I think it's easy to do notebooks wrong, but possible to do them right. I try and do quick prototyping in notebook cells before moving it off to a separate .py file, and avoid keeping any code that does anything other than visualisation or parameter setting inside a cell long-term. That way, if you need to run something "in production" (whatever that means in your context), you don't end up having to pick apart and re-write your code -- you just import the .py file you wrote along the way.

For me, notebooks are a super handy way of visualising and sharing results during meetings, and it's difficult to imagine a more convenient alternative.

Meaning you focus more on integration/e2e testing over unit tests?

That jives with my own inclinations. I’m ok with much lower unit test coverage levels on the UI where I can use something like Cypress or Robot over just testing functions.

Not a company, but sharing a personal project: I got a free broken 55" TV and turned it into a big daylight panel. I got a great explanation of why this works well (fresnel lens) from the DIY Perks channel on YouTube: Turning Smashed TVs into Realistic Artificial Daylight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JrqH2oOTK4).

The main board had failed so the screen was black and the backlight cycled on and off. After disconnecting the main board, the backlight stayed on. I am using the existing LED lights, but may replace them with the excellent color quality LEDs recommended by DIY Perks.

As awful as the theft of wealth was, the bigger crime was the prevention of industrialization. India was directly stopped by britain from industrializing because britain didn't want a competitor and rather wanted to use india for resources to power its industrialization. China directly somewhat, but mostly indirectly was prevented from industrialization by western powers ( and eventually japan ) who destabilized china and seized its major ports, industries, resources, etc.

If india and china were able to free itself and industrialize when japan did, india and china would easily have the two largest economies in the world today. It's disheartening thinking about all the wealth, knowledge, goods, discoveries etc the world missed out because of shortsighted greed and brutality.

I use batocera linux in my old desktop for a very capable retro-games machine. It's a little bulkier than the tipical Raspberry Pi + retropie installation, but beats it's performance and comes for free.
I get that, but after all it's not really Apple's choice what their buyers do with their devices. If they overwhelmingly decide the iPad is a nice base for this kind of application, Apple can either embrace that decision and cater to these customers (of which a good part are obviously ready to at least pay more than those $200 for the cheap Android tablet option, probably because of better update support as suggested by that other comment alongside this one) or try to make the device appealing to other target markets that they'd like to be in.

But when those other markets don't really take the bait, at some point it might be a good idea to accept that there is a market, but in a somewhat different place than originally anticipated.
iPad succeeds in these examples because it's a consistent environment with updates.

The problem with the cheap Android tablet is that unless the entire world standardises on a single model of tablet for these purposes you'd have all kinds of quirks around hardware, etc. Updates are also another issue even on premium-priced Android devices, so the cheap one is a lost cause.

Storage spaces are not a RAID though, their purpose is to allow you to have a pool and manage it easier, the same thing in linux is LVM.

GTK, QT, wxWidgets all support accessibility. And Cocoa/UWP are not the end all, be all of platforms where one might want an accessible GUI program. Making three different GUI codebases is right out, IMO, for most cases I'm looking at, and libraries that have zero support for accessibility don't get a pass (thus I have no interest in any imgui solution, as they are inimical to accessible UI).

The news about Qt unfortunately mean I have to consider whether to put effort into upgrading the toolkit I have to Qt5 (or wait for Qt6 but still have a sword of damocles over me) :/

Yeah, but see, I have this shiny hammer, and if I squint just right, everything looks like a nail!

The seasonal trends in the programmer world get kinda tiring after a while, and the people peddling the latest hot new thing equally so, such as this thinly veiled promo piece for nanonets.

In science, there's this concept of falsifiability. If a theory can't be disproven, it's automatically false. The same goes for technological evangelism. If no-one knows what a piece of tech is bad at, how the hell would you know if it's any good at anything, really? There are no panaceas, no one-tool-to-rule-them-all, no single piece of tech that will usher in a new golden age for programmerkind. They're just tools in a toolbox. Know what each tool is good at. Know what each tool is bad at. Don't forget your old tools, just because the newest tool is still very shiny.

Platitudes, I know, but still.
"More than 340 tech workers at Amazon used the hashtag #AMZNSpeakOut in public statements that condemn the company for not taking sufficient action on the climate crisis."

340 whole workers?

So 749,660 employees did not protest? Shouldn't that be the real news?

> It wasn't bullshit. Generally, the merchants and voyagers who reached china were in awe.

Well, this was after Rome, and while after the middle ages, still before the industrial revolution.

> It was why europeans wanted to get to china in the first place and not the other way around.

The reason why Europe explored more during that time says more about China than Europe.

"Even decades after the opium wars, europeans were still in awe even while burning and pillaging."

Why should they? Even if they are writings about "superior culture" from that time, we had Roman writers write too about "superior Germanic culture" (bellum germanicum).
By the way, do you know why the Opium war happened? Besides having the inferior technology on the Chinese side? Do you know what the reasons was? It should be a warning to China today.
I don't think you've got the right conclusion. The earlier estimate of the total cases was too low.

Probably the newer estimate of total cases is ALSO biased too low. The reason for underestimate is they are assuming international surveillance found all exported cases. The paper describes this shortcoming:

The estimates contained in this report have been constantly growing with respect to older
versions compiled with the data available at previous dates. This is because the number of
detected cases at International locations and a travel history from Wuhan city has nearly
tripled in the last week. It is worth stressing that this is not implying that the epidemic is
growing at the same rate. The estimated size of the outbreak refers to all cases occurred in
the area since the beginning of the outbreak, and notification and detection delays may play
an important role that, at the moment, do not allow the evaluation of the epidemic growth
rate.
Antarctica melting: Journey to the 'doomsday' glacier
Edit: nearly forgot this - I would love to see some analysis on the net CO2 balance after covering the Atlantic in algae, then transporting it all into trenches and buying it. I also assume this will kill almost all other life in that ocean. If you are of the opinion that this action will save the rest of the world's wildlife, then I suppose it's a trade that can be made.

The unsustainable part of modern life is not the fuel used, it's the sheer number of miles the average person travels, and the miles travelled by the items they purchase (and the number of those items). The modes of tranport you described are incredibly efficient, used properly. Just to pick one example, modern passenger jets get 80mpg+ per person. If you really have to fly a long way (for example, to a climate conference!) it's better to fly than to drive, unless you give a few other people a ride. You'll also need some fast way to ship your replacement protein, unless you are lucky enough to live in certain parts of the world.
It's not necessarily about who's turn it is, or what's "just". It's about driving rules that are crystal clear, that will end up maximizing traffic flow, clarifying r-o-w order, and minimizing time of conflict.

>Not my fault I don't want to go 20+ over.

No, but I think that people see it this way is part of the problem. It becomes a sort of moral game of chicken, with one side thinking one rule is more important, and vice versa. It shouldn't be debatable. Both sides should automatically know who has r-o-w without thinking, even if the rule is arbitrary. The entire system operates around this premise.

And because speed is always going to be a personal sliding scale (maybe 5 over is ok but 20 isn't), the simplest, most practical, consistent resolution (whether "fair" or not) is to yield the lane to the passer behind you.

Look at it this way: You wouldn't worry about momentary speed to pass someone on a two lane road, if you needed to. You'd focus on getting past and getting over before the oncoming traffic gets to you. It should be the same way on multi-lane highways, even if the traffic is overtaking instead of oncoming. That's why it's called the passing lane.
It seems to also include a gateway component you run on a public machine that brokers ssh access to machines behind nat.

So you could piece together your own with ssh tunnels, or a VPN, and a web terminal. I assume the appeal is that's done for you.

The docs are pretty light though, with a lot of typos. It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that it's done in a secure way.

There are lots of software jobs where the 'skills' are equally interchangeable. Most programmers aren't in a position to negotiate a rate based on the scarcity of their skills; they have to negotiate based on the market rate, which is set by supply and demand under fungibility od the good (or service, in this case). That is not to say that those services are 100% fungible, but a lot closer to 100 than to 0.
Updates themselves are an assumption. I imagine a large percentage of cafe checkout and meeting room booking tablets are never updated once installed.

The distinction here is Appliance vs Computing Platform. And so far many tablets are seen as appliances, not computers.

It's weird, the shelves are as empty as you could hope for in a liquidation scenario and there's just crap left. Continuing to pay rent to try get rid of a few hard to sell pieces of old tech or low value items like phone cases is definitely past the point of being sensible.

So I think someone in management genuinely believes suppliers will come around to supplying them goods with payment on sale, despite all evidence to the contrary
Honestly, I don’t think it was transmitted by eating these wild animals. This might just be a bunch of nonsense.

When you cook something, it tends to kill the virus and germs. Or at least makes it safer to consume. But, you can still get sick from the fluidic contact, like getting salmonella from handling raw chicken.

Let’s take a look at some scientific evidence.

Ebola was theorized to come from bat feces, that might have fallen on a toy, and a girl put it into her mouth. She didn’t eat the bat. (This is only a theory, as they don’t know the true origin.)

The MERS virus from the Middle East, was thought to come from sick camel. I haven’t heard of the locals there eating camel, so it must have transmitted via fluidic contact. (Again, this is only a theory, as they don’t know the true origin.)

SARS was theorized to come from bats as the carrier, but the vector was a civet. Maybe the infected fluids of the civet jumped to humans. (And again, this is only a theory, as they really don’t know the true origin.)

This 2019-nCoV is again thought to come from bats, but the vector is currently unknown.

So with all that, I think perhaps, a bat was a carrier, and got some other animal sick, which became the vector. And when they slaughtered the sick animal, the infected fluid must’ve infected a worker, who got sick. And this worker might’ve infected an old person, who has a weaker immune system, and got sick, who then transmitted it to others, and got them sick, and now we have a full-blown pandemic.

So, the true cause here, might not be that people ate the wild animal, but that the humans came into contact with infected fluids from wild animals. And the presence of bats and wild animals, at this Wuhan market, just increased the probability that an outbreak like this could happen.

As a thought experiment, in Texas, there are a bunch of bats in Austin. What if one of these bats are also a carrier of some disease, and they fly over a nearby chicken farm, and poops on the chicken, which gets the chickens sick. The chickens are now the vector. And now, these sick chickens are handled by humans, and the above scenario plays out in Texas. And then, a pandemic spreads out from Texas. Would you think that Americans are disgusting for consuming chickens here, if this theoretical scenario were to happen?
Few years ago, when building a chatbot for an Austrian telecommunication provider, we noticed that none of the available test automation frameworks was really helping us in testing and training. So we started to build something from scratch, published it on Github, gave it the name "Botium" (Selenium for Websites, Appium for Apps, Botium for Bots ...), and 50k awesome developers downloaded it.

We gave it a pluggable architecture to work with all relevant Conversational AI and NLP/NLU providers out there, made it DevOps- and TestOps-friendly with a CLI and bindings to most loved test runners out there (Mocha, Jest, Jasmine, ...), and still the whole stack is Open Source on Github - thanks to our awesome community and cooperations with ISVs.

Curious to hear your thoughts on the topic - clearly, testing a Conversational AI holds some special challenges for you in regards of test coverage and test levels (API vs E2E).

This is unfortunatelly very true - Ipads have the best oen latency from mobile tablet devices & good software ecosystem (Procreate, etc.), likely thanks to overall more $$$ in iOS software development.

There are Android tablets with precise pen support, but especually the cheaper ones don't have that good pen precision (jitter, lag) and also the available drawing software is not as advanced as on the iPad & powerful ossdesktop drawig tools such as Krita or Mypaint are not yet ported to Android.

So in the end I basically had to get the top of the line Android tablet (Galaxy Tab S6) to get something comparable, where the manufacturer dumped so much mone so that some got also to the pen support & it would be working correctly. And so far so good. :)
