These are all microarchitectural things that should not be surfaced in language, IMHO. This is why compilers exist, to raise the level of abstraction. For example, other than sidechannels (i.e. Spectre), OOO is not observable, nor is ILP or cache hints. Delay slots are observable at the ISA level but typically compilers do the work of dealing with them. Thank god delay slots didn't make it into programming languages; they were a wart of ISA design surfaced because of a lack of decent branch prediction. Can you imagine if you had a bizarre feature where the next line of code after a branch still executed even if the branch was taken? That'd be bonkers.
I've studied Disney history quite a bit and this is a fascinating outlier in US politics. It is the only example of a fully privatized government operating on US land.

At the time that "The Florida Project" was proposed (now known as Walt Disney World), the surrounding areas were nothing more than useless swamps. Neither of the counties had money or infrastructure to support what Disney wanted to do, so the company proposed running its own government services like roads, power lines, and water management.

While innovative and quite amazing at the time, this arrangement seems completely unnecessary today when Disney is a huge corporation which can pay local governments and follow their laws, like every competitor has to do.
Ah, that explains how the joke works. The linked article wasn't especially good, I felt. It's a little too on-the-nose.

That's just Poe's Law in action. It's hard to parody extremists because they parody themselves. People really do post precisely like this.

The joke works better on Twitter itself than on their web site. The side needs a link to it to complete the joke, but it's almost like coming into the gag halfway through.
Your job isn't there to provide you with employment, it's there to meet the business needs and that is your role. If you are deemed to not be a functional part of the apparatus then you will quickly be terminated. The corporate structure is there is facilitate this and that means doing the corporate asks. Daft as they might seem. After all, you are just a cog in the machine.

> their friends' machines had malicious android apps harvesting contact addresses

Basically the majority of apps in the Play Store have permissions to see the contacts, then they vacuum up the whole address book and sell it to companies doing correlation with data from other services—and pretty much compiling giant stores of identifying info and contacts. I guess it's a given that tons of that info also falls into spammers' hands, and since almost no one in the public ever heard of these particular companies, they face zero consequences for what they're doing.
What opensource project is closest to "doing python the right way", in your opinion?

> Keto was not responsible for you losing weight or putting your diabetes into remission

Incorrect. Restricting carbohydrates absolutely was the reason my A1Hc went down and I came off insulin within 3 months of starting keto while I was still morbidly obese

> I don't understand why it is so hard for people to understand the concept is literally just "calories in minus calories used / out = weight gain or loss." It is simple thermodynamics.

When did I state the contrary? I didnt. What Keto did for me was allow my body to reach satiety without excess caloric intake and stabilize my blood sugar levels which help control hunger.

> Keto/Paleo diets are among the least nutritious and most difficult to adhere to (most people who claim to follow keto/paleo don't, because it's extremely restrictive), consistently ranking among the worst diets health-wise by nutritional scientists. One of the best is the Mediterranean diet, one which involves no red meat.

I lived in the Mediterranean area for a number of years, I can assure you…plenty of red meat was consumed where I lived. By the way…I have been on a keto diet for more than 5 years. My heath is good, my doctor has zero complaints and has suggested keto as an option to other T2 diabetics and overweight folks in his practice because of the success it has had for me and some of his other patients.

> You want to help the environment?
I think my point was and is that I am not willing to do it at the expense of my own health. In terms of other things you mentioned, not sure why that is even part of the discussion.
Also very annoying for everyone else if there isn't a standard system of weights and measures. Being able to trust the coins and communicate clearly about what you are buying or selling removes a lot of unnecessary hassle from everyday life - imagine going to a pub but not knowing what a 'pint' will mean until you order!
I am well aware of CPU dies. But as I wrote that first sentence I read it "bad" from your perspective! I correlate much stronger "dies" with death than with a die.
Anyone can claim to be a writer, but it seems obvious that he actually _is_ a writer. See: the book he wrote.

Writing also _can_ be more than just fluff, but it doesn't need to be. It may not be your style, but long form, not-concise content has it's place. See: The New Yorker, etc.

I don't disagree with the feedback that it's rambling; for some, that destroys the value, while for others that's the point.

It's also an interesting representation of a topic he touches on; that social media has turned everything in to bite-sized nuggets of insight with no meat around them, that nobody – not even literary reviewers – have the patience to sit down and fully digest anything longer than a simple blog post length summary.

The absolute worst offender are political activists: (In the US)

I attended my town's meeting for a political party in 2016. I put my name and email on the list with an email address that I made up on the spot. It continues to get HAMMERED by every up-and-coming politician in the state who's trying to make a name for themselves.

A few years ago I attended Senator Ed Markey's roadshow for the Green New Deal. I again used a unique email address. Someone on the staff sent the address a LinkedIn invite promoting their puppet show business.

I interviewed with Microsoft in the fall of 2004 and used a unique email address on the application. It started getting SPAM. I think I blocked it in my email provider.

Looking in my SPAM folder, most of the spam is going to my gmail account, and most of it is recruiter spam. (There are a lot of recruiters who just SPAM, and I report them.) But: I have 2 emails in German to an email address I used with the Computer History Museum in Mountain View probably sometime between 2005-2007.

Speaking of resume spam: Next time I publish a resume I'm going to do "jobboard_year@...". I'm getting hammered with resume spam, a lot of it from recruiters who either haven't read my resume, have poor comprehension, or hit send with glaring errors.

Years ago I blocked a bunch of addresses in my email provider that I never used. (I'm not going to look them up now.) They were very random, but somehow they just kept getting emails. I have no idea why.

And finally: In 2003 I put out a resume with "resume@..." That got hammered with SPAM. A repeat offender was someone trying to sell a car detailing franchise. I had to block that address.

Instead of regulating the statistical properties of the degradation, what if we just required ISPs to refund customers for times when they tried to use the bandwidth they were sold but couldn’t? Maybe the refunds could be 1.2 times the original price of that bandwidth. So if there’s an outage, you don’t pay for that time. That might line up the incentives better.
> The original purpose of owning shares in a company wasn't only that the value of the shares themselves would increase, but that they'd pay dividends so shareholders can make a profit over the life of a company.

I do not want dividends if I think the business can invest the money with a higher probability of better ROI than I can. If shareholders want dividends, they can vote for them.

How is typing productive in large codebases? If I see a bunch of imports related to typing only, I have to juggle them around in my mind together with stuff that really matters.

Not to mention the notorious circular import problem, that is much more likely in a big codebase.

If I have a custom class, that class has to be passed as a type hint for functions. What If I use that class in another module, but have to import it inside this one that has a type-hint only?

Well, let me introduce you to their genious solution:

from _future_ import annotations
from foomod import FooClass

def myfun(foo: FooClass):
return foo.bar()

Wonderful, isn't it?

Ernie Chan's books are a great starting point. If you plan on getting into the ML side of things then Stefan Jansen and Marcos De Prado's books are a must have.

Some advice: Read lots of books, stay away from Reddit, be prepared to get lamented by other algo traders, expect every idea you read about to have lost all it's alpha, get ready for several misguided "I've done it, I'm rich" moments, and most of all have fun. It's a long and arduous journey with very little hope, but if you like impossible challenges then there's nothing quite like it.

The relevant xkcd - https://xkcd.com/1279/

My father has encountered this a fair bit. He was able to get a one of the most prolific incorrect email address users to realize their mistake when they used his email address while purchasing a house in England and he was able to contact the realtor to get back to the person misusing the address and correct the email address.

There's still someone who has emirates frequent flier miles associated with his email address that they can't use (they've forgotten the password to the account and it keeps sending the email to him - but without enough information for him to either respond back or identify the account to have it corrected).

Nah, the profanity rules are substantially relaxed for live broadcasts these days. "Fleeting expletives" will not trigger a fine. Indeed, just watch a Sunday afternoon NFL game and you're guaranteed to hear some naughty words. Primetime games generally use a delay so the audio can be dumped, but the afternoon games don't bother with it even though they're on broadcast TV as well.
Totally agree. I'm on a project using python for the first time and really can't believe how horrible it is to not have type checking, especially given that it takes time to run the code as a glue job.

I once got someone's COVID test results. I called their doctor immediately and when they acted confused, I quickly told them that they could get in a lot of trouble for HIPA violations because they sent me so much personal information.
I have the same issue. I do wonder if it's sometimes people who don't have an email address, or don't want to share it. A company insists so they give the obvious gmail address, which is actually mine.
That's the issue - we don't actually know what they did. Which means their claims would have to be taken on faith.

Now, maybe other researchers designed different more rigorous studies that are replicable and which show the same effect. That could be the case. The point I'm making here is that the DK paper isn't by itself capable of proving the effect it claims, and that you don't need a statistical argument to show that. Sanity checking the study design is a good enough basis on which to criticize it.

You mistook the first thing that he wrote as the thing the entire essay was about, and you mistook the development of the first thing he wrote into his larger argument as repetitions of the first thing he wrote.

Not an essay on how cool it is to have books, or how pretentious it is to have books.
There are many complaints in this discussion about inaccuracies in the post but you've actually captured the essence of the problem--type hints just don't solve the problem well.

My team began using type hints and aggressively applied mypy to new code starting a couple years ago and it _has_ helped immensely. However, we also started doing some work in Typescript around the same time and the difference in developer experience and code quality is pretty clear. Typescript is just a better solution to the problem of adding type information to a dynamic language.

What's especially frustrating is living through the design and early life of asyncio (Guido, you should have adopted the gevent model), then getting excited about typing, only to find it is also not very good. What's _especially_ frustrating is that Typescript existed two years before PEP 484 was published, so the core developers had ample time to seek inspiration elsewhere, and they came up with a sub-standard solution.

Python needs a Typescript analogue, with a compiler that targets vanilla Python.
We've done a lot lately to reduce the learning curve for OptaPlanner (open source).

Have you seen our quickstarts repo?
https://github.com/kiegroup/optaplanner-quickstarts
It features various use cases across various technologies.
Both Android and iOS try their best to detect the code and prompt you to use it, but all these messages are different and nonstandard; some even include multiple code-looking strings, like a transaction reference for logging purposes. So both OSes fail at it very regularly.

Things would be easier if 2FA systems agreed on a common format that can be semi-automated better. Which again is probably something that will never happen unless authorities step in.
I concur with this. Java JITs do a ton of optimizations and all of the effects of exceptions are minimal, second-order things, like keeping something alive a little longer (for deoptimization/debugging). If the compiler has a good notion of hot/cold paths, then a lot of optimizations that you'd be tempted to think up for exceptions fall out naturally from the more general notion, including spilling the likely-never-used-but-alive-for-deopt values onto the stack in the important paths.

Their strategy of becoming HBO before HBO becomes Netflix seems to be failing because they keep putting out complete garbage shows instead of prestige TV.

I blame it on their pivot towards reality shows. We watched the Great British Baking Show (it's nice) and now there seems to be 10 different Netflix original baking shows, all bad. It's just spray and pray at this point.
They're selling a service that provides "up to" the quoted speeds. Generally, the provisioned rate is actually higher than the quoted speeds, so unless the ISP is particularly awful they definitely can provide those speeds. Just not 100% of the time, which is why they're "up to."

The amount of capacity required to guarantee speeds would be massive. And how far does that extend? Does the ISP have to maintain that capacity just within their network? Or would every peering connection also have to be able to handle 100% of subscriber bandwidth?

The whole idea quickly falls apart as soon as you look at it a little deeper.
I agree in principle, although I think to get an effect size similar to what DK observed you'd need quite large noise. Which again comes back to the test reliability.
Since the + tab was integrated in the regular CNN app (w/ region-check), incl. login, etc. it doesn't seem as if the wheel was dramatically reinvented here.
> The whole net neutrality saga just exposed the deep regulatory capture between ISPs and the FCC (the Republican Commissioners at least).

An effective method for defeating geographic internet monopolies is to force ISPs to rent out their lines at fair prices. This is the status quo in the UK, where competition forced internet prices to lower. That this common sense pro-consumer policy is not pursued by the Democratic FCC commissioners is evidence of some lesser level of regulatory capture of their side as well.
