It’s always interesting to me how illegal drugs wax and wane in popularity.

We like to blame opioid over-prescribing for the surge in opioid use, but there was also a heroin “epidemic” in the 1970’s that slowly petered out as cocaine became the focus in the 80’s.
Any way to run these offline?
What's next, "America's caffeine epidemic"?

Interspersed with all this pedantry is a smarmy judgement towards stimulants and COMPLETE LACK of context of the times, and a lack of any societal or species context that recognizes the BREATHTAKING ACHIEVEMENTS during said times of "Oh so bad bad we should be ashamed it's an epidemic!" There's an undercurrent here that is almost criminal.

The sin is not excess, certainly at 5mg a dose. The sin is not 'euphoria', which often turns out to be psych-speak for 'a simple will to live'. What people crave with caffeine and amphetamine is mental alertness. Caffeine delivers, speed delivers more. And with that people can do, have done, incredible things.

Aside from the specific physiological effects like chronically overbearing hearts that also plagues athletes, the worst mental effects of stimulants are often blamed directly on the drug -- not abusers' lack of discipline -- and result from a LACK OF or DISRUPTION OF sleep. Stimulants do NOT, in themselves, make you crazy.

Well, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
>Not men as a group.

Of course it was men as a group. You only have to go back a few decades to get to a time when the majority of men, across social classes, found the idea of women serving in the military ridiculous.

I still don't see how the rest of your comment is relevant to this discussion. Again, the gender requirement was not specific to conscription.

>One never see the idea of sending misbehaving girls to military school.

Because girls couldn't join the military!
Big Bang Theory first season maybe. Ultimately they were almost parity.

I don't like this framing (sort of implies they aren't be honest) but regardless just switch if you're not happy with the release frequency and you have viable alternatives.
I'm sorry for this, apparently I misread the HN rules. Is there any way I can edit it to remove the "Show HN" part?

I deleted my Reddit account recently in an effort to curb social media. I've still been checking r/all and some favorite subreddits. Thank you Reddit for further breaking the site and making it easier to ween myself off of. Thank you HN for the addiction block contols on the account screen.
Second this. If execs don't build a system that enables people employees are simple tools. Sure, execs like the superficial control that comes with it. Yet, it doesn't serve customers, employees nor the company and its execs.

Not just revenue, but 'products'. Maker, to me, means someone who makes projects, not necessarily things for other people to consume.
Especially if they haven't even said anything yet. A better suggestion would be "It's okay if you're not working on this, but let the community know." I have a feeling some use this for production grade work.
> The state of speech recognition is still quite terrible.

I think we should just "move fast and break things"... make all cars self-drivable via speech recognition. I mean that would would serve to limit car ownership... to those with a death wish.
Human’s have a few characteristics that make them prone to seeing things in a distorted way.

The first is thinking they live in unique times - “it’s never been like this before”, when in fact every generation has existential threats.

The second is perspective and looking at the past with rose colored glasses. No, the 1970’s were actually a really depressing time to be living in the US and yes, the boomers had to live through it.
Pipenv has spawned so much controvery.. One big shitfest.

Python packaging in general is such a messy ecosystem
What you can't do on IE6 without user agent sniffing?
I recently browsed reddit after years of abstinence.

The “view discussion” and “view more comments” buttons are just utter, utter shite. It is near impossible to read all of the comments.

It’s clearly designed to satisfy KPIs other than actually reading a post. More like superficially bouncing from one post to the next, dropping an upboat and off you go.

I sincerely hope all these sign in-only forums with great SEO like Quora and Reddit suffocate on their own rot.
Electric cars will fail just as soon as IC powered cars because the engine hasn't been the limit in years. The power source has no effect on how fast the seats wear. The power source as no effect on the rubber door seals failing. The power source has very little effect on how long before the suspension wears out. The power source has no effect on how long before the "new car" smell goes away. The power source has no effect on changing styles. The power source has no effect on when an accident destroys the car.

IC cars do last decades if you care for them. Very few people do.
This is all MIT licensed, if people care so much, why has nobody forked this? Why are people talking about jumping ship to a completely different project instead of forking and cutting a new release from there?
I'd caveat this very slightly, as sometimes a business model turns out to be existentially viable, but lacks the kind of scale, revenue, or exponential growth that VCs want to see.
I just fail to see how old Reddit could not have been a sustainable standalone business. Conde Nast had a huge opportunity once they acquired it as it no longer needed "VC growth" but they failed. I wish I had the opportunity to acquire it for 10-20 million[1].

They don't do the same thing. pipenv allows you to create, manage virtual environments(using venv) apart from managing requirements file(Pipfile) and an npm like locking mechanism, dependency graphs, dev dependencies and more.

I prefer poetry though, since the consensus seems to be coming together on pyproject.toml rather than individual files like Pipfile. A lot of tools have already started supporting the toml file for their config, or have PRs pending.
pipenv does more than just create a venv, although it is my favorite tool for that. The most important thing it does is freeze the dependency tree using Pipfile.lock
> otherwise open source wouldn't work

This is more a case of non-open-source software trying to force physical-world business models into a world where physicality has no meaning. Most open source development is paid for by paying for the work to be done. In other words, much open source software is not free; rather, it's already been paid for.
I don't think there's anything wrong with making money. Consider the average personal car is only in use 5% of the time. People are paying an enormous amount to own, house, and maintain a car that they are barely using.

If they could instead just pay for the 5% of when they are using it and have it go off and be used by other people the rest of the time, it would probably ending being less expensive overall. There would also be fewer cars around.

Yeah, maybe the GM president once told people to own cars. Maybe that was the right thing at the time. Now circumstances have changed and something else makes more sense. Updating your views to account for new information is not a bad thing.

“Authoritarian populism” and “progressive populism” are
widely-used names of particular political ideologies. While their etymology of course relates to the more general sense of, respectively, “authoritarian” and “progressive” in denoting political ideologies, in both cases the definition is not a simple combination of the general sense of one of those terms with the general sense of “populism”, but much narrower. Authoritarian populism is a particular subset of right-of-center populism and progressive populism is a particular subset of left-of-center populism, and they are, in fact, non-overlapping even if, arguably, “progressive” and “authoritarian” are not. (Similarly, “authoritarian populism” arguably is not even a subset of “authoritarianism”, though it at least overlaps with it.)

> See, for example, Venezuela.

“Progressive” and “socialist” aren't mutually exclusive, but neither does the latter imply the former; “progressive” and “authoritarian” might overlap, but Venezuela's government isn't an example as it isn't progressive.
I think it applies to all open source projects.
Mods will do it for you when they wake from their slumbers.
Just a warning for those visiting the US - crosswalks will only give you a false sense of security in many parts of the the country (bigger cities possibly excepted), many drivers pay 0 attention to them. Had a car narrowly miss me last week in a crosswalk, and honked at me as it whizzed by. I've never witnessed any enforcement of these kinds of violations against the drivers, either.
However, every modern C compiler and tools like cmake allow you to use precompiled headers to avoid that step if it is what you want to do.

Yes, they must be testing it. I have encountered it several times. It always makes me close the tab and do something else. Hope they keep it.
1. Because pipenv is easier to use.

2. Because it's not at all clear that pipenv is a third party library. It's made by the same group that makes pip, so it's confusing that pip would be considered a de-facto standard but not pipenv when it's made by the same group, and under the same project in Github.

Would you care to give some examples, what behaviour is so unwelcoming in the tech world?

Did you consider other reasons than sexism for the environment that you perceive as unwelcoming? E.g., I guess the ratio of introverts vs. extroverts is pretty different between Wall Street law firms and software developers.
If you’re spending 40+ hours a week at work and not being able to “focus on your technical skills”, you’re doing it wrong.

I'm confused- what are you listening for? I'm actually trying to listen to you and applying this philosophy that different gender identities require different spaces with my reality that there is a sizeable portion of the population that do not fall strictly on "male" or "female" identity.

When they talk about documents it's more about Google docs (sheets, ...) created internally by employees.

Getting access to personal information within Google is very, very difficult - it's not like you can query the user's sql table and get all the PII.
Everything PII related is highly protected.

Internal documents though are created on a "public to all" basis - e.g. let's say you create a document with some ideas or issues with the next Pixel phone. This doc would be accessible by anyone in the company by default (you can obv change that).

It's an awesome philosophy if everybody plays by the rules and doesn't leak stuff to the outside world.
Sometimes people create "Ideas Docs", "Best practice docs", "Design Docs", "Algo Docs" etc, and then receive feedback from random Googlers which accidentally stumbled upon them.
It's also a fantastic way of knowledge transfer as anyone can look up the design doc for problem X of product Y and read about it.
There's 1400 forks. I'm sure that people will move to one of them if the original is pronounced dead.

I'm not confused. For the ACO, Genetic algorithms,... approaches you still need to show that the tour that was found has the lowest possible length... which you cannot without iterating all tours (or doing a branch and bound, which is the same but you prune bad partial tours early).

Obviously, people typically work with well known problems where the best tour is already known. They then typically determine the quality of their 'solution' as the relative difference to the best tour in some metric.

>I've learned things after being corrected by a teacher, and then I practised on my own until the next mistake, at which point I was corrected again, and so on.

Yeah, that actually makes sense. I suppose with programming (or anything CS related) I had this feedback loop much more readily available in forums, IRC or Stackoverflow etc. so I never really appreciated having this from a teacher. But outside of CS topics it might not be that easy.
> At least Wikipedia disagrees with your view.

This is a strange thing to say, given the definition provided in the link you cite:

Should I simply try to launch in my local city and see if my business model works first?
