It is a sad day. It hurts to see these magnificent creatures suffer.
I've generally been able to deal with embarassing parallelism by just chopping up the input and running multiple processes with GNU Parallel. I haven't needed the multiprocessing module or free threading so far. I believe CPython still relies on various bytecodes to run atomically, which you get automatically with the GIL present. So I wonder if hard-to-reproduce concurrency bugs will keep surfacing in the free-threaded CPython for quite some time.

I feel like all of this is tragic and Python should have gone to a BEAM-like model some years ago, like as part of the 2 to 3 transition. Instead we get async wreckage and now free threading with its attendant hazards. Plus who knows how many C modules won't be expecting this.
Enhancements are fine, but if one is so sophisticated that the basics are forgotten, then what good are the enhancements?

It's not always the most scalable approach, but I like the DTTCPW "dit-ka-pow": the Dumbest Thing That Could Possibly Work.
Have you done any multi-gpu training? Generally every GPU gets a process. Coordinating between them and passing around data between them is complex and can easily have performance issues since normal communication between python processes requires some sort of serialization/de-serialization of objects (there are many * here when it comes to GPU training). This has the potential to simplify all of that and remove a lot of inter-process communication which is just pure overhead.

Why would the removed timestamps make the data have no value for internal analytics?

It's possible they were operating from a privacy first principle and storing only the exact data they needed for a specific internal objective.
Did you ever get rid of the Edge Browser or does it still seemingly randomly open links for you?
I absolutely love that testing suggestion - I'd never considered shipping a whole separate commit adding the OLD test first, but having a second commit that then updates that test to illustrate the change in behavior is such an obviously good idea.
I like the idea of analog, there's something about writing on paper.

Practically, digital is much better. Everytime I see something that might be useful I past a link. I paste links to discussions I need to follow up on. And then I also use a homemade plugin for Obsidian that lists my to-dos across all notes(1), so whenever I think about something I need to do I just include it directly into the text and it's listed there.

I think you could do something somewhat similar on paper (I tried a while back), but the overhead is simply too much for me.

By your shill logic, AI will become good when the crypto scammers move on to something else. Are you hoping they'll move back to crypto, so all the money you invested in crypto won't go down the drain?

It's laughable how you think shills have so much more power to make or break a technology and give it practical real world applications, merely by hyping up a technology, even more than the actual scientists who have dedicated their lives to it, and the companies like NVidia who produce hardware for it, and the companies like OpenAI who produce software for it. You really have a lot of faith in shills.

By your logic, were shills responsible for the success of the Internet too, and not the people and companies who designed TCP/IP, web browsers, ssh, ajax, network routers, wifi, cellular, mobile phones, smartphones, etc?

Yeah I've never liked the async stuff. I've used the existing theading library and it's been fine, for those programs that are blocked on i/o most of the time. The GIL hasn't been a problem. Those programs often ran on single core machines anyway. We would have been better off without the GIL in the first place, but we may be in for headaches by removing it now.
My wife has a negotiation technique that has worked well for her:

And that worked! We were in and done in less than five minutes.

Sadly, not everyone can use that technique.
Devcontainers are great! They allow windows users to develop on Linux and they allow Linux users to develop in an sandbox environment seamlessly.

I write but never reread. The act of writing helps me organize my thoughts. Maybe I'll reread the last page when coming back to something but that's it.

So my advice is to write when you have a lot on your mind so that you can get it out of your mind. That's it.

Don't mess around with forums. That's for a different problem.

Keep a pen and paper handy always. There can be no barrier to entry or it breaks the flow.
its expected forsure. happens every time but i think the outrage and noise is because a few reason. Houstonians have had many natural disasters in a row now people are just tired and frustrated first and foremost and have been bottling that up.

they want to outrage and have someone take responsibility. the city is blue but texas is red. many democrats have been upset at leadership and sees this as another failure. whether theres truth to it im not sure im not too knowledgeable in politics but to me it seems a lot of people outside the state has been calling out texas as well. i can see that influence with local democrats here.

also the rain was very weak, usually power wont go out for this long. but it kind of felt more like a strong tornado that ran through the city.

it kind of makes me sad to see people using this for politics, and outraging and what not. i mean i dont think we really know if centerpoint was negligent and at fault yet. but again im not too knowledgeable about the company i just pay them monthly. compare this to harvey where everyone was so eager to help someone. but i understand im so tired too. really am
I think the comment from cosmicradiance is more in the spirit of HN. I’m guessing I’m 10 years older than OP, and started devops when LAMP was king. It’s a lot less abstract when you actual install, configure and start the service, as opposed to occasionally opening MySQL Workbench to poke around when things don’t work.

What does the power situation in CA, which has been very stable lately in SoCal, have to do with Texas?
There’s some argument that Centerpoint spent 50-75% less on tree maintenance[0] than some of its most direct comparison companies. This category 1 hurricane knocked out power to 85% of Houston customers, which is significantly worse than recent-ish stronger storms. A category 1 shouldn’t knock out 85% of the power in Houston - that might be more acceptable for a category 3-4 hurricane. Please also see some of this[1] discussion which includes experiences during past worse events where power was basically restored after a couple days.

Well, still less expensive than power outage i.e. economy outage. Losses must be enormous, logically you should be happy to pay 10x for underground cables.
You might be getting downvoted because many people know Python is among the slower dynamic languages, and there are other reasons to use it. Speaking for myself, the reasons that make me reach for Python for some projects are the speed of development, large ecosystem of libraries, large developer pool, and pretty good tooling/IDE support.
There are basically 3 carriers in the US, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon; other carriers use the networks of those 3.
If the goal is to have students have experience that will help in real world jobs, use standardized tool chains they will see there. WSL2, VS Code, git. Or a Linux VM. Having to code for a Linux environment on a non Linux machine is super common in industry, and a well solved problem at this point.
That appears to be a useful solution to part of the challenges in the domain.

I'm not sure what countries that spans (I'm in Australia) so there's perhaps scope for others to expand across other geographic locations.

There's also the "don't babysit me" aspect, a good number of elders are often slowly diminishing in capability and have no desire to be immediately shifted to a full guardianship when what they want is incrementally increasing trusted oversight that they are in control of.
Same. I just bought a scanner which I intend to use to scan and OCR my notes so that I can finally shred the mountain of paper I have. But I know I won't read the digital copy either so I'm not sure why I'm bothering. I guess it's the next step to putting it completely out of mind.
85% of Houston lost power. That absolutely does not happen “every time”, especially for a category 1 hurricane. Some power loss, definitely. But not to this extent.
You can do the second part that is C!
The breach here was not against AT&T but against a cloud computing company called Snowflake.

Cloud computing companies, so-called "tech" companies, and the people who work for them, including many HN commenters, advise the public to store data "in the cloud". They encourage the public, whether companies or individuals, to store their data on someone else's computer that is connected to the open internet 24/7 instead of their own, nevermind offline storage media.

Countless times in HN threads readers are assured by commenters that storing data on someone else's computer is a good idea because "cloud" and "_____ as a service". Silicon Valley VC marketing BS.

"Maybe pierce the corporate veil and criminally prosecute those whose negligence made this possible."

Piercing the veil refers to piercing limited liability, i.e., financial liability. Piercing the veil for crimes is relatively rare. Contract or tort claims are the most common causes of action where it is permitted.

There is generally no such thing as "criminal negligence" under US law. Negligence is generally a tort.

As for fines, if there were a statute imposing them, how high would these need to be to make Amazon, Google, Microsoft or Apple employees and shareholders face "real consequences".

Is it negligent for AT&T to decide to give data to a cloud computing company such as Snowflake? HN commenters will relentlessly claim that storing data on someone else's computers that are online 24/7 as a "service", so-called cloud computing, is a sensible choice.

Data centers are an environmental hazard in a time when the environment is becoming less habitable, they are grossly diminishing supplies of clean water when it is becoming scarce, and these so-called "tech" companies are building them anyway.

Data centers are needed so the world can have more data breaches. Enjoy.
US PATENT: Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors
I'd hope that all stable coins have a shorter life than the currency they are connected to; but that website is silly. Tether is by far the largest stable coin, has been around as long as anything on that list and has been shockingly resilient under pressure so far having survived 2x depeg events, positive real interest rates, a couple of market crashes and anything else I missed along the way. It has outlasted names like Credit Suisse, Silicon Valley Bank and Venezuela.

It is only a question of time until it fails like everything else does, but so far so good.

It's not that Swift itself failed, but that Lattner thinks Swift has become too complex too fast, due to the pressure of a rapidly growing user base.
For what it's worth, these days you could use an LLM to turn each code snippet into many other languages.

Or just focus on his words and use the snippets like generic code and figure out how to do it in whatever language of choice.

You don't need to "learn java" to become conversant or read it as pseudocode.
I can't remember the last time I had to delete a repo, at most I do a hard reset to the head of the main branch. Still don't care and I'm doing well enough getting consistent maximum performance ratings at my job and building things in my own time. Sometimes a problem is not worth addressing, and part of being an effective software engineer on the whole is recognizing those times.
Modern installation of buried utilities in urban areas is often done with horizontal boring these days. Minimal damage to roads and other infrastructure that way.

Where are you getting these numbers from?

I was looking at https://www.opensecrets.org/industries because this site inspired me, it suggest finance/insurance/real estate spent $1,249,076,508 so far in the 2024 election cycle which seems a lot more plausible than $50 million. The risk-reward here suggests industries should be pumping billions into elections. The payoffs for regulatory capture are huge and the crypto people are novices compared to anyone else in finance.

While it was initially a Cat 5 off the coast, it was a Category 1 hurricane by the time it reached Houston and degraded to a tropical storm before actually leaving Houston. As much as I'm willing to recognize that severity is relative, if any city in Florida lost power as completely and for as long as a result of a Category 1/tropical storm, they'd be ridiculed into next century.

And of course this isn't a one off event for Texas either. This is a symptom of a much larger systematic failure of the state's energy grid (which notably isn't connected to and refuses to coordinate with any of the other state grids).
This looks like a great way to quickly make simple 3D scenes! Love the idea!

Rye is pretty alpha, uv is young, too, and they are not part of "core" Python, not under the Python Foundation umbrella (like e.g. mypy is).

The fact that it is a Molly White project means take it with a basketball sized grain of salt. She has deeply held beliefs and keeps cherry picking until the data supports them.

In addition (or adjacent) to game conventions, I have to say meeting a friend or two who are board game fiends (and own many games) does wonders for learning and playing new games.

Also game stores are like black holes for me, even if I mostly end up browsing rather than playing (though they usually have a schedule of game play events that you can join.)
This also explains why drivers for new PC-GPUs (Intel, Qualcomm) are so "bad". They probably aren't that bad, they just don't contain hacks for decades of games like Nvidia and AMD.

Time happened. Before, when the internet wasn't so established, it'd be easier to gain traction.

Blogs cost a large deal of time and effort. The reward used to be a decent amount of traction. These views, engagement created motivation and also would inspire others to hop on.

Since things were new, attention was more distributed, even if some blogs recieved a lot of views. It wasn't so overwhelming like today, where the top recieved virtually everything.

Because of this attention economy, now there's so many other things to do. Both for the blog writer and potential readers. With the little time people have, they'd rather be reading pgs blog like some random smuck like myself.
This isn't only for blogs, it's also true of movies, people would rather watch the big ones than small or mid movies.

To write a blog, to spend so much time and effort. To pour one's soul out and have ZERO reads is brutal. Yet, a tiktok of someone farting will gain infinitely more attention than the blog article. Its not very motivatial to continue in this climate.
I’m glad you’ve found a happy place in your work, but maybe take some of your own advice, drop this bit of your religion and change this to “use the right tool for the job”.

If you’re doing business logic in a micro service, C is probably the wrong choice. Python, Ruby, whatever probably makes more sense.

But if we are trying to build a (very) high-performance trading engine, or a device driver for a new piece of hardware we are building, and you are on my team and you show up with something in TypeScript because “it’s better”, we are going to need a conversation about whether you’re in the right place. I love high level languages but I also know the problem sets when not to use it.

I also know that if I am going to be writing something very low level, it’s a conscious choice and I’m going to invest in the tooling and the time to make sure my code is safe and secure.

The more generic advice might be that if you love a particular language or approach you might want to work on problems where that language is a good fit. Likewise, if you like particular problems, you should learn the language others think are a good fit in that problem space.
When you have an infrastructure team at your company - that is basically what they do - changing IaaS or your bare metal into PaaS. But yes that is only useful at certain scale of operations.

Maybe with such tooling as original post it will be useful in smaller scale.
I was mostly speaking about POSIX, since that was the focus of GGP.

Yes, you should only use them on POSIX.

My utility does build natively on Windows, though.
I think you miss the point. The models you mention were not something my parents would (or could, maybe) buy. I wouldn't even dare asking if we could get an Apple. The Sinclair units were something we could afford and within budget.
Logically, yes. But that's seldom how things go. Burying the wires would be a major capital expenditure. Bonds need to be issued, depending on the municipality, voters may need to get involved. Shareholders, where applicable, don't like it.

Yes, the cost for repair is high, but that's part of the operating budget, and each instance of repair is much cheaper than the cable-burying project, so the cost is "amortized" in a weird way that seems more palatable.

Meanwhile, the utility isn't held responsible for the economic costs related to the outage, so they don't care about those costs. Even in California, where the utility has been found liable when their infrastructure starts wildfires that kill people, they still aren't doing massive cable-burying projects.

I don't agree with it. I think it's stupid and short-sighted. But there are reasons. Most of them start with "c" and end with "apitalism".
