Now that I understand what you're referring to, sure, absolutely. A apologize for not getting your point there immediately, since it now seems so obvious.

The Chihuahan and Sonoran deserts are certainly unforgiving landscapes for human settlement, even more so without access to groundwater. But they don't represent the full range of landscapes and ecosystems of the "desert southwest" - the northern half of both what is now AZ and NM is still relatively dry compared to areas east of the 100th meridian, but has lots more opportunities for water-requiring civilization-al stuff (especially along valleys like the Rio Grande).

Places like Bandelier and Gila show evidence of sedentary farming that lasted for (at least) hundreds of years. Yes, this is a different ecosystem and climate from the desert areas described in the article you linked to, but just as much a part of the human history of this part of the world.

Honestly, while the Amiga was a better graphics and sound machine and was better for games and some early video and digital audio stuff (trackers, etc.) -- the ST had a better "productivity" story. 640x400 paperwhite monochrome monitor + MIDI ports + MSDOS-compatible floppy format.

High resolution on Amiga was interlaced and required a scan doubler to be tolerable. Reading MSDOS formatted floppies required special software. DTP and other productivity software tended to find their way to the ST first. Atari made a rock bottom price cheap laser printer. The total package price for a 1Mb ST + high res monitor was lower than anything Commodore ever offered, and far lower than anything Apple offered, but still got you an 8mhz 68000, a GUI, MIDI ports, etc.

I always try to say: the competition for the ST was the Mac and a PC, not the Amiga. Different market segment. Yes, on a low-res colour monitor many people purchased the ST as a games machine, but it wasn't great for that, really. It was a cheap productivity machine, "power without the price". More memory and more Mhz per dollar than anything else out at the time. And that's the segment Tramiel was targeting, he was going after the Mac ("computers for the masses, not for the classes."). The "Jackintosh"

For MIDI sequencing, there's no comparison. The breadth of software on the ST was far beyond anything on the Amiga and some giants of the current DAW software market like Cubase and Logic got their start there.

And honestly, while onboard sampled sound generation on the Amiga was better than its competition, that's kind of a dubious distinction when we're talking about grainy low-bitrate 28khz 8 bit audio. Not exactly CD quality. Within a few years it was outdated relative to what you could get on a commodity PC ISA sound card.

> Does anyone honestly think politicians in a specific part of the world are not corrupt?

Just because American democracy is failing, it does not mean democracy is failing everywhere.
I had this experience on the committer side recently, where I contributed some functionality to a large project. The immediate response was effectively comments on lines saying "this is bad style, fix like this; the commit message is to long, rebase to that" etc. It wasn't necessarily a negative experience (in fact, as a new experience, I would say it was very useful), but I was a bit taken aback at how I was treated as an employee who had not committed something that was up to standards, rather than as someone who was keen to provide value to the project, and appreciated/guided accordingly.

I have to say, after I pointed out this was my first non-trivial contribution to the project, the developer in question backpedalled a bit and "on-boarded" me very politely and gave me lots of feedback and nice tips. But I think another way it could have gone was with me saying nothing and just quietly abandoning the PR.

I think saying something like the following can go a long way: "Thank you for your contribution and goodwill towards the project! Please understand that we cannot generally merge code that does not comply with our style standards. In your particular case, this means one of the regular developers may have to make the following changes (a,b,c) based on your suggestions, and commit on your behalf. If you'd prefer to do this yourself to carry the process to completion, and learn about our project's style and conventions a bit more in the process, you're more than welcome to do so; I'd be happy to guide the process or help out with any questions you have along the way."

This would prepare the committer that this dance is about to take place (and why!), so that they expect it, and decide whether they want to commit to it up front, rather than realise they're dancing halfway through and decide whether they want to continue or not.

Also, I would like to clarify the word 'badly-written' a bit. I would argue that occasionally, 'not up to the project's coding standards' and 'badly written' are not necessary synonyms. Some projects in particular have really awkward / prehistoric coding standards, and non-complying but well thought out commits are written with the best intentions. If there isn't a good explanation of why you're now trying to undo all those good intentions to introduce arbitrary spacings that hurt legibility, it probably won't go down so well with your committer.
There's a PEP for adding support for a __pythonpackages__ directory, similar to node_modules.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0582/

Unfortunately the PEP is from 2018 and is still being discussed. The last post in the comment thread is from February.

https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-582-python-local-packages-d...

That's unfortunate; until I went looking for citations I thought it was further along and actually scheduled for the next Python release.

Looks like there is a pip-alternative that implements the PEP, but I haven't played around with it yet.

> Among bootcamp students, There is this constant unhealthy comparison going on in their minds with the people who graduated from a Uni.

I sympathize with that (as someone who never went through uni for CS or a bootcamp), but at the same time, I've interviewed a bunch of bootcamp folks, and this mentality used to go the other way far too often as well. I've had a bunch of them have extremely huge egos and admitting to being told by their bootcamp that people who go to college for CS are less prepared for "the real world" than they are. I had one extremely rude candidate tell me straight up (after being told we're looking for someone with at least 5 years experience) "I went to X Bootcamp, which is like 10 years real world experience!" I can't imagine that was something he made up in his own brain. Most often, I'd talk to candidates who were being told to apply to senior and principal roles because they were told that their bootcamp experience qualified them for that (and it didn't hurt that, you know, the bootcamp stood to make more $$$ from their ISA if they happened to land a higher paying gig).

I think A LOT of that has trailed off as I haven't run up against that in probably 3-4 years as some of the crappier ones have folded (though some of what I shared above came from ones that still going strong...). But, man for a while from like 2013-2015, it was a huge issue to the point where I'd recommending passing on nearly every bootcamp grad unless we knew the bootcamp's graduates from other means.
Interesting web app idea: Match the business people with the (other kind of?) talent
Okay, but I don't think anyone of us are part of the information sector that's commoditizing food production. OP said we are unaware of agriculture, and I mostly agree unless you're in an agrarian area or country, you simply won't learn about these things.

Additionally what you're talking about sounds more like actions prompted by business 'leaders' and not IT staff making databases.

The nuclear power + desalination plant combo seems like a no-brainer to me in particular. Even if it meant sticking them in Oregon or Washington (for reduced seismic risk) and piping the fresh water down to Cali.
"be nice if they needed _less_ water though"

Fortunately, they do. Higher atmospheric CO2 levels mean that plants can obtain the CO2 they need more easily, with the stomata in their leaves not having to open as much. Consequently, they loose less water through the stomata, and are more drought resistant.

Of course, this only helps to a certain extent. A bad enough drought will still be very bad. And a very bad drought is bound to happen sooner or later, just from natural variability. So a robust food supply system, incorporating both a degree of local self-sufficiency in inputs, and global trade (for when crops fail in one location) is essential.

Personally, what i find aggravating is the insistence of many that consumption is the answer. Electric vehicles and their associated manufacturing inputs combined with power grid upgrades will be the solution.

No.

The solution is to work together as a tribe, not as individuals. Instead of personal electric vehicles, we should be electrifying logistics and improving public transit.

Sadly, those who will pay the price are those least able to do anything to fix the situation.
The X1E Gen 2 was a nice compromise between a business and a gaming laptop. For the first 2 years it ran Windows anyways, now it is dual boot. With some exceptions, mostly older games, it runs my complete Steam library just fine. And for those rare occasions it doesn't, I can still boot it in Windows.

Linux, well Ubuntu, is refreshing to use. First time I tried Linux, and it feels a lot more like an OS should feel. Not crap or bloat ware, no calling home, no cloud account.

The machine does get hot sometimes, getting some more air under it mitigates this all the time, the X1 doesn't have a lot of space under it.

>OTOH, it shows that electromagnetic fields, even static (DC) ones, can have significant biological impacts. Was this already known or is that a new discovery that could have impact beyond protecting crabs?

There have been concerns about high voltage power lines for as long as I can remember. There's been NIMBY activism regarding them for awhile. So I guess it depends on what you mean by "a new discovery". The problem is that the people complaining about the EMFs from power lines get lumped together with people saying cell phones are mutating human DNA.
My experience is different; college has not helped me in making lifelong friends nor develop my learning, maybe it was due to immaturity, rivalry, and jealousy among us.
Yes, rivalry for grades and girls, but when I worked as an intern, the diverse colleagues who were older than I was, offered me incredible opportunities to discuss everything. We would go, in (Cold war –Damascus 1987) cultural centres (German Goethe-Institut, American and French) free movies, books and magazines in addition to lectures and open discussion. I was stunned at the variety of American magazines, showcased in the US cultural centre and free to read. The French cultural centre offered free movies, the latest in a very comfortable luxury seats. A discussion of the movies follows in the by the center’s director and we would compete discussing opposing views on many issues in French.

Why do so many people choose to live in a desert? It makes very little economic sense. Feels like it will be destined for failure no matter what silicon valley tries to pay its grunts.

Any expectation of having enough water for such a low price is laughably absurd. The population of this state is literally asking for these conditions - they are choosing to live there.
Workers and companies will move toward the money. That's a constant. Here's the fallacy: we have only ourselves to blame. We are the voters in these republics.

> Meanwhile, they continue to push nonsense to help. The amount of water used by residences doing "outdoor watering" is miniscule. Agriculture is over 80% of the water use in california. If they were going to completely run out of water in a week, and all outdoor watering by residences would stop, it would buy you less than a day.

This is definitely true and something I try to point out to people all the time. The California Water Plan limits residential usage to 10% and it has never utilized more than its allocation (usually closer to 1/4-1/3 of that). So, if every person in every residence and every municipal service were to turn their water usage off for the entire year, it would lower the entire load by about 3-5%.

Meanwhile Ag, industrial and commercial services (water bottling and its ilk) continue to surpass their allocation and continually diminish aquifers and reservoirs, year over year. The whole "Save water, we're in a drought" rhetoric is (generally) a political move from those industries to deflect blame, guilt and responsibility on the populace.

This may not be true for every state, but it most assuredly is the case for California.
I’ve got basically the identical back story. High school dropout, ADHD/ASD, can’t handle structured learning.. but I sure as hell liked staying up all night playing with code, exploring the depths of the internet and every single aspect of how it all works from hardware to software.

Did freelance stuff for a few years making websites for local businesses, graphic design for nearby restaurants and retail stores, fixing computers from my share-house bedroom, etc. Ultimately got some pretty dead-end tech support jobs in telcos and SMEs which taught me workplace etiquette and how to deal with clients/stakeholders. Then did some 3-6mth contracts with some pretty big companies from there, including government. One of those had a manager who understood ASD and took my under his wing, and I got a full time 6 figure role there founding an internal web team (taking over the main website and intranet from an outsourced company, building/deploying whatever web apps departments needed). Workplace training programs moved me up from there to a variety of roles and into security then management.

Still never finished high school or any tertiary education, I like to say I fell my way upwards. I have no idea what I’m doing professionally, I just like playing with computers.

The reason that we have those numbers is because we have carefully accounted for practically all of the recoverable freshwater in California.

No. Again: the diagnostic criteria are not this simple, and it's a strawman to argue against something that isn't happening. Diagnosis requires disruption across multiple areas of one's life—not just an inability to be successful at the highest competitive levels in a specific skill.

Your initial description was very vague. Saying that you have 5 years of Python might be technically correct but in reality your last developer job ended over 4 years ago and now you're doing completely unrelated stuff. When people look at your resume, they'll see a salesperson at Home Depot who hasn't programmed in years. You'll need a good story about why you moved away from development - that's the part that will really stand out as a red flag.

You're essentially trying to break into the industry (again) which can be quite difficult. You might be carrying some experience but you also have some baggage to account for.
Another way to think of it is the EU is promoting competition.
