PDM – Python Development Master
OK, but it does manage the versions of transitive dependencies, and there's nothing in that process stopping deterministic builds.

Adding/removing top level dependencies over time does require the use of two files (the top level requirements and the frozen/locked requirements which lists everything). Or you can list the top level requirements in setup.py and let requirements.txt be the lockfile. It would be nice if pip managed this lockfile automatically, but I'm not really interested in adding any of these newer tools to my toolchain just to manage a lockfile.

There are many packaging and distribution frustrations in Python, I don't think pip's management of dependency lists is one of them
Hi, I’m with RStudio.

We generally treat “working in RStudio but not elsewhere” as serious bugs, especially in our open source R packages. Not only because we don’t want to artificially limit usage of other interactive environments, but because a lot of what people do with R is run their code in non-interactive settings like CI/CD pipelines or ETL jobs.

(Actually, an R Markdown compilation is a particularly good example of something people often do from Travis or GitHub Actions)

I've had the same intuitive reaction regarding web office suites, noticing people gravitating to those over the years. Google docs for simple things involving wider distribution, and then to O365 for more complex things with smaller distribution.

At the same time, I've always wondered about the collision of office software with issues around decentralization versus centralization.

For instance, when I've thought about why I resort to the web-based suites, it's usually because of backup and collaboration. But when I think about it, there's no reason that you can't just specify some cloud-based automatic backup in a desktop app, and it's been puzzling to me that LibreOffice or someone similar doesn't try to integrate some kind of decentralized file sharing stuff like syncthing into the editing workflow. It just seems like there should be tractable ways to provide the same backup and collaboration services without having the software all sitting on MS (or Google) servers. Why not transfer the collaboration algorithms to some generic cloud server you specify, or in the context of decentralized storage?

With really large documents and lots of editors, the web suites in my experience can become unworkable. I personally think there's some big opportunities for something like LO or another open-source office suite to really shake things up in terms of decentralization features. Maybe I'm just missing things, but so far I haven't really seen them.
It doesn't make them correct but it means that we've got a pretty gigantic societal issue to deal with.
Has anyone made that claim? I've always heard it as "without decisive action over the next ten years, the planet will get increasingly bad and eventually impossible to save (due to positive feedback effects like CO2 trapped in melting arctic ice)."

The Outsider: How CEO-for-Hire Turned Snowflake into Software’s Biggest-Ever IPO
Yeah, I think I over-reacted to the introductory line of 'Ever needed to wire up a confirmation dialog in React?' which colored my reading of the article.

The author explained that it's just a hook to introduce the concept of state machines, but this kind of complexity seems to be cheered on, and you'll easily find code like this, or worse, in production apps.
At first I mostly followed the lecture structure of the previous professor, but over the years I streamlined it a lot, emphasized a "motivated" approach to each topic (e.g. "last chapter we did this, now we try to do this thing, it doesn't quite work, how can we fix it?"), and generally refined and simplified the explanations of everything. Teaching the same material year after year was a fantastic opportunity to identify the recurring sticking points and finding ways around them.

Oh, for goodness' sake. I've already agreed that this is the case. I just don't think it means our society is based on respecting other people's freedom to choose. Are you not even reading what I post?

> In a society I'm proposing, those kind of choices aren't able to be thrusted on a person because the idea that you can choose for someone is removed.

Since you and I don't even agree on what "choice" means, I think we need to taboo that word for this discussion, because to me, what you are saying here looks like pure sophistry given as an excuse to allow you to do whatever you want to people without their consent--in other words, as I said, tyranny worse than the worst tyranny in history. The rest of your post has the same problem.

Elsewhere in this discussion, you said that if I had cancer, you would rearrange my brain if you thought it would cure the cancer. And I asked you a question in response. Your answer to that question will help me to understand whether the issue we are having here is just a matter of a difference in terminology, or a fundamental difference in viewpoint. You can respond where I asked the question, or here.

I assume by your description that you do not consider identity politics to be a contributor for polarization?

It might just be a coincident, but from my perspective, the more aggressive rhetoric and polarization by the right coincided very close to period when the political discussion shifted focused towards gender and race being the top political issues by the left. I could be wrong, but what I remember of before that period, the political discussion was mostly on wars, taxes, social support, and abortion. Scandals had occurred before during elections, but no where near the scale and impact that we have seen in the last 10 years.

They do?

Apple gives away a pretty decent browser with their OS.

Microsoft gives away a version of Chrome with their OS (and for MacOS).

Most Linux versions ship with variants of Chromium.

Except in science this is largely untrue. There is very little Stanford can teach you about computer science that Berkeley can’t.

How did things get this bad? The Axioms of linking (2019)
Bernie Sanders might well have won the Democratic nomination in 2016, if the party structure hadn't intervened for Hillary. And Bernie wasn't even a Democrat. That's almost exactly symmetric to the Republican situation, except that the Democratic Party had both mechanisms and the will to avoid such an insurgency, and the Republican Party didn't.
Most of my work is per contract on which I've usually signed a non-disclosal.
I think I have the same feelings as you about the Democrats' spinelessness, but a disagreement about what a more robust approach entails.

> standing up for decency without needing to pass a law is at least as big a deal as a tan suit.

"Standing up for decency" is completely meaningless. The Republicans do not think in those terms, and neither do their voters. They want their agenda passed and they will use the means at their disposal to achieve that. That is exactly what I want Democrats to do. What I view as "spineless" is the Democrats' insistence on continuing to abide by norms that their opponents have long since abandoned in the hopes of a return to comity. It is not going to happen.

My view is that the only way to defeat the Republicans is to enact left-wing policies that are broadly popular, e.g. stimulus checks, medicare expansion, etc., and thus eat away at the foundation of immiseration, precarity and alienation that is the root cause of rising social tensions.

I don't think that the Democrats are, as a party, capable of doing that (or even desire to), which is why the outlook is so bleak.
Then the advertisers need to trust the first parties.

New York and Massachusetts are getting close: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/abortion-extremism-i.... Plenty of Democrats believe it should be entirely a medical decision. (You can find a doctor willing to do anything, of course, the 20th century had taught us.)

The current status quo of elective abortions to 24 weeks is already extreme. Few countries have generally legalized abortion past the first trimester (absent health, etc.), and less than 30% of Americans support it. (Why the developed world tends to draw the line there is obvious to anyone whose been to an 18 week ultrasound.)
Renting a car or house is very different from renting money.

When you rent out a car, there are many logistics involved, and there needs to be work done to upkeep the car or house (maintenance, repairs, etc.). The asset itself is consumed. There is risk involved, and the "lender" (the asset owner) is not guaranteed profit (the house might burn down or the car might get totaled). Being a landlord is not easy.

Compare that to money, which Islam sees as a means to an end, not as an ultimate goal in and of itself (that doesn't mean that Islam is against gaining wealth, on the contrary, as long as the wealth is gathered and spent in good, there is a lot of reward for it).

Money when lent out is never consumed. It's an abstract thing that the lender is contractually owed it plus the lending fee (interest). For literally doing basically nothing, he's able to generate income while taking minimal risk, and exploiting the borrower at the same time. If the borrower defaults, the lender is able to go after him for not just the principal, but the interest as well. He'll go after his assets and sell them to make his basically guaranteed profit.

Furthermore, it's possible to chain debt in a way that becomes a series of dominos, where if the first one topples, everything goes. We've seen this in 2008, it's inherently built into the system. You can't really do this with rent. While you can technically sub lease, there is a limit in practice, and because of fees, it isn't really feasible to go more than one or two steps. Not so with lending. You have borrowing on top of borrowing for instance, people take out loans against their partially paid for mortgages, to take out more mortgages, to buy property. Then the whole thing collapses at a moment's notice when the markets become finicky. Banks pool debts and sell them in packages, we've seen the end result of that.
OMH that's so fun!!!

A star is easy enough and well earned.
This is an EXCELLENT comment. Learning not to engage with the anxiety is a really important skill. To get there, you've got to get in the habit of labeling those thoughts as anxiety so that you can recognize them easily.

And you're right -- trying to evaluate how likely the feared event is can be a form of engaging with the anxiety. You can even start cultivating satellite fears about whether you've got the right read on the situation and so forth.

Nevertheless, I would caution against a blanket rule that says "never touch an anxious thought." Sometimes, you need to make a decision. Let's say you're feeling feverish, and you think: "maybe I have COVID-19!" It is appropriate to fetch the thermometer from the medicine cabinet and check your temperature -- once. If the reading is normal, and you have the impulse to check again 30 minutes later, that would a good time to simply label the anxious thought and refrain from responding to it.

Apple $500 DTK Program Asking for Returns – Giving $200USD Voucher
Just received an email from Apple regarding the DTK program returns, won't paste content in case they have stenographed the email (NDA'd). The program has been a joke from the start with minimal response from Apple. The developer forums are packed with complaints, hardware arriving DOA, endless reboots and no opportunity to return or refund out of the program.

Really surprised with Apple's handling here.

One of the most active threads with zero Apple input was asking "has the DTK program been set adrift" in the title with more than 2500 views.

It's for switching versions of your local CLI tools quickly.

> asdf is a CLI tool that can manage multiple language runtime versions on a per-project basis. It is like gvm, nvm, rbenv & pyenv (and more) all in one! Simply install your language’s plugin!

For example:

$ asdf global python 3.6.2
$ python -V
Python 3.6.2

$ asdf local python 3.9.1
$ python -V
Python 3.9.1

"asdf local" stores the version to use for the current directory across shells, which is neat. "shell" is for the current session, and "global" is for the system.

The supported CLI tools is extendable via plugins: https://asdf-vm.com/#/plugins-all

I also wonder if and to what extent this information can transfer between individuals?

I'm reminded of the Jungian collective unconscious.

You're going to think I'm a kook now, but, there's also a panspermia angle on this. Big ifs here, but. If panspermia is true. If evolution on earth is tied to evolution of life in the wider universe via transfer of genetic material. Then it could be possible that the code in which memories (or a learned manifold, encoding useful generalisation) are encoded is compatible with life here today. You could conceivably get not just morphological/physiological changes in terrestrial organisms through viral horizontal gene transfer, but also transfer of cognitive strategy via the same mechanism. X-files kinda stuff.
All kind of unlikely, but an interesting possibility.
