> I see a lot of people using homebrew.

The major reason I don't use homebrew and don't recommend it is because it's an absolute pain to use a version manager due to where brew stores its binary files.

I don't use python very frequently, so I don't really think much about it much when installing. I'm pretty sure I installed it with anaconda, but can't remember. As I mentioned above I doubt I used brew for the same reason.

I typically only use brew for installing linux commands that are absent from osx or for one-off uses of something random. Looking at my brew list, it's things like phantomjs or rethinkdb. I'll uninstall them with brew and use their installer if I actually end up using them.
You nailed it with "on any package that I write that has third party dependencies anyway". On my recent package I was going for zero dependencies (at py3.7+) so I used the backport of dataclasses.

Ultimately, I threw out dataclasses too. But if I didn't need __repr__, __post_init__ and __slots__ with default values, I'd probably have just stuck with dataclasses :)
You're using premises. It's 2018. We only use feels now.
Some times yes there are companies that make bladed weapons for the military both for ceremonial and actual use.

And war hammers have a military context going back centuries and diy versions where used in trench warfare.
The response to that is in the article:

> While a Google spokesperson says the program is "scoped for non-offensive purposes," a letter signed by almost 4,000 Google employees took issue with this assurance, saying, "The technology is being built for the military, and once it's delivered, it could easily be used to assist in [lethal] tasks."

If the object and intent recognition is made fast enough, and is able to be sent to and from a drone in flight, then the technology can be re-purposed offensively, regardless of its initial purpose.
IIRC, original Recaptcha was about OCR of books that weren't readable. I'm not sure why anyone uses it right now. Like you said, it's obvious where it's going. Not to mention that it's increasingly annoying for users.
I believe your claim that

/bin/sh

is standardized is incorrect, though I don't know how many actual systems fail to have it present. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17069408 (I checked the 2018 version of the spec, and it says the same).
Yes, in the same way I'd argue for an abstinence-only education when it comes to repeatedly bashing your own head against the wall.

Do you think there is a moral difference between the person who carries a gun in the military and the person who designs it? It seems like whatever feelings, positive or negative, we have about military personnel should carry at least in part to weapons designers.
Yes, there are risks in all these activities, the problem with full-contact football, or hockey & lacrosse is that there is no way to be educated and consenting for an aspect that is inherent to the very nature of the activity, especially if you're a kid.

Up in Canada the pro-contact hockey crowd loves to talk about "teaching kids how to hit properly" which I'd suspect is a similar attitude to those coaching 5-yr-olds in full-pads football. But what does this mean? They seem to think that by addressing the technique of what is at it's a core a violent and damaging activity you can somehow mitigate the effects. I'm not buying it. Football is even worse; it's not the highlight reel tackles but the every single play collisions at the line that lead to long term, consistently demonstrated traumatic head injuries.

Frankly I feel that the NFL working to address the root causes of head injuries is like asking Facebook to take care of personal information and privacy protection. They are entirely incompatible.
"Personal attack" is a pretty big stretch here. The NSA is generally dismissive of academic cryptographers, and was dismissive here.
Seriously. The countries with terrible work conditions and poor records with humanitarian rights could care less about pumping trash into the ocean? That should shock nobody. Who are these apologists?
I second this, but, you will need some help initially. Follow the examples a few times - first with help, then without. Once you build your intuition, you will then be in a position to "invent" the maths as you go along.
Because it's a blast to play. And treating children like they are made of glass is a terrible way to raise them.
As someone who has no knowledge of the American version, I wonder if the actual play could just be simulated? For a noob, how much is skill on the players part Vs strategy?

>I suspect the best helmet for blunt impacts is probably a one/few-time use deal with crumple zones to absorb the energy of the impact and increase the time of the impact. After it's crumpled you would have to swap it out for a new helmet.

Bicycle and motorbike helmets already work like this. The energy-dissipative layer is made from expanded polystyrene foam, which permanently deforms and fractures on impact. The downside is that they're a one-shot item - once a helmet has taken an impact, it loses integrity and should be disposed of.

Helmets for football and hockey use a polypropylene foam, which doesn't absorb as much energy but will withstand multiple impacts. Polystyrene foam would be impractical at best for these helmets. There is often no visible evidence that a polystyrene helmet liner has been structurally compromised, so a player or coach has no way of checking that the helmet is still providing useful protection. If the helmet isn't replaced after every impact, then it might be offering less protection in practice than a polyurethane helmet.

The real villain here isn't the blunt force of a linear impact, but the rotation of the brain within the skull. This causes deep structural damage in the lower parts of the brain. Dealing with these forces is far more challenging, but I suspect that there are significant gains to be made with respect to the shape and structure of the wire face shield. The smooth plastic of the helmet's shell tends to produce glancing impacts with minimal rotation, but the face shield can snag and create horrendous rotational forces.

His daughter, Alexandra Wolfe, did write a book about SV called "Valley of the Gods":

https://www.amazon.com/Valley-Gods-Silicon-Story/dp/15011470...

I haven't read it, but I subscribe to author Ryan Holiday's reading list email newsletter and he had this to say when the book came out:

"A nice new read about the Silicon Valley written by Wall Street Journal reporter (and Tom Wolfe's daughter). It's more pleasant and less cynical than Chaos Monkeys but probably a little more naive too. I was interested in the fate of the various Thiel Fellows since I've met a few of them over the years and was a college dropout myself. Wolfe makes the point that dropping out or getting one of these fellowships has become just as much of a 'track' as the Ivy League these days. Anyway, some great sentences in this book. Not sure how it will stand up over time but was worth a couple hours of my time."

When breaking a pipe into two lines, I find it cleaner to end the first line with pipe instead of backslash. Then I indent the second line. Bash knows a command cannot end with pipe, therefore it's syntactically ok.

E.g.

cmd1 |
cmd2

Instead of:

cmd1 \
| cmd2
What's more, ride hailing drivers aren't even employees to begin with in most jurisdictions, and in many cases, the drivers working with one ride hailing company actually also work with the other(s).
I figured; you clearly knew enough bash to know what the real backticks are. Those... frontticks?... aren't even on most keyboards.

On the plus side, when I fixed the typographical issues, it did work. I'm pretty sure I could do this more-or-less first-time right in Python, too, but it clearly took me longer to get there.

Don't they already do this? Heard comments about being 'shadowbanned' on Twitter for years, and it seems like something similar is being used on the platform right now.

That said, given their current practices for shadow banning range from politically biased (note how more often it is that a right wing troll gets banned compared to the left wing one) or broken (seen both innocent accounts banned and people banned for using the word 'thanks' in a Tweet), this seems like a bad idea all round.
3Blue1Brown (Grant Sanderson) is really, really good. I follow a number of education channels on YouTube, and Grant blows them all out of the water for the kind of insights, new perspectives, and inspiration he provides. His animations are fantastically put together to clearly and unobtrusively illustrate the point he's making. I also really like his voice, soothing, clear and with enough intonation to avoid boredom, and perfect pace. I wish I had his linear algebra series back in college, I suspect I would have done much better.

For the programmers in the house, it would be like claiming you can code python if you’ve never coded before but watched some videos of expert teachers explaining the structure of python programming.

I often see people here on HN saying classroom lectures are more important than homework. But in my experience the real intuitive learning (at least for math and physics) doesn’t come until you’ve spent some time banging your head trying to figure things out solving problems (ie, applying the theory).

One text (Wangsness E&M maybe) had a great student quote, roughly “I understand the principles but I can’t do the problems.”
A man was killed in Tulsa by a wealthy “volunteer” deputy. This is all part of a larger problem of police accountability and training more than gun laws.
That model is actually very close to what I'm looking for. I'd prefer for it to be digital but would be open to other mediums. I do worry a little that one newspaper would leave me with blind spots / the same context problems but I've honestly never consumed news that way so I don't know.

I wonder if Sunday papers are still a summary of the weeks news or if they assume some prior knowledge.
If you need Python 2.7 support after 2020, consider asking a consulting company to provide it for you.

Python is maintained by volunteers. Providing support for more than 10 years is more than enough in my opinion. The community has moved on to 3, but I'm sure there will be companies doing consulting and fixing 2.x bugs for a fee.

Data Classes are a cool feature, useful, and a superior alternative to namedtuple.

But while this was brewing, attrs ate their lunch. Data Classes just don't go far enough compared to what attrs [1] has provided for a while now. If there's a compelling reason to switch, I haven't found it yet.

Can I use Data Classes in a library supporting Python 2.7, 3.4-3.7? I don't think the answer is yes today.

I agree with you as well. I truly believe that the military is for the "defense" of the U.S. Sometimes though a good defense can be a good offense. But by and large I think the 17 years spent in the middle east has been wasteful and largely unproductive. Having said that, there is a number of girls for example who are able to study past elementary school who would have never had the chance to. So maybe not all is wasted?

I think we should have gone down there after 9/11 and punished (killed) everyone that remotely as affiliated to the terrorists and left as soon as we did that. But that is a political action not a military one. Our military budget would be far smaller if all the random bases across the globe would be closed down and we brought the troops back home. If anyone wants to mess with the sleeping giant, then they can quickly pull up records on what happened to Japan and the Axis back in the 1940s.

The article here is talking about developing military applications for better drones. The potential gains to be had from this are more than just better strike capabilities. Those who don't see the potential humanitarian and other activities that might benefit are being short sighted.
It isn't worth taking the time to rebut yet another "study" from yet another of Rebekah Mercer's "think tanks" that want to destroy government so that plutocrats can rule without opposition. That's what this is.

I feel like removing helmets from the game entirely would actually be safer than improving helmets. The helmet just creates this false sense of safety that encourages using your head as a point of contact.

That's the thing isn't it ? They can't do anything alone.

It always amazes me that those big entities exist, because they require such a huge highly educated and skilled human power. What are all those genius at the NSA thinking ? I can't imagine somebody smart enough to work here is not smart enough to understand the consequences of working there. So why are they not quitting ?

Social pressure and money are part of the equation, certainly. I remember when I turned down a Google interview, my close circle though it was weird that I did that, even more for ethical reason.

Having the best toys, budgets and projects certainly helps as well.

But still, I wonder.

1) depends massively on the fabric

2) also depends on the fabric, but usually you have to be pretty sweaty, at least to the wet-armpits level. Just think of the level where you will be depositing salt on the clothes.

3) Not often.

If you don't want to do laundry right away, you can soak the salty clothes, squeeze them dry, and hang them.

> - How will I be able to operate my small company website in the future in a legally compliant manner?

What exactly worries you here? If you could be more specific I'd be happy to try and answer your questions.

> - How exactly does a privacy policy have to be worded

The GDPR provides a list with the information that you need to provide to a subject when processing his/her data (also look at the other articles of the same section):

https://gdpr.dpkit.com/gdpr/chapter-iii/section-2/article-13...

I think a simple text with clearly stated information is sufficient and I don't think that you'll get sued if you ensure that the information is accurate and complete, which shouldn't be too difficult for small websites.

> - In which way will I still be able to store data for contacting my existing B2B customers (such as email addresses and phone numbers)?

In a nutshell, you will need either their consent or a legitimate interest (as you do now as well): https://gdpr.dpkit.com/gdpr/chapter-ii/article-6.html

Communicating with your existing business partners (e.g. to inform them about new products or ask them for feedback) is a legitimate interest so you can still contact them without asking for permission first. They can tell you to not contact them again though (which isn't really new either).

> - Will I still be able to use anti-spam and security plugins for my website?

Yes, spam protection and security are legitimate interests and even required to comply with the GDPR (reasonable technical and organizational measures), so you are allowed to process and store IP addresses for that as long as the processing is commensurate (i.e. you should store the addresses for a limited amount of time and delete them as soon as you don't need them anymore). Here the GDPR is very similar to the BDSG as well in the sense that it allows processing of personal data if there's a legitimate interest, and ensuring the security and integrity of your service is a highly legitimate interest that can override many of the normal restrictions imposed by the legislation.

Hope this clarifies some things, would be happy to hear about your other concerns / questions as well!
Safer helmets can do only so much as they are mostly a protection from external trauma. Little can be done to address the simple physics of inertia that causes the brain to crash into the skull due to sudden acceleration in any direction. The only thing that can drastically reduce that trauma is to make rule changes to the game to avoid the type of collisions that cause that acceleration.
Careful. I somehow got flagged for stating as much last time this debate came up.
I'm genuinely curious myself. What little I've read of it made it seem like a sensationalized account of how young women in college are imagined to behave, as per an out-of-touch old man.

Robust, longrange, wireless mesh
Football has never had them, there is occasional concussion but certainly long term damage from heading the ball.

Increasingly, the take is that pre 12yo kids shouldn't be having any blows to the head. Having a helmet likely doesn't help that much until you get to the point of a major hit.
My real point about security is not that it is always in play per se, but that the naive Python will tend to do the right thing and the naive bash will not, and that's a non-trivial difference between the two. It goes beyond security. Generally as soon as you step out of bash into perl/python/ruby/whatever, you get an immediate boost to correctness of all kinds, unless you go out of your way to be sloppy. Yes, even Perl is an instant correctness boost.

As for file names not having spaces in them, after I said I personally don't use spaces in my file names,

find -name '* *' | wc -l

on my home directory here yielded 12985. Uncompressed archives I'm not the source of. Dot directions I did not creat. Some tmp files. Probably the majority of my media files, which are the bulk of that number, named in all sorts of different ways that only share in common that I didn't pick them. An Anki directory. Yeah. They happen.

(Also, because I know someone's gonna try to go for the zinger here, I am not being hypocritical. I do not have an objection to one-off scripting jobs, especially ones like this that are read-only so there is no permanent consequence for error.)

I guess when you work in an industry where what you create or do is done for killing, as a person, you must have crossed some line of what is okay to do for yourself. Similar to people who remote control 'drones'. And at that point, I would think your will to try and change what the company is doing is very small.

On that note, I jumped back off the fence. Not for me.
No, most water heating in most places in Europe is gas.

Modern front-loading washing machines, especially those managing an A or better on the EC's energy rating system, tend to use very little water, though. Depending on the plumbing system, by the time the potential cold water in the hot water pipes had run through, you might not get very much hot water at all before you were done, so you'd have to heat electrically anyway.
Jerry Seinfeld said it best:

"Now why did we invent the helmet? Well, because we were participating in many activities that were cracking our heads. We looked at the situation. We chose not to avoid these activities, but to just make little plastic hats so that we can continue our head-cracking lifestyles."
Well for a counter argument what about the guys who ordered norsk hydro (Heavy Water Plant) air raids and commando raids?

The resistance team sank a ship with 18 civilian casualties also the previous unsucsessfull air raids killed more than that.
The problem is that replacing the helmets after each play or major impact would take time, and the clock doesn't always stop after a play during football. If we stopped the clock to replace a helmet, we open up the possibility of a team using this to slow down an advancing offense, or by an offense to gain a short timeout in a sense.

Basically it just doesn't mesh well with the flow of the game.
