That's a fair point. I live in embedded world most of the time, and using third party libraries in that space is not always so easy :)

Yes. And that is confusing, as pip is a de facto standard IMO.

This is a good question. I have wondered the same thing about software in general. In this specific case, though, there are 313 open issues and 33 pull requests. So people are finding bugs in the current version (and fixing them).

C/C++.

It looks like 1.4k people have forked it. The question is, which fork do I use? The problem is not that the source is unable to be updated, the problem is how to you organize peoples' efforts under a trusted maintainer long term? How d

1. Because pipenv is easier to use. 2. Because it's not at all clear that pipenv is a third party library. It's made by the same group that makes pip, so it's confusing that pip would be considered a de-facto standard but not

Things like this are a good answer to when people question why internet centralization and walled gardens matter. If these things were hosted across thousands of servers, federated, or under a license that made them able to be copied, there

With all the research coming out about gut bacteria's ties to pretty much everything, this makes me wonder if other supposedly innocuous ingredients could have an effect we didn't notice before, and in adults too.

Or signal, which has similar functionality but is always end to end encrypted and open source.

Don't forget about Signal. It works great as an sms replacement

Sounds good to me. Just let developers build.

You're slightly misunderstanding me. I'm not saying we must provide people with cheap housing. I'm saying developers should be allowed to build it. For a profit. The government is preventing the free market from building mo

When you consider that it costs over $3000/month for a single bedroom apartment, the local government prevents the building of high-rise buildings, and the climate is comfortable outdoors year-round, it makes sense. It will continue to

But maybe if it happens often enough that you need a "crying room", something is wrong.

Can you define new nouns and verbs? AKA objects and functions? Imagine being able to have the specification, documentation, and actual code implementation all be the same thing!

Right, but in industries that are not replaced (like mail), you're forgetting about the effect increased efficiency will have on demand. A counterexample would be when looms increased employment in textiles. Less people were needed per

I have a fairly consistent meditation practice, and sometimes when I'm tired, my "inner voice" contains, in addition to random snippets of half-formed thoughts, snippets of languages that I don't speak. Usually Spanish.

That's a good question without a simple answer. Here are some of the contributing factors. One factor is processed foods. They often either have lower satiety/calorie ratios, and refined sugars with no accompanying fiber has actua

Don't forget obesity as a major contributing factor. Pollutants are no doubt to blame in large part, but it's very well established that obesity results in lower testosterone, and I would not at all be surprised if it also resulte

If weight/volume is not an issue, there are lots and lots of technologies that will work well for energy storage. Compressed air, flywheels, heated water, lead-acid.

Functional programming is the answer. In python the answer is just this: def action(thing) ... map(action, array_of_things) I'm sure there's some similar solution in Javascript.

No. I like coffee and I don't see it as bad for me in moderation. Caffeine is addictive but it would be hard to convince me that it's carte blanche bad for me just because it's addictive.

This is as good a thread as any to say that I don't like object oriented programming. When I have had the occasion to use some open source library to do something (mostly in Python, occasionally in Javascript), it's been rare that

In Vim+ctags, jump to definition is just "Ctrl+[". I use it a lot because it's so much faster than searching.

I like the 3 except for the giant panel in the middle of the car that functions as speedometer and all other instrumentation at the same time. You have to look away from the road and gorilla finger your way through things to change anything
