Do you really want the answer, or was that a question hoping to shame me?

So if the biker bars are distributing child porn, or illegal drugs or guns, or using it as a place for conspiracy terrorism, then yeah, I say yes those corporations serving said bar should have a say. Particularly if the biker bar, e.g., violated the company's Christian morals.

More importantly, this is supported by case law, today.

The decisions of who a business chooses as it's customer is actively being challenged by conservatives in this country. See the Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling. In this case the decision was overturned on religious grounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpiece_Cakeshop_v._Colora...

I would bet a significant amount that if an electric company didn't want to serve a biker bar on religious grounds (particularly if there was active criminal activity), they probably would get away with it.

The last time I checked the constitution there wasn't a right to internet or electric or phone service. There was a right for religious beliefs, though.
I don't think "you can define + on custom data types" to be the same as implicit behavior.

"Explicit is better than implicit" is more around things like Django not just automatically importing every directory it sees (instead requiring you to list the apps used). It's also a decent rationale for changes made from Py2 to Py3 regarding bytes-to-string conversions needing to happen explicitly.

It's also about how usually you end up explicitly listing imports (wildcard imports exist but are pretty sparing), or lacking implicit type conversions between data types.

This stuff is of course dependent on what library you are using, the projects you are working on, etc. And there's a certain level of mastery expected. But I think the general ideas exist despite the language allowing for much more in theory.

"This week, Orf discovered the video had been re-classified as problematic by a new “human reviewer,” who declared it in violation for “harmful or dangerous acts” that “may endanger participants.” Potential problems, the reviewer determined, included “glorification, recruitment, or graphic portrayal of dangerous organizations,” by which I can only presume they mean former Bernie voters like Orf and myself whose political homelessness apparently constitutes a threat."

That's optimistic: you're commenting under an article which suggests they might not have to deal with the annoying babies for long.

Families should not take their ability to "get to places" for granted. If the people who don't want "annoying babies" on their planes accumulate enough disposable income that catering to their desires becomes more profitable than catering to families, the latter may find themselves out of luck when they "need to get to places", unless they themselves can afford to fly private.

Of course, that's an extreme extrapolation; but on the margin, the introduction of child-free zones will certainly make air travel for families less affordable. If it turns out profitable, potentially by a lot.
Ask HN: Backdoor or Zero Trust Network Access Tools?
ZTNA tools such as Tailscale, Netbird, and Narrowlink are promoted as more privacy-preserving alternatives to backdoors, but could they also enable backdoor access? These tools allow actors to reach into devices and bypass organizational network security policies. Isn't this a form of a backdoor, even if not called that?
I would just add that for scientific scripting Julia is usually nicer to program in than the combo of numpy and Python. Julia is fast enough on its own that you can do the matrix calculations directly and it supports real mathematic matrix operators. It’s also a great type based design that makes using packages magical.

One way to think of Rama is as a "programmable datastore", where your application logic goes into and is colocated with your data storage. So your logic has to be written to run on the same platform on which Rama is built, which is the JVM.
> For example, lets say I gave a simple coding puzzle (think leetcode) to 10 python engineers. I would get at least 8 different responses. A few might gravitate around similar concepts but they would be significantly different.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think that's as true as you mean. I think that most experienced Python developers tend to gravitate towards the same style of solutions for things like coding puzzles (including the classic "read in data, map it through a comprehension, write out data" pattern).

There are multiple ways of expressing the same thing, but very often in a specific context one of the ways tends to be overwhelmingly a better fit than the other.

Let me rephrase in terminology you like: If your investment thesis based on all the information you have is that the fall of Nvidia will likely be as rapid as its rise, options are rarely priced for that possibility, so you may find the price of an option attractive (in my words, the possibility of that is not priced in).

The term "priced in" doesn't just apply to information - it applies to any sort of investment thesis. The common investment theses (based on a conventional understanding of public information) are usually priced in. The uncommon investment theses are not, but that doesn't mean that they are necessarily wrong (this one probably is, though).

There is certainly no reason to believe that your ideas are better than anyone else's, even if you are a sophisticated hedge fund guy, but the way hedge fund people make money is basically by having contrarian ideas, which aren't priced into securities prices, and being right. Trading that (perceived) mispricing is how a hedge fund generates uncorrelated alpha.
At University, I learned the joys of TSO, emacs, and unix. There was no mouse or arrow keys or delete keys. I had to learn weird key combinations to line up, line down, character left, character right, delete etc. To see the output, I had to print the dang thing out which was across the street in a different building.

First real job was at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. I programmed in a DEC VMS environment. My Fortran program read the raw output from strain gauges attached to a USAF jet trainer and processed the data which made it possible to track the airframe's weakening due to cyclic fatigue. It was just a bunch of I/O calls and loops. It was delivered to the USAF as part of their program to predict airframe fatigue. This time, there was a mouse but it didn't do anything. Because once I logged into the DEC VMS, it was all keystrokes again. My program was one giant file something like 5K lines.
+1 for Calibre and KOreader combo for remotely browsing ebooks. It works surprisingly seamlessly!

Calibre is an insane piece of software on its own. Pretty much the only Swiss Army knife you need for anything “epub”.
No. It actually compounds the problem in some ways: Great at designing technology, poor at capitalising on it. And of course, much we attribute as great in google was acquisition, not invention. Maps? Originally I believe outside. Android? Outside. Picasa? Outside. It's a long list of amazing things, Google acquired.

Go? Inside. They hired Pike and Thompson amongst others. Kubernetes, inside. Pike and Thompson had been working on plan9, which in many respects foreshadows Kubernetes. The language couldn't really be proprietary (google maintain very strong control over it) and Kubernetes went out as an open source quite quickly. QUIC also underwent this transformation from in-house to shared.
Hey, thanks, I was pretty intrigued by this. A couple questions:

1. Your website doesn't say which DBs you support.

2. What information do you feed the model to determine how to map from English language queries to SQL? Do you just use the schema from information_schema? Do you use any DB object comments (e.g. we annotate all our tables, views and columns with Postgres comments)? Do you sample any actual data?

Thanks

Ask HN: How to self-teach while unemployed, without feeling like unpaid work?
I'm unemployed and have been job searching for a while (though I took a recent break due to burnout). Recalling the common questions I get asked like, what tech stacks I have worked on, and then realizing when my experience is far from what they're doing. But, I learned that, sometimes, saying that I am willing to learn these technologies at home can turn a so-so outlook to a good one for the interviewer. I want to learn new techs without it making it seem like I am just "paying my dues" or doing an unpaid trial version to show the companies what I got.

It's become a tricky tightrope to walk with the pro-side of self-learning is that it's necessary to stay attractive in the job market, but one downside is that it can feel like unpaid work because you're unemployed but learning these things for your career, and not for personal enjoyment or passion.

I have no job for which to learn new things on paid time- all my time right now is unpaid, and sometimes I can't help but think that any sort of career improvement when you have no job still needs to be compensated in a more immediate, consistent fashion.

Well, right now there's a odd vogue to think that a healthy democracy does things like ban political parties (currently an active debate regarding the AfD in Germany), or embrace indigenous apartheid movements (NZ, Australia), or to cede sovereignty to unaccountable transnational elites that promise to protect you from the ravages of political misinformation (the EU as a whole.) I don't think these notions will stand the test of time, but we'll see.

IMHO, Python was already in the Unix/Linux university IT fighting perl into the background as operating system scripting .. that was at least my first contact .. and when then the universities looked at something more simpler than Java, Python was already everywhere in their sysadmins hearts.

The space was not that crowded back then: Go/Rust did not exist, C# was Windows only, Perl was a mess, PHP was web only, Java was hated, Lua a niche and C++ too low level. And JavaScript was that slow thing in the desktop browsers. It was python or ruby and python like said was on every system and ruby the exotic thing.

" amd have already signed contracts to use Intel's fab service"

Source requested, I follow this news closely and have not seen anything that AMD is using Intel's fab.

Nvidia praised their test chip and that indicates they might use Intel's fab. They have not definitively announced that either (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-ceo-intel-test-chip...)

Amazon was using Intel Foundry for packaging, not fabrication. And Qualcomm was considering 20A (https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-announces-first-foundry-custom...) in 2021, but there was a rumor earlier this year that Qualcomm might not use it after all (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qualcomm-reportedly-ditches-In...)
apparently, it plays a special melody.
Two: `for` and `each`. Most people use `each`.
Maybe so, but it's not like there are a lot of languages around that are as expressive, flexible and easy to learn as python, but as fast as C.

JS is probably the closest, but not because of superior language design -- people with money wanted it to be faster, so it is.

Also, the choice is not just python, or writing a module in C -- there's numba and cython, various python compilers, pypy and cffi.

This is the second time I’m seeing this grouping, so now I’m curious. Where does it come from? Is it sarcasm, or are people that naïve about how our government is organised?
Well that is sad and ironic at the same time. Lawlessness will destroy this country.
Ok, so 2 is not enough. What if you put 4 humans? Or 8? Or maybe even 20 (instead of 100, per OP)?

These experiments fail because they greedily try to outsource all the work to AI. Another recent example: the lawyer who submitted ChapGPT hallucinations directly to a court case.

You don't need to eliminate humans, and certainly not at first. You just need to be much more efficient than status quo in order for AI to be deployed at scale.
my understanding is the opposite. neutrinos fill the universe similar to photons, they are just extremely hard to detect because of their weak interaction with other matter. So detections are rare, not neutrinos themselves.

The Germans who died in the 30s and 40s would be alive if the Nazis had been denied access to oxygen. As some of their heirs openly talk about murdering us I don't think in the long run we'll still be mutually protecting each others rights.

It in fact might be kinder to deny them rights now than life later.

People who openly advocate for mass violence even if vague and theoretical belong in prison.
I don't disagree. But I'll point out that "ISPs should just be dumb pipes" and "In the meantime, Tier 1 ISPs like Hurricane should resist the temptation to step in where law enforcement and legislators have failed" are treating it as a simple issue, only in the other direction.
>I know XSS is dying due to CORS

CORS isn't related to XSS. CORS actually isn't a security protection at all. It's a way for web apps to explicitly disable standard protections that browsers apply to enforce same origin policy.

You might be thinking of Content Security Policy (CSP).[0] That's the most effective protection I'm aware of for XSS, but it's not very widely used because so few JavaScript libraries are compatible with it.

We had a creepy, illegally tinted van show up in our neighborhood a few times. I want to find out who the guy is. He threatened to shoot me when I knocked on his window. Is there a legal way to get this info?

If taking the extremely high risk of approaching random shady looking vans wear a body cam. They sell them online. Or at least have your cell phone recording video and put it in a shirt pocket to act like a body cam. Live stream if possible in case they take or smash your phone. Others should also be recording you at a distance in case shady person drops you. Give the footage including license plates to the local authorities. I personally would also mention to dispatch that due to the dark windows you could not tell if they have a firearm. Other potential advice would depend on the laws of where you reside. I am not a lawyer just an internet armchair quarterback. Oh and that van is probably stolen, he is probably on drugs and in his mind you are probably in his turf. If you have a network of neighbors you trust be sure to also let them know of the existing risk.

Otherwise take rawgabbit's advice and stay clear of the drama. Just get video and pictures without a flash.

To answer your question some dodgy private investigators find questionable methods of looking up plates and will happily charge you way too much money to look up that stolen van.
For one thing the "Nazis" in the US aren't actual Nazis no matter how much they desire to be. German has banned things that deal with the ACTUAL, real Nazis which were a part of Germany. Germany hasn't banned racism and the reality is that Germany is quite racist. If judging by US standards Germany would be off the charts racist. Even Berlin, Germany's most diverse city is still > 80% white.
Reading the comments makes me wonder why where perception of Ruby that it is complex or hard to learn is coming from. Let's talk about just language without external libraries, package management or context of specific software.

I'm using both Ruby and Python for tooling (so there is neither Web nor ML context. Neither meta-programming). When it comes to Ruby I learn one thing and safely extrapolate, i.e. you don't need to learn all of the language to be able to use it. With Python I've had to come to the docs many times to understand how a particular thing works and I keep finding ways to shoot in my foot. This includes very basic stuff like variable scoping (global, class, instance or local) or type non-obvious type conversion (in Ruby only nil and false are treated as false in conditional expressions, while in Python this includes empty string, empty list, empty dictionary and so on).

When it comes to readability in Ruby it is natural to do data processing by "pipelining", e.g. you don't need to do f1(f2(f3(f4(data)))) (which is often the case in Python) and instead you can do data.f1.f2.f3.f4 which is easier to read. Classes, objects, inheritance work and feel a lot more obvious. Ruby allows to be concise without sacrificing (for example "a = 5 if seta == true"). Overall Ruby allows to write more readable code than Python.
Ask HN: Is ML Dead?
I mean in the sense of ML teams or departments creating custom models for their company, institution, etc. You can now do pretty much all that with a good LLM (fine-tuning it if needed), and it seems like ChatGPT Enterprise, due to its privacy and encryption features, is the final nail in the coffin (I imagine one of the strongest arguments against using ChatGPT was secrecy). And even if ChatGPT Enterprise isn't quite the final nail, LLMs are advancing so fast that you'll probably be able to run local models as good as GPT-4 or better in a year or two, which, I imagine, will really be the final nail. Or am I wrong about this?

I don't understand why we keep recreating that but with worse and worse pricing models and more lock in.

Disclaimer: Pythonista

I had an opportunity to be exposed to Python and Ruby at roughly the same time.

Python the IPython notebook had started showing up, and the dust had settled a bit on the Py2 -> Py3 transition. So while I was working on a Python 2 codebase, the general vibe of the community was "let's not break more stuff". Pseudocode -> Python translations were pretty straightforward.

Ruby, the entry point was Rails. I bought books on Rails, could not for the life of me figure out how files got noticed by the project or not. I wanted to do something like passing in a function, went on an IRC channel, got yelled at for not doing things the "Ruby" way. Lots of "clever" methods on objects that were neat but didn't really look like pseudo code.

My experience was deeply coupled with Rails, and I think in an alternate universe where I was using Ruby for scripting I would have come out with a different feeling. But Python mostly had no blocking issues for me (a person who was programming for a while at that point), and Ruby was a bit of an undecipherable thing from an operational perspective (even if I could look at a code fragment and understand how it worked).
