On top of what you said, Python already has a mechanism to do what the author is claiming!

>>> f(**args)
98 99 1 2

I did 2 successful completions in VSCodium, then I checked and the Cody app said I used 17! I disabled autocompletions. Is there a way to manually trigger autocompletion when I'm ready instead of what I'm assuming is rapid-firing autocompletion requests while I'm typing?

From working with OpenWRT for years on embedded systems where sometimes 128 bytes made a difference: this is not a useful question.

In the embedded space, you use small effective languages like assembly and C. You either design for explicit memory use entirely, or you systematically test for memory usage and waste - especially if you're delivering industrial applications. The so-called "memory safe" systems tend to be very expensive for memory usage and space, and not worth the investment. Usually, anyway. This may change in the future but it's a bad change if it comes with additional power usage requirements and the environment also requires minimal power use.

A carbon tax just puts a price on carbon emissions. So if the guy bikes to work and doesn't buy gas, he's not paying taxes on carbon emissions, while the CEO in a private jet pays more. If the carbon tax proceeds are redistributed, the guy in the kitchen comes ahead, actually.

Paying for content after you've consumed it
Python was heading downhill ever since people started introducing typing outside of the actual "typing" module.

We could have kept it as a module-only thing and it would have made it entirely optional feature that you could easily introduce or remove depending on Python version you were targeting. Now, you have types all over and new ways to type random things keep popping up. And of course, that motivated people to propose more stuff like this.

Just utter meaningless "feature", making this language even more convoluted than it already is ever since Guido sold out to Microsoft. Yes, I get it, it's his language and he can do whatever he wants with it. But a lot of people contributed to Python over the decades. And not a lot of them agree on where it is heading.

A sad thing, really.

It depends on the situation. I absolutely believe the article's author would choose advanced search over filters when the list is long and the load is slow. In that case is best to give the user an advanced search possibility first, and maybe filter after that. Think Amazon's style, do you really want to wait 2 minutes to get all video cards when entering that category and only after that to filter after 4090 ones?

I found this interesting, considering he's born in Odesa

> Born in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, Mr Radvinsky's company donated to the relief effort in Ukraine using cryptocurrency, and the real-terms value of the donation in 2022 came to more than $1.3m, according to CoinDesk.

> The London-registered firm said in August 2023 that pre-tax profits for the period reached $525m, up from $432m the previous year.

$100mm/yr increase and he's put $1.3mm into UA. I hope he's contributing privately...

Also that is a wild amount of revenue when content is created for you and you're just hosting it. I've worked at porn companies (on the tech end, voyeur/webcam companies, practically a self-made video CDN) before and even at our tiny level comparatively they made a small fortune on the labor of the acts but nothing even remotely close to that. Tens of millions maybe. I worked for one that sold for $300mm after 12 years of growth and they're doing beyond that yearly.

UX wise I think OF is pretty terrible. It feels like I'm using 2012 tumblr and I'm not sure I've ever seen it add any new interesting features as long as I've known about it. I always expect them to do some really cool social stuff, kind of replace twitter/x for acts. You still go to a models page and get blank images with no potential preview to know what you're getting unless they allow free subscriptions. It's always a gamble. Just feels performatively sketch.

The most fascinating thing to me about OF is how it's practically normalized having one.

It reminds me of the forest passage concept described by Ernst Jünger.

He was writing about sovereignty within one's own consciousness and I'm not referencing this particular context in this case (although they probably are related) but more generally how "the hinterlands" provide a place away from the beam of focus that a society maintains.

Almost by definition these places feel forgotten but once you get over the unnerving sense of separation and isolation from everything, your imagination seems to recover some of its creativity. That creativity then fills in the gaps visually to create an aesthetically pleasing setting even if it didn't feel that way at first.

I think the overall point for this is fine, but I'd argue that both Node.js and and MongoDB have basically crossed over into the "boring" realm at this point. I see Node.js used in lots of megacorporations, and I feel Mongo is more or less creeping its way into megacorps to for "stuff that needs to be fast and I don't care about ACID"; I think at this point I'd have to use one innovation token to talk some companies out of choosing Node.js.

That said, I do kind of hate this mentality; part of the reason that crap like Java 8 refuses to die is because companies always want to "established" tech, no matter how horrible of a fit it is.

Aside from the obvious good desk, chair and monitor(s).

I like a laptop, so a good dock is really nice to move between desk with full desktop experience and couch for more relaxed work.

Good headset or speakers+mic. Make sure the audio on calls is good. Especially if there’s noise around you really good headphones help so much. Sets with a good mic are harder to find. My QC35s were amazing but the mic picked up noise across the room. Noise cancellation meant I couldn’t hear the TV or family next door, but others on the call heard it very clearly. A good office headset like a Jabra works well here. A separate desk speakerphone unit can work really well here too.

Monitor mounts make a pretty big difference in terms of desk space and being able to reposition when sitting or standing.

I love my standing desk, but I found both the foot hammock and balance board to be amazing additions at relatively low cost for how much I love them.

A good webcam at a nice angle can be great compared to the laptop ones. It’s a lot more flattering and adjustable.

Get a mix of room lighting. A good room uplighter, ceiling dimmer, desk lamp, etc. having a mix allows you to feel a lot brighter and more active, or dimmed with a spot and focused, or generally dimmer and relaxed. Basically the opposite of very standard flat bright office tube lighting.

I really like my iPad Pro in addition to my laptop. It feels far more mobile, and is easier to task switch on for things like Slack, email, etc. with an MPB it’s a funky little extra screen too. It’s the first thing I grab when I just need email/slack updates, or when I need to go through docs and don’t want a full laptop. With the Magic Keyboard it’s usable and I’m always surprised how nice it is.

1. It is. It would be a lot worse if it wasn't available. More of it will help.

2. I don't think you understand human nature. Inventing sex for protection isn't a thing that I made up it's one of the foundational institutions of marriage and monogamous relationships throughout human civilization. You think a man will engage in a sexless relationship with a woman and offer her all the benefits of a relationship with no sex in return? No. The woman's best strategy is to pair up with a man and get protection if that's what she wants. Sex is part of the transaction. Woman have been doing this for eons what I suggest here is no different. Additionally you can't just remove men who have no control over their sexual urges. First off men hide the amount of control they have, so you won't know. Second off almost all men eventually take the risk if they're deprived long enough.

3. Like I said. Non ideal solution. But this works. And it has worked to pacify urges in places where there's a large amount of men.

4. And like I said the problem here is women don't want to go to Antarctica. It's men who are more willing to take the risk and go. Women tend to value more balanced choices while men are willing to go to extremes to satisfy particular objectives. So if you enforce this you'll restrict the population by a huge amount. Not to mention this is sexist gender policy designed to favor women.

5. You can't. Large numbers of men engage in this behavior. Most of it is harmless and of the nature of catcalling. You remove these men you'll remove over half the population. Also you can't prove these men did it. Second it's only a matter of time. All men have sexual urges and all of this becomes stronger the more they are deprived..

You seem to think that the population of men can be divided into two. Good men and bad men. Bro. Its more complicated then that. It's a gradient and different situations and circumstances can cause any man to shift on that gradient.

Also most of the men tough enough to go to Antarctica aren't exactly the types that are submissive.

Do you know anyone who works in design?

I do.

And quite franky, all of them would laugh in your face if you told them that fonts are something that ought to be provided "for free". Fonts come from designers, designers work hard and should be paid for their work. Accordingly, real professional designers pay for fonts -- by the hundreds or thousands, sometimes, so many fonts their computers slow down if they don't use special software to manage them all.

This is also why the strongest, healthiest software ecosystem exists on macOS. Because macOS still has that cultural creative core of its user base, a culture which believes that people who create things should be paid for their efforts. Accordingly, you can still release a commercial proprietary program on macOS and expect to make significant money -- even from a small user base. That's certainly not true on Linux and it increasingly isn't true on Windows -- except, maybe, for gaming.

As for the average person, we're not even talking about the digital world. Everything in print, everything written on television, uses fonts. And if they employ professional designers, those are going to be commercial fonts. The real deal, the ones that were first set in hot type by Swiss or Austrian guys a hundred years ago or more. Open source substitutes are no substitute at all.

> In your estimation, what is a workable "negative rights" framing that would allow me to be left alone?

I believe the best form is: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom from unwelcome perception of the people by any legal entity, foreign or domestic."

Note that perception is not just sensing or observation. Sensing is to data as perception is to information. If, say, a home security system captured an image of something deemed inappropriate, it might "avert its gaze" in some way using various technological means, which is covered by "unwelcome perception." However, if using a camera in the home security system proved too perceptually challenging, the system designer might swap out the camera for a different sensor, depending on the intended goals of the system. The goal is not to limit the expression of perception but certain outcomes, just like protecting freedom of speech doesn't focus on the expression of speech but certain outcomes.

That formulation should settle out fairly well. Citizens should be protected from both corporations and governments. A government should still be able to conduct a wiretap in the course of an investigation (because committing crimes is unwelcome in our society), yet it should deter any unwelcome whole-of-citizenry surveillance programs. Following the Tenth Amendment, if the citizenry of a particular state or municipality wish for certain types of public surveillance to occur (e.g., police cameras in cities), the people of that polity will need to seek legislation to accomplish such, which is a strength and not a weakness of the Constitution.

> I've got essentially zero recourse while these companies build what are essentially parallel governmental systems that I'm forced to interact with.

Though you probably won't like this perspective, every interaction with these systems is a choice. My hope is, the above approach makes such choices far less conflicted.

> Philosophically, I'd say the US's framing of rights has run its course and reached its limits. Not because of the negative framing per se, but rather because it only narrowly construes rights as applying to the de jure government.

The negative framing ultimately works well, but yes, massive corporations have convinced the nation that they are more powerful than governments. A possible solution might be adding "by any legal entity" to existing statements of protections of natural rights.

> Protests are not democracy. Voting, freedom of speech, and peaceful assembly, sure, in the US at least.

If not "peaceful assembly", how are you defining "protests"?

Stopping a lawful vehicle with a traffic cone isn't protest. Harassment is not protest. Vandalism is not protest. Halting traffic for 60 seconds might be protest; halting traffic for 60 minutes definitely isn't.

Even civil disobedience, where someone deliberately violates the law, is predicated on being _peaceful_. (And IMO also on the willingness, if not the desire, to accept the legal consequences.)

IMO, media outlets have pushed this idea that violence is protest, but that's pretty new (and of course limited to issues where they agree).

Most other 'mile's are derivatives of the Roman mile which developed somewhat independently of the English units (foot, yard, inch, barleycorn, etc), ergo the weird conversion factors. The original Roman mile was 5000 Roman feet.

In fact, 1 nmi ≡ 1.852 km exactly.

Also from the original definition of the metre: 1/60 × 1/90 × 10^7 = 1851.85185185... m.

Inter-convertability was a defining trait of SI (or more precisely, its predecessors, MKS and CGS) from the very outset, which is why we have 1 m ≡ 1 s ≡ 1 kg ≡ 1 N ≡ 1 Pa ≡ 1 J ≡ 1 A ≡ 1 C ≡ 1 V ≡ 1 Ω ≡ 1 F ≡ 1 W ≡ 1 Wb ≡ 1 T ≡ 1 H ≡ 1 Hz (I use '≡' loosely here to suggest conversion factors, rather than its usual meaning of equivalence).

The only outliers in the SI are the kelvin, the mole, and the candela (and derived units from these). The former two are dealt with straightforwardly with the Boltzmann and Avogadro constants. I have issues with the presence of the candela in the SI.
