well, for starters, it's published on france24.com, that's a pretty good hint that it is the work of a journalist.

I believe one shouldn't regulate _all speech_ (e.g. company press releases, or scientific publications); but I think it's fair to regulate reporting, to some extent. And you can even have a somewhat wide definition of "reporting" (e.g. if you collect audience size metrics (e.g. in order to get revenue from advertising), and your audience is greater than X, then you are reporting).
I suspect most Python users simply don't know anything else. That's how they got introduced to programming, and unless someone holds their hand again, they will never use anything else.

Also, many devs who work in Python in fact hate it. Python is so popular, it's foisted onto people.

In some jobs, you have to interact with Python from time to time, even if you don't develop in it.
I'm not threatened by anyone's preferences, if you want to live in a city that's great - I live in the centre of a small city (300k people?) right now. I wasn't specifically talking about the linked article either, I have seen a lot of articles in recent years in the UK taking an anti-suburban line.

What I'm drawing attention to is that the bien pensant class in the UK seem to have started to tell us it's wrong to want the life that people have aspired to before. And that this is something we saw some decades before with brutalism, pushing people into spaces that designers and architects wanted them, not places they wanted to be themselves. There seems to be a desire amongst some architects and planners to push people towards their ideals of higher density housing, in particular, trading out much in the way of private space to much more social living.

Not everyone wants that. It's not wrong to want to live in smaller urban spaces with that trade-off, but it's not wrong not to buy into it either.

It’s not even in System32, it’s in %localappdata%\WindowsApps. Which is also where other appx packages you install put their PATH shortcuts. Upside is, you can disable the behavior (by binary) in Settings, but then you have to hope that isn’t overridden next time someone needs to bump up their Python download numbers.
"U.S. greenhouse gas emissions have been trending downwards for the past 12 years, thanks to a power sector transforming through more gas, less coal, more renewable generation, and greater efficiency.... it would be more difficult for the U.S. to meet the targets outlined in the Paris climate agreement .... U.S. emissions from the transport, industrial, residential, commercial, and agriculture sectors aren’t on track to meet the Paris commitment of keeping global temperature rise below 2° Celsius."

i visualized that last bit in my head. It made me smile.

Obviously there is an element that will connect with some, and definitely not with others, here. If you have it, you know. It can't be explained.

For me, that's the best part of your writing. Thank you
"Facts about races make people racist."

Above is a perfect example of "soft bigotry of low expectations" from racist leftists.

Leftist are obsessed with race because they're projecting racists. Change my mind.
Why can't I have a conversation about Capitalism without people putting out how much worse the USSR is/was? I'm not saying your wrong but we can talk about the failings of our country without whataboutism to "defend it".

Capitalism is too broad a concept to boil it down to a short description. My argument is about what Capitalism lead to the greed and moral failings of our country. Capitalism is so en-grained in the American way of life its hard to separate the two. Our style of government lead to more and more greedy people doing more and more underhanded things to make a profit and thus in turn maintaining that profit. America is pointed out as the shining example of how successful Capitalism is as a form of government and its not.

You point to the failings of the USSR to protect its environment and ignore our own. Yes we have an EPA which is a good step, but our form of government enabled private citizens and corporations to essentially purchase the ability to pollute. To put chemicals in our food and water that was cheap, but necessarily safe. Our country is failing just as poorly at protecting its citizens health and environment as the USSR. We just have the ability to point to the EPA and say we are trying harder so that's good enough. Its not,

The EPA has refused to add a single chemical to its watch list for public water since the clean water act of 1972. Our water standards are based on science that is almost 50 years old. If you think its because in those 50 years we haven't learned anymore about health, then i have a bridge to sell you. Its because updating those standards would cost money and not have any direct monetary benefit in return, because we live in a country/exist in a form of government that prioritizes profit over the health of its own citizens.
Yes, my understanding is that it would take a mistake in the process to introduce a toxin. The tanks are dedicated to argon over their lifetimes, though they do have a complicated chain of custody. For food-grade argon they do check for safety.

My sense is that I'd be better off avoiding all plastics (not feasible in this world) than waiting for food-grade argon. But yes, this is a decision each person should make.

Just that :D

Since Greek yogurt is acidic, the product will transform the tartness to sweetness and amplify the flavor.

You can add some raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc for an extra pop of flavor.

> [by treating everybody as infected] you'd eliminate Covid in two months

Not to mention a ton of other illnesses. I do wonder if “the world’s governments pay everybody to stock up on food and stay home for two months” would actually be a huge win for humanity, and maybe even in the short-term it would work out cheaper than two years of 75%-lockdown :P
Is baldness uncommon in Japan?

While this one was done in Rust, I keep thinking someone will eventually come around with a QuickBasic to WASM compiler, written in QB64. :)
Yeah, now that you pointed out, it does look ugly. I created an issue: https://github.com/prince-mishra/the-constitution-of-india/i... to track this one.
I anyway plan to rewrite all commits with corrected time and author info; will be a good time to rename files as well.
Reading a couple of times, my best interpretation is that the degree sign ° got mangled into 0. So the phrases should be: "water temperatures of 15–35 °C best satisfied physiological needs. Water temperatures above 35° or below 15 °C resulted in a reduction in water consumption".

TFA implies that most remote work will not be full-time remote. Therefore many of the same frictions of changing jobs now will still exist.
Japan is extremely racist, but generally in that "clueless Uncle" kind of way, not the "actual malicious dislike" way of say, China right now.

Societal acceptance is an enormous aspect of Japanese society. It isn't "fascism", its their culture. Japanese people like diversity in the same way extremely wealthy American liberal people like diversity. Its a great idea that almost everyone will openly back... right up until you tell them you're going to re-locate a lot of diverse peoples around their homes. Then you see the backpedaling.
100%, what is even crazier to me is that (at least before covid) the US rates of families moving had declining and was at the lowest point it had been for over 100 years. The modern style of home ownership (30 year mortgage, house in the suburbs, local control of land use) has really deeply screwed up many economic feedback mechanisms that in previous generations powered the economic engine of the US. The economic history of our nation is a history of people moving east to west to new opportunity (both 100s of years ago to farm the land, extract resource and displace native peoples, and today to move to high productivity jobs near low cost housing in sunbelt cities), as well as people moving south to north to flee the Jim Crow south and a rentier economy based on the dispossession of black farmers. It should be easier to move, we should reintroduce the modern equivalent of "boarding houses", and the lowest tier of housing in urban centers should be much less expensive.
Disagreeing is racist, homophobic, sexist, etc.

If you have any opinion not belonging to the loudest angriest group, then you get all the labels and worse.
A future rural home will have off-grid power (solar + power wall), off-grid internet (starlink) and off-grid water is already solved. Why again do I need to be packed and stacked?

And why do we keep talking about urban life as aspirational? Many of those currently leaving SF and NYC are wealthy enough to move on a whim. These aren't flights of desperation. Why are wealthy people leaving?
Some of the comments seem to be suggesting that this is because of some Japanese quirk of requiring extreme uniformity far above what is required in other countries but it really isn't; it's essentially just laziness on the part of schools. The real reason for these rules is that (as with schools in many other countries for better or worse) Japanese schools don't want their students, who mostly have black hair, to dye their hair brown or other colors.

However, since the vast majority of the students naturally have black hair it's just MUCH easier to write the rules to say that in the rare cases where a student has another hair color they have to dye it black rather than trying to argue with students who have dyed "chapatsu" brown hair but then claim that that's really their natural hair color when it isn't.

Some schools like high schools in Osaka have a system where students with natural colors other than black are supposed to register so the school can record their natural hair color to know that they aren't dying it.

It's pretty dumb and it sucks for the students who naturally have brown hair but it's easy for the school to be lazy and take the approach of just requiring all the students to have black hair.
Interesting, I am Czech and I only hear about it here on HN. But it is plausible, Czechs reeeeally like dogs and love to train them.

I wonder if an artificial nose could be constructed doing the same thing. Smell is a potential diagnostic tool.

For example, it seems that certain people can smell Parkinson's disease and that the biomarkers have actually been identified:

https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/presspacs/2019/...

We are not very good, as a civilization, in artificial smelling. Being humans, we develop machines that try to 'see' and 'hear'. A canine civilization would probably develop a smell-distinguishing AI first.
Is pipenv still being patched? When I moved to Poetry, I did because there were outstanding issues for pipenv that made it bug out with my setup (pretty sure it was a WSL thing?) but the maintainer hadn’t committed anything in months and wasn’t accepting PRs.

Poetry has been solid, at least lately.
The winner would be us, as we have more to choose from, and since RISC-V is open nothing much will stop non-Chinese manufacturers from also making their versions. We may see a reverse version of the familiar Chinese tech cloning in this case.

I wouldn't call it racist. You are genuinely an oddity if you're not japanese and not a tourist.

Racism is a deeper thing. True racism exists in some form between the chinese and the japanese due to the horrific atrocities committed by the japanese in the rape of nanking.

If you think people have “oppressed” needs caused by the rules around them, perhaps you should reassess which aspects of your own life are oppressed.
I wouldn't call the distinct African-American culture "Anglo-Saxon". It is instead rooted in the historical experience that black people have had. The black identity was already formed during the slavery period and incorporates elements of African, European, and Native American culture.

Similarly, just because people speak English does not make their culture "Anglo-Saxon". There are many different cultural practices that coexist in America whose origins do not originate from North Western Europe.
How does dyeing your hair damage it permanently? Doesn't seem possible to me since it just regrows.
> To implement any of the above, while studiously avoiding anything making explicit the fact that the interpretation of the bytes as a sequence of glyphs is an intended, necessary and separable step on the way, would be bizzarre and tendentious.

Codepoints are not glyphs. Nor are any useful operations generally performed on glyphs in the first place. Almost all interpretable operations you might want to do are better conceived of as operating as substrings of arbitrary length, rather than glyphs, and byte substrings do this better than unicode codepoint sequences anyway.

So I contest the position that interpreting bytes as a glyph sequence is a viable step at all.

Dynamic headlines or articles sound terrifying. Look at where the content surfacing algorithms of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have gotten us in terms of divisiveness. Changing the article actual content based on the desires of the reader just seems wrong. Different people end up with different analyses on the same story. This happens already naturally. I fear doing so artificially will lead to no good.
> There are no operations on sequences of Unicode code points that are more correct than an analogous operation on bytes.

Wow. I wonder how you arrived at this point. You can't, for example, truncate a UTF-8 byte array without the risk of producing a broken string. But this is only the start. Here are two strings, six letters each, one in NFC, the other in NFD, and their byte-length in UTF-8:

"Åström" is 8 bytes in UTF-8

"Åström" is 10 bytes in UTF-8

If your software tells the user that one is eight and the other is 10 letters long, it is not "less correct". It is incorrect. Further, if searching for "Åström" won't find "Åström", your software is less useful than it could be if it knew Unicode. (And it's sad how often software gets this wrong.)
I am not sure is racist is the best qualifier. I'd rather think of the Japanese society as most xenophobic.

P.S. Now, if you are black, yeah that's racism.
Thanks! Exactly, "current value" + 1 is a "must have"
Very likely. The focus stacking software (such as Helicon) can output the 3d object in addition to the stacked image
You pick the thread implementation, but clearly a virtual thread would be more appropriate. And yes, join is semantically the same as await, but it fits with the design of the platform. And also yes, there are convenience methods for spawning threads and joining them, such as ExecutorService.invokeAll/invokeAny.
Yeah, these rules might not have bad intention but they get dicey when you broaden who they apply to.

I never forgot this story from 2018 about a black police officer suing over a requirement to be clean-shaven every day.

> Officers have to be clean cut, except for mustaches or short sideburns. Joseph Lewis, a six-year vet of the force, however, suffered from razor bumps, which made it painful to shave. The condition is common in about 60 percent of African-American men or people with coarse, curly hair, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.

You would think that the logical thing to rally against would be neo-nazi behaviour instead of hairdos. Of course the former is much harder to detect & enforce than the latter. So instead we pick a terrible proxy to identify unwanted behaviour. A few iterations later, anyone who doesn't fit a narrow set of criteria is immediately suspicious.
In the US, such laws provide students recourse after they've been punished, thrown out of sporting events, etc. Schools and sports associations often update their policies after such events get broadly publicized. But no, the law doesn't prevent it altogether.
Afaik the US military used to mandate a buzzcut for new recruits that was recently dropped because it causes a lot of issues for black recruits (curly hair).
To put it simply, yes. Their pills take 5-10 minutes to dissolve. That's all good for the party trick they are advertising, but if you're rushing to get to work or get your kids to school you don't have the time nor patience to wait that long.

My product takes only 30 seconds - 10x faster than the competition. It is the only convenient miracle berry product. It may not form a habit with everyone, but I do have customers who use it daily for their dieting. It helps them to satisfy their sweet tooth, enjoy foods they otherwise wouldn't, or get a fussy child to eat fruits, veggies, dairy, fish, etc.

To say this is a powdered version of mBerry is a bit of a simplification because miracle fruit is highly unstable so it took me about a year to formulate something that would retain its flavor and texture longer than a few days.
>We don’t know why. If I were to guesss, due to the use of plastics with our food.

What evidence do you have to dismiss the (IMO much, much more plausible) idea that it's just men becoming more sedentary, moving and exercising less?

Also... I agree w/ one of the other commenters that declining testosterone does not appear to be an obstacle to couples intentionally trying to conceive, so I would be very hesitant to (essentially) blame plastic in food for declining population.
I think such concerns don't have merit because:

1. an open-source project which is hard to use, would not gain any traction in first place.

2. If open source maintainer had a sizeable amount of users, and wanted to make money off it, they would put the project behind a paywall.

Pulling the kind of shady stuff you mentioned is too much effort for little benefit. Plus it will be easily caught anyway.

As an aside, onlysponsors is trying to address a real issue in open source world: helping open source maintainers find sustainable income.

Even if this is not a perfect solution, it is likely a step in right direction

I tried the beta version recently, and it really does work. Pretty incredible.
I went to a school with a strict uniform code. The hall monitor would check for well polished shoes(white canvas shoes on mondays, black leather/faux leather rest of the days. The faux leather was a religious exemption, but they didn’t care as long as the girls wore Mary Jane type shoes. Boys had a different design), nails(no long untrimmed nails or polish).

Having said that..we had free rein over hair. As long as it was not loose and plaited neatly, any style is fine. We could wear flowers in our hair and earrings as this was in India and there were social/cultural/religious reasons for girls wearing jewelery, flowers and even henna on our hands.

Also: Fridays were non uniform days for grades 5 and lower. And you can wear anything you want on your birthday..all grades.

We still had to march to class and up the stairs from daily outdoor morning assembly(20-30 minutes or so) everyday to the music of a band! Prayer, reading of daily news, thought of the day, school announcements, school sports team announcements and national anthem before dispersing in ‘an orderly fashion’. And by that, I mean..we had to march to class in a line(class lines were in height order)

When I tell this to kids these days, they think I am pulling their legs. And I thought my school was being strict!!
> you get a wider range of product ideas coming from all parts of the org

> you're only testing your products against white people

I think these depend strongly on the kind of software you're building. This may be a benefit if you're building a highly user-facing consumer app, a TikTok kind of thing. It's less likely to be useful if you're building an interbank payment platform.
Per the article’s side bar, the astronaut was working through “How to Design Programs”, a book by several of the Racket contributors, including the article’s author, Shriram Krishnamurthi. As far as teaching languages go, scheme does have the advantage of having almost no punctuation to mess up. And DrRacket is a wonderfully beginner-friendly environment.

I guess Hacker News might qualify as a real-world use of scheme/homoiconicity? I believe it runs on Arc, which runs on Racket. https://github.com/wting/hackernews

Anecdote about tasting: A few years ago, I went on a diet due to some allergy issues. Since I was going to be pretty miserable anyway, I decided to reduce my sugar and salt intake as well. At the beginning it was pretty bad, eating very bland tasting food every day. But after a while, that normalized. And everything started tasting a lot better, and just a tiny bit of salt would enhance the taste.

Of course the downside was that that was like getting off a drug that all of society is addicted to. Anything I didn't cook myself from fresh ingredients tasted extremely salty or extremely sweet. Eating a Snickers bar was like biting into a block of pure sugar and just felt very wrong. Going to a restaurant was tricky because you can't exactly take the salt out of a meal or extract the sugar from a dessert.

I think we can adjust to many things... which is why I'd love to try this thing, but I wouldn't want to be in the position where I can't eat certain things without it anymore...
