What does poetry deliver beyond what pyenv gets you? I haven't used either tool super extensively.

> hackintosh is likely in the rear view mirror for the next generation of tinkerers.

Part of this might be that making Hackintoshes is so much harder now, but part of it might also be that OOTB desktop Linux is luxuriously good these days compared to where it used to be. Ubuntu and Pop!_OS linux are absolutely on par with MacOS for a user who meets the (admittedly higher) entry requirements for using Linux.

It's the long con!

It's just like pickpocketing in Skyrim; it's legal if you just withdraw.

Well, you could throw in something like this - https://github.com/nicobrenner/commandjobs/compare/master......

You can also go further by writing code that prompts the user for these values, one by one, and stores them in a config file. But for a CLI application, you might reasonably wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze there. CLI users tend to be comfortable editing a config file to hold a secret.

Edit: or if some of those values are actually optional, then you would maybe exclude them from this check.

I hope so! Unfortunately it will definitely be massively increasing the ratio of documentation to intentional documentation, so we'll have to see whether it increases documentation usability or not.

And while we're being pedantic:

Tenets!

It's that the poster didn't give any supporting comment to their claim that a lot of [the idealogy that is being foisted on the minds?] is "even anti-American".

Claiming something is un-American is fine. We're (mostly?) red-blooded Americans here.

However, pointing at something and saying it's un-American and expecting the crowd to gasp in horror and join you in denouncing it, is a very clear signal of a Fox-news-or-something-deadened brain.

This is not a deepfake, though, to be clear; it's a YouTube video of a real GitLab data science staff meeting.

> But the vast majority of people who go to programming bootcamps don't get rich quickly, or rich at all.

Of course not, but that's the sales pitch, isn't it?

If you took away the dark patterns from TurboTax.com, there would be nothing left but the brand name and typeface.

If you do a job search for "Django", "flask" or "fastapi" you'll see that there are a lot of web dev jobs using it.

Excellent! Small bug: null responses are considered "correct" in the right/wrong counter. I've skipped 3 and gotten 3 wrong, and it's showing 3/6 correct.

VERY cool product. I have a quibble. I searched for "cool pokemon to use" and the top result was "How to use Paypal on Amazon" from "online-tech-tips.com". Understandable that the search results are not perfect - the second result was a perfect match for what I searched for - but anyway, clicking the "dials" icon gets me the following options:

"""Do you like results from online-tech-tips.com? (thumbs down, thumbs up, or banned emoji options) <a href='make-an-llm-do-something-stupid.com">Summarize result</a> """

IMO this feedback widget and (maybe) its backing API could use work. It's not that I like or don't like results from online-tech-tips.com; it's that they're a bad result for the specific context of this search.

If there are eggs then weigh the eggs, etc.

Programmers!

You're right and you should say it!

I think Dropbox has all the features you mentioned from Google Photos, except possibly for tag-style albums instead of directory-style, and photo-focused tooling such as cropping and so on.

Part of your point seems to be that the OP, being a software engineer, should not have to pirate Spotify since presumably they have access to money. But that's not really the case for all devs, and moreover, nobody who isn't a dev is able to make a tool like this in the first place.

Yes, my (lay) understanding is that MasterYoda has it backwards and your explanation is correct.

I think the biggest difference here is that Portugal abolished prohibition, acting with unity as an entire country. That's very different than when cities or states do away with it, but there's unrestricted travel between there and thousands of counties next door or a few states away, where prohibition is in full force. Those counties get hit with not only an "on-steriods" version of the symptom in question, but also any other demographic patterns that are corrolated with it for any reason, such as (in the case of IV drug users) extreme poverty.

One frequent response to this point, is for someone to say "I'm open to decriminalization arguments, but I'm not supporting anyone who says 'The entire country has to adopt my policy in order for it to work!'" Which sounds reasonable, on its face, but in this case it seems like it really is the best option.

Yes, I got the sense from reading this that the author has neither spent a lot of time contributing to a wiki, nor writing software, because both tasks are scarily complex in a way that the blog entry skates over. But then I clicked "About" and I see they are in fact a staff engineer at reddit, so shows what I know.

Once I adopted doom emacs, I found that I started using vi much more situationally; I dropped (my beloved) YouCompleteMe and the other heavier plugins from my configuration, using it as a much more bare-bones and general-purpose editor, like a bicycle for little alleys where the doom tank won't fit or if it is broken. Also, of course, while SSHed (or kubectl exect -it {pod} bash) into remote servers, because I don't know how to set up tramp.

`vimtutor` from the CLI (on a computer with vim installed) is the best way I know of to pick up vim.

How would I go about lifting the damper on a piano key?

Yes, it's actually Ahab speaking, lol. He goes on to muse that thinking is probably the exclusive domain of God, since thinking requires "a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that." This is the first couple paragraphs of chapter 135, "The Chase. — Third Day".

"Here’s food for thought, had Ahab time to think; but Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels."

When does James Bond live in a tent house?

Actually the trending posts I saw when I clicked through to social.lol (omg.lol's Mastodon instance) are most of the same posts from my Explore page (the # icon) on urbanists.social, and most of these posts are not from either of these two instances but from diverse (and usually individually interesting!) ones, but please keep enjoying that haterade if you like the taste.

Take a look, for example, at the timeline in https://xkcd.com/1732/. It contains (almost) no prediction, but once you have internalized the information in it your own predictions on the climate topic are likely to become a lot more powerful because better informed.

A paper not containing predictions is not the same thing as its having no predictive power!
