What do you mean? You mean for installing Python apps on your computer? I just use `pip install --user` for that.
It's really about b/c rather than a, and it's not really about 'serial', it's about having differential signaling, an embedded clock (eg. 8B10B coding) and having multiple lanes that tolerate a length mismatch (and realigning them dynamically using some kind of marker in the data). You can have any one of those three things and get some of the benefits. Note that one thing that isn't special is having 1 lane, and in fact few 'serial' protocols (eg. PCIe) actually use 1 lane.

If you think about PCIe we moved from a 32-bit bus (32 wires bidirectional) to x16 slots with 64 wires in total (16 lanes, 2 directions each, +ve/-ve for each). Maybe you consider AGP as the true precursor of x16 PCIE, but that was also 32 I/O lanes. So there wasn't a wire saving.

The truth is if you want very high data rates over medium or long distances then you have to go with 'serial' (the three points above) and you can get anywhere between 2.5Gbps and 54Gbps per differential pair depending on the technology. If you are willing to have shorter distances then you can get up to something like 6.4Gbps per pin and it'll use less power (vastly less power if the data rate goes down to <1Gbps per pin), but you won't be able to reach as far. Technologies like HBM use single-ended (non-differential) signaling and make up for this with huge amounts of very short wires (up to a thousand or so).

Given the constraints of the technology if I was designing RAM right now with no legacy baggage I'd chose single-ended signaling, and if I was designing a high-speed I/O slot I would choose differential signaling. So it's all quite sensible and rational.
Depends on the context.

It's one thing to get down-voted for pointing out some ideologically inconvenient thing or asking a question that's tough to answer in a logically consistent manner.

But this was a question about rocks. It's hard to find less inflammatory subject matter than that. All people had to do was take it at face value and not click a button. But they didn't they assumed bad intent. Behavior like that reflects upon the community in the same way that Reddit thinking you can't buy or sell goods via classified ads without a high likelihood getting scammed (to pick one example) is a reflection on that community.

Not to deride from the rest of your comment which I thought was solid commentary but this particular line is not true. Yes it is true the over whelming majority of people have no intention of doing this. But it only takes one or a few people to transform a space. Stuff like boondocking, stealth camping, vagrancy, and alternative living is relatively speaking more popular than people would think and really only kept in check by the threat of the justice system and active policing.

True. But once the votes start going one way or the other and the sheep can see how they're supposed to feel about a comment the votes really go wild in that direction. Controversial things here tend to bounce around a low net number of up/down votes a lot more.

My experience is the opposite, with .NET Core I can manage multiple versions of the SDK with my linux package manager and not an external tool. Then in each project I specify which SDK I want to use and what dotnet tools to install.

If you trust your local connections over a socket, you may also map the OS user with which the App is running locally to the postgres database user in the pg_ident.conf. We could use that map through peer authentication mode for local connections through that App OS User.

That time should have some provisions for the amount in it or not? I mean; if he does give them the password, does he get significantly less time or the same time? If it's the same, I would feel less morally conflicted about using the money afterwards as I already did my time, in part, as payback for the amount. But yeah, he committed substantial fraud, so not sure if the word moral enters anywhere in this conversation.
Yes, very. I occasionally have a day where I cannot remember my master password for my password manager. Often after a prelonged break or change of context.
I think there's a middle ground between "unrestricted predatory lending" and short term lending. The payday loan industry spends a lot of money on lobbying to push things to the former end (see attached article about 1000% interest rates), and have been very successful [1]. (But the overall lack of a social safety net in the US is due to moneyed interests that go well beyond the payday loan industry.)

Yours is a typical HN binary take that holds a thing must be an utterly unalloyed good or it must be banned, there's no middle ground for a thing to be useful when moderated and regulated, and predatory in other circumstances. This is a very common intellectual failure mode.

> the term "HTML5" is widely used as a buzzword to refer to modern web technologies

This is because HTML5 includes elements like canvas, which is useless without JavaScript, but JavaScript would also be much less useful in the browser without canvas. So "HTML5" is a useful shorthand for what is made possible with HTML5-level browsers https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/scripting-1.ht...

Also this is post-HTML5 (HTML is now a living spec without version numbers), but the HTML standard now actually does include a bunch of JavaScript API specs, such as web workers https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/workers.html#introduc...

TIL. Thanks.

I really want this phenomenon explained.

Slippery slope fallacies, concern trolling, whataboutism, pearl clutching, feinting spells, Copenhagen Effect (blame anyone who tries to help for the original problem), Alistair Cockburn's wisdom about organizational change (tldr: people really, really hate change, of any kind, for any reason).

It's exhausting.
If I was going to use a Raspberry Pi for commercial use I would want full control over the OS and use Open Embedded etc, just like I have done for NXP etc. That way I have full control over my system. I think the alternative of using Raspberry PI OS and the dependency on updates on Raspberry Pi and their suppliers is too risky. So this is a non-issue for me.
This is probably my biggest beef with the "culture" of software development nowadays.

Back in my day (hold on while I go grab my cane...) software developers would just flap their lips and sound would come out at each other.

Nowadays there seems to be this underlying assumption that actually talking to each other is a waste of time, that it should all be documented with no curation, and should always be in PR's, et al.

I'm all for documenting decisions, but I feel like it's not too much effort to swing by someone's office and have a discussion with them. At that point, maybe you don't even need to document if the updates are small issues. Is it really so all-encompassingly important?

But maybe I'm just old. Most of the time I'd rather talk to a human when I call into tech support too (unless it's something obviously automated like making a payment).
Apt I can agree, it's still the gold standard of package manager and powers the most popular distributions out there in bajillion cloud instances.

Sure, but SPI is basically a parallel bus that's 1-bit wide. It has all the hallmarks (separate clock and single-ended signaling), so adding extra bits was an easy thing.
The media are extremely vulnerable to being fed bullshit in the form of press releases and repeating stories of the form "source said X" without determining if X is actually true (which may be extremely difficult!)
Mozilla has also shot itself in the foot by alienating Firefox's core userbase (power users) with terrible attempts to copy Chrome in a (failed) attempt to cater to idiots.

They ended up trading off powerful extensions for what? A terrible, slower copy of Chrome with Pocket and a share button built into the browser. Seriously.

One thing that I would really like to see is a sort of hybrid between Factorio and a colony type game. Imagine that instead of crash landing by yourself, you crash land with an entire group of people that you have to protect and provide for while you bootstrap yourself up to getting everybody off planet. For those who don't like biters, it can provide another means of making pollution matter. For those who do, it adds another interesting complication.

Along with that, I'd like to see more green energy. Wind power, for instance, could be an early game technology that competes with boilers. Naturally it would need to cost more and / or produce less. Perhaps also geothermal power that must be generated at a particular location.

Of course, more could be done with water. Boats, offshore resources, aquatic biters? Depletion of water resources so you don't have a one tile pond cooling 4 nuclear reactors? Or making the water less useful the more polluted it is.

So many possibilities.
This is not true at all.
The last SimCity was terrible in a lot of ways (online requirements, small areas, bugs, etc) but it had the best simulation out there: an one 1:1 car / population that made city and road planning a true joy for the nerdiest players like me. Literally every aspect of city planning had an impact on that simulation, and you could follow every car and knonw it was there for a reason. This means that if you have a really bad traffic state every aspect of your city goes on fire.

On the other hand Cities skyline has a lot of other cool factors but traffic simulation comes really short. It is just derived from statistics of the city but there is no 1:1 link to be found, so you can just guess what aspects of the city has some coefficient on the traffic algorithm, and the worst part is that if you happen to plan something really wrong, well, nothing happens. Cars and utility veichles litterally start to DESPAWN from the road and the traffic jam goes puff. Yes the statistics go down a bit, but everything else goes on like nothing ever happened. That was the deal breaker for me

True. Further complicating matters, I believe there is a correlation between misunderstanding and willingness to share anecdotes (across the general population, not specific to this thread).

> at least somewhat helpful information is infinitely better than having nothing at all

Maybe, at least as long as we still have a good ratio between reliable and unreliable info (whatever that ratio may be). But as long as someone can piggy-back on this reputation, and most people simply take all that info for granted, the effect of a disingenuous Wiki article is far higher than your average FB "fake news". It's that implicit trust that makes a Trojan horse more dangerous.

There is no action being taken to make this process of correcting information more open and transparent, and out of the hands of a few people. Especially since it's been shown in the past that this kind of power was sold for money in PR campaigns, or used for revenge edits.

Checkout Hylang, a Lispish language that compiles to Python, or maybe a Lispish syntax for Python? You can write pieces of code in .hy files and import them from .py files and vice-versa.

And then you have macros like in macros that traverse and transform code.
"Just fork" underestimates the huge amount of effort it requires to develop a modern browser that stays up to date with the latest web standards. There's a reason why even Microsoft's browser now is based on Chromium.
Does it make homebrew less valuable if there are other package managers for other OS’s that have more users?
I tried Factorio a year ago and I couldn’t get very far, it all seemed like such a chore. DSP has charmed me though, I’m really digging the ambiance and zen like calm combined with the rapid ability to tear down and refactor.

Not even off the first planet yet but the motivation to reach other stars and check out the black hole is real but not pressing, because I have production lines to optimize!

One thing I am realizing is to spread things out more, there’s so much room on the planet and many ore deposits I am starting to give certain production lines their own resource harvesting systems.

Oh and the “hash rate” research mechanic is pretty satisfying, feels very crypto.

It’s cool that it’s so chill in that I can go afk while things are running and not worry about any devastation, I hope they don’t take that aspect of the game away... on my Minecraft server we disable those awful flying creatures for that reason. Totally ruined building at night and relaxing/idling in a well lit and secured base.
Apple has made it clear that they’re not interested in doing that. I believe them (for now).
Universal housing like SLC is doing is cheaper, more humane, and lightyears more effective.

PS- I just cleaned up after an encampment. After the city cleaned. 20 used needles (mostly insulin) and dozens of other sharps, human waste, soiled diapers, everything else you can imagine. I'm just so pissed off. No one should have to live like that. Just put people in homes. Safe, clean, access to services. Even triage with microhouses along with honeybuckets and potable water would be better.
If the government is paying the facility to continue holding/treating the “patient”, I don’t see how it’s in any meaningful way different nor impossible in Portugal.
The "ape" thing came out of a thread where WSB users were trying to figure out how to explain the GME situation to casual observers. The most popular explanation that came out of it used snakes as the shorts, shorting bananas, and the WSB users as apes[0].

This then was built upon with the "aps together strong" scene from the Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie [1].

But yeah, its a bit overdone.

Apple haven't quite convinced me they're serious about being in the pro design segment. They seemed to just quietly forget about graphics and video professionals, focusing on iOS and the consumer side instead.

Even the 8 colors can be suboptimal depending on the scheme.

E.g. Vim and Emacs try to determine whether your terminal background is light or dark, and use a somewhat different scheme depending on that.

However, determining whether it is light or dark is not straight forward. I did some research on how other tools (Vim, Emacs, many others) do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54652367/133374
I hated Python 2 because it did the Wrong Thing with integer division (it didn't cast to floats), so my attempts at simple scripts just didn't work.

I reencountered Python at a data science course that was somehow mandatory for my masters in ODE numerics. It has a HUGE availability of standard and third-party packages, so you can be INSANELY productive. I'd write in Brainfuck if it was the only way to have like Pytorch and giotto-tda and networkx and fastapi in the same room.

In practice code review allows 1 or 2 people on the team to insist on their preferences throughout the project.

I once saw a 3-4 line fix turn into a rewrite of an entire page that took several full-time days to finish because the developer didn't like the original fix. I've seen a former DBA turned software dev insist on using nulls throughout the codebase rather than empty strings and ignore the argument that's not considered good practice as a software developer because they themselves are "now software developers".

And the rebuttal is always the same, "well you're just doing it wrong". Maybe, but it gets done wrong more often than right.

I'm not against code review per se, but the number of times I've seen silly and arbitrary changes because of one developer's sensibilities is way too high.

People always criticise Python for dependency management, but I've never found it to be that bad. virtualenv with requirements.txt has been completely fine in my experience with medium-sized projects. If necessary you can pin versions with a separate version-locked requirements.txt, and populate that from a base requirements file.
