This looks quite geared towards generating the specific kind of interactive HTML book they show off. I guess that's because it's Sphinx under the hood. Looks useful for a specific kind of task!

Jupyter has a built-in templating system based on Pandoc (nbconvert) which is actually quite powerful. I have used it to generate print-ready documents via LaTeX templates.

For longer documents, one can use Pandoc JSON as an intermediary format, which can be assembled together before being output as LaTeX/PDF. For this one has to add a build tool like Make and not just the nbconvert command.

My biggest issue is that the nbconvert stuff is generally very hard to discover. It has very limited documentation which is further harmed by the considerable churn in the templating system, how they are discovered and how to plug them in to Jupyter lab. I suspect most people try "Export->PDF", see an ugly result with no obvious way to change it and give up. It's unfortunate because it's really a very powerful system under the hood.

Generating a paper or a technical note -- complete with beautiful typeset maths and figures -- from a computational document is really nice. Being able to take some data, generate a plot, calculate some values and put those values into prose such that the prose and the plot and the data are never out of sync is great! To me it's the next step up from having a referencing system so your references and bibliography are never out of sync.
I this is a bit pedantic interpretation. Those of us arguing against inequality don’t literally mean that everybody should make the exact same amount of money and live in the same type of house.

What we are arguing against is high levels of inequality, I think most understand that some inequality must exist. But that level is much lower than what you tend to see today.

I think in Nordic countries (where I am from) have shown that relatively low levels of inequality is possible while still achieving economic success. Although we have seen rising levels of inequality in Nordic countries as well as neoliberalism has taken over in Nordics as well.

One has to distinguish between aspirations and hard goals. Equality is a lot about where you want to go as a society. Many free market advocates don’t even view it as a desirable goal. They even view it as harmful.

Unless you are entirely devoid of pragmatism, it is not a harmful goal.

> If bargaining asymmetries are the key, why not low skill workers get paid $1million and the management get paid $1k instead, since workers are out numbers and they can easily win the bargaining fight?

What a bizarre comment. That is literally the exact opposite of how it works - absent collective action, a larger pool of workers weakens the bargaining position, it doesn't strengthen it.

The count of cells, sure, but the DNA is as constant as anything in organic chemistry.

It sounds like the brown-orange link is intuitively obvious to you. But I think the claim being made is that for most native English-speakers, the link between orange and brown is significantly less obvious than that between X and dark X, for most colours X. FWIW that is true in my case.

(Not that I deny the link exists; but when I look at e.g. an orange next to a dark brown tree branch, I don't see them as versions of the same colour in the way I do with, say, a lime and a dark green leaf. That's not a great example but hopefully you see what I'm getting at.)

The Australian federal government has introduced wide ranging warrantless powers that allow for a lot of potential abuse of computers and communications. These have had bi-partisan support and been rushed through parliament with very little debate or discussion from the complicit mainstream media. This stuff is likely pushed by our large allies and it isn't going away and likely allows Australia to be used as a backdoor to spy on our allies citizens as well. This is potentially really serious long term problem and gets almost no debate in Australia.

Meanwhile these localised state based measures aimed at fighting this pandemic are another thing entirely. Our state governments are not part of five eyes and aren't under pressure to maintain any of these measures indefinitely. They want to keep local businesses active by avoiding lockdowns and keep their tightly budgeted public health systems working.

Our less populated states here managed to get through the pandemic basically virus free without much in the way of restrictions within their states. I don't think people understand how good we have had this.

Our vaccines supply was delayed but now that has improved all the states are opening up once vaccine targets are reached and the state want to ease into the change. We still have very low vaccination rates compared to many countries where vaccinations were expedited as the only real viable solution. To reopen state borders and allow more potentially infected people in we need to be able to quarantine infectious people without locking them up and an app is a cheap solution. Once covid is endemic and as vaccination rates climb there won't be any point to quarantining people and the app will be discarded. It isn't for surveilling the entire population but for individuals for the relatively short time they might be shedding virus.

People are right to be vigilant but you all have the wrong target here. The right target is the Australian federal government's mass surveillance laws. An app that will be used for a week or two by a sick person then discarded isn't the real problem.

Wealth inequality increased significantly in the US in the late 20th century. Cheap labor is definitely a candidate explanation. But I don't mean immigration, although undocumented cheap labor is part of it, I mean globalization of trade and the rise of China. Now, everyday Joe has to compete with two billion foreigners who will work harder than he will and for less. So of course car plants are going to shut down and the monetary value of his/her unskilled labor are going to plummet. That's just supply and demand and unsurprising. On net, I think it's a humanitarian miracle that these counties are rising up. But it's undoutedly a big part of the inequality picture in the US.

Free markets have zero incentive to correct for negative externalities by themselves. Free markets also want to become non-free through monopolization. These are the two classic cases of market failure, and the reason no actual economist (or, really, anyone who has read and understood an Econ 101 textbook) believes in unregulated free markets.
cant help but feel that this is the situation in a lot of the world, because everyone (perhaps rightly) sees it getting harder & harder to get by, to have a decent domicile, a decent source of income, a quality of life as we grow old.

that we keep telling this story in terms of the behaviors of people here or there, doing this or that: it masks just how broadscale, how world wide our concern for the future is, hides that we all estimate that things are getting difficult.
This is going to be true of more professional military specialists as well. A Special Forces team will have an officer leading 4 sergeants - med, comms, weapons, and construction(/destruction). This is more of an exception rather than the rule though.

> It is a religion, with many denominations.

The whole of it defies neat categorization. People who self-describe as Christians can't even universally agree which texts are authentic and holy and which are heretical frauds. The only thing they all universally share is the inclination to call themselves Christians (more than a few are eager to contest whether other self-described Christians are in fact Christians.)

One particular example: I was raised to believe that the Book of Mormon is a heretical fraud, and consequently to believe that Mormons are not real Christians (despite claiming to be.)

Where did I say they shouldn't have done this? I do understands that fact.

The issue isn't on what they did, it's on how they said they were protected against this but actually wasn't. We are talking about their marketing materials promising anonymity that they can't legally provide.

If that was a mere misunderstanding from their parts and they thought they could actually get away from providing the IP but couldn't actually, sure it was a simply mistake from their part to say that, I would agree with you, but you provided the proof that they knew, and you even said it was "abundantly clear" that it was the case.

I'll say the same as you, if you don't understands that part, we have nothing else to discuss. Even more so if you believe that it's fine to promise stuff that you can't legally provide.

There is no criteria. Anyone who calls themselves Christian is a Christian. The same goes for any other religion. All religions have differing internal beliefs, so there is no objective definition of a “true believer.”

If by "this domain" you mean "strong type-checking", I guess it is because the CL's feature of on the fly introspection/debugging/modification is not as emphasized in some static type-checking languages, the lack of compile-time strong type-checking feature in CL, the ease to modify CL's compiler behavior via macros/reader-macros/compiler-macros (which facilitates implementing compile-time features like strong type-checking at compile-time); and perhaps also due to CL having been used in language research and in production for some decades.

>TU-114 uses four engines (Kuznetsov NK-12) that are the most powerful turboprop engines ever in production (11000 kW at 2900 kg).

Interesting detail about the NK-12 (according to Wikipedia):

The design that eventually became the NK-12 turboprop was developed after World War II by a team of Soviet scientists and deported German engineers under Ferdinand Brandner, who had worked for Junkers previously; ... Thus, the NK-12 design evolved from late-war German turboprop studies.

To be fair, the UK government is not ignoring the scientific consensus that children are more likely to be harmed than benefit from the vaccine, as it knows full well the consequences of its policy. Instead, the government is ignoring the ethics of coercing the young (who can't vote for them) into undergoing a medical procedure which mostly protects the old (who do vote for them).

I do wonder though if the author had read Smith's first book. I always felt that The Wealth of Nations held true only if you accepted The Theory of Moral Sentiments as true.

However if you believe that people's own selfishness is stronger than their empathy to their fellow humans, then The Wealth of Nations arguments are on very shaky ground.

Still as you say, most people just cherry pick one sentence fragement from the 1000+ pages of the book to justify "free markets".
He did NOT call for a high inheritance tax!

http://adamsmithslostlegacy.blogspot.com/2007/10/disengenuou...

>>believed that the the rich should spend their wealth for the good of everyone

He believed the rich did this without any intention, while pursuing their own interests:

[The rich] consume little more than the poor, and in spite of their natural selfishness and rapacity…they divide with the poor the produce of all their improvements. They are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society, and afford means to the multiplication of the species.

He even wrote:

I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good

And this is despite his belief that altruism was a moral good:

To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.

His reasoning was that self-interested market activity benefited society because the free market kept actors responsible:

The real and effectual discipline which is exercised over a workman is that of his customers. It is the fear of losing their employment which restrains his frauds and corrects his negligence.
Rubocop is so bad about this. I can't believe people still use it. I spent 2 hours refactoring perfectly legal code to satisfy a code review and then found the suppress warnings invocation and ended up shipping that.

I understand why people are upset about this, but TBH, everyone knew it was coming and everyone knew it was illegal, at least where Discord is based (and presumably where the servers are), when you're violating both the ToS of multiple services simultaneously and not being appropriately licenced to do public broadcasting nor paying royalties for such.

It's pretty shitty, but that's a reflection on the state of copyright in the states - this isn't Discord's fault, and this isn't Google or YouTube's fault, and there is not really anything they can do to make it acceptable short of people changing copyright laws. (NB: I am not a fan of the way things are, just merely making an objective statement here)

We should be ashamed at the number of people that die everyday in car "accidents". Specially pedestrians and cyclists.

> Nobody has ever succeeded in having a rich economy without inequality, though many countries have tried it.

Nobody has built a CPU that draws zero power, nor does anyone believe we can, yet we still we dump billions of dollars every year into R&D to reduce their power consumption.

My point is, even though the ideal of "no inequality" is unattainable, it doesn't mean we should give up on trying to reduce it in sensible, measured ways. Things like universal health care, affordable housing and liveable minimum wages don't just improve life for the poor - they make society safer for the wealthy too (through property crime reduction, less access to drugs for children, not stepping in human feces etc. etc.).
Let's face it: The company did the right thing for its clients getting rid of a dumb-ass, even if it cost them $65K.

It is truly remarkable the effort people make to express outraged offense. It requires so much! It would not be enough to ignore the point, which is about hope in the face of political hopelessness, you then had to then ignore the gist of the quote, which is that beauty is obscured by time, never lost, and then the coup de' grace, manufacture an attack! All of this to rise up to defend women from that attack, speaking down to the cruel jackal(s) that would reduce divine womanhood to nothing more than a piece-of-ass in this abhorrent way!

You, sir, are a true inspiration to anyone who ever searched for offense. You've shown clearly that all it takes is grit and determination, and you can find it, right there for the taking, that juicy plumb of outrage. Bravo, and well done!

> I was talking online about how much I delegate to my team and I got responses along the lines of "the tech lead or manager should do all of that, why should I be doing their job."

Well, that's because there's a difference between autonomy (e.g. "I'm going to let you approach the task in your own way without micromanaging your efforts.") and responsibility (e.g. "Your job is to do X and Y and Z"). What most people want from their leaders is some degree of autonomy, not necessarily extra responsibilities (unless there's a promotion attached...)
