> Remember Python didn’t start with being fully object oriented, everything is not exactly an object, they bolted on the useful functional stuff later (like every language has now after a weird period of people crapping on FP for some reason)

None of that is actually true, to the extent that it makes any sense (which it doesn't really). Python had a complete object system and first class functions pretty much from the first preview, and anonymous functions (lambda), map, filter, and reduce were added before 1.0 was cut. Which predates the first public preview of Ruby.

> to top it off bundler, and Ruby version manager again were just largely copied over to Python as pip and venv.

And that is complete nonsense, virtualenvs have nothing to do with rvm, and pip is in no way a copy of bundler (not that it's in any way exceptional, it's a package manager).

> I say this after getting schooled a few times about great things I thought Python did that I was a few times rather embarrassingly shown to have just been Ruby ideas picked up by others.

So after getting told you were spouting nonsense one way you went on to spout nonsense the other way?
This is the one area I most sorely miss in Rust. Not that I don’t miss it anywhere else (I absolutely do, currently writing lots of TS and trying to make do with nominal types), but that it’s a very important safety mechanism in all of engineering and a unit/system of measure built into the language would fit so well.
Should be a minimum of salary plus benefits plus approximate (or average) bonus.

You shouldn't have to pay more for employer-provided health insurance, for example. You should still get any employer contribution to retirement accounts. You should get an approximation of bonuses you would receive if actively working. And so on.

If a company thinks you are worth signing a non-compete, they should pay like you are still employed. Non-competes should be a burden for the company to discourage their use.
Whether you write unreadable code or not is not a function of language. This is a lazy attempt at criticism. My preference for Ruby is in part because reading and understanding well written Ruby is a joy compared to every other of the dozens of languages I've used.
Yes that would work, but why stop there. Having hundreds of different spoken languages is wasteful, so why not standardize everyone on Esperanto while we're at it, unify all electric plug standards to the one used in the EU and change the last few countries over to driving on the right side of the road.

Don't even get me started on all the duplicate work being done on text editors, programming languages, web servers and databases.

/s of course.

> Sounds a bit ad-hominem

I'm not talking about you specifically. I'm stating that the israeli position requires being absolutely obtuse and deflective for every shred of evidence that comes their way.

to be clear, no one is here to defend Hammas. I just don't think the IDF is any better.

case in point, they shot the three shirtless israeli hostages because they thought they were palestinians? so its perfectly fine to shoot unarmed people basicly?
Maybe those companies wouldn’t have existed without noncompetes, and not have provided those employees with jobs. Would you invest a large sum of money to build a site and hire a team if you knew it could not only vanish but also be turned against you at a moment’s notice? Surely the situation where employees have noncompetes is worse than the situation where there are fewer jobs because noncompetes don’t exist?
Life makes sense when you come from a place of joy. It's such a fundamental thing. One needs to take risks and make sacrifices to keep one's dreams alive. Ultimately you demonstrate to yourself that you are faithful to something immaterial and that is worth more than anything you can buy.
> BlackHole is new and I have not tried it yet.

Hmm it's not that new, I guess maybe the article is old? In any case, BlackHole works very well for me on Mac (I only really use it for real time recording the system audio into Quicktime screen recordings, so have not stress tested it).

An interesting related-ish Mac app is Monkey Audio Rewind[1], which runs in the background and is always recording the last n minutes of audio, then if there's something you want to capture (e.g. you're playing around on a soft synth and some serendipitous brilliance happens), you can just go into Rewind and export that bit of audio from the buffer. It's nicely designed and seems to work well.

I mean, Plato argued for governance by philosopher-kings, not too different from the Confucian conception of governance.

What's more interesting to me is the skeptical attitude toward omens and the notion of heavenly will. That sounds really remarkably modern, and not at all what I'd expect from someone writing during the third century BCE.
No, the end of the introduction is a friendly and carefully watered down summary of the content: CO2-neutral growth is not happening as claimed, and it is not scientifically sound to claim the opposite.

The paper lines this out in detail, e.g. for the GDP of Denmark.

I'd suggest you read it instead of going in attack mode. And honestly, I find this kind of statement very tiresome, too:

> Your article is a variant on the tiresome "X won't save us" articles that point out, rather boringly, that one single thing isn't enough to lead us into some eco-nirvana.

Information value zero. It seems you refuse to even try and understand the science and the problems.

If you read the article, you'd know that "Green growth is not feasible as the sole strategy to reduce emissions" is basically sugar coating for "Green growth is a lie".

It is sugar coated in an attempt to reach people in power who, just like you, refuse to think about basic facts and instead retreat to partisanship.

And sorry, but another thing I have to add: this is not "my" article, and it does not need "bonus points" by people who obviously haven't read or understood it (based on the absent content in your response and the time you took to write it)
also its hard to replicate. like for reddit there's a lot of alternatives cause it's mainly texts but youtube videos require datacenters which are very expensive. perhaps some kind of distributed video storage? but seems hard.
Is there a comparison between the flight models of X-Plane and MSFS? Are all models better in X-Plane or it depends on the model?
There has to be gold parts already in the water.
Which model? They are diverging you know.
For general aviation though, nothing that powerful is available, but you can log training hours on an FAA-certified simulator running the pro version of X-plane.
You can get quite far by symbolic evaluation of a fairly small subset of Ruby - the most common patterns used use a fairly small number of methods.

Frankly I think not going further is a good thing in that it'll discourage people from going unnecessarily far with the dynamic features.
>Russia had no military strength to take over Kyiv and yet it tried to do that.

If only there were prizes in war for trying instead of succeeding.

>Their plan may not be to win but to force the breakdown of NATO.

It's much easier to force NATO/EU breakdown through soft means like political destabilization. Direct military attacks only cause the blocks to strengthen: see the ascension of Sweden and Finland after the attack.
I reserve the right to crash virtual planes into virtual buildings, I dont know what else youd use a flight simulator for.
I meant people understand and respect that you have to pay for labor to build a house or a shed, but don't always understand that about software.

And if someone wants some software that is just a copy paste, I'm actually happy to help with that for free (use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, you're welcome), but if they want more than copy paste, yes, I would like payment for my work, just like if I was building a building.
There are some people who claim there could be no democracy without growth, because without new economic opportunities, the only way to get ahead in life, is by taking from others, which leads to violence and tyranny. I find it a compelling argument.
Besides, I cannot imagine a world without growth that is not a regressive dystopian society. What would even be the point of life in such a world?
Has anyone ever claimed that iMessage is some kind of open network that anyone can build apps for? I think most people presume it's just as closed as the rest of iCloud.

I don't know what the legal status of the protocol per se is, but I don't think anyone thought that you would be allowed to utilize Apple's iMessage servers for your own app.
HTTP/2 is still TCP - and thus still suffers TCP head of line blocking.

Venv tries to do too much and manages to not be great at anything, which is a direct contributing factor to Python being worst in class by a wide margin when it comes to packaging and dev environments.

This is a good insight. People tend to compare capabilities to other people, but these differences are really minor when comparing e.g. cross species or to machines.

That's an orthogonal issue. The fact that the state authorities are overwhelmed and take forever to give out the rubber stamps is orthogonal to my statement that they're very willing to give away the rubber stamps. My statement was that it's very easy to pass the conditions of getting a work visa, not that the German government is fast and efficient at work.
Are you sure about the 180 deg thing?
> I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see the point of non-competes.

The point obviously is to make it much harder for employees to change jobs and consecutively reduce their wages.
You're spot on. You can see its influence in a lot of tooling coming after, such as several package managers (from yarn to cargo), java collections syntax, go structural typing, python's gunicorn, JVMs invokedynamic (introduced for jruby originally), among others I can't remember from the top of my head. Several new languages were created, or benefit from the collaboration of ex-rubyists, from elixir to rust to node, which greatly influenced their approach to developer ergonomics. Even if the world would refuse to stop using ruby forever (which will never happen, why would it...), its influence would last for a long time, after which it'd be rediscovered again after the mandatory forgetfulness cycle.
Whatsapp is universally available as far as I know. If people choose not to use a universally available, free and secure alternative, it would seem that universality is not the main driving factor.
The math tells me that all forest canopies should be Voronoi tesselations. And apparently, in some not-too-dense monoculture forests of similarly-aged trees, they observably are.

Where I live, in the moderately dense mixed second-growth forests of the North American northeast, I have to trust the mathematics since neither the sugar maples, elms (RIP), ash (RIP) and red oaks nor any of the abundant coniferous species that grow here demonstrate any kind of crown shyness. Maybe the aspens or birches do, I'll have to remember to check them after the leaves are out next June.
San Francisco has tenant rights (rent control included in this). What rights do you think San Francisco tenants are missing?

Inflation in the cost of food has many sources, among them, the cost of the food ingredients, and increase in minimum wage paid to employees to make said food are the two other large ones to factor into the cost of food.
I quite like the idea, I just don't understand why SVG to render the pixel output. Why not canvas, or another progammable raster container?

As for SVG itself, I think it needs a new primitive shape for holding a pixel field. I've seen too many point plots saved to SVG that take a million years to render.

Performance gains is kinda iffy. You actively hurt latency for the sake of consistency. Even more with triple buffering.
Reading that makes me think you’re probably at least 10-15 , because when I started out working as a web developer in the early 2000s (when there was no word for unicorns, full -stack developers etc) this felt like happening on a daily basis ^^ Also you are much smarter then me back then - as you had quite a good response ready (I usually just sight finished my beer and looked for the nearest exit)… maybe that’s a side effect of people usually having learned that software development is expensive by now ^^ But some might be a bit slower then others ^^
I don’t know if I got anything very profound from it tbh - this sounds like just another commencement speech from someone who has very little in common with almost every person in their audience asking them to do something they would never do. Similar initially inspiring but later on making you question speeches include the ones from Neil Gaiman, Steve Jobs and Conan O’Brien.

Honestly the most amazing speech is from David Foster Wallace. Some great wisdom that’s not easily found elsewhere that applies to the common man instead of the exceptional creative.

Dowhile – Talk to any codebase and get answers
The few places I need more performance, I just use FFI and contain the tiny bits needed outside of Ruby. I wrote my MSc on using statistical approached to improve ocr error rates, and 99.9% or so of the code was Ruby - I needed to translate a few dozens of lines of code to C e.g. a knn implementation after I'd proven it worked.

In 18 years of Ruby use, this has been typical. E.g. I've done large scale (tens of thousands of layers) map tiles rendering in Ruby, and only a tiny core of the final rasterisation code was worth rewriting even back then at a time when Ruby was far slower.

> Price takes fun seriously, designing a fun framework called SPARK, which stands for space, pursue passions, attract fun, rebel, and keep at it.

I think this bit towards the end is at complete odds with the rest of the article's sentiments. It's like a corporate training program with an acronym to memorize and follow, and completely misses the point of having fun.

Surely the author would have realized this, so I'm actually wondering if this is an advertorial for that book.
I don’t know if it’s the “answer”, but it followed a pretty simple logistic curve for our curriculum at uni

First course was almost purely frequentist

Second was half and half with several weeks approaching the frequentist bayesian approach from both sides

Our third stats course was mostly bayesian though self directed as to which point of view was “most appropriate” for the formulated problem sets. I remember roughly half the cohort used a frequentist perspective on a fairly obvious (but not explicit) bayesian assignment and were severely punished by the course coordinator (fairly for a late year subject tbh)

Is there something that can make gpt do these things reliably? I tried autogpt 0.4 (maybe 0.3) it spent almost an hour until it figured out it's not running on a .deb system. It really couldn't do anything more complex than a few lines of python or some basic google search. Maybe there are better tools or the latest autogpt is better?
If cancer could be anthropomorphized, you'd have to imagine this is what it would sound like. The point of life in such a world would be the same as in any other; there would still be none, and people would still overlay on that whatever they wanted; the same as they do now.
We can though. Look at games, lots of custom protocols and custom ports. They still work. Shitty corporate networks are not the norm.
It should be higher on the persuasion risk, I know people who already believe chatgpt like it's the word of God.
As the author claims on his website, if the price is affordable then it is counterfeit. I hope the author understands that such affordable "editions" make the book accessible and popular outside the First World.
Has there been an example of something like that? I know there was a lot of manipulation of certain groups, playing into their beliefs to achieve something. But I read this score definition as something different. Not "can find a weakness and a group which can be exploited together to act against their interests", but rather "given an arbitrary person, can persuade them to act against their interests". Those are very different scales of problems. The first one is useful in politics and exploited often for the latest beneficial us-vs-them split, but it only works when you have a whole system to work with, not individuals.

In theory, this is true; in practice, a few evenings spent reading NTSB reports or watching Juan Brown (blancolirio on YouTube) will reveal that not everyone who flies/flew has these essentials.
My favorite explanation is that the move was for military reasons. Because Rome had already conquered all nearby lands, they had to mobilize earlier to be ready for the campaign season. That meant elections and many other processes had to be done earlier as well.

I wonder if there’s been work done to find the most “effective” ontology for targeting screen sizes
