A simple workflow that doesn't use Docker:

* Exactly as parent comment says, feel free to use the system Python but install packages with the system package manager (sudo apt install python3-numpy etc.). NEVER run sudo pip anything.

* Use virtual environments (either venv or virtualenv) and do not use sudo for this. Keep these within your home directory (either within or next to relevant project directory if that's your preference, or within something like e.g. ~/envs/).

So using Docker is making your workflow harder IMO because it's harder than the above and doesn't offer any benefits.

Not sure what you mean by "no script using pip will break your install". Why would you run pip from a script? Once you've activated your virtual environment, you'd just run pip install -r requirements.txt. And what is "your install" that you'd break? You can't break your system Python with pip because pip doesn't have sudo access to break it. And it can't contaminate any virtual environments except the one that's active because it doesn't even know about them.
This isn’t a very convincing article at all.
> This makes sense for laptops and smartphones, as it can save power and thus run longer when being powered by batteries. But (in my opinion) not for Desktop PC's where most people care more about computing performance than saving a few watts.

You're probably right about laptops and smartphones. I don't have a view on whether you're right about desktops, but I think it's probably not true for the big datacentre providers, who absolutely optimise for power and heat.

If the only niche that doesn't care about power is the desktop, and desktops are absolutely a niche when compared to the total market of smartphones, laptops and datacentres, I suspect power efficiency is coming to the desktop whether you want it or not, whether it's a positive or not, if only because of economies of scale as far as chip development and production goes.
they just write 10x more productivity, which should mean on average workout other qualifiers. clearly that's impossible for any non gaslighting definition of productivity.
OK, UK clarification...

He says: ' The house is what in English apparently is called an allotment.'

In the UK, allotments are about 250 square metres, and can only have a small shed on them that does not having running water or electricity. They are specifically considered 'temporary' structures, and you are not allowed to live in them.

The 'house' he shows, is massive compared to a 2.5m x 2m shed you typically see on British allotments.

That said, kudos on converting it into a liveable home. If only this option was more available to zero-income or homeless people....
Tether is on record as censoring transactions (remember the Poly Network fiasco?). They are clearly centrally controlled despite being a token on the Ethereum network.

Whether they should have censored transactions in that instance is irrelevant. The fact remains that the coin does not belong to it's holders.

Intel’s Best DPU Might Not Be Commercially Available
I'm a firm believer that at certain scales, competition becomes impractical to the point of irrelevance. The incentive structure has to exist to draw competitors into capital intensive markets like this and it just isn't there.

As the article points out, this company has been pressured at geopolitical scales to deny China access. The fact the US government recognizes the value in denying China access because competition becomes impractical says a lot. China is filled with technical and engineering talent no different than the rest of the world and has its fair share of capital as an economic powerhouse. There's a lot of incentives for the government and people of China to develop their own competitor but it's recognized that this is impractical due to the level of proprietary knowledge, instruments, and skills needed to recreate the device. I'm confident they can produce a competitor if they choose but it'll be decades without any real competitor.

Now pretend you're not the PRC but Joe Sixpack in the US and you want to enter the market. We need to drop these ridiculous ideas of competition regulating the markets. Even injecting VC money here is probably at irrelevant scale. I'm all for competition but we need to look for new models of market regulation. Competition just isn't it in many cases.
This is immature right now, but it needs users to grow because I think pyflow has it right: it ships a pre-build binary of Python instead of compiling it like pyenv. This makes the result way more reliable, both for a installation success and env congruency.

Just like pyenv, it needs no admin rights, and isolate the python completely from the system. It guaranties that pip, venv and tkinter.

Basically, it removes 90% of the problems you can get when installing Python.
that will need to bootstrap first, and you won't be able to use such GC code in the initialization code for the OS.

GC code using Boehm would not be suitable for device drivers nor realtime code.

I can understand where making it available for higher level systems is desirable.

I could envision the kinds of alternative GC systems that could be inbuilt given the knowledge an OS may have about a process or a sub-system etc.
Alternatively, Objective C settled upon reference counting (ARC) and this is superior to GC where it counts.

Where do you envision the GC bootstrapping and how do you see it interacting with virtual memory and your malloc implementation?
That's probably true in general but ASML surely isn't a good example.

Massive capital investment and extraordinary long term planning are the things that are sometimes considered to be difficult for the private sector.
I agree on both (great books, great lectures, but not everything stands the test of time).

But the good thing is that the book is very well referenced. So whenever I wondered "Is that really true?" or simply "Why?" I was able to find the original paper(s)/source(s) and then take it from there. For me, that is the gold standard of writing a science book.

This feels defensive to me, like the author doesn’t want to admit they can be swayed and instead are more like a rational homo economicus.

The idea that people can be swayed in their opinions by just a couple images absolutely makes sense to me. The first example that occurred to me- people in America lost their minds a few years ago when a picture circulated of a high school student face-to-face with an adult man. Now you might say that reaction happened because of other emotional affiliations and the image was playing on events happening at the time, and that’s true, but ads can do all that too.

The author elides this by saying most ads don’t manage to do that. Yeah most ads fail to work in this way, but I don’t think it’s for lack of trying. People in the ad industry just don’t always do their jobs that well, every batter isn’t Babe Ruth. The Ad Contrarian is a good read on this point.

How is it irrelevant? The highlighted quote in the article excerpt says 'Kauffmann claimed that the instance of female students refusing to date Trump supporters provides evidence of "progressive authoritarianism"' which seems extremely on-topic to me.
How so? Architecture?
When did this happen? I think I've read somewhere that process node size stopped being a meaningful indicator even decades ago.
This is an interesting POV that I haven’t seen explained so clearly or forcefully before:

In my experience, it’s only two specific types of people who want their phones to work significantly more like PCs, permission-wise. The first group is comprised of the technically-savvy — like many of you reading this — who feel confident in their own ability to gauge the trustworthiness of third-party software. The second group is business-minded people, who are thinking only about what percentage of purchases goes to whom, and are only thinking about the money.

I suspect he’s dead right about the demographics there, at least. (I’m sure opinions here will differ on whether those elite groups have the right idea or not.)
CBN appoints six new directors, confirms Nwanisobi spokesman
My case for having 8 fast Firestorm cores instead of 4 fast + 4 slow cores is simple - the majority of Desktop PC users don't care about sacrificing performance to save a few watts. When a PC is running slow because of a cpu intensive task, nobody is going to appreciate that it is saving a few more watts.

And from the figures in the article, it looks like 1 Firestorm core is very roughly equal to 2 Icestorm cores -

Relative to their Firestorm times, Icestorms performed more slowly by:

190% running assembly language
330% running simd (Accelerate) library functions
280% running simple Swift
550% running ‘idiomatic’ Swift

So 5 or 6 Firestorm cores could have matched the current 4 + 4 config (disregarding the valid point you made about the die area).
Is it not a tautology that people are more likely to buy things they like? I assume that's kind of how we describe what it is to like something.
> The UK is easily among the most tolerant and least racist of European countries. In international studies, the UK scores very highly on all such measures, usually much better than continental European countries.

The point is not that the British society is more or less tolerant than the Italian society (and it certainly is more tolerant). The problem is that as a European I’ve never experienced xenophobia until 2016, while for some years after that every single Briton I talked to felt entitled to share with me some uneducated opinions about immigration and about my immigration status. These would range from some form of “you are a good migrant (sic) so you can stay”, to “only English people should live in England”. Some friends and colleagues, especially women who mixed with locals from the lower classes, have experienced more extreme forms of xenophobia, such as a doctor friend who stopped working outside of London because half of her patients were telling her to go back to her country (she was already naturalised then) on a daily basis. The locals trying to burn European flags (and failing miserably) weren’t really sending a welcome message.

You don't need any of that to do system programming in C#. Startup time of JIT runtime is not too bad. Similarly, garbage collector is fine if you don't load it too much (neither allocations/second nor bytes/second).

Here's my almost decade-old open source code which works for hours allocating very little (the process gets killed by the OS if exceeds 11MB of RAM): https://github.com/Const-me/SkyFM

Here's somewhat similar modern code, also multimedia related: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo
They have a monopoly in EUV lithography. If you might have competition in 5-10 years, then you have a monopoly.
This is spot on.
I personally know several people with UK Cat. C+E licences and there is a less than 0 chance that they will be working as lorry drivers any time soon.

[They work(ed) in the motor and film industries, the benefits and pay being in a completely different ballpark to haulage, even though driving large vehicles was a small part of the job]
They could also think about investing their excess money for some real returns.
Well in that case both are made by TSMC so it's comparable. But PassMark results in general are not that great (they use micro benchmarks that may not be representative or are optimised for by vendors).

More importantly, as pointed out by a sibling comment, the AMD CPU in question (like most mobile Intel CPUs) has a "configurable" TDP which is set higher on most products sold. And PassMark doesn't differentiate those and only mention the "official" TDP.

To PassMark credit, they give a distribution of performance scores, just compare the distribution of the Ryzen and the M1 and you'll see (you have to scroll down a bit to see the graphs) :

Ryzen : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+PRO+585...

M1 : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Apple+M1+8+Core+320...

In general, you can't compare TDPs even within a brand, they rarely mean what it used to mean a few years back as they "innovate" with various turbo mechanism and other OEM configurable settings.
I don’t know if the list has been updated since you posted but Vihart is listed.

The article makes the exact opposite claim: the cultural imprint does ot need to evoke a feeling in you, you just need to believe that others are associating the product with a certain image (to which the company hopes lots of customers will want to identify).

As the article argues, this also makes it more difficult to escape: you have no control over what others are seeing.

I have one of these people on my wife's side (not specific to covid).

Make your argument and give them your sources, once. If they don't buy it, then just drop it. There's usually no convincing them because they're committed to their position and will just continually defend it. Even pointing out incorrect facts and giving them counterpoints doesn't seem to work.
One of the great things about soccer is that its a sport for poor people. You just need a ball to be able to play, and it can be a really cheap ball.

Once you start adding equipment that'll change rapidly.
TL;DR; My personal advice is to keep talking to your loved ones with an open-minded dialogue.

I'm on a similar situation myself too; in my case my loved ones are well educated (physicists and biologists), and aged (over 60s & 70s).

You need to change your perspective and realise that for them, you are the person that believes on "fake news". During my talks with them, I've tried lots of different approaches to demystify some of their arguments; I made my own plots based on open data for COVID-19, I used well-sourced articles from newspapers or even published white papers, until I realised that the matter is based on opinionated believes rather than a lack of fact-checked information.

Now, I'm treating these conversations similarly to having a political discussion; there are some parts that we both disagree and this is fine, but we also have some grey areas that we can discuss further about. The fact that I'm also "challenging" myself with alternative questions and perspectives, I think it makes me better to do a better data-search for the next time.

Having said that, what I do respect the most on them is the fact that they try to seek their own personal opinion. But "popularised science" in ongoing matters is hard to find, thus the only easy-to-digest content is through groups and videos that carry-on with promoting misinformation; news that are not fact-check but only based on opinions (usually political driven).

So as you mentioned, the main problem is the lack of fact-checking popularised sources & channels. One example that does exist is "TL;DR; News" [1].

Honestly, I've written a fair amount of Lisp, and sometimes Lisp-like languages (e.g. GCC RTL), and never felt the need for either paredit or parinfer, and virtually never use structural navigation either.

Somehow the assisted indentation in Emacs is enough that I've never been confused about parentheses or felt the need to have them typed for me. I find them visually clear, so long as the indentation is not misleading.

I do find the close-paren matching which lets me know when a mismatching parenthesis is typed quite useful though. I use that in all programming languages, sometimes to tell me where a long block begins.

So I wouldn't agree that paredit or parinfer are essential.

For me, the fastest available cursor key repeat rate is more essential. I code like it's a video game: Hold down cursor key, let go when it lands in the right place. Write what I need, newlines and all, use <tab> or C-M-q a few times to trigger automatic indentation as needed. But this applies to all languages, not just Lisp.
they should not be forced to invest their money in a massively over-leveraged peak stock market that could crash any second. I think it’s fair to be able to cash in your chips at any point and not have to pay a fee for that every single year.
I spent over $2500 on a ThinkPad X1 Extreme three years ago. Died within three months (wouldn't turn on). Lenovo replaced all the innards, but then the 3D video didn't work at all. Had it replaced again. Two full replacements in the first six months. Later, I spilled a drink on the keyboard, and despite their claims of spill-resistant keyboards, it permanently fried eight random keys. By then it was past the warranty period (one year) and Lenovo was unwilling to service it at all. I was ready to pay, but it's not even an option. They told me I had to go through a third party. Couldn't even get any supposed "authorized repair center" to respond to my requests for estimates. A few months later, the video started going, and now it locks up a few minutes after booting.

I get that shit happens and sometimes products have defects. I'm willing to put up with a reasonable amount of annoyance. I'll never buy another Lenovo product, though, because once you're out of warranty, you may as well throw the thing away. They don't care at all.
