41,807,700 | comment | account42 | 2024-10-11T09:06:07 | null | Everyone is better off learning how to setup caching properly than continue to pay tens of thousands dollars per month. It's not rocket science.<p>> Mediawiki involves edits that users expect to propagate instantly to other pages. Sometimes this can easilt result in cache stampedes if not setup carefully.<p>Most users should not even be hitting MediaWiki. It's ok to show cache entries that are a couple of seconds or even minutes out of date for logged out users.<p>> MediaWiki supports extensions. Some of the less well architectured extensions add dynamic content that totally destroies cachability.<p>Again, nothing reasonably needs to update all that often. | null | null | 41,801,588 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |

A function returning a single-use iterator is expected to document that with a comment.<p>So the Reverse implementation in this article wouldn't work with single-use iterators. The iter package isn't clear whether a function that requires a multi-use iterator needs to be documented as such. | null | null | 41,798,809 | 41,769,275 | null | null | null | null |

Yesterday I took an old office chair and made new handles for it from foam rubber, poly-s and plush.

Now waiting for a new ball bearing that lost in an unequal battle with my butt.<p>Could easily buy a couple of new ones for the time I spent on it, but I like the process. All that instrument, materials, the flow. It feels like art to me. You just make something out of nothing.<p>Wish it brought as much money as programming, I would work all day, get rich and happy.

41,807,712 | comment | maleldil | 2024-10-11T09:08:58 | null | You picked a poor example for `mean` because there's a very easy answer: collections.abc.Sequence – typing.Sequence in earlier versions – an object that supports __getitem__ and __len__. You can check the collections.abc documentation[1] for the available protocols; you might be surprised about how much they cover already. I often use Sequence/Iterable or Mapping as parameter types instead of concrete types like list or dict.<p>> I feel like a lot of people who want static typing everywhere want it as training wheels for other devs they don't trust to make the right judgement calls.<p>Now, I want it because it makes my life a lot easier. It finds many classes of errors before runtime and improves auto-completion in my editor. For most programs, it's not a lot of effort. The frustrating part is interfacing with untyped libraries while using strict type-checking, but thankfully, more and more libraries are adopting typing. The type system itself is fine: most things you want to express are doable, but it's not at the same level of complexity as Typescript. It's certainly a better type system than Go's for example.<p>[1] <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html" rel="nofollow">https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.abc.html</a> | null | null | 41,807,604 | 41,801,415 | null | [

41,807,718 | comment | vineyardmike | 2024-10-11T09:09:38 | null | A better question, with a growing push for privacy, how can they keep ads from regressing?<p>There’s a lot more that goes into the ad space than just picking which ad to show you, and it’ obviously depends on who wants to reach you. For example, probabilistic attribution is an important component on confirming that you actually got the ad and took the action across multiple systems.<p>Also, since you mentioned it, TV ads tend to be less targeted because they’re not direct-action ads. Direct action ads exist in a medium where you can interact with the ad immediately. Those ads are targeted to you more, because they’re about getting you to click immediately.<p>TV ads are more about brand recognition or awareness. It’s about understanding the demographic who watches the show, and showing general ads to that group. Throw a little tracking in there for good measure, but it’s generally about reaching a large group of people with a common message. | null | null | 41,807,663 | 41,805,446 | null | [

>>> from collections import Counter

You can see that the distribution of pi's first 10,000 digits is what one should expect for a random distribution. If your method requires a 50/50 distribution then it cannot be used for this purpose.<p>Also, you are thinking about it wrong. The first 10,000 digits of pi are perfectly predictable. | null | null | 41,806,512 | 41,805,941 | null | null | null | null |

I'm not counting things like ClojureScript, as you still need to have deep knowledge of the low-level primitives, which exclusively bind to JS.<p>You can use other languages that compile to WebAssembly, but it's borderline as it's basically just a VM / self-contained executable that you can pipe to.

The concept of professionalism is about doing things a certain way to indicate to others that you are, of course, a professional. Writing technical documents in the 3rd person is a basic part of what I would consider professionalism in the broader engineering field.<p>In the software field you get a large portion of people that don't buy into the concept of professionalism. For various reasons - chiefly the hacker culture and the easy of contributing to the "field" means the gauntlet one runs to become a "professional" isn't inherently a given.<p>As a whole this is a good thing but it does mean if you operate as a "professional" maybe sometimes you have to realize that something doesn't exactly gel with your ethos (case in point). It doesn't mean it is bad; just maybe not for you and yours. | null | null | 41,790,418 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

Then delete them from the gallery app, delete them from the Files app and the trash.<p>For some reason, deleting files in the Files app didn't free up space on the iPad.

41,807,762 | comment | hnbad | 2024-10-11T09:17:29 | null | I'm not sure what the tweet has to do with your question.<p>To your question: I'm referring to modern Western racism which is built on the scientific racism that became popular when there were economic incentives to explain why chattel slavery is okay when you do it with some people when it's otherwise not okay to do with others. This was downstream from a massive need for cheap labor in the colonies to produce exotic goods to export to Europe for profit.<p>I don't know why you're asking for an explanation of random unsourced and unqualified historical factoids (without mentioning e.g. <i>which</i> harems, <i>which</i> courts, <i>where</i> and in <i>what time period</i>, which seem kind of important specifics when using vague generalisations like "largely") - maybe ask whoever you learned that from unless you're "just asking questions".<p>But if you want a general answer to "why is there discrimination against groups outside the imperial core" mine would be that it is easier to justify an exploitative power hiearchy, especially one that subjugates the majority of "its own" people, if you declare outside forces as non-human or sub-human to prevent fraternization which might challenge your rule.<p>You can easily find this happening in sexism/"patriarchy": men are humans, women are different because they can get pregnant so they are more emotional, more deceitful, stupider, incapable of abstract thought, too easy to manipulate to deserve voting rights, more likely to cheat on their partners because they want the best genes for their offspring, naturally nurturing and caring, inherently better at social skills, inherently risk averse and unfit for leadership, etc etc whatever whatever. Or, as I already said, racism: white people are humans, Asians are different because they're clever but have no soul and operate like a hive mind, Black people are different because they're stronger but impulsive and child-like and must be disciplined to protect them from themselves, Arabs are different because they're deceitful and uncultured and only know how to steal and destroy and breed, etc etc whatever whatever. Heck, you can even find it in the trappings of "enlightened" critiques of democracy (or defense of capitalism, i.e. the centralisation of control of "capital"): us studied high-IQ people of wealth of course should get a say in things but most people allowed to vote are very stupid, easy to manipulate, only seek to reaffirm their biases, bordering on mentally incapable of managing their own life but also of course completely at fault for everything they suffer, etc etc whatever whatever. All of these are bullshit just-so generalisation that just happen to neatly explain why we (men, white folks, academics, people of wealth, etc) deserve to be in charge and anyone who isn't in that group not only does not deserve to have any say but it is in fact in their best interest for us to be in charge of their life too and if this just happens to benefit us immensely, that is only by pure circumstance and what harm does it do anyway if that is the case.<p>Also, I'm not talking about individual bigotry or stereotypes. "Scientific" racism existed to help perpetuate a system of power relations by justifying the ownership and subjugation of groups of people. Caste systems does and medieval European feudalism did much the same. "Tribalism" however is a red herring because in tribal systems, society is confined to the tribe itself and interactions between tribes are, essentially, diplomacy. Once society expands past a tribe, we usually use the term "nepotism" (or "networking" if you want a positive spin). | null | null | 41,786,518 | 41,785,265 | null | null | null | null |

41,807,765 | comment | Etheryte | 2024-10-11T09:17:36 | null | Thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciate it. What I've seen from the 24h studies I've is very similar to what you describe, BP is highly variable throughout the day and nearly everything you do (or don't do) has an influence on it. One saving grace, if you can call it that, is that BP responds extremely well to medication. I take a small pill every morning and my doc says so long I keep it up, I've nullified all related health risk since my BP is now in a good range. So something to consider if, like me, you never find an underlying reason. | null | null | 41,803,147 | 41,799,324 | null | null | null | null |

If they ever bothered writing typed Python for a little bit, especially in new packages or projects where the surrounding code is also typed, they might realise how useful it is.<p>There's a world of difference between the experience you get with untyped Python and typed Python that you check with strict mypy or Pyright. After using typed Python for a while, I don't think I could go back to a completely untyped codebase. | null | null | 41,807,605 | 41,801,415 | null | null | null | null |

41,807,772 | comment | 0xEF | 2024-10-11T09:19:06 | null | I think you are ignoring a massive driving factor in both medicine and psychology; they are businesses.<p>Both fields, scientific as they often try to be, are subject to the sway of funding and profits more-so than other sciences like physics (as an example). Vague and often unsupported claims sell medical and mental health products, making it a profitable venture whether the product actually works or not.<p>I say this as a former student of psych, degree and all. The mental health industry has exploded in the last ten years or so, yet not much new thinking has been brought to the table at all. It's a lot of old standards being repackaged as a revolutionary solution (looking at you CBT) but being sold as mobile apps, hooking people with hope for relief in the form of a convenient, easy-to-use package, the same way medicine does when they add a bit of caffeine to acetaminophen and call it a solution for migraines that you don't have to visit a doctor to obtain. Once a field is driven by profit growth, it becomes this twisted, ersatz version of it's former self and this works because people are so desperate, they'll buy into just about anything you offer that might make them feel slightly better. | null | null | 41,806,766 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

41,807,791 | comment | vineyardmike | 2024-10-11T09:21:13 | null | Your presented alternative is basically the same thing with named step outputs. I don’t see how chaining is something crazy or problematic in comparison. The only difference is chaining reduces syntactic “noise”. It’s easier to read.<p>One-time use variables that are consumed on the next line aren’t valuable. Chaining exists as a widely used pattern because it’s useful to not generate a ton of intermediary variables.<p>In fact, the typing point you bring up is actually less clear. In the iterator chain, the type is “iterator”, which is a standard type that can be produced from many sources as business requirements change. In your example, the types need be compared to the function parameters and methods need to be written explicitly use the same types. | null | null | 41,807,320 | 41,769,275 | null | null | null | null |

41,807,795 | comment | graemep | 2024-10-11T09:21:40 | null | Not just the US though. It is also true in the UK (maybe not as bad - yet) but we have the polarisation. The hatred of the other side is more on-sided here - its more a characteristic of the "left": you hear "I hate Tories" rather than "I hate Labour voters" or even "I hate socialists" (nor did you even before socialism died). It seems to be the same in other Anglophone countries.<p>There has also been a shift in the focus of politics away from economic policy and the running of government services (as was very much the case in the UK up to the 1980s) to social issues as a result of a centrist consensus on what were important issues - disagreement about them is now purely theoretical and off the table in terms of what might actually change.<p>It think the problem has also been inadvertently illustrated by people in the comments discussing specific American culture war issues with a great deal of anger.<p>An aspect of this is the lack of willingness to compromise. Take abortion. It is much less of an issue in most of Europe because it is allowed, but with short term limits. It means many of the arguments for it are not relevant, but it also undermines many of the arguments against it because of lack of functioning brain tissue, or the state of development comparable to a premature baby. Anglophone countries are much more all or nothing - long term limits or not allow at all.<p>We also do not (even in the UK) have the American alignment of party politics with social issues. Can you imagine the Republicans being the party that allowed same sex marriage?<p>I think the moving of discussion online has primed people to be more aggressive about their views in general. I was thinking the other day about the people I know IRL who have blocked me on FB: my ex, a friend of hers, one of my ex's sisters (emigrated to the US and is a stereotype Trump supporter, stolen election theory etc.), a creationist (also my ex's sister, a nice person who keeps in touch with me, but does not like my comments on her FB posts), and a remainer/rejoiner. | null | null | 41,805,937 | 41,804,460 | null | [

41,807,796 | comment | rightbyte | 2024-10-11T09:21:49 | null | > And being able to say, "I disagree, and discussing it further won't change my mind" is important.<p>'Agree to disagree' is just an opt out. At that point there usually isn't any agreement upon what is disagreed upon in the first place. It is a debate evasion.<p>It is usually more honest to say 'I don't want you to convince me or the audiance otherwise'.<p>But ye there is some endurance limit the discussion need to respect. My point is that 'agree to disagree' is way overused. | null | null | 41,804,928 | 41,804,460 | null | [
