https://buildspace.so was good for introducing me to the ropes of solidity and web3. Since then I've realized how useless and inefficient web3 is outside of DeFi, and since DeFi can only be made by geniuses that also have enough money to pay security firms to ensure a single smart contract doesn't result in a hacker leeching all your funds, I've stopped learning everything crypto, but while I was still convinced, buildspace was a really good intro. I did their solidity tutorial (few weeks) and make an NFT webpage tutorial (few days). Not at all comprehensive, but it helps you get started really well and fast
"My opinion is the correct one"

I understand that. And this is what I like in Black. But the single quotes thing is really up to debate. When you use it with other tools such as flake8 or pylint, you have to disable a bunch of things to make them work together because no one agrees on this point.
I don't think there ever was another solution.

Climate change policy will always incur asymmetrical costs, and the people who it effects wouldn't willingly enact them, and others would rarely share that burden in a meaningful way. Outside of innovation, any other policy will most likely incur economic cost which politicians are hesitant to do, especially now with how stretched lower classes are.

I think the only way out is to make non hydrocarbon based energy production cheaper and as dependable as hydrocarbons.
You could invest it and work towards an early retirement.
Personally, I don't understand the appeal of opinionated code formatters. If you don't want to discuss "taste" questions, then just don't, it doesn't matter what option you pick. If it is an important question, then you should debate it.

I think you can convey meaning with subtle code style differences. Empty lines to delineate blocks. Single quotes if the string is a keyword, double quotes if it is for the user. Spaces around operators to make an expression clearer. I spend a minute or two before I commit to make the code tidy (linter and then manual tweaking) and would expect that from everybody on my team - it takes often less time than rebasing and picking good commit names, for example.

But even though it annoys me slightly when I encounter Black (or god forbid, Go) used in a project, I know a lot of people like it a lot, and it is good to have the choice. So congrats to the release! :-)
You can recognize that racism has and continues to impact people without being racist.

I'd define Success as a dot product of hard work and luck. The less white society likes you, the more luck you need. A bit of extra luck doesn't discount the hard work.
I don't think the Democrats are actually that miffed by the constitution limiting their ability to implement change. If they were really wishing they could do more, they wouldn't pretend they couldn't do anything when they actually do have the ability.
Hi, I survived 17 days on a ventilator back in 2001. Recovery is a long process both physically and mentally.

https://ardsglobal.org/restoring-function-via-rehabilitation...

The official title to guide your research is ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome. There seemed to be a lot of new info when I reached today.

The tips I can provide as a Type 1 diabetic and having survived ARDS are the following.
Reshi mushrooms and other foods to improve your lungs and oxygen levels will help.
Take melatonin as that is both an antioxidant and it helps the immune system.
Look for probiotics w Reuteri, as that strain helps the others stick. You may also have to cleanse yeasts out too. A women's product candex helps w gut. Products based on caprilic acid work against internal but yeast does a "die off reaction" where it poisons you to get you to avoid the things that limit the yeast.

Best wishes for a good recovery.
Maybe the post is too nuanced.

What exactly did Burke say that was easily proven false by 2 minutes of research?

I found "Freeze-Drying of Pharmaceutical and Food Products" at https://books.google.com/books?id=WopwAgAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&ots=8... with "Brief history of freeze-drying technology".

> There were three events which had the milestone significance in the early development in freeze-drying technology:

> (1) Earl W. Flosdorf and Stuart Mudd from University of Pennsylvania successfully preserved the human serum by freeze-drying using glass apparatus in 1933

> (2) During World War II, the freeze-drying process was developed commercially when it was used to preserve blood plasma and penicillin. Howard Walter Florey and Ernst Boris Chain, the scientists who followed up most successfully on Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928, devised the method to store the penicillin by freeze-drying in 1938, and made great contribution to clinical application during World War II. The three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1945. Several years later, Charles Merieux (French virologist) made the freeze drying as a regular technology for vaccine preservation.

> (3) In 1930, Nestlé's chairman was approached by the Brazilian Coffee Institute and asked to develop coffee that was soluble in hot water and retaining its flavor. At the time, Brazil had a huge coffee surplus. After seven years of painstaking research at the Nestlé research centre laboratory in Switzerland, scientist Max Mortgenthaler invented freeze-dried coffee and the powered coffee was first produced in 1938, which led to the development of powdered food products.

That last sounds close enough to your summary that I would have to know more exactly what Burke said.

It looks like it was from "Life is No Picnic" in Connections 3, available from https://archive.org/details/connections-1-04-faith-in-number... . It seems a decent match.

https://tomharperkelly.com/breakfastkration/ describes how US Army Rations had soluble coffee in the First World War, but it wasn't until "1940 [when] the Army adopted "Nescafe," a product of Nestle's Milk Products, Incorporated, for its C Ration. Nescafe combined soluble coffee with maltose, dextrine, and dextrole to improve the coffee's taste and aroma.", and coffee was later used in the K-rations, as Burke mentioned.

I haven't been able to find if "Nescafe" is indeed freeze-dried coffee, or something else. But my two-minute search suggests it is.
Huge milestone for the Python community! Very happy for you guys. In Elixir, `mix format` has saved so much time across multiple projects and teams. I can't remember the last time I talked about line breaks and how to divvy up a long multiple line function header.
Black will use single quotes if your string contains double quotes and no single quotes. It'll reformat

print("\"Hello\" he said")

to

print('"Hello" he said')

I think pretty much all formatters for languages that let you use either quote do this. It makes sense.
Yes, that's my worry also (knowing nothing about the world of contemporary classicists): in Anglophone countries such as the USA and UK it's become normal even among educated people to think that speaking a foreign language is just utterly beyond them. It's pretty embarrassing.
First, let's start with the fact that €8B is a wrong number. The last estimate is €7–7.5B. Next, you should consider the following factors:

- The Finish nuclear regulation is quite paranoid, even by "western" standards. Also add political pressure on the top of it.

- The project probably includes significant modification of the standard Russian design. Meaning additional design and certification costs. While Russia and most other foreign countries use mostly "standard" designs. But note that it's effectively a one-time cost, i.e. it will not apply to the same extent to additional reactors in the same country.

- It's a greenfield project, meaning the cost includes supporting infrastructure. Building additional reactors at an existing site or close to it will be noticeably cheaper (as the case with VVERs build today in Russia).

- Usually, in such projects the hosting side wrestles as much as possible for stuff to be built and procured locally. Meaning, labor and materials which are relatively cheap in Russia/Turkey/Egypt/etc. will cost 1.5-3x more in Finland.
100% agree. We innovate our way out of this or we go over a cliff, as if politicians tried to reduce standards of living instead, they would be thrown out in favour of authoritarians who simply would not care about environmental harm.
That is true. I did not want to sound entitled, it is a free for-fun project after all. Just wanted to bring awareness about UI events to other hnews readers

You can search for something more secure, sure - but don't break the damn system for the millions of people who need it and refuse to deal with ID.me.
I suspect there may be semi-regular updates =)
Peopleware is astonishingly relevant and short enough to finish reading over a weekend. Definitely recommend it to anyone starting a career in tech. Then give it a second glance 5-10 years in and see how many more workplace anti-patterns you recognize from your experience...
This is my (actually quite scary) experience too. I think if we one day crack artificial general intelligence we’ll come to the sad and scary realization that most people are just really good at hiding their lack of understanding and reasoning ability.
I agree with what you're saying.

An important fact that has gone completely under the radar is the radically changing demographics of the media (both sides).
The media used to be much more decentralized with a much greater diversity of views (rich and poor).

Now with increasing technology and centralization of distribution, the demographics of people in the media is largely that of the elites. Journalists working for CNN, Fox or MSNBC are paid very high wages, come from the best schools and according to all conventional markers are in the top 10% of society.
And this is reflected in the content they put out which is to generate controversy, keep the plebs squabbling amongst themselves and divert attention way from wealthy elites.

This is their agenda and it's working fabulously.
I thought we edited clickbait-y headlines like this. The name of the malicious app is "2FA Authenticator".

I find this "business plot"[0] to be fascinating as well.

>Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler asserted that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist veterans' organization with Butler as its leader and use it in a coup d'état to overthrow Roosevelt.

>Early in the committee's gathering of testimony most major news media dismissed the plot, with a New York Times editorial falsely characterizing it as a "gigantic hoax".

Your first link has nothing to do with Patreon.

The second one also doesn't support the "unbeknownst to most of its users", given that they got a vimeo subscription so they could use the feature to upload to Vimeo through Patreon. Patreons documentation is quite clear on that, and you can't use it without setting up and linking a Vimeo account... It's not really surprising Patreon isn't footing the bill for a "upload your videos to vimeo" feature.

So this seems to be basically entirely on Vimeo, except for Patreon not offering their own video solution.
I wish I found this post before commenting in other threads on HN last night.

> I don't see this conversation going anywhere productive, but do you not think anything has changed since the Great Depression?

In the sale of blue-sky securities? Not a darn thing.

> As for what's different, my answer would be scale. DAOs make it easier to coordinate large groups of people. Take a look at what OrangeDAO seeks to fund.

Sounds like a VC fund. Just wait until you see the list of those projects!

> Many of them are targeted towards corporate infrastructure; replacing traditional processes with software-first functions, which allow a lot of disparate people to function together more easily, and reduces the friction of "a group of people working together towards a common goal" from that of an existing corporation.

So like, Zoom and GSuite? I'm not sure how "Waze for moving crypto assets" fulfills that goal.

He doesn't say it was invented by the coffee industry in S. America. He says it was invented by the Nestlé company.

Starting at 1:49 at https://archive.org/details/connections-1-04-faith-in-number... he describes how Brazil has a coffee surplus, there's no way to sell it all, then Nestlé comes up with the answer.

First of all, the traditional sysadmin role is not going away any time soon.
It's changing constantly as any tech job is not the same as 10 years ago (obviously there are some rare exceptions).

You gotta adapt and constantly learn new stuff, and there are enough roles to grow into like DevOps, security or cloud architecture.

But if you love programming go for it, you can always change back if you don't like it.
Nice to hear! That will also help with accessibility, some tools for people with disabilities depend on those events being properly configured.
What are those other funding options?

He gives quite a rant, but doesnt mention a specific deal. The Backend link and the Miami incubators dont specify amounts.

14% is high - but that implies that your post-YC was not great.

The previous 7% deal is also still available.

Overall - he make the usual points, nothing new.

Amazing. I love outbursts like this. Gatekeeping, arrogance, a complete meltdown and inability to cope with reality, all packaged and presented as a self righteous lecture that no one asked for. I have to wonder what value you think you're providing?

"Stupid people should shut-up and listen to the smart people!" is that it?

Am I leading the "stupid" astray? Am I the villain to your hero? This is cute, really.

May I ask how many lives have you saved today? Donated any blood lately? Perhaps you volunteer at your local fire department? Anything at all?

"Oh look the self anointed arbiter of the intellectual elite is here to rescue us from the very bad, no good, misinformation brigade!"

How many dragons have you vanquished on the internet today? Do you pat yourself on the back every time you blow your load?

Guess what else? Smart and stupid people can see you too. They can all see just "how much you get it".

Take a deep breath, look in the mirror, and try to do better next time.

Thanks for the laugh.
Not that I don't appreciate the shoutout (I'm one of the developers of pip-audit), but what's the connection? Is it because black is installed via pip?

I'm personally glad to see Python development come to the same conclusion enforced by Go's opinionated tooling.

That is: style questions are almost always unimportant to producing value, but teams still waste excessive time on them because of the engineering tendency to bikeshed triviata.
"A friend of mine recently turned down a job promotion that included a raise of $100,000 a year. He has some financial flexibility to turn down the offer, since he’s already a mid-level executive at a Fortune 1000 company and makes about $300,000 annually. He said he determined “it just wasn’t worth it” since the promotion called for more travel and more time away from family"

That makes absolute sense. Many people would no sell even more of their time if they cannot enjoy other aspects of their lives. But if it's really the kind of position that requires you to give your family time away for the company, they'll likely have to pay even more to fill that position.

That's why I don't find surprising at all that executive pay is so much higher than the average employee's. At some level it's hard to justify the extra cash in exchange for your life away. Lots of qualified people would not take that deal
I believe it's reference to new Disney movie Encanto - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWRMAU6V-c
[Novel mRNA vaccines] have been tested on literally hundreds of millions of adults with a tiny number of cases where the vaccine has been dangerous. The vaccines are medicine.

Covid has killed millions of people, and even when it doesn't kill, it can engender a long-term disability which massively reduces quality of life. Covid is a pathogen.

Are you seriously trying to equate these two ? Really ?
You can only eat certain fruit bodys of plants, while animals can eat a whole lot more and the stuff you throw away.

What we feed livestock isn't exactly for human consumption and mostly non human available calories. This calculation on calories has the fatal flaw, that they assume an average calories output of farmland and intake of humans and livestock.
On paper it checks out, but it has no grounding in reality.

Animals are great meat and protein processors, that can make farming much more efficient and sustainable.

The vegan diet is fun with avocados, cacao, coconut, almonds and so on, but that is intensive stuff for farming and it can not be easily ramped up.

Pigs scale much easier and can be fed with food waste.

I've been fortunate enough to have worked across pretty much every portion of the stack with the exception of hardware or core networking protocols. Everywhere else, I have experience and am comfortable.

Yes, you are definitely going to be trading for more stress and it is highly possible that it will be less fun, but that's not necessarily guaranteed especially if you land in the right role, right dev culture, and right leadership; however, that's a lot of things that have to go right, which, it almost never does.

I started with database admin, then sysadmin, then dev. Sysadmin is more fun and the people and environment are generally more fun; however, dev is more fun to understand depending on what you want to do with the knowledge gained. If you plan to build something in tech, you want to use this opportunity learn to be an effective developer.

That being said, if you don't care about that, then, maybe the stress isn't worth it. I personally now value having time to myself. That's really hard to do as a dev because whether you like it or not, you are carrying those hard problems around with you all day, every day, until they are solved. It's like a weight being placed on your chest from the moment you wake up, until you crawl into bed from your work desk.

Like all things in this industry, YMMV and you'll have to weight the pros and cons.

EDIT: also, daily standup meetings kinda suck.
No one forces anyone to buy or use an iPhone (or Android). Why should a private company has to allow conpetition on their own platform for their own hardware?

For comprehensible input you shouldn't need to learn the meaning when learning kanji. You should already know the meaning/sound from spoken language. There is definitely memorization required to learn to map the kanji to the words they represent, but the way most learners do it is not comprehensible input.

There are textbooks that follow a CI approach, e.g. Eleanor Jorden's. John Defrancis's textbooks are similar but for Chinese. If you look at the reviews the main complaint people have is that they are not learning kanji from the start, despite Jorden explaining exactly why she's not doing that.

Maybe CI is not the best way to learn languages like Chinese and Japanese, but the approach most learners take is definitely not CI.
Oh I got that, make no mistake. It's just that while that might be true for you or gp, I find the comparison dishonest.

Cryptobros aren't in it as a hobby or because they "just enjoy the tech like other people enjoy pokemon", they want to make money with a speculative asset and spread false promises to rope in as many people as possible to drive up the price.

If that is not the case, well let it crash. After all: You can still enjoy it without the gambling aspect or even popularity, can't you?
Because the reality is that the OEM doesn't want to track OS installations and Microsoft doesn't want to audit that tracking. With per-CPU licensing, the OEM can just say "here's our invoices from Intel".
These kinds of recommendations and thoughts are extremely important moving forward. I do not believe the agency of government will be able to keep up with the speed of progress and it will become increasingly important for us to take lessons learned throughout history and apply them at an individual level. I'm very biased towards crypto as I see the increasing failures of government action leading to massive wealth inequality. If you have any specific resources you'd recommend on reading up on the commerce clause I'd be interested in reading up on them. My bias is unlikely to reveal anything favorable of the for that act, as I'm already quite averse to the overreach the government has taken with that policy used as its launching point.
