Its always struck me as a little odd that their recruitment (at least, their public recruitment) is focused on young people, new grads, etc. I wonder why they dont publicly try to recruit people who have been in industries or domains for years, eg pick up people working at Qualcomm who already have good reason to be traveling across the world and meeting people.
Yes, aside from selling. It's important for archival efforts.

In the case of Reddit and Wikipedia, it's also an important part of how the volunteer moderators/contributors run the site. On Reddit there are a huge selection of community-owned moderation bots that monitor subreddits for posts matching rules.
Yeah that can work for a lot of things!
That's not why it's hard to beat the market.

It's hard to beat the market, because people have way too short horizon. Take your example here - it's absolutely meaningless what's up or down or flat over a 2 weeks period...

The reality in the stock market is, that you can make money investing long term (let's say >5 years horizon) in good or great companies, running well a very short term strategy (market making, hft, arbitrage), but usually you cannot do any money when your horizon is somewhere in between. And the issue is, for most people, that's the case....
For consumers: immediate actions and increased interests, then evaluate the results.

For corps: Eyeing, evaluating, assessing, discussing, “early stages”, “interesting take”, and literally anything to NOT take actions.
There are Python, C#, and I believe JavaScript options. Can't totally avoid yaml but you don't have to use it that much.
That assumes cooperation between reddit and third party devs.

Telling the devs about the change 2 months before applying it, low balling the price at first, smiting them at every corner, while not having any room for schedule adjustment... is just unreasonable for a change of that order of magnitude.

Reddit shows absolutely no willingness to make that relationship work, so it's kinda dead whichever way you look at it.

k3s is a single binary install that unpacks a lot of k8s parts for you and uses sqlite instead of etcd for the data store. So it's simpler to spin up and manage, not necessarily simpler to use.
The idea that reddit mods are some great asset to the site is just strange, IMO. To me, they're one of the worst things about the website.

Truer words have never been written about reddit. It is a cesspit of censorship with tiny islands of insights.

One of the subreddits I subbed to has gone dark and I cannot access it so I can confirm this is not true.
GP's point is that Python didn’t “pick” one but that it’s probably an accident of how the parser was implemented. It would see the `[]`, allocate a new object, then greedily assign it to the “variable”.

The whole “tradeoff” argument doesn’t make sense when you consider that Python is the odd one out here with early binding. In fact, there’s been so many bugs with it that they had to invent a whole new syntax to fix it.

When one says `intParam += 2`, why should they expect that to modify the default parameter? Yet when the default is a list, all of a sudden it’s fine. Python breaks the principle of least astonishment with default parameters, and it’s frustrating hearing people defend such a thing.
Reddit banned Reddiw's (alternative API) subreddit and author's Reddit account
I get what you're saying, but that's a bad approach for all concerned.

For Reddit Inc, it's bad because they'll under-charge for things where they could capture more money, and over-charge for things that are helpful to their platform but not directly profitable, like moderator tools.

It's bad for developers because it forces them to deal with having a revenue model well before they're ready to. A lot of people just like building things, and only worry about revenue once it's successful enough to matter.

It's bad for users because all sorts of tools that would be free now have to charge them. Instead of somebody just hacking together a moderation tool suddenly has to find a way to pay for it.

The headless case is easy enough; in each content blob you include an "is_ad" field. Tools that are user agents display that content. Tools that aren't are free to ignore it under the TOS.

One consideration is that hiring people at the start of their working lives minimizes the number of people they need to trust with sensitive information. Another: the younger the person, the less averse they tend to be to risk their lives.

Japan is not a "24/7 economy". The konbini are 24/7, but they're the only places that are. The trains shut down at ~1AM, and most stores and restaurants close at 9PM or so. 24/7 places are really an exception.
Reddit won't change API pricing despite outrage and blackouts
I use it in conjunction with an adblocker.

For sites that I repeatedly visit, I pay for them. Substacks and local newspapers for example.

The developer of Apollo has no interest in working with Reddit after this cluster fuck.
MIDI has never been userland in multitasking environments. It's a real-time, low-latency interface between some number of running processes and some number of hardware ports: the timing glitches and weird buffer behaviors you'll get from mixing together different hardware are totally kernel's wheelhouse.

If you meant General MIDI synthesis, that's a different spec and related only in that the MIDI message encoding is reused to describe sequences.
10% is pretty what the losses of long distance HVDC will be. You are at the point of diminishing returns in terms of efficiency at that point.

Not to mention that this is recoverable energy. Liquid hydrogen is literally cryogenic energy storage. You can easily find methods of shrinking losses ever further.

Considering Toyota is literally making a hydrogen powered Corolla to go racing, your claim about cost is pure Ludditism. It time for you to stop living in the past. Hydrogen cars will be cheaper than BEVs to build and likely no more expensive to run.

Perhaps its time you ask yourself a simple question: Once all of the facilities have been built, what is the margin cost of further production? It is in fact basically zero. This is for both wind and solar, but also anything made exclusively from it like green hydrogen. In fact, hydrogen could be the cheapest of them all, since it is not limited by the problems of intermittency and long-duration storage.

As a result, it is a matter of when, not if you'll see hydrogen for $1.5/kg. And eventually even less than that.

PS: Your post is just pure anti-progress. Imagine being so offended by the idea of advancements in green energy. So many of your type are just brainwashed BEV fanatics. It's pure short-sightedness.

Would it be the case that a lower grade or even waste silicon blanks can be used to do the power component?

Can a lower level of 'scale' be used, to achieve the power lines, and so more assured/fault-tolerant production?

If it has to lock-step the generational burdens of masking and technology, and is unable to capitalise otherwise unused silicon, it doubles costs in those inputs. Not that it doesn't mean it can't deliver both improved power budget and better signals (less interference) but it might even be capable of becoming a lower cost option, if the bonding/positioning/lapping processes aren't too expensive, and its input costs and consequences for wiring plane costs are better than the alternatives to boot!
Is it fully backwards compatible?
That's never really an excuse for lock-in. If they are so superior, they wouldn't need to worry about developers not using them, right?

Using tools as a way to control developers is just disgusting.
I'm not sure I agree with that, as it's hard to ignore Facebook.

Facebook is astoundingly profitable, and is the canonical example of network effects. Almost everyone I've ever known is or was on Facebook.

So I don't consider Network Effect Businesses to be terrible as for-profits in and of themselves.

The issue perhaps is that there is an expectation that they can become Google or Facebook.

Now we have a generation raised on social media that doesn't require your real name, maybe we will see a new platform reach Facebook levels.

TikTok and YouTube are obviously huge, but slightly different again to Facebook.

As an aside, people talk about how amazing Tik Tok is, but in the end, it's really just the creators uploading content that make it work.

Facebook captured Advertising dollars, in part, by investing in Ad infrastructure and building tools that companies could use to create targeted Ads. Every other platform, apart from AdWords, felt unfinished, especially Twitter!

There are several posts about ethanol recently on ycombinator. I did not participate in them. But if you read them, you'll find out that anything based on biofuels is pure greenwashing and not serious environmental policy.
It says they were involved in something in western sahara? Not sure if you call that a "war" however.
Almost all of S&P 500's recent rally has come from 5 companies - Nvidia, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon (https://www.axios.com/2023/06/01/sp500-tech-companies-stock-...). Are they all "AI companies"? Sure, but they also do basically everything else. So it's still a pretty flimsy correlation.

A more reasonable explanation is that there was an overcorrection in big tech valuations during the downturn a couple years ago (while they are all continuing to make record profits quarter after quarter), and now after layoffs and cost cutting the market is slowly normalizing in their favor.
That literally is a battery. What do you think nickel-hydrogen batteries are?

PS: People are hostile because they own a BEV, or own shares in a BEV company, or have some other financial motivation. They are openly hostile to anything that could disrupt their business or lifestyle. In fact, we really should just be more direct in confronting this. Hydrogen is straight-up disrupting the conventional battery market, and the opposition is running a FUD campaign to stop it.
Which is why I think languages need UTF-8 identifiers and arbitrary UTF-8 operators.

Most people working on webdev in the USA should never touch them and should feel free to ban them in their linters.

But people who speak and write foreign languages with other alphabets and domain experts and people who just want to use π or µ or ∆v or whatever because they feel it makes their code clearer should be able to.

Mathematicians who have PhDs should be able to write arbitrarily complicated heiroglyphical operators that I probably won't choose to understand in this lifetime. And that's okay, I don't need a language that attempts to guarantee that I can always read it, that is probably literally impossible and just constrains it unnecessarily.

As technology facilitates pushing this practice further up in the hiring pipeline, even to the point of initial contact, this presents a grim prospect for anyone who is already facing career headwinds due to ageism, let alone any of the other -isms. Ageism is a threat to to everyone regardless of gender, race, national origin etc. The makeup industry is going to be thrilled.
The term “multinational corporation” is a modern concept. It is not really applicable to the period in which the English Virginia Company or the Dutch West India Company existed, as the global economic and political system was fundamentally different.

They certainly didn’t have much to do with the political system of the United States. English Republicanism and Whig liberalism is where the roots of American democracy lay.
I am not arguing it is fair, but it is how their system works and that given the stakes, their actions are less absurd (not all the way to reasonable) than they appear.

The idea there is a single amorphous "it" around the government in a matter like this is somewhat laughable.

"don't under any circumstances depart from the FDA posture on Lobster meat freezer burn, discussing laser weapons and advanced flight posture systems"

Seriously: the people who guard secrets which matter don't give a flying fuck about the UFO talk, unless it directly relates to their imaging, remote sensing, radar and other detection systems positional accuracy, boundaries to application. If its a super-collation of reports of non-ballistic movement in visual sightings by pilots during approach, then .. meh. Over 50+ years of reports, there's been no indication the anal probes are coming for us. The reporting agencies routinely don't release things, for reasons which relate to stuff like "how good is our imaging" not because "the images we imaged with our imaging systems show aliens"

If some schmo pilot making a landing sees an anomolous "it" clown floating in a giant manhole in space, thats not a big deal to them if their systems detect it. If they don't then he's probably medically unfit.

I can't stop thinking about the massive fundamental logic bombs inherent in the argument:

"Because the US Government (see above) won't release the pictures of the space lobsters. THIS PROVES THEY EXIST"

It's laughably silly. Sure, an analyst wants to be free to tell us they think their initial review of the sources suggests there was a circuit of belief around unexpected tech and flight/trajectory in UFO reports. Does that mean they actually have the time and gravity shifting device which made "this journalist" feel a bit queasy (it wasn't the lunch drinks, honestly) -No it doesn't.

Whats the ratio of UFO reports from other economies? Is there possibly an effect here, which is the whackjob density in the US is slightly higher? Do Finns see this? Do South African pilots see this? How did the aliens decide that the best place to interfere with cattle was the US ranching systems and not (for instance) in Brazil where there is both more cattle, and less technology to detect them

OMG!! the Brazilian Cattle! Because we haven't found evidence of Alien intent THIS PROVES IT

As a distraction from the F35 programme failure? Sure, it might work. But then, good advertising always includes some "release it on friday when nobody's looking" around the bad news. I can't think of any other reason "the government" wants us to believe in advanced alien technology than its a simple distraction from bigger problems. And, as I said at the first point: "the government" here is a fiction.. Some agencies want very much to show the F35 programme is a problem because they want the budget and the power. There is no one single "government view" on these things, the way there is no one single view on Cuba, or Iraq, or Taxation.

SF's Millennium Tower tilting more than ever to the West after early recovery
It has made a significant change in basically every person in school above 5th grade. Which is around a tenth of the population.

Additionally, gas prices are to pre-war levels (https://www.gasbuddy.com/charts), natural gas prices are back below pre-war, actually below pre-Covid levels (https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/rngwhhdm.htm). Lumber is back to pre-covid levels (https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lumber). Milk is back to pre-covid levels (https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/milk).

Meanwhile unemployment is at the pre-COVID baseline already, historically low 3-4%, below the traditional 5% "full employment." Real wages (i.e. adjusted for all that inflation) is ALSO above pre-covid levels. https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_real_average_weekly_earnin...

House prices aren't increasing like they were, and the interest rate hike has made it expensive to buy a new house, but overall, it's really hard to claim people are being drained right now. Almost any other time has had worse employment, etc.
Yes, and poorly. Like the rest of the post is an argument, but a poor one.
Arguably that's not a belief, not as he's using it. That's an emotional commitment.

Example: I love my wife. This is an emotional commitment. It can't be 'wrong' in a factual sense - that's the wrong rubric for it. So it's not really a belief in that sense either.

A belief should be amenable to facts, evidence, or some sort of feedback. If it isn't it's ultimately not a belief. It's excluded from the kinds of decision-making and reasoning he's describing.
Dismantle public transportation, create trade policy which destroys their jobs, force their children into schools which promote lifestyles they abhor and promote childlessness, subsidize voluntary sterilization and market it to the kids in the schools, etc. These are all corollaries to what was done in rural areas.
> I'd still argue that you're not free if the government can just seize your things when you have not broken any law, and don't feel like that's a high bar.

I was wondering how this would fit if an entity like equifax wanted to hide a data breach. However, reading your statement again, failure to report a security breach is unlawful in all fifty states as far as I can tell from a Google search (I anal, I don't know the law) so I'd imagine EU laws would be at least as strong as this.

With that out of the way, yes, I am ok with this.
I suspect it isn't so simple to fix the first example in the way you describe, because Python's a 30+ year old language with functions as first-class citizens. If we went back in time and built it from scratch to remove this wart, I'd vastly prefer we require all default kwargs to be immutable types, rather than allocate a new empty list with every function call. But doing that today would be an unacceptable breaking change.

The second one isn't a real issue IMO. It exists as an example of how closures and scoping work in Python, and as a warning to beginners to avoid doing un-Pythonic things with them. Python closures are late-binding. FWIW your JS example behavior works as you expect in Python, if you used a generator instead of a list comprehension, but why not just pass the variable as a parameter to your anonymous function instead? This is a silly, contrived example. Language designers can't fix stupid.

> subsequent ones a different exception? Like reading from a closed channel.

StopIterator is raised when you call next() on an iterator with no remaining elements. That's how it's defined. https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#StopIterat...

Why no `close()`? Let me rephrase: why can't you use `with` on a generator? That's in their Design FAQ. TLDR: because it's an uncommon use case for generators, and if you really want to, there's ways to do it.

https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#why-don-t-generato...

Changing the behavior of `for`, `in`, etc to call close() when the iterator is consumed, might seem simple, but do a little reading on coroutines and `yield from`, and you'll probably be convinced otherwise. Note that it's exceedingly rare that a Python programmer would want to use those two niche language features, but they're at the core of how certain standard library modules are implemented.

As for the last one, this is one nitpick I'm fully on board with. I always make a habit to break up boolean expressions, to avoid having to keep track of every language's boolean evaluation idiosyncracies. If I rewrote Python, I'd axe that chained boolean nonsense altogether because it's the kind of thing beginners will shoot themselves in the foot with over and over again, but it's another breaking change that would never be accepted.

Basically, don't use language features you understand, do a little defensive programming, and these gotchas aren't gonna bite you. JS, on the other hand, has numerous warts that are entirely unavoidable and far more frustrating, but even a broken clock's right twice a day.
