When you say Python's way is uniquely obtuse, you are making a comparison to other packaging systems.

Labeling something a "dumpster fire" is a value judgement. It can't be "objective", unless there is a physical dumpster that is burning. It's not like the Python community hasn't solved this problem because it's lazy or incompetent. It's just a hard problem.

How to choose the right coding course for your kids'
Early work on the internet was in the 1960s. Much of that stuff you're talking about didn't happen until 40-50 years later. So what you're saying is I'll likely be dead before I see any tangible benefit from all this hubub?

Which is kinda cool. But also kinda depressing.
Thanks for the kind words! I totally agree, I feel we'll look back at how we currently find online content in a few years from now and wonder how could we possibly be okay with it.
> - Use pip freeze > requirements.txt as a "lockfile".

This is not and has never ever been correct. It makes it infinitely harder to install an application vs the standard `pip install -e .` which works on every package manager and avoids PYTHONPATH issues, as well as being able to publish your application to PyPI for easy installation (as simple as pip install --user app or pipx install app).
Once again Neo-liberalism is rearing its ugly head.

It was fine and fashionable for Wikileaks to show the dirty laundry of the non-western world. Celebrities and the commentariat praised him and the organisation.

However when Assange chose to disclose the Iraq files and Hillary Clinton's dirty laundry. The narrative was turned hostile quickly.

One thing to note this is more complicated than a right wing/liberal split. This is about the institutional powerbase that has grown over the last 50 years of Globalisation.

If you cross their path, then you are fair game.
Hopefully Assange will not be killed off like Seth Rich or Epstein.

Ah, Hm. So you did get what i was suggesting, though? The idea was that maybe you could think of particles exactly the same way as you do orbiting planets that eventually return to an original configuration. I am saying you could (possibly) think of entangled particles as kind of like billiard balls. You wouldn't think about bouncing balls, though, you would think about particles and the guaranteed force between them. The thought is that if the universe is just a wave system, then if you take all nondeterminism out of it, it's just gonna loop forever right? I mean if we think about gravity and basic bodies, like a universe of just two bodies, it's just gonna loop i think. The particles will eventually end up where they started, just like a pool table.

So maybe if two particles are entangled, they phased together in some way at one time and must phase together in that way until the end of time, unless you bump it wrong again.

I dunno.

Ask HN: How to secure sensitive operations (cyber security)
I need to perform certain sensitive operations on my computer (access important bank account, sensitive passwords, etc).
I currently have 1 mac, and my approach is to not install any closed source software.

This approach is very limiting though, as there are many closed-source software that would greatly improve my productivity, and some are straight necessary for some of my business activities.

So I am currently considering purchasing another mac and performing only sensitive operations on one (with only open source or highly trusted programs), and other tasks on the other (with a lower level of trust in installed programs).

However the downside is that managing two computers probably adds a significant complexity.
Is there a better way to achieve this? Thanks!

>> This is not a very surprising result, because it is known NNs generalize fairly well and at these levels you mostly only have blobs and edges that do not look much different from artificial ones.

ANNs generalise atrociously badly, hence the need to train with ever bigger data to cover every nook and cranny of the instance space of each class of interest.

Incidentally, when people say that ANNs "generalise" they mean many different things, for example that they "genealise on the test set" which is usually only observed when the tests set is known in advance (and so it has been used in tuning hyperparameters and the like) or even, incredibly that they "generalise on the training set" (i.e. the validation partitions in cross-validation). Conversely, there is a glut of novel terminology like "out-of-sample" or "out-of-distribution" to describe generalisation beyond the test set, but this kind of generalisation is typically held up as a weakness of ANN, because they're genreally really bad at it.

In any case, strong evidence of robust generalisation on out-of-sample data from few examples and with no or little pre-training, in ANNs, would be a surprise, indeed.
Absolutely. I'm not a therapist myself, and I learned a lot from reading it.

Salesforce.

Small biz (in general) doesn't do fully custom code. They simply don't have the budget for it. But they do sales, so often have a CRM, and Salesforce is the leading CRM. When they need to start having some custom work, adding some new forms and workflows in Salesforce is often step 1. Adding custom code in Salesforce is step 2. And if they grow beyond that... they are no longer a small biz.

If you really want to work for small biz, you will be implementing other SaaS products, not writing new ones. And that is completely legit work, with plenty of opportunity. Just maybe not the type you were hoping for.

Phoenix! Elixir is a lovely language with genuinely useful language features you'll miss in other languages (like with and partial function defs), Phoenix is elegant and once the immutable model clicks with you you'll wonder why you ever lived without it, and Ecto is a brilliant DB access layer that avoids many of the pitfalls of ORMs. All that and you'll be as productive as you're in any ol' MVC framework, great tooling in VS Code, and you get LiveView, which makes JS SPA frameworks redundant unless you really need the SPA interactivity. Just try it out.

> As a crypto skeptic, which I think is not fairly categorized as "hater," I think you're painting this in far too black and white terms.[1] "The current financial system is not great" and "cryptocurrency is not great" are not mutually exclusive propositions, right?

They are not mutually exclusive. However often retorts to Web3 or DeFi are along the line of "I can receive my salary for free" or "I can send a bank transfer for low fees and it settles in 24 hours" - the implication being, why do we need anything else this is fine. My question to those who roughly hold this position (whether they be haters, skeptics, curious, critical) would be, if we can agree that generically technology is improving many elements of our modern life, isn't it sensible that we should also be trying out new technologies for finance and banking? Banking and credit cards have largely stayed the same for decades, shouldn't we be innovating here? Regardless of whether you consider Web3 to be innovative or not, isn't it better that people are trying other ways to improve?

> There's very little about the way cryptocurrency and NFTs and even blockchains as a concept are presented that seems politically agnostic; "you shouldn't have to trust anything or anyone in order to complete a transaction" is not a conventionally partisan position, but when you're applying it to government institutions, surely it's political.

There's a line of argument that basically everything is political. But that's often kind of a pointless statement. I would say that Web3 is non-political in the sense that, if you have a credibly neutral trustless global operating system, secured by validators around the world and used by users around the world, this environment is apolitical. It's not Western, Chinese, Russian, no one is gate kept from interacting with it. It is open for all, transparent and unable to be censored. Having you're Paypal account locked because you're from Iran feels intuitively political in a way that the system I described above does not.
I am the one who always has had issues with TailwindCSS. But now I know why. It's not because it's polluting HTML. It's because I am not one of those, who can whip up some cute buttons on the fly.

TailwindCSS ir just a method for rapid designing, which I am totally incapable of.

Self-signed certs should be no scarier than unencrypted connections. If self-signed certs are allowed then you can have a case for banning unencrypted connections - the way Mozilla tried to do in the past, but they didn't allow self-signed certs.

If we're not going to show interstitial warning pages for HTTP-not-S sites, so you can't see if it's HTTPS without checking the address bar, then a red open padlock and a red strike through the "https" seems sufficient for self-signed HTTPS sites. Some indication is needed, otherwise you'd see the "https" and think it was secure, but the indication shouldn't be scarier than HTTP-not-S!

It's a fair point. I think the best solution would be for shells to have two modes - interactive and batch mode. Batch mode would require strict quoting.

Alternatively it could let you type without quotes and then automatically quote it for you (e.g. you press shift-enter and it auto-quotes it).

It's fine for interactive use because you can debug errors when they happen. The issue is with scripts.

Exactly this.

The difference between interpolation and extrapolation is almost the most important concept in all of machine learning practice.

It's infinitesimally rare (from what I've seen so far) that a practical machine learning model can perform high quality extrapolation, for many different metrics of quality.

There's almost always far, far too many confounding variable.
Most voices in support of Assange seem to come from people with strong conviction that he is clearly a good guy (unsurprisingly). I don’t really have an opinion.

Could someone provide a more impassioned / balanced list of pros and cons?

From my vague point of view, I get that he is sort of a journalist (so should be protected), but also the stuff he leaked did go quite far, like borderline-espionage scale (or is that unfair?). States have a reasonable need to keep things secret, even against the immediate best interest of the citizens (but not long term, clearly). Is much known about his associates, funding sources? If I were an enemy of the USA I’d probably quite like Assange (not that this on its own makes Assange himself a bad guy).

Beautifully written and reasoned. I disagree only in that I think more emphasis should be placed upon finding a niche that allows that range of expression. I also believe that society would be wealthier and happier if more such niches existed. But if you cannot find alignment, "working to live" is a reasonable compromise.

You clearly are creative, although you mock me by claiming that you are not. People who have worked hard to change an aspect of themselves are often especially harsh to those who have trouble with that same aspect.

For instance someone who is distractible may be a messy person by nature. But say they worked really hard and managed to stay neat and tidy by force of will and habit? They can often be more judgemental of untidiness than those to whom it comes naturally. "I have accepted this and overcome it, and it has cost me a lot.... Why have you not put forward the same effort?" Also, when you are confronted with an external image of the thing you have fought against, those emotions get transferred onto the thing. The emotional tone of that internal struggle with disorganisation becomes placed over the external world, over the top of the person who has not yet organised themselves.

And so it is with people who have struggled and sacrificed pieces of themselves to live in the world. When they see that part of themselves in others it can bring out the emotion of that internal struggle, which probably includes a little self loathing.

I think maybe that dynamic influenced the tone of your original message.

As my own dynamics influenced my reply. My anger with this world for being on average different to me led me to write something that had an undercurrent of resentment.

But it is only through the tension of our emotions that we find the will to act in the world. We may not always be the most reasoned beings, but it is this imbalance that gives us agency. It is through my anger and indignation that I act to change the world. To find myself at peace with the world is to find myself impotent, and I still suffer from the delusion that I have something of value to give.

Sometimes you need to deliberately not quote, though. For example, an output of a program might be a list of files, which I then might want to operate on using "for filename in $files". If I do this then I must have a guarantee that the files do not have spaces in them, but this is usually not a particularly onerous requirement for a closed system that doesn't have untrusted filename inputs. Splitting data using text separated by whitespace is part of the essence of Unix (see TAOUP). If you want to ban this kind of thing too, then you might as well not permit shell scripting at all.

I hate it when people offer to bet on something none of us has enough information on, or where there is a "high" probability (>10%, which is high for betting purposes) of any one thing being true.

Sure, you could still "silence" me with that because I am not going to bet my $100 on "showing you I am right", but I'd happily take your $100 and put them on a bunch of things people resort to "betting" on to get out of the discussion. I admit that my general knowledge is mostly in the "more likely", and as long as I am aware of that, that means that I am not willing to bet on it.

So what this "betting" approach gives you is to get out of the argument from risk-averse people, without proving anything. Don't ever take it as "I am right", because you have most likely failed to convince them of anything. It's akin to saying "you are right" without meaning it to get out of the discussion.

(I would do and I did bet with friends, where the bet was usually for an expensive lunch or something, but since I'd be willing to pay that lunch regardless and I find it amusing even if I am made fun of for "being wrong" by my friends, I wouldn't consider this actual betting :)
Key word, omitted from the title here: 'Preliminary'.
It's because you anticipate the destruction of the ephemeral object and then until it actually happens you need to store a variable waiting for the outcome to happen. This causes discomfort that can be alleviated if the card tower is knocked over. A part of your brain then attempts to incentivize knocking over the cards yourself by surfacing the childlike fun of throwing yourself into a pile of autumn leaves.
