I don't think so. Python is battery included, and most packages in the Python ecosystem are not as scattered as npm packages. The number of packages in a typical Python project is much smaller than a Nodejs project. I think that's the reason why people are still happy with simple tools like pip and requirements.txt.

Yeah, but for non-tech companies, like Nike/Adidas as mentioned in other comments, they will need this kind of bot-detection services.

AFAIK, you can only buy 2 smallest nodes with $10 on Linode, how do you create a k8s cluster with that?

My biggest complaint about Medium is the anti-spam policy. I know it's essential for you to take some measures against spammers or crawlers, but I live in China, where Medium is blocked by the Great Firewall, the only way for me to access your site is to use a proxy. At least, it should not stop me from accessing the site when I was already logged in or I was a paying user.

I'm a podman user, but I'm also a paid DockerHub user. Podman and docker's business model actually do not conflict, IMHO.

Jobs might just leave China.

That what I do on a daily basis, so far so good, I haven't been seized by the police for what I published outside of the Great Fire Wall.

Posting English content on a US based platform is safe for me. I'm glad that I didn't skip all the English classes when I was a kid. :P

However, I WAS asked to report to the police station once for cursing Xi himself in Chinese on Weibo. A lot of words have been banned or censored, such as Winnie the Pooh, just because someone jokes that Xi looks like it. It's indeed very oppressive and scary for anyone who is even only slightly curious about politics in China. Looks like Cultural Revolution 2.0 is about to be generally available.

Unfortunately, for people living in China, such as me, the only reasonable ways, under Xi's reign, are either to start a rebellion or to go abroad. Actually, the term "Run-ology"(润学), which basically means the study of running away, has been quite popular in China for some time. My current plan is to find a new job in a western country, hopefully.

I used to think that my country was just an authoritarianism state and things would get better, but now I know that it's simply dictatorship. I feel so sorry about what's going on in the land I love so much.

Although I don't like dictatorship, they do have a stable process in doing this through at least 3 administrations.

That's exactly the reason why I choose SWR over ReactQuery.

Brilliant idea. Most startups or side projects won't reach the day when a single 448vCPU machine is not enough to handle their traffic.

You know what, I'm a native Chinese living in Beijing now. On some Chinese websites, such as Zhihu, the Chinese version of Quora, I saw a lot of people calling others names. Those who support Russia call the other ones American spies or Taiwan spies, those who support Ukraine call the opposites "yellow Russians".

I was thinking that people on Hacker News would be a little more reasonable, since it's "hacker" news. Yet, I see you are calling each other "Communist bots" and "CIA bots"... What a day.

Search.

In the past, Google just works. Nowadays, Google must be used with uBlacklist or something like that to yield decent results.

If there are anyone who do care about Chinese workers, pleas stop using TikTok, because programmers in ByteDance are really the one working around the clock like slaves. Just check out the 996.icu project, which ranks as #1 on GitHub.

It's not that the Communist Party ties itself to unifying China. It's the culture. It's because that the only way to claiming yourself a legitimate Chinese government is to become the conquerer of all China. All dynasties who did not have reign over every parts of China, like Jin and Song, are considered shames in history by the Chinese people.

There is nothing to do with the Communist ideology or any particular party or people. If it were KMT on the mainland and Communist Party on Taiwan, they would do the same.

Because you are using "Qing" -- A Chinese pinyin word to refer to that dynasty?

Good choice for using llhttp, I was always wondering why everyone in the python world keeps ignoring llhttp since it's so much faster than any others. I hope to see some http client lib using llhttp.

I doubt that, the project name is FastWSGI, not FastASGI.

The Python standard library should really include a TOML parser when the PSF try to enforce the `pyproject.toml` standard.

It's disgusting that I saw a captcha instead of video on the front page. Please consider not to use vimeo

For myself, better code completion is enough to lure me into the world of fully type-annotated python. I don't understand what you mean by saying "cargo cult", please enlighten me.

When I was in ByteDance, it was used extensively to deduplicate news articles.

The name should be oldOS, not OldOS.

> Internet companies can go west but not east.

Also native Chinese here. I do not quite agree with your view on that. Yes, Facebook and Google were censored in China, but were eBay and Amazon blocked in China? Neither of them found a way to do business well in the China market.

I'm totally against censorship, too. But blaming all things on the GFW is unreasonable to me. I think the reason here is that most educated Chinese people CAN speak, or at least read, simple English, while very few western people can speak Chinese. Getting into a market that speaks a language you understand is much easier than getting into a market with different language.

Everything invented in the silicon valley will be shared and discussed in Beijing/Shanghai/Shenzhen in almost no time. There are even Weibo accounts just reposting HN headlines, arxiv papers, etc. Each of these accounts has a huge amount of followers. How many westerns can read Chinese and know what is happening right now in China? China is far behind the western world when it comes to science and technology, but with a 1.4 billion population, I'm sure there are a few great ideas. However, westerners are hard to get them not because of the "closeness" of the east, but for the language barriers.

When I see a technical post on HN, the comments are always meaningful and profound. But the comments in political posts are often too simple, sometimes even naïve. I wish we could think as hard as we do when discuss the newest technologies.

Because 99 percent* of PDF is A4 sized.

* From my observation and guess.

This is gold. I have seen a lot of "cool" startups that failed, and "not-so-cool" startups which do the dirty work for their customers so that their customer don't have to succeeded.

Both.

It's interesting to see people treat other people's comments as propaganda just because they are expressing a different view.
