I ended up running with Google Forms and using rclone to sync the data to Dropbox. I use rclone anyway for backups, so should have thought of this in the first place.

I continue to use Google products but I am determined not to rely on any of their services in case they "go away". I know with this solution I will always have my data.
There's a lot of Django going on in the world.

shrug. If we're talking personal experience, I've been using Python since 1.4. It's been my primary development language since the late 1990s, with of course speed critical portions in C or C++ when needed - and I know a lot of people who also primarily develop in Python.

And there's a bunch of Python development at CERN for tasks other than OS scripting. ("The ease of use and a very low learning curve makes Python a perfect programming language for many physicists and other people without the computer science background. CERN does not only produce large amounts of data. The interesting bits of data have to be stored, analyzed, shared and published. Work of many scientists across various research facilities around the world has to be synchronized. This is the area where Python flourishes" - https://cds.cern.ch/record/2274794)

I simply don't see how a Python JIT is going to make that much of a difference. We already have PyPy for those needing pure Python performance, and Numba for certain types of numeric needs.

PyPy's experience shows we'll not be expecting a 5x boost any time soon from this new JIT framework, while C/C++/Fortran/Rust are significantly faster.

How to Guess a Gradient
If this is their best argument then they might as well save some money and stop paying the lawyers on this one.
>Why people think it can be related to Rails

Probably because there have been more high-profile stories of companies migrating off of Ruby on Rails to something else (e.g. Java, Go, etc) rather than vice-versa of migrating into it.

E.g. the high-profile story of Twitter's previous "whale fail" scaling problems supposedly being partially solved by switching from Ruby to Java/Scala/JVM : https://www.google.com/search?q=twitter+whale+fail+ruby+rail...

Ruby may be unfairly blamed but nevertheless, the narrative is already out there even though other big sites like Shopify, etc still use it.
Interesting!

Laziness in this context has huge advantages in reducing memory allocation. Many operations can be fused together, so there's less of a need to allocate huge intermediate data structures at every step.
Far too many people think of git as a tool to push/pull code from a remote location. A glorified scp basically. Git is a distributed version control system.

Well, GraalPython is a Python JIT compiler which can exploit dynamically determined types, and it advertises 4.3x faster, so it's possible to do drastically better than a few percent. I think that's state of the art but might be wrong.

That's for this benchmark:

https://pyperformance.readthedocs.io/

Note that this is with a relatively small investment as these things go, the GraalPython team is about ~3 people I guess, looking at the GH repo. It's an independent implementation so most of the work went into being compatible with Python including native extensions (the hard part).

But this speedup depends a lot on what you're doing. Some types of code can go much faster. Others will be slower even than CPython, for example if you want to sandbox the native code extensions.
The US is interesting in that regard as you can sample high trust & low trust micro-societies within an hour of each other.

A lot of "NY/SF or nowhere" types have forgotten their prior lives, or simply never lived outside their bubble. I have many friends like this in NY and I find the "global citizen but only leave my city when I take a jet to another country" demographic fascinating.

Living in NYC or SF is great, but you know there's more to the world than your downtown condo & the same dozen European/Asian cities and tropical resorts you fly to 1-3 times/year.

You may find that the surrounding "nowhere", "flyover country" and "the burbs" you frown upon do bring something to the table and at least are worth experiencing from time to time. You may find it does almost feel like another country in some respects.
But how do I find someone with a clone of the repo I'm looking for?
I guess I'll be keeping an eye out for NYT editorials demanding the return of Klippenstein to Twitter.
This is on the same shelf as when they tried to convince EU that iPhone is not in fact a phone, so their ask about using a standardized charger doesn’t apply.

One of the reasons why I switched to laser printers years ago: Even though I print infrequently, it seemed like every time I printed a few pages I needed to go buy a very expensive ink cartridge.

One day, when I was a little short on disposable income, I walked into Fry's and a B&W laser printer was cheaper than a new ink cartridge. Because I printed so infrequently, (and was mostly printing concert tickets, driving directions, and "disposable notes,") I decided it was worth giving up color for something that "works."

I've since switched to a color laser. (LED, really.) The toner lasts forever, but the printer was much more expensive than an inkjet.
Ah yes, because version control is only about file storage.

But I am not even sure about this, I would love to be challenged.
I would love to do things that are hard.

I mean, there is no point in all of this, at the very least
I could shoot for the stars for the time that I have left on
this cursed planet.

I've been sort of doing this backend stuff for 12 years already

So I am asking a general question, what would you do
in my place.

Thank you,

I've come to appreciate Aldi; my wife's nose for bargains has helped me see that they hit a sweet spot of lowest price/sufficient quality for many items.

However, their days of being genuinely cheaper than other options may be numbered, as the market balances out. I see the new stores in my part of the US trying to emit a more upscale vibe, and I've seen instances of individual items being sold at much higher prices than you can get them at in bulk at Costco.

This seems to undermine one of the main arguments that was used against Beeper Mini, mainly that iMessage access was "purchased" by buying an Apple device, and so Beeper Mini users were "stealing" iMessage.
Excalibur is highly effective when not being jammed by Pole-21 systems. It's just that Ukraine currently doesn't have enough systems to counter the GPS jamming. GMLRS faces the same issues. Both systems have inertial guidance in the face of jamming, but the accuracy drops off quite a bit. Just means you need to launch more GMLRS per target, or attack when jamming is off.

Can't tell if this comment is sarcastic, but that's exactly what git is: Every clone of the repo is independent, and acts as a full backup. Likewise, a local repo can be pushed to various remotes, there is no inherent strong server-client coupling (even though it's often used in such a way).

You have now officially "jumped the shark" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark).

I am not doing any backpedaling whatever but unraveling your comments point-by-point and showing up your ignorance of Boehm's work/significance throughout. Also am pointing out your sneaky way of twisting/misrepresenting my words into something which was never said.

You are now throwing everything and the kitchen sink in to a mass of incoherent text with no unifying thread and not related to what we started with. This is merely more useless "Gish Gallop" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop). If you want a discussion on different topics submit a new thread and have people participate.

As mentioned previously, You have presented no evidence from any source but merely your opinions which amount to nothing in the absence of knowledge of Boehm's work.

You are making up your own laughable stories about what Dijkstra/Others thought about Boehm/his work and vice-versa with no evidence to back up any of it. Your imagination seems to be working overtime to argue some point of your own making none of which are tenable.

I sincerely suggest that you heed the advice in the last para of my previous comment and take a break.
Growing up, it was clear that an old stone wall was removed to build my parents' house. There were parts of the wall in the woods between the properties, but the spot that would have gone through the house was removed.

I was disappointed when my parents and their neighbor removed one of the walls so they could clear some trees and put in a fence. There's just so much charm in these old stone walls.
I mean GTA Online is a microtranscation/grindfest experience, mostly to milk kids of their money. It's not really worth the time due to how grindy it is.

Most PC gamers play multiplayer mods like RageMP that allow connecting to servers with well-made scripted gamemodes like RP, but also stuff like death match where hackers are actually banned I'd guess.

I looked into PR and you're correct. That's at least better than expectations.
Perhaps "many" would have been better. If you only count companies that view themselves as IT companies then number of companies with self hosted/managed solution grows, but if you include everything then I'd guess that more than 50% don't run these services internally. If you're every small company with one or two developers that doubles as the IT staff then the numbers add up pretty quickly.
Devices can't literally own a person, so it's not the correct use.

Nice, another candidate for my current still-ongoing engine checking-out journey!

Looked around the space recently with a focus on "Linux-usable, C++-able, Vulkan-able non-abandoned/non-rather-too-outdated engines today" (license unimportant in my search) and came away with: Unreal 5, Flax Engine, Godot (C++ story shaky / WIP, C++ is not a first-class game-dev scenario here AFAICT), Wicked Engine. (There's more out there that I ruled out for this or that reason and thus forgot about by now.)

Top candidates for me ended up being UE and Wicked, the latter currently preferred due to my actual (somewhat foggy/fuzzy =) code-first & code-mostly use-case idea. UE5 has way more batteries-included but it feels heavy and presses your C++ coding into a cage of its various de-facto-required macros, the whole setup seems to throw off both major VSCode extensions for C++, and its hit-or-miss hot reload thingie. Everything very geared to its authoring environment, understandably. But I really just want "engine as a linked .so library" here for my stuff..

Isn't the point that if pure Python was faster they wouldn't need to be written in other [compiled] languages? Having dealt with Cython it's not bad, but if I could write more of my code in native Python my development experience would be a lot simpler.

Granted we're still very far from that and probably won't ever reach it, but there definitely seems to be a lot of progress.

The user agent header has always been a mistake. I'm not sure what companies like Google are thinking when they block features from working based on the user agent. In Firefox, I use an add-on that randomizes the user agent string, and I've configured it to use a handful of the most common user agent strings. Occasionally, parts of YouTube will break because of a certain user agent configured, like chats or chat replay, showing nothing but a broken frame with no meaningful information to a non-developer. I guess one could say that it encourages people to update their browsers, or use Chrome which auto-updates, but come on. If a feature legitimately doesn't work, then the user still has to update to a modern browser anyway.
With whatever the thing is I need to talk to them about.

Uff. Doesn't sound good for others.
This isn't some obscure b2b product, this is GTA5. Surely somebody at rockstar had, yknow, played the game? And noticed they were losing hours of their life on a loading screen? Hell, it's so long you could file a complete bug report in that time.

My theory is the fix existed internally but was never merged for weird political reasons. Some have guessed it was due to advertising being done on the loading screen. Or it could have been pure dysfunction, like how fixes for all the notepad.exe problems apparently existed at Microsoft for decades, but it took a full rewrite to have working undo.
Is HN for the spreading of untruths?

Should the HN guidelines perhaps be modified to reflect that pursuit of truth has an undocumented upper bound that shall not be breached? That way it would be more transparent what HN is about, though it would give up the powerful flexibility and illusory nature of ambiguity. Tough call!

'Unsolvable' Code Hidden in Antique Dress Pocket Is Finally Cracked
Given everything I've seen so far, I'd bet good money that what happened here was miscommunication between Spirit and Boeing. Spirit started out locking down the plug, then Boeing asked them to just loosely attach it[1] so Boeing could yank the plug for interior/wiring/AC/paint, then someone at Boeing forgot about the "loosely". So now, they get in a hurry (maybe the AC/interior didn't need any access to work on, which makes sense for this MAX variant, it wouldn't need as many hatches to pull wire) and it went down the Renton line as if the plug was fully installed. It's enough to pass high blow inspection and other inspections, but then over time that "shipment config" attachment vibrated out, and pop goes the plug.

Almost certainly systemic issue though, so that sucks. Sucks real bad.

They need to get a Tiger Team or whatever together to look at everything with a shipment config, and make sure those "ship kits" don't leak into the real actual airplane configuration. This is . . ok, this is really manufacturing 101 stuff, but well, things happen.

I'm in the industry, but haven't touched the MAX, so take this with a grain of salt.

Thanks for your DPI work. I tested the gemini plugin and works very well.

My only complain is that it keeps asking to confirm new keys every time a new server is visited which causes a lot of friction to explore several gemini servers. I understand that is a tradeoff between usability and security, but I wish there was a better solution than that.

> Instead of coding in an expressive language

You call a statically typed scala language an expressive one? Lol :)

I agree with other points though.

But it only proves my original thesis that the world is ugly and there is no one solution that beautifully or magically solves it.

To be fair in comparison to java scala is not more shitty or more over engineered language.

The thing is that despite its “expressiveness” and mathematical beauty - it is still complex and ugly as shit when you use it in real world projects. Even if there are few exceptions like spark.
That is the worst possible way to implement a liberalization of drug laws. I'm in favor of decriminalizing practically all drugs but this is just insane. They need to be treated like the currently legal drugs in some cases and more tightly regulated in others where the substance is more dangerous to the user. There needs to be a spectrum from dispensaries where the cashier is some college kid and pharmacies where your access and education is handled by a pharmacist or doctor. Physical addiction, while complicated by several factors, is still a real phenomenon that must be identified and treated in order to avoid ruining lives.
