This replaces a use case of pip freeze. If you only use pip freeze for that use case then it is a replacement.

IRC is pretty much perfect. No "X user is typing" messages. No ads, no tracking, no javascript. No hidden instance of chrome running. The community even self selects in to my own interests.

I prefer this resolver to `pip freeze` type pinning for dependency pull safety. Pip freeze makes it a nightmare to remove old packages if you have hundreds of packages frozen.

How many trips to the store do these deliveries save? If I order something small it likely hitches a ride with my neighbors delivery and the delivery of the package itself will have negligible carbon footprint.

If you build your own kernel and you can choose between hundreds of options including building many components as optionally loaded modules. Its all configured through an ncurses interface. Want a kernel that doesn’t support USB? Sure.

A person's job is largely dependent on their own value system. The worth of a person does not correspond to how much that person values career prestige. It is easy to believe the opposite when you value career prestige highly.

Those clerics were ahead of their time. They probably would have banned large cardinals as well (infinites so large we can't prove whether or not they exist.)

From a selfish perspective, I like the current system. It makes it easier to stand out. Understand where depth is lacking on your team and become an expert. Whenever problems occur you become the go-to. Pros and cons but mostly pros.

Keep in mind technological knowledge is not the only factor. We pass on hiring plenty of technically competent people because of their communication skills. Knowing what you don’t know is one way to improve your communication skills.

I am impressed with the level of linux knowledge in this thread. How do people become linux kernel hackers? Most of the developers I know (including myself) use linux but have very little awareness beyond application level programming.

Talk is cheap, voting is not. How do you explain blue collar workers voting red?

That still seems like a wild literal over-interpretation. If we think like a physicist we can say that prosocial lying is wrong yet still understand that the mathematician will consider it okay in the limit case.

Because of the mask debacle I would say that Twitter was a better source of information about the pandemic than any major world health organization. I dislike social media more than the average bear. Imagine a crack pot on twitter gets one

This is a very European comment responding to a very American comment. That paper is too sober to represent any side of American politics.

You can easily distinguish GPT-3 from a human. GPT-3 does not write like a human nor would it be able to respond to strange queries in a way that a human would. Its quite far from passing the Turing test.

I found those age adjusted rates some time after I posted. It strikes me as odd. I'm sure if we adjust by enough rates we can come to whatever conclusion we want. What if we adjusted for gang prevalence and suicide rate as well?

The lowest? I checked wikipedia and was able to find that Arizona had a 30% lower rate in 2016 and is a "shall issue" state.

Interestingly enough, a story about government corruption was recently censored by major social media companies.

I understand it in the sense that I can conceptualize it. I just have a hard time believing it is really best for business. They determine how much money they make per user and find that signed in users make more money. Signed in users on t

I dislike all things "new web". The websites feel like layers upon layers of Javascript, fancy designs that feel like they are responsible for the decreased responsiveness. Styles delegated to the same CSS frameworks that everyone

Treat this article with the same skepticism you would as if the article said "Covid-19 lower in counties without mask mandates." This is true according to the data, by the way. That being said, wear masks. Be upset with major worl

How do you define vertex in a way such that this would make sense? A square is a square, not an octagon with invisible vertices.

It's simpler. HCQ was mentioned by he-who-shall-not-be-named. Many in the United States will have an opinion no matter what the evidence looks like. Culture wars effecting your viral drug treatments? It's gone too far. Become a cu

It's quite gauche to label jobs as skilled or unskilled so I'll make no determination. But I assume you're talking about the UFCW. I had no knowledge of this union before your comment; I will admit that it changes my percepti

You can't determine the toll being a content moderator will have on you. How are you supposed to determine whether the job is worth the salary? The true costs come later. This suggests a legislative approach to the problem but, good lu
