Well you can transfer the ticket to someone else for free anyway, so not really an issue.

Or you can transfer it to another name and print it out - just the name on Ticketmaster's system has to match some ID you have in the print scenario.
If you love cars, popping the hood is probably part of the experience. For everyone else, it’s the sign of a very frustrating day ahead.

As computer lovers, I feel we must endeavour to remain mindful that almost everyone else aren’t like us. They’re trying to get a task done. They don’t want to maintain or talk with the computer.
When I see "state seeds" planted unnecessarily (sometimes by me!), I come down on it in code review, lest they germinate into bugs. ;p My team is receptive, and we refactor to remove them. Maybe that's why my soul doesn't feel anywhere near crushed, even though I totally empathize with the problem.
Thankfully we have none of that on embedded. For every single board I have to figure out anew, so confusion is a purely transitive curse
To my understanding, Reka is more of a core no-code builder library while we're an implementation of it. Now I'm considering if we should use Reka to build out the rest of the editor.

With Builder.io, you have to set up a component to inject their UI into your app. It's more difficult to set up and maintain the components. We're opting to give full control of the code. You can develop with Onlook locally without internet for example.
Iirc there was a version in the kernel tree, then "upstream" if you could even call it that developed it further (OSS 4.0). I think there was a company behind it and a nonfree license. Obviously that was a no-go for inclusion into mainline Linux.

But alsa was/is also enormously complicated with a huge library, user mode plugins and whatnot. It reminds me of a common problem that people have where they think API and implementation are one and the same, and that you cannot swap out a different implementation keeping the simple API. People would say you need alsa because it does software mixing, but the lack of software mixing wasn't an OSS API problem, it was a problem with how it was implemented.
Kudos to the developers involved in this functionality.

Faster boot times and more secure installations are always advantageous. I'm all rooting for this development.

I've been wondering for a while why grub is still used, given that its basic architecture is outdated.
It was a goal in the early 2000s. It has become satire.
So almost totally OT question here. Last week I was cleaning out some bottles that had held home made ginger ale (I had filled the bottles with water after drinking) and I noticed that one of them had a goopy, SCOBY-like structure floating in it. Was that the ginger bug?

Never made ginger ale from a mother, always used fresh ginger, but I should try it some time.
I've only seen the flight data change, not the code itself.
That's a clever move, kudos!
> Clean energy is expensive.

Eh, nuclear sure but in general no. That's the whole reason solar is becoming so popular is that it's cheaper [2].

If you have to pair solar with storage then it becomes more expensive [1] (general X+Y is more expensive than just X or Y). But uh, people tend to work when the sun shines so you can add a ton of solar to offset the increased energy usage during the day.

Lots of bills with broad public support don’t even come to a vote let alone become law.

What you meant to say is broad support amongst politicians, assuming that group represents a supermajority of votes in both chambers.
Hammurabi (which as mentioned in another comment seems to be a later rewrite of this) was very popular in schools in the 1980s. As was "Lemonade Stand", which at first glance seems to have nothing to do with Hammurabi, but the style of the game (player enters a set of numbers reflecting various decisions to be made in the turn) and the computer returns the results (how much wheat harvested, how many cups of lemonade sold) according to its calculations, is very similar.

As far as I understand, this can't be done due to PR.

"evil scalpers are exploiting this poor artist by charging outrageous prices and preventing many fans from going" is a far better look than "evil artist is exploiting their poor fans by charging outrageous prices and preventing many fans from going."

To prevent scalping, you'd need a massive price increase, and very few artists are willing to be the first to do this.

dendrocentric compartmentalization, spike timing, bandpass in the dendrites, spike retiming etc... aren't covered in the above.

But it is probably important to define 'computable'

Typically that means being able that can take a number position as input and output the digit in that location.

So if f(x) = pi, f(3) would return 4

Even the real numbers are uncomputable 'almost everywhere', meaning choose almost any real number, and no algorithm exists to produce it as f(x)

Add in ion channels and neurotransmitters and continuous input and you run into indeterminate features like riddled basins, where even with perfect information and precision and you can't predict what exit basin it is in.

Basically look at the counterexamples to Laplace's demon.

MLPs with at least one hidden layer can approximate within an error bounds with potentially infinite neurons, but it can only produce a countable infinity of outputs, while biological neurons, being continuous input will potentially have an uncountable infinity.

Riddled basins, being sets with no open subsets is another way to think about it.

Here is a paper for that.

Poetry isn't perfect but I'm happy to have it. It installs most packages without issue and effortlessly handles multiple versions of Python on the same system.

In my experience, Poetry works much better than, say... ... npm.
I’m working on a similar vision. Except instead of replacing the terminal, I’m turning it into a more of an ergonomic interface for structured data and multimedia.

I’m open to discussing thoughts on this.
Sorry late reply,

Yes it is annoying to maintain 2 separate environments, but it's also not my end goal. A perfect solution for me would be a spec that is IDE agnostic, but also works as a VSCode dev container, all from a common source.

Maybe it's an unrealistic goal. But I've actually enjoyed trying and failing with nix so far, so it hasn't been too much of a burden.

Even if you care about "the health of the ecosystem", a little bit of competition can help. If I'm not mistaken, the maven wrapper was a direct response to gradle introducing this feature first, for example, so the existence of gradle also made maven better.

>So do the digital barcodes if you add them to your phones wallet.

??? Last I heard the adding the barcode to the phone's wallet did not work, or at least not reliably. Some older folks I know struggled with it, and I specifically help setup the ticket master app and download the barcode. They mentioned that the app eventually logged them off when they got on site and had to struggle with poor wifi. Eventually got it to work but IIRC it took several minutes before they had a stable enough connection for it.

Does it need an actually Google/Apple wallet or something setup?

https://web.archive.org/web/20240707022007/https://www.eia.g... (EIA 12 month forward looking generator deployment; scope to Texas and gray icons, which indicate battery storage)

vel0city's recent comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40504630: "Texas has 6.3GW of battery capacity installed largely in the last three years and is on track for another ~15GW (a bit over 20GW total) by the end of 2024. There's 141GW of battery projects in the queue for connection to ERCOT, with a large chunk of that coming online in 2025 and 2026."

If you look at California, what happens is that renewables grow rapidly, pushing out fossil generation (coal first, and then fossil gas, as fossil gas is more flexible from a generation perspective wrt throttling and commodity cost). At some point, you arrive at a situation where your spot prices drop below zero during daylight hours (as you're generating power in excess of grid demand, renewables can bid to give away the power or curtail, fossil gas and coal cannot, they'll take the L to keep spinning while paying for fuel and the per hour O&M costs). This is when battery deployment takes off, as batteries can charge when power is almost free, and discharge in the evening hours after sunset when it is profitable to do so. You can see California's ~10GW of batteries "breathe" daily in the data doing this. This revenue, combined with grid services (synthetic inertia, black start capability readiness [jump starting fossil generators during a grid outage]), makes batteries a strong economic proposition from an investment perspective.

Battery firmed renewables compete directly with fossil gas from a cost perspective. As of ~6 months ago, Texas had 100GW of solar in ERCOT’s interconnect queue, in comparison to ~65.8GW of fossil gas generation and ~14.3GW of coal generation currently operating. Even assuming worst case capacity factor (20% hypothetical vs 25% actual per https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights...), 75GW of solar with a storage component is enough to push that coal generation out of the mix. It's also unlikely solar deployments stop or slow down.

I could see the US subsidizing most of that $100B, just because they can, and more importantly, it would be the kind of tactical advantage that’s needed to make sure US tech companies stay relevant in a world where there’s a growing desire to breakaway from them in-favor of homegrown solutions.
Have you tried switching to Linux, at home and at work, and only coding in C and C++ and Bash, and working with mostly true nerds on boring things?

I'm only a few years into my career, but I'm already depressingly conservative/hyperreactionary with respect to modern technology and feel as you do about most software work. I feel dysphoric toward any web tech, for example, for reasons I can articulate and others I can't. So I'm wondering whether being sick of programming at large is just a matter of years passing or environment.
Some do that humility was the mother of all virtues in the same way that pride is the mother of all vices ... I don't have any data to back it up either way, but I would say anecdotally (and thus providing a single datum), "yes".

BUT importantly... it REALLY does not work well for lots of teams. For me, this setup has caused production outages multiple times across multiple teams. Maybe the root python ecosystem should learn and adopt from other ecosystems that have figured out complex deployment in a much easier way.
It followed something like this:

1. Defined the project intention: organize rules into a consumable/learnable format and create a tool to easily validate the rules against advisor marketing collateral. The audience is for my wife with an eye towards positioning it for her advisors.

2. Convert rules: I converted her disorganized rules document into usable rule objects, from:

> (for all tax related references/ Tax disclosure)

> [FIRM NAME] does not render legal, accounting, or tax advice. Please consult your tax or legal advisors before taking any action that may have tax consequences.

into:

{

"title": "Tax Disclosures",

"slug": "tax-disclosures",

"original_text": "[FIRM NAME] does not render legal, accounting, or tax advice. Please consult your tax or legal advisors before taking any action that may have tax consequences.",

"summarized_text": "Consult tax/legal advisors before actions with tax consequences.",

"parent_rule": null

}

3. Educational portion of UI: I built and organized the rules into the UI and fought with an experimental vuetify plugin for far too long to display the rules in an easily consumable manner.

4. Rules validation tool (UI): Accepts an uploaded/dropped file and displays any rules that have been successfully or unsuccesssfully validated by the backend API.

5. Rule validation tool (API): Parses the incoming file into two different extraction pathways, either text extraction from a document or base64 extraction from an image. The extracted file info and the ruleset are passed to OpenAI api (using vision with an image) with a prompt looking for a list of all applicable rules that are either succcessful or unsuccessful, as well as a brief summary of the result.

6. Deployment: AWS Amplify & API Gateway/Lambda

That's about it. Currently waiting for feedback for any future iterations...

My feeling is that when European policy is discussed on Hacker News, many Europeans reflexively become defensive and defend the European government's perspective irrespective of the merits. There is this sense that Europe can never be wrong, and is always better than the US. I would strongly encourage Europeans to reconsider this approach. It is not in your interest or in the interest of Europe.

For context, I grew up in Europe and now live in the US. One major difference in the US is that people are often very critical of the general direction of the country. In many cases this is the key mechanism by which positive change is made. For example, in the US many of us are critical of the healthcare system's poor accessibility for lower income people. That criticism has been channeled towards some non-trivial positive change (Obamacare on the federal level, many other thing locally).

Imagine instead that Americans took the European attitude towards this issue. As soon as anyone criticized American healthcare they would get defensive, dig their heals in, refuse to listen, and insist that the American healthcare system is fine. This would be really bad for the US! We would never have made any positive change because we would have been in denial about there being a problem in the first place.

Of course some people in the US do this. But I feel for Europe the standard response to any criticism of Europe is to dismiss it out of hand and retreat to this attitude that Europe is superior to everywhere else.
I go over the downsides in the article, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with using pip and venv. It's just that if you've ever worked in other programming ecosystems, it would be immediately apparent that things could be significantly simpler and more reproducible.

Why does python need virtual environments? Why isn't it that you simply are in the correct environment when you're in your project folder? Why are there upwards of a dozen different config files for a project rather than just one standardized one? Why do you need to nuke your whole environment and recreate it just to remove one package?

These things are silly. They get in the way of reproducibility. They are security liabilities. There is a better way
This reminds me of MILO for booting Linux on some (?) DEC Alpha systems back in the 90s. I don't remember much about the actual firmware anymore. Much like today with UEFI, the system had some low-level UI and built-in drivers to support diagnostics, disk and network booting, etc.

MILO could be installed as a boot entry in the firmware-level boot menu. MILO was a sort of stripped down Linux kernel that used its drivers to find and load the real kernel, ending with a kexec to hand over the system.

No matter how you slice it, I think you'll always come around to wanting this sort of intermediate bootloader that has a different software maintenance lifecycle from the actual kernel. It is a fine idea to reuse the same codebase and get all the breadth of drivers and capabilities, but you want the bootloader to have a very "stability" focused release cycle so it is highly repeatable.

And, I think you want a data-driven, menu/config layer to make it easy to add new kernels and allow rollback to prior kernels at runtime. I hope we don't see people eventually trying to push Android-style UX onto regular Linux computers, i.e. where the bootloader is mostly hidden and the kernel treated as if it is firmware, with at most some A/B boot selection option.
It's because the supply of housing for tourists and residents alike has not kept up with demand.

Maybe in someone's ideal world we can put everyone in a city into the categories of "outsiders" and "residents" and enforce a strict regime where "outsiders" are strictly prohibited from occupying housing that rightfully should go to "residents", but we don't live in a world where that's possible.

If Airbnb didn't exist someone else would have come up with it. If somehow the idea was preemptively disallowed, then the complaint would be that there are too many hostels operating under-the-table.

Without building more housing, there is nothing you can fundamentally do about tourism except make Barcelona a worse place, in comparison to everywhere else, for everyone.

I think pyenv finally solved the versioning problem for me.

Additionally, being able to set a Python version or virtual environment per-directory with "pyenv local" which has eliminated having to remember which venv I was using on a project directory, or remembering which convention for venvs I used for a project.
If these were metrics for your startup I’d call them vanity metrics. You just used data to explain that the US captures higher margins on their products and China does a lot of low margin or commodity production.
