We disagree about whitespace blocks. That's fair.

> If you’re having trouble with them, use a programmers editor with indentation guides like notepad++ or geany.

Yes, of course. Python makes that pretty much essential, which is one of my complaints about Python. A language that requires a special editor is a language that is deficient, IMO.

There are a ton of other, more minor, aspects of Python that makes it unpleasant for me. It's not just the whitespace thing. That's just the one that grinds my gears the most, because it's the one that slows me down the most.

But note what I haven't said here -- I haven't said that Python sucks. I only said that I hate using it, despite being pretty fluent in it and having used it for years.
i agree those are tragic, but those are not the people i am talking about
Well, my pessimism got the best of me. I'm guessing states are getting wise to these sorts of things and putting making the incentives performance based now which is encouraging!

It’s not Tesla’s fault that CBS runs a story every time someone crashes their Model Y. If you’re reading about a Tesla crash odds are it wasn’t on autopilot. The news is happy to run the story either way because it generates clicks.
As a user of command line Unix, and desktop computers since before mice were common, I use arrow keys and page up/page down. When mice became common, I used scroll bar more often. For speed, keystrokes almost always beat mouse movements.

Surprisingly, only in the last few years did I really give the mouse wheel a try, due to a piece of software I was forced to use on a Chromebook. Now I use it frequently.

Track pad or the little "pencil eraser" control on some laptops (in the middle of the keyboard) are my least used methods.
Tesla execs should be in jail for this.
The main point is people in Northern lattitudes needs most of their energy in the Winter, especially winter nights. Its a very different problem to Southern states where peak energy use is hot sunny days.

As for distortions the biggest problem with retail users is that panels have changed the market but people still expect to use the old rules. Eg be self sufficient 320 days a year but expect eletricity on demand at the same low rates on the few days they need the grid. That isn't scalable and home solar people are getting an unfair advantage from the system, which is why utilities (rightfully) dont like it.
Perhaps. The USA EV market outpaces Norway by a pretty large margin, and Tesla leads the US EV market in a similar way to Norway, I guess it depends on what data point is being looked for specifically. Relatively speaking Norway is a pretty tiny market to make large scale indications off of.
I think you're being naive. Microsoft has spent 1000s of engineering years on their build system. You aren't going to just replicate that in a week.
I couldn't agree more. The "dog whistle" concept is somewhat brilliant as an iron-clad logic trap though. Any time anyone is saying something you don't want to engage with, you can ignore everything they're saying and claim they're really saying something else. There is absolutely nothing the person can do to change your mind, because you can make their words mean whatever you want!

The exact second you stop engaging with what people are saying, and start deciding what they actually mean, is the exact second you stop all learning and all growth.

These terms "dog whistle", "normalizing", "shifting the overton window" are all just means of being able to ignore the argument itself in favor of ad hominem.
If Alaska would be a separate state maybe there would be a reason for concern /s

I think 'resource curse' got it a bit backward although effect is straightforward and obvious - it allows a-holes aka bottom of society to rise, gives them extra booster rockets to rise fast (ie capture diamond mine, or oil fields like ISIL and sell via Turkey which was their primary income).

Norway got it right because well its Norway, similar would happen if it was found ie in Switzerland. Some basic human decency ingrained deep in population and thus also in politics and those who set things up for future. If that's not present and society is more everybody-for-themselves, then yes it becomes the curse and more burden than benefit.
That's not "the NoVA thing", really. It is a fact of life when you have 30-year fixed-rate mortgages.

Rates are up. Buyers don't want to buy at the same prices with the new rates. Sellers don't want to sell at the lower prices. What you have is a drop in liquidity.
This is the real answer, but we're too used to the game of wealth redistribution, where we're all secretly hoping someone else will pay for what we want. It's very antisocial, it externalizes the costs of your actions onto everyone else.

I'm more worried about the idiots driving 80mph and texting. Police don't seem to care or they are just so overwhelmed they have given up. I would welcome autonomous cars.
Self-driving is not going to be better than the average driver for a long time.

But 2 things.

1) average doesn't matter.

There's unlikely to be extremely bad self-driving cars.

2) the road & nature of transportation will adapt to self-driving cars so that they don't need to be as good as they need to be on current roads, and eventually it won't matter (but that's like 20 years in the future).

If you would've looked at cities when the car was invented, you'd have thought that cars would never catch on. Cities adapted to the car. They'll adapt to self-driving. But it's going to take a long time.

Until you get arrested after someone saw you squatting/building/hunting/farming/whatever on some vacant field owned by some private entity or the BLM.
I am eagerly looking forward to a day when all vehicles (or the vast majority) are autonomous. Not only would that allow drivers to get back all the time they would otherwise devote to operating their vehicles, but also it opens up a world of accessibility to blind people, the elderly, and others who (for whatever reason) can't drive themselves right now.

And there are network effects! If practically all cars are autonomous, they can talk to each other in sophisticated ways that are not feasible for manual operators, who largely rely on very rudimentary signaling (e.g. turn signals, flashing your brights, one-finger salute, etc.). This is fantastic for both safety and efficiency.

That said, what I think we should fear right now is not autonomous cars themselves, but misplaced expectations by drivers about how reliable the technology is right now. As long as everyone accurately understands their limitations, we can both limit our own risks and prevent the sort of backlash we're seeing now.
You don't think the news media deserves any thanks? It's well known that the media locks on to anything that causes fear as it's the number one driver of clicks/attention, and it's been a deluge all over the incidents the last couple of years.

I'm not making a value judgment on whether this is good or bad (I truly don't know), but it is important to know.
It looks like a description of Speculative Sampling. There's a recent paper from DeepMind about this in the context of LLM [0], although it's not a completely new idea of course.

The potential for speedup according to their paper is closer to 2x than 10x however.

I agree the evidence presented ironically made simple or extended pounding narratives more plausible. Especially since the alternative presented at the end is an "advanced civilization before the Egyptian dynasties". Self discredited as typical for youtube.

Would be interesting to hear more about "weakening with alkali" mentioned in the comments.
I tried to be open minded, but after my friend demoed his FSD "beta" to me I want these things banned. It drove worse than a drunk student driver and I legitimately feared for my life and made him stop after only a few minutes.

"Beta testing" such things on the general public is morally abhorrent. Let Musk by some land in a desert and build his own mock town to test his toys, but get it off the public roads.

I'm not a fan of this. Any chance Mullvad would offer a service plan where the money I'm paying them does NOT go to the support of Tor?
Yes.. I mean at Amazon. The WBR (when I was there) was held on Monday at the director level, Tuesday at the VP and Wednesday at the S-team.

The following is purely my opinion:

The constant churn of employees and directors at the lower levels meant the data is mostly massaged or explained away.

The really good old-timers would focus on exceptions and single anomalies - much to the frustration of poor engineers and managers. But they intuitively knew that those small issues can snowball and catching them early helped mitigating the issue. But as the systems grew more complex and the number of teams expanded massively, the feel for the pulse became more mechanical and remote. New managers, directors and VPs did not come from a similar culture and the constant politics sidelined the more experienced employees who quit. Once that knowledge is lost, it takes multiple years to get it back and I do not think Amazon got that mojo anymore.

It felt more mechanical and ritualistic, rather than genuinely trying to uncover issues (which is when I quit). It is Goodhart's law at the next level.
> why always repeatedly write the same comment about not going “all in on github” in these threads? what is goal of writing this hundred+ times?

Because I can. How many more times does a service need to go down in less than a month to deem it unacceptable for any use? Unless you think paying for downtime is acceptable?

> i dislike github quite alot but this does not achieve anything.

That is not my problem since I saw the problem years ago and chose to self-host instead. Rather than others complain to GitHub, they might as well self-host instead for reliability.

If you can setup a simple SaaS website, you can easily self-host a Gitlab / Gitea instance for 1 to 5 people. It's not that hard.

> no one else is saying to go all in on github so what is this even reply to?

So you didn't read this then?

>> We're all in on Github actions these days but there was a time when we used to maintain our own Jenkins instance. [0]

>> At this point, our self-hosted CI and code review tooling has had significantly better uptime for the past year. [1]

The schadenfreude for GitHub's unreliability and some of its fans celebrating monthly down time only makes it hilarious to watch.

Here's one part:

>(f) protect the availability of essential functions, including the resilience against and mitigation of denial of service attacks;

>Did the EU just require me to make software that can withstand (unspecified) denial of service attacks? Something that is mathematically proven impossible?

That does not seem like the intent of the paragraph. My first thought is that it's a poorly worded (though legalese oftentimes needs to be) way of saying that devices should not easily be turned into DDOS nodes. But it might also just say that even if it's under DDOS attack, there should be a way to operate essential functions still, which is very much possible with some compartmentalization.
Holy shit. I had completely forgotten about this site. You just opened a giant nostalgia door.
It depends on the content and the page. I do like using space bar rather than the page down key.
>Do you have example of this?

How about the push to rename words in technology that have been in use for decades, like changing the default git repo from master to main.

or the parent comment I replied to originally -- "This is what bothers me about the recent obsession with pronouns - I have enough trouble remembering people's names; and now I am also asked to remember how to modify my grammar or lexicon when in vicinity of a given person? " for which there is not even any social indicators of this, and for a given person could change at any given time from week to week or day to day. A person that changes their pronouns daily seems to me to have an unrealistic expectation that people will be able to keep track of that.

I’ve started to use emacs in my computer sciences school 30 years ago (EPITA in Paris). The Lab was surrounded by Mips, Sun, Alpha, … great time.

The only weakness of Emacs (according to me) was the lack of a good major mode (module) to edit web template : imagine editing a php block inside a javascript part embedded inside html.

After testing many modes, I started to develop web-mode (http://web-mode.org) that is now compatible with about thirty template engines. What a wondeful trip it was to discover the power of Lisp and what a pleasure it is everyday to know exactly what happens when I hit a key while editing an html file.

I am the only Emacs user in my company (kernix.com) but nothing would make me switch. I can not imagine using an editor that would not open in less than a second (or that would eat hundreds of Mo of RAM)

I Hope Emacs will see a usage surge with the inclusion of tree sitter… editing in emacs will be even faster and more robust. Not sure tree sitter is suitted for multi languages files … but for this you have web-mode ;)

Recutils is great, but it needs a rewrite, I think.
From the second sentence of the article:

I don't know where you got the idea that this proposal suggest unbounded fines. Do you have a source for it?
Here's a choice for you all:

(1) copyright as the IP protection for software, with cleaned up laws and procedures about "insignificant changes" and "derivative works" -- or --

(2) the current patent aystem, post CLS Bank, which has eliminated a lot of business method patents and some, but not all, software patents.

The car is self driving, while the driver monitors and is responsible for its operation at all times. How is that a difficult concept? The car tells the driver this every single time autopilot is engaged.

Why do people work so hard to intentionally misunderstand what self driving and autopilot mean? (they don't mean autonomous)
> There are a lot of genetic factors that convey an inherent advantage. Do we control for all of them or is this one special?

Yes, testosterone is special because it's a huge advantage. Like, the next closest factor doesn't even come close across most sports. Some women who were born female have naturally high testosterone levels and are barred from competing in women's categories.

> I think this video does a good job of highlighting the contradictions inherent in framing this as an issue of fairness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9YAFYIBOU

Yes, I've seen it, and it does do a good job. Notice the argument being made:

1. Sports is entertainment.

2. Sports is entertaining to the extent that the outcome is unpredictable.

3. We keep it unpredictable by establishing fairness so no one has privileged knowledge of the outcome.

The extreme examples she cites of unfairness were not entertaining exactly because the outcome was predictable. Given sports is to be entertaining due to unpredictability, preserving fairness is critical.
I don't get the important people put on that.

Emacs takes 10 seconds to open. Firefox takes 15. Yes, those are wasted seconds, but it's not like they are anywhere close to the largest wastes of my day. (Hell, I'm writing a comment in HN right now!)

Actually Norway did not break the curse.

Their economy is pretty much exclusively oil-based, very few other industries.

If you run the numbers their fund will fund current expenses for only a decade or so if oil stopped completely. Which isn't really enough time to start other industries for their citizens to have jobs.

So they're basically completely dependent on oil, with maybe a short runway for afterwards. They did not break the curse.
I don't in any way support drunk driving, but I do think it's unfair to frame it as "a few bucks." That would only be true if you were within walking distance and sharing a cab with others. For most of the situations I've been in, it's more like $60 plus a big gamble that there will be any rides available. In many areas Uber/Lyft are the only options and during low hours (particularly early morning 12 to 2) there aren't any drivers.

Tesla still CANNOT get their auto wipers to work correctly. This has been a feature on a Mazda 3 I had in 2007 and it worked flawlessly.
There is a difference between theoretical worst case and practical experience. Whether the direct-update experience or the event sourcing experience on this point is better depends on a lot of factors (many of which are dimensions of scale.) Neither is categorically ideal, you've got to understand the particular application.

Of course, when using an ACID RDBMS, you can also very trivially use a CQRS/event-sourcing approach for some flows with append-only event log tables and a separate process applying them to query tables that other clients only read and direct update for other flows.
Probably not. The US has huge and readily accessible lithium reserves in the Salton Sea in California, the issues with extracting it are the availability of water and the cost of environmental management around the site. We don't need other countries' lithium, as such.

Well, the word "woman" can mean both "human adult female" and "human female", but I think anyone accepting one of these definitions would accept both, so that's not controversial IMO.

Probably we should look at potential over one's life, likely at (or even before) birth, otherwise the same could be argued for "what if a child dies before they're fertile"?
I'm currently operating a very small (10s of millions of rows, ~20GB of total data) low-write MySQL DB with a couple different tables. I'm new to RDBs in general and am using MySQL because my thought was any "real" DB would be better than our previous "pipeline", which was just doing all our data filtering/merging with CSVs and Pandas in Python (extremely slowly, and frustrating).

I like the simplicity of DuckDB's proposal, but haven't seen much info about how fast to expect it to be in comparison with traditional RDBs, for smaller, mostly-read-only applications.
