Good. Just because you want to make a poll doesn't give you the right to interrupt me and waste my time.
I'll update the landing page to clarify who the target audience of this survey is. Thank you for your help.

Probably I'm in a bubble where "maker" has a slightly different meaning :/

And what about those who are making tutorials, graphics and digital art, or music? Now I'm starting to worry that there is another name for this group of people as well :D
Yet Microsoft does so in Visual Studio, and apps like IDA Pro exist and are quite expensive. And there's a whole lot of proprietary ARM debugging platforms.

Even in FOSS there is also lldb and edb.
(And gdb can be made more palatable by a front end such as ddd.)
And it comes from a time, where a 2MB-webpage is considered acceptable. The whole idea of venvs is basically still considering some reuse. If you shout out loud "SCREW YOU LIBRARY REUSE", then npm is perfect of course...
I wonder if that's a common theme among long time emigrants? I moved to the UK just over 5 years ago, I love home but find it slightly depressing being back there for more than a couple of days.
I think "concentrate negative experiences and dilute pleasant ones" would be a more accurate restatement.
I meant to say Ww2 resistance. My mistake :)

> The Model 3 in particular has an esthetic which IMO is particularly timeless and will not feel dated in 10 or even 20 years.

Maybe the physical appearance of the car, but I guarantee the interior and infotainment system will age poorly in 10-20 years, just like any other car. In fact, it might even age worse.

Try using a 5 year old Android tablet and you'll see what I mean.

> people will hold onto their EVs for more miles than their ICE equivalents

Some people, but there are a lot of people who buy cars for status, and they won't want to be driving a 10 year old car whether it's financially practical or not.

This aspect will not change just because the cars are more reliable.
I recently switched from Poetry (to which I switched after pipenv) to pip-tools for some projects, because Poetry was not able to work properly with some dependencies.

Pip-tools has been a dream. It is just a thin layer of tools on top of Pip that separates your 'abstract' requirements (eg: django<3) from your 'release' requirements (eg: django==2.2.5) and managing running pip to have your virtualenv reflect your exact requirements.
No new standard like pyproject that is partially supported (by 3rd party that is), no intention to (but failing at) being the all dominating way to do python packaging.
Just a tool that is there to help you.

edit: it also automates updating the release requirements file (within the constraints of the abstract requirements).
This seems closer to a set of colors for the terminal which is great when you're looking for swatches that go together for every color but doesn't help you decide which colors to use in your design
Emailed! Hope it's come through okay.
The board that shall not be named was very interesting back in the day. There was always garbage, but even a simple battle toads thread could be a lot of fun to follow.

I never knew if the interesting people found a new home, or disbanded, but I sure miss when fun stuff happened there.
At the far other extreme of the spectrum, in blighted urban neighborhoods, everyone also leaves their cars unlocked. If you let the junkies inspect the contents of your car freely, they won't smash the windows to do it.
The problem is if my counter example is a counter example it diverges to infinity. (someone else proposed a proof that there are no cycles other than at 1, if this proof is wrong my counter example could be a cycle and thus "easy" to show). However if goes to infinity it is really hard to see how you show it doesn't eventually converge if you just went a little big longer.

Note that every counter example you propose is actually a sequence of counter examples. It would be interesting to examine the properties of whatever numbers that counter example has in common. Though this is an obvious thing that I suspect someone has already done to no effect.
Bazel will cache already built tests as well, and only rebuild those which have changed. Are you saying that it’s cheaper to evaluate Bazel’s dep. graph yourself rather than have Bazel do it? Bazel caches the dep. graph too. Have you tried —-watchfs? Don’t tear down the daemon needlessly, either.
Having recently spent some time in a leadership position, I must admit I became disillusioned with "consensus emerging from democratic debate" - everyone tends to argue from their myopic view of the issue and to avoid thinking through the consequences fully (because ultimately they won't be responsible for them).

That said, as a subordinate, I hate it when no rationale is given. And it can be counterproductive too because people will start to speculate about "true reasons" behind the decision. Instead a reasonable thing to do seems to be to publish a rationale but make it clear that the debate is over and everyone has to commit to the decision even if they disagree with it.
Grocers have been doing this for decades...

People have been doing this far longer.

There's nothing novel about putting stacks of toilet paper in warehouses near big populations.
Actually after search I went to ads as well to learn the maths part of it. Both are very interesting as long as you don't get to a team led by politics and PMs.

After politics/PMs creep in you have to stop looking at the data to improve the product because you get so many ,,little'' tasks to implement from the outside.

I guess it depends on the market, healthcare is not a free market as you can never say: "Guess I'll die.", no rational human does that. Moreover, the single drug people require is often patented and thus monopolized. But people will say: "Guess I won't buy a Hugo Boss suit."

I guess you can go the route of government sponsored insurance (and everybody know governments hardly negotiate as they can print money) or you make laws and keep tight control over what insurance companies can and can't do.
Interesting read. I've always assumed that prescription drug pushing and addiction problems were a modern phenomenon, so it's interesting to read about drug companies developing and pushing addictive drugs almost a century ago.

Even my mother realizes how lame Facebook is now. It's what her generation is familiar with, so it'll take an act of Congress to get them off of it.
It will be interesting to see how companies will engage with culture wars in the upcoming years. I expect it to get back to firing of employees to create cultural hegemony, something that will be frowned upon in some societies.
> A group of Google programmers created a tool that allowed employees to choose to alert Walker with an automated email every time they opened any document at all, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. The deluge of notifications was meant as a protest to what they saw as Walker’s insistence on controlling the minutiae of their professional lives.

Wow. Just wow. The level of highschool-level unprofessionalism displayed here is shocking to me. Are these the people we have trusted all of our personal secrets with?
Greed?
I think Google has finally embraced the fact that they're an advertising company and they're not going to change the world for the better. This means they need to drive off the idealistic hackers that built the company and replace them with corporate drones who aren't focused so much on building an empire as much as protecting it.

This has been happening at both Google and Facebook over the last 5 years. I think the fact that they're driving off their most talented (and expensive!) employees is part of the plan for transitioning from explosive growth to maintenance. The growth mindset has become a liability for them.
The idea is to make builds (more) reproducible. I can build a python program, test it thoroughly, and then be reasonably assured the whole thing won't come crashing down in CI/CD from a bad update to a transient dependency. Then when I want to update the libraries I know I'm doing it purposefully and can commit the new dependency tree to source control.
Yet they also have pretty high audience reviews, unlike many other movies panned by the critics. (I haven't seen them, so I can't comment)
kuler.adobe.com is only similar if you mean the parent should be browsing the community themes, otherwise it's more like a color picker with optional constraints based on color theory (which are great starting points but won't really guide you to the finish line)

the second link has way too many colors to really be useful
"reddit is fun" for android has few ads (text only, obvious difference from content) and has an easy way to copy, share, find in page, find on site, etc. And if you have a reddit account, you can save pages ala HN to quickly go back. Not as good as tabs, I get it. RIF is of the few apps I have for content.

This is compared to the Washington Post mobile app, which is essentially a wrapper around the mobile site that prevents copying text, has annoying ads despite being a subscriber, and has no redeeming functionality.
Github forks are meaningless. Sometimes they're forked because people think it's the same as the "star" button. Sometimes it's to have a classy project show up on your profile. Sometimes it's because you want to submit a PR. Sometimes it's because your company requires a software but isn't willing to use the public mainline.

Not sure whether that's possible with this site, since it was built without code.
Cats will come over to you if you squat down, it happens almost instantly. In cat world I guess the human being low means you're nice.

Cats are heavily into patterns. My family always had cats and you could see how they craved for everything to be in order. You come home at 5pm, you eat at 6, you watch TV at 7pm, you turn off the TV at 10:35pm, you brush your teeth at 10:40pm and on and on. Cats know and expect your routine to be the same and they seem to love that.

My elderly parents' cat puts my father to bed. Then she goes off to her favourite sleeping spot. My dad's brother comes to visit at 2pm and the cat gets ready for the visit by coming to sit by the chair before my uncle arrives.

It seems to me that there was a time that a lot of the Software Engineering work was contributed by Universities. Operating Systems, Databases, Compilers, Networks, etc. Examples that come to my mind are UCSD Pascal, Unix Berkley, Ingres at Berkley, Kermit Project at Columbia. I don't see that any more. You should be able to get a PHD by designing and implementing a state of the art piece of software. Even google was started as part of a research project I think.
Paying staff? Hosting costs? Recouping money for the time they spent on it?
Interesting to find this research! good job!
I think the ability of Americans to drive privately-owned cars in terrible states of repair will prevent this future.

I've known folks who limp along old cars for years, dealing with potentially dangerous issues with the transmission or suspension. And don't get me started on people who don't keep tires with sufficient tread.

But all these terrible cars are cheap to continue driving in a just-barely-works state. Folks are able to get to their jobs working daycare or fast food in a beat-up 15 year-old car because many places in the US don't require safety inspections, or if they do, only when the car is transferred to a new owner.

If individual car ownership ends, and all the cars are instead owned by large drive-share corporations, that's obviously going to be heavily regulated, cars will all be maintained on a best-practice schedule, etc. Similar to how rental car companies or Uber/Lyft today only use newer, reasonably-maintained vehicles.

If that becomes the reality for all cars in America, we might see a market sort of like Japan. They have a rigorous periodic safety inspection called Shaken, so cars in Japan mostly tend to be newer. Once cars get older and require more work, they're often seen as fairly worthless in Japan and exported to poorer countries with more lax vehicle requirements.

I personally like the Japanese system - it seems to make sense that cars on the road should meet a rigorous level of roadworthiness. But that's so different from the current reality in the US that I'm not sure society would go along with the higher costs that would come with these well-maintained shared vehicles.
>Nobody goes to Google because they want to see ads.

Sure. But ads are the reason how Google can support and pamper their workforce. It's what allowed them to bow to internal activists to give up on multi-billion dollar contracts with the Pentagon and maybe even other federal agencies (like ICE and CBP - though I'm not sure they would be crazy enough to do that).
In the mid 1990s, I commuted from San Diego to SF for a tech lead job on an AI project. Super Shuttle at the time worked very well for me, even though I typically lost twenty minutes waiting forthe van drop offs before my drop off point. With a 6am flight, I arrived at the office earlier than almost all my local colleagues. Yeah, today, I would use Uber or Lift.
It makes me feel ill to see computers doing things like this. Aidungeon was difficult to stomach as well. GANs were invented on a whim by a single person. Nobody thought it would work when applied to this kind of problem. It came out of nowhere. Pretty soon someone will try something on a higher order task and it’s going to work. We are opening Pandora’s box and I’m not sure that we should do that.
Indeed! It doesn't seem dead at all. While having a new release could be nice, I must also say I didn't face much trouble with the last release (I do Ansible work & use pipenv+pyenv to freeze the dependencies). I'm grateful to pipenv in how it has helped me here.
I understand the value of a locking mechanism in the JS ecosystem because 1/ many packages depend on an intricate web of other packages that overlap, 2/ many packages use semver ranges, and 3/ you don't want two versions of the same package running on a user's browser, due to conflicts and increased size.

I can't think of many Python packages that have the same issues, and Python code isn't sent to and running on a user's browser.

Am I wrong or is there a reason that a locking mechanism (other than git) is helpful in Python?
I guess there will be accounts which are shared just to read the content. Although it requires 1 malicious user to get such account closed, it makes the profiling much more difficult.

The question is who will have access to make new releases on the Python Package Index. Otherwise, they'd have to find a new name for their fork.
It's only free shipping if the basket is more than £20 and there's no bulky items.
Expectation of privacy was defined in an era when recording was expensive, on the assumption that there was a certain degree of anonymity in public just from the sheer impossibility of tracking everybody.

There is no reason that our rights should be limited to what was found necessary to protect in the past. There must be a new category of expectation of transience, that Jeff Bezos and the FBI won't keep a permanent record of your every waking moment.
That normally means there have been 1.4k pull requests not 1.4k people actively maintaining forks.
There is no difference for the average user. I'm not going to use the code in master, I will use a package from pip, pipenv or otherwise.
My wife grew up here in IL, we were visiting New England where I grew up and spent a day on Hampton Beach, her, I, and my daughter.

They started a game of using McD's french fries as lures to get the beach gulls to swoop in on unsuspecting kids as they were playing... sometimes 20 or 30 gulls at a time.

Felt like dropping spotter rounds for airstrikes.

(No children were harmed, just many french fries tossed instead of consumed.)
I’ve heard good things wrt determinism and packaging for different environments (dev/test/prod) on top of the simplicity!
Unrelated: Is there anyone here who has substantially large project, which they would like to open-source but have refrained from it in the fear of getting dissed by the community because it wasn't written up-to standards or you know you'll not be able to maintain it?
We don't know yet what the cost of something like Uber is going to be if the car can drive itself.

I don't know what city you live in, but where I live the city is pretty difficult to navigate with a car. This is because of all the other cars clogging up the road.

And besides, the entire point here is that you still have access to a car. You are not facing the problem of navigating a car based infrastructure without a car. The entire idea is that there are cars available on-demand!

I guess we could do nothing and hope that at some point governments figure out to build public transportation in a reasonable time frame for a reasonable amount of money, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that. There is zero reason we can't simultaneously work on more efficiently using the infrastructure we already have.
> Just wanted to note that it is not a very good way to gauge oppressiveness or fairness

I would point out that the conviction ratio of the US is indicative of massive flaws in the powers that DAs have in most jurisdictions to force time limited plea agreements on defendants who have limited information and are under threat of charges with much higher penalties. This can usually be done without any oversight or approval from judges.

> In a perfect world, charges would only ever be brought against the guilty, and only the guilty would be found as such by court. In such a World the ratio would be 0:<division by zero error>...

That sounds like a world with complete surveillance, no privacy and a judicial system with absolute power. Doesn't sound like a perfect world to me.
I agree with your experience. However I disagree with one aspect, in my experience.

Giving a rationale hasn’t engendered trust, and instead has contributed to conspiratorial discussions (they say it’s about x, but it’s really about y!) and often times the conspiratorialists were kind of right. There is no good answer but a straight directive with little food to chew on leads to less counterproductive speculation. And often it is less “dishonest”.
>we thought that it's a different company. And it was.

What do you mean a 'different company'. You mean different in that it wouldn't do business with the American government? Different in that it would bow to a small pool of activists to drive business decisions?
The 1.0 release is a must for a working poetry environment.
The people handling it are friendly and communicate over github and discord.
However, it's not all roses.

- VSCode supports poetry as a second class citizen
- Documentation is there, but only in github issues
- There is no migration path from pip and pipenv to poetry
- I can't do releases via CI because of a poetry bug.
But if you pay with ads, don't you need to see a LOT of ads, unless your privacy is compromised and they use trackers about you to give you targeted (i.e. more lucrative) ads?
Facebook was always lame, it was a utilitarian communication tool. It's like calling hammers or wall calendars or trash bags lame.

It's similar to the argument you here when people say "they youth arent into facebook anymore, now they use xxxx." That's nice and all, but as long as they get facebook when they graduate high school or go to college, facebook wins. It doesnt need to be hip and cool if its the network gluing everyone together. Did the white pages or yellow pages need to be cool to be useful?

Even if it's infinitely better? I have been using the 'reddit is fun' app for years, and it's the best experience by far. I hate even using my computer to browse reddit to be honest, I would rather sit and be comfortable with a phone. Can't say that about most sites.

On the opposite end, I hate browsing hackernews on my phone so I almost never do. I can't click anything because it's so small. So I just end up using it on the desktop, which is fine I guess.. but it limits my interaction with this site.
This is handwaving a bit, you still have to manually create the migration that results from your model code change, and also apply the migration.

It's "automatic" because you just have to issue a single command for each, and django generates the migration from your code and settings.
a bit like "pip freeze > requirements.txt" then?

Not explaining is a bad idea, since it means that people who disagree have no chance to be convinced or even understand the motives if not convinced, so they are much less likely to effectively cooperate with the new course.

Instead, explain at length and let people discuss, but at some point explain that the decision is final unless some major new elements come up.

I think spaced repetition is not every constant set of time but rather every increasing set of time, like reviewing in a week, then a month, then a year, etc. basically reviewing when you're about to forget. I don't think it's even necessary to review it in the same manner, as long as it causes you to remember, it's probably fine.
