The Order of Dependency Management has requested you update your package dependencies to the latest versions.

I have always been fascinated with the thought of a post-society world, where technology still lingers but can only be wielded by few, and perhaps truly understood by none. All previous knowledge gone, people would have to tinker, poke and problem solve their way to understanding how these arcane artifacts and mysterious facilities.

I think it interests me because the idea of idle curiosity and discovery in a vacuum seems wholesome and rewarding. No roles to fill, no bills to pay, and all your capabilities are wrought from your own efforts not bestowed upon you by the exchange of money (smartphones, cars, etc).
This isn't technically a DDOS though, is it? My understanding is that they're overwhelming humans' capacity to process the applications, rather than machines' capacity to process them.
Awesome, thanks for chiming in! Just curious what made you choose paddle, and also, can you mention some rough numbers on what's the cheapest thing you sell, whats the most expensive thing you sell, and what the dev experience has been like integrating it?

Not at all. Many of the people from Reddit are specifically applying using local zip codes, local addresses, and local area code phone numbers. Kellogg is going to have a massive headache trying to sort through these imo.

Edit: One thing I didn't think of was application source IP address. It's possible the ATS records that info when an app is submitted, so they could possibly delete bogus records that way but I'm no ATS expert and this is literally just my own conjecture.

Haven't watched yet, but I always wonder, what would be their reason to do so? I assume it takes huge amount of time and effort. They would get pretty similar effect by stopping much earlier. No need to polish two stone to death, just to fit one onto another. Whats even weirder, many times they seem to care much more about the connecting sides, not the eye-facing one. I don't buy the slavery-argument. Even with access to "free labor" there is no point in over-expending the time and effort.
it was in March 2021:

“Herd Immunity Is Near, Despite Fauci’s Denial”

It’s December 2021. What went wrong?

So, in March people should have said the opinion was reasonable and made corresponding policy decisions.

Include any facts that support a belief and omit all others.

Anyway, I’m simply saying the track record of the Journal leans more in one direction, and is frequently wrong.

Furthermore, no one ever follows up to correct all those incorrect opinions

Perhaps the steady diet of “coronavirus is no big deal” and “climate change “ opinions has skewed my opinion but to me the wsj seems to have an agenda.

> I also believe you have to follow the Greek Orthodox religion to be able to visit - they might make some rare exceptions.

You need a permit (effectively, a visa) to enter the peninsula, and there is a daily quota. About a tenth of available permits can be issued to non-Orthodox visitors. They don't single out the Greek church from other Orthodox churches (AFAIK).

[I researched the entry requirements a couple of years ago out of curiosity, but never tried to actually visit. Something may have changed in the meantime, but somehow I doubt it :)]
Greek Orthodox religion is somewhat of a misnomer. There are other Eastern Orthodox churches which are in communion with the church in Greece. The religion is Eastern Orthodox, Greek is a language/hierarchy within orthodoxy.

Also, I'm reading a book about Mt Athos now, it was mentioned that a tourist was on the island. That must have taken place ~100 years ago, mind you.

Unfortunately "suburb" is an overloaded and ill-defined term that can mean anything from "pre-war streetcar suburbs laid out on a grid, with a main street, walkable amenities, and (at least here in the Northeast, if not everywhere) access to commuter rail" to "a modern cul-de-sac development attached to a high-speed arterial that's walkable to exactly nothing."

I agree, i think it's far more likely that those favoring the disabled child are simply rejecting the artificial and abstract notion of utility described in the hypothetical, and going with their own experience. Which is that the real-world utility to the disabled child is in fact far higher. I don't think anyone could read that hypothetical (particularly in the age of the Internet) and believe that putting a gifted child in a city would be significantly harmful to them.
Its sad but the ideals of Western Civilization / Democracy have really sunk in the last couple of decades. Most ideals of a free press and democratic rule appear to be nothing more than marketing tools that the powerful elite use to keep people compliant.
I think this or something similar was posted a week or two ago

I also wondered the same thing, but the issue seems to be mostly for people who want to distribute tools built in Python via Linux package managers

i.e. it should be possible to do that and not have to explain to users that it even uses Python, and certainly not that you have to first set up a virtualenv, then pip install dependencies etc

It's a use case I've never had, and mostly just accepted that Python was ill-suited for, but I can see it would be nice if it worked and at the same time didn't compromise other uses too much
It's an interesting take but you are only partly correct, because only some of these problems are self-inflicted, so to say. There are only as many ways you can influence your blood pressure levels for example. At some point no matter what you do - you run an hour a day, eat veggies mainly, eat zero salt (which is not recommended btw) - and still have higher blood pressure than your older colleague with BMI above average. So you can't just claim COVID-19 is punishing the people who don't take care of themselves.
10-12 years ago, the consensus used to be that this singularity simply does not show up in the wild in the vast majority of scenarios, and the performance hit of using `slerp()` is just not worth it unless truly needed.

It was essentially the same reasoning as for using `-ffast-math`. Yeah it's not "correct", but users can't tell the difference and it has a measurable performance benefit.

To be clear, I'm not questioning using slerp() at all, it definitely has a role to play. I'm just wondering about using it by default as implied by the post.
It's just a theoretical value that philosopher's use to avoid the subjectivity of utility when making an argument. They are well aware it's subjective, but the subjectivity of utility is agreed upon and not of interest in these thought experiments.

Recollection
> something that needed explaining

This is like asking why we need science at all. We might know that obesity is a significant risk factor, but we don't know why and what we could do about it. So yes, it does need explaining. This is a possible explanation and might inspire further research into the topic, in particular preventative or curative treatments.
It's actually well written, rather pretty code.

Edit: The code is not PERFECT as MANY people have picked it apart below.

But if I had to work with this code on a daily basis I would certainly not mind.

If you ever need a code review just post your code on hacker news and say it's well written....
I'm in a similar position, these are the ones that I've found by far the most helpful (they also complement each other well, they're very different). I've honestly had a hard time finding good resources other than these, curious to hear if there are other recommendations.

I stand corrected! Thanks for the link, that's very cool.
And probably https://github.com/pradyunsg/installer https://pypi.org/project/installer/ too, but that one isn't under the pypa org yet, given the author, it probably will be.

All that being said, the deprecations and removals are being done way before the replacements are in place and tested and features/rough edges rounded out, which I guess is python tradition at this point.

IMHO, the repos maintained by pypa should all be part of the core teams responsibility (e.g. pip is maintained by pypa, not core, but its installed as part of the python installer you download from the foundation's website...), along with solving building/installing/packaging/distributing as a whole. But the core team decided their volunteers didn't want to work on that (ok fair) and pypa stepped up to do it, but never really had enough manpower to tackle it well (ok also fair). And none of the tech companies ever thought "gee we rely so heavily on this awesome tool, maybe we should send them some money to keep the lights on..." So instead its just been a giant mess.
No, that's not correct. People from other religions are allowed. It's just that there's a daily limit to the amount of people who can enter the region and the analogy is like 10:1 orthodox/non-orthodox. I think it's like 120 people in total, or something like that.

not only because of the left/right politics, but also because defending Assange as a "journalist" caused them grief. The definition of journalism is at stake: if someone who just posts to the internet is a journalist and can defend their actions as necessary for the operation of a free press, then that includes bloggers[0] and all sorts of riff-raff.

Craig Murray's trial had a similar outcome: he's not a "proper" journalist because he doesn't work for a media/newspaper company. And the judge gave an opinion that bloggers should get tougher sentences than journalists[1].

It'll come back to bite the journos, and some of them know this and are saying it. But most are keen to carve out special exemptions for themselves from laws that the rest of us have to follow.

We talk about it all the time. For a little while I was playing with a set on fundamental block cipher cryptanalysis (Matsui, differential, etc) but I put it down. When we interview people for the podcast, I'm going to start asking them for suggestions for new challenges; for instance, I'd love to see if there's dumb lattice crypto bugs we can capture.

you clearly have massive internal stigma against people with psychologically-based illness. this is not the same as "making it all up."

this is exactly what i mean when i say this stuff is politicized.

i disagree fundamentally with the epistemic theory of "trust people to know what is causing their illness, not doctors or researchers."

e: for evidence of what this particular strain of "patient advocacy" looks like, just peruse through this person's previous comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29398210), such as:

> Alzheimer isn’t a disease but a symptom of chronic viruses and bacteria. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6066504/

> People with Alzheimer have been cured after taking antibiotics.
> the person was on foot

And... what? standing still? People use their feet to MOVE. (Also, drive-bys are so called for reason...)

If I shoot across my street, that bullet is either going into:

1. a (small, and, again, MOVING) human target, or

2. my neighbor's house.

Have you ever shot at a target moving at 6-10+ miles/hour roughly perpendicular to your line of fire? Shit's not easy. If I let off more than one round, odds are high that at least one bullet is going into my neighbor's house.

Oh. And if a bullet is shot into my house, that shit is coming into the house. Or did you think think glass panes/drywall stop bullets? So where the hell am I even going to take cover when exchanging fire?

> There is risk in any action you take

Basement. Lock door. Find cover. Wait. Rule zero of self defense: don't get into gunfights in an open street, and don't depend on drywall as a bulletproof barrier. (Actually, that's not even rule zero because most people aren't stupid enough that it has to be explicitly stated.)
I think you're underestimating the extent to which monasteries are commercial, and have been for many many centuries. You don't go there to chill, you go there to work hard and earn money for the monastery. In past times, they were helped along because they were given a monopoly over certain economic activities. Getting a job at a sclerotic state-owned enterprise is probably the closest equivalent today.

Be careful with the claim that a "protest" makes something legal.

A bunch of trump supports went to Washington to "protest" - not turning out very well for them. Similarly with many other protests (BLM etc etc), folks getting picked up breaking windows, stealing, burning down buildings etc - they don't get off free because it's a protest or there is not something in the law that makes calling something illegal a protest legal.
I remember the first time I encountered quaternions, and it was in a similar context. I was using PiQT 3d to move models in a simulation.

At first it really bothered me that quaternions were a black box to me, yet so easy to use in so many contexts. What kind of magic was happening? I had to know.

My math is terrible. I spent actual days revisiting YouTube videos explaining quaternions but my limited brain cells were failing to properly grasp it. I had to know though, I’d go crazy writing so much code that depends on something I couldn’t understand.

It took a long time. This would have been very helpful. Quaternions are very cool, and well worth reading about if you do anything in the digital 3d world.

I think I can still hear my brain sizzling as I tried to absorb this stuff.

Appreciate your thoughtful reply! One question. Regarding this bit:

> He did investigate Rust to a certain extent, but bounced hard. His chosen program didn’t really show off Rust’s strengths, because he started by trying to call select and write essentially the same program that he would have written in C. That’s a pretty painful way to go.

Is this stating that he was writing the Rust version similarly to how he would have written it in C because that was the most natural way to do it in Rust or simply because it was the first path he went down? In other words, was your point that Rust is a fundamentally poor fit for this problem, or was it that his lack of experience with the language took him down the wrong path?

Thanks!

I donated an old South Bend that I restored when I left Canada to a United States friend living in the Rockies. Put it on blocks in the back of the pickup and drove it all the way there under a tarp.

I really loved that little lathe, as long as you went easy on the feeds it would work just fine. No play at all in spite of being ancient.

Not noticing it is exactly my fear.

Passing an error manually up several levels when it may only be a theoretical concern is a ton of expressive duplication. If I'm in the mindset, that would feel like valuable work, even though it isn't actually making things better for users.

It reminds me of one team I dealt with years ago. They were Java experts used to doing enterprise stuff; their overlords had put them on a scrappy, startup-like thing that was intended to be open source. As was in fashion for Java at the time, they had written things in many layers, the goal of which was to provide scaling cut-points. However valuable in theory, the project ever needing to scale was uncertain. What really mattered was finding something that served user needs. But the layer-by-layer duplication increased the cost of change significantly, lowering the odds we'd find the right product.
