I'm not going to claim anything either way about the efficiency of these apps nor the potential (or lack thereof) to improve; but if they're shutting down rather than complying, this suggests that any efficiency improvements are not low hanging fruit.

Of course, now I'm thinking of that time a coworker insisted that $feature couldn't possibly be made more efficient and it was absolutely impossible to optimise it to take less than 20 minutes to complete, and I spent a few hours looking at what it was doing and got it down to 200 milliseconds…

…but I can't project random success anecdotes like that onto projects I'm not being paid to work on.
It takes a while to get there… most people need to experience the pain of a few real mistakes of their own before they recognize the value of paying attention to other people’s.

The worst is seeing someone making a mistake, warning them, and then they do it anyway.
This can work extremely well for one or two people. It becomes a problem when different people need to agree on what are the 10 things, categorization and maintenance.
If you read the article, it argues that yes, pip installing one thing is a huge problem for a lot of people, but the alternative is harder.

Baseload as an abstract concept makes sense.

But the concept of a specific type of power plant that specializes in satisfying the baseload is going away.

The idea that you provide the baseload with dirt cheap but inflexible nuclear and supplement the peaks with expensive but flexible things like coal made perfect sense, while nuclear was cheap.

Now nuclear isn't the cheapest thing around anymore. Which means that while solar is available the economically rational decision is to buy solar.

And this hurts the profitability of nuclear enormously. Now it can't run 24/7, because during the day it has competition. And since nuclear is almost all capital costs, any time it's not providing power is time it's not paying off those enormous loans. And renewables being very variable results in an environment nuclear isn't very well suited for either.
Re: debris. A real problem. It's made of cheaper flexible lightweight components. Have some spares; lift some more. It'll all be about the MTBF
Apart from what WJW said, it's not an objective criterion but it essentially means that you don't lose out in terms of initiative or position. A counterexample might be accepting the queen's gambit with black (i.e. 1. d4d5 2. c4cxd4), that way you win a pawn but you arguably give white an advantage in development (an in many cases white will be able to recapture the pawn as a result)
When someone posts content to Reddit under the Reddit terms of use they grant Reddit a license to use and distribute the content but ownership rights of the content remains with the poster. If you scrape Reddit and post the content in theory you open yourself up to copyright violation claims from the original poster of the content. The odds that someone is going to sue you for redistributing without permission content they posted to Reddit is likely extremely small but it is not zero.

Nicotine or tobacco even are not intoxicants, strictly speaking.

Also what you’re proposing seems like an extremely slippery slope. What’s the issue with intoxicants? They are harmful? Well a lot of things are.. why don’t we ban sugar, saturated fat, maybe all the things that encourages sedentary behavior? Television, sofas, comfy beds? All illegal.

What’s the objective?
That's what a lot of people said about Wirecard up to almost the very end.
Yes, if you are a user.

But if you are a developer, it's not great.
I think that's the whole point of this system, when you have infinite tags it's impossible to maintain a correct taxonomy, you add #great-graphics to this game, but now you have to backfill it to all other games, or in the future you may miss them.

They created this so the hierarchy is unambiguous (as much as possible), you want a document, you are two steps away from it in an easy to find way.

tag systems have far too much maintenance and adding a new tag is almost impossible to do exhaustively so you have a lot of partial tags.
(Please Lichess, this is not ELO)
This problem is not unique to Python, it’s just the proliferation of incompatible tools that makes Python quite so annoying to use.

I’ve found that none of this is really an issue if you provide a container as a dev environment. Before someone accuses me of “yet another standard”ing this, it’s my standard across all my programming environments.

It’s not a silver bullet, especially with Apple silicon Docker can be a massive pain in the butt, but it works for me. Inside the container I can be guaranteed that only a single Python version is installed (correctly) and packages are installed in a standard way from a package file. Adding a package can be scripted so that it gets executed inside the container and adds it to you packages file.

The other massive benefit is that your local machine needs no locally installed tools other than docker (or podman, or whatever). this works for me and my team it’s not perfect, but it is a complex problem.
If you will be continuing to work remotely and your main concern are time zones, have you considered moving to Latin America? A few countries now have pretty good digital nomad visas; Mexico City is a good option for this.

If you’re set on the US, work for a company that has a subsidiary abroad (Ireland, Canada, India, etc) for a year and then they can get you a US L-1 transfer visa. That way you get past the H-1B lottery. But you will still need continued visa sponsorship until they process a Green Card for you, which can take a decade or more, if they sponsor it at all.

I think that's the problem. Khronos isn't known for good UX, and being from Khronos is exactly the reason why I'm not even bothering to check it out. I want an alternative to CUDA, but I also want it to be as easy to use as CUDA.
Python was created 30 years ago, before Java, at the time the first game boy came around.

It accumulated a lot of things, and it’s a constant battle to balance what to change (to keep the project lean and modern) and what to keep (to maintain compat).

Whatever move you chose, someone in the community will say the core devs are doing it wrong.

I read as many posts saying python is moving too fast as ones saying it’s not adopting “feature x” fast enough. As many people saying we should get rid of the GIL than one saying they are deprecating too many API.

When you are as popular as Python, with a community as diverse, it’s very hard job.

Exactly. Water vapor attenuates visible light more than microwaves. One way to think about SBSP is as an orbital lens converting sunlight into a form that better penetrates the atmosphere.

I have downvoted your comment
Yes, I think it's important to say both that the idea of splitting up the demand curve into baseload and variable demand is a reasonable way to look at things when given a certain mix of generation options, but also that it is not some fundamental reality about how the grid needs to operate in the same way that supply and demand always matching up is.

Think about this in a more practical mindset.

While crypto was growing and experimenting and not causing great harm, the regulators were happy to let it do its thing.

The moment major losses occurred due to large scale fraud collapses, THAT is when the regulators decided to pay more attention and look for rules that might be getting broken.

Moreover, with the increased use of crypto by nation states such as North Korea, Russia, Iran, Hamas, etc... to evade sanctions and launder money, and the general lack of any material crypto economy, then parts of the gov't, in general, are starting to think the show needs to end for crypto - and are talking to regulators to shut down exchanges.

That is why there are no "productive conversations" between Coinbase and regulators. The regulators don't want to give them any valid methods of operating - because they NOW don't want them to operate at all.

What I find mindbogglingly ridiculous is how emotionally charged all of the "the system must include LIDAR" proponents are. It seems to suggest otherwise is perceived as nothing but a coldly calculated cost cutting measure. None of the arguments I come up against are anything but a surface level "well duh, intuitively more sensors equals more better" along with a litany of "you must like murdering babies".

We do not have autonomous systems that can deal with the kinds of problems that human drivers currently deal with, which as I illustrated, is an infinity of embodied problems based on the entirety of our lives spent interacting with our physical environment.

My intuitions tell me that in order to have a machine that can make human-like decisions that it needs to have that exact same kind of embodied experience, that is to have interacted with the physical environment in the same manner as a human, which suggests to me that perhaps an android is the way forward. Then once the autonomous system is extracted from the android and placed in a car it can be further trained on additional sensors, like how a human driver can take the input of LIDAR.
Rack-mounted Macs target the studio crowd who have rack-mounted audio equipment under their desk and love being able to put their mac in the same rack.

Those are certainly users with I/O needs, but very different ones from the needs of a server.
I do not rely on just my eyes when driving and if I did I'd have been in at least one accident. I also rely on hearing and feel (vibrations, difficulty steering, car movement, etc.). Studies support this by indicating those who have hearing difficulties are more likely to get into accidents. I also rely on an organic computer far more powerful than anything you can shove into a car with modern technology and a pair of cameras with better dynamic range than anything on the market. Plus the ability to dynamically reposition these sensors by a couple feet.

Once you can shove a human brain's worth of compute and memory into a car, along with an amazingly good set of 360 coverage stereo cameras, great stereo microphones, and multi accelerometers we can start talking about "LIDAR not mattering because the car can do what a human does and a human doesn't have LIDAR." Of course then you've got 20+ sensors that may disagree with each other anyways so LIDAR is probably going to mean fewer sensors overall.
No. Part of the reason they went public is to show: “hey look we’re a publicly traded American company, not some legal entity operating out of a Caribbean country”. Them remaining an American company is a big part of their pitch for choosing them over others.
First time I heard of it.

I like how simple the core concept is explained, but I feel it would box me into categories when I like tags more (categorizing items in multiple orthogonal domains). OTOH maybe well thought-out categories would bring more structure than tags.

My current notes strategy is to prefix the date to markdown filenames (for example '2023-05-31 canvas scan transform matrix.md') and put them into single dir. These are active journal-style notes that I'm free to update over next days while they are still in focus. Every few weeks the list of nodes gets busy and I 'archive' older notes into sub-dirs (personal, hobby project, work project) and backup the whole structure. The method requires minimal maintenance and the full text search works well for my needs.

Edit:
I like how the author leverages the CLI auto-completion and I try to do the same, but I think Johnny would work against my brain. When naming the directory or a script, I put myself in mind frame where I'd want to use it and I'm trying to recall its name. So I give semantic names like 'build-android.sh'. If it's a new thing I try to come up with a short catchy name for it. Having to recall the `10-19` category each time I want to access specific subscope seems like too much cognitive burden. Just theorizing, haven't given it a shot so far.
Not understanding something isn't a judgement of others.

2) Are positioned awfully with regards to the laptop

There are a lot of other obvious issues. I just don't see how you can be as productive (the average person here not all people) vs a desktop setup.
I don't get why people like charity so much. It basically just means that whoever manages to get a lot of money gets to choose who does or does not get money. I'd rather see all of this money go to a government and then democratically determine who gets the money so it really benefits society as a whole.
It's important to note that event for the projects creating new tokens, there is NO WAY to register.

It exists, in theory. Many people have tried, nothing has progressed even an inch. It's not even a matter of the SEC putting out a list of clear conditions that people deem unacceptable. Instead, the applications just seem to be mired in bureaucracy.

As I understand, there is deliberate gaslighting from the SEC and Gary Gensler.

Gary keeps telling the media "the law is clear" and "companies should come and register", but then never answer's even congress' own questions on what constitutes a security, and makes it impossible for crypto projects to register.
Given the users own the content, it'd presumably be up to them whether it can be rehosted or not. Reddit gets a license to display the content, but they don't really have any control over what third parties can do with it.

Personally I don't care if anyone reuses stuff I've posted on Reddit or other forms of social media (forums like Hacker News included), but there's always the possibility that someone might. And if you remove their posts when asked, I doubt most of them will take it any further than that.
Yeah, but in a rural area that's often not possible. My rural family has been helicoptered/jetted out to city hospitals(thank deity they had Medicare/insurance to pay), but that still takes an an hour or two to get you to the hospital, sometimes more if the helicopter is occupied with another emergency. The tiny local hospital that's a 10mi ambulance drive, or the slightly larger hospital 30mi away is your only chance if you're bleeding out quickly.

Don't do it without a parachute of course, but as long as you have a monetary cushion, what do you have to lose? Move to a country with good healthcare, don't own a car, what hardship could possibly happen otherwise? Outside of extreme tail risk situations that could happen to anyone at anytime, I don't buy it.
Elder people have a lot to say and some (not all) have a lot of wisdom. However I agree that whatever advice you take and follow, you will end up making mistake in other areas, so at the end of the day you have to live your own life, realise your own mistake and correct them.

Treating uncertainty as a first-class concern
For a language purported to be user friendly, Python sure does have an extremely unfriendly package management ecosystem. I'm sure a lot of it comes down to familiarity though. With nodejs I'll use asdf to switch and manage runtime versions, and npm to install packages per project. Dealing with transpilers and bundlers is terrible experience though.

The best programming language that I know to get everything right with the out of box experience is Rust. It has a tool that allows me to switch Rust compiler versions and cargo Just Works.

I'm surprised that in the higher ELO ranges, being up a clean pawn has only a comparatively minor impact - I thought that one clean pawn ahead and no other major positional or structural disadvantages was more or less "GG" among top players.

>whose job in large part it is to protect retail investors, not allow a company who is in the business of selling illegal securities to go public, and then take multiple years to file suit

First, it's not ideal, but an investigation takes time.

Second, had the SEC said "we're not allowing you to go public because we think your business might be breaking ambiguous laws" it would have destroyed Coinbase with a combination of reputuational damage and the inability to raise money to operate. All for something that might be true but was unproven? That doesn't sound ideal, either.

By the way, love the "anyone who thinks otherwise is tainted" bit at the end, it truly speaks to our political climate.

Ask HN: How expensive are fully managed hosting services as compared to VMs?
I am building an app that consumes a significant amount of resources per day per user.

Currently, the app is in the free alpha stage and already consuming $1 per user per month.

I am scared this would make the app unaffordable when I add more features.

How cheaper would it be for me to shift to an AWS/GCloud VM compared to Railway?

I like the idea of Quadratic Voting: https://www.economist.com/interactive/2021/12/18/quadratic-v...
Most UK systems are paid on a "contract for difference" basis. This is an option-like agreement where they get paid a subsidy when power is cheap .. but pay back when power is expensive.

The impact of that is that high UK natgas and power prices resulted in renewables with "negative subsidy" paying money back to the taxpayer. https://www.current-news.co.uk/cfds-set-to-pay-back-10-5bn-a...

(Heck, I myself am part of this: I'm paid a 15p subsidy for electricity generated by my panels. This was a good deal when electricity was 10p. Electricity is now 30p.)
I agree with this question. How was clean determined in the dataset?

Ask HN: How to Validate JWTs with JWKS in Node.js?
These apps aren't grossly inefficient though, they've been substantially lower than the 84k per user per day API limit that reddit has held in the past for these applications, typically being below 500 requests per user per day. Even reddit's official app uses more API requests per day.
Being from Khronos is also a reason why it might actually be usable in a decade's time, like Vulkan.

(Vulkan is from 2015 and is just recently starting to become usable.)
A title of "theory mostly sound, except some extreme edge cases," would cover about 95% of science research.

Thank you for your post, I was looking for something like altinstall, I wasn't aware of it. I've used dnf to install python3.8 side by side with the default python3.6 on Almalinux and they seem to work fine, but I keep wondering if I haven't broken something.
One major difference is a venv doesn't allow nested dependencies. With npm, you might install version 2.3 of a package, only to find that some other package has installed version 1.4 under itself.

Python also has "wheels", which are pre-compiled distributions, rather than full-source distributions. These are often smaller and install faster.
