If she can't disentangle herself from the interests of her benefactors, then yeah. Maybe she should resign.
While I absolutely do have the perception that Chinese businesses are more corrupt than Western businesses, admittedly any sort of data or analysis would be welcome.
Ah interesting. It appears that the reason for this difference is that Python on Homebrew is delivered as a single package for development and execution. The true intention should have been to have had Python-Homebrew to create the environment for Homebrew and Python-Dev which you can use for your development.

Sort of analogous to the way the JVM is distributed usually as separate packages with the JRE and the JDK.

I don't write very much prod-grade Python, so I just recreate the venv with my requirements.txt instead.
This has already happened. Bitcoin has been forked many times. Also, there are literally thousands of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin has the first mover advantage. Craigslist makes 100s of millions of dollars every year.
Bitcoin also has huge momentum with its network of miners and now some large institutional investors. It has survived 10 years with no successful hacks or 51% attacks. The market cap is almost 700 billion, so a lot of people have a vested interest in seeing it succeed. Botcoin not so much.

yes, denial of service attacks.
Scam apps are a rounding error in Apple’s revenue. On the other hand, the problem getting media attention hurts their entire argument around App Store reviews & policies which hurts their arguments regarding potential anti-trust litigation.
Is there a model where the contributors get paid - based on views, etc?

I am thinking there could be scheduled, similar to the reddit AMA, where 2 top persons in a field with opposite opinions can be coaxed to debate about the topic?

Both of them get a few hours to get back, and the back and forth rules can be set, and we would all be better off hearing the pros and cons from both sides.
Here's a general article:

https://www.statnews.com/2020/12/11/covid19-vaccine-timeline...

"“Vaccine manufacturers hold their production capacity pretty close to their vest because it’s a point of a negotiation.” he said. Companies want to have flexibility in their contracts so they can balance production of various drugs and vaccines. “These companies are businesses and want to maximize their revenue. They’ll continue to make other products they can sell while manufacturing their vaccine.”"

I know less than either Lowe or the State News author. I don't know where the particular bottlenecks might be. But it seems hard for me to believe that "ramping up is impossible" doesn't mean "ramping up is impossible under standard procedures, where we keep proprietary information proprietary, where we don't spend massively on capital equipment we might not need down the line (etc etc)"

That is to say that we're far and far from a Manhattan Project intended to push vaccine manufacture to the logistical maximum. That's just how just any institutional process works.
About a year ago or so I moved to pyenv and poetry. I have used python for over 10 years it was a game changer. I recommend this guide if your still using pip and venv.

Yes, I skimmed a bit on the "registration" flow. it is a simple "mailto" link with 3 advantages: a) provides the required name and email, b) verifies you're a legitimate person and c) white-list our team email so we are never marked as spam.
I'm a little surprised more people aren't using `anyenv`. That lets you install & update pyenv, nodenv, rbenv, etc. (though some support for certain languages is spotty) and thus get everything built/installed the way you want it.

Also, when using pyenv, I almost always set `env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" pyenv install -v ${pylatest}` (macOS) or `env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install -v ${pylatest}` (Linux). (I also set some CFLAGS, but these are personal preference.) I've had plenty of situations where not having the shared/framework build has screwed something up (and in fact that was my original reason for switching from Homebrew or package manager-installed Python years ago), and I've never had issues where the shared build screwed something up.
`brew install openssl` or `brew upgrade openssl` will still break pyenv virtualenvs, though they can then be fixed with `pyenv rehash`. Maybe this makes sense? I didn't sort through why it was happening.
same can be said for investing in lotteries. Also more upside, and if you're lucky, well that's all you need. So why not put 90% of your money into index funds and use the remaining 10% to buy lottery tickets?
Tulip FUD, really? It's always been a disingenuous argument. Tulips literally die in days.

Ask HN: How to deal with hundreds of open browser tabs
Im sure many of the people on here have the same issue as me of having hundreds of tabs open. I use windows virtual desktops and occasionally even different browsers or profiles to segment further. but that's managing the problem. how do I stop it at its root? What have you guys found that works.

A typical situation unfolds as follows. I open my core set of windows/tabs to do work or personal. then for either scenario i need to go on a tangent but still need the old stuff open for when i need to go back but then i don't finish tangent 1 and then tanget 2 starts ... and then I have 300+ tabs in chrome and 200+ in ff. the only way it resets is when the browser crashes and looses all its data. which is rare but happens. and adding in the virtual desktops compounded the issue, cus ill reserve on desktop for a certain category of stuff then not go back to it for a while and now I'm opening more virtual desktops
Why do I follow a team, the same team? Because that tribal instict, it is against programming to change. Once you have picked you are Mormom-married (apparently the Mormons stay married in the afterlife?). A friend dragged me in. There are people who are buried with the banner of their club, and the family considers it an honour to have representatives present at the funeral.

I watch plenty of games by other clubs, I just don't care in the same way. Ronaldo or Messi would never play for my team, but I appreciate them in a sort of intellectual, emotionally distant way. Like how I watch NFL games, it's an interesting sport with strategically appealing elements. Do I really care whether Mahomes or Brady takes it? Nah.
I think you did the division backwards. By my math that's 1.8 days per book. I'm guessing OP reads pretty fast, and 1-2 hours per day spent reading isn't outside the realm of possibility. I would probably read 2-3 times as many books, except I'm a fairly slow reader and since I read for fun I have pretty much zero interest in reading faster.
I haven't worked in full time labor job, however I helped or worked with laborers on volunteering basis. OTOH, just because I worked as a volunteer, I didn't work less when compared to them.

Similarly, on my current job, I have worked off-site, in hazardous sites, in off-hours (including all-nighters), in movement restricted conditions (think as soft imprisonment inside a building) or extremely stressful circumstances. These weren't "Oh, there's a deadline, so let's crunch!" stuff. It was against all odds, against the clock rescue jobs where nobody including your teammates were believing that it's possible, but we (me and a friend) have prevailed.

On the hardware mounting stuff, it was not again "let's playfully install" this stuff too. 100+ servers, left in boxes in front of the building. Carry, unbox, install rails, mount, make all the cabling (incl. electricity, from distribution boxes if req'd) and make them work, in 2 days most.

Yesterday, I was carrying servers to make some part replacements on them.

I never expect not to become one of these laborers. I never think of them as servants or invisible people. On the contrary, they are forming the backbone of some of the stuff that we never see consciously. These systems become invisible because of their hard work. They deserve a lot of respect.

Trash is picked up 1am in my street. I always think of the man, their families and circumstances.

Similarly, when I go to a carrier's office, I try to prepare all my answers and papers before to take their time less (they're literally drowning in packages to ship, so if I'm faster, they can finish their other work faster). I actively try not to reflect myself onto them since they see hundreds of people every day. I try not to be one of the people which makes them feel like a useless/replaceable cogs.

Just because I can play with a lot of cutting edge servers, not sweat everyday and wear my body down to earn a bit of money, it doesn't mean that I can not or don't want to understand and romanticize the burden they're going through.

Similarly just because I have a nicer job, it doesn't mean that all my friends or people I know and care are in the same circle or in higher places.

Just because I know how to manage an OS and write high performance code, it doesn't mean I live isolated in my high castle.

I'm sure there's a perfectly valid historical explanation, but I'm just referencing the suit naming scheme from Iron Man.
Uhhh read that sentence again. I think you’re projecting.
Well, isn't that the magic of picking the right tooling? You then don't need superstars to operate the system. That sounds like a productivity coup. It is, natural, of course that the productivity accrues to capital rather than to labour in this relationship.

Do those links have anything at all to do with alvin5? Or are they just generic "tiktok is the future" press items?

Why name it alvin5?
The TLC drive in that test did fine. 3D flash cells are generally big enough for TLC to not be a problem. I would only worry about write limits on QLC right now, and even then .05 drive writes per day is well under warranty limits so I'd expect it to be fine. Short-lived files are all going to the SLC cache anyway.
It's from 2000.
I would love to see that photo.

Starting in the late 1980s, I spent a lot of quality time with DEC VT220 terminals. Solid buggers.
I am aggressive about deleting tabs but I use the browser history to go back if I need to.
It certainly is a bad thing, it has led to them making a lot of user hostile changes that have made Homebrew a much worse project than it used to be. This article describes just one example of the kind of things that are considered ok by the Homebrew maintainers.
I want universal copy-paste like Apple has between devices. It would be great to have that between my Macbook and my Windows machine that I use for video calls/streaming.
I just mass close them once in a while. Often after I'm done solving a problem I end up with a hundred open tabs.
It goes beyond ethics. The CCP has clear long term global power goals and espionage plays a large part of this.

China threads turn into whataboutism. Yeah obviously the West spies as well. But we don't tend to use that to steal IP and coordinate with our state-owned or virtually quasi state owned companies. Even if we did do that I'd rather the spying be on our side. Plus we do have some individual liberty protections (no matter how deteriorating) and can push for more/transparency (Democracy versus a dictatorship).

We're in confrontation already why give up such an important strategic asset?
It's somehow comforting to see that image maps from 1994 still perform like absolute crap in 2021. It's just an extra bit of authenticity.
>1) They block you from watching outside of youtube, so you still need the site to watch

My workflow is to have a feed reader and a terminal next to it running an endless loop of "read line -> run youtube-dl with the line". I copy-paste the URLs from my reader to the terminal.

>2) Adding rss feeds one by one is tedious. Podcast Addict for android helps, but can't mark as read, and other limitations. So I still need the site to manage subscriptions

I don't subscribe on Youtube so there's no subscription state or watched-video state that I need to keep in sync with the website. Both those states are in my feed reader.

Not trying to spam, but have you looked at `anyenv`? It installs and updates all of these installers (and more), and keeps plugins up to date. I've been very happy with it.
Yes, pipenv is so frustratingly slow I found it practically unusable. poetry is also a good alternative.
Python's insistence that it be a system-level utility in one global location, with one global set of libraries, etc. is kind of why we're in this mess of many different ways to install and use python (and the myriad of workarounds like virtual envs, pyenv, pipx, etc.). The official CPython installer is fine for some simple scripting or learning the language, but as soon as you need to tightly control and define multiple different python installs, different versions of libraries, etc. to satisfy different constraints it becomes a huge headache.
That's a great question! I used to worry once miners are no longer enticed with newly minted coin their activity would trail off - particularly when transaction fees were close to $0. But fees have gone up since then without curtailing use, meanwhile a succession of halvings has significantly reduced the rate of coin issuance. And mining is still going strong.

Presently fees make up 13.5% of total block rewards. Here's a graph of how that's varied over time: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-fee_to_reward.h...

It will shift toward 100% as we approach the 21M mark. As long as people still want to transact in bitcoin, I think mining will continue to be viable. Of course there will always be competition from newer, more efficient protocols with lower fees.
It will be interesting to see what happens, but the market cap of Tether is only 27 billion and BTC + ETH caps are almost a trillion. Even if all Tether are suddenly worthless, it would be a speed bump in the cryptosphere.
The point is there are no incenctives for them to optimise for this. They optimise for profit, so if doubling their emissions nets them +0.05% profit on each delivery, they'll jump right on it. That's a failure of the system, more than of any individual company itself.
40-100ms is standard latency on any sort of internet enabled software even on the most average connection, and has been for a decade or more. I get 60ms latency on my phone hot spot.

If you have 500ms ping your problem is not the internet, it's something local to your building or computer, I hate to be the one to break it to you!
>MS Office or Google Docs

I see these two as very different need and usage. Google Docs is for some basic cross department collaboration usage. Which is replaceable only by Office 365 online but not traditional Office itself.

With Office, 2007, 2010, 2013+ ( Anything beyond 2013 is far to new for most Enterprise upgrade and usage ). These group of user aren't going to be switching to anything.

I am willing to bet money there are Trillion dollar revenue today relying on Good old Excel SpreadSheet. From Small family business to large Investment firms using Excel to its limit.
Which is working perfectly fine, DONT FUCKING TOUCH IT.

Even if LibreOffice promise 99.99% of Excel compatibility, are business and Enterprise willing to risk 0.01% of failure? For What? Ideology to not use anything from Microsoft? Or Supporting Open Source?

I have stated this before, the biggest lock-in Microsoft has might not be Windows, but Excel. Companies are more than willing to switch over to Mac as long as Microsoft Excel is on the platform.
( Which is also one reason why I see a slim possibilities of Microsoft one day open sourcing Windows Kernel )
One of the two shorts is now naked. There is an obligation of 2 shares and availability of one. If both of the guys demand their share back at the same time, one will not get it. As I was writing it I realized that this is the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Player C thinks that they own a real share, but they own thin air.
I'm surprised they are still making breaking changes, and they plan to make more (they are already working on a 4.0).
It doesn't detect backspace with non-backspace keys under Linux.

I'm using the Colemak keyboard layout, and Caps Lock is mapped to Backspace.
that's kinda that point... you dont get any data from China.
I don't see how those lessons are actionable? I mean yes to make money in stock picking all you have to do is buy low and sell high. Question is can you do that consistently enough to make a better return than index funds?
Borland had an early web product, I think it was called Delphi for PHP. It was complete garbage.
Extremely expensive sim prices($3000) during the complete dictator years -prior to 2010 -, meanwhile minimum wage *per day* is less than $4 in 2020.

Facebook worked with local telcos to bring about things like Facebook Zero, Facebook Basics.
We aren't just talking about Yellen here. Three other people have been directly named. You can expand that list to a much wider category of politicians. What evidence is there that the post-politics speaking circuit is an avenue for bribery that doesn't amount to the equivalent "well it is obvious"? There would be thousands of people involved in this over the years. Has any former participant spoken out about it? Has anyone been caught in the act?

People like Yellen are not paid for their oratory skill (and oratory skill is not something that is particularly valuable in her current or previous roles). They are paid because they are smart, accomplished, respected, and well known. When an organization has them come speak, people want to come listen and it lends the hosting organization prestige.
Dude, I mean to copy the existing test.

Also it takes much less than to get a scrip, just those shitty questionnaires.

And I would if it time well spent if it helped me and others to manage their illness.
MacPorts has definitely always been the more correct and better way to do the job Brew claims to do.

But "brew" & "homebrew" is just a more charming and hipster name for a newbie to write in his blog for other newbies to follow, repeat eleventy-seven-hundred times.
Why do you need to test the content of their character...? Is that really necessary for an academic institution? And wasn’t that originally done by the Ivy League (I think Harvard actually started it) to discriminate against Jews who were being accepted at a greater rate than “ideal” Protestants?
I think you dont know what the term fair use means.

Commercial use of a copyrighted work in a way that directly competes with the purpose the work is being sold for is almost certainly not fair use. Hell its almost the definition of what something not covered by fair use would be.

IANAL
I would like to make a shout out to quickcheck (Haskell, https://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck) as it was my first introduction to property based testing and has since let me to use property based testing everywhere in the last 10 years. Then there is scalacheck (https://www.scalacheck.org/). Both let you write your own generators and are quite good at shrinking down to minimal use cases.

The suggestion elsewhere in this thread to decrease the number of iterations during normal testing and crank it up during nightlies is also good.

The only thing I’m still missing from the libraries is a convenient mechanism of remembering previously failing generated inputs and use them as a static list of testcases next to the at runtime generated ones like a regression test of sorts.

Edit: typos
I think your view of China is ignorant, not the GP.

There othering of a whole nation is only going to make the situation worse. They have different political and cultural values and yes some morally questionable actions... but so do all countries.

In terms of Canada/US relations... Canadians were imprisoned (and put to death?) in China because of the very questionable US indictment of Huaweis CFO... how was that good for Canada?
It's not. People arbitrarily complicate their personal workflows, especially having years of habit predating the existence of modern tools, but this is a voluntary decision to make local development complicated and you can choose not to work that way.

As an example, any time Homebrew ships a new update I run “pipx reinstall-all” and, for local projects, I let pipenv / poetry rebuild the virtualenv the next time I use it. This is automated and takes far less of my time than, say, managing dependency updates.
This is the opinion of most economists.
Nobody is saying that we should not be investigating Citadel or Robinhood or the hedge funds. The problem is that people are treating these conspiracy theories as facts and acting on this misinformation. Many people got duped into buying GME at a heavy loss. Others are going to abandon the stock market altogether because they think it's rigged.
If you have 500ms ping on any sort of internet enabled software the problem is not the internet, it's something local to your building or computer.

100ms or less has been normal for over a decade on the most average connections. I have 60ms on my phone hot spot.
Until 2017, I haven't seen anyone that could raise capital from total strangers and start a company. In 2019 I was working at one of the many companies that did just that.

Until last year, I haven't seen anyone so investing in derivatives without a bunch of capital and access to a reliable brokerage. Today, you can do it without even having a bank account on your name.

> Are you in production? Or just think this is a good idea?

I am not in production, but the thought of creating business and opportunities that do not require trust between parties seems amazing to me.
Looks like a useful jobs site
> Youtube had no established, better alternative to compete with.

If you're comparing game streaming to consoles, then the fair comparison is to every other source of video entertainment that predates YouTube. Like: DVD, VHS, network TV, cable TV, bootlegs, etc. They had EVERY alternative to compete with, and almost all of them were better in some way or another. YouTube was (and is) simply better in ways that matter even more.

That being said, maybe latency will never improve. Maybe no matter how much pipe you have, the fundamental speed limit of light is enough to ruin this whole concept for gaming. Maybe.

But I doubt it, personally. I'm willing to bet that this is an idea that simply needs technology to catch up to it.
Melvin had already closed out their short position in GME by the time Citadel invested in them.
