This feels the same (and hits the same talking points) as previous rants on the topic, where it presupposes that the author's workflow is the majority (without evidence), but only written in a more calm manner.

That's not what I'm talking about. There are legal frameworks about how to compute something (which I only vaguely know exist, so I know enough that I personally should not be implementing any of this without significant outside

I would argue the more correct answer is if you don't know what maths to use for money (including e.g. any legal rules about how you do it), you shouldn't be doing maths on money.

No, it's clear people don't know how to compute (because they're not taught how to). The vast majority of issues that people encounter with floating point aren't floating point issues, it's "how do I perform th

That doesn't surprise me, as before floats are involved you need to transform the series into something you can compute (doing this by hand is a good way to understand what's going on underneath). https://developers.red

I feel like you're doing a bit of "othering" on marketing and sales. As https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39396436 puts it, this is common outside software (you'll find hardware purchases are similar)

I can't speak to other parts of the Commonwealth, but Australia and New Zealand also don't require photo IDs, you only really need them if you're young and want to go to age-restricted venues (e.g. bars) or buy alcohol (or si

Here in AU, there's no ID required, and we always vote on Saturdays (though pre-poll stations are open most days of the week, and there's a bunch of other exceptions for the NT due to remoteness).

The issue is there's c extensions, and there's c extensions. Something like cryptography is self-contained (kinda, we're sweeping a lot under the carpet with rust here), whereas something like pytorch cares much more about wh

The issue is, Python has multiple projects that are already doing that, and they've not been adopted (and then everyone complains that Python packaging is a mess...). Maybe uv will be like the easy_install -> pip transition, but I d

That's specifying which python to use. The issue which is printed is there's no support for `--upgrade`, so it's not a drop in replacement for pip.
556.
by aragilar 3y ago
How does that solve the problem that uv isn't a drop-in replacement? Are they going to implement the whole of pip, warts and all? Unlikely, because even though its in rust, they're getting a fair bit of speedup by making assumptio

You assume that people want you to use their project. For MinIO, the AGPL seems to be a way to get people into their ecosystem so they can sell exceptions. Others might want you to contribute code back.

I think it's less innovation and more failing to understand the requirements (i.e. only implementing half of what's needed, and then moving to the next thing). E.g. adding labels to gmail, but no way to have filters, so you have t

Alternate idea: Mozilla (Org, not Corp, so avoids the issue of focus) certifies services as meeting some privacy and security criteria, and so can avoid the need to spend engineer/manager time wrapping existing services in their own br

The issue isn't poetry per se, but what simplifying assumptions (that there is a single solution and you can compute it on any system, and that "system effects" can be ignored/handled by wheels, see https://py

But how are you handling those system dependencies (is R and its various packages one?), and how do you know that the packages you install/manage via the python ecosystem work with them? I think the reason Python has so many things is

I agree with your posts(s), but conda is different to pyenv, poetry and similar tools (rye, hatch etc.) in that unlike the others which only manage Python, it (tries) to manage your whole environment. Can the others manage R packages (b

Wait, what? There's OpenSearch and web extensions which let you add more search engines (removing builtin ones is harder though).

But you have insurance right? Does that include a temporary one while it's being fixed? If so, you do have a back up car.

Or simply what integrates well with an existing framework. The "lightweight" examples given allow for non-JS templating on the backend (in this case Python, but the article looks at other non-JS languages), whereas other framework
