Ask HN: Why do Python libraries make so many breaking changes?
Today I was working with Pydantic and I realized that I am version 2, and so many things are not the same anymore. Of course, it's good that they have put warnings in there but I still don't like it.

I am also a heavy user of Poetry and I am in dread of updating it. Everytime an update happens, something breaks. Do other people have the same experience? Is this a Python only thing?
Modern ‘Sixth Mass Extinction’ Event Will Be Worse Than First Predicted: Report
Real estate might not always be the best investment, but it's the only type of investment that the vast majority of the poor and middle class can effectively make. In what other context would a bank ever lend a penniless college graduate $500,000? If these mortgages did not exist, think how long people would have to save their pennies to afford a home - probably most of their lives. That's how things used to be in the US, back before these mortgages were put in place after the great depression. It depresses me how little we all seem to remember about the New Deal. I think being born into wealth must inflict a certain blindness to the difficulties of others.

Creating human cognizant life to enslave it to perform menial tasks like imagine porn for the average couch surfer until it inevitably dies sound ethical to ya? We've come a long way from the "we shouldn't clone people" of the 90s debates I guess... also somehow women aren't allowed to get reproductive healthcare, man the cognitive dissonance is wild
we do the same. Codespaces, gitpod, or coder.dev all provide for this kind of workflow and honestly it just makes so much sense. Corporate desktop for comms and internet, ssh to a devcontainer (or vm if that is desired) for development activity.

Are you taking the occasion to reconsider strategy of approach, to get feedback?

Sorry, just an aside. Nonetheless, on the known line to translate "failures" into "lessons".

Update: I must leave the console now, but I hope the sniper passing by posts some argument. Hopefully different from "Insensitive", here where the exact point is (1) treating events as something preventable given some wisdom, to be built, and (2) treating events as something to be analyzed, instead of borne - to neutralize them.

I started using computers at the age on 10 on a Timex 2068, so I am bit curious at what age that was.

While coding BASIC and Z80 Assembly were a bit of challenge, but doable, installing a UNIX based OS is another level.

Regarding trying Slackware today, I think it would be more interesting to try out another UNIX like one of the BSDs, or getting hold of HP-UX, Solaris, Aix somehow, as they do provide a complete different experience, while Slackware it is still a Linux distribution, dispite the differences.
UUIDv7 was first proposed just a few years ago, but the rfc contains a good list of well known ULID systems that predate it.

Putting the timestamp in the high bits of random ids is a “trick” i learned from DBAs (that used to be a thing!) in the 90s. And often the drive was to improve DB insert performance as it was for the other uses of an ID you can order and reason about.)
New Horizons in Music: Polyrhythms [video]
That is fine. You can't really call it an externality if there is a fine for refinancing at a lower interest rate. All that matters is that the original lender collects a suitable fine when the mortgage is terminated.
But it does become relevant if you consider the mathematics we can understand expanded to some ontological boundedness, for instance perhaps something that relates to the validity of the Church-Turing thesis. Then talking about mathematics beyond such a scope becomes moot too. With this I'm not saying we can't reason about Gödel's results by the way.
You are completely wrong. Iceland imports everything which is why the food is expensive there. It would be exactly like saying "Food in the US is insanely expensive, just look at Alaska or Hawaii". Food in 95% of Europe is much much cheaper than in the US. Since we came here from the States, my wife's and mine grocery bills basically halved and food quality easily more than doubled. And this isn't just in one of European countries, this is most of Europe.

Salaries in majority of Europe are at this point pretty much comparable to the States due to US salaries stagnating for a very long time. White collar jobs pay about the same, blue collar jobs pay the same or more, but require real licenses in some cases. Restaurant workers in Europe make much more on average, and can afford rent. Even taxi drivers can support themselves here even livinh in more touristy areas.

"Way higher taxes" is also kind of false. Sure, the taxes are a bit higher, but you get so much more for your money. Entirely free healthcare, education, kindergartens for your kids, public transportation, and all other kinds of social safety nets.

My wife and I are committing to a full move from the United States just due to how unaffordable it's become.

Some of the utter joys that Eco’s books give you, is that they grow with you. The more you learn about the world (and yourself), the more layers and nuances you’ll find in re-reads.

As a stubborn and curious 14 year old Foucault’s Pendulum is still a somewhat readable story, which I enjoyed and got the general gist. Later Re-reads of course brought more, because I have grown and known more in the meantime. I found that even more with re-reads of The Name of the Rose.

And of course that process is never finished. I’m sure, I’ll find even more stuff, if I were a full scale medievalist or could read better Italian than reading in translation, even though translations of Eco are said to be rather good. Reading, thought in that way, is never done.
> Such a load of bull. I'm sick of people ignoring the science. Educate yourself before writing anything next time

What are chances that everyone globally will just switch to vegan diet to save on CO2 before 2050 or whatever end date? My fair estimate is zero.

It's like wishing people aren't lazy or corrupt or that are more honest. To quote the poet "You don't get what you want".
The reproductive cycle of fruit flies is approx 10 days. A single fertilized female will lay 100s of eggs over her life. But not all at once, it's more like 5 a day.

So if you have a single fertilized female in a room, about 10 days later, you will start getting those handful flies emerge every day. You can keep your room completely isolated, but still you can catch 5 a day on average for about a month or two (in lab conditions longer). If you don't catch them all and you end up with another fertilized female, the story continues.

I think flies are very opportunistic individuals, in the sense that there is always a fly hatching somewhere. If there is food, it will lay the eggs there. If there is no food it will try and stick around or die. But even if it dies, it's bothers and sisters are constantly emerging. So the population will survive a lot of adverse conditions.
> I'm sorry that you wasted your money on an educational investment that doesn't pay dividends.

Which part of the grandparent's post led you to the conclusion that his/her education wasn’t good?
This makes sense and gives me some things to learn about, I really appreciate it.

If climate science is correct, the one hole I still see is that it doesn’t take into account future improvement in technology, which I think might have some solutions especially when the problem actually threatens an economic player like a 1trillion dollar company. It is basically a choice to believe something good like this can/will happen, so you could call this out as semi religious.

Thank you for engaging with me in the end.
> I'm not sure how you can read this as anything other than suggesting clear political bias in the handling and opening of the investigation into the Trump campaign

Because you haven't answered the question as to why the Durham report was needed at all given the DOJ IG was doing his job. In fact, we know Durham was full of shit because he ended up with nothing except some whining. Everything concrete thing he found was already found by Horrowitz. So he was redundant there.

Where Durham was not redundant was in his "speaking indictments" which didn't actually result in a single conviction, but instead just speculated wildly outside of both fact and the law, but existed within court documents, so the patina of legitimacy was applied. But again, Durham never proved anything. We also know he's full of shit because in his final report, he tried to relitigate the cases he actually already had lost in court. Very unprofessional, worst SC since Starr. Just a lot of whining and complaining over nothing.

Trump incited Jan 6 and he will be imprisoned for it.

Trump stole national secrets and he will be imprisoned for that too.

Trump attempted to rig Georgia's election and he will be imprisoned for that as well.

Trump also, on top of all of that, colluded with the Russians in the 2016 campaign, and he will not go to jail for that, for it isn't a crime. But he did it, the Mueller report and Senate Intel Committee report proves it, and the Durham report failed to find improper predicate.

This is completely in the face of Trump-world lore, where Obama illegally spied on Trump, and the Clinton campaign caused the FBI to start a "witch hunt" investigation. No. It was found the Trump campaign colluded, and he was investigated because he did the thing. The investigation was not found to be improper by Horrowitz, fire was found where there was smoke.

And let's say you are correct, that there was "political bias" in opening the investigation. Does that mean instead, we should have just let Trump's collusion with Russia go uninvestigated? Meeting with foreign spies promising relaxed relations in return for dirt on your opponent? Turning over campaign data to the Russian GRU while they are waging a psyops campaign against Americans?

My god, might as well just invite the Russians into the oval office and just hand them them classified information. Oh wait, he did that too.

Come back to me once he's convicted and tell me again how the FBI shouldn't have investigated him. He's a career criminal and a psychopath. Also known as a fascist, and he
should be nowhere near the presidency ever again. We should all be politically biased against such a person.
Interesting; something off the beaten track.

While i agree that many treat "Traditional Martial Arts" almost like a "Religion" (i.e. The Ancients knew everything and thou shalt not question) we also need to be careful that we don't throw the "baby out with the bathwater". Almost all of current-day martial arts are "Sports" (including MMA etc.) with rules and refereeing in place to avoid serious injury/death. Thus while we have a lot of modern knowledge w.r.t. Anatomy/Physiology etc. much of the mental training needed for "life-or-death" situations have been lost. A technique by itself is nothing; it is the "killing mentality" needed to go with it that is everything. I think that is what we need to refocus on from "Traditional Martial Arts" while at the same time interpreting them in the light of Modern Science/Psychology.
That's awesome. I'll definitely be looking out for something interesting sounding/local or just different to try or bring back next time.

breath-first doesn't mean it's not looking into subdirectories. It is, but it looks into each subdirectory before decending into the different subdirectories subdirectories.

So it enger first subdir, looks at files there, then goes back up, enters second subdirectory, looks at files there, ... After checking each subdir it goes into the first subdir oft the first subdir, looks at files there, then goes to second subdir of first subdir
The only function nuclear has is to keep the profits flowing for the same companies that have been running all coal plants. It's really just the same people who were opposing renewables because "too expensive" in order to continue running their profitable fossil fuel plants. Now that it's clear that that gravy train is running out they push nuclear, because they would be the only ones being able to deliver (in contrast to both wind and solar which don't require the same massive investments that can only be pulled of by a few small entities).
The only problem they have is that the whole "renewables are too expensive" doesn't work anymore because they are actually cheaper, so instead they make up the baseload myth. Which already has a solution, overcapacity and investment into storage. In fact due to the long energy ROI for nuclear power plants, we would actually make things worse in the short term, because we need to use a lot of energy to build the plants. Solar and Wind are both on exponential curves (with no indication of slowing down), so why would we invest in nuclear? Use that money to invest in solar and wind (especially as long as we are still running fossil fuel plants), you get much higher CO2 reduction return on your investment.
I tried something similar, I had a text file called mylog.txt and whenever I hit alt + m it would append whatever was in the clipboard to the text file along with the date & time.

>we're going to experience a significant global economic contraction soon

1. YoY 10% expected decline from the largest increase in recent history. i.e 2022 was an anomaly.

2. No it is not BULL WHIP effect. Has relatively little to do with it. The problem was with commodity chips, one should read into UMC and SMIC.

3. Nvidia, for the rest of the year is still capacity limited.

4. Samsung Foundry took some market to fill their capacity gap in other sectors. Although I doubt that is even 3% of the expected TSMC revenue decline.

5. In all likely hood it just means their Customer are reluctant to pre-book much capacity and would want the flexibility to increase order when needed. ( Usual Strategy )

6. It is likely China's volume is much worst than everyone expected.
When most people say tax the wealthy they are actually literally saying, tax them on what they make. The middle class pays pretty much all the taxes in the US while the world's wealthiest tend to pay as much as someone who is upper middle class.

Some people are now proposing a wealth tax on anyone with more than a billion dollars. That's surprisingly reasonable. It is also completely sustainable, and does not require overthrowing any government ...

So basically the balancing point at which CO2-based heating stops is bounded by this 155K number, which I’m assuming relates to something really hot and bad on the surface. This means that with just this model we will all die.

Can we not just seed clouds to reflect lots of energy back into space though? Maybe that is a stupid idea, but I could come up with 10 ideas like that and maybe someone could come up with an idea like that, but which actually works.
The costs could be as you say. And a arduino may last 25 years but a cheap power adapter janky wiring soldered to a hobbyist proximity switch will not.

I was thinking more of a scenario where a young engineer at least knows what a PLC is and buys $1k of stuff from automation direct. And starting from a PLC/googling about PLCs will lead you down a path of PLC cabinets, high quality power supplies, labeled wires and industrial limit switches. Vs another engineer that only knows the world of arduino and messes of wires in boxes.

In the first case, when he or she leaves and the thing breaks down, the next person can either call or pro or have a chance to connect to the PLC, do some troubleshooting with the ladder logic and figure out which sensor needs to be replaced. In the second case there’s probably no documentation and the source code is long gone so the only thing to do is scrap it and start over, probably incurring a large cost because now it’s an emergency to get the thing working again, and/or it causes lost production. I failed to mention earlier I wasn’t just talking about the cost of parts.

I’m not saying the imax solution may be so bad in the “arduino direction”, but thinking about it for me thinking about some professional experiences I’ve seen in both directions.
The problem in your rant is comparing Reddit to "quantum mechanics". Reddit is a (huge) CRUD. You don't really need any fancy languages or abstractions because frankly the difference they are going to make is negligible.

Go to places where they do software to solve problems which "undergrads might have a hard time understanding them" and then for sure you'll start to see extremely domain specific languages.

That seems detached from reality and a dangerous, more than productive, idea. They are more probably uninterested or superficial (which is in a way the same). You do not need to feign enemies to get detached.

I’m hoping to get back to everyone as soon as possible. I hope you can all appreciate that I’m a human being and this has been a lot!

In the mean time, I wanted to repost my last comment on the GitHub issue thread [1]:

Hey all, we plan to respond to your feedback but I want to be thorough which will take time and it’s the end of a Friday for me. We wanted to give a quick TL;DR:

- This is an early proposal that is subject to change based on feedback.

- The primary goal is to combat user tracking by giving websites a way to maintain anti-abuse protections for their sites without resorting to invasive fingerprinting.

- It’s also an explicit goal to ensure that user agents can browse the web without this proposal [2]

- The proposal doesn’t involve detecting or blocking extensions, so ad-blockers and accessibility tools are out of scope.

- This is not DRM - WEI does not lock down content

- I’m giving everyone a heads up that I’m limiting comments to contributors over the weekend so that I can try to take a breath away from GitHub. I will reopen them after the weekend

Note: Homebrew links to this which tells you how to opt-out before sending any analytics data. Similarly, Homebrew sends no PII and you can trivially view all the data that's being sent and verify this yourself. As a result, I think "spying" is unnecessarily inflammatory language. We wouldn't have these analytics if we didn't need them to run the project.
These should be well known by nature people but I don't hear them discussed much.
