> if you try to force contributors to reproduce exactly your local setup, you will be left with no contributors. ...

That's not been my experience. To the contrary, having a requirements.txt means your contributors are more likely to have a working environment, as when your package depends on package X but the contributor has a 5-year-old buggy version of X, doesn't realize it, and it causes your program to do the wrong thing.

In any case, your argument only makes sense if no one on the project uses black or other code formatter. Even if you alone use it, odds are good that most of your collaborator's commits will need to be reformatted.

> .. an extra step taking 5 extra minutes ...

How do black reformatting changes cause an extra 5 minutes? What Python code base with only a couple of contributors and no need for a requirements.txt takes 5+ minutes to byte-compile and package the Python code, and why?

Adding 5 minutes to you build means your bisections are taking at least an hour, so it seems like focusing on black changes is the wrong place to look.
Ouch, I have a similar anecdote where they signed me up for a completely incorrect account when I was young. Some 100k minimum trading account when I was a broke 19 years old looking for the simplest type of bank account possible that I could access from hometown and college. Saw $15 monthly charges, went in, found out the problem, took my money and business elsewhere and haven't looked back.
The problem is that I find it really hard to read. The contrast is too large for the eyes. Some background color and lighting makes reading more comfortable. Perfect black is good for video though
Yes, but it's efficiency scales with the overall brightness of the display. True OLED black will always consume the same amount of power, regardless of brightness.
I think "porch pirate" is just a subset of thief. It's not a lesser crime, just one that's just more specific.

I agree that "pirate" isn't an appropriate word in this case (though "porch pirate" is very specific and brief, at least), but I would say that we have a tendency in our culture (perhaps all cultures) to bend words in any direction based on our biases, whether that means making them softer or harsher.
Fauci changing the definition of "gain of function" research after it was banned so he could claim he wasn't funding it, when he clearly was under the old definition from the previous year is probably the most blatant recent use of this tactic.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rand-paul-anthony-fauci-sen...

"Up until recently, the NIH website had a section that discussed gain of function research, providing a broad definition of 'a type of research that modifies a biological agent so that it confers new or enhanced activity to that agent.'

On Oct. 20, the NIH removed that section from its website, replacing it with one that discusses 'enhanced potential pandemic pathogen' research, which it defined as 'research that may be reasonably anticipated to create, transfer or use potential pandemic pathogens resulting from the enhancement of a pathogen’s transmissibility and/or virulence in humans.'"

The research funded was forbidden under the old definition, and so they just changed the definition after they did the research.

>The standard PC floppy drive (if you can still find one of those) is technically incapable of reading Amiga disks because the method to encode bits is different, and the PC floppy drive does the decoding in hardware before the software gets access to it.

This is accurate except it's not the drive, but the controller (in the PC's motherboard).

Most of these drives can be directly used with an Amiga, while all of them can be used with a GreaseWeazle

>Third-party floppy drives with the raw data access such as greaseweazle can access Amiga floppy disks.

Searching the map for your target given only incomplete information is much faster. It also scopes the map to your screen size, paper does not do this, you save time finding the right resolution.

It sounds like the real problem you are experiencing is that you stopped checking your route. If you treat it like a paper map on crack then it’s a great tool. And, to be fair, it does sound like you run into more frustrating ‘wtf!’ problems than others.

Docker. Shipping every single script along with all dependencies saved me from hundreds of hours of fixing stuff after updates.

FWIW, I wrote isort, but am seriously considering migrating my projects to use Ruff. Long term I think the design is just better over the variety of tools we use within the Python ecosystem today. The fact we have a plethora of projects that are meant to run per a commit with each one reparsing the AST independently, and often using a different approach to do so, just feels untenable long term to me.
To be fair, in the article, the venue management claims to have told the law firms involved about the ban well ahead of time:

“All impacted attorneys were notified of the policy, including Davis, Saperstein and Salomon, which was notified twice," a spokesperson for MSG Entertainment said in a statement.

Whether or not that notice was in fact adequate, it seems like they’re at least sensitive to giving the impression that they communicated the ban very clearly ahead of time.
I don't see how that would be redundant though, wouldn't it be just as likely to fail for the same reason the other line does?

> Nobody is proposing banning blockchains. Cryptocurrency, however, is clearly more than just software

The block reward is the incentive for miners/stakers to operate a decentralized network. It is not a separate concept. The actual value of each reward is emergent. It is the result of resources being used to operate the network, and how we value that network. If we don't value the network enough, the value of the block reward will drop below the resources required to maintain it. I don't see why any external party should dictate how we may value that block reward or network.

What is the general sense being expressed to them currently? It's there any effort made to see how the average person in their district feels about the issue? What about those who have an opinion?

That's what representation means. It isn't intended to end when ballots are counted.

People can contact their representatives. Each representative has a paid staff to accommodate the scale of that communication.

If you can show that the average consistuent in a district has a shared opinion, and that opinion is being overruled by their representative, then you have illustrated the failure of representation.

If you can show a pattern where the opinions of a minority group are being chosen over an opinionated majority, then you have illustrated the corruption of that representative.

Left to their own devices, wild mammals have to cross significant human barriers (roads, neighborhoods, fencing, etc.) to repopulate certain natural areas which they have been exterminated from.

Where I live in Southern Arizona, re-population efforts for bighorn sheep have been successful in the mountain ranges near cities (Tucson). Access to these ranges from nearby "naturally" populated areas (50+ mile distances) requires crossing the interstate, fenced in train tracks, ranches, and extensive urban development. Since their extermination from certain areas, this has not happened naturally (and is arguably not possible). I think similar arguments could be made for the Mexican Wolf population in the southwest.

I agree in principle that ecosystems will re-equilibrate on their own, but given the current state of human development certain areas would remain off-limits for various animals without human intervention, maybe leading to certain species or subspecies becoming extinct. I'm no wildlife biologist but would defer to one on this topic.
> it can be used against them, too

Is it facial recognition that's the problem here, or the policy itself? In theory, they could hand out pictures of everybody who wasn't allowed in to the security staff and use low-tech facial recognition to enforce the same policy - assuming it was scalable, would it be OK then? I remember reading that IBM got into trouble when it first computerized its personnel files because some exec noticed that the computer could scan through all the personnel files and fire people who were close to retirement to save on paying out their pensions. It would have been prohibitively expensive to pay a person to do that, but with the computer, it was a quick SQL query (or whatever query language IBM used back then). The problem wasn't that the personnel files were computerized, it was that they were being used in a very evil way.
Art? Yes, you can get it to draw something in style of, but it won't be able to create new style.

I don't think that's true. Because DALL-E knows how to create art in various styles, it implicitly knows what are the parameters which separate one style from another -- for example, thickness or shape of brush strokes, degree of realism vs. surrealism, typical subject matter, etc.. I imagine if you asked some variant of DALL-E to create a new style, it could arbitrarily alter the parameters that define "style" and come up with something new, and even alter them in a way such that the new style could reasonably be expected to be pleasing/well-received.

Adjustable wrenches exist for situations where you don't have the proper size on hand. They are not intended to be used for everything. But when you need one, few other tools will suffice.

A lot of people don't know that there is a correct direction to turn these wrenches (and Channel Locks, and pipe wrenches). Older Crescent models had an arrow engraved on the handle to show this. You turn the wrench with the smaller jaw leading into the turn. This helps prevent slipping by putting pressure on the mechanism, which makes it harder for the adjusting screw to move.

Another issue is that it doesn’t expose a server.js file, so its hard to do stuff like integrate an APM.

More than a dozen replies join a chorus of agreement here.

I wonder if there’s another framing for this. One of the top educational institutions in the world is formalising a communications approach that doesn’t casually evoke, reference, and cause suffering. This dynamic might only be present in a small percentage of their audience—in fact it affects quite a significant majority—but in either case it’s a win worth pursuing on the scale of their operations.

The antidote to the fear and hysteria of change is transparency — and what a marvellous gesture of transparency here, from Stanford. (Remember the Byzantine episode from ICLR?)

> block reward is the incentive for miners/stakers to operate a decentralized network. It is not a separate concept

The moment that reward becomes a currency, and is traded for U.S. dollars, it leaves the domain of just being software. Banning that is quite different from banning the software per se.

Comparing Bitcoin to free software seems similarly disingenuous.
