That's not a problem with modules, per se, but a problem with Python's module system. Importing a module in Python just executes the whole file. JavaScript used to have this issue with `require` years ago. Each `require` statement essentially executed that import right then and there, and would bug out if circular dependencies existed. However, they fixed it with `import`.

Almost every other module-based language does not have issues with circular dependencies. Python, in theory, could follow their lead, but they won't.

EDIT: I wasn't as clear as I could be. The issue again isn't modules, but scripting languages that allow top-level statements at all. Intermixing types and method declarations with executable code makes circular decencies an issue. Compiled languages don't allow top-level statements, so they don't have the dependency resolution problem.

Windows is also supported. However, when you view the web page from a mac, it only shows you the "Download for Mac" button.
Yes it's true that proper config can make this problem go away, but the fact that some of the advantages of PHP such as ease of deployment (drop a .php file -> you have a webapp) is a double-edged sword as it encourages a lot of bad practices (that large legacy projects such as Wordpress continue promoting).

It's indeed possible (and quite pleasant) to do proper PHP with a good framework, sane web server config & modern development practices. The problem is that a sizeable chunk of the PHP ecosystem (and very popular projects such as Wordpress) are not doing that.
That was my thought as well. I feel like everything that I used to (and sometimes still) do as a hobby has become super-commercialized and 99% of those interested in doing that thing only wants to do it for the money and not as a hobby.

The entire world wide web I guess is a good example. But people are seriously paying professional game masters to run table-top RPGs for them and so on.
It is less convenient (by design), but you can always manually look for new drivers and download them. Thats how I do it.

In retrospect 1997-2000 was probably the most optimistic time in the entire history of mankind so far.

I’m 43 and in my heart I don’t honestly believe we will see another such era of relative peace and global alignment during my lifetime. It’s somewhat depressing. (Not for myself, but more about the prospects for my children who statistically have a 50% chance of being alive in the year 2120. The world of climate change we’re leaving doesn’t look like a happy one.)

ADHD is so poorly defined and with such terrible standards of evidence for a valid 'theory' with an incredibly wide source of potentional causes of ADHD thoughtout one's lifetime, that I question if any correlation tied to the concept of ADHD means anything at all.

The amount of money and researches dumped into dopamine transporter studies, brain diffusion tensor image scanning, the outspoken desire to test the pre-frontal cortex of monkeys, because lab mice don't have them and they still don't have any quality evidence to identify adhd.

Enron has a better return on investment for shareholders than ADHD clients have for research dollars.

I guess I live in a different world. I have run multiple large beer events. (4 or 5,000ppl at the last one) These get approved by our city and state. All I have ever been asked is if we have a security plan, not any details, just that one exists. And it's sort of in passing, usually after the we need a copy of your insurance requirement. There were not any requirements to hire an officer. I still choose to hire 3 off duty officers but that is my choice as the event host. I also call them individually as I have met many of them over time and they are worth every penny. They aren't even expensive compared to other services required.

Seems very niche, with massive data size restrictions, making it difficult to broadcast or stream on existing infrastructure.

But even if you solved the infrastructure problem, it feels like a gimmick that would be uninteresting pretty quickly.

Sporting events maybe benefit a bit by being able to find the right angle for any shot, but honestly they will probably just find the best angle and post that video as a clip

Youve always needed to do this.

I know what you mean but I think there is more context that enables such an oversight to happen.

It feels like a product of the "we have always been at war with Russia" political fluidity when the applause was triggered by claims of fighting Russia in 1940. Today we funnel guns to units wearing SS unit patches with no scandal. There is no international effort for peace. There is no widely held principle that we must turn enemies into allies. Instead there is glee at every Russian death and disinterest, unless useful, in every Ukrainian death. To be anti-war gets you treated as a crank. It makes me feel sick.
The lack of extradition doesn't prevent the British courts from operating. It's not like you can escape punishment by just avoiding physically going to court. If you refuse to show up, you'll probably lose by default. How much impact that has depends on the relationship between the websites owners and the UK, but extradition isn't strictly necessary.

There's a difference between your business being just another business, and your broker intentionally under-valuing your company so that their own acquisition farm can acquire you cheap then flip you for the actual market value and pocket the difference.

The first is a reality of business. The second is a conflict of interest, immoral, rude, and should be illegal.

That still happens.

I wouldn't describe myself as "hard-left" but I am in a milieu where the legacies of colonialism are routinely discussed and I can personally tell you that there really isn't any intent to "cancel" everything associated with colonial powers or any bullshit like that. Are you sure you're not taking your cues about what the "left" believes from right wing media who select the most absurd tumbler posts as evidence for what project the "left" is up to?

In general, identifying the most extreme opinions consonant with a general set of ideas will, no surprise, furnish you with extreme opinions. The "hard right" in the United States wants to "obliterate trans people from public life" and install a "Red Caesar" to de-secularize the United States under righteous authoritarian rule. It would be stupid of me to associate those beliefs with, for example, Mitch McConnell or conservative members of the supreme court, though see below.

The fact is that there is _no organized left_ in the United States. Those kids posting memes on tumbler have no power, Bernie Sanders (a moderate by the standards of European democracies) couldn't take the Democratic nomination from a liberal capitalist. Getting your brain twisted about the "far left" is deranged. The far right, on the other hand, is much more politically organized and engaged, as evidenced by the fact that they are, among other things, banning books, passing legislation, and gumming up congress as we speak.

> The video talks about "no cost at all", except it ignores the massive amount of labour and time required to hand make bricks from mud and go from there.

Cost and labor are two different things, especially for people whose market assign very little monetary value for their labor.

> How do you house the population on this planet without making use of cheap to produce, scalable and durable materials such as steel or concrete?

Well first of all, the global population is growing at a much lower pace than it used to, so the challenge is becoming easier and easier every year.

Then (reinforced) concrete is pretty much the opposite of durable, at least with the current “cheap and scalable” technology we use today with steel rebar that corrode and eventually destroy the structure.

And finally, the current technologies aren't the only one that are low-cost or scalable, we've been working with them and refining the entire supply chain efficiency, but that doesn't mean we cannot scale other technologies. And dismissing dirt as a possible replacement because it sounds like a thing of the past makes as little sense as would dismissing concrete because that's something the Romans used.
It depends entirely on the system as a whole, and it might help to start by forgetting about "ISO C" and start thinking about C the triangle.

* C preprocessor - it's a text substition operation that can be non standard

* C "the language" - just the syntax folks, no library functions here.

* C "the standard library" - for many of us the K&R stdlib was just a proof of concept example of how to code a library, feel free to ditch it and write up your own string handling, for example.

Which brings us to, say, a multi channel marine seismic processing system that has an IBM PC type design with a custom motherboard that has six TI DSP boards slotted in and you're writing code for the user interface to a real time signal aquisition and processing system and writing onboard code for the numerical processing on the DSP boards.

Now, each board handles a streamer cable, each cable has a number of microphones, an external boomer in the water is triggered and the reflective soundwaves from the ocean floor, and the soundwaves that penetrate the seafloor and later also partially reflected by density change layers, are all captured by the microphones.

You have keyboard+mouse I/O between the real time window manager user interface, shared memory I/O between the PC memory and memory on the DSP cards, analogue soundwaves going to sample ports on the DSP cards, block memory I/O going from the PC to a SEG-9 tape recorder, prepared lines of memory going to a plotter to build an image ...

There's a lot going on.

But, as far as the code compiled for the DSP boards, that mostly handles I/O by linking reaction code to interrupt triggers - when the sampling hardware interrupts to signal another bit of soundwave from microphone[i] is ready, that's stashed in a FiFo queue to be pushed into the DSP handling pipe and to be saved in a raw sample buffer.

When a raw sample buffer is full an interrupt is triggered to take the entire buffer via DMA transfer to be handled PC side by sending it to the SEG-9 tape "of (raw) record", when a processed sample buffer is full an interrupt is triggered for a different type of DMA transfer that takes processed data to display, printer, and to a different SEG-9 track for processed data.

Not much of this is the standard C library, so you can see why you might write your own low level handling.
Yeah, I wouldn't allow my children unfettered access to the Internet and I certainly wouldn't be using an iPhone or tablet as a babysitter.

LLMs aren't smart at all, anybody serious in the AI field understand so many of its limitations. I wouldn't even use the word "intelligence" and LLM in the same sentence, much less AGI.

You're just impressed that it can write well and 'sounds' precise, but it's the effects of a lot of RLHF, transformers and H100s, not something capable of solving humanity's biggest problems or greatly improving our comprehension of the universe.

It isn't precise at all, and if you'd give it a whole afternoon, it would still come up with the same stupid solution, meanwhile you give a human an afternoon, and they might come up with something, that has also common sense.

Go read about objective-based AI or other subjects in the field. It's much more promising than that parrot powered by h100s :-)

Sure, there are investors throwing money at any company doing their niche LLMs or whatever, but it's snake oil at best.

LLMs are just a new interesting interface for humans for computers and data. We need other AI-related fields to develop, for us to unlock the real power of "intelligence". Computers are just as smart as they were in 2010s.
Dunno about Oklahoma, but Kennesaw, Georgia, does have a gun ownership requirement, passed in 1982 in response to Morton Grove, Illinois, banning handguns. Kennesaw's neighbor, Acworth, is the one with the rake ownership requirement -- passed in response to Kenneswaw's gun law -- though it is not immediately clear to me whether that ordinance is still in effect.
Canada no longer has pennies. Canadians now seem a little surprised that we still have them. Comically, US banks accept Canadian pennies so people are using them up as much as possible.
My word processor progression was:

- Electric Pencil on a TRS-80 Model 1
- Word Writer on a C64
- PC-Write on an IBM XT
- WordPerfect for DOS 4.2 on a XT clone
- Describe for OS/2
- Lotus WordPro
- WordPerfect for Windows
- Microsoft Word
- Google Docs

I went to a mostly liberal arts university and the new my freshman year, 1987, computer lab consisted of around a dozen non-networked XT clones running WP 4.2. Two of them had dot matrix printers attached and were dedicated to printing. I had my own XT clone, which made me the computer lab for my friends, but no printer so WP 4.2 was somewhat forced on me. That being said I found it to be extremely productive and is the only one I have any sort of nostalgic feeling towards. Once AT layout keyboards became the norm it was much less productive to use.

I know Microsoft Word is disliked around here, but I regularly produced complex documents hundreds of pages in length both by myself and in collaboration with others. I found it to be a good tool for doing so.

I did try Wordstar at one point but it lost out to PC-Write which used many of the same control keys.

I mostly retired a few months ago and now part time manage my fiancee's horse farm. Google Docs meets those needs.

People distort words to the point of meaningless unless the use of those words are defended. "Open Source" is a term that is actively being defended.

The history of the term is very clear. The term was coined by Christine Peterson in a group session in 1998 with Todd Anderson, Larry Augustin, Jon Hall, Sam Ockman, Michael Tiemann, and Eric S. Raymond. Months later the OSI was created by the same people in order to manage that definition. There is nothing unclear here. "Open source" is defined by OSI and it has been defined by them from the very start.

If communities let others distort words, those words loose their meaning. As a well known example, the word "woke" which has long been abandoned by the community that coined it.

"Open source" is an actively defended term by the organisation that originally defined it and the community around them.

Or maybe he thinks advertisers would rather advertise to people who could scrape together $1.
I recently visited my local Indigo after having not gone for a couple of years, and was surprised at how little space was dedicated to bookshelves. And even those shelves were surprisingly empty.

I'm sure that those other categories have higher margins, but I can't help but think that Indigo is shooting itself in the foot in the long term: none of those other products are paricularly good in quality or value and I can't imagine people would go to Indigo for many of those products. Instead, I get the sense that people go to Indigo for books, and see and buy those products while they are in the store. With an ever-decreasing selection of books, who knows how they're going to keep up the traffic required.

Personally I'm highly optimistic about the post-war period of ~2035. Wars usually bring about extremely rapid development and adoption of new technologies. I suspect that my kids, if they survive, will enter a world I can only dream about. Plus, killing off several billion people will alleviate resource pressures on the planet, and likely reverse global warming through nuclear winter. And world wars usually bring about the downfall of governments and major institutions, which have been major blockers to the adoption of technology on a societal level and development of a social structure that fits the world of today rather than the world of 1945.

It's going to be a pretty grim 10-15 years in the near future. I think a 50% chance of them being alive in 2120 is pretty darn optimistic; I'm figuring they have a 20-30% chance of surviving to adulthood. But if they make it, life after a population bottleneck is usually pretty good for the survivors.
