If you read the whole context, that is not the point at all. The point is (1) that the Python event would be an effective safe space even in a context of LGBT persecution, and (2) that it's illegitimate and counterproductive to prevent such an event from happening just because it's located in a less than enlightened country. Both of those are valid.
The solution is sousveillance.

Lectures on distributed systems (from Martin Kleppman, the author of DDIA) [pdf]
DDIA = Designing Data Intensive Applications

This book has already become legendary but a bit less known is the set of lectures from Martin Kleppman on distributed systems.

Apart from the great lecture notes, there are also videos:

The course is pretty concise but Martin is a great teacher and the quality is superb as is the book itself.

>I think most people would agree that innovations like the Internet would be much worse with a fraction of their potential if they had been subjected to regulation and governance before their formative period had passed.

When do you think that would've happened without ARPANET? I don't think anyone should celebrate governments becoming too polarized or too ossified to effectively interact with technological advances.
I run outside of the cloud and have fixed costs so in that sense it's no prob :-)

I'd be pissed off if I were an Outlook user - it's a shame that big tech get treated as the "gold standard" - I get that spam prevention is important but it shouldn't hurt your business. Their support is below standards. I wonder how many opportunities Outlook businesses lose because they don't receive certain emails.

That being said, email as a whole could do with being replaced with a more robust solution to make it more versatile and offer other spam prevention techniques.
Korean entertainment does get exported a bit primarily in Asia, but it's valuable domestically that you or your people have access or control over their entertainment.
That might get them to rely on the randomization, though :)
In that case the speedup would be linear.
To get people to take you even more seriously, hammer some number of theses on an organization's door.

Orginally, this train was schedulded to go to depot for maintenance on 21.11.2021, but it broke down a few days earlier and was sent to this bigger maintenance until after New Year. But because of this ifs structure, it stopped out of depot a year later, unintentionally.
At undo.io we're interested in using our time travel capability beyond conventional time travel debugging - a recording file contains everything the program did, without any advance knowledge of what you need to sample, so there's a lot of potential to get other data out of it.

I just read your post and don't think it would take much to integrate with some of the visualisations you posted about, as a first step.

We've played around in the past with a sampling profiler (code here, requires a copy of our product to be useful though it could easily port to rr):
https://github.com/undoio/addons/tree/master/sample_function...
which can output in a format understood by Brendan Gregg's flame frames (https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html)

But that's not quite the kind of tracing you're talking about. We also built a printf-style interface to our recording files, which seems closer:
https://docs.undo.io/PostFailureLogging.html

Something like that but outputting trace events that can be consumed by Perfetto (say) would not be so hard to add. If we considered modifying the core record/replay engine then even more powerful things become possible.
Alternate clickbait headline: "Hackers have access to 99.9% of YOUR DNA!" It's technically correct which is the best kind of correct.
I want to like this theory, and it seems like there is some social clout aspect to the phenomenon.

But, the bump these companies get in the stock market whenever they do a round of layoffs indicates the market cap is justified by what you would expect.
Your TV is actually actively “shazaming” everything you watch. That’s one way ads are attributed to you. TV manufacturers sell that data, that’s one of the reasons TVs are so cheap now - the ad view data is the real money.

> We know that there are some extraordinary attitudes at work within the PSF. A PSF Board member once openly expressed the opinion that Anglo cultures always seem to be the ones that take the moral lead around the world, leaving others to follow their example. From any non-western perspective, this is an astounding idea to receive.

> That’s not a solitary episode. We understand that (notwithstanding the PSF’s ambition to support Python in Africa) a PSF Director has consistently spoken out against funding for African events, over a period of years.

Okay we need names.
That's a common enough error that it's become well-known slang. People are used to it and can figure out the intended meaning by intonation and context. Although it's still one of those things that can confuse folks who aren't fluent in English.

"I can't say I'm surprised" or
"I'm not surprised"
would be much clearer here if the intention is to say this is NOT surprising. "I can't say I'm not surprised" is confusing enough that the intention is not clear. Logically it implies surprise.

Probably after a couple more years. ARPANET accelerated progress but the idea of large interconnected networks is an obviously useful one and the technology to build was coming to maturity at that point in time.

In an ideal world I agree with you with you about effective governance, in the one we live in I’m not so sure.
Apollo wasn't travelling all over 100+ countries scooping up podcasts and speaking to growing artists though. Your comparison is weird, the goals are quite different.
The reason this worked is, that the back-action of the moon on the sun is very insignificant. For a "real" chaotic three-body system, you need three bodies that interact with each other on comparable scales.
Plenty places to not have fiber. I am using Ziggo (cable) with 600Mbit down and 60Mbit up. It's sufficient but since they have a monopoly they can set the price however they want. I can lower my cost by switching over to Odido with 1Gbit fiber (up and down) for €30 less a month...
Would they come after you if you brought your same sex partner? If you had a rainbow pin? Does it really matter where the exact limit goes? Would you feel safe being in a country where your sexuality was illegal? No way I would take that chance for a python conference.
Will it be viable to use SIMD to further optimize the algorithm when the predicate is simple enough? For example, one can imagine that you take v[j] .. v[j+N-1] and somehow weed them into two partitions u[0] .. u[k] and u[k+1] .. u[N-1] (probably in SIMD registers), which get pasted accordingly at v[i] or v[j]. The current assembly indeed looks very tight but a higher throughput at the expense of longer code is a common theme in SIMD, I guess.

I think the point was not properly made on their behalf. That said, do the organizers of the conference have any saying on the politics on their country and actually deserve to be punished because of them?

I don't really think so.
I recently discovered that Dan Carlin has a series on this topic, "Hardcore History 60 - The Celtic Holocaust". I just listened through, and it's pretty solid. Based on the number of deaths and attitude, I think "genocide" is pretty fine, but he makes it clear that the Gauls actually had a fighting chance in their fights. In some timelines, the Romans get sent home with a bloody nose and no intention to return for a while.
Not answering for African or Python community standpoint, but surely in Muslim country there are people monitoring. For example, recently for Coldplay in Malaysia.

Yes, I know, the point was not to say that it's safe to depend on this universally, but rather why it's safe in JS and why it's not elsewhere -> other languages use hash maps simply because authors were either lazy or unaware of the original behaviour. (which sucks, in my opinion, but nobody can fix it now)
Advent of Code in PostgreSQL: Tips and Tricks from 2022
What is an effective safe space other than saying "relax, generally nothing happens"? Are you guaranteeing their safety? Of course not. I live in a "less than enlightened" country and I do know when everything feels safe tiny little things can lead to catastrophic consequences. I experience it regularly. Effective means nothing.
q3k was one of the guys involved in this hacking.
Of course there's mistakes in papers. It's not that avoiding them isn't the primary motivation for formalization because they don't happen. It's not the primary motivation because mistakes in math papers happening sometimes is OK.

If some result is wrong (as opposed to just details in a proof which could be fixed) and it turns out to be an important result, the mistake is found eventually. This fairly rare occurrence wastes some time for people who maybe used the result and build upon it, but arguably a lot less time than it would take to formalize all papers with existing tools. This might change in the coming decades as formalization becomes easier.

The perspective that this is not the main motivation is also the position of people working on Lean's Mathlib. E.g. Kevin Buzzard has said this at https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/270676-lean4...

And that’s their problem, not mine. If they structure their email campaigns such that it takes a long time to update every database, that’s a design choice on their side. When that design choice means they effectively ignore my unsubscribe, well, I don’t see why that should receive any sympathy.
When I last looked (over a year ago) when I was looking to buy/lease an electric car I was comparing cars and Tesla WAS the worst option at that moment and the Hyundai IONIC was the most efficient one; but I can not find the original source. BTW I had to settle on a gasoline power car as I do not have the money for an electric car.

The logic gates described in that link are more complicated than just coupled harmonic oscillators. They have things like ratchets, or they block each other, or there is buckling.

The quantum algorithm couldn't simulate these things.
Perfect is the enemy of good.

You probably can't have a perfect convention under these circumstances, but having a convention at all can improve the situation in the long term. Helping the local coding community will, sooner or later, provide them with additional income and knowledge.
Just keep in mind that you need working reverse DNS record and not all cheap provides support it. Also cheaper hosting solutions usually have worse IP reputation.

I may be in the minority here but I still enjoy the Joe Rogan Experience. As an avid listener the past 12 years I can tell you he is not "right wing" in any way. He was a liberal and believes the left "left him behind" when progressivism hijacked the democratic party. Most intellectually honest humans agree with him.
Jabber transports, they were great.

Are you guys familiar with AI chat or AI chatbots for customer service?
Oh, it's still fairly prominent, in searches, but I'm finding the answers to be less and less useful. It's become pretty much worthless, to ask questions, anymore. I end up answering my own questions. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, someone will throw in an insult. If I'm not lucky; without actually helping.

I got used to the insults, as they usually came with useful answers, but that hasn't been the case, in quite a while.

I tend to get most of my actual help from blog posts and Substack articles (even clickbaity ones can be helpful). I'm seldom presented with "the answer," but they usually help to figure out how to get a start.
Its a network of exponentially many coupled classical oscillators, not quantum harmonic oscillators. This is a new result.
If you like this kind of bomb then you should check out the various diy powerwall channels and blogs. Some of those I can't watch without yelling at the screen.
By that logic the Outlook for Windows team should be responsible for patching Gmail for Android.

This argument is silly. You could use this line of reasoning to justify why all computers should use the same OS from the same vendor. Of course then you'd have a monoculture where implementation bugs that cause vulnerabilities are universally exploitable, instead of only exploitable on machines running that vendor's software.

Another data point: since 2021, every time I clicked the unsubscribe link, I stopped receiving emails from those services.

I also haven't seen those email addresses passed on to someone else (I use unique aliases).
I don’t think so. The ability to keep drilling down deeper and deeper and the amazing sort and grouping functionality make it supremely useful.

The other tool I didn’t mention is WinDbg. In my opinion, it’s the greatest debugger on any platform.
That's literally how any 'anti-state' action works, ever.
Does an individual Russian have a say in what Putin does in Ukraine?
Probably not. But countries are a collection of its citizens.
The only way to 'punish' a country is to punish its citizens. Sometimes it's more direct, other times less.
But at the end of the day, any and all actions will trickle down to punishing individuals, because that's simply how actions against countries (or any other organized group of people) work.
They have exponentially many classical oscillators, but then they simulate them with their quantum algorithm with exponential speed up. The two exponential factors cancel and you end up with a quantum algorithm for a BQP complete problem which runs in polynomial time.

What's a half-block and how do I use one?
You don't need LGBT hunt squads. All you need is the fact that a gay couple holding hands or kissing publicly is unsafe.

"Then just don't kiss publicly".
Sure, hiding one's sexuality isn't that hard, especially for a short period of time.
But that's the whole problem: they shouldn't have to hide it in the first place.

Home people might know you, but in home country you are against only bigoted individuals, not the entire state.

Objectively, will a python conference attended by an African be more dangerous than that person's everyday life? No.
But that's not what it's about.
What this is about is PSF's having no tolerance for places that are breaking human rights. And if you want to be part of that community and enjoy its perks, you have to adhere to cultural standards that PSF perceives are essential.

I have an older (cheapo) UPS that I just replaced the battery on, which is
probably over 15 years old now. It was much easier than I thought.

Coincidentally, right after I replaced the battery and left it to charge
overnight, it saved my workstation from a power outage [events which aren't too
common in my location] the very next day. It was quite satisfying to be able to
save my work and shut down properly.

The old battery had stopped working long before replacement. So I guess the UPS
was no better than a surge protector at that point.
A use-case I can imagine is e.g. a password vault, a banking app, or a secure messaging app that you want isolated from everything. Even when running. And where "everything" includes infected apps, an infected host or even physical access.

Not sure if this architecture can handle that, nor of it's the best architecture to solve this problem, though.
(I spent too much time to listen to talk radio in the 90s to understand this question at first. It's not about temporal reversal, but trying to reveal the original audio behind an AI enhanced/transcoded voice.)

I think so. There's a whole field of voice biometrics working in this area. I've experimented with such tools and you have to work hard to copy someone's vocabulary, timing, and cadence. If you speak or sing in your normal voice and convert it, there are huge tells, somewhat akin to those used in stylometry to identify the owners of sock accounts (indeed, if someone actually used TTS, it mostly becomes a stylometry problem, unless services like ElevenLabs were to add inaudible watermarks or something).
At the same time, software should not be tied to politics. People should be able to hold different political views while taking part in software conferences.
You aren't wrong. Tanzania != Malaysia, as another commenter seemed to think. Their version of Sharia is nowhere near as strict.

Incidents of violence are the product of opportunity and generally perpetrated through in-group policing. Westerners and other African travellers are less exposed, so in the case of an LGBT developer from the US travelling to Zanzibar (which is also a very special case relative to the rest of Tanzania) I doubt they'd be in any real danger unless they were publicly displaying unambiguous attraction to the same-sex. I know an openly gay couple living in Kinshasa, which is a much more dangerous environment.

This is a very cheap shot from PSF and a classic case of perfect defeating good.

Came for this comment. Why is there no COP/SCOP mentioned at all... If you want to get into the market you should be competitive. And the COP of 4.0 you mention is actually the lower end. I'm heating with an AC as air-to-air heatpump now for the second winter and I chose the most efficient that I could get with a SCOP of over 6. And for the first winter I also could reach these numbers.
