The problem is that you've fallen into the trap of modern political thinking: that all politics is national, and all that matters is the big decisions that get voted on that affect everyone equally.

And similarly, the false notion that all members of Party A are fungible, and it doesn't matter if I, personally, am represented by someone I hate, so long as there's a member of my party somewhere in congress.

But that's not really the point of a representative republic. Our specific, local needs and desires are supposed to actually be represented by by our members of Congress.

So in terms of actual representation, it would actually be better to have a district that voted nearly unanimously for candidate A, and another district that voted nearly unanimously for candidate B, because then the vast majority of people would be getting the representative that they voted for, and represents them.

In the scenario where every district is purple, fully half the people have no representation of their interests in congress.
Thanks for the information. Best of luck on the project :^)

I think it's not necessarily better, but it's diminishing returns for additional complexity.
That argument is ridiculous. So dense neighborhoods are popular, therefore prices are rising because more people want to live in a dense neighborhood.

The solution to that is not "let's build more undesirable neighborhoods so prices are not increasing" but to change zoning regulations so more dense neighborhoods can be build to satisfy demand!

The difference between Tether and DollarCoin is that you can (if nobody is lying) exchange a tether for a USD. If each USD that bought a tether was burned as in DollarCoin, then it wouldn't have that property. You're not supposed to "burn any money" when you mint tether, you're supposed to put aside $1 that can be exchanged for that tether at a later date. I think what you're missing is that backed stablecoins don't involve burning any money at all, so whether or not that'd be a good idea is irrelevant.
I don't agree with Putin either, but I also agree that his actions make sense within his own frame of reference.

It's not just about whether the Ukrainian's lives would be better from any observer's opinion. Nor is it a matter of them 'being under ... influence' as though they have no agency and are simply chaff blown in the wind. This conflict is fundamentally not about influence over Ukrainians, but about the Ukrainian people's right to self determination.

This whole situation is often framed as the power and influence of great powers over regional pawns. That is not at all what this is about. Until February this year the USA as a nation barely even registered that Ukraine existed, let alone whether they had any influence over it. Ukraine was a patch of land along the route of a Russian gas pipeline, and that's the only reason it was important at all. The USA couldn't have cared less. It was an addendum to a footnote in their foreign policy, hence the feeble and deliberately ineffectual response to the annexation of Crimea.

What triggered the Russian annexation of Crimea, was it US foreign policy shifts? A buildup of NATO forces? No, it was the Maidan protests in Kyiv bringing down a pro-Kremlin regime, and free and fair elections in Ukraine clearly indicating the Ukrainian people wanted to turn west. It was action by the Ukrainian people that triggered that response, not NATO. They are the ones driving this shift, and that's why all of this is even more maddening for Putin because he sees this as a traitorous betrayal of Russia by Ukrainians, by daring to think that they have any right to do so.

This is why I talked about "signing up to the same view of the status of Ukraine and therefore the Ukrainian people"
Employees / Contractors / Customers / Suppliers are NOT your friends.

I'm not saying you need to become the "boss from hell", but you should always maintain that arms-length relationship.

It is inevitable that one day they will let you down or they will withhold information from you or any other number of things. If you did not maintain the arms-length relationship with them, then you will take it personally and it will be painful.

There is truth in the old saying, don't mix work & pleasure.
I wouldn't quite agree that people will happily give you money for anything that makes their pain less. There is still oboarding friction, possible import issues, fear of vendor lock-in etc.

I think it is something that is easy to describe in theory, "ship what people want", "pivot quickly" etc. but the truth is most of us think we have solved a problem with our product but as soon as the first customer says, "I would buy it if you changed all those things", we quickly get stuck between, "product market fit" and "I am not solving your problem so let's find the customer whose problem I am solving" to avoid creating something that only customer wants.
The problem with hashes is, that you cannot prove what the original image was without actually getting caught with csam.

So basically, a whistleblower takes photos of some very incriminating documents, someone gets accused of eg. money laundering, hashes of those images get added to the "csam" database, and you find the first person (via metadata) who had that image on their phone.

Also, in some more repressive countries, an image of a famous cartoon bear photoshopped to look like some president can be added, and all the people who look/have/download images (memes) like that, can get put on a "list".

UFO stuff is a new one I've taken up. US Navy literally revealed UFOs and committee politicians said publicly that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Usually you just get denial and such but they just outright admitted it. No humans involved, this is equipment corroborating and evaluating movement of UFOs that aren't technologically possible. There's no explanation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon he's pretty vindicated eh? Though I do consider the possibility is that US military has new pilotless fighters that can do tremendous manuevers that no pilot could follow.

There's something about Ukraine as well. Canada just flew our PM, deputy PM, and another minister into Ukraine a warzone? Shouldn't the deputy PM stay back at home for national security reasons? They had to have flown in, they couldn't have driven in the timeline. Russia just let them fly in? Russia obviously owns air superiority. They were wearing masks in 90% vaccinated Canada but when they got to 20% vaccinated Ukraine they didn't wear masks anymore? Definite conspiracy going on. Just not sure what the conspiracy is...

Out of all the immigration officials you deal with when entering the US (i.e. not in the back room, but those presenting a "face" for the country), such an incredibly large amount are such toolbags. They have no manners, show no respect, nothing. It's not all of them of course, but far more than is acceptable. I don't know how to put it any other way. They are simply power-tripping losers. It's frankly embarrassing for the country.

There was a ramp up of new WordPress and specifically WooCommerce sites starting in late summer of 2020 and spiking huge in December 2020 & January 2021. These are people that were stuck at home due to lockdown or losing their jobs and they started online businesses. The lot of those signed up for 1 or 2 year hosting plans and those came due around Feburary/March of this year. A large amount of those businesses failed, or the owners went back to work, etc etc, and no longer need their sites.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing here, since no-one seems to be talking about it, but how does the nogil version ensure that changes are made visible to other threads, i.e. what Java calls "safely published"?

As I understand it, a different thread running on a different core could have a cached version of a value which wouldn't necessarily be updated unless some instruction is issued to synchronize with main memory, which in Java is done with volatile or synchronized.

Also, if some optimization is implemented that reorders instructions or eliminates the variable update entirely, that could also prevent the other thread from ever seeing the updated value. This is also solved by using volatile or sychronized in Java.

Is every variable implicitly volatile in nogil Python? Or only object attributes? Or have I completely misunderstood some important aspect?

Edit: I suppose modifying the reference count might cause implicit synchronization similar to the piggybacking technique [1] in Java, making this a non-issue?

‘Disused lavatory’ has been changed to ‘unused lavatory’ and I’m not sure why.

As an American it baffles me that an American editor would change the word disused but not the word lavatory.

One other thing. I’d rather have characters say ‘What do you mean?’ than ‘Whadd’ya mean?’

Again baffling. Whadd'ya mean is an accent, not a word choice. Changing it in text is as ridiculous as writing 50 as "fifdy" when it's an American character's dialogue.

"Woke" is on odd term. It doesn't seem to actually mean anything except whatever the person using it dislikes at that moment. Almost no one refers to themselves as "woke". It seems to be have been adopted by the hard right as a chameleon term of abuse that means anything they want it to mean.

It seems to resemble in use the term "political correctness", just even more so and snappier. It's very useful if you want to denigrate something without an actual discussion of why you're unhappy with it.

No-one cares if you fail and in the absence of unethical behavior, your identity and your company's identity are distinct. As a founder you think the world has its gaze on you and inflict enormous amounts of pressure on yourself. If things aren't going well, it's completely fine. If it's time to kill it, even better. Fail fast, fail often, and take care of yourself so you can run it again.
I think like others have said, it does depend on whether you are targetting the mass market or a smaller (and hopefully more lucrative) niche.

Plenty of companies don't do what you say and still become successful.

However, for a pure software solution with little market expertise, I suspect what you are saying is correct because the barrier is so low. If you can "build an app" in a weekend, so can 1000s of other people.

Believe it or not, weight and balance calculations are not automatic even in the most advanced airliners. The airlines have algorithms they use which spit out numbers that are provided to the pilots, which they enter into the aircraft's computer. These numbers are vitally important, and on one flight I was on we had actually taken the runway but had to taxi back off because Delta was too slow at getting the numbers calculated.
The iPad will work alone, and if you're just starting out it's fine. But it's best to add a tiny MIDI keyboard to the iPad. For extreme compactness, the Korg Nanokey 2 works well for me. It has nontraditional "button" keys, but so does the OP-1.

The iPad's touch screen is usable, but its velocity sensitivity isn't nearly as good as a hardware keyboard.
His argument about digital watches did not age well.

My kids have known how to understand a digital clock since they were toddlers, but even now, in elementary school, they require entire lesson units in school on telling time from a clock face.

Beyond that, he argues that pie charts tell us more about the relationship between things than tables of numbers, and a clock face is "the world's most perfect pie chart." But a clock face is not really a pie chart. It does not indicate distribution among categories, as a pie chart does. The arms are not delimiters; they merely indicate position.
The original Left Alliance was like that, but the current party has very little to do with that heritage. The younger generation started a slow coup in the late 90s and eventually pivoted the party to a completely new direction. In the process, they lost many of their old supporters. The left-wing conservatives who had traditionally voted communists didn't really feel at home in a party of liberal environmentalists.
