This seems true of the Python community in general. I've yet to meet anyone that's not nice and really supportive (there are bound to be some, but I've not knowingly interacted with them).

No, under most interpretations of QM, things literally behave differently at that scale. Under Copenhagen, the wave literally collapses into a fixed position/momentum. The pre measurement wave isn't a statement of our ignorance of the system but rather a description of reality. The many worlds is even more serious in its quantum literalism. Far from pushing around the subject of your experiment with a too-big measuring device, you're actually branching worlds where all predictions of the wave function occur.
I think it's because many people think you can't edit PDFs, but they know you can edit text documents.
It does not seem to take either inflation or lost growth on the down-payment. These two factors have a huge impact on evaluating property against other investments. It would be nice to factor in an interest-only mortgage rather than a repayment mortgage.
So why hasn't the broken system been fixed (or at least brought up to the standard of the rest of the developed world) yet?
>2) Looking at the circumstances, it seems far more likely that this was an action by ex-exployees with commercial motives, rather than government-sponsored spying.

> I also got a pretty clear idea of how the they rest. It was a predictable schedule that was entirely based on light. As soon as the sun went down in the late evening, people retired to their huts, and within half an hour, I heard deep breathing and snoring all over the camp. Turns out if you don't have a device to stare at, you tend to sleep early and deeply. Around nine hours later, with the call and answer of the rooster in the distance, the camp would start to stir and another day of hunting, gathering -- and soccer playing -- would begin.

When did you decide that libraries are waystations for the wounded, as a member of society? I'm curious, because this underlies your notion.

Personally, I see it in practical terms. Regarding the policy of using a library as a resource center, giving people access to computers and training materials is a pretty darn good idea for folks who want to enrich their careers or other domains of life.
where would this moral obligation or possible conflict come from?
There's a world of difference between "having access to medical care" and "having access to appropriate care for a disorder that presents particular obstacles in accessing conventional care pathways". Access to care in the US is highly inconsistent, because there's a patchwork of providers and funders.

Effective care for people with severe and enduring mental illness needs to be patient-led but assertive - we're not going to lock you up unless it's genuinely in your best interests, but we're not going to let you slip through the cracks either. Compulsory inpatient treatment is a necessary last resort where people pose a clear and immediate risk, but it should not be the basis of care for severe and enduring mental illness.

The issues regarding involuntary treatment in the US are highly complex, but the evidence indicates that involuntary community treatment does not make a significant difference in clinical outcomes. Forcing people to attend appointments or take medication doesn't seem to result in any long-term benefit on aggregate. Some people do benefit (at least in the short term) from being treated against their will, but compulsion undermines the relationship of trust between care providers and service users and discourages people from engaging with care.

I think it's worth noting that the actual text in a commit message stays with the repository. The contents of an issue referenced by the id does not. This is something to be considered especially if this is for an open source project or otherwise somewhere where the git repository itself is more important/central than the issue tracker platform.

It's not selective empathy that chips at "the society" (actually at individuals - the article makes the same generalist assumption - by "averaging" empathy they average the same way that Bundy's followers did), but the State.

Why should I cultivate empathy or make an effort to show it when the State entirely monopolized it?

Sure, I have empathy for family and friends but beyond that I know that its all driven by statist "policies" that run on stolen taxpayer money, so screw the State and screw virtue signaling. Stop stealing and telling me what to do, and then when it's up to me I may start paying more attention.

By the way note that the so called empathy displayed on FB is merely virtue signaling - all it takes is a Like, there's no effort or anything else beyond that empty gesture. If anything happens after that (very unlikely), it comes at practically no cost to the signaller, whether it's in effort, money or time.
When I read this my first thought was "you should use a FrozenDict", but looking into it, it seems that it doesn't exist; I assumed so because of FrozenSets (hashable sets).

Google negotiated extremely favorable terms with Fiber cities, much more favorable than the terms the incumbents received: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/10/time-warner-att-....

> As we’ve reported on in the past, Kansas City has rolled out the digital red carpet for Google: giving rights of way, prime office space, expedited permitting, fee waivers, and more. In a notable example, the city charged only $10 per pole for Google to string its cable on municipal utility poles—as opposed to the usual $18.95 per pole rate. But now, local incumbents Time Warner Cable and AT&T want to feel the love, too.

It wouldn’t be fair to accuse Google if “buying” anything—it’s modus operandi was to approach second tier cities in low-cost states that would see fiber as a differentiating factor to help boost their economy. (That’s why they refused to deal with Boston, SF, or NYC.) Then Google gave them extremely aggressive terms, such as waiver of build-out requirements (the obligation to serve the whole city, even unprofitable areas) that are otherwise universal in such deals. And Google still couldn’t make the numbers work!
Most people can't afford to buy. Buying a house/apartment generally requires a 20% down payment, inspections, lawyer fees, realtor fees, and a shit ton of paperwork, and that's assuming a bank will even loan you money at a reasonable rate.

Less ambiguity is not automatically an improvement. I'm not convinced that the lowered ambiguity of first to file is a net win.

Even with the availability of provisional applications, the 12 month limit on priority date, and the relative stringency required to avoid challenges to the priority date, doesn't seem to tip the scales significantly towards encouraging the creation of what we think of as inventions while simultaneously simplifying possible court proceedings, or lowering ambiguity as you put it.

This x10.

I really don't know why. I can leave and come back to other languages and not have anywhere near as much difficulty.
What is the general feeling among theoretical physicists when it comes to breakthroughs in resolving these paradoxes? Decades ago there was great optimism about string theory and similar, followed by a long period of disillusionment . What is the guesstimates now for the next big breakthrough such as unifying gravity and QM? Is it seen as something achievable in the near/foreseeable future, or is it considered to be a far future achievement comparable to say interstellar travel (“we’ll get there if we aren’t extinct by then, but our current civilization will seem primitive by the time we do”)?

1000 times this. There is also a significant drawback to having to much rules about commit messages which is that it can lead to horrible passive aggressive behavior: "Dear XYZ, I have undone your commit abf9de because the commit description was improper. In future, please follow the guidelines found at http://ABC. It saves work for all of us. Thanks in advance."

Keep in mind that there are different degrees here. Commit messages should be informative, yes, but worrying about whether they start with a capital letter or are written in past or present tense is waste of energy.
Sensei's Library is older than Wikipedia.

It was a really vibrant place for a while, and is still the first place I go when I want to look something up that's Go-related, but it's pretty static at this point. I'm glad that it's still maintained; a lot of resources like that tend to wither and die once their usage starts to fade.

The answer is that advocates “care” for these populations enough to ruin a public space that they don’t use in their leafy suburbs. (The suburban towns don’t put up with homeless and crazy people... they get picked up for their safety and shipped off to the city.) The rights of the crazy guy taking a dump in the middle of a library are more important than the people looking to read or learn or to have a place to be.

But that “care” for these people doesn’t extend to actually providing meaningful ways to improve their lot.
I'm not sure about the historical part, but now the uncertainty principle is not an independent postulate. It's deduced form the non commutation of the operations to measure the position and the momentum of a particle. This can be done in the wave representation or in the matrix representation.

Moreover, similar calculations can be done with other measurements that don't conmute. One that is very important is the spin of a particle in the x, y, and z axis.

Another is the polarization of a photon in directions that are at 45°. For example, most of (all?) the experiments of the EPR paradox are done with polarization instead of position-momentum, because polarization is much easier to measure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox

Absolutely. For me it is a 50-50 chance whether I have data in a dict that needs to be mapped to something or have data in a list/tuple that needs mapping.

Many major programming languages undersell how natural key-value data structures are; usually by providing unwieldy mapping data types. Clojure has spoiled me.

> you could throw one together

Yeah, I do. Most Python programmers wouldn't see a need for that, but that can be attributed to Python not having the capability by default and so they've just internalised not to use dict for anything that needs to be a key. World's mildest form of learned helplessness, I suppose.
You can't reasonably count things like lawn maintenance, carpet, water damage, wood rot, and broken appliances as part of the investment...

Fate of My Project
I started my appointment on a just-founded tech startup, as Head of Engineering with a team of engineers.
The engineering-driven company took my already designed and half-developed side-project as starting point to build its own MVP under my direction.
I pitched the project and trained the team on the relevant topics. Team members were 2 juniors and 1 senior devops. I was in a very good dynamics with all the team with I was also socializing with. There was good energy and appetite for work.
I knew they were not skilled enough, so I focused more on training at the beginning. As time passed I realized that we were going on the path of missing deadlines, so I focused on getting things done while waiting for their patches to the codebase.
6 months into the task and everything seemed to be fantastic, everybody was apparently happy on their tasks, but soon everything would suddenly change.
It was on my arrival that day after being away for two weeks when I happily started coaching a new engineer through the code, just after greeting all the people, when I spotted unrecognizable changes in the structure of the codebase, so I asked him (I left him in charge during my holidays). A scene unfolded, full of anger he stood up and started to speak loud to me, with imperatives, like if he was my grieving boss. This was my first day of the hostile epoch that was to come. I interviewed all members of the team to try to figure out what happened. After two weeks I ended up deeming a crafted plot in which he would blame me and my design, questioning everything even the directory names. He was able to put all the remaining team on his side, making all of them doubt my leadership.

>Reformers who seek to abolish tribalism usually find that they've simply redrawn the boundary lines and replaced one set of tribes with another.

I completely agree with this. It seems as though that many(all?) people have some group that's the Other and it's acceptable to attack them in various ways. For example, it used to be socially acceptable to attack nerds, but it isn't anymore, however, people have simply picked new groups that are acceptable targets that are more specific, such as anti-PC people. What seems to have improved though, is that we seem to condone extreme measures less and less. Nerds used to be physically bullied, but that seems to be less acceptable nowadays.

While I think that the ideas of inclusiveness aren't going to work, because there's always going to be some Other that's acceptable to be demonized (eg incels right now) by the in-group, I hope that the demonization becomes less and less extreme over time.
A lot of universities are now using Python at the beginning of their curriculum, that may be one of the cause.
Anecdotally we make ~ $500/mo after property management costs, but it isn't 100% hands-off. They are a middleman which means they bother us instead of the tenant.

I don't want to belittle the $500, but if we had good tenants and dealt with them directly we'd be getting double that.

Now is an extra grand a month worth the hassle with GOOD tenants? Maybe. But all it takes is one bad one to be in the hole and full of stress.
I hope you can add more remote work soon.
