Oh definitely - I can't say that I've had stellar experiences with Yelp in the past for restaurants, barbers, etc, from the consumer side, and I hear it is much worse as a business. I was just very surprised that in this niche Google performed so poorly and Yelp so well. I wouldn't go on to generalize from this experience though.
No matter how you spin it TDD is busy work for programmers. If its your only documentation then fine. Otherwise you have to write twice as much code for something that will be deprecated in a year.
> I deal with them every day these days in my professional career…

How to explain counter-examples then? I have three children, two of whom are university graduates, successful, employed, living independently. The third is a high school student and is a highly accomplished violinist. Have I as a parent failed them, and have their schools failed them by never laying a hand on them in anger?

Yes, children are impressionable. Physical assault leaves an impression. The message it imprints is authoritarian solutions to problems. Dominance plays, essentially.
It's sad to watch all these layoffs but canceling underperforming products/divisions completely makes a lot more sense than decimating the company as a whole.
Sorry dude but your argument here is extremely weak. You need to establish why the customer support couldn't refer the call. "Crank calls are a thing" really doesn't cut it.
Then, the competition is working as expected, i.e. Ryzen had ECC unofficially for some time, now Intel has it. There're plenty of other ways to segment users, i.e. Memory Channels, PCIe lanes, etc.
Python's aggressive deprecation schedule is a major disadvantage compared to languages with greater stability and backward compatibility.

Making things better for dozens of maintainers at the expense of millions of users is the wrong tradeoff.

Apple does something similar (e.g. with Swift and with iOS), offloading a constant support burden onto developers.

EDIT: I have no idea how this was seen as an attack comment.

First of all your question is terse and I think you need to expand a bit more so we can understand exactly what you want to know. For example are there any of the very few examples in this thread that you do not agree with? As always when this is discussed people get into the "holier than thou" argument some thing like: "they are not for diversity because they do not think my aspects are important enough". Feel free to use them as good examples of why diversity is needed.

I think you can find at least four arguments for diversity by reading the negative comments in this thread.

After CSAM case I lost trust on any big corporation, the trend for digital control and spying is publicly announced by governments. The global planners in Davos are saying it clearly.

I had a hard gripe with Apple since 2015, sadly the UX design team needed to work with Sketch. After CSAM, all developers in the office use Manjaro. We use macs only for the design related workflows.

The irony is that DEIs prioritising one group over all others is inherently racist, IMO.

Also, it probably creates contempt among the discriminated groups, as the system is unjust towards them. Ie, there's no longer an equal equal opportunity at landing the job, since one side has an unfair advantage.

So, instead of bringing people together, these forced quotas just push people more apart.

I do understand that until 20 years ago black people probably had less chances to land these jobs due being disadvantaged by educational systems, but I think that's kinda behind us since universities also prioritised PoC admissions for a while now.

I'm lucky to not have been affected by this personally, and don't know many who have. So, maybe it's irrational to think they discriminate against other groups (because it's difficult to find people to fill diversity roles in the first place). I don't know. It's a very complicated world we created for ourselves.
Dave Thomas, one of the co-creators and co-signer of the agile manifesto has a great talk on the topic.

I cannot understand how HN did this with almost no "community guidelines"

I would probably word it as simple to follow guidelines and adding to that is a remarkable moderator that is mostly hands-off. There are also many people that have been here long enough to flag the topics they know will descend into chaos most of the time. But that is just my take, there is probably more to it.
The same way any other infix operator would, the operator has to have an expression on either side so the first % can't be an operator, and you can't have two expressions next to each other anyway i.e. you can't have "x x" or "f(x) x" or "% %"., so the second % has to be the % operator.

Definitely looks strange and could be confusing at first, but the syntax is unambiguous to parse. Add a comment, write "|> (%) % 2" perhaps, or just create a mod function and write "|> mod(%, 2)".

It will be a VERY deserving fate, since the community is always busy fighting amongst themselves and the maintainers are conservative to the point of being unreasonable.

Python has real problems that need addressing, and that was true 10 years ago as well, packaging included. Pretending this isn't the case makes more serious techies just laugh at Python, and it's fully deserved.

Three Men Plead Guilty to Conspiring to Provide Material Support to a Plot to Attack Power Grids in the United States

Sure, we don’t know about this particular attack, but we know that white supremacist groups have already been committing such crimes and have had longstanding, well-documented and widely-publicized plans to do so.
Last para is pretty relevant: "But it’s important to put this event in context as well. Attacks on the power grid are relatively rare, and they fall pretty low on the list of threats, even behind cybersecurity and supply chain issues. The number one threat to the grid in nearly every place in the US? The weather. If you experience an outage of any length, it's many times more likely to be mother nature than a bad actor with a gun"

Taskwarrior [0] has different dates you can set that allow some of the features you want.
There’s a scheduled date (earliest date to work on task), wait date (hide task until date), due date (must be completed by date), until date (when to drop it since it’s too late to do now).

If none of those work you could create a user defined attribute for your desired feature [1].

On that note, what kind of hardware/connection does that require? I run Plex on a rather old Synology NAS at home, and it's great for streaming at home at original quality even up to 4K but can get a bit sluggish when it tries to scale the video one way or another.

Then I go out of my home and it's unwatchable when streaming even original quality, which is odd because I have 20Mbit up with fiber to the premise at home and probably getting 60Mbit+ where I'm trying to watch from.

That's mostly 1080p I've been trying to watch, so 10Mbit should be sufficient. I don't know why the hardware would become a problem only when I leave home.

Never gonna happen. Python's explosion has been through data science and ml, which is based entirely around calling Fortran/C/C++/etc.

> Otherwise, no progress will be made at the language level and Python will die out once C becomes legacy language, replaced by safer systems programming languages.

I assume you mean Rust here. Do you think python can't already call rust? It's been able to do that for the better part of a decade.

I mean, this is once of python's main selling points. It doesn't matter what your numeric/scientific library is written in, python can call it, and it's vaguely convenient to write (depending on your taste for comprehensions).

Why would the python ecosystem shoot themselves in the foot like that?
Yes. But the hype hasn't come a reality
> You don't /need/ it, though, so this is neither here nor there.

The whole point of this article and discussion says otherwise. Don't come to me to complain about that. Your comment should be a top-level comment complaining at the author.

I fully agree with the author that ECC should not be reserved for expensive computers, of course, but I'm just here to point out that W680 is not a response to the author's concerns at all, period. W680 is a continuation of Intel's status quo.

> If your memory is going bad, the chance of multiple bit failure is going to be much higher than the stray bit flip from other causes

It's completely possible for a single DRAM cell to go bad permanently.

> But this blog post is an argument for ZFS

ZFS won't save you if what you tell it to put into a file is wrong. And I think that corrupting ZFS' own in-RAM data structures voids your ZFS warranty.

> and regular backups.

Of course you should have regular backups. But do you really feel like spending hours restoring from a backup (and then maybe weeks finding things you didn't restore)? Do you feel like trying to guess how far back you have to go to get to a good backup of a corrupted file? Do you want to lose whatever new work got corrupted between the time your memory failed and the time you finally noticed it?

OP's machine was corrupting data for weeks. You can't just roll all your work back to several weeks ago. Most of us can't, anyway.

You need backups and ECC.

> I had a drive that had corruption and I thought went bad. Turns out, bad SATA cable.

If a bad cable did that, something wasn't doing SATA CRC checking the way it was supposed to (or wasn't reacting to detected CRC errors the way it should have). Similar in spirit to ECC checking for memory.

> My speeds were not at all what I expected. Turns out... bad ethernet cable.

It probably got slow because of retransmissions. If there hadn't been CRCs on both the Ethernet layer and higher layers, it could possibly have just silently corrupted your data.

You need to cover as much of a computer system as you can with error detection and correction, or you always lose. Even one big failure in a lifetime can pay for a lot of ECC RAM.

Not all of them, afaik the am4 processors with graphics don't unless you have a pro branded version.

The easiest way is to induce an error. Some of the memtest tools try? But also, you can tweak memory voltage and timing to make things less reliable, and you should be able to get errors and error reporting as a result.

I wouldn't say they are less intellectually capable. But the number of black people who grow up in an environment of computers, engineering, etc... is much much lower than the comparable number of white or asian young men who grow up in such environments.

This is also the reason why there are far few women software engineers than men. It is not about their capabilities, physical, intellectual or otherwise. It is about their environment where they grow up in - some people grow up with programming computers from very early age because their parents do something similar, most of these (by a wide margin) are white or asian boys.

I do wonder about the details of his life. Can't find info on his father, only his mother who is described as a dermatologist, which is interesting. Was anyone in his family well-connected in the tech industry?

If his mother was regularly employed as a specialist then the family being high income is a given. Sam posted on Twitter that he received a Macintosh from "my parents" when he was 8 in the early 90s, another sign of high income.
