Or you could just use the libsixel package. Downloading libraries isn't unknown to developers (thinking about `apt-get install libncurses5-dev libsixel-dev` or the like.) Or sysadmins: `apt-get install libncurses5` or `apt-get install libsixel`.
Or the "complainers" work with Rust and Elixir and giggle at Python's last-century dependency-management woes, while they run a command or two and can upgrade and/or pin their dependencies and put that in version control and have builds identical [to those on their dev machines] in their CI/CD environment.

Your comment hints that you are feeling personally attacked when Python is criticized. Friendly unsolicited advice: don't do that, it's not healthy for you.

Python is a relic. Its popularity and integration with super-strong C/C++ libraries has been carrying it for at least the last 5 years, if not 10. There's no mystery: it's a network effect. Quality is irrelevant when something is popular.

And yes I used Python. Hated it every time. I guess I have to thank Python for learning bash scripting well. I still ended up wasting less time.

You're not the first person I've heard this from; when you say "many are now posting lists of open contracts you can bid on" where are they posting these things? https://sam.gov/content/home is what my cursory Googling found, is this what you mean, or is there some other, more relevant site involved?

Microsoft is one of the largest consumers of Azure services. I don't think it's fair to say they are divorced from the users of their services.
> On the other hand, it does not provide means to describe semantics of the resource properties

Yup, wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of standardized framework to describe those resources? You could perhaps call it a Resource Description Framework, or RDF if you like acronyms.
Just remember that there are thousands of authors who are only paid because the publishing company is able to charge for books. The same goes for software firms that also depend upon copyright. So if you're a programmer, ask your boss if he or she would be willing to put all of your work into the public domain.
I agree and not going to argue that here. But that’s the way the rules are right now, and publishers have the full weight of the law to enforce their rights as that’s what the current state of things allows.
Hi, if it's not too much to ask, could you please post some direct links for the open contracts for small businesses? I am merely curious but others might find those more useful.
You are exactly correct.

It's building a chain of trust. If any link in that chain is compromised then you have a security hole.

It's not perfect, much like locking your house only goes so far when someone can cut a hole in your wall and walk in.
You're going there? It has less to do with them than me having to take the time to address an issue that should never have existed in the first place.
Distributions are mostly patching software for (not specific for Rustc):

* Paths - distro don't need to keep path detection and can simplify it (ex: headers detections)

* Archs that upstream don't care about (ex: m86k).

* Kernel that upstream don't care about (kfreebsd)

* Some old CPU support. example:
https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/rust/-/blob/debian/sid/de...

* simplification of the build system (ex: skipping windows support)

* Use libraries provided by the system (ex: compiler-rt for rustc: https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/rust/-/blob/debian/sid/de...). This could be forwarded upstream.

* Some minor doc changes - for example, https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/rust/-/blob/debian/sid/de... will use the local css file and not a remote css file (for offline support)

* Cherry-pick upstream fixes before the next upstream release:
https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/rust/-/blob/debian/sid/de...

* etc

As you can see, these patches do not impact the quality of Rustc itself. Some could be forwarded upstream (it is a pain for packagers to maintain patches - so, we do have strong incentives to contribute upstream).
Anthropologists Call for an End to Classifying Human Remains by Gender
@number6 is right. There are all kinds of problems when you use HTTP status codes to represent something that was correct for HTTP but failed business logic. You don't want a tonne of errors logged because someone has violated business logic but otherwise called the API correctly otherwise good luck finding actual errors where you screwed up by deleting an endpoint (actual 404) or where you changed the request model (400) etc.

I'm sure people might disagree with that approach but it is very common and very reasonable.
If something has gone horribly wrong with the pregnancy it doesn't make sense to force the woman to continue with it, yet that's exactly what the laws are doing. It's barbaric and inhumane. These blanket bans on late term abortions make very little sense when you actually think them through. It's legally enforced cruelty that helps nobody.
>if they are a library/archive, if their actions can be considered part of the copyright exceptions.

Libraries/archives actually have fairly limited exceptions. And the category isn't even especially clearly defined. It's definitely not an anything goes get out of jail free card.
Por que no los dos? You can build a "real" restful API by returning HTML or JSON based on the request's suffix or HTTP-Accept value. Hit it with a web browser and get a nice "home page" that says, "This is my very cool API. Here are links to various endpoints. Make your requests with 'Accept: application/json' header, or end the request path in '.json' to get a JSON response". Delightfully discoverable and self-documenting.
Am I the only one who finds that type of phrasing distasteful?

I'm sure he didn't build any of those alone, and as a "leader" and a product person he probably didn't do much of the "building".

Seems like he was mostly in an advisory role for Drupal, Docker and MongoDB, he didn't exactly build them.

> and even modern languages like rust (stuff is always broken, or I have some incompatible version, even when it builds it doesn't work)

Been working on and off with Rust for the last 3 years, never happened to me once -- with the exception of the Tokio async runtime that has breaking changes between versions. Everything else always worked on the first try (checked with tests, too).

Comparing Python with C++ doesn't make do argument any favours, and neither does stretching a single Rust accident to mean the ecosystem is bad.

I’ve had ideas on making a Reddit like RSS reader. Every user would have their own feed list that others can see by clicking on that user and add to their own.

The main feed would be ranked by most followed sites in an HN like layout with comments. And of course there would be another section for personal feed.

I just don’t know how much server fees would cost, a lot of feeds don’t have pubDates, polling or archive retrieval are expensive. I thought about making a fat client setup so the users machine does that work, whatever it takes to make something clean and simple without an ugly premium package with 100 things no one wants.
> It took an issue that was gradually being moderated naturally, and then suddenly forcibly swung hardcore in one direction.

Justice Roberts made a similar point in his dissent in Obergefell.
Lots of companies are comfortable programming a single caller ID for many phone lines in a call center. It's a legitimate business need. Trouble is the caller-ID is not validated for each and every call. If the target phone could contact the claimed originator, and silently ask "did you sent/initiate this message/call <token> <target number>" then phones (subject to preferences) could /dev/null incoming and not at all interrupt the owner. While SMS could be the protocol for that, they are not free for everyone, and landline users can't participate with today's handsets. The other problem is the world's hundreds of call center technologies would need to be upgraded - circling back to money. Each time the FTC brings this up the telecos say they agree it is important yet do nothing. Google and Apple could lead the charge with that silent use of SMS (subject to handset preferences). They could take it out of the hands of the telecos, and make them play catch up.

I recently read a tweet along the lines of “Azure’s interfaces are designed for an accountant, not an engineer”, and it explains it.

Azure sucks. The terrible UX is just the tip of the iceberg. Things often just… don’t work. And good luck getting someone to talk to about it. The security at Azure is a total shitshow too, don’t forget.

I'm not convinced they can't admit those consequences. Didn't their governor literally say grandma should sacrifice herself for the economy during the early pandemic?

Grandmas literally died during the Texas grid failure but Fox News blamed it on "wind turbines" so I don't see the electorate caring enough to oust their otherwise popular political personalities.

The laws are not even vague, it's outright illegal. These people are pushing to make abortion in the case of ectopic pregnancy illegal, and in at least one case have succeeded.
Comparing anything to C++ is a very low bar.

I have rarely encountered issues in rust. Most rust crates stick to semver so you know when there will be a breaking change. My rust experience with Cargo can only be described as problem free(though I only develop for x86 linux).

As for pip freeze and virtualenv things start to fall apart especially quickly when you require various C/C++ dependencies (which in various parts of the ecosystem is a lot) as well as different python versions (if you are supporting any kind of legacy software). This is also assuming other people working on the same project have the same python yadda yadda the list goes on, its not great.
> Pretty sure you can use == in requirements.txt

You can, but one of those packages that you depend on will have a loose version spec for one of its dependencies, making your `pip install -r requirements.txt` non-deterministic.

Poetry and Pipenv solve this, though, by pinning all dependencies in a lock file.
> Computer monitors are not all 60hz, and I cited anime as one example; TV and movies also have jerky playback.

The ones that are 60hz are 60hz, and that's not the reason monitors aren't TVs. They aren't TVs because they don't have one of 1. black frame insertion 2. 60->120fps motion interpolation, so you have persistence of vision issues. (aka motion blur, jerkiness, or both at once)

Movies are also 24fps, though of course they're different from animation because they have built in motion blur (same as if you recorded with 1/24 exposure time vs 1/1000).

mpv's video retiming works some of the time, but means it changes the pitch of audio which is sometimes unacceptable, same as old NTSC->PAL transfers.

…if your monitor has variable refresh rate why are you using retiming?
I as a client care about 400s because that means I fucked up.

As a server I don't care about 400s because (within constraints) I don't care if my clients have fucked up.

Ad a server I care about 500s as that means I've fucked up. As a client I care about 500s only so much as to know if I should give the server a break and try somewhere else.

There is rich, important semantic meaning in the status codes.
I'm from Cleveland, which is similar in its industrial history with race, but obviously different in other ways. My knowledge of Flint comes from books.
With that out of the way, my experience doesn't jibe with the idea that racists aren't also going to be racist and xenophobic towards African (or Caribbean) immigrants, no matter how educated and hardworking "the good ones" are.

Housing discrimination didn't start with the FHA. It didn't even start with the New Deal-era Home Owners Loan Act. Those laws merely encoded the racial policies that created the segregation already in place. Sorry if I'm arguing a different point that what you're making here. I don't see how any of what you said comes from "class etc." when the reason why they were poor and separated from communities of support is because of race.

Local context matters, but I've lived in a few big cities and I think it's pretty tall order to show that your local racists are significantly different than the Median National Racist.
I agree with you that Go does not replace C or C++, but I strongly disagree that Go is an obvious replacement for most uses of Python, C#, Java or Ruby, all of which are, frankly, _much_ higher level languages than Go.

Go gets used for two main reasons that I've been able to observe:

1) a desire for a very specific type of concurrency
2) a desire for a fast compiled language with a minimalistic feature set that scales well to large teams.

Switching to Go from one of those languages is very much giving up a kitchen sink for a purpose-built tool. It may be the right decision under lots of different circumstances, but it doesn't directly compete with any of the languages you've mentioned because of how minimalistic it tries to be.

Overall, in fact, I think Go does something far more interesting: it's legitimately an attempt to carve out a whole separate niche for software development. Whether it's ultimately been successful there is for a different comment thread, though. :)
> Kindle unlimited is a pretty similar to a library and many publishers support it and include their books. Yes, it costs something per month, but it's much less than the overhead costs for librarians, heat and a building.

How much do you think you personally pay for libraries? 1 cent a year? Half a cent a year?

And it's not "many publishers support <a proprietary thing>", it's "libraries are obliged to have all books, and in many countries publishers are made by law to provide libraries with copies of their books".

> But it's important to note that copyright holders are coming up with many new and innovative ways to help readers get books and authors get paid.

None of those ways are innovative.
Thank you for your perspective. I'm sorry to hear about the abrupt change. A change like yours was somewhat what I was vaguely getting at with the suggestion that things might change in the future (who can know for certain). Having "few" male friends is a risk factor (but not the problem itself), whereas the problem itself is the loneliness. I had a relationship fall apart in my early 20s after I'd moved across the U.S. for college. It wasn't marriage, but I had left all of my old friends 2 thousand miles away, and didn't establish new male friends. When the relationship fell apart, I was very very lonely. One would have thought that I would have learned a lesson to ensure that I maintain male friendships; not because I need them necessarily to avoid being lonely (because I'm not lonely, as indicated in my first post), but because it's a risk factor mitigation with no real downside.

A follow up to some of the other comments: (a) Regarding moving out of country: Hopefully that's not a serious suggestion. That's simply not possible for a lot of people, nor is it desirable for many, and cross-cultural relationships (while very enriching and rewarding) bring their own challenges to the table (source: my marriage is multi-ethnic/cultural one), let alone cross-national, which has its own geo-political challenges. (b) Regarding moving out of country to find an appreciative woman/partner -- that's also missing the point; the point is not about a romantic relationship - the point is about loneliness. A romantic relationship is wonderful, and for some it can fully address any feelings of loneliness, but not for all. For those of us whose social needs are fully met by our romantic relationships - great for us! But we're at risk of loneliness should they evaporate. (c) Regarding a Therapist - yes, that can certainly help a relationship ending (any many other things), and I too recommend seeing one if you can, but it's also missing the point of the original post, as it's no substitution for actual friendship.

You need the correct property zoning to operate a business from your basement.

Your house is very likely in a residential zone, which limits it to residential use only (some exceptions apply, allowing home office scenarios for people who live there, but limits employees from travelling to your house for work).

Why do these rules exist? Well, to regulate industrial expansion, limit noise, traffic and road congestion (parking) in residential areas.

YMMV

Netflix doesn't have a "purchase" button under every movie/series.

Buying games like Minecraft has always been marketed and communicated as a purchase, just like you'd permanently buy a physical product. Now publishers are slowly attempting to effectively steal or lock away those products after we paid for them. Those two things in combination are not okay, publishers should either be honest or keep their word.

Exactly. If it even ran at all.
I think most people basically understand that part though. It's not like no one has noticed the bans and restrictions in red states.

The much stranger thing that's happening is Europeans protesting in the streets against a ruling in America that declared a 16-week abortion ban legal-- when their own country has a 12-week abortion ban!

It seems that many people both inside and outside America are missing the fact that the laws of most European countries would have been declared illegal under Roe for being too restrictive.
Startup Beats Musk's Neuralink to Human Trials
Walter Cronkite came closer to "the truth" than modern "journalism" does. He wasn't perfect, he had his own narrative, but he believed in objectivity, and he tried to reach it. He may have failed, but by trying, he came closer to reaching it than the current generation.

There was a managing editor of the New York Times. He knew that his reporters leaned somewhat left, so he steered the editorial slant of the paper somewhat right to balance. They literally put "He kept the paper straight" on his tombstone. Today the Times comes rather short of that standard.
> What distributed database would let you own your identity

Owning a private key file when signing transactions allows to prove your identity to other parties. That is, what a blockchain uses to map identities to accounts/wallets, too.

Having a consensus protocol does not provide identity proving, but the eponymous censensus is based on a share of either state or computational power.

And state is just a database. State that decides what goes into the database is a recursion, voila an example would be Proof of Stake.
Or as censensus protocols go, other names exist for the concept of proof of previously-done-arbitrary-things, which allowed you to mention a share with you cryptographic signature (i.e. hash derived from your private key) in the append-only database. Cases like a "plant a tree" eco-coins.

Also, to see the bigger picture on

> What distributed database would let you own your identity:

from a technically more complex angle: Tim Berners-Lee proposes a DRM system for users to own their content, instead of using this technology against user liberties. That would include owning your identity and enforcing your will on you intellectual property. I found these plans not feasible, yet, but at least people who know about cryptography still research the topics of user rights and P2P networking.
Their circa ~1995 3D Movie Maker was pretty cool, though.

I paid for my Minecraft account a long time ago, over a decade, and I've generally felt like it was money well spent. I've got a lot of hours of enjoyment out of Minecraft and I was glad to support the developer. The fact this purchase was honored for so long across changes in ownership and account migrations also made me feel good about the purchase. Now though, I'm not feeling like having a paid account is a good value. It's just subjecting me to ever more levels of control by Microsoft that pirates don't have to put up with.
