This writeup needs work.

> So while you could install everything into the same directory as your own code (which you did, and thus didn't use src directory layouts for simplicity), there wasn't a way to install different wheels for each Python interpreter you had on your machine so you could have multiple environments per project (I'm glossing over the fact that back in my the day you also didn't have wheels or editable installs).

This is a single run-on sentence. Someone reading this, probably doesn't know what "wheels" means. If you are going to discount it anyway, why bring it up?

> Enter virtual environments. Suddenly you had a way to install projects as a group that was tied to a specific Python interpreter

I thought we were talking about dependencies? So is it just the interpreter or both or is there a typo?

> conda environments

I have no idea what those are. Do I care? Since the author is making a subtle distinction, reading about them might get me confused, so I've encountered another thing to skip over.

> As a running example, I'm going to assume you ran the command py -m venv --without-pip .venv in some directory on a Unix-based OS (you can substitute py with whatever Python interpreter you want

Wat? I don't know what venvs are. Can you maybe expand without throwing multi-arg commands at me? Maybe add this as a reference note, rather than inlining it into the information. Another thing to skip over.

> For simplicity I'm going to focus on the Unix case and not cover Windows in depth.

Don't cover Windows at all. Make a promise to maintain a separate doc in the future and get this one right first.

> (i.e. within .venv):

This is where you start. A virtual environment is a directory, with a purpose, which is baked into the ecosystem. Layout the purpose. Map the structure to those purposes. Dive into exceptional cases. Talk about how to create it and use it in a project. Talk about integrations and how these help speed up development.

I also skipped the plug for the mircoenv project, at the end with a reference to VSCode.
Many need SVB, we (ScyllaDB) received a great service from them in the past. Later on we just used them as one of our banks, obviously, going forward, we're diversifying our services.

The problem for startups is that debt provider who are also a bank require to move most of the business to that provider. It's not the case other types of debt providers.
w.r.t debt - everybody use this mechanism, doesn't matter if you're small or big.
> What is the AQVOX formatting:
Using a special process, which has incorporated our 30 years of experience in the optimization of audiophile audio components, the material receives a special formatting information. The formatted material brings about that electromagnetic frequencies are harmonized and electromagnetic pollution (electro smog) is minimized

This shouts to me to be a direct con, someone deliberately taking advantage of the brainwashed. Like psychics and cancer-curing-crystal sellers¹. They are basically one step up from the fraudsters calling to try get access to our elderly (grand)parent's savings².

----

[1] though in defense of those ripping off audiophiles, at least they are not taking advantage of the desperate.

[2] the psychics & such are not one step up, at least not a full one.
I mean if you can get away with it for over a year then you probably came out ahead
No. They really are like that!
So if they employ 10k kids they get the y can turn a profit despite the fine?
The concern isn't that these children will be raped or that pedophiles will rape them. It's much more subtle: these are children who are taught from a young age to be exploited. They are taught not to have boundaries with strangers, to tie self-worth and sense of self to external validation, and to squash down their own feelings of discomfort or even danger in order to placate authority figures around them. These are all things that they will have to spend a lot of resources and time unlearning to grow into healthy adulthood, hampered by the fact that videos of their exploitation will be continually on the internet for everyone to see for the rest of their lives.
The borrow checker acts as a subtle low-pass filter, rolling off some of the high end and leading to less clarity.

I clicked on "The Solution" and saw this:

We considered using:

A SQL DB

A SQL DB with a JSON Column Type

A Document Store like Mongo

All fell short.

I thought that was uninformative. After leaving your site, I thought "maybe I could have clicked the items for more information". Sure enough, there was more information. However, I was then given items like "Create a 'brand' table". Is that a problem?

Moreover, why would someone solve these problems using your product rather than an existing, known, and trusted NoSQL alternative? Are you giving the owner of a business a good enough reason to give you their money?
> No. It was to destroy the Soviet Union. And it mostly worked!

It was to defend western Europe against Soviet expansion. NATO has never attacked Russia, and the economic downfall was of their own doing. The scars of Soviet rule are still present in eastern Europe, even in eastern Germany.

> Ukrainian soldiers are hauling ass out of the country and being conscripted into the war (just the other day a young man committed suicide rather than go to war)

And others are returning to Ukraine from abroad. And are you suggesting that the US is forcing the conscription?

> How do you stop the "invaders" from coming back again then?

Not sure what the purpose of those scare quotes are, do you not agree Russia has invaded Ukraine? You stop future invasions with security guarantees from other countries, and using sanctions to make war cost more than it's worth.

> I don't agree that Russia is a maniac country just doing crazy attacks willy-nilly.

I never said they are, just that their reasons are wrong and should be opposed. Although a lot of their attacks lacks precision and are purposefully "erratic", killing civilians as part of their terror strategy.

> And there is no innocent country on Earth.

Does this mean that every country on the planet deserves to have their schools and hospitals bombed, or their territory occupied by rapists and murderers? There's a big difference between being faultless in all circumstances and being invaded by a cruel army firing thousands of artillery shells each day.

> First, displaying that if NATO moves military bases close to them it is going to cost.

NATO have no military bases in Ukraine, nor do they have any plans for any. As a direct result of this war Sweden and Finland have applied for NATO membership, giving Russia 1340 km extra border with NATO. According to Putin, this isn't an issue, and Russia has even moved a lot of their military units close to Finland to Ukraine instead.

> Second, they are trying desperately to retain influence in that area that they used to have back when they were the 2nd super power on Earth, but have since been passed by China.

Yes, it's the imperialistic failings of a dead super power that can't accept that the world has moved on.
I have been considering this idea for some time now. Local food networks which flip the paradigm from "on-demand" to strictly in advance. Right now, if I want to order food from a restaurant, I can only do this "on-demand". If you want to join this on-demand food preparation world as a chef, maybe start with a food truck. However, operating "on-demand" is difficult. Why not only in advance? (of course, on-demand food will always be here to stay...)

In advance enables batch orders, predictable quantities of ingredients & labor, no need for insane packaging and ice, etc. These "meal-kit" services do this, but as many other comments say... you still need to do your own prep and cook it.

Some people are already doing this model (i.e. there's a couple in my city offering a bulk meal paid for and prepared once a week), but they built it their self from the ground up. Can we not build a network to enable this? The door would then be opened to an individual chef to contribute to providing people with food. Existing restaurants could of course offer their best seller or most easily prepared bulk meal. Yes, as you say: nearly impossible to build. There are many obstacles. But the benefits are numerous.

Sounds like you've thought about this a bit already? Mind if I pick your brain?
No you're correct, I misread. I thought the parent comment was saying 90% ignore red lights.
> One point I would like to make is how virtual environments are designed to be disposable and not relocatable.

Is the author saying that relocating them will actually break things, or that it's just as easy to recreate them in a different location? Because I've moved my venv directories and everything still seemed to work OK. Did I just get lucky?
I'd say testing/CI is one of the best cases for renting dedicated metal because of the huge speed increase available, everyone hates slow CI, and CI workers are easy to setup so if hw fails (it probably won't) it's not a big deal, you don't need to scale up again immediately.
"But Apple’s famed industrial design team had cautioned patience, wanting to delay until a more lightweight version of AR glasses became technically feasible. Most in the tech industry expect that to take several more years. "

"Just a few years ago, going against the wishes of Apple’s all-powerful design team would have been unthinkable. But since the departure of its longtime leader Jony Ive in 2019, Apple’s structure has been reshuffled, with design now reporting to Williams. "

"Ive’s former role as chief design officer was split in two, with Evans Hankey on hardware and Alan Dye on software. However, Hankey announced last October that she would be leaving within six months, contributing to significant staff turnover in the division over recent years."

"Apple’s 12-person executive team reflects how the company’s focus has shifted under Cook, himself a former operations chief."

Wow, sounds like the 80's storyline is repeating itself. The greedy business guys took over again, drove out the best creators, and are now driving off a cliff 200km/h.
Ask HN: What do you use for cloud runbook automation?
We are in need of some automated runbook type technology that we can hook to various health signals to take repair and remediation actions on various resources. Mostly k8s actions, but imagine anything that can run in a container and do something. Would prefer to self-host in k8s, but open to a cloud solution as well if it has good controls.
since the title includes the 2013 date, might very well have been the same one
Apple Music has been a thing long before Spotify has been around.

I remember buying an iPod shuffle back in the day and having to install iTunes. It's been a thing on iPhones forever. Yet Spotify is still here.

How long ago did MS try to copy that approach with the Zune?
I've seen people claiming that for VHS when it comes to video.

I kid you not.
Reminds me of the invention of Fisher's exact test:

>The example is loosely based on an event in Fisher's life. The lady in question, Muriel Bristol, claimed to be able to tell whether the tea or the milk was added first to a cup. Her future husband, William Roach, suggested that Fisher give her eight cups, four of each variety, in random order. One could then ask what the probability was for her getting the specific number of cups she identified correct (in fact all eight), but just by chance.

If your memcpy did “screw up some bits” you would have much bigger problems running the app than poor sound quality.
Honest question: for someone who doesn’t live in a terminal, what does something like this do that a default terminal with OhMyZsh doesn’t do?
Most people don’t realize that making espresso is quite complex due to seemingly minute factors like these. When you’re pushing water through grounds at very high pressure, there are a lot of things that have to line up to get a great shot.

Presumably variable gross profit is the measure to refer to/compare against, rather than revenue.
I agree with your point, but generally when people say "like LEGO" they mean "modular". Not that you can build literally any shape the way you can with actual LEGO.
I bought at 54 this morning with the same thought, Ironically from my Schwab float account. Im wondering if I should also top up my FDIC checking account to add liquidity and back my stock play (as if these drops in the bucket matter).
A favorite of mine has been to say with a straight face that "it's important to make sure that there are no kinks in your cables, because the 0's pass through easily but the sharp edges of the 1's get caught on things" and seeing if anyone catches on.
All things being equal IQ could have some value however, bearing in mind I'm simplifying here, not all things are equal. IQ is designed to quantify intelligence, not reaction time. Don't just go by the comments here, even mine. Look into the history of IQ tests, for what purpose they were designed, and what they really test for.
to their credit, I actually did mean XR (extended reality), but alas.

VR/AR are fine. MR sounds weird in context even though it's broader (mixed reality).

There doesn't need to be a run, a bank will be closed by FDIC if it is insolvent.

And in SVB's case, a very small amount of withdrawals was enough to trigger insolvency. (As it forced the bank to sell, and thereby mark-to-market it's long-term treasuries.)
Personally I'd love to be able to just relax on longer road trips rather than driving. Taking the 2 hour trip back to my parent's neck of the woods is much less annoying if I don't have to drive it too.
But mass inflows of deposits are exactly how SVB got into the situation it's in now. You have to pay interest on the deposits. I'd much rather go to a truly "too big to fail" bank that can easily cover the deposit interest with a diverse line of business.
> "Goto also sounds better than anything else I have tried." - the "Goto" in the quote means a goto in C used to replace a loop.

It strikes me as plausible that there might be differences in how the compiler treats goto vs whatever other loop. Pretty sure GCC can't optimize goto in the same ways.
idk, I am with you and I don't typically care about sizes like this, but this does feel like quite a lot, although not as much as reported above. The split between the two rust programs here is pretty interesting.

Personally, I'd stay with a "boring" bank for at least one account. You can always open more than one account. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Brex sure, but they could be a flash in the pan. Have "boring" banks as a backup. I bank with Chase and a local FCU in addition to anything else.

Also, Brex isn't a bank. They make this very clear: https://www.brex.com/support/is-brex-cash-a-bank-account

You should read carefully for anything where you put your hard-earned money.

"Brex Cash is not a bank account; it is a cash management account offered by Brex Treasury (a FINRA-registered broker-dealer) that functions very much like a business bank account.

You can use your Brex Cash account to securely deposit checks (including via mobile app); send and receive payments via ACH, check, and wire—even internationally; and manage spend for your company’s different users.

Brex Cash also allows you to choose how your money is stored. You can elect to keep your deposits at a Brex partner bank, and if you do, you’ll be eligible for FDIC insurance up to $2,250,000 in total. The other option is to invest your deposits into a government money market mutual fund. You can also use any combination of these two options.

No matter how you choose to store your funds, your Brex account gives you unlimited corporate credit cards for secure, convenient spending. The cards are automatically paid daily like a debit card—while giving you cash back on every purchase and building your business credit.

Note: Unlike debit cards, Brex cards cannot be used to make cash deposits or ATM withdrawals."

Your FDIC insurance and exposure is entirely up to you at Brex.
This is because rust's borrow checker is incapable of representing some perfectly valid sounds.
Because in before times, when you used to want to start a business or expand a business, or buy a home, and needed a loan, you had to go convince a bank employee to make that loan to you.

In those cases, a relationship between bank employees and the local residents mattered to establish trust between both parties.

Nowadays, a lot of high quality databases can do a lot of the work figuring out a borrower’s credit, so there is less need for those personal interactions, especially for something as simple as home mortgages.
> But I cannot notice a major difference between the $100 system, and say a $100k system (or whatever audiophiles spend).

I more or less agree with this but the main problem is that people listen in untreated rooms with horrible acoustics.

Once you hit that "medium good" threshold, which is pretty easy these days, more expensive speakers aren't going to make a difference until you get your acoustics under control.

If you do have a nice room, you will definitely notice the difference between the medium good setup and a nicer one, although you will hit diminishing returns WAY before you reach the $100k speakers.
Treating the cable as a two-port network is oversimplifying the system by ignoring that audio cables often (undesirably) act as antennas.

Directional cables have the shield disconnected at one end to ensure there is no LF current path through the shield, thus minimizing mains hum picked up by high-impedance instruments.

Of course, balanced cables (where the shield is exactly a shield, and not also a signal path) do not have this problem.

Are we talking a 10-student honors calculus section that the prof. has taught a dozen of times before, or a 600-student anthropology survey course, where the prof. would also have to supervise the dozen newbie TA's who lead the discussion sections? Is the elementary class in addition to the prof's normal teaching load? What social & career-track signals might be implied by the prof. teaching an elementary class...or not teaching the course one might otherwise expect him to?
The thing you're laughing at is how you deal with coffee grinders that spit out clumpy coffee. If you don't break the clumps, the high pressure water from an espresso machine will distribute unevenly throughout the puck (choosing to go through the path of least resistance) and will be the difference between drinking a notoriously-finnicky-to-get-right light roast and battery acid.

It's just physics, and something you can check for yourself in 5 minutes or by asking any chemical/food engineer who knows the basics of extraction.
Also doesn’t mean that Rivian instantly starts making vans for anyone else, might just allow them to advertise out the van platform to normal consumers or fleets. I could totally see them selling it directly - esp to the van life and small businesses.
There used to be an ABX plugin for Foobar, where you could test yourself if you could make out the difference between an MP3 of your choice and a lossless one.

Huh it totally is.

https://pynecone.io/docs/state/overview outlines that is the case but leaves out the detail that it's using Socket.io.

Gather if you want to use this then and have it not suck you are going to need some form of edge compute.
My favorite is audiophile network switches. Never mind the fact that two devices connected with RJ45 ethernet have no direct electrical connection since signalling is done via transformer coupling, so it is impossible to have a ground loop. Never mind the fact that it is a digital signal and audio streaming has robust error correction via TCP.

For the low, low price of $3800, you can be the proud owner of an audiophile grade, 100Base-T network switch: https://innuos.com/phoenixnet/

Right, but is that different anywhere else in the world?
But if you're writing in C, couldn't there be transposition issues? Like what if the music was written in a different key? Do you have to use different versions of the code written in C# or F depending on the key the input audio was recorded?
All of our code is compiled three times by different Mac Pros in a climate-controlled environment, in a special room, 30 meters below ground, enclosed in a faraday cage, and encapsulated in an anti-radiation shield of three feet of concrete and 2 inches of lead.

The result of the compilation is recorded on custom 2-inch wide magnetic FeCr tapes, aged for two weeks, and then compared three-way in a vintage Ahmdal Corporation 470V/8 that is carefully maintained by a squad of vegan hermit celibate engineers with the highest DoD security clearances, and kept permanently in an inert atmosphere of CO2 and Argon.

If the comparison shows no errors, only then can the binaries be deployed to customers.
This is correct, but remember that the stock may also be down because they do still have losses on these longer maturity low-interest rate loans.

...I'm not sure how much of that is new information though. So while bankruptcy is not likely, a depressed stock price may still make sense.
Are headphones, sound bars, and the like not an enormous market segment? Do you think people wouldn't notice if a cinema replaced their 10.2 surround with a couple of phone speakers?

This reads like "I feel totally alone in diverging from the norm that microwave TV dinners are as good as any other food, I much prefer home cooked meals".

Interesting — what kind of advantages would your hosting service provide over, say, packaging the Pynecone app into a Docker container and then deploying to Fly.io/Render/GCP/Azure/etc?
