How much memory do you have?

I’ve definitely seen this a lot on my 8GB MacBook Air and it coincides with running out of memory. Open Activity Monitor and see if your machine is under memory pressure.

The comment on IPFS is a bit idealistic.

> There is no single service that can go down [...]

> Each piece of content is loaded entirely independently, [...]

Both of these statements can be true, but in fact, what ends up happening is someone puts their site on a pinning service like Piñata or Infura, and then it's right back to being centralized and trackable. Filecoin helps decentralize who pins, but even then, one ends up using a pretty interface like web3.storage since using the real service is just too much overhead for just pushing a page.

I'm personally a big fan of IPFS, but I'd use it to make an entire site reliable for users who care to self-pin.
Ill take the ozzy off your hands.

Thats history.
Let's not forget the nobody in the crypto industry cares about using cryptography for good, all they care about selling to greater fools. Web3 is a front, it is something that can be anything, but it's definitely the future, so keep buying our useless, totally not manipulated digital currency. Trust us that you don't have to trust us. It's called blockchain technology stupid, it's completely trustless. I couldn't lie to you if I wanted to, the technology is just that good.

David Chaum should realize that using cryptography for good is not compatible with Ponzi schemes and most forms of gambling. This is not how you change the world.
Ory suite looks amazing. I think the biggest things I'm missing are token authentication and with that, services tokens. I saw a thread saying it'll be implemented at some point and I'm looking forward!

The US Digital Service posts in pretty much every hiring thread, because many folks who work for USDS are on a temporary “tour” that only lasts a year or two.

Download offline maps in the Google Maps app without signing in
Pick a city completely at random. Click on the city name. Pull up the card to consume the full screen. Only then will three dots will show up in top right. In that menu you can download offline map without signing in. To manage your offline maps download a second region at random. While downloading you will notice the download in your Android notification drawer. Click on the download and cancel it. You can manage your other downloaded regions from here. There is no other way to access this menu unless you are signed in. However, with my method you don't need to sign in to the maps app ever. Thank you to whoever built the app without explicitly requiring Google Play services as well. I owe you a drink.
There are classes of problems for which greedy algorithms are known to provide optimal solutions. An example is maximum matching on bipartite graphs. This is related to combinatorial structures called matroids (and an extension called greedoids.)

Its good for devices that stopped receiving iOS security updates, or for doing weird things that you can't do with iOS, like using your iPhone as a USB keyboard for your desktop using Linux's USB gadget support.
Yeah, it would actually be a useful computer.
Get rid of all the apps where you consume content, except for maybe an eBook reading app. Reading books is still good.

Fill your devices only with apps that allow you to create content. Don't even worry about sharing the content. Just get apps that let you create. Photography, video, code, drawing, writing, music, whatever.
The process won't change until a new Google/Facebook/Amazon arrives on the scene that doesn't use leetcode. Then everyone will cargo cult whatever process they use.

"you’re skewing the data with somebody’s ability to prepare for the interview"

And I love it, and use it to my advantage. It's so much easier to prepare for a round of interviews, than it is to actually be good at your job. So this flaw makes it much easier to pass interviews, if you know its there.

...and believe me, I've used it :)
Wow! That’s disappointing, I never had issues updating the OS either but now I’m worried since rolling back is so painful.

Extremely disappointing that a machine with decent hardware gets sanctioned to be trash when it’s still useful to do 95% of daily activities. This stuff needs to be enshrined in law…

"Fail different"
Yes, I was explicitly referring to HTTP1/1. With HTTP2, connection multiplexing is baked into the HTTP/2 protocol. But again, whether or not this speeds things is hard to tell without knowing all relevant parameters. There is a reason HTTP/3 uses QUIC over UDP, the main motivation was to put the userspace (i.e. browser) more in control over congestion control and such things (while TCP is always kernel-implementation dependent). And I think we will see lot of different implementations and innovations in this field (just as there is a ton of different TCP congestion window scaling algorithms).
I use it and Decentral Eyes and uBlock Origin but it does get tiring how often these extensions break critical functionality on websites.

Especially when I don’t discover the problem until I’m half way into a multipart form submission that can’t be refreshed, or an e-commerce transaction fails because it rapidly hands off between multiple third-party servers and one of them in the middle of the chain had some critical JavaScript path blocked.

I still do it but it is a pain.
Children are agents. And children / adults aren't a binary thing, they progress along a spectrum and if we never give them the ability to make their own choices how on earth do we expect them to be independent adults?

Why do we need non-conformists? I don't care about what you need or what society needs. You lack compassion for the individual.

How much of that GDP is actually accessible to western companies?

If you’re a tech company, you’re not selling for China too long before they cut you out. India will require you to partner 49% with a local company. And Russia is increasingly isolated.

And the UK will throw a few tantrums as Boris Johnson needs to somehow show that not being part of the EU has some impact, even if it’s negative (wanting to switch from metric to imperial, lol…industry and retailers in the UK, many ardent Brexit supporters, are publicly complaining), to distract from his personal illegalities, but end of the day they will either join the single market and follow EU commercial rules anyways, or find that they are imposed on them because no one is manufacturing UK specific products.
Is there a setting or extension that just uses the closest available system font and blocks the remote API?

Honestly, the article feels confused, using the terms “higgs particle” and “higgs mode” interchangeably.

I suspect that significant losses happened in translation to layman-speak, and if you grant such losses may have occurred, “this is new evidence that there may be an axial higgs particle, given that we can make an axial higgs-by-analogy in our fancy superconducting material” feels like more likely source material than “we found the holy grail: direct evidence of another higgs, without needing an lhc to do it”.

I could be wrong, but the physics version of a biology headline missing the words “…in mice” is “…in condensed matter”.

Seems like the article could be written better.

"But there was a 34 percent drop in reports of minor offenses in the STAR precincts, from an average of about 84 offenses per month in each district to an average of about 56 citations"

The STAR workers don't give out citations. Comparing pre and post STAR citation numbers is meaningless. You would have to compare something like 911 calls to actually compare reports of crime.

The later comparison of a reduction of 1000 expected citations vs 1400 actual reduction is a little better. I'm still not convinced citations are the best metric as you would have to look into the reasons the citations were given. There are also encounters where police may not give a citation either. This isn't an argument against the program, just a suggestion that the metrics could be better, as well as the article's explainations.
Page 4, Part 1.1 from https://www.vdi.de/fileadmin/pages/mein_vdi/redakteure/publi... :

Folgen ihrer beruflichen Arbeit sowie für die sorgfältige Wahrnehmung ihrer spezifischen Pflichten, die ihnen aufgrund ihrer Kompetenz und ihres Sachverstandes zukommen

Translated with Google translate:

> Engineers are solely or – in the case of collaborative work – jointly responsible for the
Consequences of their professional work as well as for the physical performance of their specific duties, which are due to them due to their competence and their expertise

Carrying this responsibility is a (indirekt) requirement for being legally able to call yourself engineer here.

Production studios could stop making a deal with "the devil", and instead ask directly for funding for a good project. Many great content creators are working on crowdfunding basis already. If people want to support good projects, they can do that. If not enough people support it, I guess that means, that not enough people were interested in that particular project. People could also have subscriptions to support creators regularly. I myself do that for several projects.

I would like to see a cultural shift away from the idea, that one must go through some middleman to make and publish anything, towards the idea, that if you have a great project and you put yourself out there and people believe in your idea, they will support you and all of society reaps the benefits. We would become more a society of choice and self-informing, than a society of maximized consumption.

At the same time, I think in many areas there is still a long way to go, to achieve that cultural shift.
The main difference is that Pyston-Lite is a CPython plugin, while MyPyC is an AOT compiler that emits CPython extension modules.

But if you're asking about performance and use cases, there are a lot of Python compilers and alternative implementations out there now!

Not just MyPyC, but also Nuitka, Shedskin (not sure if still in development), GraalPython, PyPy, Cinder, Pyjion, IronPython (not sure if still in development), and even Stackless Python (yes it's still in develoment). Not to mention Cython and, for specific numerical tasks, Numba.

I think Microsoft also recently announced a CPython JIT extension that's analogous to Pyston-Lite.

A benchmark or comprehensive comparison suite would be pretty cool, but I'm not aware of one. Personally I think CPython plugins are the most user-friendly option, because they require the fewest changes in your deployment setup and runtime environment. PyPy isn't that bad but isn't perfect either. Whereas ahead-of-time compilation is a pretty big change from the usual Python developer workflow and might not be easy to convince a team to adopt it.

A lot of comments theorize about what characteristic - for the most part other than coding skill - these kinds of interviews select for. Mostly it's to justify their use. OK, then: is there any evidence that this style of interview effectively or efficiently selects for any particular characteristic that matters? If these companies were really as data driven as they all claim to be, they'd rigorously analyze predictors of success (whatever that means) within the system they've built, and then design an interview process that can rationally be expected to select for those characteristics. Having worked at one, interviewed at another, and heard lots of stories about the rest, I don't get the impression that any of them have actually done that.
Is it?

If you don't abstract away the fundamentals, doesn't that mean you have to understand the internals of everything?

That would be quite a lot! (physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc.)

I would contend that 99.99% of everything we deal with (if you visually look around your surroundings) is "abstracted away". Perhaps, for software engineers, this is only 99% when it comes to software.

Let's not be naiive here. The courts and the government are not totally disconnected. Everyone has at some point observed court rulings that they thought to have been impacted by political discourse. Instead of indulging myself into a loquacious sesquipedalian treatise on the nature of ethics and origin of judicial and political systems, I will, paraphrasing Hemingway, let go of my dick and just tell you what is there. The system is man-made and man controls every aspect of it. It is corrupt and everything is connected. This is obvious to anyone willing to step away from their ivory tower and just apply common sense.

I believe that last paragraph to be an observation that is obvious to most people.

There were some political prisoners, but much in the same way we imprisoned some British after the revolutionary war and later confederates. Also, someone being convinced of something without committing a crime is a non sequitur. Countries can make whatever laws they want.

I get where you're coming from, until I started studying Russian history I had the same view, I grew up with the same Cold War info like everyone else, but comparing that to the Spanish conquest of the Americas is night and day.

I get a feeling this is one of the reasons why the world of programming is such a shitshow.

There isn't a proper distinction between the mechanical engineer vs car mechanic equivalent. Everyone and their mom is a "software engineer", regardless of just tinkering / doing the car mechanic equivalent or being one of the maybe sub-1% of people out there that does anything similar to engineering (aka validating their designs with scientific knowledge and industry/legislation requirements).

The discipline is in its infancy, so there's a hotpot of needs that are being mixed all together.

I know it’s a jokey example but it has insight.

First, it’s probably illegal in the USA due to ADA unless you could show that it tested something physically related to the job. Example: a big company is required to make accommodation for a, say, qualified analyst who is blind, but can reject a blind candidate for a job that required driving.

'blockchains' (the ecosystems generally, not the datastructure specifically which wasn't the innovative part) solve the problem of arbitrary, mutually unknown individuals making transactions about things of value. They're pretty much the only way we know to solve that problem.

Of course, humans have been around a long time and had to manage before the bitcoin white paper, so most problems where the best solution involved arbitrary, mutually unknown individuals making transactions about things of value have either been ignored and are considered 'not that important' or have been solved 'better' through the creation of trusted third parties (which doesn't solve the problem for truly arbitrary participants, just moves it), or just forcing the risk onto others who previously had no choice but to accept it. This point of view is mainly just because society has had thousands of years being built around a constraint that the publication of the bitcoin whitepaper removed, and it takes a certain amount of imagination to see the possibilities.

When you think about blockchains, you should be imagining what they enable: nonpermissioned (so even foreigners in war zones, or the homeless can take part), access to an international network that allows cross-party transactions dealing in hetrogenous kinds of goods. The network is by default API enabled and compatible (so I can write a smart contract that uses other smart contracts). It uses modern cryptography (unlike many Banks). Because it allows transactions across organisations and assets, things like flash loans where a loan can be made at zero risk to the lender (because the capital must be returned in the same transaction) are possible, something that is entirely impossible in traditional finance. They enable immediate transactional settlement, which is also hard in traditional finance (how do we swap something so that at no point one party has to take on the risk of the other party not delivering?). They enable groups of people that don't know each other to pool their money. This was impossible in the past without a trusted governing body that would incur costs and therefore need to take a cut.

In finance, the main strategy up to now has been to register a corporation with multiple governments, spend lots of money on large marble buildings and conservative (i.e. non-innovative) smartly dressed staff for hundreds of years in order to give a sense of solidity and trustworthiness. Sure, it works, but that's what's really inefficient.
