With the BeautifulSoup tests I can run 1000s of tests in seconds. Cypress/Playwright are wonderful for e2e tests, but not comparable to simple unit tests you'd have in React/Vue. I find that the BeautifulSoup tests are a decent middle ground.

Yes. One of our juniors found a candidate's Yelp page. The level of awfulness on display there almost had me wondering if it was caricature.

I feel like only in places like Chicago could this have worked. It's like the water system in Chicago, just massive. And everyone just shrugs and says, "Dig 100 miles of deep tunnel and massive reservoirs? Yep. Let's get 'er done."

A lot of places I've lived, things like that wouldn't fly. I was equally amazed at Phoenix with their, what I can only call a "strategic water reserve".

A lot of thought and money goes into stuff like that.

I get the strong sense that in most American cities if you would have told the population that we all need to undertake a massive public work, (Oh, and pay for it by the way), they would yank you from office and tell you to go F yourself.
Those battles will always exist and need to be fought.
I think it's more because Conda has explicitly positioned itself for a specific domain (scientific Python) and because Linux distributions aren't operating at the same level of specificity. The success of uv has demonstrated that Python packaging tools don't need PSF or PyPA affiliation to be extremely popular; they just have to be good.

But this final claim is essentially right: PSF can suggest things, and the community will (to some extent) accept those suggestions as blessed. But this doesn't mean that the PSF can dictate what would essentially be a significant breaking change to pip's behavior.

I know several people who live in those "non-residential" areas you describe.

For example, https://www.google.com/maps/place/9+Rideau+St,+Ottawa,+ON+K1... is a condo building.
Dijkstra was not wrong. Modern programmers are wrong in thinking that the goto that they use is what Dijkstra was talking about, merely because of the fact it happens to be called the same thing. I mean, I get how that can happen, no sarcasm, but the goto Dijkstra was talking about and what is in a modern language is not the same. https://jerf.org/iri/post/2024/goto/

The goto Dijkstra is talking about is dead. It lives only in assembler. Even BASIC doesn't have it anymore in any modern variant. Modern programmers do not need to live in fear of modern goto because of how awful it was literally 50 years ago.
That's exactly what a superintelligent AI would say...
Nothing will change because no Canadian government will lower house prices and that's what absolutely needs to happen.

2024 was a banner year for voting against the incumbent governments worldwide. Globally we have a cost-of-living crisis, a housing affordability crisis and a years-long decrease in the standard-of-living. Generally speaking, each country has 3 forces that are in play:

1. Progressives;

2. Neoliberals / centrists; and

3. Outright fascists.

The French election was a prime example of how this plyas out. Macron, a centrist, very much sided with the fascists rather than the progressives, such as who he picked to be Prime Minister after the snap election he called.

Some say the UK is an outlier with Labor winning a massive victory. It is not. The former Labor leader, Jeremy Corbyn, was weakened by a divided electorate so he could be character-assassinated in a coordinated campaign alleging anti-semitism to be replaced by a neoliberal centrist (Keir Starmer). Starmer actually got significantly fewer votes than Corbyn did in his two elections. All that happened was the right-wing vote got split between Conservatives and Reform.

The US election played out similarly. Despite evidence of Biden's cognitive decline being apparent as early as of Spring 2021, he ran for reelection and was supported by the Democratic establishment right up until a disastrous debate performance made clear his position was untenable. Nancy Pelosi reportedly wanted an open primary at the convention. Instead Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democratic establishment feared a progressive candidate would win a primary.

So we got a Wall Street approved centrist neoliberal platform that disrupted nothing and gave absolutely nothing to working people and had a policy platform on many issues (eg the death penalty, Israel-Palestine, immigration, deregulation) with almost no daylight between it and the Trump platform.

Unsurprisingly that platform lost, badly. Predictably.

The point here is that in every election, neoliberals are way more comfortable with (and will side with) fascists than leftists or pgoressives.

Voters, eager for change, will choose populism because they aren't being offered any alternative. But nobody wants to address the root causes here: housing unaffordability and massive wealthy inequality.

Too many people are invested in their house as an investment, as their nest-egg. House prices absolutely have to come down and nobody wants to hear that. Canada is a real estate bubble, just like pretty much every other Western nation.

People will cling to their house prices as society crumbles around them.
That doesn't make much sense, at least in this particular case. ChainPartrol's website describes themselves as "Real-time Brand Protection for Leading Web3 Companies", so it's unlikely that youtube creators would subscribe to such a service. Maybe if they were issuing takedown request for other "Web3 Companies" this allegation would have some merit, but that's not what happened here.
Vec4 is a vector, but yes C++ base vec is not.

In some ways CS is more correct with the modern (abstract) algebra definition of a vector, vs the historical didactics arrow concept.

Tensor has been abused, it is a property of bilinear maps, and as matrix multiplication is a bilinear operation there is a concept overlap there.

Vectors are really just elements of a vector space, not necessarily arrows.

Ask HN: How Do Google Willow's Results Affect Quantum Computing Timelines?
As a model question, I think it is most interesting to consider when RSA-2048 will be factored using a quantum computer. Are we going to see the internet's cryptography breaking much sooner than expected?

Edit: Also curious if any experts have hard dates when they expect this milestone to be reached.
The movie was based on the (indisputable?) fact that intelligence is heritable- but not Eugenics, which takes that a step further and advocates for people deciding which other people are inferior and superior and organizing society around that. One could argue that the movie tries to make a case for eugenics, but it didn’t directly do so. I think the movie could also be seen as looking at culture instead of genetics, and also assuming that is passed down from parents.

I agree that it does wrongly depict poverty as a major indicator of intelligence.

> But the point remains that the constitution is absolutely horrible for minorities.

Tell that to gay people who got to get married because of it—even though there is nothing about the topic in the Charter. This was before it was probably fully accepted socially, and I doubt any politician wanted to make the move.

See also perhaps abortion under the Morgentaler decision in the 1980s, when society was much more conservative.

You can probably say the same thing about euthanasia (which the SCC disallowed in 1993 (Rodriguez, [1993] 3 SCR 519) and then insisted upon more recently, which gave us the euphemistically named MAID).
The philosophy of a tool like htmx encourages the opposite of "avoiding learning new things". The reality is that there is not often anything that is truly novel. We waste time by failing to recognize patterns and abstractions that persist over long periods of time and in many cases that are even foundational knowledge.

A foundational fact by definition does not need to be constantly scrutinized as if it were not. Rather it is something that can be relied upon stably until such a time that a change in a core assumption forces us to reevaluate the foundation if and when that scenario occurs.
It's not so much that we're blaming immigrants, anyone doing so isn't appreciating that something like the situation we're in is the result of multifaceted fuckery; an economic failure at some scale. Many types and waves of immigrants are involved—most recent ones being thrown under the bus unfortunately—but generally Canadians accept immigrants more than not, it's just that the rate was intentionally increased haphazardly to such a degree on top of an already abysmal outlook for anyone who wouldn't stand to profit off of increased population.

If you had a big house in Vancouver, if you are a developer, if you are a certain type of business owner, you were riding high. If you're anyone else, your resume is now one among a thousand for almost any low-med skilled position, and the most viable cities were already! sitting at a ~1% vacancy, which is a real life pressing problem. Immigration numbers are a part of this, but not remotely close to the whole picture.

In some cases the biggest development companies are also foreign and have been extremely present in shaping things https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/expo-86-chin...

For better and worse.
I'm embarrassed to admit it but I found out this game has an ending.
I think 26-45 might be the more realistic ideal range. Even then, if you have chronic health problems, godspeed.

There's certainly more wealth available if you have the means to get it though.
Yes, I feared as much. Perhaps trying to get a copy of Piouffe’s inverter would be possible, but I don't know.
Yes. My entire life since I attained voting age has been choosing between a douche and a turd (South Park reference for those not immediately getting the context). I get more and more weary with each election cycle.
You think the US has not been doing exactly the same thing? What do you think the patriot act was? There are a million examples of this.
If your first primary goal with a product line is that it will turn a profit per sale from the start, then you kinda have to start with the cost of goods sold as your baseline. If a customer pays you less than the product or service costs to provide, then by definition you priced it wrong for that initial / first step goal.

We are indeed in an era where AI is "learning" from AI generated content fueling a positive feedback loop of shitty content.
You haven’t gotten very far if you think that’s all the game requires.
Was at a company for ten years and same thing.

Although what happened was slightly different. I was a developer. Came in fresh faced and worked my ass off. Took on additional work, went to copious amounts of conferences, networked outside of team constantly, always finished my Sprint work ahead of time. Did everything a high performing dev would do. On a scale of 1-5, I was ranked a 3 (meeting expectations), barely any bonus, barely any salary increase.

I was like, "WTF?!?!" and was naturally pretty pissed. Next year? Barely did anything. Came into the office for morning standup, left, worked from home rest of the day. I constantly took afternoons off, Still got work done on time, did the absolute minimal amount of work. I was "silently quitting" before anybody ever coined the phrase. Next years review? Yeap, you guessed it, another 3.

That pretty much confirmed to me that nothing was ever going to change if I was working my ass off or just doing the absolute minimal amount of work. This lasted another two years before they finally offshored my team and I left the company with several great references.

It was a great lesson to learn that its just a game, and you either do everything to stand out which has a high mental and emotional cost, or you simply refuse to play the game, retain your sanity, and look at your job as simply a means to an end as opposed to a satisfying career.

The recent resurgence of Bluesky would suggest that, on one of the article's main points about civility/toxicity/moderation, arbitrarily set rules can lead to an exodus and migration to greener pastures. Same is true of the author's own actions, e.g. with the payments provider. So while you cannot change a company, you can often just change companies.

If there's a better system for reviewing businesses than Google Maps, by all means, I'll try it out, but the information it gives me as a customer (often, even if not always, and with all other possible caveats) is too valuable for me to simply stop using. Otherwise, the information asymmetry is a nearly complete one, unless I rely on personal recommendations, which is very often not feasible. It has served me very well for what, 12-15 years now? I'll take the occasional sociopath review, those are more rare than insinuated in the article anyway.
This is true, but sometimes the opposite is also true. Case in point, HomePod sucked so much they never became useful. It was discontinued
It’s about using the right tools for the job. FAANG and developer advocates made the web needlessly complex for most people. The over-engineered tools and frameworks became the “default” way of programming for the web, loosing some strong key features that were good about it: simplicity, transparency, and speed.
On the other hand, 3B1B's audience tends to heavily bias towards the tech crowd. I'm at a FAANG, and a decent number of our senior engineers know the channel.

I agree it's not enough to directly push policy, but the impact is certainly larger than what the subscriber count might otherwise suggest.
Or slide rule! That devil, it wrote the homework of our granddads!
I think it should be rare that a guest of yours spontaneously decides to beat you up without generating any other evidence. So I think we can wiggle out of having to totally solve this problem by emphasizing:

> Maybe we should not lock up *very many people* for whom there isn’t any hard evidence of their guilt.

This should be very rare, so even if we caught everybody who spontaneously beat up their hosts, there still wouldn’t be very many people in this category.

This doesn’t mean we don’t have to investigate any crimes of course. It is important for the legal system to work for victims too. But if you get beat up and point to some guest of yours, an investigation can start, a search warrant can be generated, we can see if they’ve discussed it with anybody, etc etc.
The intro of the movie makes it pretty clear that their premise is "IQ is heritable, and stupid people have more kids." It's not a coincidence that the "high IQ" couple is portrayed as wealthy and the "low IQ" people are shown as poor.

> Wait until it is done weaning to start using it's mother's milk.

Then what happens to the calf? They raise it to the end of it's natural lifespan as a pet? Are male and female calves treated differently?

> Most Dairy cows don't need to have a calf to produce milk.

I can't find anything to corroborate this. Every source I find on the topic says dairy cows produce milk for up to about one year after giving birth, then they need to be re-impregnated to begin producing milk again. Do you have a source for this claim?
Alterate ranked voting somewhat addresses the idea of needing to strategically vote (favorite betrayal) in favour of your ideal candidate, but only to a degree depending on the parties and initial polling support (a runaway party you don't like will still lead to strategically voting for the party most likely to beat them). Its proportional in that the winners have to get at the most amount of votes across the ranks after eliminations, i.e. you can't win if no one picks you as second/third option, so you have to be picked by someone therefore you are considered to be representing them.

STV does a much better job of it and is why I was strongly in support of STV over AR/MMP or other options.
My attempt at a neutral view:

- housing costs have skyrocketed and econmic growth has been lackluster

-- more importantly liberals have failed to articulate a convincing plan on this

- conservatives have been wildly succesful in the polls,causing the liberal party to fragment internally, which just further makes them look like they dont know what they are doing.

- trudeau has been in power a long time, people want change

- across the globe incumbants are having problems.

In terms of the grandparent, i don't really think there is much damage. I guess there is a high budget deficit. Not sure what that poster is referring to.
The funniest thing here is the complete disconnect with what is really going on. It's been ignored for years, but now it's a bit more obvious.

What is the point of homework? It's supposed to be self-directed learning and reinforcement.

But what is homework really? It's often confusing. It's time-consuming; you already spent 8 hours at school, and now you're spending more hours "at school" at home. If you can't get it, you have to hope your family members will help you (many can't or won't or simply aren't there, for many reasons). It takes a whole day (or more) to get the school's feedback and help (if it's available). And it's never fun.

Growing up, it took me countless hours to work through 10 math problems, because I had a learning disability. I find processing abstract non-visual information very hard. It made it worse that I had no practical problems to work through, no visual or audible feedback, no different ways to look at the problem. The school didn't care and the homework didn't change just for me. My parents sat with me for hours but my brain just wouldn't work.

For years I was given 1-on-1 tutoring, where the tutor struggled to get me to focus and try to solve the simplest things. At 15, I learned programming and developed computer programs in order to try to figure out the problems and answer them (if I could figure out how it worked in code, that would explain it enough that I could understand). It took longer, but I could actually understand them if I gave myself a different way of looking at and solving the problem. And for some reason, I, a child, was the person who had to figure out my own learning models and alternatives; the god damn "professionals" would be fine with me banging my head against a wall and failing.

ChatGPT isn't the problem. Homework is just stupid. This rote abstract learning model applied uniformly to everyone is stupid. The giant amount of time needed after already spending all day at school is stupid. The things we are forced to learn at school, which we promptly forget, are stupid. Young people's education itself is stupid.

Here I am, a 40 year old man, forgotten almost everything I learned in school. Yet I make a good salary, I can take care of myself. And I don't solve math problems manually, I ask a computer to solve them for me. Because why the hell would I do an error-prone human task manually when a machine will do it right? In fact, I am learning math right now, because I am building a shed and other wood projects. I've learned more about geometry and trig in the past 2 weeks than in the past 40 years, because I have a real-world thing that I can understand, and something fun to work on that makes me proud when I finish it. It's self-directed, and I'm using a ton of resources on the internet to figure it out, but I'm doing it. It's sinking in. If I had that as a kid, I'd be a damn math genius by now.
Of course, disability rights and accessibility is a struggle for people all around the planet.
To be fair, it's not an unfair response. Being able to hire for a technology, and having a large community around the tech stack you use has tangible value.

HTMX might not be something that will vanish in a week, but it's also nowhere close to a mainstream framework.
Not to mention China already banned foreign owned social media from within its own borders.

So if nothing else, it’s just a reciprocal trade policy.
To my ears, this is like my 10 year old nephew explaining why his favorite pro wrestler would never be a heel. "Also", he asks, "what's a heel?"
The kid doesn't care at all about the problems she's asked to solve. I considered that normal until recently. Now I'm increasingly surprised that no one bats an eye that we're forcing kids to learn. Naturally that has little success.

I heard someone say "adapt the lesson to the student's excitement, not the excitement to the lesson". I think that's a foundation for something wholesome, though, admittedly, I struggle imagining how I would do that if I had a kid.
And copyright doesn’t give the ability to fight any of that is the point. This all sounds like abuse of DMCA process.
Potential harm can definitely be actual harm. Some folks use intimidation to control others behavior. Intimidation can be seen as potential harm, but if people are intimidated into changing their behavior because of fear of violence, them that is actual harm.

I'm thinking of the January 6 2017 riot at the Capitol. The vice president could very well have caved to those chanting "hang Mike Pence" out of fear.
I feel like its sentiment like this why the liberal party is heading for a historic collapse.

"Everything is fine, just cancel disney+"

Like young people are struggling... really badly and it seems like the government has done everything they can to make it worse.

Most people I've met really don't Like Pierre Pollieve (myself included) but to say the current governments ineptness is propaganda is actually insane.
I doubt that any of those parents would be receptive to concerns or criticism. I can only hope that in 20, 50, or 100 years, absent-minded parenting is going to be widely recognized as a form of child abuse.
I thought it was insane just hand-clicking but this legitimately made it overwhelming to the point where I had to close the tab.
> No. In the movie, President Camacho recognized the smart guy was smart and wanted him to help because he was smart. We don't have leaders with that kind of wisdom and good intentions.

Also, Joe seemed genuinely interested in helping everyone, and didn't seem to neglect the needs of significant portions of the population to achieve some ideological goal or another.

Maybe there's such a thing as being too smart to have power.
YouTube’s “three strikes” policy is their implementation of the DMCA’s “repeat infringers” requirement:

The result is the same. If a manager can’t judge whether their employees are trustworthy they are not competent for the job.
