Pip has had a dependency resolver since 2020, it just had some issues initially (in large part because of the terrible state of metadata in the ecosystem). There are plenty of other problems with Pip, of course, and not having an obvious way to save and reproduce a package resolution is one of them.

Pip doesn't aim to manage packages in the first place, however; expecting to lock the entire environment is out of its wheelhouse (or should I say .whl-house?).

For Paper, rather than implementing anything like Pip's "dry-run" option (which is nowhere near as "dry" as you'd expect, but that's a separate issue...), I'm planning to have a separate command to output PEP 751 lockfiles representing an individual resolution, i.e. the packages that would be added to the environment.

Tell HN: This Hacker News Exists (Not Really)
In the spirit of April Fools' Day I'm going to resubmit this.

Also, some bugs were ironed out, and I made some tweaks to the code to include even more crazier headlines.

Enjoy.

This is what I get for attempting to write in that high HN fashion. I appreciate your considerate approach, though. Thank you.

Now I only wonder what kind of depth we missed out on from this accusation taking the forefront of my post's underlying thread.
> My impression is that it makes browsing wifi networks you don't trust safer.

That's why it's problematic. Using a known-good VPN can make it safer.

However by installing some VPN software you are intentionally installing a man in the middle which you now have to trust is legit.

And the promotions tend to vastly exaggerate the risk, something NordVPN got slapped for[1].

Most US newspapers will financed to a great extent by classified ads, until the Internet destroyed that model - very many never recovered. The NY Times is financied in part by people who will pay for crosswords, cooking, games, and other non-news products.

We're still talking about The Guardian?

They advertise a $20 (AUD) per month "All Access Digital" plan here - https://support.theguardian.com/au/contribute?pre-auth-ref=h... - which they say gives you access to "Ad-free reading on all your devices"

But that might be through their app rather than the browser. Hard to tell.

Damn Youtubers really make alot from affil links? I think I've only like once or twice used a link in the description.
I usually don't bother, because nearly always the links in the description arn't relevant to the video. Just an ad link, and generic, my camera xyz links to some amazon page which usually out of stock/gone.

I always thought Youtubers made the bulk of their money with brand deals (like Honey), and some from youtube ads + light sprinkling on top from afill links.

Maybe I'm not the typical user.

Their focus on their mission of informing the public, not just a few, is impressive and heartening:

This isn't remotely true; it's just something people say on message boards.
Using AI is risky since it's trained on data from sites like Chegg, StudySmarter (now known as Vaia), Brainly, etc.

Since those are user submitted answers, they sometimes get them wrong and so the AI models just regurgitate the wrong answer, especially if it's for a problem that's infrequently assigned by professors.

Nevertheless, I still use the AI models to try and aid in solving these problems, there's just always this gut feeling that I'm being guided in the wrong direction, but since I'm not versed in the subject I'm learning, I can't identify the hallucinations or inaccuracies.
No, there are different scales. For a start, you can play a minor scale instead of a major one, or you can play a chromatic one (all the notes, a semitone at a time). Sticking to the notes of a scale when playing a melody is playing in a particular mode, for instance the pentatonic scale is a blues mode. Several modes are from ancient Greece and create strange stiff-sounding moods. I can't claim great consciousness of the mode/scale used in any familiar songs (other than the pentatonic), but this is a thing and it goes on a lot. Popular in the technical end of thrash metal.

Edit: the minor scale doesn't count because C major = A minor if you start on A, fair enough, forget that one.
Koreader doesn't integrate with overdrive, but it's trivially easy to install it on your Kobo alongside the Kobo OS. You can continue to use overdrive on your Kobo and also dip into koreader for the better PDF viewer etc.

yeah, so the people who would make time to grab a beer with me when I was visiting their town, would not respond to my texts. And that's why I asked for the specific language you'd use. I'm using something like:

"Hi XYZ... I've started consulting, and I'm looking for new business opportunities. I'd love to talk to you about this... could we catch up over a call sometime next week"

may be there is a better way to do that. I've limited 1st degree network, and I don't want to burn it all, so I stopped sending these messages after all the first 4-5 didn't seem to go as planned!

Python projects often need to share space with code written in other languages used for extensions - especially C traditionally, but now there are many competitors (and Numpy also uses Fortran for LAPACK and possibly also BLAS; I'd have to check).

PEP 518 gave the original definition for pyproject.toml contents, defining its use for describing build-time requirements. (PEP 517 appeared more or less in tandem, describing the hook to call an entry point for the build backend; later, PEP 621 standardized some metadata for the build backend to use.) Many other options were considered, including for the name: https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/#other-file-names
Show HN: Renault 25 – The 1980s Talking Car Experiment
In 1983, the Renault 25 rolled out with a feature straight out of sci-fi: voice synthesis. This French luxury sedan, designed to rival BMW and Mercedes, spoke to drivers with alerts like "door ajar" or "low oil" - a world-first for a production car, built with Philips tech. Beyond its talking gimmick, it packed a sleek 0.28 drag coefficient and engines from 63 hp diesels to a 205 hp V6 Turbo. Phase 1 (1983-88) was bold but buggy; Phase 2 (1988-92) refined it, hitting 780k units total. A car of presidents and tech pioneers, it’s a quirky footnote in automotive history. Full story here: https://www.missioniledelacite.paris/voiture-de-collection/h.... What do you think - ahead of its time or just a quirky fad?
managed even to remove scrollbars altogether from their website

What's worse are the custom JS ones that only appear on hover, obscuring the contents partially where they happen to be, and then when you try to drag them and accidentally move the pointer just a tiny bit off their skinny width, they disappear and you end up accidentally activating whatever element happens to be underneath.
also not very punk rock to crave validation from unesco
Even worse, when *those same people* finally figure out that there aren't many trans people in the first place, rather than thinking "oh should be easy to accommodate, then", they instead say "exactly, so we shouldn't have to care about them. They should just go away / be quiet / stop asking 'the whole world' to change for them."

At the end of the day, everything is just an excuse for people like that to either:

- hate
- not do any internal searching that will reveal they're the ones
that need to change
- continue to hide in their self-hating shame

Yeah this! The day that casey neistat started advertising nordvpn, I lost a lot of interest in his content.

I personally don't mind creators advertising VPNs, but just be honest about it. Don't pretend like it's your favourite VPN you've always used, and it's the bestest, most secure, will make you super safe..

If they'd say like, I've been paid to advertise xyz VPN, I've tried it for a few days, works as advertised. I can watch my US Netflex while traveling out of the US, or whatever. But keep in mind, instead of just your ISP knowing where you browse, now the VPN providers knows, and is probably selling your data.
Like, cut the bs.

Highly implausible.

Also the terms of the rebate require finalized sales. The stores in question don't have the physical capacity to have made 8600 sales in 3 days. If they were batching earlier sales they shouldn't have used a later date as the sale date for the rebate.

So it's either fraud or sheer incompetence by Tesla Canada.
If you think something is bad, all I can advise is that you stop watching it. Of course if it's easier/cheaper to make content, more content will be made, and there will be proportionately more crap around. My point is that quality is not specifically a function of the technology or workflow.
> He's not chaotic because he sees it as an advantage.

Wasn't: But, having been accused of being chaotic, he "adopted" it as his vibe. The weave is bullshit. He's chaotic because he's chaotic. But how he messages it to his fanbase, is another story. It isn't an advantage but he sells it like it is and you know what? To the right people, it works.

I doubt it works for the Chinese, either to give them useful clues to his intent, or to impress, or convince them of a line of reasoning. What it does it make it plain there is only a transactional moment, and a risk it will be repudiated before the sharpie ink has dried on the symbolic signing.

In turn the chinese will adopt a posture which advances their cause. It may well be belligerent. It is unlikely to be supplicatory.

I would rather be in another timeline of the wheeler multiverse. If I can't have the one with unicorns and chocolate, I'll settle for the one with less chaotic negotiation approaches.
I’d agree with all of this, although I’d also point out o3-mini is very fast and cheap.

AI voice control at what cost
Go did use to do that, it was removed years ago, in 1.4: https://go.dev/doc/go1.4#runtime
It does, and that is the plan as far as I can tell. The prior discussion in the thread, as well as the commit history for the PEP (https://github.com/python/peps/commits/main/peps/pep-0751.rs...), shows pretty clear intent to take all of their needs into consideration.

Translating text; writing a simple but not trivial python function; creating documentation from code.
Yes unfortunately, I've grown to be used to it over time though. Sometimes will press my fingers into random objects to make sure I keep them up.

Playing electric guitar also helps immensely due to the thinner strings and lower action.
People have had similar sentiments in tennis about how racket and ball technology has changed the game over the years. Moving away from wooden rackets led to a massive increase in power and a larger sweet spot, which transformed the game from finesse to powerful serve-and-volley play. John McEnroe began with wooden racquets, while Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi adjusted to carbon fiber frames. Then poly strings took things even further, players generated extreme topspin to deliver aggressive swings with much more consistency, pushing the game back towards the high-powered baseline style.

For me, Roger Federer's style represents tennis at its most beautiful. His all-court game feels effortless and graceful, almost like a dance. But from a court-level view, it's more of a high-speed chess match built on calculated aggression, constantly pressuring opponents and waiting for the slightest opening to strike a point-winning shot. That level of sophistication and precision wouldn’t be possible without modern racket technology.

I still feel emotionally tied to classic matches from my childhood, especially Federer versus Nadal. But there's no objective reason, because tennis keeps getting better. People worried finesse was disappearing, but players like Alcaraz have brought back drop shots and clever cat-and-mouse tactics against deep-baseline defenders like Zverev and Medvedev. It’s a technique that was once considered too risky to rely on consistently.

In golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, running, & any other sport will keep evolving as technology & athleticism improves. Clinging to older styles feels more like holding onto the past than genuinely appreciating progress. If you can’t enjoy Curry hitting daggers in the Olympic finals or Kiplimo breaking 57 minutes in a half marathon, maybe the problem isn't with the sport itself. Maybe it’s the comfort of past memories holding you back from appreciating what’s happening now.
> They don't have a design system, don't know what that even means, and their sinful hands should not be tweaking any UI libraries, at most being limited to modifying a rich set of theme tokens that force consistency

I feel like the majority of shadcn users doesn't tweak it whatsoever though. In fact - I bet you a large percentage has never even considered the ability to tweak it, just seeing it as a plug-and-play set of UI components. Think old Android and iOS apps, where almost everyone just used the default components.

Neither. They're describing the philosophical similarities of:

* "Has only been that way so far because that's how computers are" and
* "I just want to center the damn content.
I don't much care about the intricacies of using
auto-margin, flexbox, css grid, align-content, etc."

Centering a div is seen as difficult because complexities that boil down to "that's just how computers are", and they find (imo rightful) frustration in that.
I haven't seen that - but I recently saw them do a self-advertising segment before one of their videos on their site.

He has no idea how US foreign policy works. Or any US policy really. Because he frankly doesn't care. People who try to inform him have talked about how difficult it is to get him to pay attention, that it requires cutting it very short and throwing lots of colorful pictures. It's not a secret in Washington. You say he's a political obsessive but he pays more attention to various fox news rants (which are often conspiratorial) then to well sourced briefings.

He's smart at scams and self promotion, anything else he's intellectually lazy about.

He cares a lot about influence at least while he's in charge but he undervalues or ignores soft power and just tries to bully allies.
Look, if the visible universe is expanding, as we think it is, that is already a direction. Viewing galaxies “from the other side” is not the same in an expanding bubble. It’s like being surprised that many things are redshifted no matter where you look. As for rotations — you could perhaps have some local coriolis force.

The visible universe is redshifted and galaxies are getting further and further away. So jumping straight to “we are in a black hole” is weird

It is far more plausible that there is some coriolis like spinning effect in a higher dimension, even if the universe is flat it could have similar effects to how the earth’s spin makes cyclones all spin in the same direction.

Problem solved. Next?

I went to the theater recently to watch Interstellar rerun.

The movie was great. However, going to the movie theater reminded me why it's been years since I went.

People talking, turning on their phones that flashes your eyes, hearing people eat popcorn, people coming late, etc. Just a terrible experience.
pyproject.toml is still fundamentally intended to be an input file that describes abstract dependencies for a single package. Lock files describe entire environments, or at least entire change-sets for an environment, and specify everything - pinned versions, including for transitive dependencies, and also hashes and other expectations for the install artifacts.

Tools that use custom lock files are at liberty to switch over, and any concerns about migration, backwards compatibility etc. are up to them. Several major tool authors were consulted for the design repeatedly across the discussion thread, over a period of months (and this is just the latest attempt at the design task; the total history is much longer).

uv has an issue up already to track implementation: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/12584
So true. Imagine trying to explain a movie theatre to somebody who didn’t grow up going to one. Compare it to podcasts and you’ll see what I mean - why would everyone pay $15 to sit in a room and listen to a new podcast episode at the same time? Same thing. That’s how we’ll all sound to gen alpha. No more movies and thank God I don’t have to spend $20 on a $0.50 bucket of popcorn and $0.25 cent drink. Imagine your parents tell you that radio shows used to do this..

The plot lines are dead. Hollywood has zero originality in plots lately. They think consumers go to theaters to see special effects on a big screen, but the reality is the more special effects a movie has the more dull to non-existent the plot is.

Ask HN: Aren't Agents the Bitter Lesson?
It’s been a while since I read the bitter lesson by Rich Sutton, with that said, the general “vibe” I picked up from the essay was “building human features and heuristics into a program will eventually be surpassed by general brutish methods”

So this poses the question. Orchestrating workflows using an agent frameworks seems like it goes against the gospel that hacker news users (like myself) preach all so often.

So what do you think about approaching problems with specialize agent flows? Is this something that will shine in many use cases, or become obsolete in the next few years of innovation?
