The article only states that the post was deliberately lowered in the rankings to reduce its visibility. "Is this true" ? What your explanation is hinting at, although you're not saying it outright, is that "Yes, that's true." The graph posted below speaks for itself.

Yes, that's true. The thread reached the top of Hacker News, then disappeared. I had to use HN Algolia to find it again.

Please don't assume your experience applies to everyone. If ChatGPT can't do what I want, my first reaction is to ask Claude for the same thing. Often to find out that Claude performs much better. I've already cancelled ChaptGPT Plus for exactly that reason.

Tourists expecting to form lasting connections with locals always made me laugh. How deep can these connections be if you're only staying for a month? Why would a local invest in a 'lasting' connection that's just for a month?

And in my experience, nesting f-strings and using quotes in f-strings is more useful than the GIL and faster start-up times, so YMMV.

Just tried the first prompt with ChatGPT... : "One kilogram of steel and two kilograms of feathers weigh the same. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, not the material it is made of. In this case, one kilogram is equal to two kilograms, so they have the same weight. However, it's important to note that the volume or size of the objects may be different due to the difference in density between steel and feathers."
Okay...

And in the "diseases wordlist", you have "chute des cheveux" and... "voyeuriste" (https://github.com/theophpo/medical-wordlist/blob/main/fr/di...). So, yeah, I didn't look any further but these word lists make no sense at all.
edit: and "chiasse" is also a disease it would seem (L480).

That's not entirely true, you can rollback a change on modern switches/routers, either via a rollback command, or with a revert timer (configure terminal revert timer X) (because the new configuration might have made the router unreachable, so you're never sure you'll be able to rollback manually if you're working remotely).

It is at least partially due to the education system: MPSI -> MP -> ENS Cachan / Lyon / Ulm. Very hard entrance exams to make sure they get the best students. Small promotion (IIRC around 40 students per year for ENS Ulm FIMFA) = homogeneous level.

You misunderstood my comment. I said it felt out of place *here*, in a video dedicated to her mathematical work, hosted on mathunion.org (the clue is in the URL). Doesn't mean she cannot talk about the war in general.
As for Marie Curie, I don't think they had Internet and 24-hour news channels back then. I don't need mathematicians to bring attention to the war in Ukraine when everyone is constantly talking about it already.
Re:Fields Medals 2022

I wasn't even thinking about that, but then I watched all videos, and in hers she spends more time talking about the war than she does talking about her work. I understand she's been affected but that feels out of place here.

what you don't understand is that FastAPI is not a web framework, so it is neither fast nor slow, it's just a patchwork of libraries on top of Starlette.

Re:Bulgaria Freelance Taxes: Detailed Breakdown
on Sunday January 09, 2022 @02:34PM (#29866572)
By paying yourself with a salary via your company, you'd pay 10% revenue tax + health insurance (ЗО) + social insurance (ДЗПО, ДОО)... except the insurance part is capped on a maximum revenue of 3000 BGN or something like that... so as you make more money, your total tax rate converges to 10%.
Take these numbers with a grain of salt because I'm no accountant, but I know for sure your accountant is wrong, because I know how much tax I pay, and that's close to 11.5% total.
Re:Bulgaria Freelance Taxes: Detailed Breakdown
on Sunday January 09, 2022 @09:52AM (#29863688)
The numbers in this article are wrong, especially the company vs individual chart: you'd only pay 16% tax with a company if you paid yourself in dividends.
Past a certain threshold, with a company, the best option is to pay yourself a salary every month. Then your tax rate will be in the 11 - 15% range depending on your income.
source: I've got a company in Bulgaria
conclusion: coming to Bulgaria to pay less taxes can definitely be done, but hire a local accountant and get professional advice.

they are not equivalent, and they couldn't be, shouldn't be, and won't be. Most engineering schools recruit after two years of highly theoretical education in mathematics and physics (classes préparatoires) and the level in mathematics and physics is much higher than the undergraduate level in the university.
You're being misled by the term "engineering school" which makes it sound like this is some practical / technical education, when it's in fact the exact opposite.

The french "engineering schools" are actually considered the elite scientific education in France. They are infinitely more selective than universities and provide much better job options. Equating french engineering school with US community college makes no sense whatsoever, and saying "a university graduate has more job options than a graduate from those other schools" is plain wrong (in France).

Re:PEP 563, PEP 649 and the future of pydantic and FastAPI
on Friday April 16, 2021 @05:04AM (#26831406)
Not sure what else they could say, when 95% of FastAPI features come directly from Starlette. Again, the code on github speak for itself.
As for the remaining 5%, that's basically pydantic and the swagger / openAPI stuff: questionably useful and very easily reimplemented if need be.
The way I see it, FastAPI stole much of the recognition Starlette deserved. I find it a bit sad. Starlette is where all the async magic happens.
Re:PEP 563, PEP 649 and the future of pydantic and FastAPI
on Thursday April 15, 2021 @10:23PM (#26828656)
FastAPI is just a rip off of Starlette, it's obvious when you look at the code (https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/blob/master/fastapi/temp..., https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/blob/master/fastapi/test..., etc). Hopefully this change will kill FastAPI and force people to use the original project that is Starlette (https://www.starlette.io/)
As to why people used FastAPI instead of Starlette in the first place, it comes down to hype and great marketing.
