>Americans generally love sports

That’s funny, since I think your sports leagues are the best example of fake competitiveness. Every major sports operates a closed league.

The greatest basketball talent ever from my country is playing for a team that’s tanking (see? it even has a word), which for those who don’t know is the act of purposefully losing games to be able to get better draft picks. Because of a closed league, the players and staff are not really punished for bad performance.

The reason for this (besides the obvious financial reasons) is the idea of losing completely. In football leagues around thw world, historical giants have faded away to irrelevancy due to bad performances year after year or mismanagement (for which there are rules for to have fewer incidents).

Fundamentally though the sports system is more enertainment than pure competition.
> Back then it was just a treaty for free trade and movement, that's it

Not at all. Maybe you are thinking of EFTA, not EU. Or you are just revisionist.

EU was never just about free trade. Back when it was founded as ECSC it was about maintaining peace and putting community interest over national interest.

Quite soon after the UK joined, environmental regulations took hold that forced it to stop being the "Dirty man of Europe". Brexit opponents rightly feared that this would return after leaving the EU.

Serious question; Why do you feel EU is a "shitshow"? What EU policies do you feel have been overreaching on the individual member country's sovereignty lately?

And why do you feel Leyen was unelected? As I understand it, she was elected by the Members of European Parliament [1], and the MEPs were elected by the people of EU last year during the election. And Leyen herself was elected as a MEP.

> The number of students there because they want to learn a subject rounds to zero.

Further - even if someone wants to learn these subjects, most don't see the value in paying for a college course to learn them. Close to no one, after receiving a college degree in a subject, says "I want to learn more about X, I'm going to go ahead and pay $4,000 to take a class in it at the nearby college."

Plenty of people learn things after they graduate. Just about everyone does so in a better manner than a college course. Colleges are only viable because they dangle degrees over students' heads, and then they complain that students are only coming for the degrees.
That's just it though, the democratic and republican parties ran on Israel apartheid maintenance since the end of the second world war. And even in the face of a genocide, the democrats as a national party held the line and refused to consider the crime against humanity unfolding before them. How is electing them supposed to be taken? Should they continue to ignore human rights violations? There was no other way to signal to democrats, as they would rather lose to fascist dictators.

The best homework system i ever experienced was high school calculus.

4 points per assignment. Pass the assignment to a peer for grading. If they wrote down the problem and attempted it: 3 points. One more point if the logic and steps were followable, even if wrong.

The answers were in the back of the book. The homework grade should reflect attempts and practice, not mastery as that is what exams are for.

Just a heads-up if you haven't seen it: Overriding lazy-loading options at query time can help with overfetching.

class Author(Model):
books = relationship(..., lazy='select')

fetch_authors = select(Author).options(raiseload(Author.books))

Anything that gets its Authors with fetch_authors will get instances that raise instead of doing a SELECT for the books. You can throw that in a smoke test and see if there's anything sneaking a query. Or if you know you never want to lazy-load, relationship(..., lazy='raise') will stop it at the source.

>This professor that authored this post is complaining that students don’t have original thoughts. For undergraduates, classes are primarily about competency. Having an original thought is really hard work. You have to have a breadth of knowledge in a field that can’t be attained in an undergraduate course.

It's honestly insane to imagine not expecting an undergraduate to answer a simple question asking for an original thought about a simple topic. The Notes from the Underground example is doing exactly this. "Original enough to be publishable" is not the same as "original". For the latter, it just means that the student thought about a question and gave their own answer rather than repeating some talking point that an internet search or ChatGPT query produced.

> The EU isn't a military unit though, is it?

The EU has it's own version of NATOs article 5, it's the "Mutual defence clause", but people tend to forget that.

From the excerpt:

> This clause provides that if a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power
Focus your energy on the clear abuses of power by the current regime, instead of hypotheticals and edge cases in the system you once had.

The US had a great (not perfect!) system. Free speech with reasonable limits, set by laws and regulations. And helped by a certain amount trust in the system.

When power hungry people, who started abusing the system with misinformation campaigns, ran into those laws and regulations, they claimed the system was treating them unfairly. Those people are now in power.

And trust is now at a minimum.

You could blame the past system for not being able to prevent this regime, but that wouldn’t fit your beliefs. I for one, am happy that we have more stringent rules in the EU.

> The funny thing is, I experience the same "how do you even??" feeling reading statically typed code. There's so much... noise on the screen, how can you even follow what's going on with the code? I guess people are just different?

That really depends on the language, though. If you have type inference, you don't really have to write down that many types, e.g. it's in theory possible entire Haskell programs without mentioning a single type - though in practice, nobody does that for larger programs.

> Remember that dynamic languages ARE usually typed, they are just type checked at runtime not compile time.

This is a common misconception. Dynamically typed languages are not type checked at all. The only thing they'll do is throw errors at runtime in specific situations, whereas statically typed languages verify that the types are correct for every possible execution (well, there are always some escape hatches, but you have to know what you're doing). In a dynamically typed languages it's e.g. perfectly possible to introduce a minor change somewhere that will suddenly cause a function very far removed to break, e.g. if you suddenly return a null value where none was expected, something which I've experienced a ton when working on Ruby codebases (tbf, this can also happen in any statically typed language that adjoins "null" to every type - but there's plenty of modern languages like Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Scala etc. that fix this oversight). If you do that in a modern statically typed language, the compiler will yell at you immediately.

> The errors I'm talking about are like "this CSS causes the element to draw part of its content off-screen, when it probably shouldn't". In theory, some sufficiently advanced type system could catch that (and not catch elements off screen that you want off-screen)? But realistically: pretty challenging for a static type system to catch

I'm perfectly willing to believe that type systems are not very helpful for those kinds of tasks. I think type systems are definitely more useful when there's complex business logic involved, e.g. in huge, complicated backends with many different sorts of entities.

It altered voting intent by both Jewish and Islamic groups in ways which were net negative for Harris. The margin of error in voting was less than the number of votes swayed.

All of this is out weighed by the "didn't vote" but democrat didn't vote was larger than before. If this issue stimulated a vote boycott it could have affected democrat voters more.

Some time ago, I began searching for Python-related events and discovered that many PUGs (local Python User Groups) had disappeared sometime around COVID (at least my local PUGs). After analyzing the ones listed on the official Python website, I found only about 18% were still active, with most hosted on Meetup. This makes sense, as maintaining a community requires time and money, which small PUGs don't have. Meetup can be costly for those starting local Python User Groups, but it's very cheap for big communities. IMO Meetup is not the best place for PUGs, as they are not big by default.

PUGs need a way to communicate and broadcast, to be discovered, but it doesn't necessarily need all of Meetup's features. Also, PUGs probably don't want to be tied to Facebook or other social media platforms. It'd be best if they allowed a simple ownership transfer, once you get tired of organizing.

That's why I created https://pythonuser.group/ - a lightweight side project that, despite being rough around the edges, fulfills the core need: allowing people to discover PUGs worldwide for free. The platform costs me almost nothing to maintain. Allows to subscribe to local PUGs via RSS (not sure if it works). I'll add "export all my PUG data" once someone requests this feature.

It's the first time I share it with the world. Please don't treat it as prod-ready. Feedback welcome at hn@{username}.com
I disagree.

There is this design process called the separation of objectionable concerns, where the task roles are designed to promote complacency through information control, the Stasi perfected it, and its used everywhere today in sensitive positions.

The most objectionable and risk related roles and tasks will be assigned to the fewest number of people with no one else being the wiser.

All other roles involved are narrowly tailored towards specific parts supporting the whole without any knowledge of doing so.

A murky transfer to a foreign prison makes for a very plausible disappearance. This is how these things are done historically, and social media is heavily controlled.

It could easily happen given what happened with regards to China and the Uyghur population.
I'm continuing to develop Uncloud [1] — an open source tool for deploying and managing containerised applications across multiple Docker hosts. Includes WireGuard overlay network, ingress with automatic HTTPS, and simple Docker-like CLI. Unlike traditional orchestrators such as Kubernetes, Uncloud has no state reconciliation or quorum needs which makes it easy to understand and use. If you ever wanted something simpler than Kubernetes for self-hosting your apps on cloud VMs or in your homelab, Uncloud might be for you.

Key updates from the past month:

- New demo screencast [2]: Deploy a highly available web app with automatic HTTPS across cloud VMs and on-premises in just a couple minutes

- Added initial Docker Compose support for service deployment. The same Compose can be used for developing locally and deploying to your cluster

- Completely revamped how service and container specifications are stored, enabling proper implementation of the service 'scale' command and selective container recreation

My goal for Uncloud is to create a more capable and modern replacement for Docker Swarm, which is no longer being actively developed.

Well unless we in Europe want to do in direct conflict with US (ie for Greenland), this is mostly irrelevant extra capability. As Ukraine shows, peer conflicts are won by other means, not stealth air superiority over sheep herders with AKs.
