but that is not what PyPy does

> So, how did that tracing JIT generator work? A tracing JIT generates code by observing and logging the execution of the running program. This yields a straight-line trace of operations, which are then optimized and compiled into machine code. Of course most tracing systems mostly focus on tracing loops.

> As we discovered, it's actually quite simple to apply a tracing JIT to a generic interpreter, by not tracing the execution of the user program directly, but by instead tracing the execution of the interpreter while it is running the user program (here's the paper we wrote about this approach).

So it's just a tracing JIT but applied to the interpreter. One way to put it - it's effectively the same benefit as just running jython to begin with.

Show HN: Air Orbe: Exploring the Future of Smart Device Control [video]
When it comes to smart devices, one of the most challenging tasks I faced was labeling the lighting zones in my home. No matter how hard I tried to make sense of it, the process was always cumbersome and didn't seem intuitive to everyone. I often thought about a future where controlling the lights could be as simple as looking at them. This vision fueled my desire to create a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.

The breakthrough came when Apple launched the Vision Pro. I knew immediately that this technology could finally enable the solution I had been dreaming of. By leveraging the capabilities of Vision Pro, especially PERSISTENT WORLD ANCHORING, we could build a system where users control their lights and other smart devices simply by looking at them. This innovation would make smart device control more intuitive than ever.

Unfortunately the only answer is "pay to play." If you're a server admin needing emergency access, you or your employer should pay for an ISP that isn't using cgnat (and has reliable connectivity). Same as how you probably have a real phone sim instead of a cheap voip number that's banned in tons of places.

Or better yet, a corp VPN with good security practices so you don't need this fail2ban-type setup. It's also weird to connect from home using password-based SSH in the first place.

As it happens I am also French and living in the UK.

The ban on ethnic/racial data in France is a byproduct of the idealistic French republican view that the only thing that matters is whether people are citizens or foreigners and that citizens are all identical. This is not about "privacy".

But, pragmatically for a census, the British questions make much more sense and give a better snapshot of the country. In fact, in general the UK is more pragmatic than France and that has worked for the better historically.

In the UK the electoral register is a public record for good reasons (who can vote should be transparent), and as such it is available to anyone.

Credit agencies are a pragmatic (again) and private (emphasised) tool to protect against credit risk (I believe the GDPR express this as "legitimate interest"). The UK is much more trade and business oriented than France. Again that has worked rather well for them historically.

None of that counters my point about protection from the state.

In fact this is historically a very key difference between the UK and France: the power of the state/king was limited early in England (Magna Carta and all that) while France has had an absolutist streak (Louis XIV, French Revolution, Voltaire in exile in England, even Napoleon). To this day the role and power of the state is much stronger in France than in the UK.

I find this is a contradiction of French culture: on the one hand this disobedient and 'revolutionary' streak but, on the other hand a very strong state with people tending to call on the state for help about everything and anything. Or maybe these are the two sides of the same coin.
My ~150k is for a starter home. That is what a ranch 3 bedroom, 2 bath with kitchen/dining and living room, no basement goes for in my area, based on 1990's code.

Current code is more stringent.

I know that people used to add on, that is however going to be more costly in the long term. Think about heating and A/C system, rather than buy the system once and keep it for 15 years as you expand you need to keep redoing duct work and adding capacity.

You will end up with insulation and vapor barriers between two interior walls.

Plumbing and electrical will become interesting as well.

I grew up in the kinds of homes you are describing, I like them but the building style does have challenges.

I also like the idea of people putting down roots, however this in turn limits people's opportunities.

This also limits the type of housing, what would be required in order to build a duplex or townhouse? A condo/apartment building?

Part of the current green movement talks about getting rid of suburbia and condensing into more urban areas. This would be a direct opposition to that as you would need to buy a lot size that guarantees that you can grow.

> True, but the only solution to this is "get good". Because using vanilla JS isn't going to make them any less likely to make a foot gun.

That is a common misconception that only occurs in software and is exceptionally common to JS. If you want to avoid foot guns set validation criteria: lint, test automation, strong types, and so forth. Contrary to what many JS developers suggest vanity is not a solution here and even that can be automated.

I had a personal project that was this peer-to-peer file sharing utility. I wanted test automation but was not aware of a test-automation utility for the browser in a peer-to-peer environment. So, I wrote one. When I changed the project from HTTP to WS I was about to execute up to 300 tests in about 8 seconds. That was very helpful. I found that since it was fast enough I could run this test automation all the time even before manually testing in the browser.

When I was at this consultancy last year that used Vue 2.0 tiny refactors were full of risks and could take up to 2 weeks. They had no automation of any kind and it scared the shit out of me. Making heavy use of strong types due to TypeScript I was able to execute refactors several dozen times larger in about 2 hours at almost no risk in a much larger personal project.

None of that means I am awesome. It just means that by putting the proper processes in place I was allowed to be really bad and could still release hundreds of times faster at low risk. At work I had to be astonishingly stellar when tip toeing around eggshells very slowly to release anything at all. I have been doing this long enough to see the same faulty patterns repeated.

The ideal path forward has to come from somebody that understands risk analysis, can measure things, and understands compound interest. That person could be an MBA who has never programmed before. Software almost always gets this wrong and does the opposite because it likes to repeat its failures. My repeated failure is not getting out of JS sooner.

> a motivated belief among consumers that automakers’ latest and greatest offerings—whether powered by gasoline, batteries or a hybrid system—are inferior to the products they are replacing.

I share this belief. I think that it's clear that new cars are inferior to the older ones and have been for at least a few years now. Whether or not they're electric doesn't enter into it.

But, to be fair, it depends on what you value in a car. New cars are better in several ways, but they're worse in other ways. So the fairest way to look at this is that automakers have chosen a good/bad tradeoff that is not appealing to a lot of people.

For me, that tradeoff is very solidly on the "unacceptable" side.
I think that's Baidu. I remember https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/ from when Ernie 3.0 was released back when text encoder models weren't forgotten with the progress of decoder-only ones.
Of course, this just moves the safety question from a javascript-specific JIT to the Truffle JIT compiler and the partial evaluator. This can have some benefits (only one JIT to improve/fix across many languages), but can still have safety bugs.

And the big tradeoff is that the general JIT may be less capable of doing language-specific optimizations (indeed such optimizations have a chance to introduce bugs as the linked V8 blog shows, but they also can be correct and significantly improve perf in cases where the general JIT doesn't have the necessary info to do it itself).
It was just to show that you can run it locally, in opposition to "cloud APIs" referred in the thread, but you are right, the more correct term is local

I don't think this was super important given the core goals of the project. I agree that effortless tagged unions are a very valuable feature in a language, but it's also one that is paradigm shifting and requires a different set of goals.

Without naming names, there is a language out there with some overlap with Zig's domain that does have really good tagged unions. But that project has a different set of goal than Zig's and that's okay. They're both good projects.
> I've seen what it looks like when a company hires mostly researchers and ignores other expertise, versus what happens when a company hires diverse talent sets to build a cross domain team. The second option works way better.

I've seen these too, and you aren't wrong. Division into specializations can work "way better" (i.e. the overall potential is higher), but in practice the differentiating factors that matter will come down to organizational and ultimately human-factors. The anecdotal cases I draw my observations from organizations operating at the scale of 1-10 people, as well as 1,000s working in this field.

> Should your reseacher have to manage nvidia drivers and infiniband networking? Should your operations engineer need to understand the math behind transformers? Does your researcher really gain any value from understanding the intricacies of docker layer caching?

To realize the higher potential mentioned above, what they need to be doing is appreciating the value of what those things are and those who do those things beyond: these are the people that do the things I don't want to do or don't want to understand. That appreciation usually comes from having done and understanding that work.

When specializations are used, they tend to also manifest into organizational structures and dynamics which are ultimately comprised of humans. Conway's Law is worth mentioning here because the interfaces between these specializations become the bottleneck of your system in realizing that "higher potential."

As another commenter mentions, the effectiveness of these interfaces, corresponding bottlenecking effects, and ultimately the entire people-driven system is very much driven by how the parties on each side understand each other's work/methods/priorities/needs/constraints/etc, and having an appreciation for how they affect (i.e. complement) each other and the larger system.

I was specifically talking about python packages using C. You type "pip install" and god knows what's going to happen. It might pull a precompiled wheel, it might just compile and link some C or Fortran code, it might need external dependecies. It might install flawlessly and crash as soon as you try to run it. All bets are off.

I never experienced CPython itself segfault, it's always due to some package.

> The proper way of doing it is to use the API calls that have existed for decades

A user doesn't want to do this though.

I tried casually using a windows 11 machine for something the other day (I think I was fixing game folders for my girlfriend), using just explorer, and it was pretty obscenely bad how overly confusing it had gotten. I say this, and I fairly routinely debug old build systems with complex nesting file structures, I know my way around a file system.

This wasn't a case of "oh you're just a power user", this was a case of the system had broken, and the simple advice of "backing up your files" and "copy your files over here" wasn't working.

Telling everyone they need to use API calls is just ridiculous, the filesystem is just broken for the average user.

Leary explained it directly:
> "Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers engaging them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily, my explanations of this sequence of personal development are often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity".[4]

I know Dave Ramsey gets a lot of flack on certain parts of the internet, and while I don't agree with everything he says, giving people a plan to get rid of their debt would likely give a lot of families the breathing room they need. It will undoubtedly be hard for them in the short term, but once it's done, it would make their life much easier. Keeping fixed expenses low makes absorbing bumps in the road easier.

If 33% have no debt, and they say 60% are struggling, does that mean at a high level, only 7% of the country is able to effectively manage debt and don't feel like they're gasping for air? I'm sure no one in power wants to push the issue, as it would likely hurt the economy for people to live below their means, but it seems like the antidote to a lot of this. I'd assume prices would eventually adjust, and we'd be on more stable footing.
