Something similar happened close by my old neighborhood. The river was highly contaminated by close by industry. In the 80s a new initiative started to improve the quality of the river.

Nowadays, there is promenade along the river and it is easy to see many birds around. People goes there to do jogging or cycle. The river is creating as much economic value as natural one.

But it is nor inviting nor healthy to swim in the river, there is much more work to be done.
Last night I happened to watch a 'philosophical video' called "How to Be a Happy Loser | A Guide for Modern Day Untouchables" [0] that turned about pretty interesting. One of the things it discusses is that sometimes the situation you're in is partly due to bad luck. So although it's good to take some responsibility for your life, it's not really fair to blame yourself for all of it. There are a lot of other interesting video's on the channel, I would definitively check a couple of them out.

Keep in mind that one thing you have is persistence (you keep trying everyday, and you tried exercising many times).

this is a pretty fascinating question. Yes, they definitely wouldn't be able to create say Intel fabs, since the "market" cannot sustain it. But, being a very adaptable species, could they gracefully scale down the tech to keep making what's needed for survival? It's similar to time travel, if you got dropped into the middle ages, would your knowledge be useful to them? here it's like the reverse: having seen everything in an advanced civilization, can a resource-constrained team pick out and keep the most important core?

On (1) I'm don't see how limiting the number of growers was, or should have been, within OLCC's role. When governments try to match supply to demand this way it generally goes very poorly in the best case (ex: certificate of need requirements for opening hospitals, federal marketing orders limiting production) and runs into regulatory capture in the worst case (ex: increasing the entry requirements for professions to boost wages).

The people best included to make good decisions on how much to produce were the growers and their investors, with their own time and money on the line.
Try using SendGrid or Mailgun.
Or just turn it into an extraction, problem solved. Not many spores can survive a solvent wash, I don't know of any research that says they do.
> Are there some valid reasons that made 2->3 migration insanely hard for some projects?

Print was a non-issue once you could do "from __future__ import print_function". It was the unicode migration.

All string handling from I/O required at least checking.

The dependency issue was the most crippling, though: because you can't load Python 2 code from Python 3, before your project can begin migrating you have to wait for all your dependencies to update as well. This may involve them changing the types that get passed over the API from 'str' to 'bytes' or vice versa, which is potentially a breaking change.

I find it a bit hard to believe you’re really that naive, but I’ll go ahead and respond.

I've worked in many domains, including arts, and I'm especially interested in audio-related work, but I have a deep love for any kind of programming. I look forward to proving it.

I'm a USA citizen, residence permit in EU.

Would you care to elaborate on what it is and why it's better for the benefit of those of us who don't know Go?

It's tricky to look up a different solution you aren't familiar since the terminology is different. What I'm seeing currently doesn't really look that different to Python, but with different names for the types and such.

Taking a stab at it; This looks simple, and runes are great (similar to Python):

https://golangdocs.com/strings-in-golang

But something that bothers me is that converting an array of bytes to a string looks to implicitly be ASCII, or possibly UTF8. This document doesn't say.

This document acknowledges encodings and clarifies that literals are UTF8, but makes no mention of byte arrays:

https://go.dev/blog/strings

I've poked through as many SO questions as I care to and am not clear on how to use different encodings. Looks to me like this is a difference in philosophy; Python would say, explicit is better then implicit, and I'm inclined to agree.

If I'm not understanding properly I'm happy to be corrected.
Isn't that effectively what was done with Python? You'd do "#!/usr/bin/env python" for old code and "#!/usr/bin/env python3" for new code. Rather than it being wrapped up in a single entry-point, you had the different runtimes and library sets.
There were no naked ladies in the tank, neither anywhere nearby. The naked ladies were for those who didn't go to the front.

Just a suggestion for you, based on my own home improvements: break bigger things in smaller tasks and try to finish them in the same day or the day after. Sometimes life gets in the way, or you lose steam, and an incomplete repair or unfinished task starts to become a psychological drag or even make a section of your house unusable.

Another one: buy the basic tools (screwdrivers, hammer, pliers, saw, sets of screws and nails) whenever possible and have them always available, but buy other tools as you go along, because only then you'll know what you are going to need.

And yet another one: don't be afraid to do (most) things. If you do a bad job or break something you can learn something from that and re-try. If not, you can always (or mostly) hire someone to fix your errors.

I'm not a native EN speaker and slept poorly last night, so I hope you can understand my suggestions!
I'm annoyed by the use of quotations around the word language in the title. This isn't "language", it's language. The use of quotations on the word delegitimizes what is being developed here, likely (in my opinion) due to bias against Signed languages.

The original paper doesn't use quotations. That's an addition from the author.
Fwiw, I say K-dian-live, but, as with many software-y things, I have 0 friends with the same interests so it's always a guess. I do know on some Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts you can vote (with boosts/sats) on how to pronounce things (like Gif/Jif, Gnome/Gu-nome, Deb-ian/Dee-bian). So, I guess it's a regular thing... But you know, English... https://www.learnenglish.de/pronunciation/pronunciationpoem....

Somehow in my head some things come out as Dutch, so GGGnome (hard throaty G, like a Klingon would say it).
I saw a standalone video ad with him the other day (on LinkedIn?) for Supermicro server products. It was clear from his voice that it was a paid promotion (not the same tone as a typical semi-objective modern product demo/review), but I'd guess that would have some reputation cost with some viewers. So I'd guess his company makes good money from that as well.
I noticed that 240.0.0.0/4 is reserved for "Future Use". As IPv4 is going to be replaced by v6 (slowly, ok, but still...), what is that future use supposed to be?

Edit: I just saw that my question has already been answered in this thread.
I don't think that is comparable. Your example is literally happening on the countries soil.

I think a better physical analogy would be handling the sale of imported foreign products that dont meet safety standards.

you mean that the _type systems_ of these languages are somewhat Turing-incomplete, not the languages themselves, right?

I really hope ChatGPT or another, similarly capable model will continue to be available for free in quantity sufficient for personal usage (copious amounts of it). I almost don't use my free-tier GPT-3 because of a psychological barrier of being aware there is a limit, even if it should be high enough.

ChatGPT has been on my mind ever since it was made available for all kinds of possible questions from philosophy, nature, universe, law, linguistics and translation, writing code, diagrams, graphs, debugging code and systems. I've learned to intuit what kind of question will provide an interesting answer. I'm still sometimes struggling to reformulate questions it should be able to answer but provides canned responses or made up answers.

I appreciate it for creative suggestions (think "gifts for ...", "questions for ...") and for summarizing/explaining content interactively. I admire its ability to appear to be reasoning without actually reasoning.

I think the next steps for development would be:

* Pairing it with some logical reasoning and computing engine so that it doesn't make elementary mistakes (Wolfram Alpha comes to mind as state of the art).
* Pairing it with a knowledge graph like Wikidata.
* Letting it browse the web to get up-to-date information in real time and process it.
* Adding more visualization modes (it generates tables when asked) like charts and graphs (mental maps could be a popular usage), perhaps interactive ones. You can currently do this surprisingly successfully by generating the text, then plugging it to a visualization tool. There could be an automatic feedback loop where the tool points out errors and the model fixes them so that the user doesn't have to ask explicitly.
Well, in a non-side effecting world these could still be a function of the state of the computer. mousePos(initialState) could for example be used to get the mousePos in a given state (functional reactive programming may also be interesting for you)

Another approach would be to divide the mutating, side-effecting world from the pure one by introducing a wrapper around the former. Let’s call that wrapper IO and create a few helper functions that can sequence these IO wrappers one after the other. The important part is that such a wrapper can provide a value, but that can only ever be read/seen by the next element in a sequence. So any mutating program can be described as such sequence and be executed at the end, while the program you wrote is perfectly pure. This is basically what a monad is, and a haskell function for reading the mouse position would look like mousePos() -> IO(Pos(int, int)) (in some hybrid type notation)
Physicists like to call this kind of sum “finite”, to make it sound closer to infinity, which sounds better than “nonzero”, which makes it sound too close to zero.

Define much.

For big businesses, PSPs are well under 1% for both debit and credit cards, as long as said cards are issued in the EEA.

With interchange capped at 0.2/0.3 respectively and scheme fees a little over 0.1, PSPs are can be profitable at 0.6~0.7%, a fraction of the situation in other regions, especially the US.
Try to reach Lucas Radaelli, a blind Google developer and an amazing person. I am sure he can give some good tips. His twitter handle is @lucasradaelli
Mastodon isn't a public company or a VC-funded startup. It doesn't need perpetual user growth, nor, I suspect, do many of its current users or developers particularly want that. At most it just needs a critical mass of people who are interested in what it has to offer so that it doesn't die as a project/community.

I don't use Mastodon (or Twitter) but it seems to me like Mastodon was never really intended to be a pure Twitter clone, and what "normal people" want in this regard isn't really relevant. What's the point in trying to emulate a platform that feels icky and doomed, anyway?

> I don't see how Sun's could have successfully navigated the Linux on commodity x86

Sorry for necromancing your comment, but we only need to look at Apple - they make RISC-based Unix workstations today. For servers it's always been a game of either providing something others can't have (think IBM mainframes and POWER systems) or competing in price with razor-thin margins. When Sun started making x86 boxes, I knew it was game over.
Problem is I don't know what is the question. Maybe we should build another AI to devise a question.
Can be, sure. But in practice that's not very useful:

1. Client libraries may not send keys in a defined order, so the key that tells the server what method to call might end up in the middle or end of the payload.

2. The vast majority of default or common JSON parsers out there for the various languages and frameworks most people use just don't support incremental parsing.

Your post isn't particularly relevant, since it proscribes a different way of structuring your payloads than JSON-RPC (and others). It doesn't matter if these others are "wrong"; they exist, and have wide support, so people will gravitate to them, rather than rolling their own.

I haven't done any C++ since 2015ish but your link seems incredibly outdated.

Sure you'll learn some C++ syntax, but you'll learn the C++ from 20 years ago, not the modern C++ with smart pointers and all that stuff which is basically turning it into a new language.
I am interested in both these things. Can you tell me where I might find out more about both of them? Thank you.
If you actually have a manifesto of sorts I wouldn't mind reading it.
>Back when hiring artists and writers meant going to actual creative writing

Not always. In the 80's,a lot of people in my country, Spain, were self-taught. They loved computers but they also loved reading books and lots of comic books.
In the 90's if you were into computers it wasn't weird to be a fanfiction writer or manga sketcher to copy some Dragon Ball drawings.
I finally could understand how a capacitor can "DC block" anything. I thought that in the moment AC starts to pass and capacitor become conduct, there will be nothing obvious that would block the bias to pass along, since it's in the same "signal".

The answer is clear using this spintronics analogy.

Tension is anything wanting to move. Since the cap charge up with the input tension, eventually the tension become zero (in resistor's point of view), like force vectors pointing to each other. Any change of bias will move the resistor by the difference between input tension and capacitor tension, until equilibrium is reached again. For now on, the resistor will swing back and forth exactly the AC part of the source.
These people are basically throwing insults at you. Ignore these fools and report them to moderation.
Maintaining the existing infrastructure - I would have thought "duh", but Oroville demonstrated not - but there's also various river outflow and levee systems to stop water immediately washing out to the sea without being slowed to allow seeping into the ground reservoirs.

When (if?) the dust settles, I'd love to watch a technology focused documentary to hear the historic retelling of all the python 2 to 3 events. It started before I started programming, I don't program in python much, and thus I don't have a ton of context.

If anyone has any good resources I could browse that might help me understand the full story feel free to share.
I'm working on a project to use 3DS devices as a Terminal and IoT device with RTMES as the OS. Still in pretty early stage (aka nothing to see here) but used 3DS's are cheaper then RPI's have wireless, a Screen a keyboard (touchscreen), infrared, microphone and speaker and even a UPS (battery) plus two different Cores, so it is a pretty powerfull Device for stuff like that.

$2 isn't really the incentive to have a youtube channel though. People enjoy making something and sharing it with the world. Most people who do X as a hobby don't make even $2 for almost all X: art, music, fishing, whatever, and yet they still do it.

You usually have to go up to "serious amateur" level before you make even token amounts of money (which still doesn't cover your tools much less your time), and 1k subscribers for a video hobbiest is a low bar for that.

HTTP GET being idempotent is an agreed-upon contract. If you violate it, that's up to you, but that would be a red flag to me as to the quality of your APIs.
a box is any closed container — a cave, a hole in a tree, a dense forest

Though the light I think would almost always lead the way out in these cases
Migrating where there’s a 1-1 mapping of old API to new API is easy, such as the print to print() change. The hard part is when there’s a 1-N mapping, where a single name in the old API becomes multiple names in the new API. These are the most useful changes to make, because they can split apart unrelated concepts that had been erroneously represented by the same object, but require a human to determine which use case applies.

For python2, the str class could either contain a sequence of characters, or could contain a sequence of bytes. These are often conflated when using ASCII encoded text, but are very different for any other encoding. In python3, these are represented by the str class for a sequence of characters, and by the bytes class for a sequence of bytes. It’s so much nicer to work with, but required manually separating out the earlier use case.
> Erlang […] whose internal functions are 'pure' .

Why is that a good thing? You can easily reason with mutable code on a small, local scope, yet the real hard part will be the interaction of all those messages. Sure, erlang has plenty of safeguards for those as well, but I don’t see what would be lost if local mutability would be allowed.
I started with a physical diary because I'm obsessed with Muji pens and enjoyed the ritual of putting pen to paper without distractions. Later on I transcribed all the old entries to a journaling app because I filled the notebook and wanted to throw it away. I still use pen and paper sometimes. It feels more "intentional" somehow.
That and even with version control you will always have to keep an eye out for accidental deletion of the last bit of whitespace on any code block. It's a pretty easy mistake to overlook without context.
Honestly curious if it would have possible to make it better/faster.
10 years of writing code (PHP, JS, SQL, Basic) without knowing anything about CS, then realizing the intuitions I developed are beautifully explained by existing CS concepts (thanks to someone’s post on Reddit, I think). I was a professional engineer for years before understanding complexity, algorithms, data structures, memory management, “CS”.

After dipping my toes in online, I picked up the Red Book, then a bunch of functional programming books, then a bunch more books. This unlocked Scala, Haskell, and other languages that I now love. I went to meetups to practice Leetcode problems, gave a few talks on data structures, then started my own meetup. As I learned more, grokking types was the best part: it was an experience that kept blowing my mind, every step of the way.

I then wrote an O’Reilly book myself, hoping that a few others might have the same experience I did.

I still wouldn’t say I use CS concepts much day to day. But they do come up maybe once a week, and they do give me a deeper appreciation of programming than I had before.

Some birds also get confused by glass, although they do seem better able to consider an alternative (e.g. an open door) when one presents itself. My dataset is the small number that sometimes get into my shed when the door is open.

Tangential glass/bird related story time. I occasionally see small birds pecking at their reflection in glass. I once saw a Long-Tailed Tit pecking at my shed window and watched it for a few seconds. And then it went one way, and the reflection went the other! That's when I realised that there was a bird on the inside as well. Cue rescue mission (opening the shed door).
Playing devil's advocate, I'm honestly not sure how I'd behave if I dropped a $10 million personal fortune[1] (1986 dollars; $27.2 million buying power today) for controlling stake in a venture and execution wasn't going as I had envisioned. Being a "jerk" might strike me as an acceptable trade-off if that meant it got targeted impediments out of the way without irreparable damage to the whole.
