While I do think there are a lot of reasons to why one should not write in assembly, time-critical base routines can often benefit a lot from being written in assembly (take GMP's mpn-module for instance). However, this puts some constraint on how the code should be formatted (in GMP's case, this means that everything the mpz-module does is derived from the mpn-module), which cannot be said for all applications.

Typescript is pretty much the gold standard, it’s amazing how much JavaScript madness you can work around just on the typechecking level.

IMHO Python should shamelessly steal as much typescript’s typing as possible. It’s tough since the Microsoft typescript team is apparently amazing at what they do so for now it’s a very fast moving target but some day…
Most companies now include clauses that force arbitration and prevent you from using a class action lawsuit. This type of sidestepping of the public justice system should be outlawed, retroactively, with retroactive lawsuits (by extending the statute of limitations), retroactive fines, and retroactive jail time.

No...the REAL wildest part of this is that I am old enough to have sat in a Radio Shack window display and using a TRS-80 and TANDY-BASIC I believe it was (?), and actually saved and loaded my attempts at writing games using a off-the-shelf Radio Shack cassette drive and a funky interface cord

OMG the crazy headaches that setup gave me...of course if you didn't actually press PLAY on the unit at the right moment after you typed LOAD in BASIC, the thing would hang...and to be honest...it loaded so slow that it often seemed like it hung when it didnt, thereby AT LEAST quadrupling the fun (not).

One thing good did come of it...I never once cursed at 5 1/4 floppies as they were a godsend compared to the cassette drive days

Companies could also stop storing customer information for purposes unrelated to the core product that you are using..... But that's not going to happen because it's still far more profitable to mine customers data even with the risk of theft or breach.

I don't understand why you're trying to push me to visit a country I have no interest in visiting. (There's plenty of places I'd rather visit before South Korea.)

In the case of North Korea: It's difficult to explain unless you're in a listening mode, but I'll try:

First: I would never go under the current government. Full stop. I won't go somewhere where I don't feel safe.

Second: I don't endorse their government in any way.

For me, the best analogy would be traveling to East Germany in the early 1990s after the fall of communism. IE, visit the Berlin Wall, and maybe listen to some locals tell their story.

So, assuming North Korea's government changes in my lifetime, I'd love to visit and "see it" before it gets torn down.

One of the things I like hearing is how people work around constraints and obstacles. These are the kinds of stories I'm interested in.
Thanks, yeah describing Mesop API as essentially a UI over RPC is a good analogy and is basically what's happening under the hood [1].

I guess one funny thing is that I actually identify as a FE developer more than a Python developer :) I've been doing FE for much longer than Python and agree that there's warts on both sides (and no language/ecosystem is perfect). For me, a lot of the FE fatigue comes from all the inherent challenges with developing client-side applications (e.g. the necessity of bundling/minifying for optimizing performance, transpiling for legacy browsers) so I don't say this to throw stones at the other side but simply to point out my own fatigue having dealt with this complexity for years.

Right now Mesop is definitely more focused on the demo use cases, but we're also trying to push the limits of the kinds of apps you can build in Python so it doesn't have to be something you throwaway when you want to deploy a scalable app.

Cloaking should be opt out, not opt in. Because even if you go through the process of begging for a hostname cloak, there are many scenarios where the cloak is temporarily not applied (netsplits, or if NS lags and your identify happens after joining your channels) and oops the IP leaks. This is unacceptable. It should default to privacy.

The fact that server operators of many (all?) networks refuse to enable cloaking by default just shows that IRC has a very different culture than what modern users have come to expect.

In my mind there is no reason for cloaking to not be enabled other than "it's always been that way and I like seeing ISP hostnames when people join!".

Is that really valuable? Stuff like clz implemented as slow emulation is arguably worse than useless because the application specific fallback can easily be faster than the emulation of the generic opcode.

If the operation is slow you still have to have detection and fallback. Unless you don't care about the performance, in which case you could just never use the fancy instruction at all.

> Why is "women enjoy things other than technology" not a plausible theory?

Because it doesn’t explain anything, stopping at that conclusion. It’s just “it is the way it is” sort of argument.

When you quote the statistics you are simply looking in the wrong direction. Thanks to anti-discrimination laws and affirmative action problem in recruiting isn’t that big as before. It was the most obvious and the easiest to fix.

Imagine a thought experiment: a group of people since childhood is taught that cats are better for them than dogs. They learn to love cats and stay away from dogs which are “for others”. In adulthood they are presented the opportunity to own a dog. There exist dog lover meetups and you can even get a puppy for free. How many people from that group will try to have a dog? Not many probably, because they just enjoy cats more.

This is what happens with gender inequality. Girls get dolls and join cheerleading teams. Social pressure requires them to learn about makeup and fashion, to socialize and to participate in housekeeping. Popular culture maintains stereotypes, social media define the acceptable behavior and punish those who don’t fit.
Same happens to boys, of course. Not everyone who is subject to such pressure can grow as a person able to make a free choice. If we deprive children of the free choice, what is it if not gender discrimination?

And then there exists also drop-off possibility. Just today I learned about yet another case of harassment on the workplace in some big company. The victim complained to her manager about the behavior of their D-level superior but nothing happened, despite all the laws etc. Many women are subject to this regularly. How many of them will remain in the workforce for long despite such experience? How many will get promoted if they complain about such things? #metoo was a good start, but we are far from workplace being fixed. This naturally reduces the share of women on senior and management positions.

(Edit) necessary note: please do not expect me to explain it in full detail and with references. It is a huge topic, there exist books and numerous resources about it. I won’t be able to cover everything I know from learning or personal experience in a comment. Do your own research and try to dig deeper.

What are the common use cases for threading in Python? I feel like that's a lower level tool than most Python projects would want, compared to asyncio or multiprocessing.Pool. JS is the most comparable thing to Python, and it got pretty darn far without threads.
The way you would use a protein language model is different from how you would use a regular LLM like chatgpt. Normally, you aren't looking for one correct answer to your query but rather you would like thousands of ideas to try out in the lab. Biologists have techniques for trying out thousands or tens of thousands of proteins in a lab and filtering it down to a single candidate thats the best solution to whatever they are trying to achieve.

I think the implicit assumption is that the vast majority of these breaches are obviously preventable (basic incompetence like leaving a non-password-protected database connected to the public internet is common).

A better analogy is not a bank defending against an army, but a bank forgetting to install doors, locks, cameras, or guards. _Yes_, the criminals are the root cause, but human nature being what it is it's negligent to leave a giant pile of money and data completely unprotected.

The article does discuss this, and the main point to understand is that his mother was a slave and was then emancipated, meaning any children she had prior to emancipation were born into slavery. The article says that his father emancipated both his mother and him. It does not state that there is 100% definitive evidence of his status at birth but given his mother's status and the lack of baptismal records for his birth, it is very likely he was born a slave.

It's all contracts. My father is named because the effects company he worked for had a contract for credit, the guilds similarly enforce their contracts on producers.

Exactly. In the same way that 12 year old girls shouldn't be getting breast implants because they want to fit some toxic stereotypes associated with being female, they also shouldn't be getting breast removal because they think this somehow transforms them towards being male. It's all harmful nonsense.

All of these damaging stereotypes and unhealthy body ideals should be challenged. Instead, the trans activist movement has taken this set of regressive ideals and asserted that this is what women and men actually are. But instead of stating this directly, they obfuscate it behind "gender identity". It's ludicrous.
The parent comment was referring to programs running inside the UXN virtual machine, which explicitly supports and endorses self-modifying code. Many of the creators' own programs take advantage of this capability, so any conforming implementation has to find a way to make it work.
There are lots of companies that take security seriously and don’t lose their customers data. Which is good, because there are companies that need to hold customer data.

Companies that don’t take security seriously and lose peoples data should be punished accordingly.

Companies that sell customers data should be identified.

But if we treat them all the same, then we let the bad companies off the hook, and punish the responsible companies unfairly.
Most protein language models are not able to understand human-language descriptions of proteins. Mostly they just predict the next amino acid in a sequence and sometimes they can understand certain structured metadata tags.

I don't think anyone is telling consumers that they need to use AI now, either, unless it actually benefits them (and judging by the usage of ChatGPT, apparently many users do find it useful).

The people promising the future of AI are usually startups pitching to investors, or companies putting resources into AI, etc.
If a breach is so inevitable like you say, then it's negligent to store the information in the first place. They're accumulating and organizing data with the inescapable conclusion of handing it out to criminal organizations.

Working with asyncio sucks when all you want is to be able to do some things in the background, possibly concurrently. You have to rewrite the worker code using those stupid async await keywords. It's an obnoxious constraint that completely breaks down when you want to use unaware libraries. The thread model is just a million times easier to use because you don't have to change the code.

Look at this function, can you tell me what it does?

def plus(x, y):
return x+y

If your answer is among the lines of "It returns the sum x and y" then I would ask you who said that x and y are numbers. If these are strings, it concatenates them. If instead you pass a string and a number, you will get a runtime exception. So not only you can't tell what a function does just by looking at it, you can't even know if the function is correct (in the sense that will not raise an exception).
I call BS. I've never heard of anybody in government "going to jail" for some sort of mistake. Sure, there's all kinds of threats and regulatory control but when it comes down to it barely anybody is held to any kind of responsibility. It's practically impossible to fire someone in the government for incompetence and that's coming from engineers I know in government who work with essentially weaponized incompetence.
Disclaimer: I haven't read the article.

I'm just responding to the end of your comment.

As someone who has spent years doing unimportant work that I was able to find some meaning in, and who has made sacrifices in order to expand my opportunities and eventually consistently find work that is important and meaningful, I totally disagree with your message.

I understand there are a lot of pitfalls people can get stuck in and most things aren't as good as they could be... But that doesn't mean everything is awful or that everything is getting worse overall on average.

I mean this in the most constructive way possible: I think you could benefit a lot from cognitive behavioral therapy.

Few things that helped me tremendously...

Victor Frankel - Man's Search for Meaning
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations (or Ryan Holiday if you don't have the patience)

I am not religious but this prayer helped me a lot:

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

You aren't asking for help, and I understand that these suggestions may just piss you off... But if there is a small chance they help you or anyone else who sees them that feels similar to you, then they are worth sharing.

The world doesn't get better with apathy or victimhood or defeatism, it gets better by accepting reality as it really is and then getting to work on it. You are surrounded by meaningful work, it just seems like you have been tricked into not seeing it.

I would throw in Avantis Small Cap Value (AVUV) as a contender.

Avantis' funds are index-like in that they pick stocks by screening the universe of market-cap-weighted stocks using factor-based screens, rather than active management. Their algorithms use profitability, volatility, size, and value as factors, and mix in the momentum factor (basically, stocks that go in one direction tend to move that way for a bit) to time trades.

The international counterpart is AVDV, and they have a whole range of funds for emerging markets and so on.

Avantis was founded by ex-Dimensional (DFA) people and their methodology is similar to that of the famous high-end mutual funds run by DFA. (Of course, DFA also has ETFs now.)

Management went over to hire that guy because we needed a developer and he was living close to the office… Worst hire ever - even a guy who we hired remotely that seemed to cheat because he did nothing or not much was waaay better because after 2 months we fired him and he did not break anything and did not make other team mates angry besides management.
> The vulnerability was patched and the red team's initial compromise was contained, so they targeted them with phishing, owned their domain controllers, then maintained access for months while pivoting to partner organizations, then published a public report.

You're missing a few steps between the pivot to partner organizations and the report. The public report was made on 11 July 2024. They revealed the breach to the target last year, June 2023, and then began a collaboration effort at that point, running through September 2023. They also don't name and shame in this public report, we don't know what the target organization was.
