Anything between you and sunlight is a large decrease. Heck, hanging at the wrong angle is a big loss. Does the window face the sun directly? Far bigger issue really. And 'directly' doesn't really mean anything since the sun's direction changes constantly.
On linux I normally just use pipx. As long as the package uses proper entry-points it just works.
>Yea exactly and unless you are FB scale you can just run a single docker container and never really have to worry

This has not been the case at multiple employers and or consulting clients.

If you're providing software to an enterprise this almost will never fly. That single docker container will have an outage when basically anything happens. The container dies, systemd fails to restart, node dies, network switch dies, data center has basically any major issue, etc.

I think your comment brings value just probably biased with your own experience of running a consumer to consumer startup.
You know, I can always jump from that cliff. Still keep wondering why don't I do it.
I cannot imagine why anyone would feel anything other than unalloyed delight at the prospect of doing their computing on a used, broken laptop purchased at auction.
Cmon, I live in a country where there is a legal obligation to inform candidates whether they passed the interview. It's not a very high bar. We shouldn't be accepting this kind of behaviour - especially from someone as renowned as Microsoft. It would have been absolutely trivial for them to send a polite three sentence email when they made their decision.

I mean, not to shoot the messenger, you're right, that's exactly what it meant, but it isn't acceptable behaviour.
yes, i went through the first two articles a few while back. i like the idea a lot, but i wish they would offer cards for offline (the author has a great article on srs: http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html)
Years ago when I lived in an apartment I was tempted to build a similar setup. I was going to plug my refrigerator into the inverter, and use a rely to switch back to grid power once the battery was depleted.

Anyway, some kind of rely to switch back to grid power when the battery is depleted would make this really cool.

> It’s not interference in the scenario you’ve described, because there’s no way to tell such a person would have voted against him.

Who they would have voted for isn't actually relevant. The fact that they didn't (in our hypothetical) vote as a result of the FUD is evidence of interference.

If someone was making robocalls telling voters that voting machines in their district weren't to be trusted and some number of people didn't vote, would you consider that to be interference?

> And you can’t ignore the main point, which is voter integrity, which I as a normal American agree with.

What is a "normal American" and why would you say that in this context?

By definition, I'm a "normal American" and I also care about "voter integrity". However, I just have absolutely no reason to believe that mail-in voting, which has been used widely for decades by the select states (blue and red) which allow everyone to do it and by _every_ state which allows for absentee voting, is any less secure than any other method.

If you've seen any of the presentations/POCs from Defcon's Voting Machine Hacking Village, read anything about how easily Diebold machines can be manipulated, etc. I just can't believe you'd make the argument that mail-in voting is less secure in good faith.
we're lucky. Our management is doing it in three phases. Phase 1 People that want to go in.

Phase 2 is encourage.

Phase 3 is require.

And we're not even at phase 1. And, I think they're talking about September for phase 1, maybe.
You can definitely get OK used laptops for $75, that's why I asked that particular clarifying question. I'm wondering if they have any specific models or deals in mind, ideally with a link to an online retailer.
Are you implying that it is an important part of faith to cling to beliefs for which all observable evidence points to the contrary? It seems a bit hard to understand why one would want to pursue such a practice, so I wonder if I'm misunderstanding your point.
Weren’t newspapers and major TV networks in the same position of unelected power as recently as a decade ago?

There has never been “unbiased” media in the USA. Even PBS, NPR, and in other countries the CBC and BBC have been (often quite rightly) accused of bias.

I’m not sure what the ultimate answer to “fair public discourse” is, but “government regulated media” surely isn’t the answer we want.

A real world example would be better. School projects are always filled with arbitrary requirements since you are writing for an audience of one. Maybe the teacher required them implementation to be a class and that you had to memoize the count. In that case the replacement is not the right implementation.

Sorry, I was kinda trolling.

I don't get out much but it doesn't seem likely to me that internal civil strife will actually break out in widespread violence. Who would fight whom, and to what end? A lot of us are mad at each other, sure, but we don't really want to shoot each other. South Park did a whole episode on it.
Something that I have seen is the opportunity to reach higher management levels easier than in smaller companies, and it's a good way to "pump" your CV.

A second tier manager, for example of a few teams, might be parallel to high level manager "outside" and working in FANG is a good way to expedite your career if you are into that.
I know this might be unpopular with OSS idealists, but I wonder if it might be time for a new license, or indeed if there are already (small 'o') open source licenses that would help with this sort of things.

What I'm thinking of is a license almost identical to the MIT and/or Apache 2.0 license, but with a clause that prohibits mega-corps from wholesale rebranding and using your code.

I have a few OSS projects myself, and help maintain a larger one, and I love the spirit of OSS, so I'm a little split on this one. But I don't really think Microsoft's actions here are truely in the spirit of OSS. Yes, the license allows it, but is it aligned with the OSS ethos? Is it "right"?
do you find DDG slower to load than Google? I have a slow mobile data connection, and noticed that DDG was much slower to load than Google. not sure if it is a raw point of presence thing, or if my phone (android chrome) is cheating somehow to load Google faster.

Europe "exists" for thousands of years, most modern country identities and cultures exist for very little less than that ( mine is almost 900 years ).

Compared to Europe, the US is as homogeneous as it can be. Of course it's heterogeneous but at a regional and sometimes city area level with different customs and traditions imported from other countries and "americanized"

The strength of Europe is their independent countries and diverse cultures and every time an enterprising young fella had grandiose ideas it always ends with an absolute bloodbath of apocalyptic proportions.

Generally speaking the ones that want a "fully integrated" Europe are:

1 - Politicians with a manager mentality who like to get frisky with concepts such as "economies of scale", "standardization", "efficiency", etc. Yet they don't know anything of what a society is.

2 - The usual crème-de-la-crème "citizens of the World" who in reality are just old-money rich ignorant "kids" who can't even fathom what an existence of a real "normal" person is.

3 - People from other parts of the World who think Europe is a country

4 - Competing superpowers who root for the destruction of Europe and know very well that their only hope is for it to implode.

The core idea is great, but the details are not. I am looking at something like that for a while and these are the comments:

- the capacity is too low. For something to put on the roof of the car when going somewhere it as at the limit, but the usability is low: to power a few mobile phones a battery bank is much cheaper, to generate electricity for a few days of camping it is too low. For home it is way too low, I would add a few batteries and more panels, maybe 500W for panels and >2k for batteries. If I have a power failure I need something to keep my desktop and fridge running over night and run on solar during the day, that is the minimum where I consider buying, otherwise a UPS will give me more value.

- the price is too high for a gadget and with such a low capacity it is a gadget, not a serious electricity source. Probably a higher price with a lot more capacity is a better deal.
8gb rpi4 just came out today.
Not all camping is backcountry hiking.
If the path to your executable is fixed, just put it in the shebang and you're done - makes everything way more explicit at the cost of some dynamic behavior.

An anecdote: Homebrew uses this method for shipping python executables.
They are easily reachable from the home row. Thus less finger/arm movement.
Thanks for the info. Clearly all my experience in this area is from the perspective of a consumer buying entire modules. I can't say I've ever dived down to the individual chip level.

I'm obviously just one data point, but my Instacart experience was pretty mediocre. Because of how the substitutions work (and there's no live inventory), you pretty much have to be alert and ready to context switch into "grocery substitution" mode the whole time the shopper is picking your food. I don't remember what the fee was, but in the end it wasn't "I absolutely prefer to go to the store myself!" but rather "That was a painful enough experience that next time I'll just go do it myself"
DDG is good enough for me usually. I very rarely find myself using !g to go to google. Usually, when I do it's to see where my own sites rank on google. I do find google better at local search, which makes sense since they know more about me. Like if I want to look up my pharmacy's phone number. It's always the first result in google but I get mixed results from DDG. Overall, Duck is pretty good though.
Yeah, I almost suggested a static method for the common case too. It's nice to have a convenient interface for the simpler use cases.
I highly doubt that they are really pushing for such a thing, because doing so is relatively simple: take it away from corporations. No one in congress I know of is looking to do that.

The Tennessee Valley Authority has some of the best/cheapest broadband access in the United States, all because it doesn't get by on a telephone company's notions of artificial scarcity.
They are certainly not limited to America. You can buy them in many countries - they're common in the stores here in Norway, for example.

Most of the time, you don't need all that, since Python has zipapps. You defined deps, you zip it, you ship to any same os with the same python version. It embeds everything, and just run.

We even how have a nice tool to automate the bundling for you:

https://pypi.org/project/shiv/

Of course you still have to figure out how to get a Python installed on the final machine, that's the price to pay to be an interpreted language.

We don't have yet a story to ship a beautiful exe/dmg/deb/rpm that embeds the zipapp and libpython in an easy way.

Yes many do, actually most I have met do.

The problem is most also don't understand the consequences and possibilities even much less inversive privacy problems allow. Once you explain to them they tend to first care a lot, then are helpless because it seems holes and then at some point give up just because they don't know how to go on with upholding privacy.

But more importantly the bomb if the Snowden revelations was less about privacy inversion but industries espionage. Worse the institution which main purpose include preventing that had helped in it.

How insensitive of you.
Again, do these tools really require a C compiler toolchain? If so, they are completely out of the question - they add much more complexity then they could possibly fix.

Why not just install the required version of Python, maybe from a 3rd party repo if not available in the main repos? Why would I ever want to get a compiler toolchain to get my Python interpreter?
In your analogy the 'test track' is still close enough to a real road - just as a functional backend providing fake data is real enough to test the functionality.
All sorts of reasons:

Prototyping

Speed

Time to Market

Non-techies shouldn't need to care about the HTML/CSS/JS/Whatever of the website, the site just needs to look good for them to use it.

A no-code site (Wix, SquareSpace, Shopify, etc.) may just be enough for them just to get to market without looking too deep into the code.

Just get/buy a template, customise it further (if you've got the skills) and you're ready to go.
It's not always a bad thing. The duck.com domain used to redirect to Google for a long time (they got it in a random acquisition) but now it's been changed to DDG instead. I'm pretty sure that this kind of analysis played a role there. (A more diversified ecosystem in search also helps with fighting SEO spam, which is by far the biggest actual threat to Google Search volume.)
Generally/Ideally things break early in the release cycle, bug reports show up on the mailing lists, and fixes are applied. They are marked with a Fixes tag so as for stable releases to pick them up if relevant.

For basic stuff (as in checking if boards still boot) you have projects like kernelci.org that detect regressions on a huge variety of boards. That said, if you need to support a touchscreen, or say, an uncommon USB device, it's up to you to take care of keeping up with the releases.
Under current rules, on most social media sites, things can be cause for removal without being demonstrably false. What you appear to be suggesting is that only demonstrably false or things like strong language apply.

If you suggest that platforms cannot remove other content, a lot of actions from people like reddit to remove objectionable content are banned, similarly here. Content has been removed from HN for example for "not contributing to the discussion", that's a subjective opinion, but one I'd suggest that site owners are entitled to.

Also when you start getting into very fine grained distinctions (for example have some of the things president trump has said been "demonstrably false" or not?) the chances of a law accurately capturing that requirement in such a way that a massive number of lawsuits are not started are (in my opinion) low.

Opening the door to that kind of lawsuit would seem likely to destroy smaller, less well funded sites, whilst larger players could likely weather the storm.
I might be wrong, but I read this as an apology from a PM that tried to get something done for the guy he based work off, but ended up never managing to because BigCorp got in the way.
He might have felt bad about it and clear part of his conscience, or try to soften the blow.
I wonder if some have a genetic predisposition to bad reactions to psychedelics. My best friend had an LSD reaction similar to yours (increasingly intense hallucinations until falling on the ground and starting to seize). His brother had a bad experience with psilocybin and jumped out a window. I believe a second brother also had a bad experience.

Makes me even more concerned when people talk about psychedelics as a low risk self-treatment for various illnesses. I myself have had a bad trip which resulted in years of anxiety and panic attacks (although after having done psychedelics many times before).

Algo Trading Software Review: Quantacula
The only thing I never understood about conda, is why it does not support packages from pypi.

I mean, the Python community has a standard repository for packages (pypi). You cannot even name a library $something if $something is not available on pypi. Why would I use something
hosted by a private company that does not even interface with
the rest of the community?

This is not an attack on conda. I just cannot understand its rationale.

THE FIRST TWO THINGS BEFORE ACTING

“The first thing to do — don’t get worked up. For everything happens according to the nature of all things, and in a short time you’ll be nobody and nowhere, even as the great emperors Hadrian and Augustus are now. The next thing to do — consider carefully the task at hand for what it is, while remembering that your purpose is to be a good human being. Get straight to doing what nature requires of you, and speak as you see most just and fitting—with kindness, modesty, and sincerity.”
M ARCUS A URELIUS, M EDITATIONS , 8.5

Imagine, for a second, what Marcus’s life as an emperor must have been like. He would preside over the Senate. He would lead the troops in battle, direct the grand strategy of the army as its highest commander. He would also hear appeals—from citizens, from lawyers, from foreign governments. In other words, like most people in power, he was called on to make decisions: all day, every day, decision after decision.

His formula for decision making is a battle-tested method for doing and acting right—literally. Which is why we ought to try to use it ourselves.

First, don’t get upset—because that will color your decision negatively and make it harder than it needs to be.

Second, remember the purpose and principles you value most. Running potential actions through this filter will eliminate the bad choices and highlight the right ones.

Don’t get upset.

Do the right thing.

That’s it.

Instacart nominally does this, and then the shopper went ahead and gave me bad substitutions anyway. I mentioned in another comment here that you're getting real-time notifications about substitutes while they're shopping (there's no real-time inventory available, so they discover an out-of-stock item when they go to grab it). If you don't answer their substitution question quickly enough, they'll just make a decision (skip, pick the sub you asked for, pick a random similar item).
For me, the problem with green energy certificates is as soon as my government set itself a target for green energy, they made a bunch of really sketchy classifications in order to hit their own target.
"The discovery still leaves much of the universe undetected. About 85 per cent of its matter is thought to be "dark matter" — that which is undetectable using ordinary methods."

If I understand the abstract, it reports finding "Ωb=0.051+0.021−0.025h−170 (95 per cent confidence; h70 = H0/(70 km s−1 Mpc−1) " which I think means 5% of the total (mass+dark matter+dark energy), since cosmology assumes Omega total = 1.0
Oddly, I don't find WA to be great. WA can do complex math, but it's slow. To give a good example of what I've come to expect from all three, type "2 feet + 2 meters" into:

* WA: You'll get a correct result, but it takes 4 seconds.

* Google: 0.185806 square meters, obviously (instantly)

* DDG: Search results

Curiously, I find Google's to be the most helpful. I see the obviously incorrect result and instantly fix it. DDG gives me nothing. WA is too slow to e.g. play around with numbers.

My last computation was trying to figure out which bolt to get for a hole (with McMaster's selections for both bolts and, at some level, holes). I was converting hole sizes / bolt sizes between metric and imperial, and between fraction and decimals, playing around until I found a combo which worked. Once I had Google giving the right answers, I could play around until it worked. With WA, I would have had to wait 4 seconds each time.

By the time I'm doing anything beyond that, it's generally in numpy. There isn't really a spot for WA in between.

It seems like your automated example allows a welfare state to provide a better quality of life than we currently enjoy. Having people do pointless jobs for the same income at that point seems inherently worse.
