Another nice thing about uv is it can install python itself in the venv. So no need to mess around with brew/deadsnakes and multiple global python versions on your dev system. This is actually an improvement over the node/nvm appr

I suspect that many academic papers are a petty move to win an argument that started one day over lunch.

The other package managers all come with compromises and performance issues, so uv is certainly welcome.

As a child, time changes were my first "peak behind the curtain" where I began to clue in to the artificiality of clocks, and later many other social constructs. To me, the absurdity of time changes is a reminder of how much of ou

Cool! I made something like this on an old netbook in university. I plotted bus locations in matplotlib, which was what I knew at the time. The busses would clump up where I lived, so it was helpful to know if I should rush breakfast to cat

> Students are not used to doing the necessary work to learn. They are used to doing the necessary work to pass. I'd like to point out this has nothing to do with cheating. Cheating happens at all levels of academic performance. I h

I don't hate the letter "s", but its sound is quite distinctive in conversation. In a crowded room, listen for the "s" sounds and you will see what I mean.

A good interface is testable, this is how you build up reliable abstractions to solve higher level problems. The devs on my team that take shortcuts here waste more time in the end. There is no cost trade-off.

Interesting, as NYC is one of the cities that supposedly have a UV kill stage, and mostly use chlorine for residual. https://www.trojantechnologies.com/en/applications/municipal...

For a historical comparison, Roman Centurions had teams of 60-80. They started out with 100, but that was too many. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion I don't think all of them were getting weekly one-on-ones

I gave in and bought a torque wrench recently for my bikes... modern bike components sure are light but they are also really easy to over-tighten.

I've been learning digital painting. Getting realistic materials is tricky indeed! So far, I've struggled with liquids, metals, glass, and the hardest of all: rocks. It's really hard to get the texture and shadow to feel natu

To dig into your metaphor, what would you say is the equivalent of the first exam in a programming context?

Normally I would concur, but I recently fell into a klondike solitaire binge and the only way out was to write a solver.

Hmm I can see it from that angle... the comic works if we presume Cueball on the left has never seen or used a GPS-powered app. GPS was not really novel in 2014, so for me it's a bit of a stretch. On the other hand, Randall Munroe woul

This one always felt off to me. Humans spent millennia working out the navigation problem. The comic exists in this brief window of time where one task was finally "solved" and the other one was just getting started. I'll add
