Because it will limit the circulation of USD and may have disastrous outcomes to the US financial system and the western world as we know it. The ability to expand money supply is directly dependent on where you could put this money into use. And it is not like there hasn't been an oversupply of EUR/USD lately.
Not to single you out, but so many responses are trying to offer some single factor that is suddenly making this worse when most of them are long term trends that should apply to other places this isn't happening.

So while driver's education probably should look a lot more like civilian pilot licensing with required x hours of instruction time, that by itself isn't going to have noticeable effects for years as the median age driver cohort benefitting from that becomes larger.

It'll take years to tease out what is going on here, but if nothing else the take-away is to be careful out there, and it's not just anecdata that it's more dangerous.
Sounds like we actually agree on this, we are just emphasizing opposite ends of the scenario. Sorry to have claimed that you did not understand what I was talking about. I've had some painful life experience which leaves me a bit sensitive here.
Well, on paper:) You, personally, are an amazing marketing department no matter what your official title is; "The Soul of a New Machine", for instance, is brilliant at getting mindshare. To be fair, I'm fairly sure you don't think of what you're doing as marketing, but the only difference I see is that this is much more natural/sincere than 99.99% of similar efforts - you're actually just that passionate and good at sharing your passion.
I feel as though the US has an abundance of unique problems that make outside comparison completely useless.
I'm just one fool with an opinion on the internet, but FWIW I like "collision" as a substitute for "accident" better than "crash". "Crash" connotes something spectacular and would seem to exclude fender benders, while both "accident" and "collision" would include them.

This PEP doesn't really stop functionality for nearly 3 years and even then it's only with the newest Python version so people can stay on the older version for another 2-3 years of further transition fully supported by the Python community.

Curious... if I'm still in the "triage" bucket after 6 weeks should I assume the ship has sailed? I was really hoping to hear back one way or the other!
You can be fired for any reason, aside from a few exceptions, but since the "reason" simply never needs to be one of the exceptions, it undermines the point of the exceptions.

In New York, a compliance officer was fired for reporting compliance violations and this former employee challeneged that and lost, and lost on appeal, helping people realize that its a check-the-box job filling a seat.

So, as these will always be at state levels and will remain unresolved for all states within your lifetime, you have to make assumptions for how to achieve and maintain standing in society. Best to just assume its the same everywhere. As this extends to nearly anything regarding employment, there is no reason to elevate "using paid time off" as any higher reason you'll get fired than anything else. If you are intimidated and feel there will be a disruption in your ability to exchange time for food and shelter, then there is no assurance that US employment can offer you.

You have to try to make in-office leverage yourself, and then rely on the assumption that you have it.

I like unlimited PTO because it doesn't "accrue". I don't stay at places long enough to accrue PTO.
That sounds reasonable to me. In a cascading failure where network congestion ramps up (eg, old school NFS), the machines with the worst network bandwidth or latency would time out first, and be the last to recover.

In a heterogeneous cluster, I might expect the fastest machines to die last, and either a human operator concentrating on getting the most capacity back online first, or just automation getting the fastest one online first, since a faster machine can go from hard down to green health check sooner than the slow machine. Not precisely reverse chronological order, but certainly with large statistical clusters.

And on top of that, exponential back-off would cause the same phenomenon.

But if your question is "why more bugs that way?" your guess is as good as mine. Mine is 'consensus is hard.'.

The thing that scared me about San Diego were the lane-to-lane differentials in speed. You'll have an exit lane stopped and people ripping along at 80mph just a few feet away.

The high speeds in Texas were in the long connectors between metro areas. It's so flat out there that honestly it never felt 'dangerous', it's just that a greater percentage of run-of-the-mill mishaps will result in death. You couldn't do that in SoCal, too much terrain.

Some questions from someone who is fairly ignorant.

1) Is it really worthwhile to prevent rot, when instead decaying trees can just be placed somewhere to hold the carbon underground?

2) Does the higher metal content or change to C4-style plants lead to any macroscopic changes in the wood, especially with regards to strength, workability or warping/expansion?

3) Is there a reason you focused on decay-resistence over the other areas you expressed, specifically nitrogen fixation, which seems like it would get faster results on the "trees as carbon sinks" goal?

There are some things on the list that I totally get. We probably don't need support for .aif files in Python's stdlib, or support for the Sun directory service.

But I hate to see these get removed:

- cgi
- pipes
- uu
- telnetlib

A lot of people still use CGI. Yes, it's slow / low-performance / etc. It's also a perfectly fine way to make a knockabout internal service.

Pipes is a small pure-Python module, with nothing tricky about it. Why delete it? It's good at what it does. Subprocess equivalents are a lot more effort to write, even if you can eventually get to the same result.

Uu is old, yes. But it's not broken either. Folks do still uuencode things from time to time. Why delete it?

Telnetlib is personally useful to me, since telnet is one of the easiest ways to interact with a qemu VM's console. I hate that the answer is "Use something on Pypi instead", because that increases my dependency surface and adds no value for me. Why delete working, stable code?
I think people know the rules of the road, but driving is a social activity with it's own norms like any other. That's why drivers from different parts of the country drive differently. (I'd also argue if you want to fix this you need to make police enforce traffic stuff only instead of using it as a pretext for other kinds of enforcement.)

If we want to make driving tests much harder then we need to not make driving required for day to day life.

I'd argue that there are true "accidents", they're just not all collisions.

In our laws we have even have different levels of fault, accident -> negligence -> recklessness -> premeditation, and criminal vs civil.

You're right thou all of humans don't adequately understand + calculate risk.

I don't think it's just the media. It's a number that you see on your drive to work, so it makes sense that it's near top of people's mind when it comes to "cost of living" or "inflation".
Surprised the ones without a replacement don't have PyPI modules available. I'm sure some enterprising fellow will simply extract the code and switch it into a PyPI module.
"I think it's great reading for anyone who believes homelessness is an issue that can be solved by throwing free housing at people."

By definition, if you give someone a home, they are not homeless.

"Andre lives in an apartment"

So he's not homeless.

"Homelessness is a social phenomenon, not an economic wart caused by expensive housing."

The problem with Andre is that he steals stuff. He's not homeless. Not every homeless person steals stuff or is an evil person.

The problem is the money is going to the wrong people. There are a lot of good and honest people that are homeless and/or struggling to pay their rent. Andre isn't one of them. Andre gets his housing for free while other people freeze and are basically forced to kill themselves. Why is that?
Also, how does this work out in the US, where the tax system and farm subsidies distort the market?

It's not, so far, but it would be because Ukraine is a democracy and Russia is a dictatorship.

Not sure why this was down voted.

K-means in its standard form does make a Euclidean hypothesis (it does not minimize a distance but the in-cluster variance).

It is not correct to use arbitrary distances because k-means may stop converging with other distance functions.

Battle of the VPNs: Which one is fastest?
China as a monopsony buyer of Russian gas will be able to set the price, even one that does not recoup the capital costs.

Even before the invasion, the Power of Siberia had been viewed as extremely unprofitable (it seems likely that corruption played a major role in driving up costs), and then there's the further issue that more work is necessary for it to send its total capacity, which is a fraction of what it sends to Europe.

> Yet the project does not appear to be as grand a success as Moscow would have liked it to be. To begin with, the capacity of gas production on the Russian side of the border is open to doubt. The Chayanda gas field in Yakutia region, currently the only source of gas for the pipeline, can produce up to 25 bcm a year.

> To deliver 38 bcm to China, Gazprom has to develop another large field, Kovykta in the Irkutsk region some 800km south of Chayanda, and connect it to the Power of Siberia with another pipeline, which has not been built yet. The completion of the infrastructure needed for pumping the required volume to China is probably going to take more than 10 years, according to Gazprom’s pre-feasibility study of the project.

> ...

> Currently Gazprom sends westwards about 200 bcm annually via a number of pipeline routes. The Power of Siberia project, however, has a limit of 38 bcm and it is unlikely that another major pipeline project would be launched any time soon. Thus, the Russian company would not be able to switch export flows as it pleases.
We deal with the exact same issue regarding meltdowns when certain things aren't available.

I may suggest one thing we did to start removing certain things so the lack of the target item is less critical:

Find more things your child likes to line up. We have PlusPlus [0], LEGO, Tegu [1], and wooden train track [2] available. Once you have a variety of options removing one of them is less likely to cause a meltdown if they've started using the others. This dilution of the importance of something they are attached to has been amazingly helpful.

Note that for TEGU and PlusPlus they can occasionally be found (typically after Christmas) in the discount stores (TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc.) for huge discounts if you are in the USA. Otherwise shop around.

It's plausible. But anyone who has used cloud hosting for a personal website knows how ridiculously expensive it is - and it scales linearly! Mostly egress costs - they want to hold your data hostage.

Interesting technology though.
And the number of injured soldiers is usually 2-3x greater. Which means that Russia potentially has up to 36,000 troops out of action - that's between a quarter and a third of their entire forces in Ukraine!
After being annoyed with Python's crazy unstable tooling, I've resorted to running everything I do in docker containers.

Makes it really easy to get a new project up and running. "docker compose up", and point pycharm to the python container as the remote interpreter and it's up and running. No longer having to spend a few days getting the local env up and running on some developer's unlucky configuration of software+hardware.

So while I still use a local IDE, and run most of my stuff in a container locally, it's not too far off from I feel it's viable to move everything to a computer in the cloud. Our DS people are working like that already, with their notebooks and stuff.
It also turns out that not many people have 3-phase power and can support a heat/power load of 15kW in their homes ;)
Not mentioned in the article but CodeMirror has a brilliant story for realtime collaborative editing. You have two options:

- An Operational Transform (OT) based system built by Marijn (the creator of CodeMirror)

- A Conflict Free Replicated Datatype (CRDT) based system using Yjs built by Kevin Jahns (the creator of Yjs) - https://github.com/yjs/y-codemirror

OT Demo: https://codemirror.net/6/examples/collab/

Yjs Demo: https://demos.yjs.dev/codemirror/codemirror.html

Both are brilliant, but I'm a huge fan of Yjs - the number of different bindings to different editors (and state systems) is incredible. It's a great platform to build collaborative tools on and the big plus is offline editing support, you can have a document diverge significantly while offline and still merge successfully. OTs are a little more difficult to make work well for a significant period offline.

I don't know which of the above Replit use, I would suspect the OT version as they mention building a OT system for Ace in the article.
Props to Lifelines. It arranged my thoughts on how to handle survival data, by requiring the data in a clear format.
IANAL

Customers don't have to be in EU for GDPR to apply, it applies everywhere as long as the data subject is an EU citizen. You're probably already not compliant unless you can 100% guarantee that none of your users in the US are EU citizens.

The goal of GDPR is not to enforce a technical choice of a provider/technology but to ensure the existence of processes and the validity of data collection and usage by companies on EU citizens. In essence, no it is not required to host your data in Europe but that is a possible interpretation.

First lawyer up, identify which data items are PII and what is not, make sure you have a process for article 17 (right to data erasure), appoint a DPO, make a real privacy policy stating the full extend and intent of data collection. Depending on the type of data you process different regulations will apply in addition to GDPR (PDSG, HDS for health data BaFin/AMF for finance in Germany/France) they vary based on industry and country, that will impact your overall technical design so this is prep work for everything else.

Technically I would definitely suggest having a separate database in EU and be prepared to potentially split your data among different countries as well. The processing of that data also might need to be split between US/EU and EU countries.

If you deal with data aggregation between EU/US you might not be allowed to run some analytics that contain personal data and will need to anonymize it and justify of that process to your DPO.
Maybe I misunderstand sass, but wouldn't they be able to just remove their specific "if" implementation and just allow sass users to use the CSS "if" implementation?

Will the two "if" implementations have dramatic differences in how they act?
I think part of the problem is that even people who don't want to drive or hate driving are all but forced to do it in many areas because of lack of other "affordable" options. More work from home has improved that at least.

There would certainly still be ignorant people on the road if driving was entirely voluntary, but maybe there would be less impatient drivers and it would be more tenable to universally require driver's ed/have intense standards.

We are using make targets to automate ci/cd, local dev and a lot of other things by adding a set of easy to extend, customise template makefiles as submodules.

The main advantage for us is it's same everywhere and it's agnostic to underlying technologies. (we are only supporting unix based environments and have guidelines to setup gnumake in macos).
By using this way, we ensure that the general SDLC is same across different repositories and underlying tooling can change anytime without inducing a lot of refactoring

We are also using make targets to document themselves. How to use, what are other targets, variables you need to define etc. This makes it a powerful CLI app for us that can run and support many things.

For anyone interested: https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/sdi/ska-cicd-makefile
and the similar parsing method for self documenting makefiles: https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/sdi/ska-cicd-makefile/-/blo.... We didn't know about magicmake that's linked here that does the similar thing
Sorry if I came off that way, make sure to flag me. A big draw of the site was that it was so focused on politics, science and programming; if you'd been a regular user you just wouldn't debate that, I don't know how else to put it.

It's like saying "I miss the early days when Truth Social wasn't so partisan."

You don't seem to know much about the site's history, and just called me a "jerk," I guess that passes for "engagement."
Why can't legacy MSI support be a standalone library? It looks like no one is maintaining it right now anyways so that should be some red flags right there.
> For example, least controversial are 30-year-old multimedia formats like the sunau audio format, which was used on SPARC and NeXT workstations in the late 1980s

Why would something like that add maintenance burden to the Python devs? I'd expect such code to be very, very stable.
I'm not saying cars cost nothing, they obviously cost some money to own and operate - but what they deliver in return is far greater than what they cost, especially on the dirt-cheap beater end!

In a former life back in IL I taught my GF at the time how to drive stick in a $250 Mazda 323 before even registering or insuring the thing. She then proceeded to drive this car to/from work and around town for a year before the engine and trans literally fell out of it (rust belt). The income from the job she drove to far exceeded the cost of the car. She took some safety risk driving a rust bucket, but you have to make compromises when you're resource constrained.

When I relocated from IL to CA for work I did it in a $500 Ford Ranger. This vehicle served as the bootstrap of a major life relocation. Eventually its brake line burst (rust belt), but that was long after the relocation was over and I was sitting pretty with other CA rust-free used vehicles already, with the truck mostly sitting around for hauling things.

From where I'm sitting used cars are absolutely amazing tools and their exceptionally cheap widespread availability in the USA is a feature not a flaw. Take advantage of it, get over your fears of getting your hands dirty or suffering some injury - you're smart enough to do it. But it doesn't matter how smart you are if you panic and shy away from the unfamiliar.
And I've found my current role with one of them - I actually barely interacted with her and she basically just introduced me to the company.

I just don't expect anything from them. I see them as a (rather inconvenient, but it's there) intermediate, that's pretty much it.

I was trying to refute the claims of the GP. Please don't insinuate I'm on Russia's side because I'm trying to understand both sides of this horrific situation. It's possible to be pro-Ukraine but also see why Putin invaded.*

I initially thought that “if” should be the obvious choice, ignoring sass entirely. However, it’s clear that “when” makes more sense than “if” given CSS’s interpretation anyways. “if” sort of implies a more “one-time” use like in a template/macro or preprocesser. “when” really captures the temporal invariance of CSS’s conditionals.
I have a corduroy jacket... so, halfway there? ;)

Realistically, it is (somewhat) fixable in small contexts. I've worked (and continue to work) on teams that are somewhat decent at risks and probabilities, but it's definitely an exceptional experience.

I don't know how to widely teach that. But I'm not yet ready to give up and say "it can't be taught", because those folks on my team are the counterexamples.
Interdependent trade was theorized to promote peace, but it was only ever a theory, and one that’s becoming increasingly outdated with each passing day that Russia remains in Ukraine. Certainly there are aspects of the concept that are true, but Germany’s dependence on Russian gas is now limiting its ability to respond to a crisis. They’ve handicapped themselves and can no longer promote peace and in fact are funding a war.
