Support for ||= and ??= is very exciting!

Would you be willing to share your config? Last I checked, I'd have to enumerate every Google domain and subdomain, which just seemed like too much work. But if others have already done this, itd be easy to just use theirs.

Thank you! I'm not familiar with Nim beyond a few tutorials/docs, so this is very useful context.

Nim has always seemed like an incredible do-it-all language to me. What sorts of most programs are most frequently built with it these days?

Interestingly, they claim yes – the homepage says this: > Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. > Nim's memory management is deterministic and customizable with destructors and move semantics, inspired

What are the advantages of MPS (Memory Pool System) to ORC to your understanding?

That looks exciting! Compiles mypy-annotated Python to a Python C extension. Claims a ~4x speedup, but still quite unstable/buggy, so who knows how much performance they'll have to give up for working software. Fingers crossed!

Thanks! Agreed that's much less concerning. Congrats on the job change to https://www.crunchydata.com/ btw! Hope you're able to continue your community-benefiting work there.

This post feels, to me, like a call for new postgres service companies to spring up. Not SaaS startups, but services-first products-second consultants who know postgres inside out and can solve hard problems that development teams don'

The source you cite has the following headline: "More than half of COVID-19 patients experience ongoing fatigue, study finds" So I'm not sure why that article gives you the impression that any more than 2% is implausible. Whe

Hmm, that's a bit of a rosy interpretation – the article also says this: > Half of people in a study in Dublin still had fatigue 10 weeks after being infected with coronavirus. A third were physically unable to return to work. >

Given that it was released as stable today (Oct 5th 2020), should the title be "Python 3.9 Released" ? EDIT: Previously had a typo "3.8" instead of "3.9", my apologies.

Not only is this a nice technique, it's also a nice introduction to several key CSS Grid concepts.

I think the bigger claim in this paper is that superspreaders drive infection: 80% of infections come from 5.4% of cases (and that transmission rates between housemates is as low as 7-10%). I'm quite curious to learn what stands out ab

I don't think you have to consider the WHO a "conspiracy" in order to lose trust in them. For example, many other sources (which tend to elucidate their sources and reasoning more fully) claim, convincingly, that the evidence

Sorry, by "charge" I mean, charge my laptop at full speed. The limiting factor to my charge speed should not be a cable that has the same designation as another cable which is not a limiting factor.

Right, that's what I'd call a mess. The purpose of a standard should be that if a product conforms to it, the consumer can trust that the product will work. That isn't the case with USB-C. I've had some "USB-C"

10% faster with less memory use and simpler code / data models - nice work! Excited to see the end result. Hopefully HN users on nightly are able to try it out and give feedback.

I actually didn't know that – very cool! There's definitely a lot more to a political process than district sizing, though. For example: - open primaries - approval/score/ranked choice voting - banning political ads - en
