Everyone on Twitter doesn't think they have ADHD. The algorithm probably put you in a bubble since you seem to engage with that kind of content.


I'm being a little hyperbolic. As far as the algorithm, I rarely see anything from anybody I don't follow, or that isn't retweet by them. I'll maybe make my statement more explicitly subjective: in my experience, heavily following people from Tech Twitter, there is a much greater representation of ADHD than is visible to me elsewhere in the world.


My guess is not by much. Text doesn't require a lot of storage. After looking at a few random files my estimate is that the size of the full compressed dump would be about 30x (~10 GB)


Not affiliated with the project, but just took a look at their readme. It literally lists how to install it on every single platform, how to launch it, what features it has, keyboard shotcuts and troubleshooting steps.

I thought it was a great readme. It is weird how you guys dismissed the whole thing just because the readme has emojis.


That marketing is clearly aimed at the self hosting crowd. Lots of self hosted apps don't have prebuilt docker images.


I remember that mozilla promised to open source the pocket backend and that went nowhere


There is an iOS app repo, though none for Android that I can find:

<https://github.com/Pocket/pocket-ios>

And nothing server-side either, which I suspect is what you're referring to.


How do you propose they do college admissions then?


Implement a foundational year, similar to the Ciclo Básico Común (CBC) in Argentina, my country, which all students must pass to move on to their chosen majors. This serves both as a basic foundation for all students and acts as a filter to manage the number of students who continue to the specific fields of study.

For some highly competitive fields, like medicine or law, an entrance exam is implemented. This isn't a comprehensive test like the SAT or ACT, it's specific to the field of study.


One extra year of study before beginning the major will be prohibitively expensive for the lower middle class and the poor people.


In my country's case, the colleges where the CBC is implemented are public and free for all students on the undergrad level (subsidized by taxes) and very affordable for masters/PhD.


The expense is the opportunity cost, the time spent not working for money.


Yes, that's what I meant.

People like us are blessed to not have to hustle to earn since we are 18 yos.

But I have seen, first hand, people dropping out of really good opportunities when they have the smallest chance to earn an income.


You can work and go to school at the same time.


Don't have a broken, monstrously expensive educational system?


It wouldn't need to require an extra year. The courses available in that first year could be general courses which apply to all majors.


That's a good solution, but works only for not-so-involved subjects?

If you want to study Physics, CS, etc., then, this will not possibly work.

Unless we make papers common to multiple majors.


Perhaps they could ask the other countries that don’t turn off the entire internet.


Germany has a mix of (semi) standardized tests with student performance over the last two (three) years. Additionally universities are usually very lenient on acceptance (at least in engineering/science), but very harsh on failing students. (Which is a much fairer system IMO)


Most countries are able to do standardized testing without shutting down the internet


How come rest of the world don’t block the internet during the college admissions?


You can use the docker compose cli directly since podman exposes the docker api

export "DOCKER_HOST=unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock"


Do they claim that existing python code would get a 10x bump? That sounds too good to be true


Why would you do this instead of just a comment? I feel like type hints only have value if they can be used by the tooling.


The comment has to go somewhere, and IME it makes the common path easy and less common paths not too hard. In particular, to use those functions correctly and understand what they're doing, you often really do just need their name and such an augmented type signature. Having all that information in one place rather than having to extract it out of a docstring (a docstring which might not be shown by default in your editor without additional keystrokes or mouse movements and scrolling), and being able to immediately glance to pieces that don't stick around in short-term memory is nice.

A comment would be fine too, especially if it's right next to the type signature, but to do that you'd need to add extra newlines, and the comment would be in roughly the same spot as the type hint, so I don't know that you gain much. Mypy doesn't really like strings used that way, but mypy isn't a great tool anyway, so c'est la vie?

If somebody just wanted to throw that in a docstring I wouldn't complain though. It's definitely more important that the information exist than that it be in a particular place.


This is essentially just a way for people from the Americas to legally work from Iceland for a few months.


Or Australians... or Malaysians... or Japanese...


Or Brits, presumably just the 75% that did not vote to reduce their right to live and work in dozens of countries


I voted to remain, but where does the 75% in your argument come from? I don't see it.


I'm guessing the 75% figure is a proportion of the entire population, not taking into account those who actually voted or were even eligible to vote.


17.4 million voted to remove their own rights

16.1 million voted to keep them

12.9 million didn't vote either way

19.1 million couldn't vote (including 6.5 million who can vote today)


Iceland is not in the EU either.


Iceland is in the EEA meaning EU citizens can work there without a permit for upto 3 months


No, being in EEA means EU citizens can _live_ there without working for up to 3 months, but after 3 months they need to be employed. It's the same rule as in the rest of EU countries.


Brits, Americans, and various other citizens can live there for 3 months fine.

For working though EU citizens can just rock up and get a job

"If you are a citizen from a state outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), or the Faroe Islands, you must obtain a residence and a work permit before working in Iceland. "

https://work.iceland.is/working/residence-permit/

"Who does not need a work permit

Certain foreign nationals are exempt from obtaining a temporary work permit. This includes citizens from countries within the European Economic Area, countries within the European Free Trade Agreement or from the Faroe Islands."

https://www.vinnumalastofnun.is/en/employer/work-permits/gen...

"Citizens of the following countries are exempt from applying for a work permit:"

https://www.vinnumalastofnun.is/en/employer/work-permits/lon...

"EU/EEA citizens do not need a residence and a work permit in Iceland and may stay in Iceland for up to three months without registering and moving domicile to Iceland. The relocation to Iceland is quite simple in terms of bureaucratic related issues for EU/EEA citizens.

EU/EEA citizen staying longer than three months an Icelandic ID number is needed and change of domicile is required."

Which I believe is the same as moving to an EU country. Certainly my parents had to register for things like EKA and some other things when they moved to Greece back in 2001. I suspect moving State in the US is similar (otherwise how would you know to pay state income tax?)

I could work fine in a bar in Greece during the summer without any of that as I was only there for a couple of months, and this was before my rights had been removed.

Compare the process with the UK

" All non-EU/EEA citizens require a residence- and a work permit in Iceland and need to apply through Iceland Directorate of Immigration (DOI). .... The Immigration Process

    Employment confirmed
    Welcome Center contacts the newly recruited employee.
    Employee accumulates required documents for immigration purposes and keeps the Welcome Center updated on the process.
    Employee sends all the required documents to Iceland, to the Welcome Center.
    Welcome Center submits the documents to the Directorate of Immigration and keeps the applicant updated on any developments.
    Welcome Center notifies the applicant of the accepted application and the preliminary issued permit.
    Employee applies for a D-visa to Iceland at a relevant embassy - if applicable, depends on citizenship.
    Welcome meeting upon arrival at the University of Iceland, Welcome Center.
    Employee registers formally into Iceland through Directorate of Immigration - appointment and a photoshoot.
    Employee undergoes a medical checkup - if applicable, depending on citizenship.
"

But at least Brits get to enjoy those brexit freedoms.
