It’s funny, a few groups I belong to solely use FB. One group is for the preservation of weatern history and a friend digitizes and uploads thousands of pictures (if not 10s of rhoughsands) yearly. The only actual digital copies are on FB. It bugs me that he won’t archive elsewhere. The reason is fb is a commons and an additional backup would be a magnitude more work. I’ve offered to buy hard drives.
Nobody is born with it. The condition is auto immune. Also it's not exactly the lucid dreams that make you feel tired. It's the lack of deeper cycles of sleep.

What do you mean that the cataplexy is a side effect of medication? Did you not experience it before treatment? And which medication causes it for you?
I don't know enough about the statisical image processing to measure weak gravitational lensing to have a cogent answer, but also it's totally ok to have one or two things that don't quite match up.

Some of the "there's no DM" or "there's almost entirely DM" diffuse galaxies are likely due to measurement error in the distance to the diffuse galaxy, for example.

This is false, at least in my very thin exposure to the company: I interviewed for a team last year which was maintaining EC2 SSH keys using MySQL.

Thanks, yeah I've been using LÖVE for everything since I made this.

Only way to live, IMO. I can't make networked apps yet, but that's coming soon to LÖVE.
Adding in a 100k iteration or so busyloop to the beginning of the food segment should do the trick and only add a few bytes. You could do something fancy with the clock interrupt, which is a bit more portable and stable, but might cost a few more bytes.
It's more for either monorepos or in my case, to fix packages that have bugs but that I can't fix upstream.

So for me, in my specific case, the freetype-py repo has a rather big issue with Unicode paths (it will crash the app if the path is in Unicode).

There's a PR but it hasn't and probably won't get merged for dubious reasons.

The easy choice, the one that actually is the most viable, is to pull the repo with the patch applied, temporarily add it to my ./vendored folder and just ideally change the requirements.txt with no further changes (or need to create a new pypi package). But it's basically impossible since I just can't use relative paths like that.

Again it's rather niche but that's just one of the many problems I keep encountering. packaging anything with CUDA is still far worse, for example.
Well if you had enough different stations, you'd get white noise. I guess if you just listen to white noise you could say you're listening to everything at once.

The radio stations will interfere with each other. The more stations, the more interference.

Overton windows pertain to mainstream opinions [1]. Particle physics shouldn’t be subject to mainstream opinion.

Yeah, that's not exactly the problematic situation... but the good news is I improved the Python's error message for this in 3.13. See https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-...
> Well, sure; Pip can't respect a version pin that doesn't exist anywhere in your project. If the specific version of Pandas you want says that it's okay with a range of Numpy versions, then of course Pip has freedom to choose one of those versions. If that matters, you explicitly specify it

Nearly every other language solves this better than this. What your suggesting breaks down on large projects.
So many ads and scrolling jumping around the page, such a mess of unreadable content old friend zdnet
Yes. Besides Qubes users, a big population of software rendering users is people who have old and/or buggy drivers that are blacklisted by Firefox.
I can't really agree with that, if basically nobody who is called a word doesn't care about it, it is a waste of effort. Maybe if the world lacked the millions of other far more pressing problems, but it seems like a complete waste of attention span to care about. Even if we change all these "offensive" terms that were once derogatory but now in regular neutral usage with minimal efforts and no resistance, what was actually accomplished other than some trivia question being eliminated?

In 50 years or so, people will just say the next round of terms is insensitive, especially as language continues to change and evolve, and repeat on forever.
been using conda for years with multiple projects each of which has numerous environments (for different versions). fairly large complex environments with coda, tf, jax, etc. has always worked well, and my biggest complaint - the sluggish resolver - largely addressed with mamba resolver. packages not available on conga-forge can be installed into the conda env pip. maybe I'm missing something but it's not clear to me what advantage uv would provide over conda.
Yeah social media has gotten very predatory, especially since short form content blew up due to TikTok. I’ll have chats with people that are just an exchange of instagram reels and reactions.

HN is my only form of social media now on my phone. Now, it’s time to build meaningful relationships in my life again.
Until very recently my wife thought it was a SIM card.
The power point is not true. Game engines are forced to be efficient and can use little power if the number of game objects they're managing is limited.

The power usage I see is: web browser running a document << game engine running a simple UI << web browser running a simple UI on wasm << game engine running a serious AAA game.

The accessibility point is very valid.
As other comment noted, it's under Get Info. It's hidden a bit but it's been like that for decades.
Pointlessly obfuscating communication is not "good behavior". Hope that clears things up. There is nothing good about this.
I don't know about other people but social media doesn't make me feel worse about my life. There's no fomo when my 2nd cousin in another state posts about having a baby. She's important to me, and I don't expect her to waste time emailing me directly when the rest of the extended family is all on social media.
Does that really work? I haven't used one of these for a while but if I recall they're quite keen to take content that your friends/family have engaged with and ram it down your throat in hopes that you will too. It seems like you'd need all of your friends/family to do the same thing.
Honestly, I doubt anybody cares that much. It's pretty much an open secret predicated on the untested idea that training is fair use, and the stakes aren't really that high in the long run even if it's not.

Losses for the tech companies will just mean training data gets more expensive. They're all spending tens of billions on new data centers, so there's not even a question of whether they can afford it.
Are you saying that the article does include both A) what the proposed industrial project is, and B) why it is being proposed at this site?

Or did you misunderstand me and think I was suggesting it should say those things about the observatory? In which, yes, it very clearly makes the case for the value of the observatory and what will be lost with the construction of the Industrial Park. And that's the only information it provides. That's the point I was maknig. It's a nakedly one sided article, with a clear activist agenda. Every story has two sides.

It is entirely possible that the other side could be "it's a facotry that digs holes and fills them back in and it was chosen by throwing a dart at a map" in which case every single person would rightfully agree that it shouldnt go there.

Or, it could be a factory that is going to store the entirety of South America's CO2 output underground safely and cheaply and it can literally only go there because of a completely unique geological formation.

In which case, a reasonable person might think it's worth it.

Or, more likely, something well in between those two things.

But the reader doesn't know because the article says nothing. That's a bad article. I would hope that no matter what ones views on the importance of dark skies and earth-based astronomy, one should still hope for better articles than this.
Check out ImHex, I think that's an example of where it works.
You're right about everything. But I'd argue if we're going to dedicate time to 'guys', we should no less have a meeting about every single other possible ambiguity that hardly matters, and try to somehow encourage inconvenient changes to people's natural vocabularies.

Similarly to the article above, during the meeting, no alternative was suggested. I like the word 'guys' for its casualness. If you're at risk of being perceived as somewhat authoritative, it can help induce a more casual tone. I thought about 'peeps' but that's too casual (and frankly weird, in a business setting). 'Everyone' is far too sterile. 'Ladies and gentlemen' is weird. 'All' (e.g. 'hi all') is also impersonal.

Workplaces could over-analyse and pick about minutiae all day long, and how productive is that? I reasoned that if we are going to pick about minutiae, then it should at least be the worst of the worst offences, and should be accompanied with some alternatives or solutions. Not just "Don't do <x> because I said so" type of thing.
If someone relies on broadcast notifications to communicate, whether it be by snail mail, SMS, email, megaphone, or otherwise, maybe it is not really worth hearing?

To me, it seems like if someone has so many friends or is so busy that they need to manage their life using this strategy, you probably aren't going to have much of a connection anyway.
Pretty sure nobody said you had to listen.
On first reading, my immediate though was - the money
> "Citing the hypocrisy of some messengers as a reason not to care or do anything just means someone really wants an excuse not to care or do anything anyway."

This is not quite the perspective. The issue is that if humans were to shift the climate in a targeted action, it would require an absolutely massive and concerted global effort - something's not only unlike anything else that's ever happened in history, but whose feasibility is strongly contradicted by just about everything in history, and present.

So when even the people that claim to care more than anything else about climate can't really be bothered to live these efforts, what are the chances of people who don't care, are antagonistic, and then let alone with geopolitics entering the picture - actually acting? The answer is, realistically, zero, which means it's necessary to look for different solutions. It's not an excuse to not care, but rather strongly suggestive that caring, in the ways proposed, is not going to be effective.

You know some weird analogy is that it's like teaching kids about sexual abstinence as opposed to teaching them how to use a condom. The first is what you want and it feels good and morally upstanding to go that route, but it's also just not realistic. The latter feels questionable and like it may even be encouraging undesired behavior, but it's also realistic about what's going to happen anyhow.
I will go out on a limb and predict that in the next 10 years AI code assistant will be forbidden:)
Also, appears to miss the point that pothole spotting isn't solving the actual problem.

Surely, preventing, or at least optimising the fixing of potholes is closer to what is valuable?
This seems most likely, I guess? A username without a password would suit for leaving a trace?
OPP mentioned that this is happening but in discussion prior to PR. Makes sense to me.
On Facebook at least, the algorithm is heavily tuned to prioritize major life events: births, deaths, graduations, marriages, etc. Occasionally those posts get filtered out but usually they do get prioritized near the top of your feed.
This game is right up my alley but it’s so engrossing I always forget to save and lose hours of my progress.
Gosh! Such inspired venom and "old man yells at cloud" vibes in this comment thread. I think I should send this to myself from 5 years ago:

It's gonna be OKAY. It's OKAY to subtly adjust your language towards better ends, if it makes people feel more comfortable and creates a more equitable environment around you. The world won't implode. Although truly strained to the core of my being I have found the willpower to stop using "chinese whispers", preferring "game of telephone", stopped using "guys", preferring "y'all" and started to prefer generic "they/them" until I know the person's pronouns.

Amongst all the slings and arrows of life suffered, let this tiny ask be not one of them.
Wait wait wait... You're either misinterpreting the article or reading extra implications into it.

The observations of the pacific cargo cults are an example of religious and cultural syncretism which took on many varied and unique forms most commonly with the sudden increased presence of colonial and military forces in the Pacific along the very varied cultures and groups in that area especially during and after WW2 (and their subsequent sudden departure).

But it is similarly a step too far to imply this phenomenon or the resulting cults that developed was deliberately cultivated by colonialists or that military presence.

The "cargo" elicited in the term cargo cults is directly tied to this phenomenon: WW2 saw suddenly huge amounts of goods and logistics suddenly appear and then disappear from the Pacific regions as the war was fought and then subsequently finished.

Now there are also examples of religious syncretism that forms from missionaries trying to introduce Christianity to places all over the world (see South American and African interpretations of Christianity blending with local traditions), but those are not the cargo cults referred to that explicitly capture the primarily WW2 Pacific phenomenon even though there are other examples of syncretism of Christianity and Pacific religion that aren't cargo cults and aren't deliberately cultivated. Indeed, many times I'm guessing some of these practices are explicitly meet with resistance and annoyance from the likes of colonial missionaries and authorities, so as with most things its not that simple.
>Respectively, yes. The ability to create venvs so fast, that it becomes a silent operation that the end user never thinks about anymore.

I might just blow your mind here:

$ time python -m venv with-pip

real 0m3.248s
user 0m3.016s
sys 0m0.219s
$ time python -m venv --without-pip without-pip

real 0m0.054s
user 0m0.046s
sys 0m0.009s

The thing that actually takes time is installing Pip into the venv. I already have local demonstrations that this installation can be an order of magnitude faster in native Python. But it's also completely unnecessary to do that:

$ source without-pip/bin/activate
(without-pip) $ ~/.local/bin/pip --python `which python` install package-installation-test
Collecting package-installation-test
Using cached package_installation_test-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (3.1 kB)
Using cached package_installation_test-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl (3.1 kB)
Installing collected packages: package-installation-test
Successfully installed package-installation-test-1.0.0

I have wrappers for this, of course (and I'm explicitly showing the path to a separate Pip that's already on my path for demonstration purposes).

> a killer feature is the ability to inline dependencies in your Python source code, then use: uv tool run <scriptname>

Yes, Uv implements PEP 723 "Inline Script Metadata" (https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/) - originally the idea of Paul Moore from the Pip dev team, whose competing PEP 722 lost out (see https://discuss.python.org/t/_/29905). He's been talking about a feature like this for quite a while, although I can't easily find the older discussion. He seems to consider it out of scope for Pip, but it's also available in Pipx as of version 1.4.2 (https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/CHANGELOG/).

> The first run is a bit slower due to downloads and etc, but the second and subsequent runs are a bunch of internal symlink shuffling.

Part of why Pip is slow at this is because it insists on checking PyPI for newer versions even if it has something cached, and because its internal cache is designed to simulate an Internet connection and go through all the usual metadata parsing etc. instead of just storing the wheels directly. But it's also just slow at actually installing packages when it already has the wheel.

In principle, nothing prevents a Python program from doing caching sensibly and from shuffling symlinks around.
FWIW I actually really enjoyed that VR Home concept, far more than any of the current ones. At the time that I had the headset that supported that and still ran windows I was enamored with the space and spent a lot of time in the loft space, the one at the top of the skyscraper.

I did as much of my computing in that space as possible, pulling up multiple desktop windows and floating applications and pinning them places. On one wall I had the Zune software with my whole music library, and my music played from that place, so I imported 3d models of speakers (I managed to actually find an end user use case for that default Windows user folder and I still as an admin and dev wonder why it's a default) and stuck them next to the app and they persisted. I'd drag discord around with me and I could even access the screen of my phone by bringing up Your Phone.

I found it really kind of nice to use, and I wish the space had been more capable. Able to take more object formats, able to handle more vertices, I wish I had been able to boot directly to the virtual environment and eschew the step of switching between desktop and virtual mode. It also visually paused basically every app and desktop you didn't specifically keep active, except for Zune--that would go into Mixview and look cool as hell on the wall.

I miss it, and I'm sad they killed it and I'm not aware of an experience like it for linux on an openish device atm.
This adds nothing other than “MIT did it so it’s OK.”
>> For example, if a parent died...

and yet people died quite often before social media; what did we do then?

If the realtionship is built upon the foundation of social media, it's actually not that strong, absent social media. We'll be fine.
Show HN: Bash-my-AWS adds `bmai <missing command>` to generate functions
Maintaining a popular open source project will get easier with AI to assist. The `bmai` command works a bit like the `bma` command except it generates the function using an LLM (via Simon Willison's llm tool.
Another difference is that UI code is often event driven. Games poll inputs each frame and update accordingly. What or when to render is never in question - everything, every frame for simpler games.
The concept of a mission / vision statement is an artifact of 1980's "Management Consulting" culture in the US, which had ties to the various "Human Potential" groups like est, Landmark Forum, etc.

Other things like 360 degree feedback are also borrowed from that culture.

There was a very old article in Fortune about this, it's preserved but there is no formatting.

I was curious so I tested it myself: https://honeypot.net/categories/ink/

Noodler’s Baystate Blue is at least as waterproof as the paper it’s on.
I saw a talk at a C++ conference where the presenter floated the idea of writing a compile-time C++ GUI library for use in industrial equipment UIs.

Why parse markup and generate objects on the fly when there is exactly one UI that will ever be burned into the CNC machine's firmware? Why even bother with an object library that instantiates components at runtime when you know upfront exactly which components will be instantiated and all of the interactions that can occur among them?

At the time, I filed the idea under "C++ wizard has too much fun with metaprogramming," but he was probably on to something.

Another way to think about the idea is "let's invent a new programming language that allows us to express a single UI, and the output of the compiler will be a native program that IS an optimized implementation of that UI."
There is a shrink wrapped box of Bob on display at the Computer Museum of America in Roswell, Georgia (Metro Atlanta).
funny how nobody (even the OP) commented on the apple-like nature of the pricing here. especially when it reminds of the recent m4 mac mini memory upgrade costing more than the base model.

(EDIT: yes i get that for the mac mini the ram is getting doubled, but here the memory increase is also similar in amount).

i recognize the new memory chip SKU that made it possible, but you need a lot of mental gymnastics before justifying the compromise.

Welp, unfortunately it's too late to fix my comment.

I didn't mix them up on purpose, and I won't pretend to be an expert on the taxonomy of the various Pacific Islander ethnicities.

Yes, the article does mention Melanesians by name. So what. It mentions other important things and people by name that I don't remember either. So what. Those exact names and identities are not important, neither to my point, nor to the point the article is making.

It may be a “level of abstraction”, but not a good one, because it is imprecise.

When you want to make changes to the code (which is what we spend most of our time on), you’ll have to either (1) modify the prompt and accept the risk of using the new code or (2) modify the original code, which you can’t do unless you know the lower level of abstraction.

if the goal is easier to manage and more direct, I'd argue it's not that important. Is your culture 20 years old? What did they do before?

There are lots of things in the world where the work required IS the value. Think of a hand written note from your CEO; is it still valuable if it was their assistant and a picture of the signature? "keeping in touch" is not inheriently valuable; it's the effort required that makes it so.
I was in your boat too. Been using Python since 2000 and pretty satisfied with venv and pip.

However, the speed alone is reason enough to switch. Try it once and you will be sold.
