I saw the headline and was hoping it'd mention psenough who has been my only lifeline in the last decade to keep up with what's going on in the scene, and I'm sure I have that in common with a lot of old sceners.

Highly recommend watching his monthly reports[1].

He also streams on twitch[2] and all larger parties have fully embraced live streaming on a mainstream platform such as twitch these days, despite ads.

Also highly recommend going to Europe to attend one of the big parties. As the article says, the scene is and has always been mostly a European thing (post-BBS, post-buccaneer, after the split from piracy mid-end of the 90s) and much of the audience here seems very US-centric in their perception :)

This is also a long standing production strategy for Star Trek.

One of the reasons the original series had so many episodes where they went to a planet that was just like Earth in some specific time period was the availability of props, costumes, and even sets. Entire episodes were written around this conceit: there's the episode where they land on a Nazi planet, the episode where they land on a Roman Empire planet, another episode where they meet an alien who turns out to be the literal Greek god Apollo, an episode where they land on the planet of the Prohibition-era mobsters, and an OK Corral episode just to name a few. From TNG onwards, the holodeck was used for similar purposes.
Purely curiosity. It was super fun!
On mobile this page is sadly hardly anything but usable. I would have loved to play it but is a real drag.
I think certain companies / people tend to dominate conference topics.

Most developers / teams / companies are just working rather than doing conferences. There's a whole world of development that is sort of opaque / assumed to be backwards.
Two reasons seem obvious. F-strings are relatively new -- the code is maturing and the edge cases are being filled in. Second, everyone can't be working on the GIL and start-up times. There is a tipping point at a relatively low head count where adding developers decreases productivity.
> What I would love to see in a future version of python is being able to do `user["email"]` or `user.email` independently of the reason. Sometimes both work, sometimes only one of the two and an error in throw for the other one. I don't care why, I just want it to work, it's such a basic feature.

It's an absolutely terrible idea and I'm thankful that there's so little chance it'll ever happen. I don't want random objects to become mappings, nor do I want mapping entries and their attributes to conflict. Javascript is a bad language and this is one of its worst features.

> Something even crazier would be to have an equivalent of `console.log` in python. It would be an amazing feature but I think I'm the only one wanting it. I know I can use `print` or different logger. But it's a lot more complicated to use and the output is a lot less navigable than in javascript.

You... can just call `logging.whatever()`, after having called `logging.basicConfig()` to set up your basic config?

I fail to see how that would change anything to navigability. `console.log` is not inherently navigable, it's the browser's console UI which provides some navigability.

Your code structure should match your org chart is the best advice I've seen for splitting code. Each team in the org maintains their own micro service. They do whatever they want within it, but when going to a different one they go to an interface. It isn't perfect, but it seems to work the best.

Ah, no I do not. I was using the GUI. I can see how having an SSH server is useful though!
> Also, Israels military tactics are quite "unbloody" compared to other conflicts, i.e. Syria, where there is deployment of sarin gas on civilians.

Is that your standard?

Before this new escalation, Israel had killed 14,212 Palestinians since 2000. I'd say that's pretty bloody. But we should be happy that they're not actively gassing all Palestinians...

> I don't think Hamas is too happy with the current results of their aggression.

This is mostly skill issues.

There's not much magic or difficulty with MFE.

It's the same as when you break your program into multiple libraries, and you just do it all the time.

The moment you do npm install, pip install, cargo install,... you're basically doing the Micro-program already.
A function boundary in a compiler is a lot easier to work with than a network boundary for a service in another repo in another language on another kernel. Those false equivalencies are what drive the cost.
Honestly, at this point it easier to just tape M1/mini off eBay to a monitor of your liking. You won't have a fancy logo, of course.
Version your API, and talk to your consumers before building it so you can design an API that meets their needs. Run a pilot with at least two consumers before even announcing it.
It's an open source project. If a developer wants to go out of their way to make a really cool improvement, goes through the approval process, has a clean implementation that doesn't add any backwards incompatibilities, why do you care? This isn't some private company where management tells people what to do and they have to do it.

People are so out of touch with how OSS, and the volunteer maintainers that operate it, work. It's a shame. The sense of entitlement in a subset of the userbase ("Why aren't they fixing MY issues RIGHT NOW!") is mindblowing.
The assumptions are life looks like is.

Also, in regards to life using electrical signals to process information, gaseous clouds would have to generate signals with lower entropy than white noise from exploding stars.
> Local police are mostly controlled by local institutions, no?

No, they are mostly not controlled by anyone except themselves, and aren't accountable to anybody, because they can disobey and/or corruptly coerce and/or retaliate against people, including elected government officials, who try to hold them accountable, with no repercussions.

And what will remove titanium oxide from wastewater?
Personally I agree. My comment is about public opinion. I’m not arguing the public ought to feel this way but rather that they do feel this way.

That matters for thinking about what products will receive public push-back.
The scans and analysis were cool, but comparing one quality cable from Apple to one budget offering from Amazon and two e-waste options from completely unknown brands isn't enough to answer the leading question "Does Apple’s Thunderbolt 4 cable really warrant its $129 price tag?" Especially considering none of those cables even advertised feature parity with Apple's cable.
Exactly, working as intended.

You want people to hold real assets, not imaginary ones like a currency, because you want people to be invested in your economy. The only intrinsic value a currency have is taxation.

It's not the asking price that determines market rates, nor is it the price that people who aren't currently selling believe their assets are worth. It's the price at which active buyers are willing to buy.

One of the challenges with price discovery in the BTC market, though, is that there's not really an effective mechanism to prevent wash trades in place. That means that all you need to do to create a bunch of fraudulent liquidity at a higher price is create a sock puppet account and start trading with yourself. Anyone sitting on a hoard of BTC is highly incentivized to do this to try and prevent their on-paper losses in the hope that it will mitigate their becoming real losses. And that can concievably become the bulk of BTC trading volume if there isn't a steady supply of new people who are willing to buy in to Bitcoin at any price.
Okay. Thanks.

Than next question - if it is not immoral.

> From what I recall, their overall assessment was that the set designers used strong color design and bold shapes to compensate for their lack of budget.

I thought it was specifically because of (1) the color film process used at the time required it for faithful (-ish) reproduction, and (2) the need to make something that looked good on both black and white and color TVs, as lots of people were still using black and white.
Seriously considering running a JIT-less JavaScript free browser should be the standard for surfing these days, and only whitelisting sites you trust (like your online banking site or Amazon for example). Disabling JS wipes out entire classes of attacks. I know developers assume the user has JS enabled and codes their site to that end, but a small minority disables JS to get rid of various annoyances and for accessibility reasons, and, malware issues in the browser.

This attack can still be pulled off without JS though: using plain old CSS & HTML. It seems these attacks are targeted to the non tech savvy, but even I (tech savvy) get duped by persuasive messages in my browser. This is why I advocate for a Phishing/Malware 101 course which is mandatory for all types of tech-related courses and learning.

If cryptocurrency wasn't so volatile it would be better than worthless government paper because 1) cryptocurrency doesn't lose its value at rate of 2-13% per year 2) nobody will ban your cryptocurrency account if you use it for business 3) nobody will require to provide documentation and proof for every transaction that happened in last 6 months in your account.

Target gives 5% off for paying with ACH, which Target calls its “Debit Redcard”. You cannot use that Debit Redcard anywhere else, because it is not a debit card in the common vernacular, it is just Target’s way of letting you pay with an ACH transaction.

My wife has used manufacturer-provided settings to configure her iPhone to not even ring or give her a "missed call" notification when she gets a call from a number not in her contacts. It's not losing relevance, it's lost relevance so long ago that 5-year-old phones were designed with features that would win business from consumers who recognized that it was poorly regulated.

An element of our younger siblings' (Gen Z) entire culture is a fear of/avoidance towards making and taking phone calls. Communication ecosystems have been built and crossed to the other side of the chicken-and-egg/network-effect hump l because POTS is so bad.

That's kinda what I want to happen: if a telco allows my number to call their customers, their customers claim payments from them, that telco attempts to claim payments from my telco, but, oops, there's no paper trail where I allowed my number to be used that way. Every telco would suddenly have ways to accurately trace a call back to the source and would not allow numbers to be spoofed without verification that the owner is allowing it.

This pretty much sums it up in a darkly hilarious way:

> The panel buildings called khrushchevka are found in great numbers all over the former Soviet Union. They were originally considered to be temporary housing until the housing shortage could be alleviated by mature Communism, which would not have any shortages. Khrushchev predicted the achievement of Communism in 20 years (by the 1980s). Later, Leonid Brezhnev promised each family an apartment "with a separate room for each person plus one room extra", but many people continue to live in khrushchevkas today.
I personally like headers very much and do not understand the hate: They are super simple and efficient.

They do not work well C++ though because it puts the implementation into the header for some reason.

PEP 695 is great. I've been using mypy every day at work in last couple years or so with very strict parameters (no any type etc) and I have experience writing real life programs with Rust, Agda, and some Haskell before, so I'm familiar with strict type systems. I'm sure many will disagree with me but these are my very honest opinions as a professional who uses Python types every day:

* Some types are better than no types. I love Python types, and I consider them required. Even if they're not type-checked they're better than no types. If they're type-checked it's even better. If things are typed properly (no any etc) and type-checked that's even better. And so on...

* Having said this, Python's type system as checked by mypy feels like a toy type system. It's very easy to fool it, and you need to be careful so that type-checking actually fails badly formed programs.

* The biggest issue I face are exceptions. Community discussed this many times [1] [2] and the overall consensus is to not check exceptions. I personally disagree as if you have a Python program that's meticulously typed and type-checked exceptions still cause bad states and since Python code uses exceptions liberally, it's pretty easy to accidentally go to a bad state. E.g. in the linked github issue JukkaL (developer) claims checking things like "KeyError" will create too many false positives, I strongly disagree. If a function can realistically raise a "KeyError" the program should be properly written to accept this at some level otherwise something that returns type T but 0.01% of the time raises "KeyError" should actually be typed "Raises[T, KeyError]".

* PEP 695 will help because typing things particularly is very helpful. Often you want to pass bunch of Ts around but since this is impractical some devs resort to passing "dict[str, Any]"s around and thus things type-check but you still get "KeyError" left and right. It's better to have "SomeStructure[T]" types with "T" as your custom data type (whether dataclass, or pydantic, or traditional class) so that type system has more opportunities to reject bad programs.

* Overall, I'm personally very optimistic about the future of types in Python!

This post reminds me of the difference between declarative and imperative programming.

It would be interesting to see a review and evaluation of different law and regulation making approaches with their outcomes.

My understanding is that plasma panels have a native resolution, similar to a LCD panel. If that native resolution isn't the same as the input resolution, there's typically a scaler in the plasma display that will massage the content to fit, very similar to a LCD panel.

Plamsa panels were commonly available as 1920x1080 or 1366x768. As long as you're watching natural images (movies etc), both are really fine; native 1080 line plasmas are a better fit for computer generated imagery because they're much easier to feed at their native resolution and avoid the scaler; a lack of 4k plasma displays isn't really a big problem, 1080p is still beautiful. Plasma screens don't have support for HDR, but they do have amazing black levels.
