hijacking this discussion to raise the banner of seamless interoperability between numba (quick numerical code) and pypy (quick algorithmic code + business logic). My dream python is pypy+mypy+numba. …

As an Apple customer I'm 100% happy with public developments like this. I really believe Apple tries to take hardware security seriously and an exploit it the open like this is surely to be add…

Great news! Congrats (and thank you) to the team! Is there any chance for Pypy to work with Numba, especially with HPy coming? Yes, they're both JIT compilers, but I feel like the kind of optimiz…

Have you checked examine.com? You can search for specific compounds and I think they have a (paid) supplement on nootropics

> In order to build a sustainable business that can continue to innovate and improve our products, Mimestream will eventually transition to being a paid app. Come on, they're explicitly saying…

OTOH emacs is used by a lot of people with access to sensitive data and/or industrial secrets, so the potential for malicious exploits is disproportional to its footprint

People compare type checkers with guard rails. In this regard, programming in SML is more like taking the subway :)

I know we all know that polygraphs don't work, but: is that true in practice or in principle? I mean, there are papers out there about methods capable of extracting complete words from brainwaves…

You know, what's funny is that we'll never be sure if that's the case[0]. What guarantee is there that the median socialist voter wouldn't vote for more work for everyone because t…

> AGPL is unchallenged in court What would be the cheapest way to settle this? Can I found a SaaS company that uses AGPL code, grow to ~100 usd/month and basically ask the FSF to sue me? Even …

"You Need to Learn Mandarin" is needlessly inflammatory, but yes, I would like to learn Mandarin, actually. English is not my first language, but having learned it allows me to consume con…

I feel like this article wasted an opportunity to discuss the seemingly larger trend - the splintering of the Internet - and focused too much on the (current) landscape for India (in contrast with US&…

That's really interesting, excited to follow the project and see more!

I understand where you're coming from, and while I do understand the value of institutionalized "debating and dissenting" parties (I even believe political parties in a democracy should…

> This article is just more propaganda in the evolving war of words between SV and journalism. There's no war between SV and journalism, theres a feud between technologically and business savv…

Wouldn't a move to renewable / greener energy sources (I realize that in Europe oil is used in transportation and heating mostly instead of direct electricity generation) remove the necessar…

There's no paradox here. The balkanization of the web is a foregone conclusion. And not just between geopolitical rivals: the EU is dead set on creating a local version of FAANG companies.

Yeah, it seems like an anti-pattern. Also, it's supposedly better for children to be educated by a great educator and most parents, like most people, are not. The fact of the matter is that the i…

This is great. I'm currently trying to rewrite a heavily object-oriented library into a more functional one (the rewrite is necessary because of licensing issues, and functional because the origi…

GP's point (which I believe is naive, I suspect foul play from competitors, especially big banks) is that FB was trying to corner the market through network effects before an open standard took h…

So, from the comments, it's not a real action plan, more like a scenario for case analysis. Which is a shame. I'd really like to read about how well blockchain technology -- which is based o…

"Maxinator", "Five Eyes" Imagine being in the brainstorming session to come up with name for intelligence agencies alliances. "It must sound dangerous, yes, but not evil. Like…

I'm trying to imagine the kind of org that uses MongoDB and has someone on the ethical board with enough technical knowledge to understand the difference between sql and nosql and at the same tim…

Good news. Pypy is criminally underrated

I don't pirate, nowadays mostly because I already have a couple of subscriptions and not enough time to consume all the content I already can. But for me the answer is fairly obvious: availabilit…

For what it's worth, I keep everything in a single deck. I never stop reviewing stuff and "interleaving" makes learning more effective than "blocking" (studying things in bloc…

I've read a few posts about how this standard is sufficient for GDPR compliance (and other regional regulations, like Brazil's LGPD). Might be useful to the HN crowd.

Aging is a multidimensional process and if "lack of adaption" is targeted the same way "control of bowels" will be/is, then it makes sense to include this concern in anti-agin…
