Huh?

If you don't think these rental investment corporations are a problem, then I won't gainsay that. I just have some local IRL experience in the matter, and have seen it discussed.

I'm not in a debate. I made an offhand comment, which was not unique to me (it has been bandied about in popular culture for quite some time), you called it "false," in a fairly harsh manner, and I didn't attack back, because I like to behave myself, here.

If my offhand comment offended you, then I am sincerely sorry, and you have my apology, but it won't change the way I think or interact, and I'll likely offend again. I'm a decent person, and don't mean to offend, but I also have the approach I have, and some people find it offensive. I'm not sure why, because no one ever takes the time to explain. They just attack. I've learned not to attack back, and make my best guess at what their problem was. Given that data (my guess), I may (or may not) choose to modify my approach in future interactions.

In the aggregate, I yam what I yam, and some folks like it, and some folks don’t. Seems most folks find me easy to get along with.

No worries. It's all good. Have a great day!
The FTC won't necessarily let you know when they take action, but my understanding is that with enough complaints, they will issue a fine. (So it's good to spread the word about this.)

I've seen the issue you mention with Delta and other companies. I make it clear to them that my interpretation of this law is that membership does not magically make promotional emails transactional.

Similarly, making a purchase on Amazon doesn't magically let you repeatedly send me ads (in the form of "limited time Prime Music discounts that come with your digital purchase").
You can look at that data too.

Could you please not.

You are presenting a false dichotomy. It’s not “bribe vs. use this tech”. It’s also not really about bribing at all. Fossil fuels are important. That sucks, but we do need them in the short term.

If this tech works, and the government is willing to pay for it to some extent, it’s probably a lot cheaper to build caseload gas plants and peak daytime load renewables than it is to try and build excessive green power and batteries to tide the night over.

I worked at least 50 hours a week during my research internship at Google. Towards the end, I worked seven days a week. It was mostly because I was the only person on my team with the expertise required to complete the project, and I cared about being eligible for future internships. There were a few non-research interns who I vaguely remember not spending a lot of time in the office, but I would say they were there at least 20 hours a week.
I am sure once outside the nature of the emergency would become clear. They are people not lemmings.

> asyncio requires you to explicitly launch a concurrent context

`asyncio.run()` [0] was added in 3.7, and as far as I know is the current recommended way to do this.

as shown in the asyncio "hello world" example [1], you can write your main() function to be async, and then the entire process runs asynchronously from the beginning.

and as shown on that page, you can also use `python -m asyncio` to get a REPL with a running event loop where using `await` will work as you'd expect it to.

one of my biggest quibbles with a lot of asyncio demo code snippets is the use of `loop.run_until_complete()` [2] and similar lower-level primitives. in most asyncio applications you simply want to start the loop as early as possible with `asyncio.run(main())`, let it run for the duration, and have the entire process exist in async-land.

> If I use a keylogger to grab your passwords and impersonate you in emails, forums, and so on then your identity is stolen

This is actually a great example.

If you impersonate me in an e-mail and talk someone into sending a thousand dollars they owed me into some strange account, a reasonable victim isn't going to come to me and say "we're square now, because I paid that fraudster's account what I owed you."

Instead they should admit they made a mistake in assuming it was me based on suspiciously inadequate information and pursue the fraudster if they want their money back.

The paradox of Fermi's paradox (2022)
I should probably learn C4, however, I’ve been having a great time just drawing arrows between squares with draw.io, labelling things as I see fit, without any real ruleset. This is how I generally design any larger feature and present it to the team. It seems to be well received, and being able to reference the initial architecture diagram when I want to remember how some particular system works is extremely useful. I think these diagrams risk becoming impenetrable and unpleasant to work with if they become too beset with rules and arcane visual language (see UML).

> but you could analyze the Spanish future tense as having a future suffix followed by a person/ number suffix.

The Spanish future tense is actually the infinitive plus the present simple of the auxiliary verb "haber". It started as a composite form, much like English "will + infinitive", but at some point it merged into a single form. For example:

"He de comer" (I must eat) -> "Comer he" (I will eat) -> "Comeré" (I will eat)

Note: the first form is still in use in the modern language, but the intermediate form sounds really archaic.
This sales pitch sounds like they really just want to build a better ORM, but doesn't want to admit it, so they embark on the foolish task of reinventing SQL.

> ORMs solve this partially at best at the cost of hiding the capabilities of the underlying database.

This is because all the popular ORMs target SQL instead of a specific RDBMS technology, like Postgres or SQLite. That doesn't have to be the case.

> They also obscure the structure of generated queries, making it difficult to understand the resulting performance implications.

Not quite true, Django for example makes it easy to do raw queries, and every generated query has .query() and .explain() methods to analyze the resulting SQL. This has always been a lame excuse to dismiss ORMs.
Great, so Go has support for native stacktraces so bubbled errors don't get shadowed?

Just because Go made opinionated design decisions around their error handling a decade ago when developing the language doesn't mean that there's not practical room for improvement as the language is widely in production and shortcomings in its error handling have been found.

The number of hacks I've seen over the years to try and solve the "wait, where did this error originate" problem in Go are legion, with little standardization.

And no, using Errorf with '%w' to wrap error messages along the stack isn't exactly an elegant solution.

Even if they want to keep the core error behavior as it is for compatibility, providing a core library way of wrapping with stacktraces would be a very useful next step, particularly given the most popular package doing that previously is now unmaintained.

Its almost as if people work on different kind of systems, and each problem and solution requires context and nuance, and when you come across an academic article describing a complex solution to a complex problem in complex system that has complex operating requirements that you have never encountered professionally and don’t have any experience with - it would be best to file it away for later, or just move on.

But maybe posting a snarky meme about it isn’t constructive.

I think I am a highly visual person but I don't like diagrams either. There is a somewhat interesting historical irony around the development of architecture as in how this word is meant in IT and what a real architect does. The famous gang of four design patterns book got it's name from a book by the architect Christopher Alexander called a Pattern Language. This book advocates using textual description for user requirements like "I want to be able to drink my coffee in the morning and watch the sun rise". It sort of constrains the layout of the house but it still leaves a lot of room to move things around.
GDPR says consent should be as easy to withdraw as provide when it comes to processing personal information for these types of data processing.

Arguably, logging into your account is as easy as signing up (by making an account and entering your username and password).

If you believe otherwise, you could consider filing a complaint with your local DPA if you live within the EU and want to make a GDPR complaint.

Also check your local laws; some countries mandate unsubscribe links, others just imply them, but there's no EU-wide law about unsubscribe links specifically. It'd be foolish for a company to not include such links, unless they're using different email templates on a per-country level to comply with the law.

Regardless of legal obligations, this is a horrible business practice I would expect from desperate drop shippers, not an ultra wealthy megacorp like Apple.

If you use commercial services like Gmail, you can report emails like these as spam. The only way to make Apple care about this stuff is to affect their deliverability and that's exactly what the Report Spam button does.

> Try harder problems.

What part of "apostol's calculus" and "hard DP" did you not understand?

I love when people are so confident in their reflexive dismissal that they're literally blinded by it. So confident that they don't even stop to consider whether their dogma might be wrong.
The basic idea is that file IO and socket IO will allow a task to be suspended while the IO is happening, and let another task do its work.

On top of that, you can write a C extension that will let you run compute heavy work in a way that allows your task to be suspended (for example, the C extension spins up its own thread). This extension has to be "very careful", basically by avoiding touching Python-side data during this work.

The way this sort of stuff ends up working is you pass data into a C extension, and that extension takes ownership of the data or copies it or whatever, does what it needs, then gives Python back some result.

But if you're just pure-Python compute heavy, then your task won't be suspended. So everything will run, but your compute-heavy stuff will hog the CPU, and won't be suspended. (Though if you have compute heavy work that is, like, looping over data, you could add `sleep(0)` between every couple of iterations. This gives other tasks a chance to run! This could be good enough to prevent weird bottlenecks).

But the ultimate thing is if you have N compute-heavy tasks, you probably won't get speed advantages. If you have 1 compute-heavy task and N IO-heavy tasks, you can get advantages (even if the IO-heavy stuff is interspersed). But if you have N compute-heavy tasks and not much IO-heavy tasks, multiprocessing can get you where you want (since it's usually IO-heavy stuff that is helped out the most with async/await)
I got my info based on recent Pew data that broke it down into political categories, which Das obviously lower on the right, but still substantial.

Sure there's disinformation and partisan asshattery but don't forget who's really pulling the strings.

Thanks! Puts things in perspective.
Sounds familiar. If you are a developer and quietly forsee a future problem with the code base and fix it, are you rewarded for that? Nope, the code will quietly continue working, and that's what it's supposed to do. Rarely do people recognize the ability to avoid problems. In most cases you would benefit more personally by letting things get screwed up (but not too bad) and then be the hero fixing the mess.

Sounds like better PR might be in order. If you're quietly averting disaster that's not enough, you have to make sure people are aware of that. Easier said than done, I know.
Yes, these are some ways to get that context. But it can be difficult to do correctly for brownfield projects or libraries, especially if you need to support both sync and async. Not elegant!

I've had this issue with my Samsung Note 20 Ultra, but not from motorcycles. I run a couple thousand miles a year and about 6 months ago I noticed my camera would come up out of focus. If I tap the phone fairly hard it will usually come back in focus eventually, but its super annoying. I've started carrying my phone in a pocket on my outer thigh where it should get less impact, rather than a loose zippered pocket of my shorts, but the damage is done to this one. Hopefully my next phone does better.

To me, this is just a variation of "never mind the science, why don't you try for yourself" argument you find in quackery. I found a disconnect between what people were reporting and actual behavior in meditators.

> only the most incidental and bottom-of-the-barrel evidence.

Are scholarly reports of psychosis bottom of the barrel or are testimonials from meditators the bottom of the barrel? Perhaps next, you want to make an argument from popularity?

You might just be completely unfamiliar with the emerging scholarly literature on the topic.

Sometimes it’s not about understanding.

There was a analysis, recently, that amongst users of the New York subway, the most common fare type amongst the poor was the pay per ride card.

(As a result the new fare system combines both with automatic caps on pay as you go fares.)

Yeah, it's hard to say with any certainty. I agree that the far end is the curve probably looks nothing like the "neighborhood" a couple percent away, relatively speaking.

I also agree that the variety of data plays a big part in its complexity. If you have a few petabytes of data, but it's really only a handful of tables you can real hone in on the relationships. If it's a wide array of sources with many tables between them then you have some nasty problems like entity resolution.
