Curve looks a lot like total Hacker News volume but with a bigger spike in the last year. Would be interesting to see this adjusted relative to average content volume
Fun project and well executed. It would be cool if it had the option to adjust for relative volume.
For example, a search for “iPhone” dips around 2025, but did interest in it decline or were there just fewer comments on Hacker News that year (based on searches for generic words like “the” or “is” I suspect it was actually the latter)?
There are thousands of billionaires that support both sides. But not with mega donations. For example, 450M that Zuck donated on the previous election. I think Musk donated ~150M this election but that's all anyone would talk about.
When I talk about support, I'm talking about big financial support, not just "hey, I voted".
That doesn't count slanted media coverage, censorship on facebook, Twitter, that you really can't even put a price on.
The trip from Tokyo to Kyoto goes through several cities that have >200k people living in them, several of them being larger than Sacramento. Your point about Tokyo -> Kyoto doesn't change the previous issue of economics of trains due to lack of density.
Stops (and Population) on Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto:
Yokohama: 3mm+
Odawara: 200k+
Hamamatsu: 700k+
Shizuoka: 600k+
Nagoya: 2mm+
I mean, it depends on what you mean by “type”. A list of some Protocol type (what other languages call “interfaces”) is still a homogenous list even though the concrete types are heterogeneous. This is almost always what you want when you’re thinking of “a heterogeneous list”.
Yeah, that's a better way of putting it :) 90% of the time, I'm something like Sequence[T], but I'm sure I've used Sequence[Optional[T]] a couple of times. I mean, I could drive donuts in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot at 3a, I just don't, and the same for heterogenous lists.
I’ll second that. I’ve been doing python for a while and haven’t used the mixed type list. I’ve actively avoided doing something like that. The situation doesn’t come up often.
I just use an extension wrapper around boost::property_tree for my json (and xml) needs. Way faster than the built in json support and does automagic type conversion so I don’t have to worry about it.
Now, I’m not running at Web Scale™ but pure python was slow enough to be annoying.
The new error messages are much better. Take a look at this example:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calculation.py", line 54, in <module>
result = (x / y / z) * (a / b / c)
~~~~~~^~~
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
In this new version it's now obvious which variable is causing the 'division by zero' error.
For a lot of folks dealing with getting something working, its way more useful to have the most likely spot where the error is occurring spit out for them like this.
Stack trace is useful, especially in understanding how the code is working in the system.
But if the goal is solve the problem with the code you've been working on, existing traces are way too verbose and if anything add noise or distract from getting to productive again.
I could see tracebacks get swifty terminal UI that shows only the pinpointed error point that can be accordion'd out to show the rest.
Oh please. We have multiple vaccines that have all been demonstrated to be safe and highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID in multiple studies.
Ivermectin has had decidedly mixed results in very limited early trials, and may not be effective at treating COVID at all.
The only reason people are taking ivermectin when safe, effective, and FREE vaccines are available is because of politics.
I am vaccinated and am not planning to get ivermectin. Your aggressive response seems to assume I have a stake in this. My only stake is that one side seems to think only their favored authorities are allowed to exercise free will, ultimately. These are the same authorities that have been MASSIVELY wrong throughout the pandemic on multiple fronts. I favor decentralization and competing ideas/choices as a way to run a free and just society. From my perspective, the only reason people are against ivermectin is because any deviation from a one size fits all approach undermines the broad lurch towards collectivist control that has been taking place, particularly in American politics. You could say that it is political for both sides of this issue, and I would say that’s fair. But only one solution let’s people live freely, which is individuals making their own choices and voluntarily interacting with others to support those choices.

Since these are non-sterilizing vaccines without nasal/mucosal immunity, i.e. they do not prevent infection or transmission, there is still benefit in early treatment for vaccinated people who become infected. There are multiple therapeutic options available, including monoclonal antibodies being distributed by some states.
These jobs almost certainly also want someone who is clean and reliable.
If you are homeless, you might not have access to a shower or laundry facilities. You might have to rely on public transit (which is unreliable in many American cities), or you might not be able to afford public transit, so it might be hard to arrive on time. All of which will put you at a strong disadvantage compared to any other applicant.
If you do go to a job interview you might have to leave all your positions in the street where without you watching over them, they could be stolen. If you have a pet or a child, there might not be anyone trustworthy willing to take care of them while you are away.
If you pass the first round of interviews, you might need a phone number where they can call you for a follow up. But what happens if you can't afford a phone plan? Or if you have a phone, but don't have easy access to a location where you can charge it?
Finally day after day of living on the street, having very poor nutrition, not getting enough quality sleep, dealing with extreme stress, can all cause mental health issues.
There are lots of obstacles to getting a job when you are homeless. And the longer you go without a job, the harder it is to get a new job.
