I appreciate the comment, I'm sure that I will get a policy if I approach the courts but it will not do anything for others who cannot move to courts.

There have been plenty of precedence which lead to supreme court passing an order urging the Govt. to ensure disabled get health insurance. And govt. made changes to Insurance regulations which states that the insurer should cover pre-existing diseases after maximum of 4 years and blacklisted certain chronic diseases(Mine isn't blacklisted) from being covered; Note: Just the diseases are not covered, Policy is not denied.

So all these insurance companies are advertising 2-4 years to cover existing diseases as per the regulation. I went through lot of effort to apply to all leading insurers and have documented(link in prev. comment) how they ignore the insurance regulation to deny policy, Followed by how my complaints to the insurance regulators on each of these insurers did absolutely nothing.

Journalists from leading media org. approached me to hear the story after I published the blog but they didn't publish any story on how the insurance industry is treating the disabled as they're the leading advertisers especially during COVID. Few independent media did publish my story along with those of others facing similar situation.

I'm of opinion that getting these insurers reprimanded in their home countries for their unethical, immoral and illegal behavior might have great positive effect for the disabled around the world.
I'm sorry, do you think they are literally only hunting and gathering now? Have you traveled much in sub-saharan Africa? I'm just back from 6 weeks doing business in Cameroon. These people maybe gathering some food and engaged in low productivity agriculture but often they also are having cell phones, many go to cities to trade, they're using motorbikes and vehicles, etc., many more young people go to cities to work and send money back home. These are not like uncontacted Amazonian tribes doing traditional hunter gathering work, the article talks about them using the ForestLink solution!

And then you’ve got the MS store that just hijacks any calls to python completely even if you installed it separately

Debian apt installs with using python3 and specifying pip as a module call is the only thing keeping me sane
I agree with this for pure Python libraries. However, as soon as you get into things that bind to C libraries (Numpy, GDAL, etc.) it quickly becomes much easier to use the package from your distro.

What's the sin in supporting stuff that works?
they still publish new main version of perl every year, and still support code from perl4.
Yeah, I don't either, mostly just curious since that seems like it'd be the most demanding category. I've actually mostly been missing Battle Brothers which is... not latency sensitive. And it looks like ProtonDB gives it a platinum! Thanks for the pointer to that.

Sadly looks like a lot of the top 10 are in "Borked" status, though.
Why? That shows important information about the quality of the product.
I am going through it right now too.

Very short background:

* Wife abusive from the beginning

* Sexless marriage as she refused

* Beating herself up for years

* She's not earning (highly qualified)

* Did not take care of child or home either

* Tried to frame me however I figured and escaped

* Living separately now

* She filed false and frivolous violence complaint against me

* Not letting me meet my child

* Court granted overly high alimony/maintenance to her

* Lawsuits running delayed due to the pandemic

* She is failing to supply evidence for her case

* Is not even honoring prior court orders

* I have and am diligently filing everything

* Lot more has happened, above is just a summary

Yet, the system is failing to do due diligence and is so far against me nevertheless. I do have good lawyers helping.

I can connect with many comments here on the OP, some of which say that no action is taken against women even if it is proven that they were blatantly lying.

I am facing degradation of cognitive abilities due to prolonged stress, some of which seem permanent.

I am losing trust over the legal system. Marriage as a notion itself feels wrong.

I have little interest left in life other than wishing for justice and taking care of the teenage child. Thoughts of suicide come and go. I have been taking professional help.

Separately:

* I am very reputed in my circles for my honesty and talents and am seen as a role model.

* They share quotes from self-help books -- That it's all meant for good ultimately, trouble is intended by the divine to strengthen good people, it's a beautiful life after all.

* I do recognize that many people are worse off with not even food to eat.
Instead of assigning blame we should interpret the tension as a sign of an important need having no good solution. It's quite challenging to overlay packaging/versionning systems .. but theoretically it's an interesting and general question. Maybe people should model and solve the whole issue (if there's some solution at all; which I hope)
Would a properly counter-weighted space elevator not have much lower power requirements than an electromagnetic accelerator?
So here's a suggestion to shoot down.

The biggest insight in software dependency management is that applications and libraries are different. Both have dependencies but they sit at different places in their dependency graphs.

A library can be used together with other libraries and so cannot pin its own dependency versions (if all libraries did so there would conflicts everywhere) but instead can only specify constraints on its dependency versions (eg >=1.0.0).

An application sits at the front of the dependency graph. Nothing depends on it. It can therefore lord it over its dependencies, pinning everything in the graph to specific versions. This only works, though, if it doesn't have to share an environment with other applications and unrelated libraries.

Systems like poetry (akin to npm or cargo) allow a "lock file" to be generated with pinned versions for all dependencies, satisfying all the version constraints. Applications must commit this to revision control, libraries can if they want (should IMO). This is great as it allows CI and other devs to use consistent versions.

The missing piece is that for an application, the lock file should also be used for deployment of the app. If you can ensure that an application is installed in an isolated environment with the dependency versions from the lock file (i.e. that the app was tested against) then a lot of the pain disappears.

So, the suggestion:

* Add support to standard python distribution (wheels, pypi, etc) for application packages to specify (in addition to ordinary version constraints) a pinned set of "preferred" dependency versions.

* Have tools like poetry/pipenv set these to the lock file versions.

* Allow a notion of "application packages", which are required to have this information in.

This should work very nicely with tools like pipx that deal specifically with python applications. The relevance to linux distros is that linux distros also should only be packaging applications (and their dependencies). Developers using libraries should be managing them with tools like poetry/pipenv, not the system package manager.

If the system package manager could install python applications in their own isolated environments along with their pinned dependency versions, most of the pain goes away for distro maintainers. If an application isn't working with the dependency versions it has specifically asked for, it's a clearcut problem with the application as published, and needs to be fixed upstream.

I realise this would be a significant change for package managers, but I think the same model makes sense for other languages with similar tooling and at least some of the work should only need to be done once.

Go on then, tell me why I'm wrong :-D
Docker Desktop 4.2 Release: Save Your Battery with Pause / Resume
It would be a shame if thousands of people forked the listed repos and gists…
I’d use a Lenovo t400 or t60 laptop that is fully repairable and also pretty durable. Hook that up to a ham radio data network and you’re in business.
There are some interesting battery chemistries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-titanate_battery

Still not energy dense enough to replace Li-Ion but there are quite a few groups working on that problem.
I wonder what would charging a 100kwh battery in 5 minutes do to the grid, if this was deployed widely.
The drawback of this, IIRC, is that if you want any sort of third-party library using this approach, you'll trigger a million HTTP requests, one for each part of the transitive closure of dependencies. Maybe things have improved.
You don't need an app. `caffeinate` is a command line utility built into macOS.
Interestingly enough, the pay for these individuals differ too. And this matters as well. We should be taught to negotiate. This is the most underrated thing our industry and seniors don't tell juniors of the field.

I learned this the hard way. After 5 years when the company was winding down, I learnt 5 colleagues of varied gender and race who were my colleagues were paid shit ton more than me. I know this is a sensitive topic. But if you ask, they will pay more or you will know how much you are worth. I thought the system will acknowledge and reward accordingly after I got a surprising bonus. IT DOES NOT. You have to fight for it. I felt really betrayed. And this is when everyone told me how and when to negotiate.

From the moment you are hired, you bargain for a better pay. That itself, from that starting period itself, your pay differs compared to the other person who may have been hired with you. Then not everyone takes the same effort (they can't or don't want to for varied reasons). But some people do a 9 to 5, the other people does late nights, some people are dettached from company and it's vision, some are are very loyal. It depends on individuals and their circumstances.

Handling everyone the same way doesn't work. This discourages people who want to put in more effort. So they jump ship and move to another company for a better pay. No person want the same amount of pay, they all want more. And the answer is negotiate. And ditch and make some noise on companies which have stereotype pay. Trust me. It is not the right place for you to work.

Imagine this, giving $1 million dollar to ten people and see how much money they all have after a year. It will all be very different for each of them. It will not be the same amount. That is the same for salaries, you salary at this point are based on how much you worked and how much you bargained. It won't be the same for another person with same experience and same background. It just won't be.
This is one reason Go has become so popular. If Python weren't such as mess, people could look past its poor performance, but combine that with the installation and dependency issues and it's just too much.
But then it almost certainly wouldn't be free anymore.
I stand corrected, I thought HPCVC was 1000v at 3000 amps for 3 megawatts. However it looks to be 1500v at 2000amps to do 3MW.
> I manage my Python packages in the only way which I think is sane: installing them from my Linux distribution’s package manager.

Actually, this is not sane.

If you have any Python dependencies, you should always develop and deploy your code using virtualenv, never by installing packages into the system Python!

The best teams I've ever worked with, that were the most productive and also had the best team work and team spirit, was when we assigned tasks in planning. And gave the tasks to whoever was most suitable to work on it.

Unfortunately we were never allowed to do that, because of Scrum, and were only able to do it on the low down for a short time until management cracked down on it and enforced "anyone who happens to be free works on whatever is on top of the backlog".

US Government halts Intel’s plan to bolster chip production in China
True, but an electric train uses a very large amount of power, compared to charging up an EV in any configuration that's likely not going to be the major issue, besides that there is plenty of time in a charging situation to figure out the parameters of the vehicle, humidity, ideal voltage/amperage combination and so on.

Whereas for a train track/overhead wiring situation the voltage is simply always there, and there is no simple way to regulate the power delivered to what is actually required. In fact the opposite: the overhead system has to be able to deliver power to multiple locs on the same segment at once due to push/pull trains.

> PDFs are accessible: a person distrusting computer transmission or without a computer can print out the form and send it via postal service.

Yes, this is very useful when you do not have or want to use a computer. But if you fill in a PDF form on a computer, better go for the web app whihc will be easier to read and has a higher chance to actually work (the govt PDF will always have that one weird field that cannot be filled).

> Also, you can save a filled out PDF (or copy a paper) to have a copy of what you submitted in your records, something that is impossible to do with most webform solutions.

It would be enough for the web form to send you a confirmation, making it also an acknowledgement of your request. We already have this for taxes for instance.
While I agree with this statement, it's also kind of the distro's fault for making it so easy to mess with system Python. If I was ever to design a distro and needed a "system Python" I would make sure that it would be completely isolated from and invisible to users. It would only be upgraded as part of an overall major OS version upgrade.
I think, that agreement here is about foreign aid, where op was offering it as a solution.

Depopulation of overpopulated countries is the only viable solution if rich overpopulated countries are demanding to other countries to save their forests. That is also a chance to show solidarity in preservation of forests. Claims, that forests are long gone and nothing can be done are childish - they can be restored and regrown back to their natural original glory. One of the commenter here had a very "sensible" solution to cram population of those overpopulated countries into some small areas and free up rest of the land for forests...

And by the way - did you read that article or are you here only because of comments, that you had to do something about them? Oh, those comentators - you can't let them roam free...

That's because Launchpad is just an app, you can move it elsewhere or remove it from the Dock altogether if you (like me) don't plan on using it.

You can actually use Cmd+arrows to move between Launchpad pages. I'm not saying it's smart or convenient, but it's there.
There were also numerous security issues on the initial release. Some folks went to press with them because no action was being taken in private reports and they were accused of having political motives.
Yes unfortunately you cannot protect group A from the actions of group B hermetically without hurting group B, if group A and group B interact.

Someone will be hurt, or by the actions of a member of the second group or by the societal actions to protect the second group.

I just wish the compromise was clear and we abandoned the kind of puritanical thinking that we "ought to protect group X" no matter what. We need to talk, qualitatively and quantitatively, about all the sides of the coin.
+1 for Rands. Focus is less on day to day engineering and more on management, but it's fantastic for the latter.

Fortunately the IRS is not involved in judgements from non-tax courts.

The IRS does not care about what structure you use, they only care about compliance. It is very useful to reframe your understanding of the IRS. They are not really adversaries, they will even help you set up this stuff even though they are aware it undermines their own name of revenue. Remember, its only Congress that cares and even then they are pretending. The perception of the IRS comes from most people's interaction with the IRS: retroactive enforcement of a penalty at the least convenient time. Leading cash-poor people to want to hide from the IRS, leading to greater vulnerability.

By reporting taxes to the IRS or filing reports to the Treasury (their parent agency), yes, it may seem counterintuitive that you are associating yourself with additional properties to the literal government. But that doesn't inherently create consequences to other branches of the government, judges, or private creditors, it also doesn't mean they those other parties get to know about it.

Finally, one last thing to remember, obfuscating the existence or movement of money is not illegal. Its another reason why the IRS doesn't care about anyone's convoluted structure of companies and trusts around the world, because they are not illegal and neither are most transactions between them. A money laundering charge, for example, requires an illicit origin of funds. So it can only be a tacked on charge after the government has discovered the origin and the origin was illicit. As such, using your own legally earned money post-tax money and sheltering it in a convoluted way garners no issue from the IRS. And if it earns a little bit, you can still report and pay taxes on it. Also, the new thing in this century is that you also don't need a bank account to hold liquid assets under these organization's names, therefore nuking the Treasury/FinCEN report of foreign bank accounts when that was part of the strategy.
Air superiority and ground control is irrelevant when major cities of your country is being nuked. A pyrrhic victory is guaranteed which is the entire point of a nuclear arsenal.

Computer science is an extremely young field. The parts of the field that number theorists could dabble in quickly got fleshed out and got hard as they could apply the millennia of accumulated number theorist knowledge, the parts more related to how to work with computers (such as algorithms or program structure) is still young today.

Edit: Note that the frontier of the field will always be extremely hard no matter what time you live in. The reason is that things will be poorly understood and written, there will be no good textbooks or explanations, you have to trudge through all that often without anyone to help you understand things or correct you. It took centuries for calculus to become as easy as it is today.

But it works... it's universally supported on pretty much every os, even by default on most *nix based ones, and new versions and new CPAN modules are still written.
