It’s not as much my code as reading my dependencies, troubleshooting others’ code, and the ecosystem sprawl. I keep up to date and pick and choose what I want.

A lot of these issues just aren’t there in C++, and you probably wouldn’t even try to share a codebase for something with someone who’s not another expert. …and you’re most likely working on something big.

The big thing that’s plagued Python since 3.x is the distribution problem. You can’t just hand someone a script and maybe another one to user-install some requirements. You need to BYO Python, dependencies, etc.

Things like types, library management, etc. are being handled by external tools. If I want to onboard someone to collaborate with me they really have to have my version of Python (so probably pyenv), Pipenv or Poetry, mypy or whatever, pytest or whatever, black, and have the same config for some of them.

The verbosity overhead of Go (or Nim, etc.) is worth the trade off to me for most of my uses of Python. I can just hand someone a binary and the dev just needs the language installed and maybe like goimports.

I’ve never been married to one language. I like to use them for their wheelhouse. I’ll still use Python for 1-offs or some things I can ship in a container, etc. that I’m only working by myself or with experienced Python people on.

A lot of this is that it’s really turning into more of an Analytics language. The output isn’t expected to be shared and everyone around you is a Python dev.

And I’m old. I started when Python was so pretty to my Pascal/C self compared to PERL (shudder). The documentation is still amazing for the language and standard library. (No Google, I want the actual docs.) And you could onboard almost anyone to work on it if they had any programming background because it was such a simple language.

The 2->3 shift was really only bad for complex legacy codebases and when you primarily deal with bytes vs Unicode. The latter is really painful anywhere. It didn’t bother me much. I usually just had to fix a few small things or it gave me a good excuse to kill something that should have been retired anyway.
Starting off as the author:

- Finding a niche that is 'me' enough to invest a lot of time into
- Generating initial traction without any s existing audience
- Taking the courage to take off the golden handcuffs
Exactly - seems the safest way is to explicitly block known bots by user agent from even reaching pages you don't want indexed.
Anyone paying for the firehose access can do this.
A div's name is equivalent to a pointer to a widget in a GUI library. HTML isn't some special sauce, we've known how to do GUI in C/C++ for a long time.
Are there any promising search algorithms/crawlers out there? Obviously one of Google's advantage is the size of their index, but I would like (and probably pay) for a search engine that was as good as Google used to be, but only indexed a small portion of the internet that interests me. Maybe a business model of accepting payment to index certain domains could work.
Yes it does. They have specific material concerns and concerns about their working conditions that aren't being addressed.

We're returning to the 19th century it seems with worker protections being eroded. It makes sense that Unionization would make a comeback.
Many people who are overweight, do not want to be overweight and have tried everything they can to lose weight. IMO, "eat less and exercise" is great advice, but it depends on a very specific set of preconditions to work.

Mental health, affordable and easy access to nutritious and non-poisonous food (such as, vegetables that actually contain the micro-nutrients needed to survive, food that is free from mix-ins that contain your intolerances or allergies, or food that's not been over-processed to oblivion), having time to cook, access to sunlight and a number of other factors all help with getting into shape. If you're unlucky enough to be missing some of them, your journey will be that much harder.

So yes, there is personal responsibility there. But it helps if the odds aren't stacked against you before you begin.
1 - 2 weeks would only be convenient if I was going on holiday so as not to take the charger.

In normal use 1 - 2 weeks would mean that I’d either get pestered by low battery notifications at the end of the period or forget to charge it semi-regularly.

Nightly charging is no hassle, same as my phone.
Not only my source, but me as well. I think it's plausible that e.g. keto (as in actually entering ketosis) could raise mortality but low carb diets could lower it, or that there's a confounding effect with dietary fibre, or that low carb diets usually involve increased processed meat intake, or [insert story here].

However, we're talking about general health advice. If you tell people to eat low carb diets, they eat less dietary fibre as a result, and some of them die, then your advice has killed them. Doesn't matter if there's some hypothetical better diet out there, until you've found it and proven it works.
>In the western world the default is a high-carb diet.

It's like this everywhere in the world. You know rice is mostly carbs, right?
I remember being at a college computer lab and watching someone trying to use the mouse on the Mac while holding it suspended in air. It made Scotty's mouse moment in Star Trek IV completely understandable.
You aren't supposed to use a tool made for Google level complexity unless you work with such complexity in the first place.

> If union organizers repeatedly approach me is that harassment then as well or even more likely to be harassment?

no because those organizers aren't harassing you, they're fighting for truth and justice, so are not held to such petty standards like respecting the law /s
Python had some sandboxing attempts long time ago, like 20 years if not more, but without much success. Zope - one of the first web frameworks - needed one, but if I remember correctly it broke around Python 2.5, so you had to use Zope with an old version of Python.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/SandboxedPython has some details
They're more hobbit-sized I guess.
Yes, I more accurately moved form "normal diet" including beer, processed food and fast carbs to eating much more vegetables with oil and spices rather than sauce. I don't like the "looks like meat" vegetarian stuff.

But the major effects for me seems to be coupled to activity rather than eating, although cutting animal fat and alcohol has been a good help on the way.

My major findings:
- reduce alcohol and animal fat
- start soft, walk until you are fit to run, then interval
- walking is great for problem solving
- running uphill and walking downhill is great if the knees hurt
- interval really is much more efficient than running long distances for pretty much any meaningful measure of progress for me (weight, VO2 max). I'm not trying to win at anything specific.
> the calling overhead from WASM to JS (and back)

This is what I meant: is it still necessary to go through JS, or do we now get low level access to DOM directly through WASM? I guess we don't.
In the US I believe there is no direct dealing, though I may be mistaken. Not sure about Canada. Presumably unions work differently (and likely better) in your country.
Yes, feel free to push hard packing things for Bezos, I'm sure you'll be treated well with an extra minute to go to the toilet or 100 amzn-bucks bonus

Just make sure you don't underperform for any important length of time, either by fatigue, injury or any other reason.
Good one.

Now explain why unionized European programmers don't get paid nearly the same as un-unionized American ones. Is it because of fascism or something?
As reasonable as the neighborhood strongman saying "of course you have the right to reject my proposal..."
I think the effect of the moon is not so much "catching" things as it is perturbing orbits near earth such that things either crash into earth or moon or get flung away.

Without the moon we might have a lot more stuff in solar orbits that overlap earths orbit.

I expect this could be explained better (and I may well be totally wrong).
Also: the Internet Archive's crawler (Heritrix) implements link extractors for HTML, XML, CSS, JS, PDF, Word document, and even Shockwave Flash.

A script is included for running the extractors from the command line: https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3/blob/master/dis...
Almost all of them.
A good example is Dropbox link you send to someone. I could generate this link to a private file in my Dropbox, email it you, and Bing (may) index it.

I doubt many people realise this when they email "private" links...
Can you explain why you skipped over these?

> management has worked to isolate pro-union workers and threatened to relocate the warehouses if unionization succeeds.

> One worker said his life has become miserable since he uttered the word “union” at work. “Every coworker who talks to me, after a few seconds, they are interrogated by the manager. When they do that, people don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m being isolated,” he said.
Every Amazon warehouse that unionizes make it less possible to close a given warehouse to snuff out a budding union.

Amazon is spending millions on union-busting lawyers. From the article, workers had to go to mandatory anti-union classes, which is pretty funny coming from a company where you could get written up for "time off task" by taking a bathroom break.

The propaganda the company is pushing is that the company and the workers are working together. They are not. Those workers are being exploited. Bezos considered turnover desirable.
.. and they have the highest impact when you are starting to learn a language.

Many a student turns away from a language because the developers underestimate the importance of error messages.
Oats don't contain gluten (Celiac disease), though they can have trace amounts if processed on the same equipment as wheat. That's the difference between regular oats and gluten-free oats.
The employer owes you nothing. You're citing your difficult circimstances to justify getting the government to seize control of an employer from its shareholders, in dictating its hiring decisions.

But as a practical matter, opportunities expand faster when labor markets are free, and capital owners are secure in their rights.

Employment growth has been widely observed to be stronger where labor laws are less restrictive.

Detroit was the richest city in America in 1950. Within 40 years of the UAW Union taking over the Big Three automakers (membership rose through the 50s and 60s, peaking in 1979), the big automakers have lost their market dominance, and Detroit is a shell of its former self.
At the end of the day people were doing {**a, **b} or dict(d1.items() | d2.items()) (which is subtly different in that set order is arbitrary so which "wins" in the duplicate key case is arbitrary) in the wild, so I think supporting a natural dict-level union is the better option, even if it can't be all things to all people.

none of that requires AI
While you are right that in theory a C or C++ compiler is free to do anything when Undefined Behavior is specified in the standard, any careful programmer should always compile all C/C++ programs with options like "-fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error".

This guarantees that null pointers or out-of-bounds array accesses will crash the program.
Personally, I am against abortion.

But even then, up to 12 weeks, no questions asked, 12 - 18 weeks under very specific circumstances (incest, rape and such) and afterwards pretty much limited to if the mothers life is at risk (altough, preferably a C-section or something similar) seems like a good compromise.

The repeal of RvW allows states to implement no questions asked abortions for up to birth, along with allowing states to ban it altogether, rather than the previous state of the law.
The two things thing that gets me are:

1. Latch up states. It's very very easy for something to go wrong and blow a whole deployment up and lose all the pods for example a health check failure. Most application frameworks have some sort of request queuing and the health checks sit in the same queue so any upstream issues and you get health check failures and flapping. Of course the autoscaler goes fucking bonkers in the middle of that. The only thing you can do is drop traffic at the network edge and wait for it to get itself together.

2. No one knows how to fix it if anything major goes wrong. Even cloud providers. It's so large and complicated that no one has enough knowledge independently to actually fix it. For example I suffered from months of weird network issues where pods would come up without network. No one to this day know why that happened and could explain it. No amount of debugging and reverse engineering even resulted in a single step forward, resulting in the only outcome being "replace the whole cluster".

Don't get me wrong, I still like it but I wouldn't want to run it with little expertise at hand. It's not something I would trust someone to run without production experience, which is difficult because there are very few people out there who are battle hardened past trivial home deployments and tiny little stacks.
What else would it be? Excel is a programming language. Using it is using a programming language. Am I missing something?

My dad was a huge fan of Sony’s Watchman series of portable TVs. He had 2 or 3 different models. In the 1990s, I would steal them when I’d go on school trips in elementary school so I wouldn’t miss my TV shows. The limitation of antenna stuff made it less than ideal in a moving vehicle, but being able to watch Melrose Place on a bus in third grade instead of Homeward Bound or The Sandlot was pretty dope.

Which is all to say, very young filmgirl would have loved this shit.

It is not only k8s tool unfortunately. Helm and argocd also exposes YAML api. I am not against YAML in general btw, it’s just a variety of tools’ specific yaml formats one mixes and have to learn every time that makes one’s life difficult
Is there anyone willing to do a TLDR? Currently having a sugar low and nothing of this complexity can be digested..
Thanks for sharing. That's why I was careful to label it as personal anecdata. I don't want to assume it works for everyone. But I believe losing weight is a good first step/test if you want to avoid taking meds.
> ”the birds will surely learn to ignore it”

Why so sure? Did you read the papers and have any reasoning to why they will adapt?
Some things are invented and others are discovered. Frameworks are invented, while the concept of lenses is something you could discover on your own.

I can't help but believe that the things that are discovered are somehow more important than the ones which are invented. Discovered things are timeless while invented things are fleeting.
So if I'm not using a cloud provider but just have a k8s cluster on a small vps with a public ip i just need the nginx ingress controller?
What if i want https? Is there a way to automatically enable let's encrypt for different services and domains/subdomains?
“Freedom.” is usually the stated reason.

Some people feel that they’ll do better negotiating with a multi billion dollar company. Others are unable to think ahead/strategically and focus on the 3% fee or whatever.

When you’re working for a company that manages you as tightly as Amazon does, it ridiculous to not have a union, if only for having some recourse with respect to work rules. My wife works for a local government where a bunch of the guys made a big show out of opting out of the union, they regretted that when a new administration came in and started targeting them for petty rule violations - eventually they were all forced out and replaced by cheaper people.
By definition all outbreaks will be bigger than CDC reports because the cost of testing is not zero.

Plessy v. Ferguson explicitly upheld the separate, but equal doctrine underpinning many of the Jim Crow laws. Why would you not want that repealed, even if it has largely been gutted by Brown, Civil/Voting Rights Act, etc.?
I look after a lot of k8s professionally (hundreds of clusters), and the only issues I've had in the last few years were a istio/pilotd bug and a bit of pain moving from e.g v1beta1->v1 during normal upgrades.

Everything else that's gone wrong with these environments was cloud/hw related, or app stuff.

Guess it depends on where your competencies are.
A cynical view might be those posters are there to stop you seeing and interacting with your fellow co-workers through what would normally be a transparent divider while a vote is imminent.

Blood pressure can be elevated by so many things. In the OP's case it seems it was excess body fat. In some it is sodium sensitivity.

In my case it was potassium malabsorption. Ate tons of high potassium foods but my blood levels were low. Never got that figured out, but potassium chloride (salt substitute) daily raised my potassium levels to normal and my BP fell to normal.
Yeah, Jupiter is basically a giant hoover of the solar system - apparently without it Earth would be constantly getting hit by outer space junk.
I think the utility of religious systems can be determined by looking at the reason for their continuity:
Abrahamic faiths tended to continue via wars and forced conversions. Dharmic religions such as Buddhism tended to continue because adherents saw such immense value in the teachings that they spread them even despite resistance from authorities.
They have both existed for millenia but I see eastern faiths as more useful because they were rarely forced on their adherents.

As to your point on designing your own system, I think it's just hard to design something as complex as a religious system well. Instead of reinventing the wheel, people just choose the best among the time-tested methods. For me Buddhism seems to best fit the bill. If you want examples of people designing their own Religions, look at Crowley's Thelema, or for more philosophy-focused look at Theosophy.

Everyone has a philosophical or theological code, but most people just use what they are given. Even people who don't explicitly have a system still implicitly use a value system to guide their decisions.
You can make bread that stays soft for 7days+ at your own house. You just need to add less water and more fat and sugar (in my case, I use butter and whole milk). I store it in a plate covered by a bowl, and lasts at least a week. Afterwards it starts to get moldy, but it doesn't harden.
Yes - as mentioned in the article, 0 being a valid memory address is an unexpected gotcha. My point is that, even though the C spec allows for such an environment, it still causes lots of problems in practice, so it should be addressed.
I think it's a telling condemnation of our society that a utopian dream for everyone is considered "boring", and impossible to motivate people around.
If you applied the same standard of guilt by association that the post is invoking to other fora, there would be little left.

A is "linked to" B. A "perpetuates" B. A is "known to influence" B.

These are all weasel words meant to hide the fact that there is no actual consistent objection. Usually there are plenty of other, similar examples to be named, with the salient difference only being whether OP feels the site is on their side and whether they can have influence over it or not.

The objection with 4chan has always been that it is unbashfully tolerant to the right wing, which is why it is considered a high crime by some to associate with it. When doxing and incitement is in service of left wing goals instead, such objections evaporate like snow, and even major news outlets and papers happily indulge.

Even the charge of "copium" is shameless projection, and the common response of accusing critics of "whataboutism" is typically meant to deflect that there is no salient difference between two similar situations, and no underlying principle guiding the value judgement being made, other than partisanship masquerading as empathy.

4chan's influence is an order of magnitude less than YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, etc. In Reddit's case in particular, it is easy to observe that major subreddits are ideologically captured and that the site is unrecognizable to those who remember its early days.

By and large, this is allowed and encouraged. Under such hypocrisy, these progressive objections cannot be taken seriously.

Got you -- :high_five:

Although my 2¢: it was a good joke until the second paragraph. That killed it for me – if I'm fed the explanation there's no more fun in "getting" it.
I ended porting a few clients we had in a company that were already running based on Docker to a Kubernetes cluster. The major issues were trying to push everything there. I think it works very well to manage web clients.

Problems started by trying to push too many things into the clusters. Databases and specially ElasticCache with Kibana to collect metrics from the cluster ended killing the performance.

So it's like everything, some cases are great for K8s, some are terrible. This + a complex abstractions makes it not that developer friendly, but overall it does a good job to run and allow to scale services without having to worry too much with hardware.
Me too, but then I miss a great deal about the earlier internet environment as well, just before all the spam and viruses meant you were no longer going to use that webmail host with the cute domain name, join that chat room, run that executable that a friend sent you. It's not that we lost trust in things, it's that we originally didn't factor trust into our dealings with them because it wasn't a big issue. The same thing seems to be now creeping into online discussion, so I have to at least guess it'll go the same boring way in general.

If someone comes up with a magical way to easily attest that a post has been made by a genuine human, while also not burdening that human with the asymmetric backlash potential of the internet mob, perhaps it plays out differently.
Excluding tablets? Probably when we crack genetic engineering of adults, or when we upload our minds into computers and do away with the flawed blood-based body entirely.
