Works pretty well on Reddit. It's not perfect, but reddit threads sorted by "best" are a sight better than threads sorted by "new". Upvotes-only wouldn't get you the same effect, since "best" is about

I'm in Australia too so I'm not just watching from afar and making stuff up. You might even recognise my username from the Australian COVID subreddit. I'm fully aware how harsh the lockdowns were - I'm in Melbourne, even

Pre-omicron, it did. Australia and New Zealand were pretty much at the herd immunity threshold from vaccination, before even getting much third dose coverage or vaccinating children. Omicron is sufficiently immune-escaping that it changed t

You think the supposed experts have additional evidence, so you're treating their claim to have evidence as evidence in itself. You're unaware that they have no more evidence than you already did.

IPv6 addresses can be ephemeral? What, DHCP is assigning a whole range to each client? Didn't know that. Pretty weird. For internal stuff I would be using IP addresses to identify peers. Ephemeral IP addresses in logs aren't very

As soon as one of the computers in the subnet initiates traffic outside the network, its IP address becomes public knowledge though, right? Doesn't matter how large the space is, that information leaks, whereas with NAT it doesn't

Your sarcasm is misplaced. I would prefer a SyntaxError to either of the implicit behaviours.

Note that it is trivial to split the real and imaginary parts into two separate real-numbers and write quantum mechanics that way with only real numbers. Instead of i you get a 90 degree rotation matrix, instead of individual numbers you ge

The rent isn't based on the sale price of the land, it's based on the value of the land. If land comes with a tax obligation, they're not the same thing anymore. sale_price_of_land = underlying_value_of_land - how_m

Can't help but notice that the "hut" is pretty much exactly 8x8 pixels in size, which is the size of a JPEG block. Makes me wonder if an unlucky bit flip in the image data could produce an image like that. Or just unlucky los

That'll prevent it leaking to most things, but not to subprocesses of your application. For example your application might interact with command-line tools written in Python, and unless you delete PYTHONPATH from the environment variab

It's completely global, shared by all Python interpreters of all versions. I set PYTHONPATH, but the code in that directory is solely small debugging utils of mine that I want available in every Python interpreter, and I make sure not

If you are in the know and are aware that dash to panel, dash to dock, and whichever system tray extension is the one maintained by the Ubuntu developers are the ones you want. Otherwise you get one of the million broken extensions. And thi

I still see GNOME as the most practical DE to run - but it's telling that absolutely nobody uses it as shipped: at minimum they install dash to dock or dash to panel, re-enable minimise buttons, and install a system tray extension. The

It's not 1-1. Cython can compile regular Python, but you only really get significant speedups when you declare the types of things using cython-specific syntax.

Strange to use China's oversupply as a comparison when it too is the result of intentional government action. Governments can cause oversupply, governments can cause undersupply. Bet you can think of plenty of examples without my help

Your bot could be anonymous, the only thing you'd be forced to reveal is that it was a bot. just a [bot] marker of some kind next to the tweets that were posted by a bot. That's it. Still anonymous. I could tell you this comment w

I don't know anyone who believes this. Words mean what they're intended to mean and interpreted to mean, and that's how it's used in practice. Claiming otherwise is just a bald-faced "nuh-uh" when people who us

That's an orthogonal issue, we already use a pre-commit hook that prompts for the committers name instead of caching it. Who commits is one thing, who authenticates a push is another. I guess we could have a shared github account and I

Viruses are subject to selection, mutation, and heredity. These are the three necessary ingredients for Darwinian evolution. Whether they're defined as "life" or not isn't really relevant. (Personally, I have a pet defin

In this case the environment is shared and so there is a single user account - this is for example a computer in a laboratory, connected to instruments. Multiple user accounts would defeat the purpose of it being a shared computer. It'

What's the recommended way to manage git clones on shared computers now? In the past, multiple people would use these computers, and would push and pull using their own github credentials. I'm talking lab computers in a research c

They're talking about propagating a density matrix instead of a state vector. If you're not familiar, a density matrix is an n x n matrix where n is the number of elements in the corresponding state vector, and contains informatio

Signalling wokeness is wokeness. It's not like there's some authentic wokeness - calling it wokeness is accusing it of being inauthentic.

If the number crunching is numpy-heavy, multiple threads absolutely can use real thread-based parallelism. C extensions like numpy release the GIL and so can run in parallel.
