You can always rent a car for road trips. Yes it's not super cheap but cheaper than keeping another car around, depending on your rate of road trips. It's what I do (but I don't own any cars at all, so it's somewhat more expensive for me to rent since I need to purchase supplemental liability insurance).
Changes like that will break just as much code as adding extra precision will. Because it will change how things round, and not much else, just like adding extra precision. They're both slightly disruptive, and they tend to disrupt the same kind of thing, unlike removing precision which is very disruptive all over.
My wife drives a i3 Rex, which is a plugin hybrid. We’ve taken it on a 6 hour road trip before. It was doable, though I’ll admit it wasn’t the best hybrid for a road trip.

I believe the article and parent comment were discussing queue solutions for low-volume situations.
Owner of high-end hybrid EV.
Hybrids are still new to many car garages, which means skills to fix issues are not optimized.
It took 3 weeks and $9k to figure out my hybrid wouldn’t start due to a faulty basic EV component (fortunately under warranty).

In addition cost of fuel cell replacement pushes up cost and risk of ownership and can be common at 70-80k miles.

I hate to say it, but I am actually considering a trade in for gasoline.

In the USA, you can absolutely be sued for this. The plaintiff is unlikely to win, and you could probably get the case dismissed if you convince a judge that's it's clearly an opinion, but you'd still have to pay a lawyer some fees.

People can sue you for anything.

"I want to say that I liked Roman history before it was cool to like Roman history"

Author is 25. When in his life was it not cool to like Roman history?
Yeah, this is where I've been for a while. Maybe it helps that I don't do any ML work with lots of C or Fortran libraries that depend on exact versions of Python or whatever. But for just writing an application in Python, venv and pip are fine. I'll probably still try uv eventually if everyone really decides they're adopting it, but I won't rush.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why wouldn't you just pin to an exact version of `requests` (or whatever) instead? I think that would be equivalent in practice to limiting resolutions by release date, except that it would express your intent directly ("resolve these known working things") rather than indirectly ("resolve things from when I know they worked").
If there's a portable version of this I can run on my work computer, I will! (stand-alone version, it's so fast!)

The Windows built-in File Explorer is godawfully slow. Like, slower than I remember it being in the late 90's. Motivation-sappingly slow. But I think it's because my work computer has it's inescapable synchronisation to OneDrive, and so every folder and every file it has to scan for a thumbnail or whatever, waits for it's data from OneDrive like a happy little idiot.

Funnily enough, navigating a remote directory on my NAS from my home Linux desktop is blazingly fast as if the files are local.

Windows or the Corporate Environment, or the combination of the two, is creating so much overhead that it feels like going back in time 25+ years.
I would not work in any language without automatic indentation and formatting. Wrestling with these things by hand is unproductive.

Writing code in an editor not for programmign is not a lot of fun.

Even in classic Unix Vi of Bill Joy heritage, there is a Lisp mode (:set Lisp). (Not described in the POSIX description of vi, though.)

Vim has decent Lisp support out of the box. It's built on extensions over top the classic Lisp mode.

Some newer editors may be lacking in Lisp support, due to being produced by newer people who are not aware of Lisp.

However editors have to deal with nested parentheses for all sorts of languages!

For instance when you're editing a .c file in Vim, it does a decent "Lisp like" job of nested parentheses, in some regards.

((x + y) *
z) /* <-- z auto-indents here, etc */

You can probably hack a Lisp mode out of a C or Javascript mode by trimming out a bunch of functionality and adding a thing or two.
This is just an anecdote, but I know someone who worked with leaded solder since he was a young teen, and he sometimes holds the solder in his mouth(!) when working on tricky joints. He is in his early 90s now and still very healthy.
This would apply only to the 15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Attorney General.

Currently those laws (which are technically called “rules”) are interpreted by the agencies themselves, with the reasoning being that the subject matter expertise of those agencies is the most important factor in deciding any dispute relating to any rule. The laws and judicial process works differently when it comes to agencies under the executive branch.

Having an external governing individual is better than self-governance in most systems, so this seems sensible given that those agencies have a history of interpreting rules in ways that are self-interested and clearly not to the spirit of the rules, which likely resulted in this Executive Order.

There is a website where creators can sell a subscription to their 'content'. Their fans buy it.

I guess I don’t see it as merely technology about which I might be reasonably enthused. Everything cool becomes bad or harnessed for evil in rather short order these days.

I don't blame too many privileged tech workers who feel their soul being slowly eroded away, because working in software is one of the only decent ways to have any economic security at all anymore. Admittedly, Silicon Valley is responsible for some of this insecurity, but still.

Housing is expensive. Food is expensive. Childcare is expensive. Health insurance is expensive (even the "good" insurance, where a PPO will still gleefully deny your claims).

So you can either be well-off and miserable, but probably not destitute, or you can work at a gas station, and enjoy 30-40 years of precarity before you die of a preventable illness.

Great options.
Uh cause prices don’t go back down just because inflation is slower? The government robbed something like 30% of your buying power just in the last 4 years.
>>when it is actually about relations, and numbers are just some of the entities whose relations mathematics studies.

Well no. Math is studying anything at their most atomic machinations. That mostly involves.

- Making hypothesis, that is assumptions about start conditions and rules of play.

- Evolving the system you just created. Such that conclusions are consistent with the rules of play.

The real deal is good math involves lots of paper work, to an extent you could almost say Math is a writing skill than a thinking skill.

I prefer stack traces in errors. It's gives so much more automatically so you don't have to worry about manual annotation. Stack traces and debug logs are the way to go. I like to use panics for exceptional conditions just for the convenient escape with the stack trace.
Will the vast sums of money being spent on Grok ever actually have a positive ROI?
> I believe the reason ffmpeg and VLC have not been sued to oblivion is because they're legally based in France, where the MPEG-LA's practises aren't tolerated. The support of a "no software patents" country/government/society encouraged them to develop ffmpeg without fear; the fear we see on display here today in the USA.

I strongly doubt that's the reason. Until recently, it was quite easy to sue anybody in your favorite court in the US on the flimsiest of grounds, and even after SCOTUS said "you need more than 'they sell things here' to establish jurisdiction and venue," the patent-friendly judge in West Texas seems to be trying his hardest not to listen. No, I suspect the reason is much simpler: an open source project doesn't hold enough money to be worth the cost it takes to litigate (on the order of millions of dollars).
The job in the story is a stand-in for "an abusive job". The point isn't to ask the reader whether or not they'd take it, the point is that it is abusive and pointless. Like, it's not posing the question "would you take this job?" It's asking you to consider the life of someone whose job is, a priori, abusive and meaningless.
We did something similar using RabbitMQ with bson over AMQP, and static message routing. Anecdotally, the design has been very reliable for over 6 years with very little maintenance on that part of the system, handles high-latency connection outage reconciliation, and new instances are cycled into service all the time.

Mostly people that ruminate on naive choices like REST/HTTP2/MQTT will have zero clue how the problems of multiple distributed telemetry sources scale. These kids are generally at another firm by the time their designs hit the service capacity of a few hundred concurrent streams per node, and their fragile reverse-proxy load-balancer CISCO rhetoric starts to catch fire.

Note, I've seen AMQP nodes hit well over 14000 concurrent users per IP without issue, as RabbitMQ/OTP acts like a traffic shock-absorber at the cost of latency. Some engineers get pissy when they can't hammer these systems back into the monad laden state-machines they were trained on, but those people tend to get fired eventually.

Note SCADA systems were mostly designed by engineers, and are about as robust as a vehicular bridge built by a JavaScript programmer.

Anecdotally, I think of Java as being a deprecated student language (one reason to avoid Kafka in new stacks), but it is still a solid choice in many use-cases. Sounds like you might be too smart to work with any team. =3

"authoritative interpretations of law FOR THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH." Suppose the National Security Agency comes up with a new tactic or operation and they want to know if it's legal. My guess is that previous to this EO, worker bees helped the NSA general counsel make a decision brief for the head of the NSA who then made the final legal/illegal decision. This memo means the AG or POTUS are now the decision makers. That's my reading of the memo anyway.

Python has fully-hashed requirements[1], which is what you'd use to assert the integrity of your dependencies. These work with both `pip` and `uv`. You can't use them to directly import the package, but that's more because "packages" aren't really part of Python's import machinery at all.

(Note that hashes themselves don't make "random scripts" not a security risk, since asserting the hash of malware doesn't make it not-malware. You still need to establish a trust relationship with the hash itself, which decomposes to the basic problem of trust and identity distribution.)

> Then one day I saw someone on Hacker News mention Dr. Sarno's book, and it changed my life.

I learned of Dr Sarno from HN several years ago. I bought 2 books of his, and did my best to implement what he wrote.

It made no improvement to my pain (very similar pain as the author).

I definitely don't mean to turn people away from Sarno's treatments. I have definitely met folks who have never heard of Sarno, but whose pain evolution and eventual management aligns with what Sarno has in his book, so if you do have that type of pain definitely check it out.

But don't blame yourself if it doesn't.
Au contraire, I am not fine on giving up on people. I wouldn't be where I am if people had given up on me.

Pinning deps is a good thing, but it won't necessarily solve the issue of transitive dependencies (ie: the dependencies of requests itself for example), which will not be pinned themselves, given you don't have a lock file.

To be clear, a lock file is strictly the better option—but for single file scripts it's a bit overkill.

The laws and judicial process works differently when it comes to agencies under the executive branch.

This was never true: it was simply the case that (under the principle of Chevron deference) that in cases of ambiguity, courts would defer to the agencies themselves. The courts still reserved the right to interpret the law, since that is literally their job.

Moreover, it's even less true since last year with the Loper Bright case, which overturned Chevron deference, and courts no longer defer to the agencies.

> Having an external governing individual is better than self-governance in most systems.

I don't know what this means. Who is an "external governing individual"? If you mean the president, I would say that he is (a) not external to the executive branch, (b) not entitled to decide matters of law by the Constitution, and (c) not qualified to decide matters of law by education and training.
I can't speak to uv from an app dev perspective (I use Go for that), but as someone who dips into the Python world for data science reasons only, uv is great and I'm thankful for it.
Sounds interesting, I use to use a tool that showed a drives or folders content by file size. Larger files being larger boxes.

It definitely seems useful to have a view where folders are simply boxes with ---names--- in their top border. A folder could also be a simple outline with its name in front of the file names.

The irony of saying "It’s a highly reductive and juvenile way of looking at the world." You can say the same thing about people who scream "woke" about any and everything.

And that's your definition of the word. Going by other people who use it unironically, you can't come to a consensus on what it means. Literally anytime there's any sort of representation, people scream woke. Person who use American Sign Language in a video game? That's so woke!

But let's go with your definition of the word. If you're treating everyone equally, while acknowledging and celebrating our differences, what's the issue?

People, who are obsessed with seeing woke in everything, apparently want to view everyone as amorphous blobs.

This is a truly unbelievable turn of events, as seen from Europe.

Negotiating something between Russia and Ukraine is arguably reasonable.

However, what the US is now proposing happens to exactly match the Kremlin's wish list. That is not negotiation by any known definition of the term.

I would argue that the US aligning with Putin is much more impactful on the future of geopolitics than even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Okay, but that's not what it says. The president or the AG can certainly provide advice to agencies, for whatever that's worth, but advising someone "Hey I think this new tactic is legal," is quite different from making a legal determination of legality (or interpretation of law), which is up to the courts.

Taken at face value, this executive order is seizing from the courts the power to determine the legality of policy.
