And Java doesn't even have good (conceptual) support for concurrency. Compared with eg Erlang, Rust or even Haskell.

But Java was still better at it than C or C++ at the time.

Almost none of the e2e tests for https://www.executeprogram.com meet this description. They're all tests like:

- Visit a lesson page with a code example that returns a string.
- Enter the correct answer to that code example, but without the quotes around it.
- Assert that the text "Almost, but the answer is a string so it needs quotes." now exists on the page.

No implementation knowledge, nothing faked, real UI behavior tested. You can test most app behavior like this. E.g, we test our entire billing system like this, making these kinds of real assertions.

I think there are many people who legitimately feel unsafe when they feel uncomfortable, which is an a super unfortunate situation because it makes critical conversations much harder. Even harder when the people delivering critical feedback do so in a poor way. If only humans weren't so complicated.

Is that listed in the article anywhere? Is that part of the proposal?

The proposal does however say that even if the attestation fails, that the user should be allowed to access the website.

Just my 2 cents: I worked on the DNS in Windows Server back in the 200x's (validating the UI and back-end functionality, not dev work), so I did have to learn about it at one point and I recall that there was a vicious level of complexity to it compared to what we ask it to do. The 99% scenario is turning a domain into an IP via an A record. Next after that is doing the same with an MX record. Beyond that is this deep well of other things people thought someone might want to do with DNS, but that almost nobody takes advantage of in real life. So DNS is probably easy to understand if you're just concerned about the one or two first class scenarios, but if you had to implement an RFC-correct instance of a DNS server, it's a bit of a brain melter.
A Man Who Opened a Store Selling Heroin and Cocaine Has Died from an Overdose
That's the exact attitude that lead to decades of pain with the 2 to 3 transition and libraries though. There was zero plan for how to help libraries migrate from python 2 to 3, or more importantly how does one library support _both_ python 2 and 3 from one codebase as their users take time to switch their python interpretor. The attitude of "just turn off GIL if you don't need it, just use libraries that support turning it off" means library authors will be asked to provide versions of their library that do and don't support non-GIL mode. That's a big burden to dump on library maintainers.
The US DoD is very much a rules-governed organization; at its size, it has to be. Unfortunately, its size and scope means that there are so many written rules that no one could know all or most of the rules, and a lifelong high achiever might know most rules within his domain. This means that it's a capriciously rules-governed organization, lending it flexibility and rigidity each in all the wrong places.

The whole organization desperately needs effective lookup within those instructions, manuals, and directives. You could achieve a steeper learning curve within silos and some rudimentary ability to understand silos you interact with. A sign of progress would be seeing all coordination accompanied by reference numbers for the relevant rules, instructions, etc.

Edit: there's a lot that's classified in defense work, of course, but plenty is unclassified and even readily accessible on the internet without credentials. And all that stuff is what screws up HR, pay, and work travel experiences for just about everyone in the organization.

People are often given timelines at work that don't include testing. As a believer in agile, I generally push back hard to include testing.

A few examples from my own childhood. Some freedoms were good and some are bad, but my mom said they were all worth it for what I learned:

· My dad made a custom boot script that gave me instant access to my favorite games.

· I sent a computer to the repair shop for weeks after figuring out how to change the computer to use an unsupported screen resolution.

· My Palm Pilot had several video game emulators.

· Our Windows 95 computer got the Ripper virus from my friend's 3.1 machine. It replicates if you boot the machine with an infected floppy disk connected, but it doesn't affect 3.1, so he had no idea his was infected.

If the value has degraded so much then you're not giving up anything by sticking to groceries, right? That's a bit different from buying a lower quality phone.

For you, maybe a better analogy would be buying cheaper food at the grocery store.

Intelligent traffic analysis is a network traffic monitoring and analysis technology. It allows the device to perform in-depth analysis on a specified service flow to obtain data about high-precision performance indicators such as the packet loss rate and delay (nanosecond-level) of the service flow. The analysis result can be exported to iMaster NCE-FabricInsight for display or further analysis. It helps O&M personnel monitor the network running status or quickly locate network faults, and provides support for network-wide traffic visualization.
Not a lot there, and there’s an assumption about what Spotify is supposed to be that doesn’t fit my experience. I don’t use it to find random new music. I search by artist or song name for something I discovered elsewhere (or I’m already familiar with) and make my own playlists. It seems to work fine as a cloud jukebox?

The price increase is unwelcome, but when you get interested in a musician who made many albums, it’s a lot cheaper than buying them all.

In fairness, writing with a fountain pen encourages proper cursive handwriting, because it is far less physical effort. Disjointed handwriting is easier than cursive with a ballpoint, because you have to apply pressure the entire time you are writing or the ball won't roll and pick up ink.

> The excess death rates between anti-vaxers and the vaccinated show that, in fact, the experts had it right all along.

Yes. In your imagination. Because there's no good data on that. He'll, wallensky when asked suddenly went on not having good data to avoid showing how the vaccine passports were a sham.

With that said, there's always some bullshit excuse about security and there's one for this bill. You're just the authoritarian spreading the same propaganda inconsistently.

> Similarly here, experts are pushing to maintain encryption for the sake of public safety.

Lol. No. Experts are testifying in favor. The government said so. And for once, the commercial interests of the companies is not aligned with gov so we don't censor the EFF like we did the great Barrington declaration... But we're not far from calling them names and implying the use of certain tools suggest criminality (see France).

I'm just pointing out hypocrisy. I'm obviously in favor encryption and freedom.

The thing is, just like with my body my choice, I'm consistent throughout and not just when it benefits me.

> Governments have always tried to maintain power through breaking secrets. But there's no evidence governments tried to do anything but vaccinate and protect their populations from COVID. How was any of that a power play? What irony?

Lol. Really? Have you been asleep the last 20 years? The patriot act is also about security and terrorism? Do you not believe in corruption you can see and hear about daily if you only look for a bit?

Government does hygiene theater, gov settles on a beautiful corrupt loop. Companies get bailed out and money transferred from tax payers to them. Media and tech thrive through the lockdown (propaganda, payments, locked in audience). Big Pharma makes a killing.

It's simple hygiene/security theater and corruption. Not a grand masterplan.

But the fact that you stare "there's no evidence the government tried to so anything but vaccinate and protect" shows you're either extremely dishonest or just 100% brainwashed. Authoritarianism at its finest, ignoring what your eyes see in favor of "govs, the same ones we criticize for nearly every other thing, has our best interests at heart, pinky.promise"

With basically no actual discussion of the specific points that moved the needle, or further clarification of the scope, or what other approaches will be investigated. And instead of that, another admonishment of the audience, with a sort of implication that everyone on the team is too wounded by online discourse to share any more insight.

also, the way this phrase (Which does not appear in the Explainer a single time) is used and is somehow the most concrete anything in the entire post, makes me think this is PR-ified.

I am an F-1 doing an EB2-NIW so I have some background around these topics.

1. The bar is very high. You must show that you have "risen to the top of your field" through very substantive evidence. There is a list of admissible evidence on the USCIS website. An attorney can discuss whether this is worth pursuing from your credentials.

2. The USCIS values citations but it's not everything. In my petition, I relied on reference letters from experts in the field who have cited my work from across the country. Again, an attorney can help with this.

3. You must not have immigration intent at the start of your F-1 period. However, you can change your mind afterwards and you can file an I-140 after 90 days, which is what USCIS considers a "long enough" time period. But in doing so, you have demonstrated your intent to stay and it's highly recommended that you do not leave the country until you get your GC.

Good luck!
Yeah it’s definitely very clear that they are outright hostile to user-determination. Seems like they have proven in testing that they can best maximize watch hours (or perhaps renewable) ONLY when the algorithm heavily influences what you watch (and by maximizing the number of exclusive series you start?), so it seems like they hide anything you’re already watching and push all their series at once.
I’m not in love with some of the details.

That reminds me of Belgian beers which have double the alcohol of your regular beer but tastes like there is barely any alcohol.
Which seems sociopathic:

- for someone to be encouraged by that reaction

Neither seem a sign of sociopathy to me.

Because with the GIL it was dead simple to glue a C library into Python, and also was the canonical way to address hot inner loops in Python: rewrite into C. Nothing fancy but a little trial and error with module loading and you get 30% speed ups without being a great C programmer.

I don’t think it’s false to say that the ease of moving hot spots into C is part of the reason Python has been so successful for thirty years.

I hope this works, but I am very sceptical about being able to port code that worked with a locking solution provided for the enthusiast trying out C working without running into concurrency bugs.
Shouldn't we also adjust for the fact that the ionosphere has a larger radius than the earth when considering it's surface area?

Earth's radius: 6,371 km
Ionosphere: 60-300km

... If we use the inner edge of the ionosphere we get about 2% more surface area whereas the outer edge gives us 9.6%. Probably the right number to use is somewhere in between.
> a per-thread GIL with an explicit mode to share particular objects

This is like Ruby's Ractors and I haven't really seen that be super successful so far. The "Objects" that need to be shared are things like class definitions, etc.... there are a ton of subtle issues with objects that are being marked as sharable when they should really not be or vice versa.
FOMO+CYA. No-one thinks AI can substitute for writers now, and this posting does not suggest otherwise.
Is it really too late to not do this ? The only reason to get rid of the GIL is to help threading, but that's not a thing we should be doing. Threads need to just die, and be replaced by something less idiotic. Seriously, having the CPU run fragments of your program at random, so that all the previously ordered pieces are now contending with each other and even themselves ? How can anyone not see that this is the stupidest idea in the world ?

Quoting my comment from elsewhere:

>I didn't dive deep on this, but I assume that GIL mode can still run anything, including no-GIL code (it is one of their promises, at least). So, unlike 2->3, there is forwards-compatibility.

>It also seems like the latter isn't meant as a replacement (for the moment), but rather as an option.

As long as GIL mode remains compatible with both old and new code, I see very little danger in having a no-GIL mode (besides hogging CPython maintainers' time).
Indeed. The burden is 2x at least. They already estimate it's going to take 5+ years, so that's 10x the cost of a current library. At least.

If the burden becomes too big, at some point people may find it is the easier option to switch to a different ecosystem. I hope not.

Intimidation is bad (and this fact should not need to be stated).

But… this is otherwise absolutely terrible. If he can’t differentiate between “negative feedback, delivered abusively” and “negative feedback, delivered forcefully” then he should not be someone involved in this decision-making process.

I am vehemently against this proposal, and my reasons have nothing to do with criminality. Tarring all opposition as criminals is a really shitty tactic and is pretty obviously done in bad faith.
Kinda funny that instead of “Seattle Syndrome,” we just called it “S.A.D.”
Yes. Not just them. A lot of mathematics was done by Indians. But that’s not Rome.
Agreed--there needs to be discussion and thought about how this impacts library maintainers. How do they tell users their library supports or doesn't support non-GIL mode? Will pypi have new metadata to specify and enforce projectsdependencies support non-GIL mode, or is it just a chaotic free for all where users have to figure that out themselves? How will a library author have one codebase that supports both GIL and non-GIL mode--will they effectively fork the code and maintain two codebases (yuck!) or will there be support for detecting GIL mode? How does this work for C extensions too? There's a ton of work to make this smooth for libraries and I really hope it is being thought through better than the python 2 to 3 story for library authors (which was no story and chaos).
How does this differ from the access and assistance bill in Australia?
