I would rather make that check request-able but not default.

E.G. any case (including default) in a switch statement, or anywhere else, could have a keyword such as FORBIDDEN and at compile-time a check would result in: A warning if it is unprovable this is unreachable with a fatal exception if it is reached during runtime; an error if it is reachable (in the default case for your input handling this would inform you of the need to update the code); nothing (it is proven OK).
Yes, virtual environments are baked into the language. python3 -m venv venv will make an environment named venv. source venv/bin/activate activates it. pip install package in an activated environment installs the package only into the active environment.

There is a sociological argument that this is a core element of what it means to be “civilized”. We displace the responsibility for dirty work on others so that we - the civilized - can maintain the appearance of being clean. For instance, we eat lamb chops, but we don’t carve a lamb at the table.

I think perhaps it should say "all-ready" rather than "already", in the sense that the "change proposal" is "all ready". Although it's still quite a clumsy sentence even then.

the whole concept of "oppression" in modern context holds absolutely no merit, it's a divisive racist view of American culture and it's been used for political gain again and again.

Are generics not essential in a modern industry language? How else can you avoid rewriting data structures? Void pointers and polymorphic parameters expect the programmer know the underlying type.
I can hate on FB/Insta as much as I want because that's not the underlying problem. The underlying problem is the network effects that cause people to post content to one distribution channel, so that in order to see everything my friends are up to and have segue's into conversations about various interests or events, I have to go through FB/Insta's client.

We need an open protocol for content distribution so that if my friends want to use FB/Insta clients to post their photos/videos from their phone, I can subscribe and respond to that content or DM people from whichever client I choose, like not needing to wade through a sea of manipulative ads (propaganda). We should've had an optional extension to something like email, which includes a lookup like people find various acquaintances on FB/Insta. We already use our emails to sign up for these services...
I learned in economics 101 that although banks are individually responsible for making the money, the overall supply is ultimately controlled by the interest rate and reserve requirements. Both are set by the government. The free market determines who the money is supplied to, but it doesn't determine the money supply.
It's true, DLL Hell is mostly a thing of a past. The fact the Windows apps "fix" it by maintaining their own dependencies completely isolated from system-level libraries isn't exactly what I'd call a great solution. On the flip side, an application running in isolation from the system in a container including all the necessary dependencies is pretty much Docker, so maybe it's not terrible?
Which turned out to be more trouble than it’s worth. Many applications are now on the web and web devs breaks api compatibility all the damn time. Nobody seems to care about it that much
The first sentence and the second sentence of your comment contradict each other.

Choosing to end one’s own life doesn’t require government policy. Human life is plenty fragile. Anyone that actually wants to die has plenty of reliable options and they will be beyond the reach of secular law afterwards.

From that it follows that euthanasia laws are actually about allowing next of kin or whoever has medical power of attorney to lawfully order the principal’s killing. In the best case this is executing the principal’s express wishes, but in most cases it’s not.

Edit: I’m curious, does anyone actually believe they need the government’s permission to commit suicide? It’s so preposterous a proposition that I’m literally baffled.

Sadly ran into an issue with this today. A program I wanted to use I guess forgot to ship the dependencies in the provided binaries of most recent version. I could maybe track them down, but many of not all of them would have to be built from source, which I’d rather not bother with.
>You think it's hard taking care of your aging parents? They took care of you when you were a helpless, shitting, crying, little ball of flesh.

try lifting a baby vs an adult. also, seniors in retirement communities tend to have some sort of chronic condition that make them non-trivial to care for without medical expertise.
Sounds much like the Buddhist doctrine of dependent arising to me:

> It states that all dharmas (phenomena) arise in dependence upon other dharmas: "if this exists, that exists; if this ceases to exist, that also ceases to exist". The basic principle is that all things (dharmas, phenomena, principles) arise in dependence upon other things.

Emergency services in the US have gone from 80:20 fire:medical to 80:20 medical:fire over the last 70 years or so. We retain the framework of firefighting, but devote those
valuable and important resources to using custom built fire trucks much of the time as taxis staffed by paramedics.

You are attempting to frame state controls on speech as some form of "liberation". This is quite literally 1984 "Freedom is Slavery" kind of thinking.
You're sweeping a lot of people in your use of the term "aging parents," ranging from physically strong yet mentally deranged dementia patients, to little old ladies who simply don't have anyone to talk to. What is obviously true for the second is obviously false for the first.

>It’s quite disgusting as she is a mother with a disabled child.

how is that disgusting? that seems entirely consistent with her beliefs, as disabled child means high costs which potentially could mean getting denied care on the basis of cost. it's not any different than say, "congresswoman with cancer pushes for cancer treatment funding bill".
Lol, dude, you would have loved flying in Germany in the 80ies. Nosuch nonsense having to care about broken windows.

Officially, maybe. In practice it was very, very different, and loud.
These guys have to work 40 hours per pay period, which is two 24 hours shifts every two weeks. This is just slightly more than 4 days a month. They will sometimes work four days in a row, the last two days of a period and then the first two of the next and can go 20+days between shifts.

160 hours isn’t much when you are getting paid to sleep, eat and hangout. It’s just 6 days.
Not only that, but the United States' shift in mindset toward disinvestment came about during the civil rights era. Not hard to read between the lines in e.g. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED050960.pdf :/

"The time has come to ask what level of population growth is good for the United States. There was a period when rapid growth made better sense as we sought to settle a continent and build a modern industrial Nation."

"[A] fundamental question about the Nation's future: Do we wish to continue to invest even more of our resources and those of much of the rest of the world in meeting demands for more services, more classrooms, more hospitals, and more housing as population continues to grow?"

"We have all heard about a population problem in the developing nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America, where death rates have dropped rapidly and populations have exploded. Only recently have we recognized that the United States may have population problems of its own. There are differing views. Some say that it is a problem of crisis proportions that the growth of population is responsible for pollution of our air and water, depletion of our natural resources, and a broad array of social ills."

My favorite part is "Some say"[who?]

Economics like psychology aren't true sciences yet because they don't have a repeatable theoretical model. They're like Alchemy before it evolved in to Chemistry or Astrology before it evolved in to Astronomy. How can you get a repeatable theoretical model? imo you would need to model a world simulation near or at the level of atoms. The more abstraction and the more assumptions the simulation has, the less useful for the social "sciences". imo this is what Hari Seldon's "equation" is in the Foundation series; a simulation

I've been considering buying a Linux phone. Does anyone here own one?
It's painfully archaic compared to languages that have all this sorted out.

Pip is a recipe for disaster, indicated by the huge amount of churn in the Python packaging sphere. It's constantly the worst part of my day whenever I pick a Python project up. Conflicting dependencies, non-deterministic installs, etc.

I used to cope with this crap fest until I tried Elixir and experienced the beauty of modern package management and build tools. One tool, Mix, that handles task running and dependency management with a proper resolver.

I honestly think even Node has a better package management and tooling story.

Also: virtual environments are a hack and a pain. Python is moving forward in this aspect with the recent PEP for the pypackages folder, but we're still a long way from adoption.

All of this stuff is painful for beginners. Virtual environments might seem easy to us, but I've had ridiculous amounts of trouble explaining why they're necessary to beginner developers. Then you have to explain `poetry` or `pip freeze`.

Even I have trouble coming back to older projects of mine and I'm an experienced Pythonista: I usually waste an hour or two trying to sort the pip dependencies out with whatever conflicts the resolver comes up with this time.

Python package management is not okay, we're all just used to coping with it. Other languages put it to shame.

Could you expand on "His "Law and Order" tweets during all the rioting were absolutely pathetic."?
The "who defines" question isn't really much of a gotcha for laws. Either the legislature specifies when the pass the law, or courts get to decide when a case comes before them. Sometimes a jury is also involved.
It adds a level of stability. Some institutional investors don't want shareholders to have power over a company because that opens the doors to things like hostile takeovers. Having all the voting power vested in the core "founders" means the company won't ever be subject to change from outside. So, if you like things as they are, you can rest assured that things likely will never change. Only a long term investor, someone willing to retain shares during a corporate crisis, really cares about actually voting out one board for another. A short term investor wants to ride on the coattails but will jump rather than attempt to change where those coattails are headed.

Most companies who work at population scales end up being toxic cuz there is a power and information asymmetry, that your average corporate robot with factory defaults, will find hard to resist exploiting.

Its what they are programmed to do.

When the work environment is exploitative in nature triggering people within the org happens all ths time.

The difference today is people who get triggered woke or non woke, can take advantage of networks effects like never before to do serious damage. Companies cant do shit about it.

However i appreciate his zeal in creating an impact in a sector that would had otherwise not happened so fast. Not saying that he is solely responsible and deserves all the credit, however he understood how the system works and focused on doing some change.

Even people higher up in the food chain do not necessarily have all the power to effect change within a short span.

This reminds me of this chart showing underestimation of solar growth by the International Energy Agency for decades:

https://twitter.com/aukehoekstra/status/931869221386104832

One of the best charts I've ever seen at making a point.

Since I'm sharing solar charts here is one of solar panel efficiencies which is another of my all-time favorite charts:
https://www.nrel.gov/pv/cell-efficiency.html

To avoid misleading, I want to clarify that the reduction in cost of solar energy has been driven far more by manufacturing scale than by efficiency improvements (although they are also relevant).
From my understanding, a well-known developer stole Colorette code (a node module for CLI colors) and rebranded it as Nanocolors with very minor changes.

Then, the nanocolors creator started going around repos that use Colorette, telling them to switch to Nanocolors.

That's all i know. If anyone wants to make corrections or additions to that please do.
I think the two of you are largely in agreement, but GP rightly points out that the SR-71 was less complex than it could have been and that this is in party why it was so successful. The ability to leave stuff out in engineering exercises can lead to substantial benefits and that's worth noticing.

Right, there are no ethical downsides to putting the elderly in hellish group homes as long as we give them death when they ask for it.
As Upton Sinclair said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." When over a trillion dollars of value is on the line, history tells us that people will generally act poorly and come up with any plausible justification for why they're doing good.

This isn't to excuse Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, or anybody else in a decision-making position. The first time your business model is widely seen to have played a determining role in a genocide [1], the ethical decision is unambiguous--it's a good time to step down and take your billions to lobby against that business model. There's no moral excuse for doing otherwise.

Dude, seriously just shut up.

I am physically and medically disabled and I am of childbearing age.

I require an orphan drug (a blood product from paid blood donors which contains the pooled antibodies from tens of thousands of people, as required by FDA regulation) which quite literally costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, under contract by insurance, just so I can stay alive, as I have an immune mediated rare disease. Last time I checked my insurance statements (before I left the US for good in early 2020), my insurance (Medicare, by the way) was paying $275,000+/year under contract for the medication.

Clearly the US can afford it. We just choose to treat our elderly like garbage.

I hope you recognize how hypocritical you actually are.

I googled it and found some articles about it, link to one of them:

Now for more context why I did this: Back then when Bush started pushing for the war, I immediately considered him a liar, I am not from US, and from my perspective and from many people where I live, it was blatantly obvious he was lying, for example some of the "evidence" he used was obviously bullshit, like his description of satellite photos on UN, or saying that WMD was found in certain places right after UN inspectors visited those places and said they found nothing there.

Sometimes I wonder how people from USA don't see how evil they country is, for example when Brazil said they would vote against the war in the security council, John Bolton just went and threatened his family (his exact words were: "I know where your kids live."), while the rest of the world was horrified by the lies spouted by US media, the US public was cheerily supporting the warmongers, in some cases even more than needed, for example some public polls done at the time found out a majority of the population were in favor of the wars, in Afghanistan case some people even agreed with the assertion that USA should "glass" afghanistan.
