AOC is pretty low stakes, so it doesn't really make sense to put too much effort into it. For the average person they can get a lot faster by automating all the input downloading/submitting/etc and writing a huge number of utilities in their language of choice than by learning an array language.

Each year probably only a single digit number of people using an array language actively try for leaderboard spots, so if anything it's impressive any of them manage compared to the 100x or 1000x number of python/etc programmers also competing.

The preceding Speaker had been in Congress for 16 years (note: also not "since the late 1980s"), but had also been in caucus leadership positions all but the first two, and was #3 in the party caucus arte four years. Yeah, the current Speaker is ane extreme case, but it's simply not the case that position is simply a function of longevity normally.
Actually doesn't matter if you do or if you don't, since it can't be proven. What matters is whether or not somebody accuses you of "fixing it in a way that it breaks".
> Even as tablets are distributed in school from the primary cycle, note taking and exams are all done on paper.

My kid takes tests on the computer. And when I was in law school almost 20 years ago, students mostly took notes on computers, and tests were computerized as well.

I will note that when I was studying for the bar I found it incredibly helpful to re-write my daily lecture notes by hand.

> Not all international travel is party tourism.

Tourism from Great Britain to Amsterdam is party tourism. They are increasing the volume of tourists they can cart in with a transportation mode that's even cheaper at the expense of taking longer trips. These are not business types. In fact British tourism is already synonym of booze tourism.
In Japan these are a taboo.
That's nurture, not nature.
I'm personally fine with 24 and 48 FPS (without interpolation), but what I absolutely can't stand is a variable rate. I saw Avatar 2 in the cinema with this, and it ruined the experience for me. Switching down always felt like the projector is lagging.

For writing feel, the iPad gives you a lot of options from slick glass (the default) to many different screen protectors with different trade offs for writing friction, glare, and screen clarity. The Remarkable screen doesn't have as many options, but you might not miss them. The screen is very nice to write on.

For functionality, the iPad is much more advanced. It's faster (less pen latency), has fantastic text recognition, built in camera (which is great for capturing whiteboards), color, slightly higher resolution, etc... You also have more options for note taking apps. I personally use GoodNotes and Procreate for almost everything.

The biggest drawback for me with the Remarkable is the small screen. The big iPad has a screen close to A4 size which is fantastic for reading and marking up documents. The smaller Remarkable screen forces you to either shrink the document or do a lot of panning. There are 13" eink screens (like the Quaderno) and I hope the next generation of Remarkable devices offer it as an option.
If it's thousand, it should be a K with the metric system... But I guess 40KKK would raise some eyebrows. Yet another reason to keep imperial units.

The extreme cost of Sellafield is due to waste and accidents from the UK's nuclear weapons program, not its commercial power generation program.

The vast, overwhelming, majority of waste was created by processing nuclear fuel into plutonium (and other radioactive elements) for bombs. The UK was under enormous pressure in the 50s and 60s to keep up with both the US and USSR so they cut tons of corners to have a domestic bomb.

The article "for some reason" conflates the two: the waste from their nuclear weapons research and development and (extremely minimal) environmental impact of commercial power generation.

I would consider sacrificing living children to be brutal and grotesque no matter who does it or for what reason, Roman, Carthagian or Aztec, or anyone else. As for your premise, it's flawed. For a society whose world view supposedly stems from Roman culture, we're kept extremely aware by many sources about how brutal the Romans could be too. It's hardly something painted pretty by modern media or books. Quite the opposite.

It's also generally absurd to think that I must automatically be influenced by some propaganda if I consider plausible the ancient records and evidence of another society's extreme sacrificial practices.

As another comment in this reply thread mentions, (though it mistakes Aztecs with Maya), people spent decades thinking that accounts of mass Aztec child sacrifice were colonial era-biased exaggerations, until mass graves of children were much more recently found showing signs not only of sacrifice but torture in advance (to induce tears for the god Tlaloc among other reasons).

Sometimes historical cultures are just awful in certain ways that have to be mentioned in posterity, even if we can appreciate other aspects of those cultures. This applies to any culture and should.

No, as I understand it, the Django project's stance on type hints is that they aren't going to be added any time soon, but they are willing to accept small PRs that are needed by external type-checkers on a case by case basis. Details here: https://github.com/django/deps/pull/65
Brings back fond memories. I was at JSC in Houston and took on a consulting job to convert a massive data manipulation and statistical analysis program that ran in COBOL on an IBM 370 to run on an IBM PC. I did a portion of the code in Turbo Pascal just for fun on a bet that it would run faster (in terms of user wait time) and it did—-45 minutes down to 5. Then I wrote the rest of the code, optimized, and got my first 80286-based PC and we got sub-minute processing times. At that point I convinced my friend that we could dispense with the collection of the massive data set via bubble scan sheets filled out in the field with an early laptop computer. We went through multiple iterations and improvements over a few years and the system ran for 15+ years, albeit on much improved hardware as time went on.
Long-term project health rests on bigger things like API design, database choices, or service layout.
Despite having such a rich history of body art? Actually the history itself answers my question. I get it.
I can never wrap my head around why costs like this are so high. If you consider most industrial processes involve digging stuff out of the ground and turning it into something else, and that work is done by people using machines built by other people also made of stuff dug out the ground then the cost must surely be bounded by bits of land you have to dig up and people you have to pay to do stuff. It’s not like cleaning up Sellafield requires a 100 high stack of Da Vinci paintings or anything else artificially rare like that.

So with £60k salaries all round costing the employer £120k in total and a 25 year work schedule — that’s £3m per worker. Does that mean 90k people are involved?

Maybe the only part of this that’s so crazy is the 25 year project timeline? By contrast the British Armed Forces must be employing about the same number of people over about the same amount of time?
I actually did, and visited the US many times after. I saw the good and the bad. In both countries.

There is no hard feeling, except that I want to express that the US while being a nice country to life is not the "pursue a better life" destination. It is all very relative.
AFAIK, just about any time you get a call from a business - the specific desk phone that you were called from has a number, but they prefer to ID as the receptionist or the menu system so you'll get that when you call back.

Do video formats support structured meta data to be embedded in them?

If I make a video of me cooking, can I embed the recipe in the video, etc. Not just visually, but i.e. at 10s, I digitally insert the data "Add 1 cup red peppers". It isn't necessary a caption of something said or shown, just extra data.

Could a video creator leave substantially more metadata in their videos? I always assumed the pop-up metadata was externally stored and timestamp synced. Is there a way to embed it?

Me too.

Do you wish to suggest that Smalltalk implementations had "C performance" ?

Do you wish to suggest that some Smalltalk programs should still be a little faster than corresponding Ruby +YJIT programs ? (But then NodeJS.)

Do you wish to suggest that Ruby +YJIT programs should be faster than corresponding CPython programs ?
It amazes me that humans continue to have this perverse desire to fix what isn't broken.
The "meat" of the paper is not bad — they correctly differentiate between necessary and unnecessary uses, and try to demonstrate that unsafe is not always necessary for performance.

However, there is a lot of sloppy wording in this paper. It has many not-quite-accurate descriptions of Rust's semantics, which could make readers misunderstand how unsafe actually works. For example:

> Rust still supports pointers but considers dereferences of raw pointers undefined behaviors. Its compiler will raise an error when encountering raw pointer dereferences

They probably mean that it's not allowed to dereference raw pointers in safe code, but UB is an entirely different concept.

> Rust allows unsafe code […] where the safety restrictions are dropped and
low-level controls are granted. As language restrictions no longer work for unsafe Rust blocks […]

All restrictions of safe Rust are still enforced in `unsafe{}` blocks. The semantics of references and ownership never change. Unsafe code gains additional abilities to perform operations that could bypass/break safety invariants if written incorrectly, but that's something else than a blanket "safety restrictions are dropped".

And the description of `[repr(C)]` and FFI that says they can only use raw pointers is just plain incorrect. C layout doesn't affect safety of types, and FFI can use several C-ABI-compatible safe Rust types.

I had a Rio Karma, it remains to this day one of my favorite piece of tech I've owned. The UI was simple and fast, and the tactile buttons let me control playback by touch alone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Karma

After my Rio broken (failed HD, and a terrible pain in the butt to take apart, and beyond my skills to put back together...) I got an iAudio X5 L and stuck Rockbox on it. After a few years, I upgraded the HDD to a CF-Card using a CF-to-miniIDE adaptor. I loved the battery life on that thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAUDIO#iAUDIO_X5

But, sadly, now I just use a phone for everything.

I am very happy though that I can at least have foobar2000 on my phone. But, I really miss the well thought-out tactile UI of my previous dedicated players.

Twice as much code for the same functionality. They are better if you have a heavily interactive frontend. But th majority of apps don't need that. Github uses a traditional server side renderrd app, if I am not mistaken, and no on has complained about that.
That's interesting because I've had basically the opposite experience. I used encoding/json with BadgerDB and saw that json.Unmarshal in a hot loop was using about 68% of total CPU time in a profile taken from production. By switching to gob it significantly decreased to around 28% (for gob's decode function). I've read that decoding interfaces in gob is slow[1], maybe that accounts for my difference as I don't have any in this particular struct. Also this was a very read-heavy service, so that could be a major difference as well.

There is a header that htmx injects to indicate you want a partial render, and it’s really not that hard to add an if on the server-side to check for it. A larger codebase would probably break templates up anyway for maintainability, so it’s just a tiny amount of extra work if you want to reduce the amount of HTML being sent over the wire and swapped in.
Key Announcements from ModCon 2023
I'm a little biased here, since my family runs a small Boston-area AM radio station, but... no? It's not a huge business, but it is a full-time job for a few people and carries advertisements for local businesses. There are other local stations keeping the spirit alive as well (WJIB, rip Bob Bittner).

Sure, you'll anger the bigger stations, but you'll also hurt all the smaller stations that play by the rules and do something interesting, and interfering with that will only hasten their inevitable death to newer (and cheaper) technologies. There are plenty of other, open broadcast mechanisms to use out there.
Pre-Ukraine situation there used to be a train between Helsinki (Finland) and St Petersburg (Russia) that did this: border checks on a high-speed train. Definitely some of the more serious checks and visa requirements on that border as well.
It's funny, because GitLab feels pretty bad. It's slow, there are weird places where things require a full page reload, and it's extremely aggressive about hiding files that have significant changes (yes, small changes are better, but I still need to review big ones some of the time).

You seem to be thinking about short circuits. That's not what my post is about. (Anyway, plastic conduits are quite capable of containing the mess.)

And yes, they are way less dangerous if you have ground fault protection. To the point that I'm not sure it's still important to ban them. But they don't have any upside either.
Great that we’ve established you’re not Portuguese, so you are likely talking about the societal structure of a country you haven't visited.

I have no idea who thinks private security is a rarity in Europe. They exist in every European country I can remember.

Seriously perhaps try and be more sceptical of mass media.

Cocaine and ketamine measurements being “among the highest in Europe” continues to make my point. They are not the highest or 2x or 3x higher, which is what a lot of naysayers said would happen. They’re just high but within European levels. Nothing exceptional.

The difference being that Portugal has never engaged in mass incarceration of drug users, or the construction of a police apparatus that would cost 10x the cost of the current program to run so they could chase after drug addicts. Other countries did. And what do they have to show for it? Nothing. Same usage levels as Portugal, which again all naysayers said was on its way to becoming a new Sodom.

Turns out criminalisation makes virtually no difference in usage. The implications of this are more interesting than most comments here about it.
Instead of gating at review time, an org could gate at deployment time to achieve that SOC2 compliance.

It appears that Netflix does do CR: "Netflix uses a feature branch workflow, where developers create new branches for each feature they're working on. These branches are then reviewed through a pull request process, where other developers can review the code and provide feedback" [1]

The other thing that makes up for the dearth of quality commercial radio in Boston is the ability to stream stations from all over the world. I stream to WMHT classical from Albany and the BBC Radio new music channels even though I don't live in the broadcast areas.

I am using it myself on a branch I haven't pushed to production. I would say DRF has better documentation and more packages that extend its behavior (like exporting to Excel). Ninja is a lot cleaner though, it works better with type checkers, and if you are also using FastAPI there is basically no learning curve.
Owners and readability are constraints of the version control system, not the code review system.

Now, finding somebody with authority to approve is a constraint of code review. But that would be true of any code review tool. So it's not really fair to complain about.
Hopefully these are in-scope when it comes to accepting or rejecting PRs and are not just considered incidental to whatever the stated purpose of the PR is. What you listed appears to be more fundamental system design concerns so hopefully they are candidates for further review.
Used to be that I switched every 2-3 years (on average). Sometimes because the work was no longer challenging. Sometimes because I just couldn't handle working for a jerk manager or CEO. And sometimes because another company offered more money.

Now I tend to stay in a job for as long as I can -- I've been at my current one for the past 6 years. It's not the perfect or dream job, but the work is better than OK and the pay's not bad.

Ask HN: What perfect software did you discover of recent?
Of recently I discovered three tools that I would describe as perfect i.e solving my problem exactly.

What services or products would you describe as perfect for your needs?

The first was Arbitrage Calculator [1].
Its. A tool I used for sports betting Arbitrage to compute the arbitrage conditions & payouts.

The second is Obsidian [2]
This has completely replaced Google Keep as my notes taking app.

The third has been Lithium [3].
I currently do 90% of my book reading in this app. The ergonomics of epub copies is just perfect and this is a perfect epub reader.

Fourth is Scrivener. [4]
Planning to write by first book with this. It's just perfect.

Last is Button Down [5]
This allowed me to add a subscription page on my statically hosted blog. And the minimalistic nature of the service made it perfect.

Even if you THINK you are indispensable, even if you are 100% CORRECT that you ARE indispensable, plenty of gamblers exist in management, and will happily try and route around you. Maybe it doesn't work out every time, but it works out often enough to encourage companies to keep doing it.

It's so much easier to fire one person than the entire department. It's really hard for your manager to replace you when your coworkers say "naw we aren't doing their work without being paid their salary". And guess what? If you're a cunt, unions can, you know, not strike! They can 100% stand by as someone gets fucked over. Ask any member of a teachers union.

Companies don't jettison entire profitable divisions of the company to kill Unions in the crib (walmart) because they DON'T get the workers a larger slice of the pie lol. Companies don't play you anti-union propaganda on your training day because unions mean they pay less for talented workers lol. If unions truly reduced the price of real talent, companies would start unions themselves!

Comment for the commenters - With job changing after 20 years, there is often another gorilla in the room - health insurance.
Want to be floored, start looking at health insurance costs when you hit 50. See them jump when you hit 55. Get truly floored when you turn 60.
This often means that older employees often have their health insurance as their biggest expense.

"Shelley wrote the poem in friendly competition with his friend and fellow poet Horace Smith (1779–1849), who also wrote a sonnet on the same topic with the same title." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias

Horace's entry is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias_(Smith)

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
The wonders of my hand."— The City's gone,—
Naught but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder — and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place

Shelley's is arguably better but I like both.
