I'm sorry but you are showcasing everything that's wrong with the python packaging /environment ecosystem. You list 10 tools which all work to varying degrees of overlap between each other. Which one should one use? And you don't even need to answer that because the answer changes every year. Last year it was poetry, this year it's uv. Next year it will be some other silly attempt.

This is a bad joke. It's a mature language where the answer to: "I want to manage my programming language version and installed libraries" is that you have to try a dozen different tools, each of which will cover some but not all of your requirements to do this one simple thing.

> I've used all of these tools successfully (at different times and/or for different use cases).

And you see nothing wrong with that? Pretty much every modern language has one way (or at most just a small handful of ways) to build a library and manage your dependencies/environment. The reason is that packaging and environment management is a side show. A necessary evil we have to do so that the actual crux of our work can be done. When I set out on a project, I don't say: "I want to spend a week figuring out which is the current environment management tool supported by the python mindshare". I don't want to deal with a dozen different ways of installing the dependencies of a package. This is insane. When I pick up a language, I want to know what is the way of managing dependencies and packaging up my stuff. And I don't want this to change on a yearly basis, doubly so for a mature language.

> If you think a language that has just one tool is better, then it just means your use-cases are very narrow.

Yes, I prefer that there's a choice of tools for say time series analysis or running a web service. Competition in those areas is good. That's how innovation is driven forward.

When it comes to package and environment management, I don't want innovation, I want stability. I want one agreed way to do it so that I don't need to fuck around with things which are completely orthogonal to the work I actually want to do and that will put bread on the table. I don't want to spend brain cycles keeping up to date with yet another hare brained way of defining what is a python package.

In my view, the reason why we are in this quagmire is because the roots of python are in a fairly simple scripting language, and the packaging has not well escaped these roots. You can have loose python files, you can have directories containing python files which are automagically modules, then we had to hack in a way to package collections of modules and manage their different versions. It's all hacks upon hacks upon hacks, and it has to be backwards compatible all the way to being able to run a loose python file.

I'm not saying this is easy to solve. It's the posterchild of the "Situation: there are 15 competing standards" XKCD. The time to solve it would've been 15 years ago while Guido was still the BDFL. There are too many stakeholders now to get any sort of consensus.
You fool! And I say that affectionately. Another fool says: the security of Bitcoin relies on the inability to (among other things) derive a private key from a public key. This is just basic cryptography, like Turning vs enigma. This machine can "calculate" solutions to problems in time frames that break the whole way that cryptocurrency works. You better believe that what we hear about is old. These types of systems, and there must be non-public versions, could solve a private key from a public key, in easy less than O(fu) time.

EDIT: it's like rainbow hashes, but every possible variation is a color, not granular like binary, but all and any are included.
> that uses a tool that is not yet in mise registry

Yes, you can directly get tools from npm/pypi/cargo/github-releases/asdf-plugins/vfox-plugins without anyone touching the mise registry. The registry is just a convenient index of short names e.g. "fzf@0.56.3" maps to ubi:junegunn/fzf@0.56.3 which will download the appropriate arch binary from the v0.56.3 junegunn/fzf GitHub release.

> if I want to provide a python runtime that is compiled slightly differently

The default uses precompiled binaries, but with one setting it can use python-build/pyenv under the hood, then all the pyenv env vars can be used to configure the build process.
Yeap :)

There are plenty of very long-term studies going on where groups are identified and then followed over years or decades.

Another approach is today you might go looking for people with different levels of airborne lead exposure as a child, and then compare the average income today to see if their is correlation etc. In these kinds of studies the treatment groups weren't wittingly part of the experiment, but you can look backwards.

Either way, in 20 years we'll probably be able to identify schools where AI texts predominated earlier than other schools and, adjusting for other factors, try and tease out the actual impact of that choice.
Yes, check it out here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JeffreyXiang/TRELLIS
I'm not sure that's an issue? It would be an odd refactor to add a new side effect to the query you didn't want to apply across the board.

More likely you would introduce a new query that would get a new function call.

usersWithCountBetween(a, b)

vs

enabledUsersWithCountBetween(a,b)

If you mean, how to handle the addition of a new enabled flag that is passed in, that too would either require refactoring or a new function.

These aren't really things I would consider a problem but maybe I'm missing something?

Oh and you can configure the number of params before it replaces the params with an interface so things like this are easier to manage over time.
tl;dr It's the acid. Drink only water.

The issue is that soft drinks are generally bad for cardiovascular health, whether sugar sweetened or not.

https://doi.org/10.1001/jamainternmed.2019.2478

Plausible mechanism is that acidic drinks cause tooth enamel degradation, and poor dental health is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

How would you phrase that question in opencyc?
It plays a nice song to the 'einstein/newton was wrong' crowd, and it is philosophically interesting to think that our observations validating Newton second law were (at the time) only made on earth.

And some MOND derivatives are interesting, TeVeS is mathematically nice. I'm pretty sure most people working on those do it for the math more than to be correct tbh, but people way more competent than me work on this subject and I would not dare claim knowing they're wrong or lying.

I would think that getting rid of the evidence is the integral part of planning a crime. Otherwise it is sloppiness. There is a lot of ways to do such things I am sure, but you have to thought it through before. He didn't or the adrenaline was too much for him.
I'm not a mathematician so please bear with me here

I am a mathematician, so please bear with me when I try to explain how this can work.

The rational numbers are countable, and that means that I can write a list of them. There are several ways of doing this, but personally I like the Calkin-Wilf tree[0]. That only gives the positive ones, but we can include zero and the negative ones by interleaving them.

So, whatever interval you choose, there are infinitely more reals outside the interval as inside (by that I mean that you can fit an infinite number of copies of that interval up to infinity). So the probability e is not >0, it is effectively 0.

One you have chosen the two numbers, L and U, I note that there are rational numbers in between. Choose one of those numbers, call it M.

M is in my list above. Now I roll a die, discarding numbers from the list until I get a 6. There is a non-zero probability that the number retained is M, so there is a non-zero probability that my chosen number is between L and U. So e is definitely non-zero.

The second problem is, what does it mean to choose a real at random?

It doesn't have to be uniformly at random -- that's the mistake nearly everyone makes -- and the above process does it perfectly well. It only ever chooses a rational number, but that's OK. It's still a real number, it's still a random number, and for any non-empty interval, there is a non-zero chance the chosen number is inside.

... as a human living in the finite universe there are limitations to your choice.

Yes, but that is accounted for in the explicit description of how to choose the number.

Any number you can write using all the atoms in the universe is infinitely outnumbered by all numbers that you can't.

Again, this is accounted for by the fact that we are not choosing uniformly at random.

This was a classic, must-read book back in the day .. but these days, I think that Loopops Incomplete Guide of Electronic Music Ideas, Tips and Tricks is a better investment of ones time. Its just more broadly applicable and far more dense in terms of tooling and methodology.

https://www.docdroid.net/3K4UL8i/loopop-toc-pdf

In general, screeds documenting the theory and technique of electronic music would be better served if their authors didn't orient the works around a particular tool or method - such as Puredata, in this case. Even those PD is indeed an extremely powerful tool, its not really all-encompassing when it comes to making Electronic Music - its a digital tool, and electronic music covers the gamut from analog to digital and beyond...
We welcome everyone to share their valuable suggestions.
Thinking of lots of EMs I've known or worked with who used to code, across quite a few companies, its really a factor of their tenure in role. At first a bright young engineer IC taking the EM track will try to keep being an engineer and keep coding. But with time they get bored with this and realise it has no correlation with how their manager measures their success etc, and they get over that fad and coast. YMMV.
No citizenship is a major factor. For example, Syrians are a very red flag in many countries and many banks outright denies them service. If you are from North Korea, you'd be delusional to think that you can just show up at a "western" bank and walk out with a bank card.

It is known that people who consume sugary drinks are at higher risk of death from disgestive diseases, which is less so for people who consume artificially-sweetened drinks. So there may be a causal link.

Physical discomforts of writing a novel on a smartphone aside, I am trying to wrap my head around trying to do the same with a device that needs T9 as input. I type slow on a touchscreen as it is, frequently losing my train of thought before I can get my whole comment out, the comments themselves often turning into meandering adventures in Fuzzy Logic Land as a result. I cannot imagine banging one out on a number pad, and I lived through that era, even working a job where cell phones were a no-no so we got pretty good at firing off quick texts without having to look at the keys. Short messages? Can do. Lengthy HN replies? Count me out.

I never said it was correct, but people smarter than me work on this and I do not have the scientific baggage to say they're wrong.

I made SmoothTrack, a no-equipment head tracking app for iOS and Android which lets you control the game camera in sim games (like MSFS 2024 for example) with your head - basically like TrackIR, just without any equipment and for $15 instead of $150. I originally made the app just for myself to save myself the money of buying a TrackIR system, but then /r/flightsim begged me to release it as a full app.

Last month, I released SmoothTrack 2.0 which includes basic eye tracking and camera control gestures.

I thought is would be one of those hard movies, made for critics and dated in the 2020's, but no it was a solid and great watch.

Le salaire de la peur ("The Wages of Fear") is B&W and (1953), it can be done later. It is the original and 'better' but foreign films often get a ratings bump. Both are outstanding (S: 7.7 vs WoF: 8.1 IMDB)

They didn’t keep it under wraps, it’s just the team considered the paper shipping not the product. They still shipped the papers that decentralized the knowledge.

> Finally, a realizable filter, whose frequency response is always a continuous function of frequency, must have a frequency band over which the gain drops from the passband gain to the stopband gain; this is called the transition band. The thinner this band can be made, the more nearly ideal the filter.

Perhaps ideal from some mathematical view, but musically, a brick wall filter could sound like shit where a lower order filter would be fine, because in that situation, you need a more nuanced blend of the range of frequencies than taking everything at 100% amplitude below the wall, and 0% above.
There's an example in the article. If the account is owned by a company and it goes bankrupt, the account no longer contains money even though your computer says it does. So if anyone reverses a deposit quickly enough your computer is going to let it through and you're paying for it.

Show HN: Christmas themed word search generator
I made a Christmas themed word search generator. I built it while planning some fun family games and activities for Christmas and thought that perhaps other people might enjoy it.

It currently isn’t interactive; you are given an image that gets downloaded so you can print it or do whatever you like with it.

Eventually I’ll expand it to have other themes and word lists. The UI is quite simplistic currently.

It’s written in C#/.NET. It shares some code with another project I’m working on that generates and solves mazes.

I may have time to add the ability to add your own words in a few days.
Back in the 90's, I created something like a mortgage calculator on my HP48gx. It was about 1500 "lines" (a line being maybe at most 30 chars) , all keyed in using only the calculator. The mind is capable of many things.
If you means that it would be like this:

var Z = S(S(K(S(S)(K(S(S(K)(K))(S(K)(K))))))(K))(S(K(S(S)(K(S(S(K)(K))(S(K)(K))))))(K));

Unfortunately not works with the `count_fn` function from the wikipedia page :(, `too much recursion`.
