>The key part which you missed is that everything is automated, always installed in an isolated virtual environment, the package are automatically tracked and updated, and the tools which make this happen are installed from Homebrew and update at the same time.

That we can automate our way out of a mess doesn't mean there is a mess.

Even more so if the automation involves extra inconvenience (like, from writing the automation to waiting to rebuild), which with a different design in the Python packaging wouldn't be needed.

>The key part is recognizing that the problem comes from trying to fight updates: software changes and accepting that means moving to a workflow which automates that rather than spending time trying to freeze everything in amber.

I can find and install updates just fine in other package managers for other languages, without messing my setup.

I can also move my whole environment to any path I like (with just copying).
Idk. For me, if I had 20 friends, and 12 agreed to do something, I wouldn’t say they “overwhelmingly agree”. I’d just say a majority. But politics is on a much bigger scale.
should this be a ShowHN?
A static weld is usually stronger than the base metal under static conditions (i.e. not undergoing dynamic shock loading). Welds are created at 3000 degrees C with 50-100C metal right next to it. By the time a weld cools there are always captive stresses, meaning during a failure the weld is the most brittle part. This can be alleviated with pre and post weld heat treatment, but there are always stresses built into a weld.
Some people just don't want genetics. Maybe never seen the use.

And Google is probably paying Mozilla so that they block those cookies too... I think that they might have paid them for other things too... like for blocking 99% of extensions on Firefox mobile (those are speculations, that are very probable).

As much as I want this to be a tale of two industry titans, slugging it out in a space race, publicly mocking each other's ideas, I think that this shows that Bezos' plans are more experimental and don't come into play on the same timeframe as Musk's plans at all.
> There basically no amount of money that it would not have been worth it to spend.

Maybe!

But, while the transmission rate appears to be sort of high - the fatality rate seems to be low (and getting lower as we figure out effective treatment protocols). I guess I personally don't think it was worth killing the economy over it.. Isolate "at risk people" (say over 75-or-so?) In fact, at least in the US - I think the shutdown caused more harm than the disease (although reasonable people often draw different conclusions from the same data...)
That is a moot point to discuss. If you’re looking for the worst browser in the market however, Chrome is a strong candidate.
It sounds funny to say this, but sometimes I wonder if the obstacles to decentralization are simpler than it seems. Basically, it just requires the "always on appliance model" of home computers.

I've installed Briar. I like the decentralized aspect. It's certainly not harder to use than Whatsapp or Signal or whatever. However, it requires me to have it running in the background all the time, and requires me to have my phone on. This is a power drain on my phone and sort of a limitation relative to some central server that's always there.

The closest things to this are maybe a router or Alexa or whatever. My guess is if you could expand this to personal servers, like a nextcloud server-type thing in each home that you could expand, decentralization might go somewhere. People get this already, as they put them in their home for IoT, or to stream whatever, etc and so forth. You just get them used to these things being outward facing as well.

I think there will always be a need for centralized computing services, or at least a demand. But decentralization isn't too complicated technically or in terms of UX, it just requires a sort of cultural shift, which isn't really that different from use of Facebook or Twitter. It's just a cultural shift on the hardware side.

Federation and decentralization was a central part of early home computing. There's certainly reasons we moved away from it, but probably also reasons to return to it again.
What were the pros and cons of starting up a company in Denmark?

Since you were doing robotics, did you choose to be based in Odense?
I am not entirely sure I agree with the thinking though.

While initial production ramp up would get the richer countries vaccinated quickly it seems like Gates has a more holistic picture and wants to see the whole world vaccinated faster.

I agree with this thinking. It won't matter if rich countries are vaccinated if other countries are coming up with new variations all the time. We want to eradicate this by having everyone in the world on the same page, not have it hanging around like the flu.
What if you asked those other projects? I find it tough to believe nobody would contribute. It’s not like the other mallocs are for profit products.
Great idea, thanks. One potential problem I see is that categories seem too broad, you cover a lot of area here. There's so much good content out there that very quickly just 2 levels won't be enough to categorize it into a browsable lists. The same problem most of us have with bookmarks, at some point there's so many of them that you can't find anything anymore.
I’m happy throwing Prop 22 in the trash after AB5.
Thank you, my thought here was to make the registration as quick and easy as possible - no email or confirmation is required.

What is "Career Choice" in the context of Amazon?

Also, I think the claim to have pioneered "marketplace" might be exaggerated. I would say eBay lead in that department, so, unless Amazon Marketplace was around before 1995, I don't think this is correct. Or, am I missing something here? I think the essential bit is having third party sellers, but Amazon does go to some lengths to make it semi-transparent to buy from a Marketplace seller.
So one side believes that rich people secretly get together to eat babies, and the other side has a news opinion show?

Yup, same thing.
> Carter has taken speaking fees

https://www.thoughtco.com/former-presidents-speaking-fees-33... Former President Jimmy Carter "seldom accepts speaking fees," The Associated Press wrote in 2002, "and when he does he typically donates the proceeds to his charitable foundation."

> Clinton runs one of the most successful charitable orgs in the world.

So does Bill Gates. So what? Clinton also made more than $100 million for himself in speaking fees.
You again keep trying to dodge the question and change the subject, so I'll ask it yet again: If the USSR had such a wonderful society, why did they have to systematically mass murder ordinary people who wanted to leave this wonderful society?

If you're saying that slavery is also abhorrent and evil—like the slavery and mass murder that takes place under Communism—then we're in agreement. Now, can you please answer the question?
They can pay out later, sure. But they needn't pay out anything, ever. They could make a zillion dollars next year and you'd get none, directly. That's the point. Whatever you could get by trading the share is based on somebody's belief in its value, for some definition of "value" (see e.g., Tesla.)

People trade stock as if the companies were yielding something to the stock owners. Many don't. Acting "as if" the company is making those payments -- imputing a price to the stock according to the underlying fundamentals, or some temporally discounted variant -- is a fantasy. It is a symbolic act. An exercise in recursion, anchored in nothing.

The story the market is telling is a very different kind of story, now.

All of your content will be publicly accessible in an automated way that requires no understanding of your site if github turns on PROPFIND and there are dozens of reasons (many good) why they would.

If you actually care about the content on that site staying secret you should delete that repo and find a different way to share it.
But that would imply that evolution was "directed", which I think is proven that it's not.
The role of viruses in evolution is almost mainstream now, it is much more likely that virus was just a method for ancient extinct organisms to exchange genes, sort of proto-sex, and not anything else outlandish.
Indeed, I never had an encounter with the law enforcement, the justice, or the due process.

If I'm not too nosy, did you? Or you are basing your conclusions on things you read about?

In my case, not only I didn't experience the "heavy hand" of the law enforcement, but I don't know anyone who did. I interact with hundreds of people, and I don't know anyone who's been subject to law enforcement troubles. Now, I assume that some people with such trouble would not talk with everyone about their issues, just like people with health problems don't necessarily advertise their condition. But if I can continue the parallel with the health issues, if someone has cancer, you learn about that sooner or later. If someone spends a few days in the "crowbar hotel", there's a good chance people would start whispering. I never heard this type of whispers about the people in my circle.

So, based on my personal experience, I did not see evidence that the "due process" is a farce. But more importantly, I did not see evidence that innocent people fall pray to any intentional or unintentional abuse from the law enforcement linked to face recognition, or other types of surveillance.

Yes, I did read horror stories on the internet. But I take what I read with a bit of grain of salt (especially since there's a tendency in all these stories to hear only a sigle part of the story), and I prefer to rely more on my personal experience.
> A popular initiative being sacrosanct and inviolable absent a second initiative seems wrong to me. Why does a populist law get to stand more firm than one passed by the elected representatives of the people?

I expect you know the answer to this. Just look at what happened with the restoration of voting rights to felons in Florida: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_disenfranchisement_in_F...

65% of Floridian voters chose to restore voting rights to felons; the Florida legislature chose to add additional restrictions to that restoration that were not in the original proposition, effectively preventing the restoration that Floridians had chosen.

Nit pick...but in a binary decision (yes/no), the margin is only 9% as every loss on one side is a gain on the other.

> One day a minor release of Python is out

It is decidedly not true that I want to update my venv for every minor version bump!

I deploy to a cloud service w/ a specific version; my package manager is slow to update; I develop collaboratively using a shared container w/ a fixed version.

Updating shared resources with every new release is not always realistic, and that makes it so that I do need (or at least want) to use a virtualenv.

While your argument is hard to prove wrong because the US ranks third in population as a single nation, I am skeptical that there is somehow a market population threshold that allows Silicon Valley in a country of 3X10^9 but not, say, 1.2X10^9 (Japan).
Yeah, the most important news about this extraordinary piece of history is omitted!

> I have been seeing people on WSB claim that the stock price shown on the ticker is "manipulated by the hedgies" and asking when the real stock price is going to finally appear. This is pretty similar to Q people asking when it will be revealed that 45 is still the president.

I don't think it's fair to draw an equivalence between the two theories.

It's pretty easy for a large market participant to impact the bid/offer when there isn't much liquidity, especially if the natural buyers are restricted from trading. The price moves because of supply and demand.

The WSB perspective is perhaps a bit uninformed, but it's not particularly bizarre (unlike the QAnon garbage). They're just asking "when will the price reflect our pent-up demand rather than artificial supply?"

Unfortunately, the reality is that prices get set during these moments of absolute craziness. That's why you sometimes see hedge funds reload after hours after an earnings miss on one of their long positions. They want to absorb the supply so the stock doesn't crash lower.

Look at GME today. The price moved a couple of percent even though nobody has the slightest reason to believe that GME stock is worth this particular price. Some say it should be higher due to flows around positioning, and others say it should be lower because of fundamentals.
The most "funny" disassembler I have ever seen in pascal/delphi is the one from cheat engine...

https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Che...

That one unit has more than 16000 LOC, its basically one huge case statement where each opcode is handled separately... super simple but certainly not DRY (don't repeat yourself). But I guess its one of those cases where you should avoid writing DRY code.

In the same manner is the fpdebug-disassembler from the free pascal team, I found that disassembler one of the most elegant one.

https://github.com/alrieckert/lazarus/blob/master/components...

It has some minor errors in the Rex decoding though, if I remember correctly....
The problem is that California very frequently gets into situations where there's a legislative supermajority on the opposite side of the issue from the general public. Just this cycle, AB5 passed the Assembly with 76%, and ACA 5 (the subject of Prop 16) passed with 81%. If the legislature were allowed to repeal ballot propositions, they'd do it in a heartbeat, and the will of the voters would not end up being expressed.
Show HN: Upcoming Chats – Clubhouse App Events Calendar
Thank you! Yes it goes into a queue (if you're interested you can see the queue in the demo video [0]). One thing I would like to add to the user's profile is a list of videos they've submitted and their status - I agree that it's totally unclear right now, I will try to add a note about that somewhere.

The skill level is of course going to be subjective and vary from topic to topic, part of my labeling has to do with what tools are required (if it requires expensive/specialized tools I tend to rank it higher).

If you think a video is mislabeled you can make a suggestion by clicking on the comment bubble in the header (orange part) of the selected video.

Google's response to this allegation: https://9to5google.com/2020/02/06/google-chrome-x-client-dat...

TL;DR, they claim that this header is sent to all Google-owned domains, and describes the feature flags that your browser has enabled, and it doesn't contain any PII.

Oh wait

They backpedalled on this by removing from the whitepaper their claim that the X-Client-Data field doesn't contain PII: https://vpnoverview.com/news/google-backpedals-on-claim-that...

Sigh.

I guess the closest thing to a defence to your argument one could mount is "That's not true, Chrome sends it to all Google-owned domains!" which is... not a defence.
I sat through a talk by Jeff Bozos where he said the same thing, that to register his company he was talking on the phone to his lawyer and the lawyer asked what he wanted his company name to be and Jeff said Cadabra (telling the audience like Abra Cadabra) whereupon the Lawyer said Cadaver which made Bozo develop cold feet.
> needed to store oil above ground due to EPA regulations, but needed it stored underground to satisfy the fire department regulations.

Did they try building tanks both above and below ground, connecting them with two pipes so there's a circle, and constantly pumping it along that circle so it is not stored anywhere but merely in transit through both areas?

The unions now are so different than what they used to be and the typical reported events is clearly not favoring their antics. As a political entity, they're not as great as they could be. As a labor organization, far from ideal but it's one of those things I would like to have the option of joining.

I don't care much about existing unions and their motives, only that I support drivers that want to unionize on their own. This isn't too relevant to AB5 specifically but in general, I am not against what someone wants to organize out of volition. Whether we agree on the reality of unions or not, we can see the whole gig economy needs something to protect the vulnerable. I don't trust private corporations to self-regulate but the crowd has spoken the other way via Prop 22.

I don't know if it's right but neither P22 or AB5 really solves the gig economy issues moving forward.
First off ... I don't have a Clubhouse App account. They are so tough to come by ... however I was getting FOMO from all the events that were appearing that I decided to create a quick website (and twitter account) to help my FOMO get even worse.

I quickly threw this website together today so if you have any design feedback please let me hear it.
For image search? I've verified myself that this regularly returns nearly exclusively NSFW thumbnails via a variety of methods that anonymize my identity, and have also had acquaintances verify that they see the same thing. It's a big enough sample size to suggest there's a problem that needs to be solved.
I actually use Emacs to author R Markdown and the exporting works pretty flawlessly.

Before anyone asks, I use Org Mode. I just don't feel like pushing that format on my co-workers. If it's for me only, I use Org. If it's for a collaboration or export into a report, it goes into an R Markdown file.
> “These companies are businesses and want to maximize their revenue. They’ll continue to make other products they can sell while manufacturing their vaccine

There is an extremely easy solution to this problem, which is, just paying drug companies so much that it’s not worth for them to make anything else. Unfortunately, the governments around the world have failed the easiest cost-benefit analysis in the history, that is, trillions > billions, and so they negotiated the vaccine prices to be rather low, saving billions, while at the same time, spending trillions in stimulus money.

Imagine if they just allowed the companies to sell the vaccines at the prices dictated by the market. Also imagine if they allowed AstraZeneca vaccine in the US without jumping through extra hoops, which cannot possibly give us more valuable information than we already have, now that millions of doses have already been administered in UK. Alas, the regulatory state has failed us in the pandemic the worst it has ever had.
Currently working on a DA masters with a background in markdown and was so happy to discover this.

Then I was baffled to discover that there wasn’t an equivalent for Python. Jupyter is great, but I really love the simplicity of my text files and I’m surprised that there isn’t a major implementation given how popular both markdown and Python are. I guess notebooks are just too appealing.

> the actionable medical returns have been relatively tiny and industry continues to not invest in sequencers for a good reason

I agree with this, but I disagree with the following:

> most of the progress did NOT come from HGP data.

Without HGP (Human Genome Project), many biological discoveries in the past two decades would have become much more difficult.

> it's a huge waste of investment until we understand the multigenicity of diseases better

If you don't invest, you will never approach a solution. Applied science goes nowhere without a solid foundation in basic science.
The claim that killing 3rd party cookies is anti-competitive is some Marketing Company Bullshit. A group in France is also suing Apple on antitrust grounds because they're going to ask users if they want to be tracked.

What's actually anti-competitive is the idea that Google will kill them off and replace it with a solution which they control, forcing advertisers to deal with them and their ad products directly in order to do anything.

Whether that's actually what's happening is another question entirely.
LOL indeed. And if you eat an apple, you would become an Apple fanboy.
