This is a management problem. I’ve worked in commercial niche-market software for a long time and it was VERY rare when management accepted a release with “nothing new in it”. Features and applications were sellable, but bug fixes were not. Or worse, they were an admission we screwed up. Also, seeing all those developers “doing nothing” really bothers many managers.

Is this good for user-helpful software? No, of course not, but the company’s goal is revenue.
So, patch two dozen copies of slightly different versions of the same library included in all those programs, instead of patching just one?
No, some people are a lot more productive across broad range of tasks. Often they are assigned tougher/critical stuff though because it doesn't make sense them do trivial tweaks.
I watched my husband trying to do something important on AmericanExpress.com and he got totally stuck and extremely frustrated because he thought all the radio buttons were disabled and he couldn't answer the questions he was being asked.

Some shitty UI designer thought grey radio buttons "looked good" ignoring that grey controls have a functional meaning (disabled). Sure the grey was a slightly different shade than the "disabled grey", but my husband doesn't know what the exact shade of grey disabled is because he doesn't use a computer all day. He just knows when controls are grey he can't use them, and that's totally reasonable.

Companies make no sense, they tell you to use their website so you don't have to call their call center but then they don't prioritize usability and accessibility on their shitty SPA.
> What else would you have them do?

The video was public well before Grosskreutz admitted to drawing his weapon at Rittenhouse as he approached him, the Facebook post after the incident was known about. They should’ve informed their audience of these facts more so than they were informed of Grosskreutz’s fear of his life, however the latter was the most broadly disseminated piece of info by being a headline item. “Video shows Kenosha shooting victim drawing gun as he was shot” was not a headline, “Kenosha shooting victim testifies” was not the headline and would’ve been a less blatantly biased choice.

It’s very simple. A WP reader is more likely to find out from being their audience that Grosskreutz feared for his life than the other facts that I’ve mention that are much more interesting and critical to the case, and it’s by design

> and you quoted that link but started randomly talking about a Washington Post headline without even mentioning the publication's name

I did not quote the NYT link. The name of the WP is in the url that I posted. Sorry I didn’t make clear the context

> That's obviously false, since the claim is incoherent when applied to your example. If it were true, why would they have bothered to correct the headline?

It would’ve been worse had they been completely silent of that part of the testimony, I agree. It would’ve been harder for me to verify though, that a publication mentioned it not even once, so I choose this example to save time. But no, your response completely missed my main point, they don’t have to not update it, dissemination of a certain piece of information in terms of its reach can be diminished without it reaching zero. Statements can be used push a false narrative without being outright untrue. There are more tactful ways to mislead than simply lying, obviously. Edit: To answer your question, to enable the defense that you’ve just made
The problem is with both.

Interesting; how would you isolate the system python from the user in Debian/Ubuntu. Do you have a link where I could learn more about this?
I'll add a twist to it. It failed in the worst possible way evidenced by the difficulty in explaining why it failed. It spread the failure out so evenly that there was no single thing that was broken or wrong but just about everything had some fundamental failure. I'm not talking about an edge case or a bug or underspecification but a fundamental conceptual failure. They weren't glaring so that if you explained the idea to someone you'd go, "oh wow, that sounds really interesting" but it wasn't until you went to use it that these problems would start to show. Because it wasn't any single problem it was very easy for the community to ignore them or to attack people who pointed them out and almost impossible to fix since you'd have to make changes everywhere.

This would have been obvious to anyone trying to build even a trivial application. Just try to build a todo list, recipe application, calendar, etc. It will be like walking in quicksand. It will start out great and then every step will be slower than the last until you're expending huge amounts of effort to just make the next step and in the end you'll see what you've got and realize that you expended a ton of energy to make someone else's life easier and even that won't necessarily be clear. Performance will probably be dismal and there's little hope that it will scale at all.
And people will still be shipping code faster and more efficiently than they would do in Perl. Because in the end, the advantages of using Python, in terms of readability and productivity, easily offset a bit of packaging pain - whereas the disadvantages of using Perl don't offset whatever marginal gain you get by using old infrastructure.
I do, but it's not well supported by a lot of packages. I dig around manually for URLs on unpkg and other JS CDNs, but most libraries' instructions just say "run npm ... or yarn ...". Maybe that complexity's worth it, but understanding what's going on is a barrier for me to use it, just like Julia describes.
Not including /r/homelab.
GitHub's takedown notice template says otherwise: "Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down."
Nice site. I'm not sure the dropdown looks great on OS X though. On OS X, the selected option is prepended with √, so it looks like

√ Feature
√ Feature
√ No Feature

Selecting the second element then shows

Feature
√ √ Feature
√ No Feature

It ends up looking somewhat odd.

> FoxBASE/FoxPro, Clipper, Paradox etc were all similar in that respect.

> the efficiency with which you could crank out even fairly complicated line-of-business data-centric apps was amazing, and is not something I've seen in any tech stack since.

Did you ever get to try Delphi? Those "line-of-business data-centric apps" is what it was all about.

And I'm not quite sure, but I think and hope Free Pascal / Lazarus is close to that in ease and power.
They likely mean the GUI settings interface that competes with the GeForce Control Panel, not the driver itself.

I sometimes pass a W3100 through to a Windows VM so I only know the Radeon Pro interface, but I do feel like its designer's last project may have been building an AOL prog in Flash.
Seems to me that’s the simplest and most intuitive point of view. Can you imagine publishing a question and then owning the copyright to every answer to it someone writes!?
My primary frustration with frontend development is that I have gone to JS Build Tool University... Roughly 10 times now. I'm not sure I've ever set up two separate frontends the same way. Even when I avoid the shiny new tools and stick with crusty slow webpack, there's a new version that behaves entirely different than the previous version. I'm enjoying the speed and simplicity of ESBuild.
Maven and Gradle are build tools, similar to esbuild.

I was talking about import in JavaScript itself, not build tools or package managers.

Within the actual language, there isn't a universal syntax just to use a package. In Java, there is.
What would be the alternative in todays projects? Like typescript and scss need compiled, then there are builds which are minified with source maps vs local which isn't, then people want browserlist and scss linting and so on. I don't see how configuration can be escaped but I would be happy to have a path forward to change that if I knew how.
This is a great point. The author would have to rebase and force push. Or at least Github could try to selectively block access in the web UI.
Not original poster, but some quick notes:

- Easy setup. I was up in 5 minutes flat including reading time
- Good start templates
- Aesthetic quibble - dark theme seems off. I don't know if its a shade of grey that throws me off or what
- It does not have pretty moving animations of various boxes ( and it is a good thing! )

I will keep playing with it.
Same Sky Postcards
Yes that too! The stories are relateable but I feel like it should be more widely accepted that dealing with difficult people and situaions is as much part of the job as diagnosing slow servers.
If there's a terminal command to change the layouts, you could bind those to specific hotkeys in the normal gnome settings.
I've been thinking that workforce gender equality would happen faster if men had a predictable choice of being subsidized in heterosexual relationships.

I think an even distribution of people would choose that.

Seems a lot of energy is spent on not considering how the funnels are different for men and women, and how that factors into dilution of the workforce pipeline by gender initially and over time. My thoughts are that this is a greater factor in everything about this topic. Like, a lot of understanding about the work place structure could be made by noticing that many men don't really want to be there while many women are there out of pride in lieu of other choices. (Many =/= most. Likely an even distribution of all populations experiencing the same thing, except the choice of subsidy.)

I think you may be referring to package management rather than the import syntax of the language.

Literally, as one of the reinventions is actually called a "wheel".
Any chance that it's an example solution copy pasted from their site?
I'm not really sure. Try it, then take a look at reflog and see what's still referenced. Check the size of the .git/ directory as well - is it smaller? There are some ways to rewrite history in git, but until git GCs I believe that they are mostly non-destructive.

I'm sure that you could rm the .git/ and overwrite it but keep it pointing at the same repo. I don't know what would happen on the remote, though, when you push.
So I put the numbers into a calculator. Let us say that 3G for a minute would be tolerable for most humans, at least those that venture onto the Moon.

You need approximately 60 seconds of 3G acceleration to reach orbit around the Moon. That would mean some 54 km of an accelerator. That is more feasible than I instinctively expected. The main question is how much metal would be needed for 1 m of such accelerator track.

Yes. In new cars that are built. It doesn’t require cars built prior to be retrofitted with a camera.

> I've seen a few comments here about how Nix/NixOS fixes the whole python binary/library mess

Nix is a bit of a cult. Its theoretical aims are laudable, but in order to get there it forces you to do a lot of work and reason strictly in its own way. Whether all this work is worth the rewards, I think is open for debate.
> Once you’ve done that, good luck figuring out a dev server with HMR, since esbuild certainly doesn’t offer that.

Because vite does, and "just go with vite", right?
Start interviewing. There are places out there where the pay is really good and you have time for hobbies. They may still have similar pathologies as other places but at least you'll have a life outside of work. You don't have to be stuck at a place that sucks everything out of you and gives nothing back.
Two minutes is shorter than most pumps I've been to recently (and seems to be the theoretical max fill rate). Seems stations are using one actual pump for multiple dispensers. Meaning that it takes more like 5 minutes to actually fill my car from empty. Also, there's the "good enough" argument - 5 minutes gets you to the point where there's no perceivable difference.

5 minute charging would be a game changer. That means urban dwellers could use EVs the same as gas engine cars and that road trips look exactly the same as they do now (presumably gas stations would add EV stations with enough market penetration). This cable isn't the big issue in making that happen, but it's needed. Battery chemistry and power distribution become factors at that point, but we're on the way to solving those issues too
I do kill it, but I’m in and out of meetings all day, so it’s easy to forget.

Oh wow, you are right. The same happens on the latest iPadOS. Must have changed since I tested it last time.

I guess that's why nobody is using native elements. They can break any time the browsers change their appearance.

Guess I will have to create a custom element that "simulates" a plain dropdown.
What are you even talking about? Care to elaborate?
The JavaScript function Media devices.getUserMedia() will do this, and also includes screen sharing possibilities. It will ask the user for permission first but in a test situation, there's high pressure to accept those permissions or fail the test.
Clear conflicts of interest are usually fine. It’s the unclear or hidden ones that are sometimes problematic. I mean judges trust lawyers to argue cases on behalf of their clients with a declared conflict of interest to opposing counsel.
Great shout out. I still ought to try using it one of these days! It seems like a good option for people who want a better file system hierarchy without the extra complexity of Nix/Guix.
Google Formed ‘Fortnite Task Force’ in Response to Epic’s Moves
Started to talk about things not in evidence in his rebuttal, then did it again approximately 3.4 parsecs after the jury came back and sat down again so they had to get up and leave again after the judge stopped the prosecutor again. Overall the rebuttal was poorly delivered, very unconvincing and the prosecutor even accidentally managed to argue in favor of the defense a few times. I've seen more logically cohesive talks in fifth grade.
You claim I made that up. Then lets analyze your comment.

> The condition of staying in good relations with your wife

You do not say "one of", you say "the".

> where she does not take the children and blast off

You define having "good relations" as merely "she does not take the children and blast off".

> is not having a romantic life on the side.

Define romantic. Actually, also define cheating. Where is the boundary.

Do not wiggle out of this. You made a crap comment. If it is not what you believe than amend it, but don't claim it is not stating what it is obviously stating.

As for your last comment:

I never claimed that "being unfaithful is a good way to ruin your marriage" is not true. I put you on the spot because your comment claimed that is all that matters.

Also, voluntary termination of a contract is not breach of contract. And while granted, having the initiative is beneficial in a divorce, depending on the culture and jurisdiction, the outcome of "the women taking the children" may have the same probability.

Also, this assumes, the case of a male in a hetero relationship, being the one who cheats. I find all variants of cheating (man on woman, woman on man, woman on woman, man on man, etc.) equally plausible. Up until your comment there was no assumption on the genders of the partners. Your comment assigned genders to the cheater and the cheated.
Websites can ask for permission to use your camera.
I love HN because despite the bias for software development and entrepreneurship, the content - both links and comments - is pretty diverse. The users here truly come from all walks of life. For me the HN is great exactly because most content isn't directly relevant to me professionally, it's a source for a lot of information that probably will not reach me in other ways, but still benefits me in many ways.

An HN for Sysadmins will probably be just another r/sysadmin.

Github is a globally used site and US law takes precedence over all else. We need to decentralise the web.
This is one of the reasons people use Anaconda/miniconda for non-data science work: conda environments are self-contained Python installs, so if you conda/pip install packages into those environments, they will not break each other. This design requirement arose from the specific needs of numerical computing (which always drags in a ton of system-level C/C++/FORTRAN dependencies), but is a generically useful design construct.

Anaconda is a distro, and conda is a package manager, that works across OS platforms and hardware architectures, and installs cleanly into userland without requiring admin privileges. The only way we achieve this difficult goal is by creating a distro and build system that creates "portable" packages that can be relocated/relinked at install-time.

Ultimately, Python's challenges in this department come from the fact that it has such great integration with low-level C/C++ libraries. This gives it super powers as duct tape/glue language, but it also drags it down into the packaging tech debt of C/C++. Hmm... maybe I should write that blog post: "Python Packaging Isn't The Problem; C/C++ Is." :-)

The main reason to distribute python packages at the distro level is: Because something else distributed at the distro level depends on them.

I once spoke to David once asking if they would open source the UI for posterity and he politely replied in the negative. There are a few MacIvory installations left floating around so they might have a support contract stream (I'm guessing) although I'm not sure what other possible income they hope will be coming.

The preservation part is becoming most acute as there will soon be zero hardware and zero people who can get this into digital museum status.
Rust on MIPS64 Windows NT 4.0
Yes, Stirling's Nantucket series is a good example. Loosely also his Emberverse (basically the flip side of the Nantucket series) although I lost interest as I often do with long-running series. Lucifer's Hammer by Niven and Pournelle. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is probably the classic of the genre (Mark Twain).

Most of these books are probably overly optimistic about what one or a small group of smart people who just happen to have to right skill sets could accomplish in such a situation with very limited supply chains.
I was under the impression that you could 'rewrite' history if you wanted by amending, squashing, and removing commits? Or does some of the artifacts still live on?

For whatever it's worth, I'm the sort of person who writes makefiles for fun, and I regularly work with the build systems of go, C, rust, java, ruby, python, and javascript.

webpack is easily the most complicated, slow, frightening build system I have ever encountered and I will go far out of my way to avoid it.

The reason I moved away from gulp (v3?) at the time was because I considered configuration (especially an intellisense configuration) really simple as opposed to the god awful pipable javascript files gulp went for.

Not sure how much that plays to my strengths though because everything I have ever used has json file configurations or object file configurations.

Anyway I am definitely going to kick some tires on ESBuild, but I will just wait a while so thanks for some additional insight.
