> I skimmed much of "https://discuss.python.org/t/for-your-consideration-proposed...", and all the Tim Peters comments I saw so far reflected pretty well on him.

I read most of it,twice. I almost agreed with Peter's after the first skim, but on reading the second time, I do think use a lot of rethorical stratagems/fallacies (he isn't the only one but the fact that he posted a lot does not help, and the use of the 'slippery slope' argument in like his 3rd post is a killer) so i now tend to distrust his good faith. The 'arguments' he use are fairly anecdotal, and now I think he's mostly wrong and a touch too adversarial. I think the Bennet guy made far better arguments (and that's frm someone who don't know/think anything about the overall situation).

Overall, I don't think Tim Peters is a bad guy (tm), I think he has been mischaracterized/misunderstood, but his position was mostly wrong and he was a bit too active, which made him seem adversarial/trollish, which did not help. Also, clearly bad faith arguments are cheap and makes me dislike you when I fell for it (which I did).

Banning for that is a bit much, but I understand my sensitivity is not the rule (but it should be :)).

P.S: Re-reading that made me feel like I'm part of the 'lesswrong' community. I'm not, but I see why checking the use of rethorical fallacies is useful.
Yes, we should have a Land Value Tax to replace income tax.
I think you're missing the point. You're focusing on the technical differences, but it's not outlandish to imagine Apple demanding a cut of all transactions on iOS over time.

It would start slowly, with a minor value-add (e.g., making it easier to put/use CC info in the secure enclave, or whatever incremental step they choose), and an announcement that in exchange for "easing payments and making them more secure", Apple will be charging X% of transactions with their system.
> So why do companies make them? Because people spend more money when they can just use the in app purchase functionality.

I assumed it was so they could skirt around the privacy built more consistently into web browsers. Or that they are still stuck in the "There's an app for that" era that I think we have collectively left behind.
I heard of many things. There is an infinite repertoire of possible techniques how they could have verified that nobody entered their room. Ranging from the low tech (dust, crisps, hair stuck to the door frame, filling the room with angry bobcats), through the social engineering (befriended the head of security who told them), to ultra high tech (lidar triggered camera array reporting to a satellite ).

On a balance of probabilities without hearing more on how they specifically verified it I will still assume the alternate hypothesis. Which is that someone on the internet is very sure about something and they are wrong.

It is not due to a lack of imagination. Or because I haven't heard some cool spy trick you have heard about. It's because I find it (in the absence of other information) the most likely explanation given a lifetime of observations about human nature.

> The web COULD be made to support more of these use cases

No, it couldn't

> but Apple

Apple has nothing to do with the fact that the web can barely render a page of static text and images without stutter. Almost every single app made with web technologies is a slow bloated abomination barely capable of doing a few primitive things right. And those that aren't have insane amounts of effort poured into them.

If you believe that Apple has something to do with it, why isn't there a flood of amazing smooth native-like apps on Android where none of the real or perceived limitations exist? Why is there a Google Play store with hundreds of thousands of apps?

Intel 18A Status Update: First Chips Booting, First Customer Tape-Out in H1'25
IMO the Python version provides more information about the final state of res than the Go version at a glance: It's a list, len(res) <= len(foo), every element is an element of foo and they appear in the same order.

The Go version may contain some typo or other that simply sets result to the empty list.

I'd argue that having idioms like list comprehension allows you to skim code faster, because you can skip over them (ah! we're simply shrinking foo a bit) instead of having to make sure that the loop doesn't do anything but append.

This even goes both ways: do-notation in Haskell can make code harder to skim because you have to consider what monad you're currently in as it reassigns the meaning of "<-" (I say this as a big Haskell fan).

At the same time I've seen too much Go code that does err != nil style checking and misses a break or return statement afterwards :(
So for the technical variants it would mostly be a question mof fidelity.

For the style variants, you could have a bunch of different judging criteria, but in the end, yes, very subjective, and the panel of judges would give ratings, drop the two highest and the two lowest, average the rest. You could even constrain this to matching the genre/style of the original, or specifying a genre/style for the performance independent of that of the original. Or could just go head-to-head and let the judges decide rather than trying to give an objective ranking.

If a host country chose "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as their "song by a living artist" then this competition is taking place in the 1830s and we'd probably need to address that first.

It wasn't always this way. Milton Friedman introduced the idea in the 1970s that businesses could ignore their workers and communities because if they focused on profit, that would benefit everyone. Shareholder Theory elevates the stockholders above all others and leads to stock buybacks and optimizing for wealth extraction.

Actually yeah fair enough; I’ll grant that death may be a system.
> There's a reason divorce rates are low:

The ratio of divorces to marriages is lower than any point since the 1970s. Fewer marriages are ending in divorce, and this is all ignoring that divorces are lagging so the effect is even more pronounced.

> Obviously, the OP is advocating divorce for highly troubled marriages

It actually isn't obvious. Stating that you're a proponent of divorce without qualifiers sounds like something that a jaded spinster would say. But regardless this whole sidetrack is in relation to an article that really obviously is talking about marriages falling apart over silly things, not abusive or actually broken relationships, but invariably we get caught up in tut tut exception commentary.

That's hardly the worst that could happen.

You can say it's easy, but if you try to make your app only take payments off platform you will fight with Apple for months.

Apple will gladly say they aren't preventing you from taking payment off platform and then make your life hell. They are big enough that this isn't some accident, this is 100% on purpose.

>> People dealing with finance are THE MOST risk-averse people I know. No new tool will be used without years of vetting and it'll still be blamed if something goes wrong - even if the new tool never touched that bit of the process =)

What exactly do you mean by "finance" in your context? Even within a huge organization like Bank of America you can have an extremely conservative part and an innovative part. Obviously, most employees are likely working for the conservative part, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some people playing using modern technology. It just doesn't get evenly distributed, and you can be many layers from that usage in your department.

> Apollo program doesn’t seem to be a good example of a space pipeline that is sustainable for a few decades at least

Correct. OP suggested the root of the problem is we haven't made "these workers government employees." The Apollo programme had lots of government employees. Commercial interests clearly aren't at the root of the problem.

This makes me a little bit less of a fan of Python, maybe that thing has jumped the shark after all. Time will tell.

Looking a bit more into this. I saw https://discuss.python.org/t/im-leaving-too/58408

And this really makes me sad for Python: the whole thing is so far away from a productive discussions, posts get hidden, etc. Very much a poisoned well.

Everything about this reeks to me. Why do we need to build so many warships? (To fight China? We're going to war with another nuclear power?) Why are we fighting Houthi rebels? But also, why isn't the government sponsoring this training? Why is it only thousands, and not hundreds of thousands or even millions of workers being trained? And when did the call go out that they were going to be offering training? (I never hear about these initiatives, or when I do, it's for a couple thousand people to get into a position that pays $18/hr starting. Might as well walk onto a warehouse job.) If this is so important, why did they close so many shipyards during realignment?

Like, from every angle, it's ill-conceived.

Reproducible docker images are almost useless for the things you want reproducible for. Sure you can reproduce the image for all of the future, but that image is useless in a few years when the certificates expire. Those expired certificates mean you cannot use the image for whatever you wanted it for.

A variation of the above is reproducible builds are not that useful - sure you can prove the build is the same, but in the end you want the latest security fixes applies and so by the time you create the replacement build and verify it the build is obsolete.

Don't get me wrong, reproducible builds are important and do good things - but there are severe limits to what you can/should do with them and so while it is important to demand them, they are not important to use yourself.

> GitHub seems like it's going to be eternal for now, but when the industry moves on in 10 years time every single Go project is going to break.

This isn't correct. The Go module proxy stores all of the module content so it's still available even if the original source is removed.

He donates to starving children, but he doesn't talk about it loudly often enough.

Texas is an energy producing state. They really care about energy. They're not so focused on it being green for the sake of it being green, they like it because it's cost effective energy. I think this fact rubs the author the wrong way, because he wants green energy for the sake of green, not for the sake of energy.

Since he likes to use the terms "left" and "right", I'd love to see him do his graphs such as percentage of total production, total from the month green energy production reached 1% and all that stuff, with countries like Cuba, Venezuela, even China. I hear China is a big green energy producer now, I wonder how it fares on these metrics against Texas, the right wing of all the right wing states.
I was actually thinking about simulated annealing as I got into this.

I've found that reducing this specific mode of perturbation over time has not been necessary. The simulation will oscillate its way right into a perfect fitness score assuming everything else is good.

Convergence seems to rely much more heavily on the quality of the fitness function and population management (i.e. size, selection criteria, mutation strategies). I apply random mutations to delays and weights, but using a spectrum of mutation each time (I.e. some clones are heavily mutated while others are barely touched). This spectra of mutation is constant all the way through the simulation.
This makes me wonder: why there's less effort on mobile side? For web, well there are plenty of stuffs.

Perhaps Go devs are not interested in native solution (like Kotlin/Swift etc) and prefer web stack (JS, React etc)?

Did you read the README at all? I thought it was extremely precise about what exactly is meant by the claim in the title. Not much room for misunderstanding.

The title is totally fine. There is no title with zero room for misinterpretation. All I took from it is that it's a library with extreme low latency by some kind of measure.. and then I went to the readme to see exactly what that measure was. Very straightforward.

How will this work with legacy systems? When I would go out to do site installations at concrete plants, the control systems were these antiquated systems cobbled together by CommandAlkon (the major player for the last 20 years). Would you replace that software? Often times these servos and sensors were deeply integrated into the vendor solution, so how could Synnax work in this environment, if at all?

Nope. We are a society by virtue of the specific relationships we negotiate with each other as individuals, at all levels of formality and scale. We don't "live in" a society construed as some separate entity.

And there is no meaningful social context that encompasses everyone, everywhere without regard for the specifics of their individual circumstances. Trying to approach complex social questions by using a Katamari-Damacy-style blob of everything rolled together as your unit of analysis is a sure-fire way of making those questions incomprehensible and intractable.
Perhaps. Most people I work with do servers/backends, distributed systems and embedded systems.

I think it may have more to do with the kind of people I work with.
