A small elite utilizing a governmental structure to control a much larger human population is basically the story of history since the dawn of agriculture and the formation of city-states.

A radical relatively recent notion is that democratic systems of government which allowed the public to elect representatives to the decision-making positions within the government would alter this historical dynamic and would eliminate the concentration of real power in the hands of a small group of elites. This notion hasn't really worked out in the USA as it's rather clear that American politicians today almost universally serve as the equivalents of corporate middle managers within a larger power structure controlled by entities like large banks and hedge funds, industrial conglomerates in energy/tech/pharma/ag/etc, military industrial contractors and affiliated government bureaucracies, and corporate and state propaganda organizations, who funnel wealth up to a tiny minority (quite similar in proportional structure to say, the House of Saud's ~15,000 affiliates relative to the Saudi population of what, ~35 million?)

The alternative approach of communism has merely replaced one set of elites (inherited aristocratic wealth) with another (members of government bureaucracies selected by internal bureaucratic politics, see China for example), where the general population doesn't even have the illusion of being represented in a democratic process. In some cases (Cuba) this has indeed raised the average standard of living for the majority of the population, which is an uncomfortable fact for many, although repression of all dissent tends to be the price for that.

Now, maybe equalizing technology can get us out of this mess to some extent, but it truly dates back to the origins of what we call civilization. Kings and priests weren't really possible until farmers figured out how to grow far more food than they themselves needed; some narcissitic types figured out they could control this excess and use it to set themselves up at the top of the social pyramid (rather literally as in Egypt, Mesoamerica, etc.), and that's continued relatively unchanged right on up to the present day (with some improvements of course, for example the elimination of chattel slavery in most places).

In fact, it has no right - all the pieces of paper they write, don't count! It is really an invention by tyrants, who want to you to think your voting is doing something. And you do!
Ask HN: Is there a Modern Python by Katas site?
I have used Python in the past (around the 2->3 transition) and I'm interested in refreshing/modernizing. I like to go through ~kata sites like:

https://codingbat.com/python
https://jskatas.org/katas/

I'm looking for something more like the jskatas but for Python with syntax introduced in newer PEPs? Is something like this available or can someone recommend something they find similar from the Python world, like some jupyter notebooks?

Thanks

Agreed. One has to cycle the fasting / exercising / rebuilding. Each trainer and nutritionist appear to have their own preferences to maximize this effect but they also have many confounding treatments and are usually already quite healthy.

I would suggest researching this more on the PubMed nih.gov site as they get into a little more details and usually have decent controls in place in some of the studies. Their search function is awful so I suggest using the following on google to get better results:

Corporations cannot put me in jail. Corporations cannot (for the most part) just take my money. Other than denying me service, corporations have little power over me, except that which is granted to them by the government itself.

Government tracking has the potential to be much worse than corporate tracking.

You're right the QR code doesn't change - neither does the mobile pass! You just have to generate the mobile pass once and never visit my silly website again.
Thanks for sharing this. Ive been living in a tiny 350 sqft apartment in palo alto for the entire pandemic alone after a long term relationship (15 years).

I spoke with Coinbase at a time where I was trying to get away from a job where I worked 70-100 hour weeks. I would always tell recruiters I was seeking better WLB as I didn’t want a company that would have a problem with that attitude. I was told by multiple people that late nights should be expected and Coinbase was not a 40 hour per week company. Further - there are 4 weeks a year where the company shuts down and everyone is “encouraged” to take their vacation during those times. Personally I like to select the weeks that I am off work. The comp was good but I ended up at Google making the same money with great WLB. My equity has been hit far less hard by recent market turmoil as well. Can’t even imagine getting a 6 figure equity package and having it devalue 70% and then grinding long hours.

Careful, many countries (especially in the EU) look “through” the trust if there is only the slightest notion of you controlling it.

Generally, in order for the trust to be fully recognized all assets have to be irrevocably owned by the trust and you can’t exercise any control over them as soon as they are transferred.
And for short, perhaps "dusting".
The software was still better. You're right that we have better, easier and cheaper access to the music we want, but that's unrelated to the software we use to play the music or manage the playlist.

You can still buy music on Apple Music, it's not copy protected if I recall correctly, then play it back in WinAmp. That would currently be the best experience from both eras.
The people in government (and/or lobbyists and special interest groups controlling them) absolutely do not "have your best interests a heart".

I'm way less concerned about someone who just wants to sell me more than about the government. It's trivial for me to not buy a new package of sugar-snacks no matter how much they advertise it, whereas governmental actions can ruin my life.
But different jurisdictions have different rules? For instance, are you OK with a country that outlaws homosexual acts firing hundreds of subpoenas at a company to be able to target its gay users? CSAM is also a wide spectrum offense, with many jurisdictions now banning cartoon images, CG images and pictures of dolls.

I'm not for total chaos. It's just that the world is a very complicated place.

Whether that is a consequence of it becoming harder, or by design is the important question. I can think of a few reasons an uninformed or misinformed general public would benefit some people.

Financial calculations need to be done with fixed-point, not floating-point, arithmetic. Floating-point can't store the exact value of most fractional numbers, and especially over many transactions for many customers the floating-point errors will accumulate.

You need basic addition and subtraction to always be exact (e.g. $15.27 + $91.31 needs to come out as $106.58, not $106.5799999999999999999998), and for operations that may have remainders beyond your desired number of digit precision, you need deterministic rounding or other rules to handle it.

It's well-defined, it's just more flexible than Java. The difference is that returning a value moves it, and resources are owned by the creating scope by default. Java doesn't have the same concept of ownership, or rather, you can't move values in Java.

> My view is, accurate information should be the basis of all decision making, and the only way humans have found to come up with accurate information (about things like risks of global warming, causes of disease, etc.) is the rational scientific process, so that's what we should be spending our time and energy on developing, more than anything else.

While I agree in the importance of the scientific process, I disagree with the rationale. Accurate information should be the basis of decision making, but it can't make the decision. Deciding requires values, requires knowing "what is good". Science can tell us exactly where we are and how we got here, but it can't tell us why we're here. Science can tell us the range of outcomes if we do or do not stop carbon emissions, but it can't tell us whether or not we should. That's a moral decision.

And that's why (in my value system) it's important to have some people devoting themselves to the creation of art, literature, music, architecture, etc. By exploring the ranges of human emotion, and by learning how we emotionally respond to various tragic, comedic, or romantic scenarios, we can better understand our own values on which to found our decision making. Informed, of course, by scientifically accurate information.
Don't large companies have whole departments dedicated to minimizing churn rate? At the last big company I worked at, they were called "business development" or "BizDev". Or is that slightly different from manual onboarding? I remember their solutions tended to be automated.
Soft float was only available if your application was compiled with it, and dog slow in any case.

Fixed point was still common: Take an int and pretend the first X bits are after the point. You have to choose X wisely, so you have enough bits available both before and after the dot. This at a time when 16 bits was the common int size.

Yeah, my goal is to expand to add more verticals in the same rough neighborhood of exploration and discovery.

At least in the intermediate term, I don't think it's possible to create an "everything"-offering like Google's. I also don't know if that is desirable either, at least not if the goal is to encourage a sense of agency on the Internet.
Same reasons some folks in US have US-first mentality.

On top of obvious reason everybody knows damn too well - any US 3-letter agency doesn't give a nanofraction of a f*k about privacy and will use any data to gain any advantage, and specifically treats non US-citizens as subhumans when it comes to several human rights. Geolocation is only theoretical guarantee when stakes are so high.

Some are OK with that, some are not.
The difference is that russian state owned propaganda is actively and intentionally trying to hurt western society. If there are two ways to do something and one way will do more damage then it will be done that way.

> By comparison, the standard library reaches 58/128/117 MB/s on the same CPU, so we have managed a 9-19x speedup depending on the type of numbers.

That's pretty disingenuous. The standard implementation is known to be terribly slow because of constraints. They should compare against current state of the art.
> If I choose to "like" a song, why is it not automatically saved to the so-called "library".

I like that likes and add to library are distinct as they serve two very different purposes for me, but I would really like to have a "liked" playlist.

Other annoyances (on macOS): search in apple music vs library, the search box is on one end, the scope selector is on the other. Toggling it requires re-searching. It also gets covered by the right pane. "hey I'm actually searching" feedback is terrible, many parts are ungodly slow for no reason.

Oh and that search box has awful behaviour regarding focus, click, start typing, and somehow it gets focused only a second later, missing input and/or not clearing what's in there, or restoring the previous content. It seems to have about a thousand subtle failure modes that keep getting in the way extremely annoyingly.

Sadly (personal pov/use case) Apple Music is the "best" (== less worst) app/service out there, from the mobile UI to library management, tag editor, and BYOM+streaming.

Tangent: after some time peaking and being actually good, all these music apps/streaming services have become so annoying that I'm progressively rebuilding my library (including all the non-owned discoveries I made) as flat files served by Jellyfin, which will probably take me years but ultimately I'll be able to drop the increasingly crappy app+service verticals in favour of owned music + radio for discovery (there are a couple of great curated radios around here, and a few zines made out of thin slices of dead trees)

Some shorter/smaller games:

A Short Hike (haven’t played it but heard great things)

Signs of the Sojourner: A brilliant game about going on bus trips to trade and collect merchandise for a local store, but the core gameplay is conversation represented by collectible cards. The catch is that you can only carry a limited number of them, and the change in your deck over time represents the way leaving home for the first time changes a person… perhaps so much that when they return, they can’t relate to their old friends anymore.
Ace Attorney. You go through witness testimony and identify contradictions between their statements and the evidence. The stories are nuts and get a bit more nuts every game.

In euroland bills start at 5 euro, below it is all coins. So when paying cash you get a lot of 1 or 2 euro coins as change.

I change those coins into 5 euro bills whenever possible, stores always want change. Small coins go into a big jar that we use to tip people like the pizza delivery guy.

If the jar gets too full I simply donate the jar as is to a charity I know.
I don't, turns out transit works fine (actually much better) without it.

If this were the case, the air would not keep increasing relative to bag size. Leaving all that aside, the crisps I bought as a child came in bags with nowhere near this amount of "required" extra space.

What platform (linux/mac/windows) are you on, and which apps do you use to manage/consume it? Do you use a streamer (like plex, jellyfin, etc) or do you load your whole collection on every device?

The worst part is that Coinbase's interviews are difficult. If I'd spent months studying, rejecting other (good faith) offers, and then had this happen I'd not only be in a bad spot (without a job entering a recession) but I'd be furious at the inequality of input and output.

I've been interviewing for the past month and I made a rule that I won't be doing any algorithm interviews. I didn't have time to study; some friends questioned whether this was a good idea or not. I ended up submitting code samples when recruiters or managers would try to go through that kind of phone screening. Not only am I interviewing at better quality firms, but it's not nearly as stressful.

Anecdotally there is a high correlation between firms that tell me they're freezing hiring, etc and algorithm interviews.
There's the opposite end of game mechanics in Visual Novel games.

I know having a great story was a condition but I would also recommend shallower stories in rhythm based games for playing with your kids or alone.

Once the mechanics are learned, you can indulge in a similar feeling of accomplishment as with those fun trick shots in fps games.

There's OSU!, Arcaea, Rhythm Heaven and a recent one that has a story that became really popular is Friday Night Funkin and associated mods.

There are classics like portal 1 and 2 for depth in story, but I don't see many puzzle games with strong stories.

Real time strategy like age of empires or mythology are violent but can be considered somewhat educational because it's based on history/myth.

And the following games are shooters but the story is so deep that it doesn't feel unreasonable, the Bioshock series and Control.
at this point there’s so much investment and attention dedicated to it that it will be willed into continued relevancy as much as anything happening organicly
Not having played with SIMD much myself, does leveraging these instructions for an intensive operation like a sort push other workloads out of the CPU more aggressively than operating on 32 or 64 bits at a time would?

In other words, do you have to be more careful when integrating these wide operators to preserve some resources for other operations?
Mining can be an investment, if you can stomach the volatility and have a plan to mitigate the risk. But buying a currency with the mere hope that it will go up is just speculation, pure and simple.
