Even before talking about the typing system itself, annotations existed by themselves and are not attached to any behavior in Python: they simply hold metadata.

When Python 3 came out, annotations were indeed added to the language, but no use case was decided for them. It was an experiment to see what the community would do with them instead of forcing a use case base on what the core devs would think would be useful.

In order to allow this, annotations where permitted to be any legal python expression.

Nowadays, type hints have won: annotations are widely used to add static type checking in Python. But the way the language treat them have not changed much appart from becomming lazy. While mypy cannot understand dynamic Python expressions in them, those are nevertheless legal syntax, and will result in correct metadata at runtime.

Therefore, were the typing system not turing complete, the annotations would have been anyway by nature of being basically an exec().

Flatpak and Snaps get their fair share of flak for a number of legitimate reasons, but one thing that I find really nice is that you can deny that permission to them.

Flatseal is actually a good GUI client for doing so. It can modify and tweak the permissions that different apps have. Just turn off the network permission and boom - you've turned off all access to the network for that app.

Of course this means your application has to be bundled into a Flatpak or Snap in some way (and the UX for doing this with Snaps is pretty bad IMO), so you'll probably find that your mileage may vary.

Another alternative is to use apparmor and disallow the `net_raw` capability on a per-application basis (this won't matter how your app is bundled) but that can be exhausting to set up individually.

I'm thinking my WH-1000XM3's were faulty, the ANC didn't work very well unless music or brown noise was played at relatively high volume. Also the sound quality was really 'muddy', very muffled and very bass-dominant. I returned them. Neither of these issues were present on a no-name chinese 60 euro ANC headphone.
Fair, but community consensus is that of oxidization to reflect how the Rust community comes in, takes over, and ruins every discussion about programming by finding some way to mention Rust. It is very much a virtual oxidization process.

I’m surprised to hear all the complaints of early failures, since my experience has basically been the opposite. I bought used AirPods Pro on backmarket and accidentally sent them through the wash a few months in. But they still work flawlessly over a year later, and I even use them for running.

The last one ("My Summer of Nixon and Watergate") got flagged when it was still New, purely because of its title! Some people are SO easily triggered.

I called it "Nixon, the Trump of 50 years ago" which is pretty accurate, if you know your history. Everyone hated him and he was brought down by his own hubris and evil.

But no! The mere title was enough.

"Property taxes are higher, but housing prices are lower in TX than CA. From what I've seen they are a bit of a wash (tax rate is double, but housing prices are 50% or less)."

This was true years ago, but the cost of housing in Frisco TX and San Diego CA are about the same now. If anything, San Diego may have an edge because it has many older, smaller properties that keep the overall cost down compared to the newly built up mcmansion land of Frisco.
It's 2022. If you, as a man, don't accede to every single demand your wife has, you are, at best, emotionally abusive. If she doesn't give enthusiastic consent to the operating system you install on the device she asked you to procure and set up based on your domain knowledge, then you're definitely a rapist. Most likely a Nazi, as well.

OP is clearly a controlling, abusive, gaslighting narcissist. His preference that his wife enjoy a more stable, secure, less bloated computing experience for her sake, and based on his subject-matter expertise is domestic violence, and HN is correctly and properly pointing out that he is Hitler.

Sending the item back requires more effort than painting it. If you don't own a car (which is one of the main reasons you would order things like a tent for online delivery instead of going to your local outdoor/sporting/camping goods store where you could inspect them personally) then you need to somehow get a tent-sized and tent-massed box to the post office. (Remember, this isn't an ultralight-camping backpack tent; more a piece of yard furniture. It isn't necessarily portable.)
> "When he was nearly forty years old, just four years shy of his appointment to the Court, Thomas set out the foundations of his vision in a profile in The Atlantic. “There is nothing you can do to get past black skin,” he said. “I don’t care how educated you are, how good you are at what you do—you’ll never have the same contacts or opportunities, you’ll never be seen as equal to whites.”

People from Africa who've recently immigrated to the United States that I've talked to - be it North Africa (Sudan), West Africa (Nigeria) or East Africa (Tanzania) - really don't seem to share this mentality. It seems most prevalent among those born and raised in the USA (possibly this is true in Europe as well).

As far as tech perspectives, it might be possible very soon to get CRISPR-type genetic treatments that alter skin pigment expression - proposed as a medical treatment for people with rare albinism that makes them highly sunlight-sensitive. There are a few recent papers on this.

Western countries have (more-or-less) accepted trans-gender identification in conjunction with hormone/surgical alteration; I wonder if similar 'trans-racial' identification backed up by artificially altering skin cell pigment expression will ever become a thing.
Aide’s Diary Suggests Hirohito Agonized over His War Responsibility (2018)
This is good feedback for the Wasm community.

Right now I am teaching a VM course on the back-half of the Wasm equation: how to build an engine for Wasm. The course is about more than Wasm, of course, so there is a lot of content about JVMs and dynamic object models, but the projects are based around Wasm.

In the future I envision university compiler courses getting divided into two halves, either as one course with two halves, or two full courses. The first course/half would be entirely frontend: parsing, semantic analysis, IR, translation, lowering--and the target would be WebAssembly. The second course/half would be all about compiling Wasm to machine code. If the second course wanted to go more in the VM/runtime direction, vs focusing on compilation, it could include the upcoming GC extension or a custom extension to have objects.

I think Wasm is the future of code formats and languages, so I'd like to move the needle here for PL implementors.

It was to point out the absurdity of picking out this particular example given her long life and the many, many events and bills you could describe as 'terrible' along the way. If she was going to have broken her convention and tried to assert real power, that would be have a really odd one to pick.

BTW I didn't assert any opinion on Brexit itself, only that the level of hatred of it reached by some people is irrational.

> the Queen was ... a closet Tory

You don't actually know what the Queen's politics were. She lived through several Labour governments and never stopped their bills or expressed opinions on them either, that's just not the sort of monarch she was.

That’s good, as smaller cells means less interference with data from other users.

The only problem areas will be those were many people meet for a short period such as festivals. That’s not different than it is now, though. Providers will temporarily provide smaller cells at such locations.

> Cancer is easily explained from an evolutionary optimization perspective

Anything that "easily explains" cancer should be thrown right out as unscientific. Cancer is many diseases, many of which are profoundly different from the others in both mechanisms of action and causes.

I kindly ask that you don't use such confident sounding language, either deluding yourself or others into believing your statements as true, when much of what you state is an untested (and probably unfalsifiable) hypothesis.
There are some military studies that showed autophagy didn't kick in until they dropped below 6% body fat. But that was with 600kcal and no change in duties. So it's not necessarily relevant. I do IF but I'm a couch potato. If I really stick to 20hrs, it seems to work very well. If I slip to even 19 I have to skip food for a day or even two to get back to feeling good (clear head functioning gut etc.). I am overweight still, but not obese. I lose about 2lbs a week when I stick with it. I am nervous about resuming excercise. I hope I can still recover well. I just do strength training 3 days a week for an hour, or two once I'm back to needing more warmup sets.

It also supports many more features in rendering which previously were unavailable or so badly supported you couldn't use them. It's basically like going from 2005 to 2015 in terms of capabilities.

There are still notable gaps, like no bindless resources or raytracing though. So don't expect e.g. unreal engine to run on WebGPU without some significant compromises.
Take it to the Apple Store. They'll very likely replace them.

Back in late 2020 I took mine in for an issue in one Airpod. They ran them through their little testing device and determined they had other problems too and just gave me another. Worse they can do is tell you no, but they're pretty liberal about just replacing them.
In principle, this means you can ask mypy to check arbitrary properties of your code at compile-time. (It won't necessarily succeed, because not all properties can be checked, but you can make it try). In practice, python is very poorly suited to this kind of work.
In my experience, an important chunk of the experience depends on who your boss is, another chunk depends on the company itself.

I experienced both "toxic" and "fantastic" work environments at AWS, during my 6 years tenure. I'm not surprised other can find Amazon "toxic", but I know that there are good people there, and good teams, and good job opportunities.

Also, I used to pretty much work ~90% remote, back in 2008-2014. My boss(es) never had anything against that. The "remote work" policy is influenced by the company, but it also depends on your boss and team.

I think your assessment is way too polarized against working at Amazon. My 0.02.

I've found a strategy that has worked fairly well for me. It doesn't result in them permanently leaving me alone, but it at least grants a reprieve. Ask to be removed from their contact list, and also reference the last person you asked. "Hi John, no thanks, and please remove me from your contact list. I previously asked Betty (bettysmith@amazon), and it seems to have not gone through."

I get about 3 months of silence from them each time I do that. When I just respond "no thanks" I continue to get about 1 contact per week.
That was my experience verbatim. The employee even suggested going to Costco specifically, as he thought it was ridiculous that they weren't covering them.
It means that the type checker is Turing complete and can in theory run forever or get stuck in an infinite loop.

That article and the OP are an example of gaslighting and motivated reasoning. "This claim is sloppy, but not this other one that confirms my bias".

But really both are sloppy.
Apple is a bad example - they make computers, that is their core business. From chips (ok, they don't own any chip fabs, iirc they used to have their own manufacturing but later outsourced to China, but they do design) up to software, plus marketing and distribution (which is always where the money is - eg Nike makes boatloads selling shoes while the sweatshop workers are paid pennies). The iPhone? It's a computer with access to cellular networks. The iPad? It's a computer. Everything Apple has made since OS X in ~2000 is a Unix computer. Even, if I'm not mistaken, watchOS and tvOS are Unix based.

It's like when Mercedes/BMW et al started making SUVs after years of making sedans and coupés. It's a different form factor, but still the same basic product.
Maybe if social science was real science instead of quackery people would want to help.
Yeah I saw a (mind-blowing) talk on Neurodesk (and Brainhack Cloud) last night (NeuroTechX Hacknight at Noisebridge in SF https://www.meetup.com/neurotechx-sf/events/288358663/ ) and that's what led me to CVMFS. Neurodesk is nuts (in a good way!) It successfully abstracts away so much of the gnarly details. You need different versions of that obscure program? No problem, have them all, run them concurrently, whatever.

Even if you're not a researcher it's worth checking out for the technical accomplishments.
>> That's not complex.

Humans only contribute around 3% of total CO2 emissions... That's almost certainly less than normal year-on-year variability of CO2 emissions from purely natural sources. The level of volcanic activity (which, on its own contributes more CO2 than humans) is not the same every year. It's difficult to see how human impact on climate change could be significant.

Another thing is that CO2 is good for plants and trees; so increased CO2 should contribute to global greening; and there is evidence of this occurring. Since plants consume carbon dioxide, one would think that more plants and trees on earth would mean that more carbon dioxide would be taken out of the atmosphere. It seems like mother nature has already figured out how to achieve CO2 equilibrium.

Do the climate change models account for things like global greening? Do they account for the fact that plants can evolve to adapt to a changing environment (with more CO2) through the process of natural selection? A good environmental model would have to account for all the different plant populations around the world and their DNA changes over time... We would have to understand how plant genes affect CO2 consumption; and the simulation would involve trillions of variables and probably require millions or billions of times all the world's current computational capacity to compute accurately. That's barely scratching the surface of the complexity. It's arrogant and disingenuous to suggest that it's simple.

All scientists have been able to establish to far is correlation. There is no evidence of causation. Establishing causation is likely impossible due to the huge number of variables involved. Not only do we not fully understand how all the variables interact, we don't even know what all the variables are because the earth is so complex and massive.
I've found that people like to DM me when they're asking a question they should already know the answer to, and they like to message me in public when they're accusing me or telling me to do something.

They DM me or publicly message me depending on what's most convenient for their public image.

Me neither, but I remember I was annoyed few times it took "ages" to load a "library" of few (thousands) tracks and then consumed considerable amount of RAM. Maybe TENS of megabytes even (!!1!).
