Did you manage to get MyPy + Django to work together usefully? I tried the plugin you mentioned but it still seemed stymied by the dynamic nature of Django (reverse relations, etc), so I gave up on it.

If it’s actually possible to live in typed nirvana with Django I’ll bang my head against the wall some more.

We’re using Django 3.2 btw + FactoryBoy.

Actually there’s a number of annoyingly dynamic Python libraries out there where methods are created dynamically that it feels a bit like playing whack-a-mole. Is the situation like TypeScript where you need a MyLibrary.types.ts for each library?

> Most Leetcode Mediums (...) there's a "trick" embedded in the problem and if you don't already know the trick, you're never going to figure it out in 30 minutes

I am sorry to say, this is just not true.

> but having a few dozen solutions already memorized should let you do some pattern recognition

Chess opening memorization is pure "remember the moves, play the moves" that's it. No thinking or pattern recognition involved.

If this is about being able to solve problems by generalizing from having seen a few dozen solutions, then I don't think "memorizing" is the appropriate term here, at all.
It's volumetric video
Man I used to tell family in India that the US is better despite corruption because the corruption was at very high levels. Companies paying to pass bills that benefit them. That as a citizen you didn’t see it daily. I even used examples of how cops in India do this sort of thing. How naive of me…

How many cameras does this method require? As far as I can tell from the paper it still generates from multi-view source data. I can't say for sure but it seems like a large number from what I can parse as a layman.
I'm of the age where I agree with it being weird and scummy but I can't help but believe that popular perception will eventually drift.

I’ve always wondered, even in criminal cases, even here in France. Do they pin it on someone? Crime is prone to be pinned onto someone, it calms the populations, and it doesn’t matter whether he did it because he’s in jail, so of course he’s angry.

I personally know someone whose lawyer asked him for a large sum in cash in the 7 minutes before a trial, in the antichamber of the court.

As usual on this site, the assumption that 99% of people are complete drooling idiots for anything remotely tech-related runs firm. Believe it or not, a surprisingly large percentage of the population can rather quickly learn to manage relatively non-complex things like holding their own crypto and so forth without having to be specialized devops or top-tier tech workers.

Not everyone outside a certain bubble is blindly stupid just because they do other things with their lives.

Show HN: LinkedIn Prospecting Made Easy
Hey Hackers!

Navigating the intricate landscape of LinkedIn prospecting alongside Sales Navigator can be quite the challenge. I've been through the trenches, investing numerous hours to contact the right prospects with the right messages.
Today, I'm thrilled to introduce a tool I've developed to simplify your LinkedIn journey and streamline those repetitive, time-consuming tasks.
You can check out my tool at www.getcleed.com.

For anyone prospecting with Linkedin, I'd highly value your feedback on how Cleed could improve your experience.

Cheers
If you're nervous, it wouldn't hurt to see to some basic and universally useful things like a disaster kit. You got stored water? Food? a little cash on hand?

You don't have to go full on "prepper" and dedicate a room in your house to supplies and a day of each week to maintaining them; but double checking the flashlight batteries and seeing that there's a few jugs of water for drinking, and a few more for toilet flushing, is not a bad idea.

It won't do anything to fix the world's problems; but then nothing in your power is likely to do that either. What it will do is help remind you of the world you live in and your power to make it better with your own hands.

I would pick vscode over any jetbrains tool for absolutely any language. I do all of my Java, scala, and python in vscode. Use whatever tools you like (that’s why there are so many) but vscode is genuinely good for just about everything.

I can’t bring myself to fight with jetbrains insane configurations (what the hell is a facet?!?)… and some very questionable syntax highlighting.
Interesting! Thanks for the link, but that just explains how to get the hydrogen for the process.

What about the energy to run the HB reaction? It's super high temp and high pressure. Is there a zero carbon way to make that?
No, I'm not suggesting a blacklist. I'm not sure why you'd think "sustainable process" implies a blacklist.

What I am suggesting is that if you're so stressed out by the time you spend on reviewing things that you yell at people, maybe you should hand of some of the reviews to somebody else. (Especially if you believe, as OP - but not Linus - did that it "should have never made it to their inbox")

Yes, I understand that there's a limited number of kernel reviewers. And if the number is too low to deal with the flood of change requests, that's the definition of an unsustainable process.
As a social function, companies as an _institution_ are there to benefit lots of people (like owners, employees, customers, investors, etc).

But individual _companies_ are under the controls of their owners (modulo applicable laws). That's because we empirically figured out that this model works well, and also because we want to incentivize people to start and run companies in the first place.

Also keep in mind that in some sense companies are just legal shells. If you strip assets like eg machine tools, in order to make money you actually need to sell them. But if you do that, someone else has them to use them. They don't just disappear.

Yet another thing: not all companies should be kept around. It's good for less inefficient companies to go bankrupt, and for people to change jobs. (Especially as long as the overall unemployment rate is low enough. But you don't keep that rate low by making it harder to fire or harder to 'pillage' companies. Just the opposite, you get more job creation the easier you make it for people to benefit from creating companies and jobs.)
Sure, more people should have the opportunity to gone school their children and hunting, fishing, and foraging is a great way to feed your family with less environmental impact. Knowing how to set a bone is great in an emergency, but I wouldn't recommend leaning only on that if you have other options. Alcohol does work for pain, though be careful with moonshine as poorly stilled liquor can have nasty side effects.
Is there a conclusion that the taxi service kind of works and just needs to fix a few minor issues around the edges fixed to work in limited city use in many cities, or is it so far away it's not even close?
Depends on the field, in institutions it can be extremely hard to get fired.
Well, you can use the term like that. But you don't impoverish anyone else when you 'pillage' your own stuff.

> The claim that it lags behind the wage change is empirically also not found.

That's within the quote on the comment that you are responding to ... "cumulative wage-price elasticity from three months before up to three months after a minimum wage hike was estimated at about 0.07".

They found that increasing the minimum wage lead was followed by a 0.7% increase in prices 3 months later. 3 months later is "lagging".
The longest trip quoted is 4 minutes. I don't think a cat is going to suffocate in a small tube in 4 minutes, even a very unhappy one.
Honestly with Curb in NYC have been more than happy with taxis. Wish it would be adopted in more cities.
> But humanity so very varied

I agree that the way of learning concepts is a personal preference and that humanity is varied, but this is not related of how our brain mechanisms work. If learning by writing is a human ability, it would work no matter of your personal preference. It would work for any student who tries to study with method and take notes of the lesson.

Listening to lessons and learning is a romantic way of studying, but I'm not sure how practical it is when your test is at the end of a course of 4/6 months. Plus all the others course that you follow at the same time, with the labs exercises, it all make a good amount of material to put in your brain just by listening. In addition to that I would not be able to listen to professors explaining concepts for 6/7h and just learning them immediately. I would fall asleep in the middle of the lessons if I don't actively take notes. A lesson is not just a repetition of a book, but the connection of multiple concepts with linearity, done by a professional expert that knows the subject and usually add small details or new way of seeing things, that books don't do them. Notes help students take notes of this and re-use the concepts when studying for the tests, improving their visualization ability.
> Tactical? Hamas has no AF and limited to no AA

One can't presume to know this. Not with soldiers' lives at stake. Also, there is real risk of regional conflagration. How an air force generates and sustains sorties is closely guarded, even in peacetime, for good reason.

First, you'd scrub the information. Second, you'd weigh whether it's absolutely exonerating. Absent both conditions, it doesn't make sense to release those data.

> What exactly is the strategic goal of Israel?

Removing the ability of a hostile neighbor to project power into their territory. Currently, the chosen route appears to be decapitation. Eliminating the government in Gaza so it cannot wage war.

To do that, Israel--a small country--has to maintain a web of regional and international support. Bombing a hospital might serve tactical aims à la total war. (There are zero cases of bombing a population into submission. The historical precedent is it strengthens resolve. Nevertheless, I mention it for completeness.)

Unless Israel can credibly show this was done by Hamas, it has already lost more than it could have ever hoped to have gained by bombing a hospital. Even if it were smack over an Islamic Jihad weapons depot or whatever.

> how is that accomplished by starving Gaza and cutting off electricity and water

It denies the enemy the capacity to organize and wage war. I'm not ignoring the humanitarian effects. Just noting that power plants have been legitimate military targets for ages, and water supplies since time immemorial.

I guarantee that there will eventually be a vaguely similar (but different!) stack published by each of: NetFlix, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple. Just kidding, Apple won't publish anything.

The IT ecosystem has fragmented into mutually incompatible cliques. You are either in the Google ecosystem, the Amazon ecosystem, or some other one, but there are no more truly open and industry-wide standards.

Look at WebAuthN: it enables a mobile device from "any" vendor to sign on to web pages without a password. Great! Can I transfer secrets from an Apple iPhone to a Google Android phone? Yes? No? Hello? Anyone there?

I just got a new camera. It can take HDR still images, which look astonishingly good. Can I send that to an Apple device? Sure! Can I send it to a Google device? Err... not without transcoding it first... on a Microsoft Windows box. Can I send it to a mailing list of people with mixed-vendor devices? Ha-ha... no.

This is the best argument I've seen for splitting up the FAANGs + Microsoft + NVIDIA. Once they get to this behemoth trillion-dollar scale, they become nations onto themselves and no longer need to cooperate, no longer need to use any open standards at all, and can start dictating and pushing third parties around.

Another random example is HTTP/3, which is basically the "What's best for Google" protocol.

Or gRPC, which is "What Google needs in their data centre".

And now Falcon, which is "The transport Google needs for their workloads".

Does it work for anyone else? I don't know, but it's a certainty that Google doesn't care and never will, because they don't need to.

I still blog, non-anonymously just for the hell of it, less so than I used to due to the pandemic, but I still have my cooking blog (which contains no life stories), programming blog, personal blog (consisting of quips, jokes, movie reviews, music reviews, stupid comics and observations on life) and a few other outlets. Once I work through some things, I will blog some more and also make some more comic books. I still keep my musings reasonably weird. I also pull old stuff from my journals and transcribe them into blog posts, with appropriately old date attached. My public writings go back some 40+ years with actual blog posts going back 28 years since some of my personal websites began in 1995.

https://justin-lloyd.com/ - it's not a blog, it's my C.V., and it has a space invaders game on the web page.
https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores - it's a software project written like a blog

Some people like it, other people tell me they hate it (usually the space invaders game (wow! much unprofessional!1!) and it makes me un-hirable. Oddly enough the people telling me I am un-hirable are usually the people I would never consider working for, who in the next breath also try to convince me I should take a sizable pay cut to work for them.

The oodly weird and just for the sake of it are still out there, in fact, I dare say, more so than it ever was, but frequently people complain about the state of the web, and then immediately open up Facebook or Twitter or use Google to go find their next distraction. Discoverability remains a problem, especially given Google's almost hostile ecosystem of search that favours the recent and viral over the older and evergreen.
It's a good question! I think I'd look at this through the lens of the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations, specifically the dimensions of 'consistency' and 'viscosity' (i.e. is the same thing literally called `title` in one place in the API and `name` in another? how hard is it to change from using one component to another?) and/or 'closeness of mapping' (i.e. do domain experts call it `title` but it's `name` in the API?).

Our metrics would maybe capture some aspects of consistency/viscosity, because `title` and `name` would both count towards vocabulary size, and because the distance between specs would be higher if `title` routinely needs to be changed to `name` when iterating, but that's about it. I don't believe a metrics-based approach like ours can quantify much if any of 'closeness of mapping' because that mostly happens in people's heads, not in the source code itself :)
Just because you're thinking about morality doesn't mean it doesn't start in the world. The world always comes first. There's no void in which you float and do your thinking and then encounter reality.

Everything starts in public. That's where we learn language, how to live and how to reason, including about morality.

Not that specific stats would help me that much.
Whether your landlord owns outright or has a mortgage doesn't make much of a difference for this analysis. That's because even if you own outright, you have opportunity costs of capital.

> If you buy a place for $1,000,000 at 7%, you can’t compete with someone that owes $100,000 at 2.5% on the same place, which is often the reality.

Where does that 2.5% come from?

If mortgages cost more than the rental yield, then your landlord should sell the place and use the proceeds to get into the mortgage business. (If not, your landlord is doing the landlording as a charity, because they are leaving money on the table.)
Of the two sources of superlinear returns here I find step functions the easier one to steer my life happily by. Graduating college is a step function: You go from 0 sheepskin effect to 1 sheepskin effect, and all future employment barriers are made significantly easier to scale. SOC2 compliance is a step that lets you sell 1/10 the feature set to 10 times the enterprises at 100 times the subscription price. An exponential return is the fundamental driver, for sure, but the way you get there is often by hurtling over a sequence of steps.

One huge example for me: Marriage. I went from a long time with 0 wives, and now I have 1 and everything is much much better. What a step! If this is what PG means by a superlinear return sign me up!

Every time you all drive prices of stocks down, layoffs happen. Think twice before you drive the prices of a stock down again, you're part of the cause. Consider selling at a higher price than you bought the stock for.

If you drive stock prices down three times a year, layoffs will happen three times a year.

If you drive stock prices up, they'll go on a hiring spree. It's that simple.

Public private partnership. The city doesn't have the funds up front, so it contracts the work out but part of the payment is a monopoly on running the service for some number of years. This is how the subway was built using the dual contracts (IRT and BMT). Basically the city paid contractors to build the subway, and paid for it in part by letting them run the subway and collect fares.

A costume absolutely can affect the attitude and behavior of the person wearing it. You should try an experiment yourself: go to work one day in your usual outfit. Then, the next day, dress up in drag (assuming you're male) or a furry costume and see if you behave the same.

The costume changes how people perceive you, the assumptions they make about you, and by extension the way you interact with those people.

Card catalogs are still used in many archives and libraries, especially when the cost to digitize them in either time or money is prohibitive. I visited the National Air and Space museum archives once to access a special collection, and one of the main ways they still found documents in this collection was through an old card catalog, though they did have a digital database of most of the information in the card catalog. I only needed to use the digital database but I did also locate one document I was looking for via the card catalog to see how the collection was organized originally. I think card catalogs will continue to be used for certain special collections for a long time.
