I am not able to test it anymore. The tablet is on kitkat and I'm not able today to find a site hosting a minsdk older than lollipop. It's not a big deal, but it's disappointing to see apks for services that used to work just disappear. They always gobble on about "security". Why is it a problem for everyone else except Netflix? Netflix loves supporting devices.
My intent here is "same subject, but now you're standing on the other side of it", not "same viewer location but turned 180º".

For instance, if you started with an image of the Washington Monument with the Lincoln Memorial in the background, the "reverse" would be an image of the Washington Monument with assorted Smithsonian museum buildings behind it. Or whatever you theorize would be on the east of the Washington Monument if no reference is available.
As someone who’s been around for a minute, I’m jadedly amused that your argument is that M2 or M3 will fix these things.

What they will do is be faster and more widely adopted. Docker (and everyone else) will do the heavy lifting to fix those, including any that are specifically Apple bugs.

> a modified form of the MIT License

hahahaha dude. you just drastically limited your market. lawyers have already vetted the other licenses, but now anyone who uses your code in any official capacity MUST hire a lawyer to dig into just what modifications you're talking about and what the implications are. Thus, a non-starter. On top of that, if you made these changes yourself, it's very likely you missed something (which could also increase YOUR liability!) and need to hire a lawyer yourself to review it. So consider heading back over to https://choosealicense.com/ and pick something more restrictive than MIT if you want. For example, I used EUPL 1.2 for mine.
I use duplicity (via the DejaDup GUI) and I really like it. However, there is one thing I think most people need to be aware of:

Duplicity does NOT encrypt the names of your files.

Some might not care about this much, but for me I really don't like my encrypted backups containing so much metadata.

EDIT: FWIW I don't use the AWS backup options. I have separate offsite backup connections to cloud services as well as NAS.
Have you played with Rancher Desktop at all? They just hit 1.0.0 and it’s a replacement for docker desktop on macOS/Windows. Beware, it says kubernetes all over their site but it provides the docker cli and works pretty much the same way.

I admire the strength, conviction, humility and technical skills you are constantly showing. Please keep doing what you are doing. Some people can’t handle a beautiful woman who is smart, skilled, and choose her own way in life. That’s their problem. Not yours. Remember that for every low self-esteem hater out there, there are many others who support what you are doing and disagree with the haters. Years ago woman were not allowed to show their ankles in public. We have come a long way since then. But there will always be a small group of people who can’t handle independent woman who doesn’t conform to their ideas. Just ignore them. They are dinosaurs and will eventually die out.
> They're watching how medical professionals are being treated and saying screw it!

This was a trend before the pandemic. The financials of becoming a doctor just don't make any damn sense any more. Sure you'll make more in the long run, but it's a grind to get there and you basically give up your 20's to get there. This has a lot of negative impacts on your social life and your ability to build any sort of financial stability until your 30's.

I'm really happy to see the change in attitude in medicine. Hospital leadership has been milking the Hypocratic Oath for all the can. Physicians (and other health care workers) are starting to realize this bullshit.

You can render OpenGL with C++ and compile it to Wasm but alsk have it build and run natively (Emscripten or your own bindings or whatever). So this can be a way to do both, while keeping the reach of web. Depends on what kind of application you're building and whether this makes sense for that, for sure.
There is absolutely no reason that FIX should be faster to generate than JSON. I agree that one could plausibly parse it faster. JSON wasn’t meant as a real comparison though — FIX is structurally much more like protocol buffers, but protocol buffers are much better.

As for sequence numbers: suppose your session drops. You’ve received the message with sequence number 5, but you’ve missed 6 and 7. You’ve sent 10 and 11 but the other end only got 10. Now someone (your own misconfigured software or someone else) connects and sends Logon to the server with your comp id, with sequence number 11 but the wrong authentication data. What is even supposed to happen? The session now contains two different message 11s to the server. It’s broken. You can (sometimes) recover by resetting sequence numbers, but that defeats the entire purpose of having sequence numbers in the first place: the server was supposed to recover the original message 11 on a reconnection attempt and correctly handle it as a possible duplicate. (As a practical matter merely experiencing network trouble during a reconnection also seems to break everything, mostly because common FIX implementations are terrible.)

I suppose it must be possible to be so deeply entrenched in the FIX ecosystem that this makes any sense at all, but the whole protocol is backwards. You should connect, authenticate that connection, and then run the session protocol inside the authenticated connection. The Logon should not be sequenced — that gets the layering backwards.
The modern media is at fault here, not nessecarily the company.

If you read the original article, the use of WebAssembly is mainly across a broad array of device types where it will be packaged into an app. That app will require installation, accepting permissions, and all of that just like a native app.

The point is moot except for anyone watching Prime Video in the web browser.

As long as they don't take it as an excuse to reduce bitrates further. It's getting pretty bad these days with macro-blocking everywhere. This practice really took off when covid started. I actually cancelled Netflix because of it. Amazon is not as bad for macroblocks, but I have run into a few shows that show macroblocks, such as Mr. Robot.
I agree that things like zoning and trash are important, I don't think anyone disputes that. However, they're not particularly accessible, engaging topics to discuss. That doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about them, but on the issue of a lack of engagement in the community and local government, citizens are asked to devote time to talking about zoning and trash as opposed to whatever else they choose to fill their time with, whether it's entertainment, side hustles, primary job, etc. On top of that, a growing number of people are being priced out of the market as you point out, which I suspect reduces engagement further. Why would the average person who can't even afford a starter home despite working full-time care about an issue like zoning? It feels like somewhat of a paradox.
Writing a native app for every conceivable platform someone might want to watch Prime Video on seems an awful lot of work
The author should be sworn in and allowed to audit the township. Obviously.

But, also, this is a perfect example of a
Hanlon's razor situation. What's more likely:

a) the board that doesn't know how to do its job particularly well and figures "we hired a CPA... ya know, a professional who knows how to audit... so thanks for volunteering but we don't need a sci-fi author atm. Thanks.", or

b) there's some sort of vast conspiracy involving multiple elected officials, a mid-sized auditing firm with a dozen Principal CPAs half a state away, etc... to... what? steal funds from a tiny township with no meaningful tax base? And, not only that, but the township's administration thinks that not sitting the board of auditors is the least conspicuous way to cover things up.

My interpretation of this thread is that the supervisors are almost certainly more incompetent than corrupt and that the author is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

This is happening more and more often in local government [1]. We have a malcontent on our local school board who is convinced the entire system is Out To Get Her. In reality, she just has no god damn clue how anything works and has a wicked personality disorder.

I find it amazing the lengths python 2 loyalists take to keep using it, and the ferocity when it was EOL'd (the second time).

I wonder how many people are still actively using it (not counting situations such as when OS ships with Python2 and upgrading will break important utilities)?
Is there any analysis of this paper for programmers closer to "lay-people" that can explain this better? It sounds incredibly interesting.
As someone who hates Apple, I don't see anything wrong with this. How many more major OS versions did you want them to keep supplying an EOL version of Python for?

As you say, practicable batteries in production have specific energy under 300 Wh/kg (1 MJ/kg), 40x worse than fuel.

The other technologies you mention don't seem to be practical for now. I don't think it is reasonable to expect any breakthrough making it to market in the next decade. With specific energy doubling every 10+ yrs, electric flight might be sensible for niche applications (training flights, occasional urban transport for example to the airport) in a few years, but for anything else it'll be several decades realistically.
Typically in your first year of employment, you move from being entirely clueless to a useful working professional. Think about how much more value you are bringing your employer. Always bargain with your worth in mind. Not the worth you assign yourself, but the worth you would assign your work. If the raise doesn't feel like it matches your growth, jump ship. Employers who don't value you today won't value you tomorrow.
Programmers were much smaller in numbers, most of them probably enthusiasts, and they pretty much had to understand many more low level details of their machines to effectively use them. Those machines, like the PET here, were also many orders of magnitude simpler than today's computers.

Chances are, someone who actually needed to do "WAIT 6502, x", which is a pretty bespoke statement especially if there is no widely documented device or (interrupt-modified) system variable behind it[1], would be able to figure out the easter egg. And then probably race to publish it in a magazine somehow, so that its existence could be repeated many many times in the press over the decades, which is pretty much what happened.

[1] If that were the case then the easter egg couldn't be there almost by definition.

Make sure you test restores periodically! I had a co-worker who got fired when they tried to reformat a failing disk instead of sending it out for recovery and felt safe because the user "had tape backups." Those were DLTs and perhaps today such failure would be a lot less likely but still. Just do it. Part of basic tape/backup hygiene.

We can also get away with lower GA regulation because there’s relatively few aircraft. If you scaled 1346x to equal the number of automobiles, we’d probably have even more than 1346x accidents, simply because of a self selected pilot skill bias. We’d have to have more regulation then.
I have an LG UHD TV model from 2020 running webOS and I haven't noticed any performance issues either with Prime Video, UHD, HDR or otherwise. I use Bluetooth speakers/earphones for audio.

The genetic model for the occurrence of supreme levels of ability more accurately matches reality than an environmental model. We know that polygentic traits in a population follow a normal distribution[1], which entails a regression to the mean for traits in offspring[2]. This means the occurrence of extreme ability is a function of the ability of the parents. While being rare, it becomes more likely if the parents themselves have some extreme traits.

This dynamic matches what we see in the case of Terrence Tao and his brothers, the Polgar sisters, and other cases of savants/virtuosos that come to mind. Usually one child has extraordinary ability while their siblings are much less remarkable. If the environmental model were accurate, we should see many cases where families produce more than one extreme talent of equal skill. But we don't see that in practice.

> Jump really hard and the suit’s jets cut in, amplifying what the suit’s leg “muscles” did, giving you a three-jet shove, the axis of pressure of which passes through your center of mass. So you jump over that house next door. Which makes you come down as fast as you went up . . . which the suit notes through your proximity & closing gear (a sort of simple-minded radar resembling a proximity fuse) and therefore cuts in the jets again just the right amount to cushion your landing without your having to think about it. And that is the beauty of a powered suit: you don’t have to think about it. You don’t have to drive it, fly it, conn it, operate it; you just wear it and it takes orders directly from your muscles and does for you what your muscles are trying to do.
