I understand why they did it, but it’s super annoying.

Given the intervals between running Homebrew, you just know it’s going to spin for a minute or two updating every damn time you try to use it, usually when you want something installed fast.
I like spyder a lot for the variable explorer, which makes it feel more like Matlab. However the constant bothering about installing Kite got annoying. Unfortunately there isn't a way to use Kite and have it not constantly annoy you about upgrading to the enterprise edition. If Kite had a no ads plan for like ~ $10 a year it would make a lot more sense to integrate it in spyder.
It would have an effect though. That's a direct alteration to your gut microbiome. I guess, sure, fetishists are a thing. But I'm not sure it's a viable target market haha.
If we used that standard, then almost no African American in existence would be considered Black. Since effectively all Black people with enslaved ancestors in America have some white ancestry.

Q: What if you find yourself in a truly toxic work environment?

A: My advice is to get out if you can. Toxic situations make you emotionally and physically sick. It can take years to recover. Have a good support network in place, limit your exposure with that toxic boss and stay under the radar. Adopt a survivor mentality until you can get out.

Yes, this sounds obvious, but at my last job I could have really used somebody telling me as much.
It amazes me that there are some people who still think they can pull off the "no one can copy this" game with web content. It's like... your audience is engineers; they are the ones whom know how to copy your crap whether you like it or not, and now you've pissed them off by pretending you can stop them from doing so.
There’s so much.

If I can dream, an LDAP implementation with a similar target as GP wound be fantastic.

That’s not a short one though (:
When I use Firefox on my work laptop I get harassed by Microsoft. They keep signing me out of Outlook and saying they wouldn’t have to do that if I was on Edge. And they occasionally put up a message on Microsoft To-Do that they won’t sync my changes because I’m on an unsupported browser. This doesn’t happen with Chrome so unfortunately that’s what I use now. It’s not Firefox’s fault, it actually works better for me everywhere else, but I wanted to stop signing in 6 times a day.
HN, and the open source world in general, has no sense of perspective. I mean, even as someone who once built my own Linux system from scratch I don't understand why there are death threats connected to something called "systemd".

It's a bubble that most of us grow out of once we discover that there is more to life. Apparently some people never do.
Okay, but this still seems like a perversion of market mechanics that should be regulated/banned.
Wouldn't call it a successful rebranding. Cow feet soup is positively delicious (and rather expensive).
Updating the Centuries-Old on/Off Switch
Can I get the following behavior from Spyder (last time I tried I couldn't find a way) - for some keyboard shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Enter:

- the shortcut sends the selected code to the terminal (this is possible)

- if I hit the shortcut when nothing is selected, the line where the cursor currently is gets sent to the terminal and the cursor moves to the next line of code

- if the cursor is at the beginning of a block of code like an if-statement or a loop, the whole statement is sent to the terminal and the cursor moves to after the statement

RStudio has this behaviour by default, I find it very convenient and I haven't been able to replicate it in other environments.

Your right. It's complicated. The sad thing is, it doesn't matter. Simpler manufactured narratives will win in the future.
Yes I've researched all this. My partner is TN eligible as well. And yes, dollar figure costs are same, that's exactly my point. CoL from a magnitude is the same when exchange is excluded, but salaries are higher and more opportunities. I exclude exchange because I would earn USD in America. And yes, this is why I'm targeting Tier 2 companies. If CoL is the same when thinking dollar figure, if I got to bay area and earn 170-200k (lower end for senior), and eventually make shift to areas with lower CoL overall and lower salary, fine so be it. Maybe I'll find my way into a Tier 1 eventually with enough Leetcoding. Point is the market is so much bigger in the US and so many more livable metros than Canada.

Also on the note of daycare, unless you manage to get into subsidized daycare (impossible essentially), you're paying 2k minimum a month.

And as for healthcare, the best deal is living in low or no income tax state. That is the ultimate goal long term. Even Cali vs. Ontario or Van, taxes overall a bit lower. At least the premiums you pay for get you high quality superior healthcare.
> Where is the restitution to the aggrieved party? The assaulted, the robbed, the beaten, the raped? You pay for what you do, and if your enterprise is criminal, you pay in time behind bars. Personal responsibility. Why would anyone want to hire a wife-beater?

Criminal law is about wrongs against the state. In regards to payment for restitution, how is the state being restored by somebody rotting in jail?

What sort of payment is this that the state may end up even poorer than before? In fact, if serving in prison is payment, then I'd say it's the state that's paying for the prison and all the harms which follow.

If the state should find itself awfully harmed from its own criminal justice policy, from where shall the state seek remedy?

Not sure on using CodeMirror but I’m using Ace on my vim learning tool because it has vim key bindings. It’s been a great tool!
Would like to check out code mirror also though too and see if I like it better.
Organizations defining their roles is certainly a challenge. Quite a few roles don't know what their focus is and other roles constrain their search to the point that the job requirements are practically a circular dependency. I'm on the research side of the equation which falls under the data science umbrella which is partially covered by ML engineer, but not fully IMO. Personally, working with data there's a ton of older EE derived DSP+image processing ideas which are great but the recruitment process overlooks with how the roles get built. Having the solid math background is something that seems lacking from anyone exposed only to very high level frameworks or bootcamps.
I'm sorry, I'm sure Spyder has lots of merits (and I'm sure the devs are wonderful people), but I've spent so much time fixing fellow academics' Python problems that were in the end rooted in "I don't know what I'm doing, so I installed this Spyder thing and it has now taken over every aspect of Python on my computer" that I feel a visceral negative reaction to the name in my body. Not Spyder's fault, of course, but nonetheless.
The critical difference is the amount per person and the number of people included.

Welfare spending for 2020 is estimated to be around $1.9T, around $1.0T of which is means-tested, and $0.7T is Medicaid. Total federal receipts were around $3.4T.

If you believe that the entire adult population should receive the equivalent of a $15/hr minimum wage job that was worked 2000 hours per year, you need to fund $30K/adult. There are around 250M adults living in the US, meaning that paying each of them $30K would require more than twice the total federal tax receipts for this program alone. If you restrict it to citizens only (rather than all lawful residents), it's still basically double.

Even assuming you could cut every other federal function in half, you would still need to raise taxes by +150% (to 250% of current) just to pay for a $15/hr equivalent to adults only. Add in a smaller amount per child and you could be looking at tripling current tax levels. With the top marginal rate already higher than 33%, it's obvious that those tax increases will not hit only "the rich".

Then, does $30K/adult provide for everyone to "enjoy a more fulfilling life" given the inflation that would occur to pay for the UBI? I think it does not.

There is no doubt that UBI and taxation is more efficient; it's the simple multiplication that is a problem.

> Every time someone wants to sell me a calendar, another todo list or an optimizer for my time, I will try to tell them, that software is not going to help me.

No doubt about that :)

> Spending and planning your time is a mental proces that has very little to do with typing things into a calendar....

I disagree with this statement and all that follows. I'm of course, biased, as a founder of a calendar-related startup. I have no vision of trying to convince you otherwise

But for other folks reading this and nodding their head I'd ask them to consider what you're saying: "spending and planning your time is a mental process". Hmm... I suppose you're trying to point out that people have to choose how they spend their time, and you are totally correct. A tool can't automatically make you a better version of yourself.

But also ask yourself, without looking at your calendar, how many meetings are have you currently committed yourself to for the next three weeks, how many commitments to your family, and how much free time do you have leftover? Is that more or less than the commitments that you made to your colleagues (eg: write that strategy doc), to your family members (eg: build that shed), and to yourself (eg: exercise)?

The reality is very few people can do that without consulting their notes, calendars, email, todo lists, project management tools, etc. So it's reasonable that people might also want visual aids to figure out where their time is going and help them be more strategic with their time, pulling disparate sources together and presenting them alongside the place where things tend to me the most fixed: meetings.

Very few tools are for everyone, and calendar blocking clearly doesn't align with your mental model. But I think your tone and language is misplaced and doesn't empathize with the millions of people in the world who benefit from calendar-style time blocking aids.

I wish you all the luck finding a process that does work for you.
> There is a game out there (I shall not name) that is claiming to be a multi-planet 3d version of factorio.

Any particular reason you don't want to name it? I mean, I know what it is, and I've sunk 12 hours into it so far. While it still has a lot of polish left to do (It's only been in Early Access for two weeks!), it shows a lot of promise. I like it because it allows me to stack belts to more than two levels which makes dealing with spaghetti a lot easier.

I have the "other", more eh..."satisfying" factory game as well. It's beautiful, but placing objects in first-person is actually rather frustrating.

It sure seems additive in this case. Google & Apple can choose not to do business in regulatory regimes that are oppressive in nature. That obviously comes at a direct cost of lost revenue from abstinence. It is a deliberate choice to do business anywhere at all. The simple fix here as you say, would be to stop doing business when forced to enact business practices that further oppression.

Make no mistake, it is monetary greed that drives the choice to assent to this.
This is also the strategy of a lot of social media accounts that compile cute animal pictures or something, amass followers then sell the account for ads.
Thank you for this link. This is the first robust argument for running as root that I've seen, and completely upends my assumptions.

There's never been more opportunity for starting a business and rapidly moving up. Just look at the never-ending stream of new billion dollar companies.
No, using genetic information as a consideration in health insurance is expressly illegal in the US under GINA.
please read the document before dismissing it as a consiparcy theory. It clearly mentions to people in other countries to protest in front of Indian embassies.

What does someone from UK understand about Indian farmers?
By all means protest in India - without resorting to violence.
No point in protesting in other country unless you think that will create external pressure on the Indian government.
Here the government is willing to talk further, even put a stay on the laws for 18 months , but the protestors just do not want to collaborate.

I agree that the government should have been transparent from the beginning. The stubbornness of ruling government escalated situation. But atleast now they are ready to talk.
Why do the protesters still want to keep escalating by resorting to violence?
You can make the same arguments for bribery. Nonetheless it is illegal for a US company to bribe people abroad and US companies end up selling off their holdings in banana republics.

Why is this law good? The US has a long history of corporations owning too much in banana republics and bringing the US into pro-dictator political positions.
Encrochat: Secret network messages can be used in court, judges rule
You're right that my reason is probably overly cynical, particularly if 128GB is large enough for 2 hours of 8K content. The point still stands that without millions of drives being manufactured, the pricing would force any new optical medium to be expensive.
You're missing the point. Cow feet soup might be positively delicious, but from a North American standpoint (and probably most western cultures), it's not something people are lining up for.
It's ideology. They're both fine at what they do at this point, and you really only need to choose based on what has the packages you need.

For reference, I use MacPorts. I often tell new users to just use Homebrew. It really just doesn't matter.
Not sure you're understanding what I'm saying.

The Pakistani government can require that Apple and Google block certain apps and require that they maintain their ability to do so.

I don't dispute that Apple and Google do gatekeeping. They do. We can discuss the pros and cons of it. But that is simply not issue here.
Tell me about it. I had cudatoolkit installed, and then followed every single PyTorch installation instructions, and then still it insisted that I should get the CPU version, not the GPU one.

I ultimately fixed this with going to the conda files list, and choosing exactly what I needed. Not straightforward at all.
Laws don't matter without the ability to enforce them.

Apple and Google reap the benefits of forced centralised control, but that is what allows those countries to very easily enforce these kinds of laws.
Guess I’m junior then. I learned how to code via scientific coding so I love Spyder for its simplicity. When I want to work deeply on a difficult problem and want to quickly flesh out ideas it’s my go to because it sandboxes really well and I can iterate much faster in it.

I use more advanced IDE when integrating the code I developed in Spyder into a larger code base. I’m sure many will criticize my workflow but I’ve tried doing other ways and this works best for me and I write less buggy code this way.
Ah. chocolates != chocolate

Usually nougat uses egg whites so it doesn't need gelatin as a protein. Marshmallows are arguably nougat, though, since they're also sugar bound with protein. Marshmallow cream usually uses egg.

All of the major nougat US candy bars I can find use egg and not gelatin.

I've seen chocolates with marshmallow in them.
Greta Thunberg is not 'less powerful'. And the Khailstani organisations are also not less powerful.
I agree. I just wanted to post "Why would I not use https://github.com/federico-terzi/espanso instead?", but that Selector thingy is a really nice idea.
>An alternate App Store operating in Pakistan would be subject to the same unjust laws as them.

Would they, though? How can you stop arbitrary APK downloads from the internet? Or a site that constantly changes its domain? Look at how blocking places like The Pirate Bay goes.

I think there is more to be said for the impact of Apple and Google leaving the Pakistani market than you grant.

Google is willing to leave the Australian market because they don't want to share revenues with the newspapers they skim for headlines, but they will suppress religious minorities to comply with theocratic governments.

These Western companies do not hold any values.

Your intestines are full of poop. Your stomach isn't full of poop. Your throat and mouth aren't full of poop.

Vomiting is very unpleasant. Vomit isn't poop. The thought of poop in your mouth is very unpleasant.

I really don't understand how a comment stating, "I really think it would be a toss-up for me which method I would prefer" is down-voted through the floor.
> provider of the platform to stop allowing for them to be installed

The fact that this is possible (worse on iOS) is the architectural and political tragedy of these app stores. A "provider of the platform" should have no power to have any say in what apps are installed on a user-owned device, in which case it would be impossible to coerce them into banning this or that.
Front-end built once, deployed on both mobile and web. Is it possible?
Hi,

I'm the founder of a small company that puts out tech products.

Although not technical myself, one of the many roles that my small company needs me to fill in is the CTO role. I don't code, rather come from a design background.

We currently have multiple products, but the relevant ones for my question are:

A mobile app made in React Native, published on iOS and Android

A custom-built eCommerce built with CorePHP and Bootstrap for front-end

A custom-built app made with Django and React for front-end

However, the mobile app will now need elements from the other two apps. I suppose that the FE (front-end) dev of the Mobile App will have to replicate:

the FE work the Bootstrap developer has built so far

the FE work the React developer has built so far

But then it's a cat-mouse game, where every single change I make on the React app will have to be replicated on the mobile app. And vice versa.

Is there any tech stack I can choose where we can either work once and use the built things twice? Or at least get to something that's as close as possible to this?

Surely the bigger tech companies must've done something about it — although when I look at the Amazon App, I can sense that it's clearly differently built from their web browser app.

If this isn't possible, then... do small-to-medium-tech companies just re-do the FE for web and for mobile...?

P.S: Since we're here, may I also ask: any fantastic disadvantages from being 'fragmented' across different tech stacks with different apps? FWIW all these apps will be served from the saved DB and back-end

When a possible link between gut biomes and disease progression was first proposed, the response by the established science was pretty harsh.

That people studying these links persisted and have created many reproducible experiments that demonstrate the connection is a testament both to perseverance and to science.

When people try to argue that science is "people making things up." as a reason for disbelieving science that challenges their beliefs, I use this example of fecal transplants as a real world case of how scientists challenge, confront, debate, and incorporate changes into their world views through process, review, and reproduction.
The current version isn't the bleeding edge. It's the version most recommended for use in production. The bleeding edge is Early Access release. If things break for new versions, the root cause needs to be found, because this shouldn't happen if libraries target the spec.
I would think it is an excuse to just use chromium, because this is what the person actually prefers, but his ideology(or peer group) tells him or her to use FF.
and dont get me wrong, i am glad all types exist and meet in the market.

I was looking at it as a crossover SUV, not as a sports car.

If you want to look at it as a performance vehicle, it's a pretty sad offering for a EV. The Model Y Long Range completely crushes it in terms of performance and Range.

But since you don't care about utility, you'd probably go for the Model 3 where the performance differences are even greater.

The Mustang's performance numbers might look interesting for an ICE vehicle, but they are purely middle of the pack for an EV. Calling the Mustang EV a sports car is like calling a 70s Pinto with a 6 banger a performance car.

EDIT: FWIW, I've had a hitch rack on my car for the past 9 years, I'm quite aware of the impact it has on range.
Yes, so. The linked video is about a n=30 observational study. "Diet science" is full of this. (At least this study explicitly noted that no inference regarding health outcomes were made.)

The guy is fighting the good fight (against USDA and so on), but this is still the HN is hilariously bad at diet and related issues.
This is a very week article; there is nothing specific in it about managing your boss. This only mentions that the concept exists.
