I moved over to Poetry recently. Pipenv traded on Reitz's cache as the Reqeusts author and got a lot of adopters, perhaps a little before the software was ready for the primetime. I only tangentially keep my finger on the pulse of the Python community but it certainly appears that they're souring on him [0], [1].

I wouldn't say more popular, but it's certainly gaining traction in a relatively short time and I prefer it. I haven't used it in anger but it certainly seems faster that Pipenv.

It certainly can. Apple does this in APFS. They call it "fast directory sizing": https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/macos-10-13-high-sie...
AWS? I'm not a loser, I design my own 19" rack mountable servers, modify and compile my own version of SmartOS, do you really think I'd be so dumb and naive as to entrust my business to some corporation? HELL NO!!! How could you even think that, what would give you such a preposterous idea!?!

And it gives me immense pleasure to be able to state that not even Digital Ocean can beat my running and maintenance costs, especially long term.

All these "cloud" providers are for people who aren't capable of designing and running their own data centers cost effectively, either because they are too lazy (I condemn them for that), or because they have clueless management (time to change companies), or because they couldn't figure out how to be full stack system engineers, from hardware through system administration all the way to architecture (for which I again mercilessly and with prejudice condemn them).

If in that business one cannot do it quickly and cost effectively on-premise... one is the wrong person for the job. Truth be told, there are few of us left alive now who can, but that's all the more reason to master the old arts.
Never tried VR, but my initial reaction went like this: how is viewing Earth from space different than just looking at a video? -> the viewport is larger -> just use VR.

This is interesting.

I think the correct interpretation is that you are not “distributing” the software at that point. Distributing implies making a copy of the software itself, whereas here you’re strictly transferring your ownership interest in the device and existing binary blobs.

I don’t believe this class of transfer is actually subject to copyright terms.
I’m always surprised when I see you here but I’m not sure why.

Anyway. I can corroborate this. Debug code is /really/ harming performance in AAA games. Also, you want to remove your “cheats” that QC use to skip chunks of the game.
Does this mean they can open source the Spongebob game to port it to different platforms?
Yes, the location was really not ideal in terms of access, but tbh I don't know where else in the bay area you could hold that kind of event.

I think the bigger issue was that every year it felt like 98% of the same exhibits in the same places. So it was the kind of thing you did once. Twice was a mistake. In 2016(?) I volunteered at a friend's booth, and didn't even really want to walk around because I'd already seen it all. And ppl gobbed the booth because it something different.
I've never seen a library in a mall with the latest & greatest books. That'd be sweet!

C'mon, that's too high a bar. I was there a few months ago (went twice in a week and spent some non-trivial time). While, Dussman has unparalleled selection of books (it's a 4-storied bookstore after all), they are also a gargantuan gift store (the 5th floor, and throughout the other floors). They have a dizzying array of expensive crap to lure consumers. I was there in November, and by Jove, was it teeming with shoppers.

That said, I still loved the incredible bookstore, and the co-located English store. Not to mention the huge vertical garden, with some 600 plant species. Definitely worth visiting, whether you're a bibliophile, or not.
I think that there should be an exit clause for VC backed businesses along the lines of, 'well, we were all morons to think this would make everyone wildly rich, but this can be an ongoing business, so lets not shut it down.'

Right, I didn't assume pensions (tbh I'm young enough that defined-benefit pensions sound like a strange anachronism to me). I wasn't asking about retirement flows but rather retirement stock: I would have imagined that someone with that level of 401k savings would also have retirement savings that didn't live in a tax-advantaged account. My parents never had enough money to put in their 401k, and I've always maxed it out, so I don't have a good model of how partial-contribution decisions are made, but I would've thought that some level of liquid savings would (on average) come before locking up money in a 401k
Tools have to have other moral significance. If they didn't, no one would ever make a value judgment or propose a law regarding a tool.

The moral significance of a tool may be complicated, multi-faceted, highly controversial, or heavily dependent on subtle specifics of the context. In the midst of such complexity, I think it is very tempting to say that the tool itself has no bearing on the conflict and all that matters is the humans who wield it. But I don't think we can get away with this simplification.

So what then? How should we treat our tools? How _can_ we treat them? It seems this thread goes quite deep... Sigh, I should really get into the habit of trying to write out my thoughts in a personal notebook.

PiHole just needs to implement DoH as both client and server.
Atom in Julia Pro does this (with autocomletion), and I've been using it in practice to clarify math in my code. It's great in practice.
My impression was that jet engines are more efficient than turboprops?

And it takes a while to climb to 65000 feet. Especially if the engine isn't as powerful as jet engines usually are (yes, it's more complicated...).

Another point is safety. Bigger airplanes usually have fewer accidents, not just because the pilots are more experienced, but also because of higher robustness against weather, time to correct mistakes, and fewer dangerous actions (landings) per passenger. Basically fewer chances to screw up with pilots that have a very long track record of not screwing up.

It's also a matter of dealing with the problem now while it's right in front of your eyes and you remember.

Generalizing here but assume 6 months later this rare duplicate happens for a very important customer so you can't just brush it off, you now really have to fix it. By then nobody remembers this code review so you don't even know if this duplicate is a one off rare event or if it is going to affect all customers. Fixing it in code review might have taken a few hours extra for one guy, now you sent the whole team scrambling weekend overtime just to find the issue and understand the implications.
There are five each in Austin and San Antonio; thirteen in Houston and fourteen in DFW. Even Lubbock has two.

The article mainly mentions kerosene-powered engines.

Is diesel more efficient on a per-kilo basis than kerosene? I always thought kerosene packs a bigger punch so you can carry less of it for the same distance.

Also if the plane is intended to fly both that high/slow and that low/slow that probably informs the wing choice. Less air resistance and lift up there.
Older games are known for still containing various cheats to skip chunks of the game or make them easier. I'd guess a PS1 game might still have debug left in along with cheats simply either due to time pressure or someone forgot.

I don't think r² as a variable name is a good idea. It may look natural for some (including myself), but for others it implies a function while not being one.
Climbing that high takes time and fuel. Which you can recover somewhat on descent, but not totally, and under not-ideal circumstances like hiccups in the flight plan the plane even has to waste the potential energy.

I'd say that altitude is the reason for the focus on long distance.
can you share the source please ?
It's probably not OP's code itself but usage of UWP. The apps you mentioned here are all written in pure Win32 API. HWND, HANDLE, HPEN, HDC, anyone? Just pure C (or pure C++) and some functions... Those were the days!
I’ll be honest - if I had nothing but time and a paid off house, I’d be sorely tempted to just tinker for a while. The bay is no place to do that though - it’s too expensive.
I think a better question is how many need the perfect monitor and how many could do with these "horrible" IPs panel.

Thanks for addressing me with this recommendation. As you may have guessed, I'm the developer of Files UWP. I really have a great deal of respect for those who take the time to learn the guts of the Windows API which simultaneously teaches one how Windows itself works. I won't deny it. There is certainly something pretty great to learning a subsystem written under Gates himself.

Further, there have been many instances where I've grown quite tired of the limitations surrounding UWP. Just this evening, I discovered we simply can't check the maximized/minimized state of the app windows. While this limitation probably dates back to Win 8, this functionality is taken for granted by Win32 devs. Don't get me started on how slow some of the Windows.Storage APIs are compared to that of Win32.

Because of these reasons, I'll kindly admit to you guys that a file explorer application probably SHOULD be written using completely-native Windows APIs. I can't deny the UX improvements brought by Fluent Design to controls have been great, but I'm NOT blinded by my own ignorance. UWP (in it's current state) is not ready for adoption. In fact, I started work on Files last year with no real knowledge of what an API was. (My knowledge of programming concepts has come a long way since then) Come February 2019, I posted the project to Reddit with the intention of abandoning it, but I was blown away by the overwhelmingly-positive community feedback to the point where I continued work on the project. I almost feel obligated to, at the very least, maintain it.
I'd suspect the executable size has more to do with bundled libraries rather than the author having written multiple megabytes worth of if statements...
The gulf stream would be less efficient, require more passengers and may not be able to land at as many airports.

I think they aim for some kind of long-range air taxi. Small groups which want to travel a long distance from A to B but a very short distance to and from A and B's respective airports. Business trips, most likely.

And probably the plane is no slouch at medium or even short range if it is operated by a non-airline company. Just not "ridiculously efficient".

You seem to believe a shitty general key-value store with no SQL interface and no ACID guarantees qualifies as a distributed system, which is terribly shallow and misguided.

I worked at a company circa 2005 where we had a platform as a service built on top of Solaris 10 and zones, on-premise infrastructure which you now call cloud. Fully configured and serving Sun clusters would come into existence by merely DHCP booting from the OpenBoot PROM (Sun had to give us patches for the OBP for DHCP booting). I happen to know this, because I was one of the senior system engineers who helped architect it and then built it. We had it powering tens of thousands of servers. We were one of the first users of IP Multipathing in Solaris ("IPMP"), a technology Sun engineers invented to provide redundancy for network connectivity for the clusters. Amazon wasn't even a smear yet. That was in 2005. Which year is it now? How many years ago was that?

Some of that is due to the secrecy surrounding the aircraft. Especially the overall business strategy is in the shadows.

It's not even clear that this plane is close to the final size.

And to speculate about this strategy, those tradeoffs are valid input.
Which is probably part of the interest/mystique in this project.
Yep, every multinational capitalist corporation split themselves into Axis and Allies subdivisions, and continued business as usual during the war. You can point out American corps like IBM and GM, but European corps like Shell did the exact same thing.

That was one of those idealized arguments about how global capitalism is the 'end of history'. Because under ideal circumstances, you are only bombing yourselves...

100% this. To understand code written with Greek letters you'd also need to understand the author's intentions for using said letters. Is mu an average or coeff of friction? Why should I lean on a crutch of context for a casual skim of code? It doesn't help readability and it surely isn't enjoyable to write.
Ask HN: Resources to relearn my undergraduate courses?
As strange as it may sound, I graduated with a CS degree and didn't put in much effort during my time in college so I'd like to go over my undergraduate course material again. I need good resources to learn the following topics at an undergraduate/graduate level :

- Databases and SQL

- Compilers, formal languages and automata theory

- Operating systems

- Computer networking

If you have recommendations on books or courses online that could help me go over these topics, that would be very helpful.
I'm pretty sure pulsetile meant that people in the Python-sphere hate the creator of pipenv, not that the creator of pipenv hates pipenv.

Fire can get outa hand say farmers that burn ditches and wheat fields after harvest. Add a little bit of wind and you cannot even approach the fire, might need to stay 5-10 yards away. Go ahead and stop that one then :).

Best bet, if possible, would be to improvise a barrier xx meters away so when the fire reaches there it stops by itself. Easier said than done.
I'm not a professional, but I had the impression that people generally don't want to fly in aircraft with shapes other than the current dominating design. For me that's a non-issue if I trust the regulatory procedures (737-Max 8 comes to mind)...

Rutan has a lot of great looking planes. Unfortunately they had limited success. People still try now and again to introduce flying-wings, but I guess the above is one factor why it doesn't seem to take.

It sounds weird. Using singular "they" instead sounds perfectly natural.

Yeah there's also the fact that it implies that male is the "default" which isn't ideal, but that's really secondary to the fact that using "he" for an unspecified person doesn't sound right and probably never has. If it had ever sounded right, people would have been using it naturally and grammar prescriptivists wouldn't have had to spend so much time complaining about singular "they".
If one checks on TCRF, it's a lot more common than developers would like us to believe.

I'm not sure what Poetry tries this to simplify on the development side... using venv and pip/requirements.txt is simple enough for me. And you don't even have to do it by hand, Pycharm will do it for you and activate the right venv in the shell tab. Distribution is something else, but I wouldn't expect users to type commands in a shell anyway, so there is only a need for one-click installers and/or self contained executables, where poetry does nothing it seems (Nuitka/PyInstaller and other solutions will help here).

Just because we can't measure an effect, it doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. This seems like a really unscientific thing to say. But remember that the world is not a lab where you can exactly control conditions. There is no control group, and the null hypothesis cannot be proven. But we still have to deal with that complex world and make choices.

To believe that a novel substance is benign until proven otherwise is just a form of bias. There is no objective reason why a substance should be innocent until proven guilty. We just have to adopt that policy out of practicality!

This will be enormously helpful for climate modeling, lack of subsurface oceanic data severely limits accurate long-term prediction.

One of the elephant-sized gaps in our ability to model the climate is that we know our current understanding of subsurface oceanic geochemistry and geophysics is basically fiction, we are routinely surprised in this regard when we actually measure it. The measurements we've based models on have been extremely sparse relative to both the complexity and dynamics of the system. We tend to model it as a relatively dead, static space but we have substantial evidence that suggests this is very far from the truth, we just don't have enough data to understand what drives the actual dynamics. This is one of the biggest inputs for climate behavior and it is by far the biggest hole in our models that prevent us from making useful predictions.
