> I wonder, when you already run this within PyCharm, why not just set breakpoints and use the PyCharm debugger?

It's not just PyCharm. A debugger can be set up in many other development environments, but it seems some people refuse to use a debugger. I've seen this more in the PHP community, where people swear that they'll never use a debugger and say there's no need to learn because putting `var_dump` everywhere is better.

For sure, packages like these have their places, but if you're using it for debugging, you're doing software development wrong.
Running in gluconeogenesis permenantly isn’t biochemically ideal (at least for early growth)
"The current plan for the first-ever attempt at powered, controlled flight on another planet is [...] to take off from Mars' Jezero Crater on Sunday at 10:54 pm US eastern time (0254 GMT Monday) and hover 10 feet (3 meters) above the surface for a half-minute, NASA said."

Set your alarms :)

If the given time is actually take off, we can expect images from the flight at the earliest around 11:10pm (E(S?)T)/ 03:31 AM (GMT) as Earth and Mars are currently at a distance of 15 light minutes from each other.

Honestly it's really really hard to say for sure.

It's not super likely, because we don't have the epidemiological data (increased deaths from non-influenza pneumonia at a large scale) to support that, to my knowledge.

It's certainly possible. And it is true that our methods of detection of viruses are ill-equipped so you can assume we're almost always behind the curve a bit.

But there also isn't much more than anecdote to support this. Lots of people get influenza-based pneumonia in the winter. Could you consider the possibility that your recollection is now tainted? And that you are primed to notice those events more? It was also already a very bad flu season. See here:

Another kind of issue is that early reports of "SARS-2 positive serum!" were overblown, which colored a lot of news reports on this. They basically made the tests too "promiscuous" so they also detected antibodies against common cold coronaviruses. That was a big problem. If you're curious about how tests like this work, you can check out this other post I wrote on that! Antibody tests are actually my specialty!

Although wood was available, the precision metal tools and skills required to fabricate light-weight spoked wheels were not widely available

Precision machining was possible, e.g. Antikythera mechanism, but so rare that only one instance has been found.

So maybe... the ancient bicycle existed - we just haven't found it!

BTW: TFA includes several pre-chain bicycles, but every so often I marvel at bicycle chains. I couldn't make one from scratch. The precision machining and the steel itself were impossible to manufacture just a few scant centuries ago.
In my company this was done rather less hacky-ly in PHP: the logger accepted an exception and printed its backtrace. Stray exceptions are captured at the top. ‘Idea’ IDEs already recognize paths like ‘/dev/printstack/examples/example.py:3’ and link them straight to the line. In the web logger interface, that was linked to the web git interface (in theory could be linked to a custom desktop protocol though). In the terminal, e.g. iTerm can process various formats on hover and link to apps or custom protocols.

Custom protocols are generally an okayish glue between the browser and other apps, e.g. you can add notes to Org-mode or call other Emacs functions. And the protocols also work from other apps, of course—like Alfred.
> No other engineering field has anywhere near the complexity.

I’m a software engineer, so am not qualified to say this, but I highly doubt this is true.
Quickly and cheaply. People who only do development tend to look at every problem as some code they need to write.

We saved multiple customers a lot of time and money by just doing minor load balancer or web server configurations, rather than letting their developers doing a custom application to handle things like proxying or URL rewrites. Similarly we also frequently have to ask customers why they aren't offloading work to their databases and let it do sorting, selection, aggregation or search.

Having just a small amount of knowledge about what your existing tools can actually do for you, and knowing how to "Lego" them together solve a large number of everyday problems.
I love how so many things start and stop at vitamin D as if without sun we would have no existence. That's like superman.
True, but don’t forget that the frequency and severity of those fits of irrationality depends tremendously on how accepted irrationally is (and what personal consequences it carries). I know it sounds like a contradiction, but I think we need both high standards and an understanding that working together on intellectual tasks is hard.
The words individually could indeed be French but we'd use the oblique case here, "et toi (aussi), Procter & Gamble?".

Also, I'm not sure what the usage would be in classical Latin, but using the singular to talk about a company in French seems perfectly appropriate. IIRC it's the Brits who like to use the plural for companies and institutions.
No. That is not in fact the point of business. It's a necessary condition that businesses cover their expenses and maybe make a little profit. But making money is no more the point of business than eating food is the point of life.
Or maybe they have just learned something—these are students, not seasoned professionals.
I consider Kaczynski an environmentalist and he's an anarchist.

Take a time machine and move him straight from 1978 to 2018, what would he target? My guess is data centers would be on the list.
That would have been tragic if alternative outcomes were different.

But looking at the results achieved in public schooling, that doesn't appear to be the case.
I bring this up because I remember arranging similar things with my parents as a child. The walk home from school was moderately long for a kid (4 ish miles) and if it was raining it was uttterly miserable. So I could shelter in the railway station and call home for a lift - but I rarely had the money and hell it was two bags of crisps for a single call. So two missed calls in a row while it was raining was signal to my mum "come get me at the station!"

I think I am saying that I am old enough that I span generational shifts in wealth.
> This is closer to the way that humans perceive the world — mapping between whatever aspect of external reality you are interested in and the data model is an order of magnitude easier than with relational databases.

One approach to modeling data based on mappings (mathematical functions) is the concept-oriented model [1] implemented in [2]. Its main feature is that it gets rid of joins, groupby and map-reduce by manipulating data using operations with functions (mappings).

> Everything is pre-joined — you don’t have to disassemble objects into normalised tables and reassemble them with joins.

One old related general idea is to assume the existence of universal relation. Such an approach is referred to as the universal relation model (URM) [3, 4].

Oh? If you're so confident, surely you can demonstrate that there are zero good reasons. I'll wait.
That’s super interesting.

Was not aware of those. My observations were mostly noted while trying to figure out why one specific browser wouldn’t simply not sync any custom containers. And then I noticed my fans spin up on my macmini. I only used system monitors at the time before just disabling the add-on.

I’ll definately look at those in the future. Didn’t even know they existed.
The part that particularly bothers me is the IoT nature of them. Even if they rely on proximity for automated events, you can manually watch and record at any time.

And no, that's not the same as looking out the window, because the S in IoT stands for security. As a neighbour to a fleet of crappy IoT cameras, I have no idea who's watching what I do I and around my house.
It's plain text. Chrome infers a wrong link, a couple other viewers I checked do not infer any link.
While this is definitely welcome news, GPU VFIO passthrough has been possible for awhile now. I've been playing games on my windows VM + linux host for a few years at least. 95% native performance without needing to dual boot has been a game-changer (heh).

I mean, it really depends on what's meant by "another orbit". Even the most minuscule change is "another orbit".
It's what we do at least. More than 60% of the work is maintaining old code/systems.
I remember this being discussed in a documentary a long time ago (I can't remember the name). A few other points suggested in documentary:

* Hemp/Marijuana was a popular source of fiber and competed with cotton. Cotton requires fertilizer and pesticides (marijuana does not), so the petrochemical industry were keen to squash it as a competitor. Interestingly they claimed it was temporarily legalized during WW2 to allow for rope production.

* Marijuana was also associated with sexual activity (and with both Mexicans & African-Americans). Another reason to portray it as a substance that was immoral.
Two gangs fighting over territory is what have caused civilians to be caught in the crossfire as long as gangs have existed. One risk civilians getting killed, the other risk you have to pay some of the money for a new bike (because it is insured I hope).
>Everyone knows that mutations that increase transmissability generally hurt morbidity. Is there some reason you think this supports zoonotic hypothesis? It is public knowledge RaTG13 was collected from a mine shaft where a similar virus killed 50% of infected workers and where WIV was doing significant sampling work.

Why would this support either hypothesis? The cleavage site clearly has nothing to do with RATG-13 and it is probably one of the main drivers of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. See here:

-https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03237-4

-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7457603/

But before you say "See! Gotcha! That means that the cleavage site is the smoking gun!"

It also looks, from a molecular perspective, like a natural recombination event. See here:

Well said. China botched it at the beginning. They could have prevented a worldwide pandemic, but they started acting to late. However, what I know now is that pretty much any western country couldn't have prevented a pandemic, if the origin of the virus would have been them.

I'm in Germany and the whole situation is a joke. Incompetence in any way possible, everywhere. Half heated "soft lockdowns" whenever things get worse, reopen everything as soon as it gets a little better, then be all surprised that incidents are on a rise again, rinse and repeat. Obviously every state does this without any coordination with neighboring ones.

And it's not surprising. Do you think any politician is even remotely qualified for the position they have? Usually you get your position as minister of health, or defense, or whatever, but because everything in Germany just goes its way and nothing is wrong, you do your four years, pass a few meaningless bills, and that's it. Now that we have a pandemic at our hands and the minister of health would have to actually do something for the first time in several decades, the whole spiel falls apart.

if you can enumerate these reasons and demonstrate that they don't apply any more, then you are in a good position to change the thing.

If you don't know what these reasons are, it is hard to know with certainty that they no longer apply.

I am in India and I pay $7 a month for 300mbps up and down, it's fiber optic technology afaik so ping is really good compared to the copper we had before.

The current governments economic incentives has really lit the BroadBand industry atleast where I live.

And where do I live? I live very close to Himalayas, it's nothing sort of a wonder considering fast speed internet is often limited to metros but man I love working remotely from nature and not feeling jailed in polluted Indian metros

I am waiting for EVs to pickup pace in India so that I can finally go back the apartment the I left in a metro city.
Yes I agree drugs should be more free but gangs fight for the territory or rights and innocent people have been killed in the crossfire.

Languages you must know #8 (Latex)
Latex. The language of communication.

Forget "markup languages" like markdown. Forget "auto-doc" languages like Doxygen.
Forget MSWord.

You're not writing "documentation", you're communicating to another person or, more likely, your future self.

In fact, what you WANT to write is a Literate Program. http://www.literateprogramming.com/

Literate programs have the actual source code embedded in the actual document. You extract the source code from the document and run it. It is always up to date.

Think about a physics textbook. All of the equations are "source code", all of the paragraphs are explanation. Could you learn physics if you just had the equations without the words? Then why would you expect anyone to maintain and modify your program with "only the equations", and no explanations (note: NOT documentation).

Some excellent literate programs are:

Latex is the language of science communication. Learn it. Live it.

Latex is a "must know" language.

I thought somebody might mention it, but since nobody did: a best boy grip is the chief assistant to the person in charge of building rigs and frameworks for things like cameras and lights.

Best boy basically means 'chief assistant', second in command kind of thing.

Grips build the structures which cameras and lights are hung on. They don't touch the electrics, gaffers and electricians do that: grips make the towers, stands, tracks: the physical stuff on which you put things.
To go further I think it's not exactly open source but remote-first that made software development scalable.

If you grossly simplify it to its innermost core, making development scalable means that if you have 10 times more people you can have 10 times more features/bugfixes/speed improvements/... The only way to do that is to make sure that an additional developer doesn't depend on other developers to work, and that can only happen if everything is properly documented, the build instructions are up-to-date, the processes are clear, basically anyone can start from scratch and get up to speed without the help of anyone else.

That kind of organization traditionally doesn't happen in on-site companies, where newcomers are followed by senior people, they have to follow some introduction course to familiarize themselves with the processes, they have to ask many questions every day, they need to be synchronized with other persons which brings some inefficiency beacuse everyone works at their own pace, etc... This all disappears when everything is properly documentend and every contributor can work in the middle of the night if they wish. I think the Gitlab Handbook goes over this quite well and describes a framework to implement that kind of organization but the rules are retrospectively obvious for people already used to open-source (https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/guide/):

- write down everything

- discussion should happen asynchronously. Any synchronous discussion (by text or call) should be only very small points. Whatever the type, write down the conclusions of that discussions

- Everything is public (to the organization), including decisions taken, issues, processes
I think it's mostly these NPE's. Start with companies filing hundreds of patents with no actual R&D
I agree that the virus is unlikely to have been engineered in the manner you describe. But, I'm wondering: where is this circumstantial evidence for the leak scenario, be it a natural sample or one that had some help evolving? (I also doubt the wet market scenario, but that one isn't nearly so contentious.)

Here's the thing: in my mind, anyone who wants to claim the virus escaped the lab as a result of an accident needs to show how someone could have gotten infected with it while working with it in a lab using BSL-3 precautions. We're all just walking around wearing plain old surgical masks, and sometimes not even that level of protection, but literally a piece of cloth is enough to reduce transmission of this virus significantly. Now, tell me how someone wearing full body PPE gets infected with it.

Even at BSL-2, any procedures that would create aerosols are done inside a containment vessel, so, I can't honestly see it happening there, either. And, it certainly wouldn't have been at BSL-1, as that's reserved for known non-pathogenic organisms. Basically, the criterion for a BSL-1 lab is "we grow bugs here, on purpose." Clearly, any of the bat coronaviruses they would handle at WIV would greatly exceed that level of precaution.

With that in mind, IMO, the real interesting bit this article had to offer was to suggest the possibility that the virus snuck into the lab. Given the virus's relative inability to spread via surface contact and necessity of aerosolized droplet spread, you still have to answer the question of how it got out, but, it's at least an intriguing origin story.

So, in summary, yes, the only correct answer we can really say for sure is "we don't know exactly where it came from, if it leaked out of a lab, and what might have been done with it while it was in the lab." But, I'm having a really hard time believing a virus that gets largely stopped by a simple mask could sneak out of a BSL-2+ lab.
As someone with quite a few left-wing friends, this comment was pretty funny to read. I have no idea why people think they can pick apart the inner machinations of the minds of people they've seemingly never spoken to, not into whose ideology they have the slightest insight or interest. Very strong "boomer opining at their suburban kitchen table about the problem with today's youths" energy.

Any given person who identifies as an antifascist is vastly more likely to have deeply sincere & considered political beliefs than essentially anyone else you know in your life.
Apps are heavily sandboxed. iOS controls all local information they can access, so Apple is in position to fight this.

It doesn't need to be perfect. Only hard enough that apps have to resort to more desperate techniques, so that they're detectable and Apple can ban them for trying.

Overall I don't like Apple's sandbox and total control over iOS, but it exists, and in this case at least they can use their power for something good.

I think a backhoe and a map of where all the fiber is would work better than a bunch of explosives. Construction folks find lots of unintended places where "redundant" paths converge, on accident. If you went about that with purpose, I imagine it could be very disruptive. Imagine a former employee from some place like Zayo with a grudge.
Thanks dang! Honored to have you respond to me at all :)
> I think most people who work in tech could use a bit of humility influenced by this line of thought: if a solution exists today, and it has yet to be replaced, it's at least possible that it's over all the best solution, and the reason you're not seeing that is because of a lack of understanding.

It also doesn’t have to be the best, and probably isn’t – the space of all possible bit strings large enough to encode Kubernetes is quite big. Being “good enough” is sufficient, and often the discussion really comes down to differing opinions on what that means. These is no uniquely and clearly defined objective function here. People need to stop thinking that theirs is the one and only.
Yeah, but why would anyone want to write programs? Oh, wait...
But that’s total conjecture. You’re just saying “well, if I made someone up, they’d target data centers.” My point is that the non-made up radical environmentalists/communists aren’t targeting data centers. My source is that in a previous iteration of this life, I happened to know a lot of communists and radical environmentalists.
That is a design patent that falls in the same category as the shape of a coke bottle and are related to ornamental design on an object that has practical utility.

They fall in a different subsection of patent law than the way to implement something.

Some of what you say about management is true. But if you really want to fully understand then you need to keep following that trail of incentives. Your bosses boss doesn't optimize for those metrics "just because". There are reasons and persuading them requires understanding those reasons. A company has only so much revenue. Wasting that revenue in the best case reduces profits. In the worst case it kills the company. Changing a perverse incentive requires understanding whether it is actually perverse or not and then proposing a compelling alternative that results in better results for the company.
Very well put down, I learnt an "intermediate-level" piano piece just like that (a very jazzy "fly me to the moon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW3w8kV-Xmo) without having ever played piano (I do play another instrument, which helps). It took weeks and weeks of grind, note-by-note, repeating hundreds of times to get your finger to synchronise and memorise, but you get there! Great to show off, people think you're a fairly good pianist, but I can play almost literally nothing else haha :)
