Python with type annotations isnt faster using python runtime.

But some packages can utilize it for higher performance but most of the time it'll be slower cause you need to parse extra information if you want to reuse it in pure python.
Whenever I use Edge to open my Gmail account, Google puts in a popup to switch to Chrome. I realize Gmail is a Google product, but I still find it annoying, because I have chosen Edge. I have to see how to turn off this notification.
I'm not sure about the email thing, I've just never used TOTP by email. Anyway I don't see anything glaring. The TOTP code has enough entropy that it won't get cracked in any reasonable amount of time. If you rate-limit login attempts, that would be better, but either way I think it's infeasible to crack. And it's a lot better than letting users use short or common passwords that are on some list already!
He won that cause.

"Pedo guy" is not defamation, just an insult barked back at someone who told him to stick a submarine where the sun doesn't shine.

Not the classiest response, but nothing to cry about.

Considering we're talking about someone who's footing the bill to make significant innovation in multiple sectors, I still view him favourably. I disagree with him politically on a few topics and agree on others.

I hope it's not going to be like DuckDuckGo, which started like a service against Google biased / curated results and ended up manually hiding what they deemed russian propaganda during the latest war, effectively doing what Google was doing.

Are you really a nerd? Do you really know tons of technologies in and out? Are you really that creative? Do all the project really have such potential?

Anyway. Starting projects is easy, finishing them is hard. This can have tons of reasons, you should be more specific what you are struggling with, because from your post, everything about you seems to be perfect.

I would suggest to be more self critical, as long as I'm not misinterpreting your post that is.

How could they realistically do that?
That's a hoax just like the "ok hand gesture" = "white power" debate. It started as a joke on 4ch, now everyone (even big tech) believes in it because of a few thousand (social) media reposts.
Plus, nit to forget, a Legionnaire was a professional soldier. The majority of feudal armies was part time soldiers. Exceptions were late medieval, early Renaissance mercenaries. And those, e.g. Landsknechts, men-at-arms and the Swiss pikemen, dominated the battlefields in their time.

The Romans build their empire on logistics and organization as much as they did on legions and civil engineering. No feudal kingdom came close to that.
Perhaps he's asking as to decide what to do in the company?
FWIW, as a lifetime Windows users, Windows 11 has finally made me switch to using Linux (Zorin OS) as my main system. I retain Windows 10 on a dual boot hard drive for some games but otherwise the switch has been much easier than I expected. Despite being a .Net developer, Microsoft has lost me as a customer for good.
I mean, it's literally what Windows 10 would be if they continued iterating on it, as they initially said they would. And to be honest, I see no compelling reasons to upgrade, especially with how badly they try to push Microsoft Edge and intentionally make the experience of switching the web browser a chore.
Yeah, this ended up on Watchdog on UK TV which was entirely unfair. No UK bank can tell you why your account was frozen, it's illegal to do so.

It's true that if your Python code is being interpreted with CPython then adding type annotations won't make it any faster. But the comment said that if you're already compiling your Python code with Cython then adding type annotations will allow Cython to make your code a little faster.
I used to use OwnTracks to avoid giving my location data to Google, and I'd like to note here that it still gives your location data to Google, as Google is your location provider. Ie it asks Android where you are, Android sends some stuff to Google, Google sends back some coordinates, and OwnTracks stores them wherever you tell it.

Since I didn't want Google to have my location at all, I now just turn off location services except when I need to use GPS. I just wish my device worked for me, instead of for Google.
Because now you have risk from malicious employees at two organisations, your own AND the cloud provider, instead of just one. Furthermore, you have very little visibility into the cloud provider's security practices. And for anyone saying that cloud providers are inevitably more secure than your own organisation, have a look at the Azurescape vulnerability.
Yeah, it's a simplification and one-sided.

The general consensus as I understand it is: column-oriented indices/storage options are good for OLAP, large scale analytics, bulk data analysis. Row-oriented indices are suited more for OLTP, individual "record processing."

Both are just techniques and there's nothing stopping a single db product from offering both.
A super cool mod, but agreed. They could have added more ambient light and make the raytracing effect more subtle and probably much prettier, with just a few lines of code. Some areas and shadows became way too dark.
I think the problem I have with maths is that at the point where I start to realise that the simplifications are wrong, I lose trust in every area of my understanding and want to give up. I can't be comfortable feeling that there's a missing hole in my mental model.

OTOH, it doesn't work at all to give exhaustive mathematical proof because it doesn't construct a model in my head.

So I don't know what the solution is really.

To take complex numbers for example: the idea that -1 has a square root seemed like utter bullshit as it contradicts other models one has had drummed into one. If you look at it as a means to an end, however, it's a useful little bit of machinery that can help to make other problems easier to solve (e.g. converting a differential equation to a quadratic). That makes sense and explains why we're doing it whereas talking about SQRT(-1) starts one off with the feeling that everything is nonsense.
It's a shame Apple killed the Apple ][ line. I would have loved to see what a 32 bit Apple ][ would look like.
His Twitter poll about selling 10% of Tesla was equally disingenuous.

He had pre-arranged those sales in mid-September according to regulatory filings. He also didn’t mention in the tweets that he has millions of stock options that must be exercised.

Musk knows his fans are dumb as rock.
What's a Smoot?
Yes yes yes!!! I had these in elementary school in Northern Ontario. The blog doesn't mention it but it also had multiplayer games. I remember a few..

- a horse race game where people raced horses by answering math questions

- a fishing game where your boat went across the top of the water and you had to catch fish and lobster without snagging your line

- a typing game that did not check if you typed the correct words or all the words, and would just calculate "number of words entered / time you took", so if you started a typing test and hit a letter and then escape, it would give you a ridiculous WPM score

It's wild to think that this entire system was only for such a small segment of the population, that we'd have our own computer line. What a weird time, the 1980s

Use a timer. Time how long you can stay focused on a task. Strive to achieve longer blocks... but don't take this too far. You can achieve a lot in few 1 hour blocks. That being said, if you check your email every 5 minutes... yeah, that's a problem :)
- Frequently re-evaluate which projects matter the most. Have no more than 2 in mind at a time. Everything else is added to your backlog.

- Always try to scale down your projects, avoid making them too grandiose to be achievable.

- Try to achieve at least one thing in what you are trying to focus on every day, no matter how small.

- Embrace pivoting. When we pivot to new projects, it probably means the last idea may not have been all that good.

- Get exercise and eat right.

- Consider getting a prescription for Concerta or Adderall if other ways of finding focus don't work.
Have you read the article? It explicitly claims that 14 of the 15 top Lubyanka officers ceased working with secret services and exited the field. So it was new people with different background who got ahold of these offices after a long 1991-1995 leave.

Maybe they did rehire some of rank-and-file agents. Eventually.

It all depends on access pattern. Do you tend to select entire rows? Use a row-oriented DB. Do you tend to select entire columns? A column-oriented database might be for you. That's it, really. None of the designs are superior, afaik.
> I just don't understand the alternative

Well, one alternative would be that they have to decouple their front-end and back-end and provide open APIs to their backend (posts/tweets, friends lists, etc.).

Facebook/Twitter can moderate/censor whatever they want on their own front-ends, but they can't remove anything from the backend.

People/companies can build alternative front-end apps that access the fb/twitter graphs and censor in a different way - so that users have an alternative.
Well, you can interpret the predicate function body as a set of constraints on the type. Of course, such predicate function would need to be restricted to what your type system can handle. Typed Racket does this, by allowing you to implement type refinements[1]. As long as the predicate only uses operations listed there, it can be used for type checking. Idris also lets you write functions that operate on types and that are used for type checking.

Writing a much faster language runtime for a language that looks quite a bit like Python is easy. The hard problem is writing a faster language runtime that is 100% compatible with all current python programs (and their extensions) out in the world.
I didn’t misinterpret anything. OP saw an opportunity to take a shot at something and get some replies, fair play that’s what HNers do when we’re bored, myself included.

I saw someone talking nonsense about a topic I’m versed in and snapped them off at the stem over it, also what HNers do when they’re bored.
Stop chasing novelty.

Do the same kind of thing habitually.

That's what focus is.

Focus means doing and letting the ideas come while you are doing and only pursuing those ideas which are about what you are doing.

It means new projects slowly so as to stay out of the way of ongoing work.

Focus means new ideas equals more work, not alternative work.
"Twitter is _not allowed_ to remove porn, spam, doxxing, or death threats without a court order (of what jurisdiction?)" would immediately collapse into goatse chaos.
Exactly, and this would be just as true, only on bigger scale, if we just raised wages and tried to filter out 'the best of the best' from a now larger pool of candidates.

Maybe you need to find something that you really enjoy? It feels like you are just hoarding information at the minute, if you enjoy learning something and find the technology useful then you will find it much easier to stick with it.

This is based on a tiny amount of information from you though so take my opinion with a pinch of salt.
Aldi in the UK has an own-brand, vegan, meat replacement range called Plant Menu and it is phenomenally good. Their burgers are considerably better than Beyond's.
It would not be illegal. In fact the iPhone launched with only Safari.

Because Apple is selling the hardware device, they can decide what software they ship on it. This is not specific to phones, it’s true of all hardware. There’s no feature to load arbitrary browsers onto a PlayStation, for example.
Because people like me vote them up, because we prefer interesting, informed critique rather than uncritical positive support.
Yet your washing machine does not need drinkable water specifically (can use rainwater), and your stats do not mention the energy/resource cost of manufacturing and shipping a new washing machine.

If you have collective washing machines as a public service running 24/7, the tradeoff may be worth it, but as a general rule it's certainly not the case. Extracting and refining materials for industrial processes consumes millions and millions of m³ of water and a lot of energy.

Our perception as consumers is skewed because the price we pay for electricity/water makes it economically more affordable to us to get newer devices, but from a resource usage perspective, that's certainly not a good deal for the planet. If we paid water/electricity the price that big industries do, we wouldn't even think getting a new device was a reasonable choice.
Ecuador had a much higher death rate than other countries which took less extreme measures. Sweden, for example, never shut down primary schools and never had much in the way of mask mandates yet they came through much better.

It makes me sad to see that his fan base turned into a cult for the most part. I used to admire him until the veil fell off, I still admire the technologies him and the smart people at Tesla and SpaceX have created, but my admiration doesn't extend to him anymore.
I don’t really think IaC is there yet, as someone who has used terraform (and now pulumi) in production for some time.

My biggest gripe is that the feedback loop is fairly slow: planning often predicts valid config that fails in deployment. It doesn’t help that the process of planning is really slow (see https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/8872 it can take minutes for pulumi to plan changes if using azblob backend) with little incentive for teams like pulumi to investigate or fix unless you use their cloud. I get that pulumi is in the business of promoting their own cloud, but there are few (if any im aware of) IaC solutions not intrinsically tied to for-profit SaaS because it’s incredibly labor intensive to build consistent interfaces to several constantly changing cloud providers.
This happens in the US too. This kind of thing is why I'm using crypto for as much as I can, I always feel like my bank account might disappear one night and all the money in it will be tied up for a month or so. It's already happened to me once.
You can use them for sure - the compiler still supports them - but nasty stuff will happen if you do it in the Symbian kernel. Presumably there are things you don't want to do in C in the kernel - like using heap memory allocation in certain situations or calling printf() or something like that.

Prioritize and track your time. Write goals for each month, then break down each goal into what needs to be done. At some point you have to give most of your attention to a single project. I know this can be difficult, I have the same problem.
The <a download> attribute sounds great on paper, but if request fails for whatever reason your user will, very confusingly, download a file named exactly as you specify but with error page HTML as contents.

There is no straightforward way[0] for you to gracefully handle an error, which is quite an oversight once you factor in that network isn’t always reliable.

Having used it at first, I switched to server-side logic where I return data with Content-Disposition header if everything went well or redirect the user to show a proper error message in case of a problem.

[0] I imagine this could be worked around with some JS-based preflight or other trickery—which sounds like a suitable solution only if you have no control over the headers returned for some reason.

I've written about the history of PostScript, Interpress and NeWS before:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21968175

>Kragen is right that PostScript is a lot more like Lisp or Smalltalk than Forth, especially when you use Owen Densmore's object oriented PostScript programming system (which NeWS was based on). PostScript is semantically very different and much higher level that Forth, and syntactically similar to Forth but uses totally different names (exch instead of swap, pop instead of drop, etc). [...]

>Owen Densmore recounted John Warnock's idea that PostScript was actually a "linguistic motherboard". [...]

>Brian Reid (whose brother is Glenn Reid, author of several books on PostScript from Adobe) wrote up an excellent historical summary in 1985 on the laser-lovers mailing list of the influences and evolution of PostScript.

>DonHopkins 8 months ago [-]

>Brian Reid wrote about page independence, comparing Interpress' and PostScript's different approaches. Adobe's later voluntary Document Structuring Conventions actually used PostScript comments to make declarations and delimit different parts of the file -- it wasn't actually a part of the PostScript language, while Interpress defined pages as independent so they couldn't possibly affect each other:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fa.laser-lovers/H3us...

>By now you can probably see the fundamental philosophical difference between PostScript and Interpress. Interpress takes the stance that the language system must guarantee certain useful properties, while PostScript takes the stance that the language system must provide the user with the means to achieve those properties if he wants them. With very few exceptions, both languages provide the same facilities, but in Interpress the protection mechanisms are mandatory and in PostScript they are optional. Debates over the relative merits of mandatory and optional protection systems have raged for years not only in the programming language community but also among owners of motorcycle helmets. While the Interpress language mandates a particular organization, the PostScript language provides the tools (structuring conventions and SAVE/RESTORE) to duplicate that organization exactly, with all of the attendant benefits. However, the PostScript user need not employ those tools.
Revisiting your provocative comments, I agree w/ much of it but not that there is less "free time" now than in centuries past. On the contrary -- for the vast majority of people, most waking hours were actively spent on subsistence and survival until very recently in human history.
