That's the difference.

I don't make API request in local development mode.

If I do, the response is instant.

It might work, but if the cost is increasing build time from 1 second to 30 seconds, it's not worth it.
Ultimately there are no inherited rights, only guns. So I am not sure what argument you are making? I thought you could come up with some fundamental principle, like "human society would be better if we all adhered to this rule, because bla bla and so forth".

As I stated elsewhere, I think communities or governments sell land under certain premises. For example (possibly) that people buying become part of the community and get a vote in further developments. That would be a reason why they would have "the right" to interfere.
By "invent" I presume inventio which is to say "finding or discovering of something"[0]. The concept of risk is virtual in the comprehension of all human beings and it takes abstraction[1] and analysis to extricate the concept from the understanding. In which case, you should absolutely expect many people to discover the concept independently, as it were. (See logos or logos spermatikos.)

FWIW, you can replace __dirname with information from import.meta (and 2 lines of JS). It’s not quite as automagic but can yield the exact same info. You’re also right that it might just be a code-smell in general though.

1. Talking to a person who went through the same thing.

2. Buddies that invited themselves and planned some other social activities to get my head away from it.

So I would suggest to give him a call, or a video call and play a remote board game with some buddies or something like that. (or Among Us, which is also fun over a video call)
This is why I tend to avoid refactoring code as often I find just having a common pattern in code that's been adopted either officially or unofficially by the dev team being more important than trying to 'clean it up.' Sure, I say delete commented out code since we have git and other VCS today that makes this habit unnecessary but if a piece of code doesn't use LINQ style queries to parse lists and uses for loops instead, I just leave it be.
Agree. Having this function exit if any arguments are passed to it seems like a good safety measure.

Twenty years ago it would have been the Scary Devil Monastery. But that was another lifetime, and besides, the protocol is dead.
Please don't take it the wrong way, I have a lot of respect for distros packagers and maintainers. I donate to debian, and I report bugs. I think you are basically heroes of the FOSS world, because without your invisible (and frankly thankless) work, mine wouldn't exist.

But come on, there are 300k entries on pypi, 200k more for perl and 160k for ruby. I'm not even counting the whooping 1.3M on npm because I assume this is considered taboo at this point.

You cannot package 0.0001% of that, not to mentions updates.

And unless distros make it as easy to package and distribute deb/rpm/etc than it is to use the native package manager, this means distro packaging will never be attractive to most users because:

- they don't have access to most packages

- the provided packages are obsolete

- packages authors have no way to easily provide an update to the users

- it's very hard to isolate projects with various versions of the same libs, or incompatible libs

And that's not even mentioning that:

- package authors may not have the right to use apt/dnf on their machine.

- libs may be just a bunch of files in a git repo, which pip/gem/npm support installing from

- this is not compatible with anaconda, which has a huge corporate presence

- this is not compatible with heroku/databrics/pythonanywhere, etc

- this is hard to make it work with jupyter kernels

Now let's say all those issues are solved. A miracle happens. Sorry, 47 miracles happen.

That would force the users to create a special case for each distros, then for mac, then for windows. I have a limited amount of time and energy, I'm not going to learn and code for 10 different packaging systems.

It's not that we want to screw over linux distros. It's that it's not practical, nor economically viable to use the provided infra. The world is not suddenly going to slow down, vulnerabilities will not stop creeping up, managers will not stop to ask you to use $last_weird_things. This ship has sailed. We won't stay stuff only published 5 years ago with delays of months for every updates.

Like the parent poster said, people are on a bell curve. It sounds like you may only have been exposed to mediocre, passable, or plain bad PM's so far in your career.

So I'll remind you: the reason we pay PM's is because good PM's can, and do, exist. I've only worked with a few great PM's, but they outshone their competition with just as much brilliance as the 10x among us engineers outshine the 1x. It's ironic that you would reduce PM's to a single heterogeneous caricature in reply to an article that is essentially saying that it's harmful to do so.

From the banner picture on that page you can see part of the mixing kit: it looks like they basically mash local soil and a bit of water (with the option of adding hay, according to https://www.3dwasp.com/en/maker-economy-starter-kit/) to make a bulk mixture which is just pumped through a hose on a fairly conventional cantilevered arm.

The benefit is intended to be that you don't transport the construction materials at all - Km0, they call it - but you'd have to do some digging to find out how the physical properties compare to other techniques.
Last year while working on some public opinion polling software I ran into an issue where I found that analysts often wanted to know the difference between someone selecting "None", someone skipping the question, or someone not being asked the question due to branch logic. It's a pretty easy problem to solve -- if you represent the response as a string, you use "None", "", and "Not Asked"; if you represent as numeric, you just set numeric codes for each. But the interesting thing is just that it's sort of an invisible distinction until you think about it, just like this one is. I don't really do a lot of UX stuff myself and it was kind of a cool moment to have to think about it a little.
I am also very curious about what exactly is the discrepency here? Which specific part of the original statement is incorrect?

> Woman filing for divorce more could be evidence for scenario 1, which is my interpretation of your post.

This is not what I intended. I was just trying to counter the suggestion by me_im_counting that men are likely to do better following divorce because of reasons like (according to him) men find it easier to remarry, women are more likely to keep the kids, and men divorce in response to cancer. All of those, as explanations, are in tension with the fact that men are less likely to be initiating divorce.

I think I that’s the issue. Not all doctors are the same. I’ve been to many that just gave me a surface level amount of thought and sent me on my way. I’ve been to others that took time to really dig in and try to solve the problems. People resort to self research because (for whatever reason, some valid) too many doctors are the former.

Operating in a system where regression to the mean is so prevalent rewards doing the bare minimum with the added benefit of generally reducing your liability.
Sorry that you are going through this, life is full of hardship, and divorce is a facet of death itself.

“ Marriage as a notion itself feels wrong.”

The notion of marriage has fractured into cultural subgroups as it has been redefined over the last century.

One of the more interesting stats to me is that young people today don’t even put children in the top ten reasons for marriage like they did just 40 years ago.

I’m wondering which of the notions of marriage you feel seem wrong.

> It was existentially disorienting.

I had a family with 3 kids, so it left quite an impact on me.

For years I felt like the real me was still non-divorced, living his life like normal. And I ended up in this surreal parallel universe, where I'm divorced and living in some kind of bad dream.

Good thing that feeling is over, and I was able to pick up my life again. Your mind can play some crazy tricks to cope with certain situations.
Sure, but there is a difference between "being influenced by puritan culture along with many other historical forces" and "extremely puritan nation".

I'm also not so sure about the accuracy of your Catholic stereotypes. The greatest German industry and wealth is in the Catholic south ("upper Germany"), for example, and not in the Protestant North or Northeast. Similarly there are huge differences between Northern and Southern Italy yet both are Catholic, so I don't think it's religion that is the difference maker when comparing, say, Germany and Italy's productivity and work habits.

Having read many of the books and short stories as a boy, I would rank them as 'entertainingly trashy'.

The Americans are a collection of unintentionally hilarious stereotypes - the rugged hero who saves the beautiful & brilliant damsel in distress and gets everybody swooning over him, the virgin nerd who suddenly gets appreciated by a strong girl, the badass teenager girl who shows all those prejudiced old fools how much ass a badass teenager girl can kick, oh yeah!

The 'native' characters are a bit better, because the author is constrained by historical records to make them slightly less cartoonish. Gustav Adolf (& related family) is the designated Good King but he's still an absolute king and occasionally a jerk as a result; Axel Oxenstierna and Richelieu get caricatured as villainous viziers but their reasons for opposing the New American Order do get at least a perfunctory acknowledgment. Non-historical 'native' characters are as two-dimensional as the Americans, though.

The reason I do not regret reading the series is that it scratches certain nerdy itches very very well. It's full of wikipedia-type fun facts that gets turned into plot points, like clothing dyes being a big deal, or customary laws of Early Modern Germany being an absolute clusterfuck, and of course all kinds of changing social mores from privacy in the presence of house servants to serving wine to children. It has funny nerd moments like Lennard Torstensson gawking over a micrometer, or when Richelieu is revealed to be the first leader smart enough to acquire a spoiler (a history book from the 'future') and take action over it, in that case refocusing away from costly European wars in order to consolidate control of the New World and set up France to become the dominant world empire in the timeline.

I think the short stories are probably the best part of the setting for an adult reader, because they have less focus on the sub-par characters and more focus on the fascinating peculiarities of the time and place. And while the History of kingdoms and religions got derailed pretty early in the series, making historical accuracy kind of a moot point, the little histories of craftsmen and traders get a chance to shine and be properly explored in the short stories.
Tesla was trying to swap rechargeable packs, right?

Another approach is to use non-rechargeable batteries. A few years ago a company demoed an EV using a non-rechargeable aluminum air battery with a range for something like 1000 miles.

Aluminum air batteries are not rechargeable but can be recycled. With this approach when you do a swap you'd be getting a new fully charged battery, and your old battery would be recycled to recover the aluminum.

Skypack looks interesting. However, as I come from a Nix background, I'd like to a) pin my dependencies and b) do a hash check at install/download time to ensure the pinned package hasn't been modified behind the scenes.

Based on https://docs.skypack.dev/skypack-cdn/api-reference/pinned-ur..., it appears that you can do a. with Skypack, but this requires a manual step: look up the package in the CDN with curl or your browser and copy-paste the URL into your JS import statement. Is there any tooling to automate this?

Also, there appears to be no way to fail the build if the contents of the pinned URL change. Are Skypack users relying on Skypack to ensure that can't happen?
Continuing in a separate comment:

Advise for you and others:

* Use social and legal provisions towards your own favor as much as possible whatever those are -- live-in relationships, friends with benefits, getting to know each other well upfront, pre-nuptial agreements, etc.

* Keep an escape route. E.g., keep finances strictly separate.

* Read 'good' books on how all this works, like on psychology of love relationships, parenting, divorce, etc.

* Need timely action as and when it is becoming bad and timely quitting. Don't go by the common guidance received which rests on inexperience and biases. Look at the statsistics and make good judgment calls. I have come across books on this too. Books sometimes give better advise than professional help (whether psychologists or lawyers) as the book author has no more ongoing vested interest once the book is sold.

In a nutshell, love yourself more than your life partner, and don't let your judgment be clouded. Read good books to build your judgment from the experiences of others.
You may not be able to completely, but basically if users can write python scripts and run them using system python that's a side effect. It's purpose is to run system scripts, and any other use must not interfere or compete with that in any way.

To be hones that wasn't always the case. In the early days Python was provided on these systems for users just as much as administrators and in the early days there weren't any system script as part of the OS that used it. However now there are, and the packaging and configuration of the system python has in some cases even been mangled somewhat to suit the needs of the distro. It's time to make a clean split between system python and user/developer python.

Overall this seems like a very positive change. However, I wonder how it will affect local development of servers that participate in API flows with public-facing systems.

As an example: imagine I am developing my application locally, at http://localhost:8080/ , and this application supports an OpenID Connect identity flow with an identity provider, https://idp.corp.example . Today I can test the login flow by telling the IDP that localhost:8080 is a valid URL to redirect back to, so that I can click a "login" button in my application, log into the real IDP, and get a token posted back to something like http://localhost:8080/idp-callback . This makes it easy to develop a system locally that also communicates with various backend microservices which require authentication with a common IDP.

I can't imagine that this is a rare scenario: it seems pretty normal to me. But if I understand the proposal, it sounds like the long-term goal is to prevent this kind of environment for local development, and instead force you to either run your dev stack remotely (with a public IP!) or else run your entire IDP stack locally (so that it has a local IP). Neither of those seem like good ideas to me.

Of course, the other option would be to modify local dev servers to accept CORS preflight requests and respond correctly, but I'm always slightly uncomfortable adding code into a local dev stack that would be unsafe if enabled in production. At very least it makes it harder to debug when something inevitably goes wrong with this API flow.

There are probably ways to solve this by introducing more proxies into a local dev stack, but I worry that these kinds of little papercuts will just make development that much harder for microservices-architecture applications, which are already hard enough to develop and debug as it is.
