You fix this by for once focusing on local wealth creation not wealth extraction or abstract "growth".
I assumed it was because they explicitly did not have performance as a goal, probably because performance is so bad they wanted to have a good answer and "performance is a non-goal" is the best they could do. Psychologically that is much easier to digest than "yes it's awful, sorry".

I don't think backwards compatibility can really be the reason. Python does not care that much about backwards compatibility, as seen from the extensive list of features they remove in every release:

Yes...though my impression is that the top Nazis themselves tended to rather less educated. They clearly understood how to produce guns, bombs, ammunition, land mines, poison gas, etc. at scale.

(It's also my impression that the Nazis mostly treated the highly-educated and cultured as trophies and status symbols - often good for bragging about or being seen around...but not fit to make important decisions, nor to be appointed to high office.)
People also don't notice all the single-occupant cars that make up the bulk of road congestion. Drivers should want more people to ride bikes, because each represents approximately one single-occupant car removed from the road.

This is going take me a while to read and understand, but the concept is insane
Tourists treating locals like a paid experience, is more to do with a lack of empathy and education from their families, plus a huge entitlement since they tell themselves that if they spend money somewhere they're the customers and they've been taught by the capitalist system that made their fortunes that "the customer is always right". They probably treat service workers in their home countries just the same.
It wasn't real socialism last time.
It is unfortunate that this is not a core principle of education.

The best school system I ever attended rigorously divided classes between social and academic --- for social classes (gym, health, social studies, homeroom) one attended at one's grade level, while for academic classes, (English, other languages, science, math) one worked at one's grade level (but with a cap of 4 grade levels through 8th grade, so a 4th grader couldn't take high school classes) --- after 8th grade this cap was removed, and students could take any classes which they could qualify for academically. To facilitate this, some teachers were also accredited as faculty at a nearby college, and if necessary arrangements were made either for college professors to come to the school and teach, or students travelled to the college.

Most students graduated with at least a little college credit, and many received a college degree along with their high school diploma --- until the Mississippi State Supreme Court decided that it was illegal because it conferred an unseemly advantage on some students with no corresponding compensation for students who were unable to avail themselves of it academically.

The why he left YC is the same but the how is in question.

>You're fired.

>No, I quit.
I'm not that much into GraphQL but I vaguely remember libraries that provide some kind of atteibutes you apply to entities/loaders and then pre-execution an estimated cost is calculated (and aborted if over a specified threshold).
You also sacrifice unemployment benefits in many cases, which costs businesses time to administer and risks fines and higher insurance rates. So, a lot of businesses will pressure you to quit instead of being fired, since it's easier for them.
I inspected the element to check if it had any alt text[1] and it just says “Image”. Why bother[2] adding `alt="Image"` to an `<img>` tag?

[1]: Adding it is popular on Mastodon but I’m unsure if Twitter allows it.

[2]: I’m guessing this is Twitter and not Paul.
If they sell a reasonably priced machine (say, under US$400) which is easy to clean, doesn't use any sort of pod/cup, doesn't have any subscription malarkey, and is reasonably sized, I'll give it a very serious look.

The whole idea sounds like it could be really simple once implemented, and in a world of super complicated coffee brewers with small little crevices that are hard to clean, it'd be very welcome.

What do you dislike about React?
True, it is pretty terrible. Like everything Microsoft. It seems like that they always aim for "just not bad enough to make you invest in something third party". Because their stuff all comes as one package that's a very low bar. It's very hard to justify paying for something you're already paying for.

And they don't seem to be interested in building real top quality UX or performance. Why would they, we buy it anyway. Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft.

> It is far better for the Backend to provide Frontend a contract

It sure is better for the backend team, but the client teams will need to have countless meetings begging to establish/change a contract and always being told it will come in the next sprint (or the one after, or in Q3).

> This leads to far more fingerpointing/inefficiency in the log run, despite whatever illusion of short-term expediency it creates.

It is true it can cause these kind of problems, but they take far, far, far less time than mundane contract agreement conversations. Although having catastrophic failures is usually pretty dire when they do happen, but there are a lot of ways of mitigating as well like good monitoring and staggered deployments.

It is a tradeoff to be sure, there is no silver bullet.
You‘re right.

My point still stands.

I'll take this opportunity to plug a similar doodad I made that generates english-ish words: https://bertolaccini.dev/cromulent.html

It's just a Markov chain built by tokenizing a corpus of English words into syllables and analyzing the probability of transitioning from one syllable to another.

I think the library I used to tokenize the words did not do a perfect job and the corpus was suboptimal too, but it works well enough for a bit of nonsense :)

"Certainly"? Not really. Depends entirely on your habits. If you get to work after your bike ride and eat a Snickers because it made you peckish, and you didn't do that when going by car, you've effectively done nothing for your weight.

It's true that exercise is good for you regardless. But it is orders of magnitude easier to ingest calories through food than it is to burn them through exercises.
No.

If I ran a car wash and had some signs on the road stating the name of my business and accurate prices, I don't think that is deceptive.

I'm more inclined to agree that all advertising might be unethical or immoral, though.
Meh "networking".

I had this conversation with a newly made friend of mine who has a lot more knowledge, connections and experience. The convo was headed to networking and I asked him what's the point in networking if the other person is not willing to share their experience or connections - like the vast mojority of them aren't. (including even family members due to envy)

At the end of the day it's always best to connect with people from your own culture because they are more likely to honestly share tips as opposed to random jimmies.

Or require that the owner lives in their apartment/house (and be taxliable in the place where they live).

For comercial rentals, require that they are registred as businesses and taxed as such.
I would summarize it as: you realize you can actually do whatever you want, live where you want, and construct your life however you want as long as you make something other people want.

Another way running a business changes the way I think is the value of time and the ROI on temporary things. Most non-business people would hesitate, for example, to buy proper furnishings for their house or upgrade their tools/workspace if they only plan to stay somewhere temporarily for a few months, but I would do it because of how much more enjoyable and productive those few months will be if I had proper facilities, which may have a far greater ROI than simply saving money for a few months.

You are moving the goalposts here. However if you want to compare mixed freight and passenger lines then rail equals many, many lanes.

Plenty of rail cars have room for luggage too or even baggage cars. Usually we are talking about people going to/from work however hence most people are not carrying lots.

Are you really saying your roads don't have shutdowns for maintenance? Or other problems? Also it is pretty rare for either roads nor railways to be fully utilised overnight. Also note that plenty of rail systems do run overnight.

No, he said they would have been fine with it. That has a different quality and honestly, I am quite sure they knew sama was so invested in OpenAI that he would not have choosen to step away from it.

So everybody could save face and no one was "fired".
That may work if you’re coding in you’re spare time on a side project that may turn into a business at some point. But even then, you’re going to be more tired and drained at your main job—humans just aren’t capable of working two jobs for a prolonged amount of time without one of them being negatively affected. Sure, you might be the one out of thousands that manages. But most are not.

And we’re not talking about creating a small online T-shirt store, but being CEO of a venture backed organisation to evolve the state of AI. There’s just no way to pull that off.

It has always been possible to do custom transformations via Series.transform. And here is a PR adding it to dataframes: https://github.com/elixir-explorer/explorer/pull/912 - the PR uses existing APIs, it was possible before, it just makes it more convenient. I am sure more will be added later

I'm not saying you're wrong, far from it, but I've noticed that in Spain a lot of locals go to these language exchange events, where in other countries it's not the case. And I agree with your expectation to not need to 'pamper' the visitors.

(of course they're welcome and I've talked to some of them - though it is my impression they kept a bit distant).

Cultural clashes are hard.
Having worked extensively with OpenAPI, GraphQL, plain JSON/HTTP, and gRPC/Buf Connect services, most of this rings true for me.

One thing the author doesn't mention is that you can limit the set of queries clients can call in a GraphQL service, by hash or signature. This mitigates a lot of the gnarly performance and security issues because the attack surface goes from "arbitrary queries" to "queries you've already 'vetted'", where you can look at things like complexity, ACL behavior, etc ahead of time. Since clients (in my experience) aren't usually modifying GQL queries at runtime, this is a pretty good tradeoff.

All that said, I find Buf Connect to be the best set of tradeoffs for most projects: strongly typed servers and clients, strong ecosystem support around protobuf (e.g. to generate an OpenAPI spec), a standard HTTP/JSON interface for easy curl et al compatibility, etc.

OpenAPI as the source of truth is annoying because it's too flexible, and it's rarely possible to generate type-safe servers + clients from an OpenAPI spec without running into one edge case or another.
Having gone through 5 different fitbit watches and them all breaking within a year or two, as well as two different fitbit scales and them breaking too, i have moved on and will NEVER look back.

Does it support HDR/Dolby Vision?

Yes, I'm absolutely against tracking for teenagers or adults but I could see it when my son is around 8 years old and I let him walk to a friend's house or go to a nearby playground. We live in Hong Kong, and it's very safe here once he's old enough to understand the rules of the road and be careful when crossing.

Having something to track them between 8 and 12 years old I think is useful. I remember when I lived in Japan (where children start walking to places as early as 5 years old) before the iphone came out, there were plenty of children phone that sent gps to the parents and only allowed calling to a select set of numbers.
PyPy is also (as far as I know) the only Python 2 implementation still actively supported, not including OS-specific packages.

That's sort of my expectation too -- it would be nuts to provide a user facing system without bounds of some sort.
I'm not sure this is any more or less of a problem for REST APIs. What if your engineers change $client/$server and the new version makes really expensive queries? Well, ask them not to do that, then when some of them inevitably ignore you, start to review their code, terminate long-running queries, batch or pool fanouts so they don't take anything down, monitor new releases and roll back if anything breaks, etc.

If you're providing an external API like GitHub does, then that's a different story and I agree.
> PG is not universally opposed to people running multiple organizations

I don't see why that matters, YC is "his" organization, other organizations can do what they want

I do not know the ages of your children but i fear for them if/when they're teenagers. A small child does not care, a teenager _very much does and should_. Will you still track them when they're 25? Or 30? What if they ask you to stop, what will you do?

I gained very very significant experiences by lying to my parents about where i was. I never got hurt, not once, we were never running from the cops or anything and i solved every problem on my own. Those are invaluable experiences! A 6 year old simply cannot, but a teenager must.

What is your true motivation in tracking them? Is it based in fear? And I'm sure you're aware that any apps they have installed on their phone can also be capable of storing and selling this location data you'd like them to provide. Are you comfortable with Google storing a record of every movement your child makes?
Slightly unrelated…

This reads like yet another major attack vector through LLMs. A threat actor only needs to provide a few mentions of the package on reputable sites and it is almost guaranteed that your backdoored package will be mentioned by the LLM once it is retrained with new data, or even in cases like RAG.

I am guessing I am not the first to think of this though. Wouldn’t be surprised if this kind of attack vector is already being set in motion for all kinds of other purposes; product reviews, etc.
The same thing happens, and on a worse scale, in Barcelona: extremely expensive rents, leisure, restaurants, etc. are very expensive, unbearable traffic, public transport is overwhelmed, and on top of that, there's a drought. The problem is always the same, who the citizens choose: first Colau, a former "squatter" who ruined the city with her socialist policies and zero urban planning, then Collboni, another useless person who in his first year of government did not change any of Colau's urban policies for fear of breaking something.

The majority of Canadian history? The Liberals have ruled for 70 years in the 20th century, and 15 of the last 24 of the 21st.

Also the beloved and so mourned recently deceased Brian Mulroney, a Conservative, came from.... the same incestuous Laurentian Elite from the YYZ-MTL corridor that all of the PMs except Harper (whom I dislike, but I digress) have hailed from.

In fact, Im old enough to remember Mulroney's government collapsing because of corruption surrounding the same companies, the same industrialists, that discredited Chretien's (whom I liked, for what it's worth), and would have take down Jr's were it not for him firing the justice minister.

As to the not withstanding clause, you're really clinging on to "only separatists and conservatives have used it" without addressing all the reasons the Federal government doesn't need to ever invoke it (power is concentrated in the PM hands in a way unparalleled in the West)?

Look, I've read Trudeau's autobiography. His "memoirs" as he called it. I recall vividly his lament that a flawed constitution is better than none. Flawed? It fails at its most basic task - limiting government power.
> I'm fine with it if includes some monthly re-occurring service, like cloud storage/sync.

What sucks is when the developer adds some recurring service to their software that I don't want, purely as an excuse to justify moving to subscription, and then no longer offers the software without the "service" for a one-time price.

For most of the software I use, I specifically don't want to be tethered to some kind of online service, have to have a network connection to run it, and so on. And I'll actively look for the competing software that's a one-time cost and isn't Cloud-ified.

4-10 hours of exercise a week, for starters, is a lot more than what most people achieve. And it burns a ridiculously low amount of calories. Maybe ~300kcal/hour of excess calories burnt. That's ~3000kcal/week. You can ruin that in one sitting at Pizza Hut in under an hour.

If your goal is weight loss, and you have a choice between an extra hour of exercise, or eating one less Mars bar a week, skipping the Mars bar will be better for your weight loss.
