A Google Cloud incident ongoing: https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/21...

I've been fine-tuning my forest for way too long and here's what I came up with:

    {
      "0": [
        "CountAdjacentChance eq 1 1 1 0.01",
        "CountAdjacentChance ge 1 2 1 0.03"
      ],
      "1": [
        "SpontaneousChange 2 0.00001",
        "ChangeByBlockAge gt 200 3 0.1",
        "CountAdjacentChance eq 2 1 2 0.4",
        "CountAdjacentChance eq 2 2 2 0.8",
        "CountAdjacentChance ge 2 3 2 1.0"
      ],
      "2": [
        "SpontaneousChange 3 1"
      ],
      "3": [
        "SpontaneousChange 0 0.25"
      ],
      "InitialCondition": "1 0.0005",
      "colorMap": {
        "0": "black",
        "1": "green",
        "2": "red",
        "3": "brown"
      },
      "timeStep": 30
    }

I hate you. I've just spent there way more time than I'd want to admit

This article seems to miss one important point: how to ensure that links are added correctly and enough). In the wiki scheme, when you just dump info about a problem on a page, how do you now find pages where you need to link to this new page? If you solve this, you have just solved the main problem with the tree system. And I believe that it's actually easier to find related places in the tree-ish structure, than if there is seemingly infinite amount of free-floating articles.

And Wikipedia has a tree-ish structure too, after all - look at portals, categories etc

Yes, that's exactly my experience with Emacs - I read their tutorial to do basic tasks (open files, open windows, switch windows, basic replace). Also, I never learned to use their "smart" (?) terminal, python console...

Otoh, then I tried Pycharm community, and eventually redeemed my github student pack for free pro version, and now I can't imagine living without it. Also there's a great plugin that annoys you with small non-modal popup in LB corner whenever you use mouse and reminds you of the correct hotkey

There's also Moscow, Idaho somewhere in there

Yes, and this is even more relevant now in the pandemic. Many countries have agreed to ensure access to COVID vaccines for third world, yet they are still getting pretty much none, while Europe is already full of scandals with celebrities and rich people skipping priority lines and getting vaccinated

to be fair - this cool, but the heavy lifting part is actually the interesting one

This sounds a bit like a GUI application, so containers would bring their own problems. Also you again force end user install docker etc

Yes, this. Actually I first shared it here, because I thought that's cool and could work quite cleanly since mypy works well, but when I actually tried compiling one of my Advent of Code solutions with it, what i got was goto stuffed mess. I know I can't expect nice C code, but i certainly didn't expect gotos.

As for the performance gain - 13.5 s with Python, 9 s compiled. It was a naive implementation of AoC 2020/23, so a lot of array cutting, concatenation etc. So this isn't really math, rather lot of RAM I/O

What's an example of this?

What would be the point of localstorage if JS couldn't access it? Cookies can be set and get via http headers, but is localstorage available by other means than JS?

you actually lose some because you pay taxes, don't you?

Cool! Is there some write-up on how did using hotwire turn out? I personally don't think it's a very good concept, but I'm curious what people who actually use it have to say

Did we just automate automation

Yeah, Czechia is full of surprising moments. I remember my classmate bringing knife that could reliably kill somebody to school and spreading butter on his bread with it. The teachers noticed, made some stupid joke about it, and continued lecturing.

hmm, the logs are valid point. what scenario are we addressing here then?

but the issuance time isn't relevant, they can easily backdate the cert

The thing is that we're not talking downtime here, but rather something in the CA compromised, which would mean that pretty much ANY website could be impersonated, as the attacker could issue a Let's Encrypt CA valid certificate for it. That is mitigated by invalidating this CA, but that also invalidates all legit certificates previously issued by them. So they need to reissue them all

hmm, so I would need to use some namespace class https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/types.html#types.SimpleN...

yeah, I would also expect the linters to catch this. has some way to allow use of non-dotted constants been considered? something like window.global_variable in JavaScript? Or would I need to do something like this:?

  NOT_FOUND = 404
  m = {"NOT_FOUND": NOT_FOUND}
  match value:
    case m["NOT_FOUND"]:
      pass

the note is likely truncated (there aren't contact details either)

It doesn't always have to be like this though. Look at Factorio – the devs are happy (looking from the outside, but they are always very enthusiastic about how they love the game), the community loves it (there are infinite remarks of people who sunk thousands of hours into this game, all for a single payment of 25 €), and they don't seem to have any financial issues either. I have not seen many disappointed people around Factorio (maybe that dev of the IR mod [1]).

Waiting to see the comments here. Did Musk just change his opinion, or go insane? Or could this happen without Musk's direct intervention?

I have no idea what this means, I love the visualizations though

what is the benefit of threadpool though? am I understanding it correctly that due to GIL, python will just keep switching the threads, so instead of running A then B both at 100% speed, both will run concurrently at 50% speed (+/- overhead)?

regarding the uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi image - is it really a good idea? you'll likely gain some other dependencies as the project grows, and having some dependencies in external docker image (the tiangolo's one pip installs fastapi + stuff), and some installed by your own means sounds like a lot of trouble headache quite soon... that's why I personally went with just python image, and installing everything from pipenv

this. I'm working on a project which will need to be deployed in a local network without internet access. deploying kafka is a nightmare, more so in docker or k8s. I ended up switching to other tech rather than undergo this

that would explain a lot, this tweet looks a LOT past the line what I would expect them to do.

though there's also this screenshot: https://twitter.com/555Sunny/status/1354854993946406917?s=20

can anyone confirm if this is actually happening or if this is what margin trades at robinhood look like?

What the hell is going on with the line breaks there? That's painful to read on mobile
