Indeed. And the reason they use multiprocessing is bc they have learned that Python's multithreading is not a good option in cpu bound tasks. The blessing in disguise of course being that multiprocessing is also a shared nothing model, so (mostly) lock free programming is the default. Oth if you have a need for concurrently accessed shared memory/resources and need locks, it comes with an explicit cost. I think that's a good thing.

In the future the default concurrency model will be shared everything free threading, and all hell might break loose. Hopefully not.
not op, but a wild guess is i think they're attempting an "oh you know the ones", aka the ones trying for a more equitable society, which the status quo equates with "they're trying to destroy the status quo!"
I find this post fascinating.

We are essentially two diametrically opposed people, who agree on the same premise.

We both agree that we (humans) are meant to take risks and live exciting lives, but you apparently have the courage to do that, and I do not.

I fear injury and death. Nothing sounds more horrible to me than being paralyzed for the majority of my life. When I was growing up a dad from down the street ended up losing his life in a biking accident. He gave up a wonderful family, and a stable quiet life in the suburbs.

I think witnessing that really shaped me and caused me to turn away from dangerous sports. Yet, I recognize how deeply I would enjoy flooring it on a freeway onramp, or jumping off a cliff in a squirrel suit.

I'm just not willing to risk it all, I guess.
Plants can't move (generally). But they're not dumb. Plants are smart:

They adapt to their environment. Change CO2 capture strategies depending on temperature, light & water availability. Even more: they can adapt their environment (like, the bacteria community surrounding their roots) to their needs. They can expand into areas most suitable for them. Use fungi to expand their root system 10...100-fold or so. And have those fungi (or bacteria) obtain nutrients from places or materials their roots can't get to. Exchange sugars for nitrogen that bacteria pulled from the air & fixed in nitrogen compounds. Produce a plethora of chemicals to keep pests at bay. Capture & digest insects to obtain nutrients lacking in the soil.

So... gravity: not too difficult.
I run an encrypted XMPP server for about a dozen people. It's completely ephemeral in the sense that the server stores no messages. If you're offline, you miss them, kind of like IRC.

Will this apply to me? Do I need to ensure that no UK users are on my server?

I never anticipated this back when I set up the server. I thought that implementing strong security and privacy measures was a responsibility that I should take seriously.

I wouldn't be willing to run the server if I had to compromise people's privacy. If you don't have privacy, you might as well be on a mega-corp service.

While a good example, that was in 2015. There haven't been very many (or any?) public challenges since - which does make one wonder...

Apple could simultaneously backdoor their devices while also keep them secure from anyone but the government with a warrant. These things are not mutually exclusive.

The UK is not being "punished". All the consequences of Brexit are imposed by the UK on the UK. (Also, it seems to be leading them somewhere more authoritarian, not less.)
But it will have to be lobbied for again, to different people, and with right-wing tabloids ready to be pointed at anything vaguely controversial in it. It will be a very different battle, and likely much easier - if anything because the government will want to win the subsequent election, whereas the current one knows very well that they won't, regardless of what they do.
Crystal's Ruby syntax is a con for me. Pony could be great but the community is being mismanaged terribly, it's a real shame. I think Julia is suffering the same fate as D for general programming. It's got a lot going for it but it's not interesting enough except for certain niches, and hasn't gained enough momentum.
Wild.

If I may ask - do your employers know that you are working multiple jobs?

If not, do you ever find it difficult to keep that information from them?

For the bulk of H1 holders (who I can assure you will not pick up 400k CAD jobs) it's not necessarily a switch to an easy life with great salaries once CoL is accounted for. I wouldn't want to make move to Vancouver as an example for $average unless I had serious cash for a family home etc - property prices are wild.

The jobs H1 holders will want don't tend to be in the "affordable" parts of Canada either.

The speed at which these Canadian offers were consumed speaks far more to the desperation/frustration of many average workers in the US stuck in Green Card wait lines - I doubt we are witnessing the flight of many from FAANG etc in majority of cases.
You really think if Apple completely boycotted China that China wouldn't retaliate?
I think your problem isn't so much packet sockets or BPF, but how bad direct socket support is for things like ICMP or DHCP or ARP.
> sane multithreading

It's simply not "sane multithreading" not being able to run Python (byte)code concurrently. It's just a huge annoyance.

> because it might lose its beginner friendlyness

Python is not beginner friendly. It has one of the worst documentations out there. Also it does things very different compared to other languages (C#, PHP, Java, JS, ...) - I would advise anyone against learning Python as their first language, while Python is my favorite language.

> And Python already has an expert mode - called Cython oer Numba to name just two.

CPython is the "official" Python. How is it beneficial to depend on some 3rd party projects? I don't want to use such projects.

As to the PEP itself: It's optional, with the GIL being enabled by the default. So what's the problem...
Yes - this is exactly the kind of danger I was referring to in the GP comment. The historical trend here to trust in our authorities lets strong policing powers (mostly) work as long as that trust isn't abused. But we've been learning the hard way that our governments and police services don't always live up to the standards we expect of them and some of the laws that were passed with claimed - and perhaps even honestly believed - good intentions can still lead to abuse and bad results. Then because we lack the checks and balances that less trusting cultures tend to incorporate into their systems - such as a written constitution that establishes a layer of fundamental laws that no single government can arbitrarily change - it can be difficult to stop the runaway train.
Same reason for why a lot of people seem to think it's a good idea to have a gun in the US. Everybody else (including criminals) already has one.

HackerNews seems like the place to ask this:

There is something magical about switching to a channel mid-stream. The old joke about how you'll watch a movie from the half-way mark with commercials on TV even though the DVD is on the shelf. I think this is why pluto.tv is so popular.

I have a ton of video files but can't find any way to recreate this for myself. Why isn't there a project like Plex but for channels?
Sure, you can think that. I don't fault you. Musk is extremely childish at times and that's putting it lightly.

It's his money to light on fire and his reputation to tarnish. I don't know why people get so miffed by him. Twitter wasn't anything special to ruin and I think it's doing just fine nowadays.

No, that's not what I meant. I mean tests are great on the backend, but I've never seen them prevent a bug on the frontend, especially in react where it's usually obvious what effect your changes will have. In fact, many frontend tests don't even truly test the UI
I don't think "women in tech" is a niche political cause... and this is a tech forum.
Higher orbits are slower, not faster. Very low orbits as you say though are less an issue due to atmospheric drag deorbiting debris. A bit higher and debris will stay up much longer, even higher up though and there's so much room we can't possibly put out enough material to fill the orbits yet. The mid point of that scale is the dangerous region.

> If you did that to a child it would be neglect, that is the point. Children aren't cats.

I would never do that to a child. Even if they had a bowl of food and water and a toilet in the room I wouldn't expect them to be able to take care of themselves. That sounds like something a psychopath would do. Stop straw-manning me, it's incredibly rude, and against the rules. You bring down the discourse of this site when you quote 5 words from a paragraph and leave the rest of the context out. Plus you are not even quoting me directly yet you're using quotes. Stop doing that as well please.

> "Do as I say because I am the boss" is just not good enough.

When did I make that argument?

For the record, I don't believe you should tell children that. I don't understand the difficulty in telling them "The iPad broke and you are not getting another one because you can't take care of it properly. Perhaps you'll get a new one at Christmas." when they break their iPad.

That's what I consider being a boss. Saying those words does not seem difficult to me.
Only if the user explicitly uses threads. By default people can still approach their code in the exact same way they do. I imagine most users won't think about threads at all, but may relay on frameworks and libraries that take advantage of them under the hood.

IMO Python doesn't even offer enough in the way of good synchronisation primitives for the async code. I don't think the ecosystem is ready for this one.

I hope it'll be recognised by the most "host" applications (uvicorn or whatever) that multi-threading is not a good idea anyway and they'll discourage it. But there'll definitely be a macho-land of thread-"safe" programmers whose bugs we'll be downstream of
Yup. The problem in the US as a recent study pointed out is that the private benefit of owning an SUV is greater than the public benefit - basically, it's shifting cost and the risk from the person to society at large.

I'm not sure how you fix it, considering that pretty much every proposal to narrow a road, add a bike lane, add a bus lane, increase registration fees etc around here is treated like you're trying to bring back Hitler. It's so frustrating.

I don't think that it's a selling point, I just think it's effective at getting hooks into players and being habit-forming. I have a few friends who cancel plans or bail on our book club because they need to unlock all the limited time stuff in Overwatch, even if it's for a character they don't play. I've noticed I only really play Dead by Daylight while they're running events and giving stuff away.
Linux and a web browser is all almost anyone needs. The reason we don't teach students it is the same reason most adults haven't learned it, and possibly in part because most adults have no experience with it.

Meanwhile, ChromeOS is intended to be an extremely accessible operating system. There is almost no learning curve if you're coming from Chrome as a web browser or MacOS. Most students, at the age they get assigned Chromebooks, have been using Google Docs, Slides, Drive, etc for years. A device that seamlessly integrates all of that is surprisingly nice, and the reason I got a Chromebook to supplement my home PC.

It's also very hard to fuck up a ChromeOS install to the point of unusability. It's easy for administrators to apply required apps, rules, and settings to all the Chromebooks in the organization, which is great when you need web filters and surveillance software to make sure students follow the rules with the devices. Google also provides tech support for the hardware and software, and I don't think Linux distros are gonna come with that level of support.
I know what it is, but thank you for the leaking part.
You are wrong. Despite some recent movements to produce iPhones in other places, approximately 100% of all iPhones are made in China.

Without China, there is no iPhone, and there is no Apple. Apple, presently, needs to operate in China. They have them by the balls.

Compliance with CCP demands is non-optional.

This may change in the future. Today it is 100% true.
Ruffle has been getting pretty good. Lots of customization.
I hope they can improve the performance at some point, and keep all the options.
i expect that they start with showing them how to use the knives first.

montessori teaches 3 year olds how to properly handle sharp knives by letting them cut the fruits for snack breaks. they also don't use safety scissors but learn how to use real scissors.

a lot of danger is removed by teaching kids how to properly use tools. when they feel how the knife cuts through the fruit, they learn that a knife has a sharp edge, and can cut things.

my son learned to cook at age 8 or 9. yes, he gets burned sometimes, but he knows how to properly use a gas stove and he has learned to be careful with it because he had the opportunity to use it frequently and become familiar with it. he can cook a meal unsupervised, and i guess that will boost his confidence as he tries more complex recipes.
No worries - trying to engage in thoughtful conversation despite the internet incentivizing craziness is my goal!

Fair point about existing players, I just tend to discount old large companies being able to execute for the same reasons startups tend to eat their lunch. Why haven’t they done it already? Why haven’t they started even now?

Why did it require Tesla to build EVs? Why did existing car companies ignore Tesla for 20 years until they were way behind?

Probably the innovators dilemma - it’s rare existing providers are much of a threat.

That's a big part of the problem right there. You want to separate them, as they did in the Netherlands and Paris appears to be doing.
No, not FUD in terms of Brave implementing crypto things within the browser. That much is obvious and they take pride in it.

What I mean is that year in, year out you'll see the same things about a bug in their Firefox Suggest-esque feature that got fixed within one day of being reported, the bad Rewards UI which got fixed without anyone losing their cryptocurrency in response to eg. Tom Scott's feedback being treated as a scam where Brave stole it from people and so on.

They're basically criticisms of first iterations of new things and assume maximum malice on part of the Brave team. The integrating crypto into the browser side is mostly unrelated, nobody denies it and few think it's unequivocally good.
I have a 2011 mac mini that is being used as a file/media/misc apps server right now. I’ve also got a 2020 m1 mba (personal) and a xps 15 (from work) and while the xps is more powerful, it does not feel as nice as the mba (no noise, feels solid). I’m not at all happy with apple’s restrictions, but they build nice tools. When i want something to tinker with, I choose something else.
Exactly. I think a lot of the negativity about GIL comes from a misunderstanding about forking processes. If python is being used as a scripting language, and spawning other tools, you're already getting free multi-core.

A similar misunderstanding exists about SQLite and concurrency.. but that's a topic for another time.
You should rather normalize regarding payload weight
I 100% disagree with you about bikes on the road, and I do not own an SUV, but I have a twinge of sympathy for parents who do. I think people without young kids fail to understand just how difficult it is to fit multiple carseats into a sedan. If you have three kids, the only practical options are a minivan or an SUV. I am angry at the US government about the chicken tax and other incentives that have led to the rise of the SUV, but no individual parent is going to solve that problem.

However: If you’re buying the biggest SUV you can so as to win the arms race, none of my sympathy applies to you. Stop it already. How do you even park?
No, it doesn't. I'm not speaking of "platforms." I'm speaking of exactly one platform that has an extremely small admin crew. Buying your way to a rewritten history on HN is highly implausible. Hacking, perhaps, but I'd expect that this community has been rattling those doors for the platform's entire existence.

The question I have is:

Why isn't there a combined MTA/DKIM/DNS server ?

Why am I installing and configuring and running and monitoring all of these different server software packages ?

I'd like to have a single config file that handles everything required to run a mailserver.

If I have more complex needs I can split things up make them modular ... but I don't.
100% agreed. On reddit, I've always felt there was an inverse relationship between the quality of content and the number of users on a subreddit.

Personally, interactions feel more significant in smaller communities, too.

I think the most obvious explanation is that this bank may be another victim of the "sudden" rise in interest rates we're seeing in the last couple of years. This time it was 300 million in assets plus deposits, and the FDIC allegedly will lose 50 million on the rescue operation. The US have thousands of banks of similar size to this one. May be down the road the number of 50 million losses will become unbearable, who knows.
What does that have to do with anything? That doesn't suddenly make the expense go away.
I've had three different recumbents and you're going to have to take my word for it that I know how to ride them. You feel a lot safer because you're closer to the ground but that's part of the problem: leg suck has a feed-forward mechanism that you can not overcome at speed. I'm fortunate that there were no cars nearby or I probably wouldn't be writing this at all, it was over and done with in a split second, like that you're riding comfortably and like that you're out of control.

Of course I'm not going to convince you, just like nobody would have been able to convince me prior to my accident. That's fine. I hope that if and when you do fall you end up with just a scare so you'll realize I wasn't kidding: the illusion of safety and control is just that, you have neither.
