Python's community was significantly smaller and less flushed with cash during the 2 to 3 transition. Since then there has been numerous 3.x releases that were breaking and people seem to have been sucking it up and dealing with it quietly so far.

The main thing is that unlike the 2 to 3 transition, they're not breaking syntax (for the most part?), which everyone experiences and has an opinion on, they're breaking rather deep down things that for the most part only the big packages rely on so most users don't experience it much at all.
Is a mini-series about this already greenlit?
The problem is that anytime anyone tries to outlaw something, no matter how obvious and for the health of the market it may be, "capitalists" will crawl out for the woodwork to exclaim "this is the death of the free market!"

People do it here, constantly. Look at the FTC - they're charged with maintaining and enforcing a competitive free market. But when they make rules or prevent monopolistic mergers or anti-competitive contracts, conservatives and libertarians lose their minds.

It seems nobody knows what capitalism is!
yes but it was cancelled after becoming too popular
This at least makes sense. Thanks.

> guaranteed traffic level

You've got 3 types of use cases merged in one there.

First, The generic business internet which gives you uncontended bandwidth usage as far as an internet exchange point and an ISP which ensures its peering and transit is not oversubscribed.

Second, point to point ethernet connectivity. This morning I had an issue with a point-to-point connection I have from Beijing to the UK for example, where latency had jumped overnight from 215ms to 430ms. This is provided as point to point ethernet by I would assume something like MPLS or VXLAN over the providers network. I've had SDH and ATM backed ethernet services in the past too.

Third, I have link with an optical service from, which does map to a dedicated frequency as in your 3rd option, although it's provided to me as a standard ethernet handoff.

This is different to "pay for a dedicated frequency on a cable", as the service I have has an ethernet handoff. I couldn't put non-ethernet traffic on the frequency.

I've also got dedicated cables with a service provision at an ethernet layer (the provider gives me an ADVA which they control). The actual light goes from the ADVA in my equipment box to another ADVA in another equipment box

In none of these situations do I need to worry about frequencies, high power SFPs, etc, the handoff from the provider is always ethernet, they handle that.

My company does have some leased fibre between campuses too, I tend not to get involved in that, but I know one department runs some 800G sfps over a leased fibre between cities about 200 miles long. I don't think we have any owned fibre other than between buildings on the same campus
Don't give them food either.

If you live in a western country, or even most developing nations (India in particular has a great culture around this) food is available to the homeless.

When you give them food they have to eat it on the cold wet ground often with filthy hands, not at a table with a knife and fork like they had gone to the shelter or soup kitchen. They don't get to feel human. They don't get to experience dignity.

The soup kitchens are strategically located, often in areas where begging won't net you much. This is intentional, its set up to drive the homeless into the arms of the social workers and help them stay sober so that they might have a moment of clarity whilst talking to them.

If you want to help volunteer, make the toast or wash dishes so the social workers can spend more time trying to reach their clients.

You aren't trained to help so don't try. Its a more complex problem than you are equipped to do anything about. Trust the people who dedicated their lives to this work.
Thanks! The books and essays are fantastic, and if I get a few people to read them, this will have been a successful talk!

Re: LinkedIn—Ha! I debated on how much to include/not-include specific references to my previous employer there, and erred on the side of “let’s keep this grounded in specific real-world experience at least a little”. I think you might get mildly tipsy, but not terribly drunk.

Your dad is partly right. The main reason though is that we don’t care. Most people don’t care.

That’s the dark truth of it all.

Don’t worry about your kids or yourself. As usual most people won’t think so deeply about the matter and they will come up with some excuse to lie to themselves.

A few people will actually care enough to help. But these people are a tiny minority.

Among the people that don’t care most will be lying to themselves. Out of these people a small portion will be able to face their own intrinsic evil and literally say it like it is: I just don’t give a shit.

I’m one of those people. Anyone else like me?
In this context, V8 and PyPy aren't fast. Or at least, not generally; they may actually do well on this task because pure number tasks are the only things they can sometimes, as long as you don't mess them up, get to compiled language-like performance. But they don't in general to compiled language performance, despite common belief to the contrary.
It's not very effective though is it, which is the real problem.

Perhaps they need to give it more resources?
Rhis hits a spot for me that I call "millionaire problems":
The owners of the company are millionaires. They're just as smart as the workers, and vastly more well-resourced. You, as an employee, shouldn't cry for their challenges or break your back helping take on their burdens. Their job is "managing", their job is dealing with unions, fundraising, assessing productivity etc. - so step aside and let them do their job. You focus on doing yours.

It depends on the individual. Any generalized answer will have cases that don't seem to fit.

Personally, if a guy looks like he's in rough shape and asks me for a drink, I might oblige him. Not because I think it's helping him in the long run, but because it could help him feel better now.
I think the author agrees but is dismayed that these organizations don't "solve" homelessness. I'll offer the suggestion that it might be _even better_ to donate that money towards somehow providing housing.
Cities also have to adhere to cottage laws - it's perfectly legal and protected to run a small business out of your home. Unless the HOA says no. This isn't a power the city has.
> Drugs change brain neurochemistry, which means they change the very apparatus of conscious experience.

this is an uninformed comment. Medical science literature starts out in Chapter 1 with "some kinds of drugs create chemical states that are not possible without the substance, while others change chemical states that are also naturally occurring" .. roughly paraphrased.

A notable thing about this topic is so many people assume they have expert insights?
The meat:

> Last year, French media outlet La Lettre reported that until 2021, Netflix in France minimised its tax payments by declaring its turnover generated in France to the Netherlands.

> investigators are trying to determine whether Netflix continued to attempt to minimise its profits after 2021.

Wasn't Uber or some other US company found doing something similar? First they were found to be in violation of some law/dodging taxes, said they'd fix it and later found to not have done anything about it? Is that behavior perhaps more accepted in the US than Europe?
> You launch your local service locally, you consume whatever you need to consume straight from a cloud environment, you test the contract with a local test set, and you deploy the service. That's it.

If your services are mostly stateless and/or your development team is very small that can work. If not, you will quickly run into problems sharing the data. Making schema changes to the shared cloud services. Cleaning up dev/test/etc data that has accumulated, etc. Then you are back to thinking of provisioning isolated cloud environment per dev.

>refugees seeking shelter

I'm not legally nor morally obliged to provide them shelter, not do I wish to with my tax money. "No taxation without representation." It should be the voters' choice what to do with their tax money and I vote to provide shelter first to the local EU nationals. When there are no locals struggling to afford shelter, then we can talk about helping strangers from other places. No matter what you do, there will always be people suffering on the planet. It's not my job to help them all with my tax money nor is it realistically possible.

>only if we improve conditions everywhere in the world can we improve our own lives too.

Kneecapping our economy and our working class' standard of living in the noble pursuit of fixing the world's issues is not the choice most taxpayers want (see the swing in election results) nor is it realistically achievable no matter how much you reduce your heating/AC and how many paper straws you use when another Exxon oil tanker dumps its waste in the ocean as we speak and the likes of Nestle keep destroying the planet for profit and China and India are burning more cheap fossil fuel.

As long as the global economy revolves around greed of destroying the environment and privatizing the winnings in the pockets of a few multinational corporations and socializing the losses to the governments, environment and the working class taxpayers, your individual actions and sacrifices are in vain, while you're proposing the European working class should pay for this damage when it's not their fault nor responsibility since they're not profiting from this.

So squeezing the European working class further into poverty, in the name of some virtue signaling for the sake of the world (which the US, India, China and the Middle East aren't doing), is how you get another Adolf elected in Europe.

>normally bulletproof service history of zinc spelter cable terminations in structures.

They're relatively new, they're relatively expensive (which saves them from being used in the worst of the applications) and like most things inherent to steel cable and whatnot they tend to get employed in situations where safety factors are generous. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Here's my answer to the "but they'll spend it on drugs" point:

Well, the life of a person whose addiction (always stemming from spirals or depression, abuse, physical or mental illness) has driven them to homelessness is horrible. Why shouldn't I give them the means to a brief escape from the pain?

Yes, of course, escape from addiction and rehabilitation is the goal. But denying them temporary relief of the only kind they, in their addiction, are currently capable of, is just more cruelty. And nothing will drive them deeper into it than being ignored by everyone who walks past.

Of course, if you have time and means, volunteer, donate to a homeless shelter or charity. But if you, like most people, are not going to do that, and you just get the occasional pang of conscience when walking by, then by all means, give!

I wonder how these "office raids" would work for remote first companies that don't have much of an office presence and with little or no physical documents and everything being stored in the cloud somewhere.
It's like in a math textbook where they say the word, obviously. No, it might NOT be obvious to your reader. See the story of Shizuo Kakutani teaching: https://curiosamathematica.tumblr.com/post/122398968526/obvi...

It might "just" be simple to you, but that could be with your years of knowledge. Write for your audience. If it's an informational blogpost? "just" might annoy people who do get confused because they think it should be easy. "Just" make the app.

The same principle is why I try not to teach any game as "Simple", even when it is to me. Some people cannot follow rules to a game, no matter how simple, and then are frustrated when the "simple" game doesn't come to them. Why add that layer of negativity?
I am economist and former quant. I wrote a report on the gender pay gap for a candidate for Congress. There is evidence of a gap.

Glassdoor has a great report showing that salaries for the same company and same job title are about 7% lower for women. An academic paper on MBA grads showed that hiring salaries for women were lower. So there is evidence for it.

For the MBA grads, the paper show that with training on negotiation, women got salaries similar to men. So, there are policies that help.

My personal gripe is "non-linear". These are pages you shouldn't be able to see just by flipping page-to-page... ideal for "choose your own adventure" type books.

Apple Books doesn't treat these like pages that display only after you tap/click a link though. They render them as a sort of popup above the regular page, styled differently and even with a different page width, as some sort of endnote-not-at-the-end functionality. If that non-linear page also has a link to tap/click on, too bad. Nothing in the spec even slightly suggests their interpretation of it, and the longer they make it the norm, the more impossible it will become to implement the correct functionality because other book titles will have become dependent on it.

If you are stuck with Java, you will not want to offload that kind of checking into the static types system.

Instead, you have object constructors. Use them.

They will dump all kinds of `if (result.is_valid)` variants over your code. But well, this is Java. It's not a different kind of shit from `if (result != null)`, and it's something you have to live with.

Stories like this need to be understood. It’s tiring hearing people in the U.S. say things like, “If you don’t love America then move elsewhere.” Moving elsewhere is an option for only a few people. It’s also necessary for most people to find a community of fellow immigrants. Locals won’t accept you (depending on where you go).
Yeah. I just don't want to do small acts of charity.

I think "evil" is a strong word for it, though. I see bigger evils than apathy in the news every day. And I vote for policies that are supposed to help these people. Some people are actively voting against them.

OTOH I don't call it good when people take care of their friends and family. That's self-interest, that's tit-for-tat. Everyone is kind to people who are kind to them. That does not impress me one bit.

In 2018, I wrote an article on pushing NFSv4 through stunnel, resulting in NFS over TLS. Emails between NFS kernel developers indicate that this is much faster than Kerberos, and the RSA key setup that I published was adopted in RFC-9289 (which I assume also addresses the performance issue).

Edit: Some time after I published, one of the RFC authors outlined the NFS architectural changes in a blog post.

> When you give them food they have to eat it on the cold wet ground often with filthy hands

Seriously? There is a wide range of packaged food available, ensuring that your hands never have to come into contact with the food, and they give you napkins and plastic utensils, too, if you want. You simply hand it over to them in the packaging.

My simplified equation for stress is:
```
(workload) * (giving a shit)
```
Workload is set by company, giving a shit is set by you. You may not last long, but nothing is stopping you from letting those Jira tickets pile up. It's especially a promising strat if layoffs are market-based instead of performance-based.

Of course I imagine most engineers enjoy feeling productive, and wasting everyone's time does take a psychological toll.
I don't understand why people believe their standards should apply to other people's property. I don't get why you simply being near them in proximity means you believe you're entitled to control over their land.

We've let residential property as an investment go waaaaay too far. And now we have little suburban dictators running around everywhere enforcing whatever the fuck they want, to protect their investment.
If you were homeless, would you ask people for money?

For me, the answer is probably yes, and so it makes sense for me to give money to folks in that situation.
My ability to think of examples obviously isn't that great.

I still don't see where it fits into the lineup. If there's still a PixelMator Pro in 6 months, I'll be surprised, but it won't be the first time I'm completely wrong about something.
It's even better to vote for politicians who want to change society so that nobody has to live on the street.
I disagree with this entire comment.

The Python community consisted of tons of developers including very wealthy companies. At what point in the last few years would you even say they became “rich enough” to do the migration? Because people are STILL talking about trying to fork 2.7 into a 2.8.

I also disagree with your assertion that 3.x releases have significant breaking changes. Could you point to any specific major breaking changes between 3.x releases?

2 to 3 didn’t break syntax for most code either. It largely cleaned house on sensible API defaults.

I sometimes give to panhandlers, but it’s mostly for my own benefit. I don’t believe my actions do anything to solve a problem, but I also don’t want to desensitize myself to the misery of others so much that I can easily ignore them. As far as I know, there is ample evidence that homelessness can be solved if there is sufficient political will to implement a structural solution.
I honestly don't care if they spend it on drugs and think addiction is another ill of society like any other. Fear of giving money to an addict is an excuse we give ourselves. I always give them money, but I only do it once for the same person, so that the next person has an opportunity.
I mean, that would be way easier for the government agencies, no? Just send a subpoena to the service providers, they hand over all the data and you're done?
I'd believe that people were serious about this if every time they said "well, they'll just spend it on booze" then also went home and donated an equivalent amount to such programs.
For less than the price of a candy bar you can feel better about yourself for the rest of the day. Small acts acts of kindness are rational even if the guy does go buy a bottle of gin.
I give money to people on the street all the time, but it's rarely about the money. It's about stopping, asking how they're doing, showing them that someone cares even for just a minute or two, and then, lastly, giving them money that might be good for a slice of pizza or coffee.

There was a guy on my corner here in Brooklyn who I'd do this with a lot over the years. One night I was coming back from Manhattan and he clearly had just taken something -- he was in a totally joyful, high state. We say what's up, he's laughing, and then is like "can I have a hug?!?". And so we hug, he starts yelling "thank you!", and I ask him if he needed any money, to which he said "no money! just hugs!".

He's clearly been through an amount of trauma I can't even begin to imagine. If throwing a few dollars his way while chatting for a moment makes him feel like people see him as a human, then I'm going to keep doing it.

Two-thirds of the US population lives with-in one hundred miles (160km) of the border:

The US population is fairly concentrated, and it seems that many people like living next to other people (for personal and/or economic reasons).
Over the last 16 years I've worked with a wide range of clients. Most of my clients fall within the median but of course there are many that make more or less than the median.

An important thing to understand is that income is not fixed. There are many things you can do to increase it. But even those making below $75k can afford a down payment on a home if they free up the money that's going toward debt, make changes to their budget, and choose an appropriately priced house.
Where I live in Europe there is plenty of shelter available for homeless people.

But they often don't want to go there because of their substance abuse issues as there's typically a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol.
Yes, many HOAs have rules against political signage. This is blatantly a first amendment violation, but since they're technically a private organization, they can do that.

Yep. My wife is a person centered counsellor. The core of this approach is that the therapist is not the expert in the client, and provides no direction to the client. They just provide a space for the client to explore their issues.

Other modalities can be much more directive to the client, but are equally effective. Some may work better for different people, but not for all of them.
