> Of note, the distutils package has been removed from the standard library.

How is this not a major version change if a module is removed from the standard library? Other breaking changes too. This is confusing to me.
It's worth considering how old the US version of democracy is, and how many systems came after.

Americans have a deep reverence for their personal brand, but it's worth considering they don't install their government model on countries they conquer. Japan, Iraq, Germany, etc are all Parliamentary.
Originally a hidden HDD .sony thing
Maintenance is non-existent, until they stop working. Then, your only option is to stare at a circuit board and hope you figure out what blew, or just throw the whole thing away.

2-stroke engines have some advantages. They also require little maintenance, especially if they are used often. Refueling is much faster than recharging, meaning a much smaller capex investment. Large electric batteries are still painfully expensive. Ours got left out inn the rain accidentally, and it was very nearly cheaper to buy a new one on sale than to buy the replacement battery from the manufacturer.

That said, the noise and fumes suck. Nobody likes that part. I have an electric lawn mower, but still use a gas leaf blower and chain saw. Since I use those less frequently, the carb tends to gum up if I'm not careful, but it still beats the prices of electric versions.

The fundamental asymmetry in power is that the far-right group does not care if the government is functional, they're there to destroy government as much as they can, so they have leverage over anybody that does care.
I am very happy with gcp. You can setup a cloud build trigger to build and push to gcr then deploy to gke or cloud run. A bit more involved that pythonanywhere but more flexible and arguably more powerful.
Great article.

I don’t know how anyone can lead a house GOP with a faction that opposes any compromise, demands the ability to remove the speaker at a whim, and seems to have little interest in governance generally.

Seems like an impossible position.

The obvious path of forming a coalition with the other party seems like the only functional way forward.
Probably an unpopular opinion with everyone preferring to hand over money for convenience, but the advantage of learning to be able to do this yourself with nginx will bring a lifetime of self reliance/money saving.

Yes it will take time to learn it, but the ability to spin up a super cheap digital-ocean/linode/hetzner node is a valuable skill to have in your back pocket.
Oh boy, I can't wait for insurance to start telling people that being able to smell or taste isn't medically necessary.
Yeh. We use DevPod to work in cloud dev environments in our AWS cloud. I hate it. DevPod brings its own SSH implementation that injects itself into your server and munges CRLF, making ssh sessions to your workspace fraught with difficulty except for basic command line applications. The only terminal that seems to work is the one built in to Visual Studio Code. Maybe Microsoft Windows Terminal also works, I dunno.

If you have editor attachments and want to work this way, suck it up and learn your VS Code. That's what all the tooling supports first class. Second class is JetBrains. Vim and Emacs aren't even considered. I'd say just run them from inside the container, but then you run into things like custom SSH that munges CRLF. When you look at who actually authored the devcontainer standard, it makes sense.
Oh man, this is such a sobering read. There are a lot of suicides in those tables :/

> I bet the rest of that stack either moved away from php or added extra languages.

Heh, nah, the rest of the stack is still running. The first line of PHP code that I personally wrote was in 1999 and it's still there; the core CMS was written earlier than that.

It's not doing anywhere near the traffic it used to (it was a reasonably popular video gaming site back in the day; it gets almost zero maintenance & I'm continually impressed it's online and working just as well as it did (... arguably better because it has so much less load :)

> It’s the type of dev using it that’s usually not, I am sorry to say that.

I don't disagree but I also don't think that is a problem unique to PHP at all. Arguably some languages are better than others at keeping developers on the rails in some cases, but you're going to see garbage written in everything eventually.
A honey pot is just a place where sensitive and valuable information is centrally stored.

Red meat is not necessarily high in omega 6, and on the contrary grass fed meat can be high in omega 3. Also the debate is still out on whether or not omega 6 is inflammatory or not, and even omega 6 rich nuts are probably health promoting in typical quantities. From my understanding gluten is probably fine for those that don’t have a sensitivity. I think you should caveat your claims about diet since we don’t totally know to an absolute manner yet.

> Much of the US's governance relies on politeness, the assumption of good faith, and adherence to norms

This is more a post-War (or post-New Deal) problem. If the federal government shuts down, towns and states still function.

The problem is so much more, today, is interstate and global. As a result, the tendency towards gridlock absent consensus, previously more a feature than a nuisance, is now careening towards something existential.

As well-engineered as it is, does it justify its price tag? I don't know anything about the components here but there are pretty sophisticated electronics within this bracket, and it's enough dough to make a substantial dent in pricier ones.
The way I've always looked at it is that

#include <filename>

is to bring in "standard" header files such as those under /usr/include, whereas

#include "filename"

can bring in any file at all, and located anywhere at all, that could be useful, be that a normal header file; or a C-code file with functions, etc; or even a binary blob. (Though I usually convert binary blobs to ASCII C-style data headers in my own program coding.)

US Says It Can't Cut China Out of Critical-Minerals Supply Chain
Both Intel and TSMC are committed to building fabs, though they are building in Arizona, a state not exactly known for its abundance of fresh water.

I can't think of anything more dumb than German energy policy in the past decades though personally.

Surely you must agree that the German energy policy for the past decades wasn't exactly beneficial in any way to any nation other than Russia? For Germany it wasn't beneficial either, not geopolitically, nor environmentally (closing nuclear and essentially replacing it with gas and coal) nor economically (some of the highest consumer electricity prices in the world)?

I mean the definition of stupid is when you make decisions that hurt yourself and everybody you like while helping your enemy. This is what Germany/Schroder basically did with the Russian gas corruption.
Baseline supply doesn't need to exist. You just need supply to match demand. Which mix of plants produces that can change dynamically just fine.

The 'baseline' idea exists because of nuclear's high fixed costs and low marginal costs. This is also a form of generation which is complemented by dispatchable generation and storage, just the same as renewables, and does not complement renewables usefully at all. So if you wanted to build a grid based on nuclear you'd need to either overbuild it or build lots of storage, just the same as with renewables. And renewables absolutely destroy nuclear on cost.
Meditating is much easier if you do it before opening your browser to find out about hospitals being bombed 4000km from your place, though. I'd still advocate for limiting consumption first...
My thoughts are: Lets create it then! We can make Amazon, Google, tech giants, operating systems, large language models, Chrome, data processing engines... Why would we be incapable of creating a good system for ourselves. Not a perfect one, we can upgrade the version later (lol, Union 2.3.4, merge conflict). But I think we should all want some guarantees to make sure that Big Tech can't unilaterally screw half of us _on purpose_.
This attributes the drop to a price increase, but I wonder if rising anti-western sentiment has hurt western brands in China generally. Yes I know iPhones are made in China, it's probably still perceived as a western brand relative to Huawei.

If the democrats had the wisdom to do so, they'd have backed McCarthy. Was he perfect (if you're a democrat)? No. Was he willing to at least keep the government from shutting down? Yes. You'd think that would be table stakes for speaker, but I digress.

It's a no brainer, they'd have him McCarty the balls, Matt Gaetz looks like a jackass, and they can use the leverage they have to keep the house doing its job.

Instead, we have pandemonium, no speaker, no plan to ensure the government doesn't shut down in a month, and Gaetz has something to crow about. Do the republicans look like a clown show? Sure. Is that a better overall outcome for the country than having a (barely, semi) functioning House? No (even if you're a democrat).

The whole goddamn lot of the house ought to be ineligible for reelection for failing to govern.
We have the "game-winning" scenario on the reflect.net homepage right now: https://reflect.net/. It's a puzzle and when the last piece is placed, it shows a celebration and the puzzle resets moments later. But we only want that logic to run once. We can't do this client-side because there are many people and we'd end up having to choose a leader or something. This is the same exact situation as wanting to show in the UI who won (who placed the last piece) and only wanting to do that once.

Reflect has first-class support for this kind of situation by allowing mutators to run special code server-side. I talk about this a bit here:

https://rocicorp.dev/blog/ready-player-two#server-authority

You can use the same mechanism to have a branch in the code that places the piece that only runs server-side and chooses the winner.
:: or -> this?
If the default setting is to enable the feature, then the feature isn't opt-in because the user didn't "opt" (ie, choose) to enable it. For a feature to be opt-in, the user must explicitly choose/opt to enable it. Otherwise, the user didn't opt for anything and if you enable it anyways then the choice to be made is to opt out.
As others noted, this is working outside and with some sort of adhesive (about which one might want to know lots more), and as for a level surface, well, that's generally going to be the case in almost all cases anyways. That said this robot doesn't do rebar, and that's a big deal.

Semantic search and retrieval augmented generation for medical literature
PubMedBERT Embeddings is a fine-tuned Sentence Transformers model trained using medical literature. While generalized models do a great job on a wide range of tasks, past work has shown that training domain-specific models can improve overall performance. This model produces higher quality embeddings than generalized models for medical literature.

Hey! Awesome work. It seems like in theory this encoding scheme should enable the a model like this to generate images as well, by outputting image tokens, is that right?
He probably doesn’t know how. But it’s an interesting point. I never thought about it before, but the event I went through had a similar link between taste and smell, and in hindsight I now don’t get why.

In college I made a bet with a friend that I could hold dominos wings hot sauce in my mouth for 10 minutes. At the time, the wings from dominos were actually very spicy. It was painfu, I spent about 30 minutes washing my mouth out after that. I lost my sense of taste AND smell for an entire year.

Why did I lose my sense of smell and not just my taste? Any docs here to explain?
We must share a neighbor. Mine is outside every day leaf blowing. I saw him literally blowing one leaf across his yard to get it to the street.

My take is that the Republican Party is in such a great position of power now that splits are inevitable. To date, the famous Republican lock-step unity has been in everyone’s interest because otherwise they lose to Democrats. But if you have an insuperable advantage in most areas of government, maybe it’s time to actually argue about what you’re for.

Whether they’ve chosen their moment to have this split correctly, however, is up for debate.
I personally harbor a visceral hatred for them as well, but words lose meaning of you apply them inappropriately too often.

renewables are already out-generating nuclear in the US, and that number has doubled in the last 10 years, while nuclear power has shrunk slightly. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of nuclear's economics.
So the actual article states that iPhone 15 sales have dropped relative to the sales generated by the iPhone 14 during the same time period last year. Which is substantially less newsworthy.

But a possible explanation is

My understanding is that overall China in general is in a worse place economically and many people are in a worse place financially than they were 2 years ago. Which would mean fewe people to spend money on the new iPhone.
Not only coal: in the end, transports (cars, trucks) and other industries (steel making) should also stop burning carbon as much as possible, so keeping the current quality of life would require increasing electricity production significantly.
Being a BoA business customer, I'm very familiar with the 'point of pain'. They're the worst bank I've ever had to interact with. Their always screwing up something and their credit and debit cards are constantly rejecting charges for 'fraud' that are clearly not fraud.

I do not recommend.

Molecular physics is apparently quite different in strong magnetic fields, like those on the surface of compact stars.

Maybe one could speculate about a white dwarf star, cooled down to room temperature over astronomical eons, with some sort of life then evolving on its extremely magnetized surface. Its laws of chemistry would work differently.

I think it depends on your goals. If this is a serious project and your first deployment, consider Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and a managed database (DBaaS). If it's a hobby project and you're interested in learning about infrastructure you could run your app, database, and reverse proxy on a single Linux VM, which any cloud will offer.

For PaaS, if you want a set-it and forget-it solution check out Render or DigitalOcean App Platform. If you want to dive a little bit deeper and learn about different offerings from the major cloud providers, compare the features of Google Cloud Run and App Engine, or AWS App Runner. All of these providers offer databases too.

Either way I recommend learning how to containerize your app because then you can run anything almost anywhere.

Alan's idea was that your desktop could be customized to your needs, either by yourself or by an IT group. Say you're rolling out machines to an accounting team: the Windows desktop would have tools right on it to make those team member's jobs easier.

Or you could make your own desktop tools with a few clicks and maybe a bit of scripting.
