I was going to complain, but I’ll ask you/yall instead: what do you mean “makes it actually pleasant”? Is it too hard to summarize? Because I don’t think I ever identified anything about Anaconda or Poetry that felt like a particular choice, at least UX-wise. And curation-wise, it seems like a hard sell to trust a smaller org over the larger established group.

In other words: what does it say on the tin?? All I can read is “good package manager is good because good and fast and good”. Maybe there’s a comparison or ethos page…
During an apparent migration to "Disney Login", it seems that Hulu force-logged-out the entire audience, and the login system is also broken.

Login and password reset are both broken, meaning that hundreds of thousands (millions?) of users are locked out of Hulu.

None of the old Hulu , old Disney+ or reset-Disney+ credentials are working.

Alt codes are great for rarely used characters. For common accents for instance, moving to something that works within two to three keystrokes or a swipe is a game changer.

macos does it pretty well with Option＋key combinations to insert an acute/grave symbol for instance. Otherwise I think most people add shortcuts/custom key mappings to deal with it when their keyboard doesn't have the keys.

I have a Verbatim M-DISC BD-R that I torture test. It was one of the first ones I burned. I burned it in 2018. I flex it all the time, use it as a coaster on my desk, leave it out on my patio in the sun for weeks at a time. I rinse it off with pool water and wipe it off with paper towels. It has yet to lose a single bit.

If this 20ish gigs of data hasn't had a single bit of corruption, I doubt most of the other discs in climate controlled storage in multiple locations have had much errors either.
If poetry works for you, it's fine. It works great 90+% of the time for me and I found it before rye or hatch or whatever, so I use it too. Eventually it will either have to adopt to the new standards as they firm up or it will probably get left in the dust, but that's fine. Hopefully if/when that happens something like rye will be mature and boring and well supported everywhere instead.

The latest tools are not always the best tools, old and boring, as long as they work for you are perfectly fine.

> but doing stuff you don't understand is necessary to come to understand it

Only if you're doing an experiment and can constrain accidents. Any other type of activities would require to read the manual first. They're terse because they're supposed to be a reference, but you can usually find books that ease the way in. And then there's the domain expertise that is required. You need networking knowledge to interact with software like ip, operating system knowledge to understand what top is showing to you, etc. You can't get around that.

The GUI is a fixed canvas already painted by someone else, the CLI let you write your own poetry.
This also reminds me of the 1-way vs 2-way doors analogy Bezos mentioned in his interview with Lex Fridman — sweat the 1-way door decisions, not the 2-way door decisions.

Can you explain more what security vector you're talking about here, because I just don't see it?

Like, as far as I can tell, grub or whatever is a bundle of filesystem and device drivers, with enough info to then execute a kernel.

Linux also is a bundle of filesystem and device drivers, but better tested ones I think.

To me, it seems like using the kernel's filesystem drivers, which you have to use already anyway once you've booted, means you have to trust fewer total implementations of these drivers, so it seems more secure.

What attack or threat vector are you trying to talk about here?

It's still just doing exactly what shaders do, which is crazy.

Explain to me exactly why, other than 'I guess someone already implemented some kind of basic version of it' that you would have to have custom CPU code rendering glyphs instead of a shader rendering SDF's like literally everyone does with shaders already?

It's not a good solution. It's a bad, easy solution.

We have a solution for running arbitrary GPU accelerated graphics instructions; it has a cross platform version with webGPU.

This font thing... looks a lot like 'not invented here' syndrome to me, as an uninvolved spectator.

Why would you chose or want not to use GPU acceleration to render your glyphs?

What 'arbitrary code' does a font need to do that couldn't be implemented in a shader?

Maybe the horse has already bolted, yes, I understand programmable fonts already exist.. but geez, its incomprehensible to me, at least from what I can see.
Instead of creating solutions to problems we create…

Your belongings aren't sentient and I'm sure that if they were to be wiped out almost everyone would hold the position that they couldn't be bothered to care.

That's not a comparable argument because your belongings have a material effect on at least one sentient entity.

Instead what if you were given the power to expunge everything in the universe outside of our solar system. Would that be acceptable?

That's not a comparable argument because you haven't been properly compensated as authors of the printed word are. If you received a dime for every snuffed-out star, would it then be acceptable?

Of course if you were to argue that downsizing the universe represents an intangible loss to humanity as a whole, we are have returned to ground zero in which it is ironic that exterminating trees provides a net benefit to humanity.
> Remakes, demakes and remixes of the old days.

You could argue that for multiple genres! Is today's Call of Duty not just a remix of mechanics created decades prior?

Total War, Anno, etc. Highly successful series with new and coming releases with many mechanics evolved and built upon the classic RTS formula.

> As a genre, RTS is dead.

It has shrunken, I would consider it far from dead. There is a limiting factor when we consider the classic RTS formula, it's essentially PC only. Many genres work across consoles as well or were adopted to work there as well. eg. Aim assist in every console FPS. Mobile doesn't work either, touch + classic RTS doesn't mix. RTS has thus a limited audience it can appeal to. But dead it is not, Steam's player counts for Strategy --> Real Time Strategy speak for themselves.

Poetry has two flaws imo:

1. It's written in Python, which makes it slower and prone to bootstrapping issues.

2. It doesn't manage your Python installation, which necessitates the use of a tool like pyenv.

Rye sidesteps both of those by (a) being written in Rust and (b) trying to solve all of the problems solved by poetry and pyenv in one go.
From TFA: 'Sometimes, critics look at California’s electricity prices, among the highest in the nation, and conclude that renewables must be the reason, Jacobson says. In fact, “it’s just the opposite.” California’s prices have been driven up by wildfires, which are often sparked by utility wires, and natural-gas disasters at San Bruno and Aliso Canyon. “If we didn’t have renewables, our prices would be much higher”'

> He said "this stuff happens _every day_ to all manufacturers". That's unquestionably true - [0],

Specifically he said, "blows my mind people post boeing after boeing problem online and all over reddit... but literally this stuff happens _every day_ to all manufacturers."

My reply highlighted only a few of the many reasons why it shouldn't be surprising that so many of Boeing's problems are being frequently talked about both in the news and on social media while also demonstrating that Boeing's problems are not always things that happen to "all manufacturers"

Even if we look only at the problem in this specific instance (and I'd argue that "this stuff" means we shouldn't), while it is true that over the many 10s of thousands of commercial flights that take place every single day in the US mechanical problems happen frequently (even daily), it is not true that losing a landing gear wheel while taking off is a daily occurrence.

> Doing something in the most efficient manner and cost effective is the tenet of great engineering. The trick is doing it while still prioritizing safety. That's what Boeing failed at. Not because they tried to save money.

According to the lawsuit against them and their own internal communications it is exactly because they tried to save money. Greed was the motivation for their actions which undermined safety and even when they knew about the dangers they actively hid those dangers from regulators for that same reason.

> The risk with printable tickets is that a seller could sell it to multiple people, who all print it out, but then only the first person who uses it can get in?

Note that the portion of that you're quoting that you didn't quote is "If you bought the ticket off the event’s official ticketing agency (not a sketchy reseller)"

I.e., we're specifically talking about someone holding a ticket that they purchased from Ticketmaster. If there are multiple copies floating about, presumably at some point the artist (/the actual event) is going to be unhappy that Ticketmaster is screwing their fans/attendees over.
Shrunken and dead basically mean the same thing here, and again that term shrunken was traditionally used, along with “RTS games are too difficult” and other reasons as to the whys. There is no growth potential and at that point you’re losing players faster than you’re gaining them. It’s a dead genre by all accounts. AoE2 remastered/AoE4 will prop it up in the same way that SC2 propped it up a bit.

Unless I’m wrong it seems like steam thinks dota 2 is an RTS game, which makes any stats around these things very suspicious.
as i said in my other comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40912296, text really helps a lot with constraining accidents

obtaining networking and operating systems knowledge includes as an essential part using software like ip and top (though try htop instead). it's not a strict sequencing but a back-and-forth interplay, synergistic with factors like study and mentorship

as for poetry, there are plenty of clis that aren't very expressive—rt-11, cp/m, grub, ms-dos, and mpv come to mind—and plenty of guis that are very expressive, such as godot, blender, inkscape, labview, solidworks, freecad, and sieuferd. you can write your own poetry as easily in godot as in bash

If it's any consolation: the vast, vast majority programmers should stick to single-threaded design, as is evident from all the atrocious multithreaded software out there of which 99% of the time would be faster without multiple threads (and surely far less complex)

Unless you know what you're doing, just pick the real low-hanging fruit, like throwing some threads at file block decompression.

Depends on how much data you care to store. I'm just trying to store family photos and what not, I'm not generating TB's a year. 100GB is more than enough for a whole year of important data for my family.

On top of the local copy and cloud storage whatever as well.
> No Python Binary Distributions: CPython builds from python.org are completely inadequate. On some platforms you only get an .msi installer, on some you literally only get tarballs.

I'm just guessing, but they could mean that there are no macOS/Windows binaries for security releases of older Python versions. You can't, for example, download an installer for Python 3.10.14. The last Windows installer is for Python 3.10.11 (April 5, 2023).
> but yeah having to read the manual and slowly piece together a working command or configuration file is definitely worse than having every option documented in the place where you choose it

That's where domain knowledge comes in. If you don't know anything about networking other than selecting the WiFi network and entering the password, you're going to have a hard time interacting with ip. If you don't know anything about codecs, ffmpeg will seem esoteric.

More often than not, in MacOS and the like, the GUI is reliable and there will be apps for not so common stuff. In Linux, the software (however complex) has already been written in CLI mode and works fine. Someone could do XLD or iTunes, but they're already happy with their ffmpeg scripts, and their MPD setups.

And the key to get there is to usually get a book about Linux at first, then learn about the software you are using.
In terms of just data, I haven't had issues with compatibility with Blu-Ray drives. Every drive has been pretty much plug and play in at least Windows and Linux. Discs have been immediately readable in both OS, and every drive has worked just plugging in USB or SATA.

Another thing that annoys me endlessly: a few months ago, Apple Music introduced animated cover art and then proceeded to animate album covers that shipped decades before Apple Music existed. If modern artists want to use this for their new albums, or if an artist wants to rethink the album artwork for a remaster, fine. But, Apple deciding to do a shoddy job of moving the Beatles to another layer and having it pulse in and out on the cover of Abbey Road? Fuck that.
