> while those Marvel effects are, well, boring by now. They have no wow effect (we see them in almost every single modern day movie), the convey no emotion (difficult to properly act, I think, when you are in front of a green screen and everything just plays out in your imagination) not do those effects actually drive the "story" forward.

I think this is the crux of it, moreso than the CGI Orgy (great term btw). You can have movies with visibly apparent CGI, or even straight up animated movies, but the action is great and still drives the plot and pulls on your heart strings. I know every beat of The Matrix by heart, but there's still a ton of suspense in every action shot, because each encounter adds some new angle to the power scaling. At the start, squad of mooks > 1 freedom fighter > several mooks, but even 1 agent is better than several FFs. Then that balance shifts.

Contrast that with the Smiths fight in the later films, and it's totally Conservation of Ninjutsu at play. Adding more baddies just divides the power of a single baddie, because we already know the outcome, so we know 1 Neo = N Smiths.

Watched Aquaman recently, same thing. Completely unprincipled power scaling. No reference frame, and it just scales up and up until it's CGI Army 1 vs CGI Army 2. That spectacle might work if I had more reference for the power levels, plus emotional investment, but I don't.
That feels like a moving goalpost. When your >3.5% protest fails, just redefine the denominator to make it <=3.5%.
It would be cool to have an ATC game that uses real life historical traffic to see how you would do. Pick an airport and draw a bounding box around it, record when and where a plane enters the box and replay it in the game. Difficulty can be based on which airport you pick from small regionals to the big multi airport Class-Bs
You mean I’m arguing we should work to have fewer cars in e.g Asia? And that’s whose restricted freedom? Those who have good enough infrastructure to not need cars?

I don’t get it. The idea is not not force people to need cars by building poor infrastructure and poorly planned cities. I’d love to not need to own a car (and I’m not American).

Not sure why you keep talking about genocide and to be honest it’s not quite coherent.
But it's just black and white, right? Still, that sounds promising.
Or, why everyone is forced by the government to subsidize gas in America.

edit: I remembered that the G20 had agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, but apparently there's enough wiggle room in the language to get away with it if you really want to.

Looks like a bunch of nations have done it, and the main way to stop it hurting the poor is by giving the money that was going to fossil fuels to the poor. Simple, yet effective.

It's easy to make vague, unsubstantiated statements when you don't define anything.

Most establishments are gaining power. Right-wing authoritarianism is taking over governments in the US, India, and Poland. We are in a new Gilded Age, where people like Elon Musk can openly commit crimes without punishment and Peter Thiel can select Senate candidates. The CCP is gaining power and big banks are buying up cryptocurrency.

The only failing establishment I know of is organized religion, and even then, Islam and Christian fundamentalism are doing just fine.
While many on HN likely consider it pretty gauche, to say the least, to be racist towards certain minority groups whose struggles Americans tend to have more awareness of, I do still see the subtle—and not-so-subtle—racism and prejudice regularly, especially when it comes to Asian groups, be it towards Arabs, like myself, Indians, Chinese, and many other people. So, I get the frustration.

However, that said, even if you intended for others to take your comment rhetorically rather than genuinely transphobically, to highlight how bad what the other person said sounds to you, I think it’s misguided at best; trans people get attacked enough as is, and I don’t think there is any need to bring imageboard slurs [1] into the mix to get the point across.

I don’t mean for all of that to come across as “virtue signaling” to distract from the original problem of racism by solely focusing on the transphobic language. The reason why I’m not ripping the parent comment apart or flagging it is that I interpreted it completely differently; I didn’t take it to be subtle racism toward Indians, as if they need to be “fixing the problem” (of not understanding the actual level of danger?), but rather that because Apple is seemingly so uninterested in addressing the issue, sarcastically, they should ship plastic laptops instead. Maybe this is too generous of an interpretation? I don’t know. But yeah, worth considering the other possibilities.

[1]: tbh, I’m not sure if we can refer to verbs as slurs or if they are solely nouns. I can’t actually think of another similar verb to compare (Maybe this is my wordcel moment). You get the point, though.
Stackoverflow isn't only for web development though, they are areas were Windows is still popular, I 100% agree on that.

So while I was off cigarettes I would vape, then still craved cigarettes. But I was getting all this nicotine, right? Then I smoked one, as planned, one per season while quitting, which changes the self-talk from "I can never smoke again" to "I gotta hold out for Autumn." Then I smoke it, it's so metallic. Incredible. I personally craved the metal, and in particular I did find a study rats preferred some dosage of something with cadmium in it.

Now you’re arguing in poor faith. I never said that that’s “just Canada”.

Rather, I tried to ask how much you know about the Canadian implementation of MAID. You talked around those questions so now it’s time for some facts.

1.) The increase in 2021 numbers can be explained by bill C-7. C-7 changed eligibility for MAID. When C-7 received royal assent it meant that a patient’s death no longer had to be reasonably foreseeable for them to be eligible for MAID.

2.) Numbers in 2022 will rise as more physicians are being trained in MAID and getting more comfortable with the idea.

3.) Numbers in 2023 will rise even more as in March, mental illness as a sole condition will become eligible for MAID.

Again, all of this is guided by policy that would make it very hard to receive MAID if you’re not actually eligible.

Those are facts and at this point, it seems like you’re trying to use some personal moral queasiness as a way to overlook the evolution of policy.

The problem is the convenience of a car makes it not worth just putting on a layer of clothing for the weather. Use a car if you're going to travel 100km, but don't be like the rest of the people in my Montana town and use a car to go pick up the groceries 3 miles away just because it's 42 degrees and you're cold.

See by saying you need a car for these extremes you are actually just making excuses to use a car all the time.

If everyone else is confused by "a Python", this is a language that compiles to CPython bytecode.

I suppose by that definition, Jython and Iron Python are not Pythons (but PyPy is).
This is simply not the case. It works sometimes. Maybe.
In many cases (software that is, say, a few years old) you run into packages that aren't available for a certain version. After trying various combinations of pip, maybe even easy_install, and poetry - to come up empty handed, you may realize you need some old library such as qt4, where pypi will certainly not work.
So when poetry or pip doesn't work and pypi doesn't have your specific old version, you may try mamba/conda/ micromamba conda-forge.
But these also probably don't have it either, and your stuck trying to compile old versions in a docker, which still is not guaranteed to work.

There's a reason that package dependency keeps getting rewritten in python. People think they can make it better, but some of the problem is actually just the developer choices by people making the packages. Probably the price paid for having too many people using the language who aren't actual software developers.
This is why I don't use WSL 2. WSL 1 has much better performance when used on C:\
I understand the motivation for shared libs is the reduced memory footprint for large common libs. I have an alternative idea that avoids the headaches of shared lib mismatches and still can reduce the memory footprint. Have relocatable code be statically linked but stored with a hash. When loading a binary see if common relocatable code is already loaded .. if it has the same hash then it is exactly the same and can be safely shared. No version mismatch headaches.
per se, I don't mind the white spaces--but I don't want to be forced to use them. Like what you see in Julia, or Kotlin. Code is poetry. I should be trusted to organize my code according to how it reflects what it reflects.

I dislike block markers as much as forced white-space, because there is lack of freedom. I understand that this was done so that different people could easily read legacy code but I don't think this helps because despite Python zen, there way too many ways to do the same thing. Why not allow the programmer to get creative so that at least the code is elegant? Elegance is highly readable.

BTW: I think a good mechanism would be: "do not reward if it is not worth it" and "reward if it is." But the Fascist aspect here is: "punish if it is not worth it." Who decide what is worth what?

Answers that earn higher points may be attractive to a majority of people, but you well know that the majority are of average intelligence (IQ is normally distributed).

This argument comes up every time this discussion comes up (on flatpaks etc). And for almost all systems I’d say “yes, absolutely”.

Yeah we decided to integrate with Teams because I had that exact experience in the past. I was at a company that decided "we're using Teams". We weren't allowed to install alternatives like Discord or Slack.

Teams itself has some limitations that are easy to improve upon. They have no way of doing a huddle/pop-in-style room. They screw up the presence signaling in a way that discourages pop-ins: if you join a call with someone your and the other participants' status is set to busy/unavailable. From other peoples' perspective this isn't very inviting, and doesn't indicate that the conversation is public. Teams also limits who can share screens to only 1 person at a time.
Those old benchmarks (that have since been deleted) are highly misleading. The protobuf column is essentially what you would get if you just ignored all the performance best practices of protobuf. There's no reason why in C++ you'd need to allocate and deallocate a message struct for every parse. You just reuse it. And you can have allocation-free parses if you want, and you can alias network or file buffers if you want.

But the main reason people use protobuf is it is compact, which this table does accurately show. Flatbuffers are always larger.
It really depends on whether the bug is in API or not. If it is not, it is likely that upgrading only the shared library is enough.

Two points:

Predicting an asteroid just uses some physics. It’s fairly deterministic.

You are predicting the outcome of fantastically complex systems - political, climatological, economic, social, technological … it’s not a good analogy because predicting the future on those dimensions has been historically next to impossible.

But even if I accepted your analogy:

What I’m saying is more like “there’s an asteroid headed straight for the earth. A bunch of people are working really hard to deal with it, blow it up, knock it off course, etc. Some are optimistic, some pessimistic. Regardless, if you aren’t part of that team, your role is to do YOU as best you can, and hope they are successful in fending off the apocalypse. Otherwise you create a 100% certainty of massive suffering in yourself and likely those around you as well. At best you fail to realize your personal potential. So it is basically a self fulfilling prophecy.”
Or it just means the expansion factor isn't infinite, maybe ran out of energy to keep pushing outwards against whatever resistance from the outside or mass needed to overcome that resistance

and like a ball tied to a rubberband, it's may not be stalled but collapsing back over trillions of years, maybe the external force/mass is now overcoming the outward expansion like a bubble in a puddle

I am sure there are far better, educated theories but that's just mine.

I like how they don't even try to pretend that this is a route to practical power generation, it's all about research into the fundamental physics of fusion - which is a worthy goal in itself.

Did the OP consider sending less data? For example, registering the metric and using an int, rather than sending all of the static data every time. I guess the major downside there is it would make the metric server stateful and I think OpenTelemetry uses UDP.

Surely, it's the other way around. You are likely thinking on projects which are not just popular, but with a target audience so large that they are nearly-mainstream-media-level popular, or alternative, important enough to be necessary for large corporations' activities. For those you may be right, and even there I'm not sure.
