Common python strings are interned to speed things up as well. Maybe this way of interning could benefit cpython.

I always wondered how telegram could afford being free. A chat is expensive to run, a chat with gigantic media quotas even more, and they don't have ads. There is no way their premium plan cover their cost, espacially with their extens

With wechat in china, pix in south america and wero in europe, I think it's quite the opposite. All continents want to see visa and mastercard dead so they can bring back those transaction fees in house and it will work as the phone is

For me, claudism is Americanism. Overly friendly despite having a very superficial relationship, careful to be as neutral as possible when giving negative feedback or opinion, superlative on mildly interesting things to make it sound exciti

Two things can be true. And clearly, you think billion-dollar companies making dark patterns, ignoring web standards and choosing to track people left and right are less to blame the inconvenience of a banner (that warns you they do) than t

No need for a conspiracy. There was the DNT standard, companies made more money from not taking it into consideration. That's it. They chose the annoying banners, then they chose dark patterns on those banners. It is a choice. At best

It's another one, I actually didn't know about this one. Saving.

There is 15 years of documentation of this. This is explained in countless threads in HN. I'm tired boss.

Because if enough idiots do it, stupid managers think it's the standard. The EU Commission is unlikely to know anything about their website, it's made by some department that blindly follows a manager's order that just looked

I did, but that doesn't change AT ALL my initial point. People still buy HP printers. It's still a popular brand.

If illegal actions are just reverted and compensated by a fine, then they are just legal for a fee

Oh no, I remember well. At some point, everyone at the software home button on their phone setup, because the physical button was sometimes working and sometimes not. Apple issued a statement saying it was a hardware failure and there was n

The GDPR does not say that controllers must always delete personal data on request. Article 17(1)(a) — erasure is required only when: "the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected

And consumers will cry about it for about 5 minutes, then go back to reward the company. When HP started making printer cartridges that expired even when they were still full, people complained—then bought more. When Microsoft let the web s

And it's a damn shame because we have awesome hosting in the EU. OVH is great value, Scaleway can handle lots of traffic, hetzner is so cheap... So it's "nobody gets fired to buy IBM" all over again.

It's not, not everything need to be a single word, because the world is full of nuances. Calling everything fascist, nazis, communists, etc. is making actual fascism, nazism and dictatorship more likely. Because you can't raise th

I actually opened a yandex mail account 15 years ago because, since I was going to be tracked, at least it would be from people who have no friendly contact with most gov entities and companies in my society. Sad.

We have, we just have much, much better conditions for food, hygiene, personnal safety and medicine. But have worse hormonal health (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7063751/), and are less fit (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti

It used to be the polite thing to disclose that you used a translation app. In fact, traditionally, you disclose when you translate anything so people know the context in which to interpret your text. In the same way, I wanna know if a book

For all its faults, this is one of the things the Python typing system gets right. It's dynamically introspectable at runtime, so you can define type, parsing and validation in one go with stuff like pydantic.

I had one machine on my entire client's network that could never download a LibreOffice document without it being corrupted. Turns out it was kaspersky intercepting network calls, and deciding it was a very dangerous piece of file, and

Why would they treat it as toxic? They don't have a moral code, and they don't pay any price for mistakes. They have zero incentive.

Maybe ES' companies gave they a contract stating they assume all the risks and take not a cent unless they succeed, including reparation on failure, just to win the market.

I think your title is as mature as people using $ in microsoft name in the 9O's. And I'm pretty anti microsoft, don't like google, and hate having AI shoved everywhere. But this is lazy, and doesn't help debating the tec

I refused an interview from google in 2010ish, because it was already dubious with all the tracking and advertising they were doing, as well as the rising censorship. So if you decided to go in 2017 with all that happened since, your moral
