Webshit? really dude.

I started off as a desktop publisher, moved up to graphic designer in the creative hub of my country, doing 3d design and video editing, from there I moved to animation and then to user interface design. throwing around 'webshit' is elitist at best and derogatory at worst. As if lack mental ability to do your job? Can you do mine?

You dont see any of us throwing around 'backend-bellend' when talking about fellow programmers.

Maybe I haven't come far enough with my ploomber use to tell yet! It works nicely but I know I'll learn more and open my eyes more as I go.

As a first impression, I eventually found meta.extract_upstream = False which I think is important. Reason: The code for each step should be a lego piece, a black box with inputs and outputs. That code should not itself hardcode what its predecessor in the pipeline is - you connect the pieces in pipeline.yaml. (extract_upstream = False is not by itself enough to solve this, since you also need to be able to rename inputs/outputs for a notebook to be fully reusable as a lego piece, but it's good enough for now.)

I also for my own sanity need to know more about how the jupyter extension part works, how it decides to load injected-parameters or not. But maybe I could learn that somehow from docs.

In general I want components that are easy to understand and plug together and less magic (but the whole jupyter ecosystem's source code feels this way to me unfortunately, lots of hard to follow abstractions passing things around). But it's developing rapidly and already very useful, thank you so much!

People are less confrontational in real life, than the internet would make it appear.

On the downside the internet also tends to remove nuance from content, thus it seems hard to assess if a comment belong to abrasive characters, people that badly express their controversial point of view, or trolls using sarcasm.

At least that's my impression about Twitter uproars I see spill to other platforms ocassionaly.

Phrased very poorly but you have a point.
> I once lived near a cafe that served coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and at night turned into a jazz bar with fancy cocktail drinks. They also had a retro shop at the back of the cafe selling all kinds of vintage knick-knacks. Their focus was all over the place, they couldn’t even make decent coffee. Less than a year after opening, the do-it-all coffee place shut its doors.

Years ago I once played a gig with my band in a place that was a coffee shop during the day, a restaurant in the early evening and a live music venue late evenings.

It was a delightful feature, not a silly bug, in a very small rural town in the Canadian Prairies (kind of our version of the US mid west).

Context matters. Especially in an article about “lovable”.

Somehow the entire article struck me as quite flimsy, just a small step above content mill material.

To the folks in this thread who think they know better than researchers at the forefront of foundational mathematics: I encourage you to learn type theory, and especially homotopy type theory. In doing so, you'll be forced to confront the various notions of judgmental and propositional equality. You'll see why it's useful to have a formal justification for treating isomorphic objects as equal (this is called "univalence"), which is something you may have even been doing informally/subconsciously all along.

In particular, homotopy type theory is a type theory, which means it looks like a programming language. So people here might find it a bit more familiar than, say, higher category theory. It'll be much easier if you know functional programming, so you may need to learn that first if you haven't already.

Yes. This has influenced the design of my AccessKit [1] project. With AccessKit, the application (or GUI toolkit) pushes tree updates to the platform adapter, which maintains a complete tree that it uses to implement the platform-specific accessibility API. Each application-supplied tree update can be a full tree or just the nodes that have changed. So an immediate-mode GUI can push a full tree every frame. There just has to be some way of keeping node IDs stable across frames.

As for NIH, kinda a bit but not really. Fossil was first released in 2006, Git in 2005 (mercurial in 2005 as well). At this point in time, there was no clear "DVCS" (distributed version control system) winner yet.

The author of Fossil is drh, who is a lot more famous for being the author of sqlite (who also happens to be a major player in the TCL community). If I remember correctly[0], Fossil was written a) to dogfood sqlite (fossil uses sqlite) and also b) to get something able to not just do the VC part for sqlite, but tightly integrated issue tracking, docs, rel-eng, etc in one single system, as well as some VC-related features not present in git/mercurial and other competitors of the time (and in many cases not available in git or mercurial of today).

[0] I looked into all this new-fangled DVCS stuff back then, because it looked really interesting compared to subversion that I was using at the time, and was a pain.

Python is more accessible in modern times than C, assembly, and Fortran.

But we are SO far past that now. My argument isn't for what should have happened in 1995, it's for the complacency which has allowed Python to become the top 1 or 2 language in 2022. It's like having proximity detectors on the back of your car, but you still start the vehicle with a crank at the front. We can do better; we have the technology.

Wait I thought distros ran one X server per logged in user account and put them on different ttys. Out of the box on Ubuntu I can log in as two separate users simultaneously and switch between those unlocked sessions as well as the login screen by changing the tty.

If you pass the GPU device node through to an LXC container I believe you can run an X or Wayland server fully inside of it but I'm not sure if changing ttys will work correctly because you might need access to more than just the GPU to handle the handoff with the kernel correctly.

Interesting, thanks for the response. I agree we can't take this further in HN comments.

I would only observe that alternate explanations for this behaviour than there being any actual value to being in the office are quite plausible, for example, demonstrating committment, or being afraid of being judged as less committed.
I think that this "concern" is the reason why this war is actually taking place. If NATO countries would have told that intervention is not out of question and invasion is not acceptable then Russia would have moved its forces back into their barracks after exercises.
To me, a big change happened when I realized that I was actually OK. Sure, I was clumsy interacting with people. But I wasn't such a mess that nobody could love me. I still had something to offer to other people.

Sure, people could still reject me in any given interaction. But that didn't mean I was a reject. I could interact with someone, have it go badly, and not have that destroy who I was.

How did I get to that point? Well, I am a Christian. For me, fundamentally it was a matter of having it really sink in that God loved me, and God accepted me, and therefore I was accepted and loved (and acceptable and lovable), no matter how this other human reacted to me.

If that isn't where you're coming from, I'm not sure that I can tell you some other way to get to where I wound up. But I do have some practical comments:

People love to talk about what interests them. If you know a little bit about a lot of things, and you can learn how to ask questions, you can get people to talk about what they care about. They'll think you're wonderful, because not many people listen.

Once you've felt a range of things, you can kind of understand what other people are likely to feel in certain situations. This is the beginning of empathy. (In any given situation, any particular person may be feeling something far different than what you expect. If you can get them to tell you, though, you can usually understand why they're feeling that, and you can remember what it feels like to feel the same thing.)

Both of these get easier with more experience. Therefore (if you work on it), this gets easier with age.

One other thing: At about 25, I had a mentor who had me write down in a notebook every single time I messed up interacting with someone. We went through them every week. This was not particularly fun, but it was helpful.
I had another colleague at Lockheed that forgot that when he was on VPN, his default printer was an MFP in the office... he *printed* (2AM) out a bunch of gay porn not realizing he was on VPN... yeah that was also super FN weird when HR came to me in the morning and handed me a manila envelope containing said printed out gay porn... and demanded "I NEED TO KNOW WHO PRINTED THIS OUT NOW!"

> Also, fossil feels like someone built it for almost NIH reasons,

Considering the rest of the SQLite development toolchain, it would be more surprising if they _didn't_ make something like fossil.

Although shunning mainstream tools like git is probably rooted in a "not invented here" attitude, I love that they bother to do so. Of course it's interesting to see what bespoke solutions they come up with, but it's amazing to see such a highly complex piece of software come with such a trivial set of dependencies. Indeed, even if it's antisocial for the SQLite devs to play in their own sandbox, the end result is nothing but increased portability for the rest of us.
You're referring to life as a game, and checking off a list of objectives. I might be wrong, but from just what you said it sounds like you did these "phases" because you wanted people to think you were these things, not because you were them. I've found people (especially woman) are good at seeing through these pretenses.
I always give the user the benefit of any doubts when it comes to Google or any other company that uses "AI" support. I don't care if the user did it to themselves, a person at the company should be able and willing to fix it.
My website [1] is handcoded and I decided to push ES6 with ESM modules without any bloated build toolchain.

The website should work without JS but all the interactive features, gimmicks and improving parts are done with a bit of JS and CSS trickery ;)

Code for the weblog is statically pregenerated, and the article format is markdown.

I mostly built it for fun over the holidays, and decided to keep it as a creative space. Don't care what others think of it, and will never use angular or some other overengineered babel-using framework for my personal website.

I think that's what the (old) web was about: discovery of interesting corners on the web. And I want to keep that spirit alive.

Snap's philosophy appears to be: Given the option to not patch, users will not patch. And this is even worse in IoT land.

Which I can't say is wrong.

Who probably shouldn't use Snap are users with mature patch application skills, who are willing the invest the time to review and patch regularly.

That class of users is far smaller than {all users}.

When Fossil didn't have those features, the frequent complaints were that Fossil doesn't have those features, and that's why they had to keep using $INERTIA_SOURCE. Now that it has those features, it's the reason not to move to it? I see. :)

All of these features cooperate and serve the same goal: coordinate the work product of people on a project, in a distributed fashion. One path to that is the nearly fully centralized model of GitHub. Another is the VCS + mailing list + bug tracker + wiki path, which requires considerable admin resources to manage, and at the end of the day is a pile of barely-cooperating services. Fossil's path is to put them all into one place so they all work properly together.

You can reference ticket IDs from a forum post.

You can point to a section of the timeline from a wiki article.

You can create diagrams in Pikchr format that live as version-controlled text in the repo and reference them from commit messages.

You can generate HTML diffs and include them into the body of a Markdown chat posting for discussion of a proposed change before committing it.

Etc., etc. It's all communication, which you need when you have multiple people working on a project, especially across time zones.

I suspect that this time reuters got tricked to publish this without even a test. You do not need to know Chinese, a search for Keanu Reeves in English on Baidu also works.

Saying declarative short (and virolic) sentences like this also helps no one.

Humans already eat a wide variety of foods as part of their daily diet that have no natural occurrence (lemons, broccoli, many different kinds of meat) - they were specifically bred that way. Some people have concerns about GMO in the same angle - that since for example these cattle are bred to endure climate change and they have no 'naturally occurring' example, there might be something inherently unsafe about them.

Yes, GMO is a new technique, but there is an intelligible way to connect the dots between the GMO and what humans have been doing with our food supply for thousands of years.

No one is holding him responsible for her actions. He should recuse himself to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and that's what most of the conversation is about.

> "That said, a game can deliberately target such style, and yet hide considerable richness of implementation (consider: Noita, Dwarf Fortress)."

It definitely can, and Monkey Island and other SCUMMVM games are examples of having lots of gameplay and comedy, despite constrained graphics. As are card games and board games, for that matter. Fancy 3D isn't the be-all, end-all. In more recent years SpeedRunner[1] isn't pixel art but it's quite simply styled, and is fun for leaning so heavily on a single game mechanic.

I'm not meaning to diss Kandria which might very well be a great game. I meant to call out the gulf between Lisp as "the best language" and "superlative applications" being developed with it then linking to Kandria might set one up to think of the "best games" of recent years, by popularity or profitability or ambitiousness or multiplayability, or replayability, or storyline, or VR support, e.g. Pokemon Go, Grand Theft Auto series, Dark Souls series, Fortnite, Fifa, Half Life Alyx, Tony Hawks Pro Skater remakes, Spiderman PS5, Elite Dangerous, Roblox and Minecraft, Final Fantasy series. Which all seem to have done alright without Lisp, and no game development houses have done the Paul Graham "Lisp as secret weapon" to make a game nobody else can make with other tools.
