The more I observe this situation the more I'm fascinated by the dynamic of his releasing an internal dependency to homekit as a "public library" leaning on the public infrastructure provided by python to distribute a dependency that he's actively hostile to anyone else using.

IANAL but it seems to me that even if he switches to some custom no redistribution/repackageing license unless he stops using pypi's infrastructure he's granting all pypi users the right to publish the code independently. By uploading it to pypi he's explicitly given all users of pypi the right to publish it[1].

I think you're exaggerating a bit.

"It depends on the road surface, but 10 years ago the standard was 23mm tires at 8 or 8.5 bar, or 115, 120 psi," Brown said. "And now it's 25mm for regular road racing and 7 to 7.5 bar for front and rear, so a little less than 100 to 110 max on the bikes."

2mm and 10psi less is not that huge a difference.
Something is even wrong with going to coordinates... I entered 53,40 and it took me to 53.437500,39.375000.

I'm guessing the hash is what ends up in the URL which is https://mro.name/g/uc
Static friction being constant regardless of contact surface presumes a uniform surface consistency (uniform frictional coefficient).

Large (an knobby) tyres are a statistical bet that there will be sufficient friction somewhere on the contact patch. When riding over nonuniform surfaces (dust, loose pebbles, twigs, mud, leaves, and embedded rock), that's a gamble the large and contoured tyre is far more likely to win.

On a velodrome deck, not so much, and cross-sectional area, thermal losses from compressive deformation, angular momentum, etc., favour thinner tyres and higher inflation pressures.

It doesn't take much to interview and double your comp. You don't have to interview at Google or Facebook to double your comp - many pre-IPO startups are paying up and their interview processes are often less rigorous.

If you're happy with your situation then more power to you. But something tells me deep down inside, you're not OK with it. I'm here to tell you that a couple weeks of prep and looking around can go a long way.
Yeah, my roady friends are jealous because I get to use my gravelbike off-road, and my mountainbike friends are jealous at me for being able to keep up with roadies. And all that for the price of one bike and an extra set of wheels with slicks!

Canyon Grail here, yes the one with the weird cockpit :)
That’s the first order effects, however substances deform under pressure which is just one of many complexities involved. For car tires on dry pavement you get maximum grip from racing slicks. Unfortunately they need to swap in the rain.
In such countries you can usually pay a reasonable price (fully known upfront!) to skip the line.
Of course it’s not transactional, that’s why i said that it’s nice to have a good relationship with your parents even as a grown up.

My only point is that it’s absurd to talk about “abandoning your children” when these children are close to and over 30!

Actually, this seems like a coherent position: they believe that fetuses are somewhat like a human person, but not entirely. They should generally be protected, but in exceptional cases might not be.
The rabbits (and probably the name Easter), I believe (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) come from the pagan festival of Eostre, a goddess symbolized by a rabbit. Although I've also heard that Easter comes from Ishtar, so who knows?

Easter definitely didn't originate with Christians, though. One of the things that made Christianity's spread so successful (apart from having the force of the great colonial empires of the Western world behind it) was the strategy of syncretizing and recontextualizing local pagan rituals, holidays, deities and (for better or worse) entire mytho-histories around Christianity.
This may seem coldly logical but in the absence of my own researched opinions, I am evaluating the merit of the opinion about these interviews based on their origin:

You have - companies that settled on this process, who have been able to attract top tallent that has cleared this bar.

You have - employees of these companies that were able to clear the interview bar.

And then you have - people who don't work for these companies, proclaim to have no interest/ability to clear the bar, but claim to have a valid view into where the bar should be.

In the absence of other data it doesn't seem like the last group is likely to be objectively right

Thanks for this, I’ve been looking for a good run thru like this all day. There’s a lot (70 odd tweets) in that linked thread anyone looking for the summation can look here https://twitter.com/drvconway/status/1404425167699382278?s=2...

There is little in the analysis that gives me comfort. FG are the law and order party but paradoxically they have a history of passing poorly conceived laws presumably because they don’t feel the downsides will ever apply to them, and to provide enough legal ambiguity for those well connected to wriggle free. Ambiguity also good for the legal folk that constitute the rank and file of their membership.

They are currently shored up in coalition with another establishment party (FF) and the greens so it’s conceivable that much of this could get through without challenge.

Of course it’s important to remember that it is kite flying season and there is a battle for hearts and minds with the main opposition party (Sinn Féin) so it might just be a matter of whipping up their conservative base.
The brain drain is real, at least in the case of the petroleum engineers. Most of them left years ago to work for Petrobras or Pemex. I have heard mexican engineers complain about venezuelans coming in and undercutting the labor market. This was 10+ years ago, after Chavez fired 80% of the engineers.
I think everybody has their own breaking points but mine was today. If I hadn't of spent so much of my life here I probably would have just left and been done with it.

If you follow the thread all the way down (and elsewhere, e.g. HA & Fedora communities), you'll see that the author does not seem to truly hold to his own statement that he "cannot stop [them]", and proceeds to attempt to bully them into compliance (despite many efforts by them to come to a compromise that may suit him)

If a policy is effective and correct, I would not call it extreme.

I guess it depends on the definition of extreme, but I would not think "good" policy would be extreme in the sense that it has (whether real or perceived) negative externalities on a large portion of the population. Two years ago, I (and perhaps the country) would have said the PPP for paychecks would have been extreme. Given the (extreme) circumstances that occurred, it became a reasonable approach.

I would argue people that shut down dialogue are advocating for an extreme position (e.g. doing nothing and maintaining status quo can be an extreme approach in some cases).

I don't know if single-payer health care is too extreme, but any and all options should be discussed, and a reasonable course of action should be taken. I think most people agree that the current situation we have is a broken mess of half-measures. I don't think we're stuck with an either-or situation. [This feels like the most Yogi Berra thing I've ever written]

There is merit to discussing chopping off the finger or doing nothing. Both solutions are worth understanding - one avoids gangrene and the other saves the finger at the potential for the infection. Given no other choices or options available, the decision maker will have to choose one option or the other. But when other alternatives exist (e.g. modern medicine), creating a false dichotomy between the two camps yelling the loudest is not an optimal approach.
They're not going to be unemployed, they're going to find a better job. In my mostly-uninformed opinion I think that remote work has allowed a lot of people to search for work in other locations and this has radically changed the way the employer-employee economy works. In smaller job markets talented workers didn't have much choice about where to work and there were factors to changing jobs (like commute distance) that made them rule out a lot of places.

Now, there's an abundance of positions available remotely all over the country and you can shop around for a good fit.

In this case it seems NixOS is just trying to exercise the “take it” option, but the author only wants to offer them the “leave it” one. If it’s actually “take it or leave it,” what’s the issue?
Yes, they will, but protection is not the only way to solve a health problem, and if that protection comes at unacceptable cost, then it's possible for treatment to be the better option.

It doesn't mean that's the case here, but it's certainly possible. The suppression of discussion of it means it's hard to really know.
I mean things will probably settle down in 6-12 months. But that's a problem for companies trying to hire today, who need to get shit done in the next 6-12 months
Per advice from Daniel from HN (thank you!), I have reposted this Ask HN I made earlier about immutability. [1]

I was thinking the other day about my days working with Ruby On Rails and how the strings are mutable in Ruby and the freeze method. My mind wandered about that, the several freeze packages that exist (even the frozendict [2] package) that make frozen classes of objects.

I haven't worked professionally with Haskell or Erlang, but some of their functional capabilities are nice and have ejerced a big influence in my work with Ruby on Rails and Python. Specially the ideas of having immutable objects and keeping updates at minimum.

I thought on doing a freeze package that could make frozen objects recursively in Python. The idea is to make easier to share objects between threads without having to worry about updates inside threads.

However, I'm not sure that this package is useful at all. Maybe is because Python is not a well-suited language for this? Maybe is because my lack of knowledge about functional programming? Maybe is because it doesn't make sense to "freeze" objects?

Some ideas I have in the back of my mind for this package are:

- Some kind of basic datastore-server where data is immutable (threaded server?).
- Storing all updates some kind of super-object by storing all history as immutable objects.

What are some sources to learn about immutability on programing languages? How could you use a freeze package in Python or other languages? Would it be useful to share information between threads?

Any advice/idea/feeback/criticism or comment on this matter is appreciated.

It seems that the author has posted again on the github issue after it got unlocked [0].

They do finally go into a little more detail about what their issues are with the packaging, beyond the single post with details originally in the thread.

> In the end, I think the way this project distributes Home Assistant (and its integrations, including Ambee) is not providing the intended working and thus may surprise the end user. In the end, those users are likely to knock on the doors of the Home Assistant project and their integration maintainers, not this project. As a matter of fact, most of my packages in this project are outdated and don't match the distributed version of Home Assistant.

They don't seem to address why they don't think that any of the proposed solutions would have addressed their concerns.

It's a bit tough to understand how you reconcile this position with your original paragraph.

>Attacking the center is always the craziest narrative to me. It's saying: not only is it not okay to disagree with me and be on the other side, it's also not okay to not passionately agree with my exact side. The only right way to view these complex issues is to sign your name to join my party and then hold the party line, and everything else is unethical. I can't imagine a more obnoxious political viewpoint than that.

Your position is that holding a position and critiquing those that don't hold it is the most obnoxious political viewpoint to take. How can you adopt and advocate for any political position, then, other than a 'non-position' which doesn't actually adopt any stance?
> It somehow seems like some of these people are more offended with the center than the other side.

I think this holds well beyond that particular subreddit. I think this is horseshoe theory in action. The klansman isn't the real threat, it's the moderate who won't toe the progressive line.
Surprised it took an entire comment chain for you to figure that out.
That's not really even close to true anymore... There have been a few studies that have attempted to update the Trinity study, like this one that gives an 89% chance of success even at a 3% SWR:

People in the FIRE communities are routinely discussing 3.5% and 3% SWR's, and see 4% as risky.
I was replying to OP: "Your position is a very strong affirmative for the current status quo. You don't want anyone to be able to enact change."
Using the term "disinfo" for "accurate but incomplete info" seems like an Orwellian misuse of the term.

Are there any credible sources indicating that Wikileaks selectively edited or chose what to publish based on political goals? I think they have some sort of process to validate legitimacy of leaks before they publish them, but I've never heard claims that they intentionally edited or chose not to leak information for Wikileaks own political goals.

Certainly possible that Russia leaked true-but-incomplete information to Wikileaks, but isn't, like, all discussion of reality true-but-incomplete?

Edit:
Sibling thread found a claim of selective editing I was not previously aware of.

I spent a night in the woods (on purpose, not a real emergency) sleeping with an emergency blanket. It was not at all comfortable, but the blanket seriously worked. I would wake up whenever it moved to stop covering me because it would instantly become cold, then feel much warmer as soon as the blanket is back in place.

The reflective action is impressive. They also act as a wind break and turn whatever clothes you are wearing into a more effective measure against convective heat loss.
I lived in Brazil for many years and read the local news closely.

Whenever the Economist published an article on Brazilian politics, it was generally far superior and far more insightful than anything in the local press. Which genuinely surprised me.

Remember -- most local news sources, whether in the US or Brazil, aren't nuanced at all. They're surface-level and sensationalistic.

But while Brazil has a home-grown news equivalent of Time ("Veja"), as well as USA Today (O Globo) it simply doesn't have any home-grown news source at the level of sophistication of the Economist, not even for domestic news.

Here's a pretty interesting article discussing Le Tour slowly getting wider and wider tires, compared to a decade ago [1]. Granted their use case is going to be at a very different scale than most rec/serious non-pro riders. But I know that most all my friends and I ride 28s on our road bikes these days compared to 23s a long time ago. More comfort and more forgiving.

My current road bike maxes out at 28, but I'd probably go a little wider if I could due to the nature of the roads around here (lots of potholes, chunks, crappy shoulders, etc...)

Twenty-Week Outliers: An Exploratory Data Analysis of the Billboard Hot 100
They weren’t side projects if they were your main projects. Think of it as self employment and find a way to spin that.

If you applied to a job I have, I’d mostly interview you like a normal person, and then I’d say “If you’ve on your own for 9 years, are you sure you really want a normal job? I want to hire you. But this is a job, and that means sometimes you’re gonna have to put up with this company’s bullshit. Even though we do our best to keep the bullshit to a minimum, we still deal with crap we’d rather not do. Tell me why you’re interested and willing to put up with bullshit, and don’t just tell me you need the money.” If you have a good answer to that question, I think you’ll be fine for a job that matches your value proposition.
Haha, cool idea! I thought we might had this discussion sometime internally. The truth is we haven't got time to explore it yet.

One possible difficulty I see is still how do we collect the face data / body data. Image generation has a strong bias toward domain -- meaning if we use one kind of faces during training, we will need that same kind of face during inference (with the same angle, lighting, etc..). It's possible but need more thoughts on how to ask users for good image.

I think that's one reason we avoid user uploaded images so far, bc it's hard for users to understand exactly what kind of image we need, and why their images doesn't work well sometimes. There's a lot to explore on this front before we can get a market ready product.

Regardless, cool idea, appreciated:)
