What I'm really curious about is why this kind of rhetoric immediately jumps out as a red light to me regardless of whether I agree with the intended outcome or not. Then there will be some developer, just like me, sitting right ne

As of 2022 I have so far refused to install Whatsapp on principle. We deserved federated IM and 10 years ago we almost had it with XMPP. To me Whatsapp were the antithesis of this, by binding IM to mobile numbers and phones and making it an

You just made me feel very, very old.

I wouldn't say I'd rather anything. But it's an odd phrasing that I didn't see people using very often until a couple of years ago. I see it on Twitter bios too.

I don't get this constant acknowledgement of which peoples' land we're on. If you feel this is a bad thing, would you not simply get off the land? If you feel that it is a good thing, are you not gloating about your conquest?

By "looks like" you actually mean "shares superficial traits with".

Unlikely he contributed much. He's too busy working on Half Life 3.

I will have to take your word for it. I'm in my 40s, I'm from the UK, I live in Australia, and I don't really feel what you're saying. It sounds like hyperbole. Perhaps you need to be living in France to see it. All I se

Not "the" problem, but definitely "a" problem in my opinion. If you're someone like me, in Australia, who always figured he was a left leaning liberal, some of the stuff coming out of CRT sounds right up there with

I certainly am not. I'm saying the far right have no hope of deplatforming, say, Richard Dawkins. But that's been done successfully by the far left. They are censoring in ways the far right could only dream of. I think they might

Because the far right have always been nuts and society is somewhat inoculated against them. The far left seem to be able to penetrate far more deeply and are actually successful in suppressing free speech and scientific wrongthink.

Sound is definitely the same as the Amiga version at least.

I have recently joined a team that had invested in Svelte. I had previous experience in Angular and React. I was happy with React, but I decided to drink the koolaid and go all-in and do my best with Svelte. 6 months later, we're movin

Small tangent, but if I type "animus" into Google the first hit is a photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I can't decide if that's a coincidence or not.

Disagreed. This really is natural selection and not artificial selection. The poachers aren't selectively breeding for elephants without tusks. Quite the opposite. You are correct that it's a tautology - the elephants remaining ar

The quality of everything on the XPS laptops is subpar compared to a MBP. Used both in the same year for several months. XPS is a good, even very good laptop. MBP it is not.

Is it too late to rename it FarQueue?

That's a fair point actually.

Thanks for writing this. I've always felt that virtualenv was bit of a placebo. I still use it from time to time though because others expect it. In fact I have used it this week on MacOS, and was annoyed to find that I can't inst

If the author ends a statement with a question mark, I find it very hard to take them seriously. How can they be insightful but not thorough enough to check a title? Does that make me a bad person? I mean just that, on its own?

Can I use this to build a package that can be uploaded to a pypi repository for other people to depend on?

by dissent 9y ago
You're also correcting the wrong problem. You can have your deps outside of your repo and still not go off to the net each time. You should cache or mirror the repo and build from that. At some point the convenience of public repos mad

Edmund Burke clearly didn't take much stock in good women being able to do much.

I consider that nonsense. If there was truth in this, other platforms besides python would need something similar.

It's all genuine, just one guy who doesn't like virtualenv much. I started the blog just to have somewhere to post that. The person who mentioned names probably worked with me.

I admit I'm stirring things up a bit here. You're quite right that I'm venting.
