To me, the groundbreaking thing about this is the idea of embedding Python in its own custom script tag instead of compiling it to WASM. Maybe other languages have done that before, but I haven't seen it.

That you have to ship the entire interpreter isn't great, but what it means for development is that there is no compilation step. You don't have to deal with the WASM toolchain directly. You write your Python code, refresh the tab, and see the results. That's a huge step up from trying to use Rust and WASM for the majority of people who aren't yet Rust developers.

Obviously it's super immature at this stage, but the future possibilities are exciting.

I'm sure there is a place for no-code tools, but LabView left a very sour taste in my mouth after seeing how much it was abused to do things it was pretty much the worst tool imaginable for.
I haven't smoked in more than 5 years now, so I think I'm good. The cravings never really go away completely, and I'm probably one crisis away from starting again, but my life has been fairly crisis free for a long time now.

If being denied jobs is the main concern it's much more effective to change your legal name to one that is slightly more common vs. try to scrub the internet of information.

If you somehow succeed in regulating google, I as an employer will simply search for your name using Baidu, Yandex, or Naver. Good luck getting all of them to play along with your particular censorship ask.
Wife and I would smoke a cig every time we walked the dog. Neither of us became addicted. I liked the smoke though, so I started vaping. Constant all-day vaping with 5% nicotine for several months.

At some point I decided to attempt to quit, curios if I could do it. I quit the next day for 2 months. I never got an urge - other than "hey I liked that feeling", but nothing strong - and had no withdrawal.

Apparently there's a gene that helps combat nicotine addiction. I don't know if I have it, but it seems like it. Not trying to brag here, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.
Wild theory: perhaps some people for their own reasons don’t like being around people vaping.

I put up with it like I accept that people fart. Being around “vape smoke’ is something between discomfort and disgust (smell, smoke, etcetera), Ugggh. Yes: I have close friends that vape. No: I don’t complain to them or make faces or anything.

Even if I were hypothetically shown it was a purely nonsensical psychological dislike, that doesn’t mean I could stop disliking it.
Which is itself built on the flattened rubble of 4GLs. A couple companies made a go of round-tripping from UML to code, but you know someone was hoping to stop that merry-go-round on the pretty pictures.
The larger BBSes around here eventually turned into ISPs. Others added Usenet and email. There was definitely some overlap in the mid to late 90's, but in general, you are correct: BBSes either went over to the Internet, or disappeared.
Yea, I'm not trawling through what looks like 20 screens and sub-screens. It does look pretty though.
The irony here is that the Juul was spun out of Pax Labs, and THC came first.
Walt Kelly, in the great comic strip Pogo, did quite a lot of this kind of thing, from writing short snippets of dialog (for example, when the French skunk, Mamselle Hepzibah asked the turtle to play "Fly Tough Zee Bumbly Beans" on his lute) to extended songs and poems (for example, the multiple verses of the "Crispness" carol, "Deck Us All With Boston Charlie").

Sometimes the substitutions he made were commentaries on social or political or cultural topics. Sometimes they were just bits of silliness.

I grew up reading the strip from before I went to school. My whole family loved it. I passed the game of "anguish languish" down to my kids, too. On long drives we sometimes took turns inventing mangled verses of familiar songs or poems.

Naturally, Ladle Rat Rotten Hut is an old favorite.
This is where low code is good. It can be a great on ramp to deep coding. FlutterFlow seems to strike a good balance, as you can use the OpenAi codex in writing custom functions.
Reasonable answers, thank you! I wonder how D might address that.
I imagine compiling Python to JS instead of Wasm is a very leaky abstraction. Probably fine for simple stuff, but more complex Python code might not behave exactly as expected
You could start small and block off a certain chunk of time during which you won’t respond. And communicate that to people ahead of time and the reasoning for it. Also set your statutes msg during that period. It could catch on and more people could similarly block off certain periods.
Most of SF's water and power also is under that flight path. PAO should be shut down as it's an environmental disaster and has caused lead poisoning to the surrounding community.
Dude you are so incorrect here, its unbelievable. Why don't you go sit down in the corner before you hurt yourself
I prefer Python over Javascript in almost every way. But python's async is a dumpster fire. It's quite natural in Javascript.

Unfortunately Javascript makes you do almost everything async, no choices. Which makes you think that way. Which is awkward to start with and can lead to a lot of strange corner cases. In python unless you're really trying to squeeze performance out of a system you almost never need async.
I've experienced so many Teams bugs over the past few years that it became a running joke. Didn't keep a list though, but by far the buggiest piece of software I had to use on a daily basis.

Also just... a horrible piece of software? Dealing with multiple organisations was such a pain. When I was using it I never got notifications from the other organisations except by email sometimes many hours later. I'm not sure if it's a missing feature or a bug. Whatever - same effect.

It also liked sometimes randomly and continously consuming bandwidth - I'm not sure if that bug ever got resolved or what it was actually doing.
What bothers me is you are obviously a chinese Shill
Sounds to me as an easy way to let people reinforce their own biases.
There are many paths to addiction for sure. But a medical condition isn't the only path, or even the common one; just making a lot of bad choices can get you there also.

However once they get there, they have little desire to not be there. How can you get someone off drugs if they aren't interested in getting off drugs? And not only that, decriminalization has made it very easy to get drugs and has made your city the go to place in the region if you want to do drugs? Even assuming all of the addicts deserve to be cured, how do you do that without cooperation? We can spend tons of money on them for sure, but it seems just be a pork and jobs program for a few organizations rather than doing anything that is effective.
Yeah, certainly, but I wouldn't really advise using Python in the browser for more complex code yet.
Did Microsoft psyop Python into promoting the shipping of terrible web apps through Universal Windows Platform?

Sorry I don't really post in public. There's plenty of YouTube videos that detail the impact of good studio lighting on a regular webcam.

Logitech StreamCam is one of the better webcams. I have it on a flex stick that I pull down in front of my 32" - I have 3x of those plus a smaller above.

I'd love to upgrade it at one point but there's not really a large number of compact cameras with good optics. I might look into GoPros, but am not really to keen on spending much more as I'm happy with the current results.
I think the "metaverse" might actually be on the mark. It was just that peak metaverse was Farmville.

Nobody wants 4D Farmville though. They're not looking for immersion. They're looking for a minimum effort way to socialize.

FB likely peaked around 2012 (coincidentally around IPO). After that, it was cashing in on the goodwill it had built.

People say it was in decline since the Meta announcement, but I think it was long gone by then. Stock price is a lagging indicator. Meta was a catalyst.
I've never understood the reasoning behind this. Creativity can't be forced. The books and world are a product of GRRM's thoughts and state of mind. If you have someone else write it, or push him to hurry against his desire, the end product just won't be the same. I'd rather get nothing than a book coaxed into existence or written by someone else.

People who live in SF but are trying to decide if they want to drive up to Tahoe on the weekend aren't going to care about trails within 30 minutes of their home since the closest ones are 3 hours away. The author appears not to live in SF, but I assume they live in a city that similarly doesn't have ski resorts locally but does have them within day trip distance and were simply too focused on their personal usecase.
The appropriate way to think of it is as an optimization that you will almost certainly never need. If you do, you'd typically confirm that by profiling your code. And it would merely be one of several other strategies that you could employ to save a bit of memory and cpu. I'm sure there are some niche domains where every ms of performance matters enough that you'd go through a lot of trouble for very marginal gains in performance. But otherwise, this should not be something you'd ever need.

Hi, data engineer here. There are umpteen data engineering tools that have “Data” in the title. Have you considered a different name?
It's more on the assumption that the end users know better what they want themselves.

What does not always happen, but is not rare either.
It’s a great feature. Funnily enough this was a feature of the Grail web browser which actually came out a few months before the first version of Netscape with JavaScript (livescript) support

How are the bots 'neutral'? Why do I have the feeling this is a slang term for "We have sanitized the training data to conform with 2022 values"?
I agree that the bundle size is a big concern. Another aspect that I am worried about is Python’s performance. JavaScript is not a fast language, and Python is an order of magnitude slower. What makes Python shine today rely on packages with native code. I don’t know how many of them can be run flawlessly in the browser without modification.
I agree. I've been using Transcrypt to create React applications using Python. It allows you to take advantage of existing JS libraries and bundlers but still code in Python. I have to say, it has been really nice not having to switch languages between front-end and back-end on a fullstack application.

I did a writeup with a basic how-to a while back:
https://dev.to/jennasys/creating-react-applications-with-pyt...
Let’s say you have reasons to sell your property, but you don’t need all the money right this minute. Maybe interest rates are at like 6.5%, but you’d be willing to carry the contract for 5%. Everybody wins - the buyer gets a better deal than they would get from a traditional lender, they get the house they want, the seller gets the house sold and gets paid out with a rate of return that makes it worthwhile for them. When rates are low, it doesn’t make any sense apart from land contracts (which is a separate discussion) but as rates go up it can be a good solution for everyone.

Maybe you won’t see this in urban markets, but in rural markets it is not uncommon - I did several in the last year and when I talk to other agents in similar markets they report the same.

My point is - lending trends tend to change in order to keep business flowing.
Yuck! Thanks for the warning though!
TLDR: I made a bad design and users did not like it.
Wasm is far from browser-bound; there are many standalone runtimes and they're used for lots of different things, one of the big ones being edge-workers. Here's a collection of runtimes: https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-runtimes
I understand the frustration and I'll try to explain a bit more.

Candidate salaries tend to vary based on country, experience, skillset, etc. People on the platform set their personal salary requirements and it's up to companies to provide a compelling offer.

Astro itself doesn't have a fixed rate card or salary bands. Our concern is that we could unintentionally anchor or band someone's salary. That said, we do see trends in the market and we're happy to provide guidance on what's considered above or below market.

Someone earlier recommended we setup something like a AWS cost estimator, i think that's a great idea, so long as we can figure out a way to do it without undercutting people on the platform.
Arizer for me. My first one lasted more than a decade of daily use. Got a discount on the second. It worries me that the flexible tubing might be Extremely Bad news. A shitton of leachate must come out of the heated plasticizers.

I’ve also heard the occasional bad news about the heated ceramic and wiring in the heaters. OTOH, I don’t seem to be harmed yet, and it’s not like city air isn’t filled with other toxins.

Remember when everything shut down globally, and how clear the air became? And then we went right on back to choking on our own waste.
but would their legal team concur with that interpretation if it embarrasses them in the headlines is the real question. Despite being considered an otherwise odious character, Andrew 'Weev' Auernheimer was prosecuted for essentially doing something that revealed a flaw in a major player while doing nothing illegal.

802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging Design and Evolution: The Architect’s Perspective
The key to having prototypes and PoCs work out okay is to leave some important piece of UX out entirely.

Such an approach gets you the benefits of being able to explore a problem space with code in a quick, sloppy manner, without any risk of anyone actually deploying what you wrote.
I wonder if you could make a virtual battery, that was really just a dummy load that always said the battery was at 100%, so a charger could be used.
I've been the guy who gets called at 4am when postgres takes a dump. I've also been the guy doing the calling (well, not really as a PM, since again, we don't generally have the ability to tell anyone what to do at 4AM, but I digress.)

> Communicating with them goes nowhere since they don't empathize with your point of view.

Can't speak for everyone, but again, I've been on both sides of the table, and I've never seen an example of this. I think it's rare.

> The only form of motivation is threat of existence in the company.

This is so extreme that I feel I must respond just for the sake of other people reading it: if your PM is motivating you via threats, something is very wrong.
> Python's resistance to incorporating a JIT

Python (the spec) is not against a JIT. Only CPython (the interpreter) is, which is a reference implementation. Other implementations such as PyPy use JIT. I guess Jython can also use the JIT features of the underlying JVM.
The point made is that is going to happen regardless, and additionally biases of the search providers are imposed on everyone. Not to mention that the feedback loop of virality will also bias search engines.

The solution put forth by Goggles is to make such biases explicit and transparent, and to make them switchable. No one can honestly claim to be objective if they are using the "MAGA" Goggle. That said, people are particularly good and wearing biased goggles and believing they aren't wearing any goggles at all, or that they are wearing "the one true" goggle.

Anyway, read the white paper, which discusses your point. https://brave.com/static-assets/files/goggles.pdf
Does anyone else remember the Java <applet /> days? It seems like we've come full circle after twenty years.
The Copilot or Google Collab are interesting as they allow to create wast datasets of developer's work sessions, incrementally, line-by-line editing and improving code. Exploiting such datasets have interesting potential. And currently that potential seems to be limited to Microsoft and Google.

It might be a good idea to have something in the open as well. But I agree, this has its disadvantages. Also chances of a small non-profit team coming close to Microsoft/Google's effort are near-zero. The amount of resources and time is incomparable.
Unless docker desktop is installed I have no idea how to deal with the changing IP of WSL which is just painful.
A good PM is worth their weight in gold, but the problem is that the qualifications for a good PM are very hard to make objective. This leads to the role becoming magnet for power-hungry MBAs with a bean counter mentality who will tend to outcompete anyone with real knowledge of UX or engineering unless the company understands the danger of money/power-driven PMs and actively counteracts it by focusing on actual product skills.
Chris Lattner: LLVM/GCC Integration Proposal (2005)
The worst tool imaginable, that you have and know how to use, beats many more suitable tools that you don't have and/or don't know how to use.

I don't like no-code tools. I think they fall into the Evil Wizards category. (Roughly, they trap you into a dungeon that you can't escape or extend.) But they do let people who are not us do things that they could not have done without the tool (or, if they could have, they would have needed us to do it for them). That's powerful.

"They're a bad idea for professional programmers" is very different from "they're a bad idea for everyone". The only gotcha is, the non-programmers need to learn when to stop trying to extend what they've built with the tool, and get the mess re-written by people that can code.

That sounds elitist. (It even sounds rather elitist to me!) But it's really no different than knowing when to take your kid to the ER instead of trying to fix them with your first-aid kit. Some things you can do as an amateur, and that's good. It's empowering! But you need to know when you need more than an amateur.
And then there was rkt around the same time as Docker and thought they would be able to take the mantle when Docker-the-company struggled to make money. The biggest problem with that theory is that it had none of this secret sauce you mention.

When I would point this out I usually got brigaded. Now RedHat owns the company that made rkt and I don't know if it's even being developed anymore. But nobody brings it up so I don't even have to think about it.

It's a real luxury to have friends that will sit down for 4.5 hours to watch Tim Heidecker with you. Best I can do is share Tim's Cooking Tips and hope haha.
I used it a lot more when I wrote more JS. When writing Elixir I just read the docs or go look at source code.
Yes, let's all offer our deepest thoughts and prays to these individuals enduring this terrible imaginary plight.
I don't see much point in going from one dynamic untyped language to another. Javascript and Python offer much of the same advantages and disadvantages, but having to deal with the overhead of running python code seems to just saddle it with tradeoffs for no real benefit. Learning one or the other is fairly easy too.

May as well write Javascript directly, as NPM is not short on packages if that's what you need. I see more value in going from higher level languages like ReScript, Purescript, Melange (Reasonml + Rescript compiler) to Javascript. You have to deal with things like code interop, strictness, overhead of compilation, but you at least gain in safety and succinctness.
They say that Python has good bindings to C extensions, but for C libraries compiled to WebAssembly, someone will probably write some nice JavaScript bindings, so you might as well use JavaScript.

Meanwhile, JavaScript has been extended with so many language features that it's hard to see another scripting language giving people good reasons to switch. In the early days, JavaScript programming was very limiting and alternatives had a chance, but those days are pretty much over and I'd recommend just learning JavaScript.

(I say this as someone who spent more time exploring alternative languages than writing JavaScript by hand. Nowadays it's hard to come up with a good reason to bother.)
If you can find a copy of Computer Music by Charles Dodge and Thomas Jerse, it's a relatively low-math high-practical walkthrough of lots of stuff including filters.
The fact checks are very biased and can't bring themselves to state the known facts without bringing up other unrelated things ("Trump claims he didn't collude with Putin but people who are not Trump were indicted for things that were not colluding with Putin to hack the election"), etc.

Mueller's report does, in fact, say explicitly that they did not find evidence that Trump or anyone in his campaign "colluded" (conspired) to interfere with the election. The report is public you can see that stated plainly.

The "fact" checkers also skirted around the problem that conspiracy theorists from the Clinton campaign and DNC operatives like Schiff knowingly lied and peddled dangerous misinformation to subvert democracy ("ample evidence"). Funny they omitted this relevant detail entirely and yet they thought it was appropriate to go off on tangential topics that were not related to the charges of conspiring to interfere in the election.

All goes to show you can't trust fact checkers just because they call themselves fact checkers.

> I believed (and still do) that there was enough evidence to justify the investigation into Russian interference in the election and what role Trump and his campaign had in that

What evidence? There never was any that wasn't fabricated. When I've asked people this they've been reduced to pointing to Trump's "Russia if you're listening" which was an obvious joke.
I'm aware. I have no respect for that at all. I'd rather many of those people literally get paid to do nothing than generate clickbait. What a sorry state for a profession that allegedly aspires to speak truth to power. In my mind it's like doctors who have sunk to pushing vitamin water supplements on personal-brand style websites.
