Indeed, it’s not solely about performance. Other nonfunctionals like
usability and security matter too. If comparing (pure) Python and C,
Python can be developed much faster and eliminates whole categories of
vulnerability, but performance will generally be lower.

At work:

- We prototype new algorithms in Python. Runtime performance is
  irrelevant and using a high-level language gets a lot of
  implementation detail out of the way. The Python implementations are
  useful for exploration/study and later to generate test vectors for
  the production implementations.

- Production algorithm implementations are mostly in C. (I’d rather
  migrate to something safer but migration is a gigantic pain...)

- Particularly performance-sensitive algorithms are additionally
  implemented in FPGA, which beats the C versions by a large factor.

Our target is an embedded device, the application CPU is quite slow
compared to a modern desktop or server CPU. We also have much lower
power budget than a general-purpose computer.

[...snip...]

Agreed.  The MILSPEC for telecommunications back when
I was doing that was "secure, reliable, rapid".

I think that applies to data processing in general.

Meanwhile, "Mr. Speed" runs with all the security
mitigations turned off in his kernel.  Also turns off
stack-smashing protections when compiling his Gentoo
goodies.  More power to him, I guess...but I'm pretty
sure most people wouldn't do that.

No it does not.

Telecommunications is an entirely different situation
that demands security but other areas of "data processing"
simply do not.

Let's not stop with "stack smashing."  There are oodles
of other unnecessary security "features" built in to
distro software.  Let's just consider a few:

-mindirect-branch=keep -mfunction-return=keep

This means keep your fucking hands off of my function calls,
jumps, and function return values.

-fcf-protection=none

This means do not "instrument" my fucking code for your 
security theater purposes.

-Wl,-z,norelro

This means don't do that stupid "relocation read-only" shit.
Just load the goddamned file "as is" and be done with it.

"Most people" wouldn't do anything.  "Most people,"
like you, just swallow what their distro gives them
without question.

Ignorance is bliss, and YOU must be ecstatic.

Is this fellow (Diego) the same as Farley Flud? Or is the linux.rocks at

Same. Looking through my Score file, Nux Vomica, Farley Flud, Diego 
Garcia, Lester Thorpe, Xavier Dominica, and Xavier Jones are the same 
critter.  Once it a blue moon he (I assume) posts something worthwhile but 
then it's more of the same and back into the bozo bin for a month.

You shouldn't wonder any longer. There is no doubt about that. Sometimes
he's answering his own messages with other pseudos but that changes
nothing: he's the same guy.

He's well known on cola where he doesn't even try to hide that.

Yes. And the same as Fabian RUSSEL and the same as LARRY PIET and the
same as a lot of others I don't remember all.

How about in a second or two?  The starting point is

The JSON response is processed to get the grid id necessary to build a URL 
for the current observations, and to extract the URL for the forecast.  
THE JSON responses are processed and the relevant data is printed. It is 
46 lines of Python including white space. Feel free to do it in C.

   Keep getting "invalid point"  :-)

   At present I grab/micro-parse some more
   conventional weather sites for at least
   my local area. It's part of my rotating
   security-cam pages I have running on at
   least two PIs.

   Getting harder to find weather radar loops
   in GIF anymore alas ...

Try 

https://api.weather.gov/points/42.934,-90.567

wherever the hell that is. You're in the western hemisphere and longitudes 
are negative.

The browser should show the JSON formatted so you can grab the 'forecast' 
URL

https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/ARX/88,22/forecast

and get the daily forecasts. Doesn't look like paradise. Curiosity got the 
better of me -- it's Left Moose Nut, Wisconsin.

   That works ... but change the coords a bit and
   it won't. Seems it only knows a handful of
   locations.

   In USA, the most useful sites seem to revolve
   around 'aviation weather' and center on certain
   airports, typically a 3-letter abbreviation.
   Immediate and some forecast data can be had - but
   you'll badly want Python to slice and dice and
   search that out of the html  :-)

   Ten years ago it was much easier to find comma/tab delim
   tables of current/recent weather data. Now it's almost only
   html or, worse, requires JS to build-up a page that's
   impossible to get/parse. Not sure if it's just "newer
   stupider people" or some PLAN. Anyway, now, your best
   bets are obscure 2nd/3rd-line 'government' sites that
   haven't changed anything since forever.

   SOMEWHERE I have a link to US airport-related weather
   that includes a more easily-parsed tab-delim table
   which includes current and the past 24 hours temps,
   pressures, humidity etc. Used it at The Office before
   I retired for a multi-info display nobody, typically,
   appreciated (complex TK touch-sensitive of cams/environment
   and even a scrolling news feed at the bottom) all on PI.
   Gotta search all the shit I took home .......

   TK ... once created/destroyed windows as-needed ... but
   soon found it better to just keep them open and position
   off-screen until needed again. Easier, quicker, cleaner.

I picked that at random.

https://api.weather.gov/points/36.934,-72.567
Chincoteague, VA

https://api.weather.gov/points/40.934,-94.567
Lenox, IA

https://api.weather.gov/points/36.934,-84.567
Burnside KY

https://api.weather.gov/points/58.114,-134.666
Juneau, AK

https://api.weather.gov/points/38.114,-134.666
no data, but it's 886 km off the coast of northern California.

https://api.weather.gov/points/19.66,-156.012
Kailua, HI

You do have to pick points in the US. 

https://api.weather.gov/points/51.130,-114.218
is Calgary AB and no data.

   My experience ... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

   Used GM to get coords dead center of my local airport and
   it does work. However it's a page of links that contain
   more links that contain more (or self-referent) links.
   Not sure yet WHAT is the forecast (hopefully table) or
   even the current readings. Will keep looking.

   Oh, DID find my old app that got weather info. It was
   about seven years old and, naturally, the links don't
   do anything useful anymore. Bummer - it WAS good easy
   tabular data easy to parse.

   Have to find SOME plan for pages that do naught but
   run JS to build visible pages/tables. This is getting
   kind of severe now.

   Gimme a link to a nice clean CSV file any day !
