Surely "to run the program from source, you need to know how to build/run it" applies to every language.

But I'm more comfortable working through problems I might encounter in languages I've worked with, than in languages I'm not familiar with.

I'd say Python is notorious, since you're probably going to hear about at least six or seven ways people are able to run things; so if you're not familiar with it, you're likely to do something wrong. -- e.g. elsewhere in this thread, you've pointed out that stuff should be run from a venv; that's something you have to know.
You’re absolutely right. I reconsidered what I wrote later.

Hmm, I am sure the physicists involved did their part, but it sounds like a complex process up there with many components, each susceptible to ie micrometeorites.

Why do all these various energy transformations (and transfer it then 'wirelessly', LOL) and not just make some sort of lens / mirrors and focus it on specific point on Earth, that would collect it efficiently?

is he really? how much good is a one-time payment of a lump of money helping? sure, it may allow someone to afford something they could not before, but unless they are able to invest that money into something that will improve their live for the long term, then such a payment doesn't really do anyhing to actually change their situation.

one time payments need to be used strategically, and we know from lottery winners that many don't know how to do that.

if we want to help people we need to work on changing systems that allow them to raise their income or lower their monthly expenses or carefully guide them to use one time payments to fix a problem in their life that will have a long term benefit.
I assume the gold standard is just downloading a compiled binary and using that. Which is the norm for almost everyone ... except python projects.

When it comes to compiling/running from source, Python is in the middle of the pack. It's not as smooth as rust (install cargo from your package manager or from rustup, run "cargo build") but not as bad as C++ (run through the install section of the readme of each dependency, then debug whatever build system the project is using).
The global housing slump is over but the global IT slump is catastrophically raring its head.
>In Python at least you "only" have to figure out venv, pip and conda and you're mostly set. In C/C++ world adding a dependency is such a pain that most projects have less than five dependencies. Most of the time it's simpler to just quickly write and debug a worse version yourself than to figure out how to find and integrate a library.

That's from the developer's perspective, not the user's. The user of a C++ project doesn't have to care about any of that; they just run the binary, or ./configure && make to build from source. The user of a Python project has to struggle through worst case days of pain depending on how many dependencies are randomly broken.

Yes, but Python is among the harder languages to build while other languages can be a breeze.

And that is despite having used Python much more than some of them.

I think ChatGPT is going to become relevant in this space somehow.
Yes, it requires keeping track of how much each user trusts each other user. And then when you rank content for user A, you use the trust table of user A as weights of upvotes.

This is more computationally intensive than sorting by the raw number of upvotes or weight upvotes by karma/popularity.

But I think this is a useful computation - the user can be more confident that the content they is is not astroturfed and comes from trustworthy users.

Details of how trust is calculated:

pipx is just displacing problems:

- you have to install pipx and they recommand to install it... with pip. Back to all the same problems.

- pipx implicitly use a python version underneath. For things like mypy or black, you get stuck to the syntax of this version, and you'll get errors a lot of users can't solve

- pipx is not stable enough, it just fails sometimes

- people have to know about a third party tool

- it adds to the paradox of choice

- pipx PATH injection is hit or miss

I should have listed pipx in the article, it's not a solution, it's a crutch.

> Does Lisp really work much better?

Most of the popular ones are a lot better than Python. Python might be comparable to CAD Lisp or that abomination embedded in GIMP (though I think they stopped supporting it) in terms of quality of design and execution.

Where do you suggest I install them instead? On someone else's computer? What kind of advise is that?..
This may not be entirely fair but citizens of a country which is being shit to others feeling negative consequences due to their countries shitty actions is generally a good thing. It's up to Russians to fix their government and its up to Chinese to fix theirs - unless you are advocating for foreign invasion, which will probably make things a lot worse for you no matter where you currently live.

Add to that that there are many Russians publicly supporting the war and/or their government. The same goes for the Chinese and for corona specifically you had a lot of them travelling the world while the virus spread was heating up.

Ultimately, humans are pattern seeking animals and if you fit into a pattern of shitty people you better make sure that you make it clear you are not one of them. It would be better if people could be more discerning but I'd rather take this than not having any pushback for countries and other groups of people misbehaving.

Always use containers! Any big project should be sandboxed, having completely isolated environment, dependencies, and you have all installation steps well described and reproducible. Containers in Linux are lightweight citizens and using them is absolutely necessary to avoid any dependency hell and broken or trashed system. Plus, you can simply distribute them.
I understand now, thanks!

If only life was that simple that it could be enclosed into series of two digits categories.

The problem with such strongly hierarchical system is that it fails if there is some document, note, picture, etc. that would be useful to keep in multiple locations. Obviously we can introduce links between objects, but I believe tags are more comfortable to use.

Hierarchical system, folders are artifacts of the physical world in which a single object, tool, pipe, screw, book cannot be in two places at the same time. In the abstract world of computers a note about new game could be in #games, #fun, #to-check, #interesting-ideas, #great-graphics, etc.

The analogy was about Binance's desire to be a broker, exchange and clearinghouse at the same time, something the SEC is specifically tasked to prevent (as far as I understood it). That doesn't have to do anything with the Blockchain technology in general - and it seems reasonable to me that if Coinbase conflates those two things, they are trying to muddy the waters, nothing more.

A more specific analogy might go like this: Imagine some awesome new biotech startup that develops a completely new method to interact with cells - activate cellular receptors through long-distance quantum tunneling and gravitational nanolensing or whatever. Then it packages that tech into small, consumer-friendly devices which are programmed to activate a specific metabolic pathway in the wearer's brain: As it happens, that pathway is the exact same that is activated through heroin. Then they sell those devices to the general public without any restrictions.

One day, the FDA knocks on the door and says "hey guys, your tech is cool and all and we're sure it can trigger all kinds of amazing medical breakthroughs - but right now, you're using it as heroin with extra steps. And selling hard drugs for recreational use is forbidden."

To which the startup guys might reply "oh no no no mister, we're not in the business of making drugs, we're actually a long-distance quantum tunneling/gravitational nanolensing company. You see, this is such a new field and fundamentally incomparable with anything that came before it that, unfortunately, there are no laws yet that we would fall under. However, we absolutely do see the need for regulation, and we're willing to work with you and together arrive at a sensible set of guidelines that won't stifle the immense potential for innovation of that field..."

At which point the FDA guy would probably tell them to cut their bullshit and the startup might respond with some long rant about how a tyrannical FDA literally suffocates American innovators or something.

If your user is interacting with the package ecosystem, you already failed multiple steps. Which python projects are routinely doing, but that's a cultural issue about packaging.

For "users" that have to touch the code: well, those get the full developer's perspective. And I've lost more hours than I would like to admit trying to get C++ projects to build. A project has to be really small or packaged really well to make it as simple as ./configure && make

> Why does it matter if a program is a self-contained binary?

Because simple is better than complex. I'd rather download a binary than download a binary + dependencies + set them up + bookkeep for when I want to delete all those files.

> Pyinstaller is pretty good for if you need a standalone installer.

PyInstaller doesn't work for many edge cases. If you're using a Python package that uses a compiled binary written in another language, good luck on your way down the rabbit hole of PyInstaller config. I personally could not succeed in packaging a uvicorn app, for example.

>That's more of cultural problem in the Python community.

The Python community also loves making minor breaking changes. Like the language itself, with the changes from Python2 to Python3, then later on the changes to e.g. introduce "async" as a keyword and break all existing code that had a variable of the same name. Some dynamic languages, like Clojure, take the approach that it's not okay to collectively waste tens to hundreds of thousands of hours of users' collective time just to satisfy the library developer's aesthetic urges, and packages very rarely make breaking changes. Personally I'd much prefer a language/library with some deprecated cruft than one that wastes days of my time updating my code every time some developer finds a new way to make their API "cleaner".

This is probably bad legal advice (above and following...). The EULA clearly states reddit content is owned by reddit. If you break their agreement you break it - and the Governing Law section says you would be put in Federal or state court in California, even if you are a foreign national.

Does a California court have jurisdiction over a foreign national. Probably not - which is entirely possible that Reddit would take a lawsuit to whatever court is closest to the person.

As I stated above, this isn't legal advice either, just my layman's view.
The sad thing is, people won't do the one thing that could probably create the community or village they crave. They won't pay a fee to belong. If the business model was a small profit - not growth - paid communities could offer a lot. One that comes to mind is the old BB The Well. It definitely had community and longevity.

People want free, so they flock to the new free thing that replaces the old free thing that got bad because it either had no business model and collapsed, or the business model drives it to sell user data and eke out every dollar it can for its investors. Inevitably, the free things go bad. Sometimes, people tolerate it for a very long time, but it seems eventually they all implode.
That's an interesting insight. Would be adding Wikipedia to my priority list for sure.

> I can't believe they pick such a clickbaity title for a serious publication and let quanta magazine publish an even more clickbaity article about it. Well, I guess they need more funding.

My take from reading the article (not a physicist) is the physics of the nucleus (i.e. the protons and neutrons and strong nuclear force) are treated as emergent phenomena from the quantum theories about fundamental particles (e.g. quarks, leptons & gluons).

Per the article, such leading theory of the nucleus is "chiral effective theory," which seems to be quite inaccurate at making predictions for the experiment in question.

I'm not sure how much more accurate the headline could be, unless chiral effective theory is not in fact the ex ante leading theory of the nucleus.
Yes. Which is quite impressive.

I the near future (20 years) with enough EVs we will have enough storage capacity (All cars in Germany EVs -> 2 days of electrical power storage capacity).

Everyone here currently adds local solar panels (which dropped 50% in the last year). Battery packs being no option 4 years ago are now offered for 1kwh household solar panels and dropped in price too (but not 50% yet). We will get one next year to move generated energy into consumption times in the evening (we have no car).

(This is all private consumption of course not industrial power usage)
> Better for safety to have conflicting inputs that require an arbiter, than a system that's confidently wrong on a single input and drives you at full speed into a 'Wile E. Coyote' wall painted to look like a tunnel.

Reminded of the recent Japanese lunar probe that failed[1]. They relied on a radar ranging sensor to determine altitude, and when they flew over a large crater the sudden change in distance to ground caused the software to fail the radar sensor. This again meant it had to rely only the IMU, which has drift issues[2], causing it to believe it was just above ground when it was in fact way above.

I'm thinking a camera looking down in combination with the radar would have been more resilient, as there would be less need to rely on hardcoded threshold values in order to determine when to fail the sensors.
