I suppose i was a bit overly harsh with calling 3d guns what I did

> Certainly wasn't to the German Kurd 'Jstark' who invented it and indeed concealed it on German soil.

Okay, I don't know much about him aside from just now doing a quick search on him, but he didn't conceal carry the fgc9 when out in public did he (correct me if im wrong)? And that's what im trying to say, the gun he made - while it is better having something than nothing - you cant conceal carry as you could a glock or any other pistol; or are there small, relatively decently reliable 3d guns that you can that im unaware of?
> (..) then why not forego it for something else?

Because blindly ditching a technology for no reason at all is not a way to fix problems.

Good article about the woes in India to preserve privacy amidst the combined onslaught of government surveillance and surveillance capitalism. My mother's pension account was frozen for many months for not providing her Adhaar Id. I had to finally threaten legal action to ensure she could access her bank account again. We were lucky that we were well-off and my mother could live without her pension for many months, but such actions can make the financially-constrained really desperate.

I think the parent project, Kamal, positions itself as a simpler alternative to K8s when deploying web apps. They have a question on this on their website: https://kamal-deploy.org

"Why not just run Capistrano, Kubernetes or Docker Swarm?

...

Docker Swarm is much simpler than Kubernetes, but it’s still built on the same declarative model that uses state reconciliation. Kamal is intentionally designed around imperative commands, like Capistrano.

Ultimately, there are a myriad of ways to deploy web apps, but this is the toolkit we’ve used at 37signals to bring HEY and all our other formerly cloud-hosted applications home to our own hardware."
> food-safe bags is that they're usually polypropylene

Interesting.

I've just checked the biggest grocery site in Norway (oda.com) and two out of the three bags they sell were low density polythene, the third was polypropylene.

Not a big sample I'll admit. I'm pretty sure that the very thin bags provided in supermarkets here for fresh loose produce are also polythene.
For many years entire sections across multiple pages of firebase's documentation were missing after the site contents had been migrated from one system to another.

Multiple years of sample code and examples just cut out from the middle of pages.

When I was building on firebase it took me a long time to reconstruct exactly how certain aspects of the system were supposed to work just because of those missing docs.
> Everything costs more in the US except for imported stuff. It's not because of corporate greed. It's because labor costs so much here, primarily.

Your first sentence isn’t true and your conclusion isn’t true either. Then there’s the issue that American healthcare is massively disproportionally more expensive than the rest of the world. So even if your first two points were correct, they still don’t account for your cost of healthcare.

> I don't know all about UK politics but I know that the current social programs and government spending are unaffordable. The US and other Western countries can't afford it either.

The problem isn’t that they’re unaffordable. The problem is that people don’t want to pay for it. Or more specifically, people in the higher tax bands don’t want to because they view public services as an expense (which for them it is, because they’ll often be using private services instead). But this is another example of the self sabotage I was talking about in my earlier comment.

> You can consider Europe all together but it is still a smaller and denser area than the US as a whole. You need to look at places with similar population densities (and perhaps geography) to have an accurate comparison.

To be honest it doesn’t matter how accurate the comparison, you’re just going to argue that the free market fixes everything. Because that’s exactly what you’ve been brainwashed to believe. Capitalism is Americas #1 religion after all.

To be fair, I don’t think public services are the answer to everything either. There does need to be a balance between government oversight and spend; and of leaning into the private sector. The UK hasn’t found that right balance either. ButAmerica is waaaay of the mark and it’s destroying your country from the inside.
My assumption is there is a context difference.

Efficiency in fuel/mile.
Efficiency in Power output/liter of displacement.

But that is just my assumption.

You can have a relatively small engine and force a ton of air/fuel into it under boost and get tons of HP but it tends to lose the ability to maintain fuel economy. Tune it for fuel economy and it tends to lose power. It is very difficult to have both in the same package for many reasons. Adding mods like discussed in the article start to allow for the overlap to be wider.
Nonocycle – Prevent circular imports in Python
Nonocycle is a small tool I developed to detect potential circular imports before they are introduced into a codebase. It achieves this by enforcing a strict separation of concerns between sub-packages.

In my experience, circular imports are often not introduced in a single PR but build up over time. Developer A adds a dependency between modules X and Y. Developer B adds a dependency between Y and Z. Developer C wants to add more code, encounters a circular import error, and ends up in refactoring hell. This is especially problematic in larger projects where not all contributors are aware of how different modules depend on each other.

Most discussions about circular imports focus on how to fix them, while much less attention is paid to prevention. The common advice is to "split code into well-separated modules," which is of course correct but high-level and difficult to enforce. I created nonocycle because I couldn't find another tool that ensures modules remain well separated.

> This is a weekend project and is by no means production-ready. The heavy lifting is done by the excellent pydeps and networkx libraries. Please let me know if there are any other tools in the space :)
I'm not the person you've asked, but I've worked in devops before.

It kinda doesn't matter which you do first. And if you squint a little, it's effectively the same thing, because the migration will likely only become available via a deployment too

So yeah, the only things that's important is that the DB migration can't cause an incompatibility with any currently deployed version of the code - and if it would, you'll have to split the change so it doesn't. It'll force another deploy for the change you want to do, but it's what you're forced to do if maintenance windows aren't an option. Which is kinda a given for most b2c products

Ukraine has also been laying mines in Kursk, not only its own territory.

Which would make these deployments offensive, then (though the war itself is defense for them).

I would take "12 civilians" with a grain of salt

Yes of course, and indeed there can be fluctuations both ways as apparently a large number of people are still in IC, and may yet expire from the effects of their wounds after weeks or months of agony. By which time world attention will have shifted to the next atrocity.

You're not using "directly targeting" in the usual sense.

You are correct here, also. My phrasing was intended moralistically, in the sense of "They knew very well that the pagers would be noisily distributed, and that a large number of civilian deaths, likely including minors, would inevitably happen as a direct result of their actions.") In retrospect it was a poor choice of words.
> So what's the problem exactly?

They all have the samé problem: that you don't know the name (or even the number) of modules (module files) being generated without reading the source.
And as a bonus every compiler uses a sligthly different naming scheme for the generated module file (this is of course no problem for OCaml ;).

As an example (using Fortran). File `test.f90`:

module first

contains

subroutine hello ()
end subroutine hello

end module first

module second

contains

subroutine world ()
end subroutine world

end module second

`gfortran -c test.f90` yields the following files (2 of them are modules):

-rw-r--r-- 1 roland staff 221 Sep 21 19:07 first.mod
-rw-r--r-- 1 roland staff 225 Sep 21 19:07 second.mod

All this will be an interesting side note in the history of language models in the next eight months when roughly 1.5 billion iPhone users will get a local language model tied seamlessly to a mid-tier cloud based language model native in their OS.

What I think will be interesting is seeing which of the open models stick around and for how long when we have super easy ‘good enough’ models that provide quality integration. My bet is not many, sadly. I’m sure Llama will continue to be developed, and perhaps Mistral will get additional European government support, and we’ll have at least one offering from China like Qwen, and Bytedance and Tencent will continue to compete a-la Google and co. But, I don’t know if there’s a market for ten separately trained open foundation models long term.

I’d like to make sure there’s some diversity in research and implementation of these in the open access space. It’s a critical tool for humans, and it seems possible to me that leaders will be able to keep extending the gap for a while; when you’re using that gap not just to build faster AI, but do other things, the future feels pretty high volatility right now. Which is interesting! But, I’d prefer we come out of it with people all over the world having access to these.
How about we start cryptographically signing recordings by devices as they are made? Using the security features of modern SoCs, we could give vetted apps access to record audio/video/photos and guarantee authenticity with manufacturers' signature.

If we can get hardware encoders to interface with the hashing code, it might even be open to any camera app (as long as they store the feed unmodified, the hash matches).

This limits an ability to edit (as cryptographic hash is invalidated) even for rightful purposes like cutting out irrelevant parts.

You citing the appearance of the Model S Plaid at "youtube drag races" reflects more of your lack of understanding than my own.

My theory based on nothing but internal reflections

A lot of people's minds are raised from a young age to make judgements and comparisons with others. Their minds are told that one must be useful to be valuable, and that simply _being_ isn't enough.

Over time those bad habits of the mind are so ingrained and automatic that we assume them to be part of "me". "My" thoughts, "my" ideas and so we don't question their assumptions or where they came from.

It takes conscious effort to be able to change those habits into something more positive, or to be able to center your mind to a point where those habits seen as just other thoughts and don't have the same "weight" behind them.

We're an ever changing process and being able to judge and adjust is a useful skill. It's just that doing that doesn't require all of the crap we put ourselves through due to unchecked assumptions.

Hey, I'm glad to hear that. Some years back I came across a great online test, one created by autistic people. I can't find it now, but I strongly remember the graph, which showed a bimodal distribution and marked my place on it. [1] In the years following it was such a help, in that I could without judgement see how I and others related. It let me stop worrying so much about trying to be "right" and focus on being right for me.

As long as I'm mentioning things that helped, I'll recommend this online alexithymia test: https://www.alexithymia.us/test-alexithymia

It looks at ability to perceive one's own feelings. Once I realized that I was relatively bad at it, it was such a relief. And in the years since I've gotten a lot better, because I knew I needed to work harder at it than the average person.

Imagine what the oceans would be like if we still kept dumping trash into them like was common in the 1970s, much less the nuclear waste dumping that Cousteau helped stop some 10 years previous.

Surely some of the reasons for stronger protection came from people who had seen all those amazing underwater videos of life under the sea, narrated by the engaging French voice revealing his love and joy for the ocean.

I can't find a prediction of his that the ocean would be dead. I did find this regarding coral reefs, from https://scitechdaily.com/jacques-cousteau-predicted-detrimen...

> Over dinner on R.V. Calypso while anchored on the lee side of Glover’s Reef in Belize, Jacques Cousteau told Phil Dustan that he suspected humans were having a negative impact on coral reefs. Dustan—a young ocean ecologist who had worked in the lush coral reefs of the Caribbean and Sinai Peninsula—found this difficult to believe. It was December 1974.

> But Cousteau was right. During the following three-plus decades, Dustan, an ocean ecologist and biology professor at the University of Charleston in South Carolina, has witnessed widespread coral reef degradation and bleaching from up close. In the late 1970s Dustan helped build a handheld spectrometer, a tool to measure light given off by the coral. Using his spectrometer, Dustan could look at light reflected and made by the different organisms that comprised the living reefs. Since then, he has watched reefs deteriorate at an alarming rate.

I quote now from https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/5-ways-ja...

> Cousteau ultimately gathered nine million signatures from around the world, and in 1997 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization made a declaration on the responsibilities of present generations toward future ones that included language about environmental preservation and the responsibility to “bequeath to future generations an Earth which will not one day be irreversibly damaged by human activity.”

> Cousteau spoke on those obligations at the UN conference he had attended in 1992. “Future generations would not forgive us for having deliberately spoiled their last opportunity,” he said. “Let us stop this delayed-action genocide! Let us cease thinking only of ourselves and reasoning only in the short term....This is our responsibility, as we hold in our hands the future of tomorrow’s exacting generations.”

But Cousteau was right.

Isn't it the opposite? If they had flipped their views of electric cars based on the politics of who made them that would demonstrate they were more interested in culture wars than science or technology, but they didn't: their views on the merits of EVs remained the same.
