At least in academic circles python has always looked like pseudo code for C(or similar) you can execute so everyone has "used it" at some point or another to describe algorithms and stuff. Then the same academic circles do a lot

Well, I regret finishing from time to time so maybe Kierkegaard was right after all: "...whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy."

While that looks correct at first glance I'm not sure if the calculation is so simple. You have exactly 1 destination with a plane flight, right ? A to B. But with a train you have A + all stops along the way + B so if done correctly y

I believe the issue is way too technical for most of FB’s user base(which is supposedly enormous) and it seems most senators too so appropriate action is not to be expected. And then you have the issue of people not wanting to look stupid e

Brilliant analogy! I speculate confusion about the term originally came from the word “debt”. For a layman it tends to be associated with an extremely narrow definition.

Where I am(Europe high income) it doesn’t seem to have hit at all especially my industry(software). That being said employers have become MUCH more flexible with remote work.

I look for 3 things that vary greatly between brands/models: 1. Modular build. E.g. with new thinkpads you can’t even remove the battery. That sucks. 2. Good keyboard. 3. Linux support Everything else is usually pret

It's really amazing how much information is there for each location. Does anyone know more about how long was this info gathered and how ?

I definitely like the flexibility – and I can do 5 days in the office if I want to. Although full disclosure my contract did come with 2 days remote included pre-pandemic so I did in fact sign up for it :-)

To put it simply: No, working at an office is not intrinsically bad or evil, BUT everything around it is sufficiently broken to the point where people really don’t want to deal with it. This includes commutes, housing, healthcare in some(!)

I was mainly trying to explain why supply side there are a lot more politics/business submits on HN(go to the "new" section) than usual. And I agree moderators are concerned with other things.

I actually believe 50% is very optimistic. Main reason being we’re talking about a very complex non linear event that is not very well studied and depends on a society that hasn't experienced a default before. Above could also explain

Makes perfect sense - drug dealers don't want to kill their paying customers.

I feel like the 2000s internet would've just split off and made their own thing(e.g. new protocol) in this situation. But it seems we've passed the inertia barrier for things like that.

Probably something to do with a lot of us becoming pawns in silicon valley's carefully orchestrated theater. Maybe combined with mass media grappling harder and harder for people's attention as their precious TV dies out. Looks li

You say it like it's a worse option. I'd argue it is actually better to burn money since then government won't have so much money which will make it an unimportant target for big corp contractors. And it is currently and ther

Yep. And it almost always delivers. As a bonus all your clients/monitoring/devops stack is exactly the same across applications.

I’m fairly certain Google funding Mozilla doesn’t help the whole situation.

I believe you’re correct, except for the ultra rich. Some of them pay themselves symbolically like a 1$ pr. year , e.g. https://thehustle.co/1-ceo-salary/ that seems to have a positive effect.

We're just walking into a future where these kind of leaks happen every other day, aren't we ?

That's great and all, but the tax revenue in absolute terms from corporations is probably several orders higher than what you can tax a rich CEO. Just something to keep in mind.

Availability. Most anything else can be found implemented in other languages, but better and more concise. Nothing can beat having JS in all browsers, however.

super! How far would you say are you in indexing the blogosphere ? I tried the engine a few times, but I mostly get academic papers and I know most (good) blogs are in fact text-heavy.

I'd take it the other way around: how is it possible that the most highly valued company in the world still innovates at all ? It could be just me, but I'd imagine it's quite windy at the top and innovation is not top priorit

It is difficult. The youtube video recommendation algo works in a way where most views videos get are from first time viewers so content creators adjust to make their videos first time viewer friendly. So it has to be up to the channel to d

Not only software support, but ongoing software support. The first rpi is still in use and fully supported.
