There are many reasons to rely on python, speed is not one of them. You may still have speed when using python if you do it correctly, but this is more or less despite using python not because of it.

One reason for python in my eyes is maintainability: Well written python code can be easily understood and nearly as easily modified. Well written python code becomes close to what pseudo code would look like.

This is the reason python's weird jungle of dependency managment tools is so out of place for the language: It is a maintenance nightmare. I would describe myself as someone who is very able to deal with those problems, yet they are such an utter waste of time and energy.
Now imagine how much better it'd be if you could fully charge your car at night instead of add only 50 miles.
In what dystopian country do you live where you don't automatically get the day off when calling in sick?
Place where I used to live shut down the main bus line in the poorest part of town. The result was people couldn't easily go to the local (small) market which then closed. The result was going from a 10 minute bus ride to almost an hour one way. The old line had quite a few stops along the way, so residents with a few bags of groceries didn't have far to walk. The new route had one stop which was placed far from the residence area.
For physical excellence, we have a literal competition around the world comparing our most physically fit specimens against each other to determine how they rank against each other. I could draw some interesting conclusions based on simply analyzing that data alone.
For intellectual excellence we could look towards chess tournaments and Olympiads as some of the forms of data available for analysis, drawing similar conclusions as we do from the physical excellence observations.
One could say that those are both secondary sources of information, where direct genetic sequencing could be seen as a primary source of information.
It would of course be wonderful to be able to say with certainty, our most advanced intellectuals have concluded that our findings based on secondary sources correlate with our findings from primary sources, and additionally have made their findings public to allow for scrutiny - but of course, who would want to do that, when its much easier to handwave away any attempt to draw conclusions as racist or biased.

Somewhere out there is a person with the genes to unlock biological immortality, but sure, lets block access for researchers because their public (scrutinizable) results are biased, or based on biased data.

Btw, there is no unbiased data in the world, should we cancel all science?
Spectrum had numerous input modes which made the typing experience complicated and prone to errors. On a mobile device, you can just add another key row on top of existing keyboard without incurring complexity. La Terminal is a great example.
Oh wow you can charge 300 miles without L2 charging overnight? That's one hell of a plug you must have there.
I have Firefox Containers, cookie auto-delete, ublock origin, privacy badger.

The site is unavailable to me even in a regular Firefox window. I am guessing it's the tracker blocking or maybe I have some config settings that is doing this.

>Neither of these are low hanging fruit for automation

The Uber app already does both of these things. Encouragement is done via gamification and adjusting pricing and the app itself collects all the data it needs and explains everything the driver needs to know.
> From the report you linked

Thanks for citing the relevant part. It shows OP is clearly wrong about "14k civilians killed".

> These monthly reports by the OHCHR give a breakdown of the specific causes and locations of casualties. From an earlier report:

> The bulk of civilian casualties since 2014 has been in the rebel regions and inflicted by Ukrainian government forces.

Again, this is another misrepresentation of facts. You are quoting a single monthly report with 3 civilians killed (in total), and are attempting to mislead by 1) extrapolating it to the entire conflict since 2014 and 2) asserting the "bulk" of casualties to be inflicted by Ukraine (The UN report makes no such assertion whatsoever).

In 2014, frontlines were highly fluid - going that far back, the term "rebel regions" is essentially meaningless since the borders of these entities did at one point reach Slovyansk (a city that remains under Ukrainian control to this day).
Yup. I use a VoIP through <https://www.voip.ms>. SMS and voicemail forwards to email, and I use Signal, WhatsApp, or FaceTime for calls. I haven’t had a real number in over a year now.

Is this the irrationality measure?

I don't think the value for pi is known. The value for e is 2, which is the same value for e.g. sqrt 2.
Yeah again, I'm not arguing against EVs (not sure how people even arrived at that opinion), I'm arguing that owning an L2 charger at home provides more than "barely a convenience over 110V". If you have only a 110V then, no, you cannot "always charge at home." It's literally the argument I'm making.
What exactly is "AntiX"?

The byline of "anti-fascist" makes it seem like something more than just systemd-free. Anti-what? It still comes with X-server... or is systemd fascism now?

The expression part or the extension method part? (Obviously: No clue about Kotlin, just interested)
I don't know what you're talking about. You sure you replied to the right comment?
Imagine some point in history where the wheel hasn't yet been invented. But someone figured out that an octagon works kind of reasonably well as something that you might want to put under your chariot, and the whole world of engineering is under a culture where "reinventing the octagon" is some kind of cardinal sin. Where would we be then?

Also: Your reasoning is logically a fallacy. From "people making mistake X tend to do Y" it does not follow that "doing Y is a mistake".
Boise not all that small, and people there work hard. I lived there for 10 years, so am familiar with it.
A lie. A false accusation can have devastating consequences.

Even a truth that you were not ready to share with the world could be very harmful.
Unix did make it work much better a bit later, organizations used to run NFS and single sign on with Kerberos to workstations, automated from scratch reprovisioning of workstations (so you could just reinstall from tftp server with org specific SW customizations included if previous user had messed the box up), smooth remote access to all machines including gui apps, etc.

It just went away due to Microsoft crowding it out.
This article seems to be written by AI for sure.
That is far, far more than transferring a byte of data. It's not the future though of course, this was well established in the 80s, it just so happens that it's a decent model for managing remote machines that outlasted over-engineered distributed designs like Plan9, VMS, MOSIX, etc. It's much more meaningful and useful than "something simple" "running little functions floating in the void" which just sounds like some vapid marketing pitch.

The great thing about Linux as the base layer is that it allows a commodity common ground with a very capable system that also facilitates more specialized layers to be implemented on top of it.
the problem seems to be the difference between the oldest and the youngest kid in a class. OP had problems through his school life as they were always the youngest. so starting the same process a year later doesn't seem to help.

what would help is an adaption of the montessori model where an age range of three years is in a class, and the expectation of all kids behaving the same naturally disappears.

doing that at least in kindergarten will at least avoid a mistaken diagnosis for ADHD. but my hope is that montessori kids will also fare better in a regular school because they learned to be more independent.
Someone should create the first Linux distro that doesn’t push any political agenda and strictly prioritizes code quality over agenda enforcement.
>Webb’s deeper infrared vision (0.6 microns to 28.5 microns)

That's true for the entire observatory, but this particular image was captured with NIRCAM, the near-infrared instrument, which goes out to 5 microns. Deep infrared is done with MIRI, a lower resolution instrument. (As required by the Abbe diffraction law)
Good point, we should ban all jogging because of the Boston Marathon.
We should ban all cars because terrorists might use them.

The phone does not have to be plugged into the computer if that's what you mean. I haven't tried it with the phone turned off, but I would suspect it could be handing it off to the phone somehow, that might be what is happening. But once I enabled the setting it worked as described.
Nobody has ever suggested I have ADHD and I've never tried Adderall, but a nice cup of coffee is an ideal bedtime drink for me and a couple of Red Bulls before a lecture in college would have me fall asleep in the class.

Aren't these proportions of the voting population, not the actual population?

Wait, I remember Google gave up supporting IntelliJ around 2011, leaving only one full-featured IDE, Eclipse, as the only option. Did it change since 2011?
Reminds me of the Honey War (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_War), where some ambiguity in the cartography of waterways and a self-idolizing governor nearly led to the militias of neighboring states squaring off.
Outlook/Proton is easier because they don't ask for phone number while GMail does. (At least in my country).

There's also number of throwaway temp mail providers, and 33mail (If I recall correctly, gives a subdomain and all emails to that domain get forwarded to your original email.).
Every manager I have ever worked with has struggled to quantify the performance of their employees, or to define the inputs that affect employee performance. Good luck building an AI that can manage without knowing either of those two things.

I mean a primordial black hole with the size of a tennis ball would have 5 to 15 earth masses. It would not be invisible, but at that size it would be invisible to us even if it was in our solar vicinity.

If primordial black holes are things that exist, one could reason that they might be an explaination for masses we cannot see maybe?
I agree with you on principle. However, in practice, I don't know how that would work out. In places like Paris, for example, jobs tend to be very concentrated in a few hotspots. This is a nightmare for infrastructure, like you can imagine because everybody wants to get to the same place at the same time.

There were attempts to "distribute" this, but as far as I can tell, they didn't really work out as expected.

I still think that this distribution is the best approach, though, instead of building 200-story buildings around the office towers. And this distribution can take multiple forms, one of which is remote working.

Except Maslow was wrong.
> it gets a bit tricky when you ask urgent question to colleague and he is not responding to you for 30 minutes.

This type of interruption culture is very harmful both directly to productivity (it takes a long time to get back to focus from being interrupted) and also to mental health from the pressure of being constantly interruped and expected to jump at every slack message.

There should be no question that is so urgent that it can't be answered tomorrow. Do a full day of work and check & answer your messages once a day, morning or evening.

The exception is people on call who of course do need to respond to things within minutes but that's why being on call is so exceptionally stressful. Rotate that so nobody is subject to such stress very often.
Is this like java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException?
Who is this article pitched at? It seems to veer from explaining very basic things to assuming advanced knowledge and ultimately winds up saying that the fundamental layer of reality is the universe, which feels pretty tautological.
> It will never cease to amaze me how consistently far behind HN’s user base is on this topic

You will see the same bias when talking about game development, it is all about FOSS and portable APIs over here, when driking bears at GDC(E) it is all about IP, publisher deals, raw platform features, and who cares about the portability versus getting that deal that puts one on the spotlight.

The communities couldn't be further appart in culture.
In GR, space and time form a single geometry called space-time, and gravity is a curvature of this geometry. Within this geometry, there are 3 spacial dimensions, and 1 time dimension. However, there is no universal axis. In the same way that different observers may disagree on which direction x is, they could also disagree on which direction t is.

In the context of a black hole, we can compare the coordinate system that someone far away would use, with the coordinate system of someone near the black hole. For someone far away, the center of the black hole is just that. A point in 3 dimensional space causing a gravitatational field. However as you aproach the black hole, your natural coordinate system starts to warp relative to a distant observer. Your time axis begins to point more towards the center of the black hole.

At the point you cross the event horizon, your perspective of "future" points entirely in what a distant observer would call a spatial direction: towards the center of the black hole. In particular, the black hole singularity is no longer a point in space, but a point in time. Every observer within the event horizon sees a universe where the future is an infinitly dense singularity that all geodesics will arrive at.

Compare this with our current universe. We see a universe where the past is an infinitely dense singularity that all geodesics originate from.
> It tries to show the most relevant columns ranked in the best order, depending on your search.

Please don't do that. It messes with muscle memory. Either have columns always in fixed order or let me customise the order. Google search has dynamic order and while usually Images link is the second one in upper row, sometimes it moves Maps there resulting misclicks. Terrible UX. There are very few cases where dynamic UI makes sense, but IMHO search is not that.

Same here. I do not have any opinion towards systemd, but using it together with NixOS is really simple and hassle-free.
you don't even need to keep change. aldi will spot you the quarter and never ask to be repaid. the point is you have to ask, which involves cooperation rather than entitlement.

the whole process is about selecting for clientele who are willing to recognize that they have some obligations as a customer to work with the model on an individual level if they want to maximize its effectiveness on a group level.

its just the same group psychology behind coupon clipping in a different disguise.
Was the harm "being fired" or was the harm the "false accusation"?

Because I can think of plenty of things others do that get people fired, without any falsity to it. Should we prosecute calling up someone's employer and urging them to fire them?
You could tell the "investigators" directly and anonymously. That way if your comment about police corruption was not true, nobody would be fired for no reason. That is precisely the point.

No point discussing the speech of criminals like Putin, lies are just the tip of the iceberg.

> That would be a TON of code added to our applications

wait, doesn't using a library also add that code to your application?

And if the library has to cover more than your immediate needs, isn't is much much more code added?
Yes, just open you favorite paint program, create a new image, select black color, select the fill tool, and click into the image.

We don't spend oodles of money to build sensitive instruments to observe things you could see with the unaided eye.

That was a quick response to what I thought would be better than administrating a UNIX system on an Amazon machine. Don't be an ass. I've no experience with the real distributed computing systems created before UNIX.

The great thing about Linux as the base layer is that it allows a commodity common ground with a very capable system that also facilitates more specialized layers to be implemented on top of it.

No, that's the vapid marketing pitch. The Linux kernel randomly kills processes when it starts exhausting memory. It's garbage.

Hey, Brainfuck also facilitates more specialized layers to be implemented on top of it. Now, what's stupid about doing that, however?

I would recommend taking this book or similar ones with a grain of salt. Just going off the summary it claims to "prove" that ADHD isn't inheritable, which goes against lots of well established research showing strong inheritability of ADHD.

Any books that claim to undercover the "root cause" of something as varied and complex likely haven't. Now it might have great insights, but presenting the book this way gives a bit of undertone as "cure ADHD with this one simple trick!".

Guessing about the content of the book, it likely seems to discuss healing emotional regulation by some means. If so I'd agree it's a valuable aspect of treating ADHD, as most ADHD'ers also suffer significant emotional damage. That damage and accompanying maladaptive coping often is far impactful than ADHD itself.
Leave it to hacker news comments to summarize something I thought was black magic into paragraph that I completely understand. Not sure I could replicate it but it makes sense to me now.

So, this has been around a lot longer than we had accurate star charts that actually understood the motion of planets and stars, right? Do you have any summary of how these charts that describe where a certain star is above on the earth on a specific day came from before we understood the motions of the stars?

Raising 2 kids, both winners at the Google & other Science/Code competitions. The advantage adults have w/ our experiences could go a long way for our kids, to take them leaps and bounds in their journey. Probably that could also bring in rapid development, as this enables them to learn things way earlier, which we had learnt much later.

This could even be errands around home, or seed their love for music, or pick groceries and put them in the trunk - these habits can all be acquired well when young. Imbibing such qualities or hobbies later on become almost impossible. I think it is the parents who seed the early thought process within a kid.

Btw, I created a small group on Telegram (t.me/nexturn) where we share similar stuff related to raising kids :)
