In fact it contradicts guidelines, as they encourage downvoting without explanation in order to not clutter the thread. They were trying to explain to you, whereas most readers will sinply downvote. Yes, I think they meant that as a kindness.

The claude-signs make me skip about 50-80% of text, unconsciously seeking for humanity. I'm not sure if I'm typical, but you might not be aware that you're losing more than you thought you bargained for.

No, that seems a fair request, I like that idea! But I can also see that it's not likely to be implemented.

Though I'd see that transparency as a step forward, it's very likely to generate flamewars and even more discussion on the topic. If I was a mod I'd probably weigh the pros and cons of that to be negative overall.

Didn't writing this sentence feel like a good snap, as no one could possibly have a good come back at this?

Maybe that means you set the bar impossibly high.

I'm surprised how many different flags I saw while reading- I guess mostly from HN? Diverse crowd!

I'm (reluctantly) a python guy, and uv really is a much different experience for me than all the other tools. I've otherwise had much the same experience as you describe here. Maybe it's because `uv` is built in rust? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

But I'd also hesitate to say it "solves all my problems". There's plenty of python problems outside of the core focus of `uv`. For example, I think building a python package for distribution is still awkward and docs are not straightforward (for example, pointing to non-python files which I want to include was fairly annoying to figure out).

It is my experience that if there is a github for a project like this, that's usually a much better source of information than the landing page.

> what happens when most people are incapable of following your "reasonable" rules?

The black death returns? I am only half joking. RFK jr believes in miasma theory of illness and thinks the germs theory is wrong. If all of us start to act like him, we will have millions of deaths. I vehemently dislike the "believe in science" ~crowd~ [e: I should say dogma], and on other issues I've said virtually the same thing as you've said in this comment.

But not here. If we truly can't agree that something as stupid as reviving the miasma theory of illness ought to be mocked, then we are lost.

This is exactly a good example though, because they wouldn't have made fun of a right wing politician way back when- RFK jr is just that ridiculous. Linking vaccines to autism, stopping vaccine and cancer research which is going to cost millions of lives, and more.

You're asking the impossible, such a person can't be reasoned with, and will certainly not listen to education from NPR. Mocking is the correct response. To me, your example exactly underlies the point that NPR didn't get more extreme, but the news they cover did.

Was the preprint the full text?

I can't find a full text version, and I'm really interested to see whether they calculated the moderator of being overweight/obese, as that seems to me to be the most likely explanation for a correlation between IF and higher cardiovascular disease mortality.

It's not listed in their list of confounders they've corrected for, so maybe I should assume they haven't done that? If they have, maybe I'll stop with IF, otherwise I'm not sure what the results really show.

If your function has a McCabe complexity higher than 1024, then boolean arguments are the least of your problems...

Nit pick, but proof by contradiction is necessarily stronger as it is deductive reasoning, and this kind of "proof" by anecdotal evidence doesn't rise above abductive reasoning. Still useful, very much not a proof.

I've noticed no problems, and I'm usually pretty controlling about performance- what am I missing?

You can leave the TODO in the comments- e.g. ruff the linter has an optional rule to disallow TODO comments unless it's followed by an issue url.

If you put that in the CI, then you can use TODOs either as blockers you wish to fix before merging, or as long term comments to be fixed in a future ticket.

Could you post that manual? I'd be interested in it!

Can you recommend anything by Badiou in particular?

If society at large, and judges in particular think it's true, then it's true. A partially socially constructed world is like that.

So are LSPs- which by now are everywhere, they're a huge leap forward over previous implementations in (n)vim and emacs imho.

They changed the study target effect (which hour range), design (interventional vs observational) and inclusion/ exclusion criteria multiple times.

I don't really care at that point what their conclusion says, because I have no idea how to interpret the statistics in a theoretically sound way now.

Do the analyses account for the economic conditions? I see two citations for less jobs since 2022, but the world has changed significantly since then, not just by the introduction in generative AI. Correlation vs causation etc etc

NHST is wrong as a matter of theory. It is a weird amalgamation of null hypothesis testing (Fisher) and significance testing (Neyman and Pearson). Those two approaches by themselves are correct, and theoretically sound, given the appropriate assumptions are met.

NHST is not associated with any statistician, and you will find no author claiming to be its inventor. It is a misunderstanding of statistics apparently originating from psychology back in the 1960s, or at least that's as far back as I've found it.

My team has 15min standups, in holiday times we regularly stop after 10min. Very focussed on the sprint goal and getting each other unstuck- it's great. Much better than the "let's walk over every issue on the jira board and argue about technical implementations".

I can't figure out if this is genuine or a snarky way to make fun of the proposed method.

This is why I chose a thinkpad for my laptop: I knew I wanted to switch to linux eventuality, and lenovo is very linux friendly. Many of these issues exist (or are exacerbated) because the hardware drivers don't support linux the way they support windows.

I absolutely agree, linux advocates must be honest about the shortcomings. In my case even on the thinkpad I experience the multi display scaling issue you mentioned, and bluetooth can be a little finnicky for my headphone (though this is much better than a couple years back! Usually simoly restarting the headphone solves everything).

I think it's very much worth it, and other than some of those minor issues I think current linux distributions are good enough to wholeheartedly recommend them over windows. That is if you're not held hostage by some windows only software.

E: about screensharing, I can't screenshare from teams on firefox, but from chrome it works fine, maybe that's the same for zoom?

I see a bright future in social media, politics, and livestream gaming ahead of you if you do.

I appreciate the Lindy effect, but I'd be very cautious in applying it in just any domain. In particular IT, where new project continually spring up to dethrone others. Another 30 years for Debian seems reasonable, but I'd probably bet against another 100. A metaculus question for the longevity of projects like debian would be fascinating.

Among my friends, the feeling is that the USA used to be seen as a valued ally, and now it has shown itself as a fickle and untrustworthy ally. Yes people are various shades of upset, and yes people now value European countries splitting from the USA. These two views are compatible, and have nothing to do with class.

Do you know of someone who has successfully done this?

Apparently so. Mind explaining your reasoning?

That'll probably be a dealbreaker.

GIMP

Don't get me wrong, I am still gratefully using GIMP, it's a fine tool for what it is and I am happy with it. But from a "meet people where they are" perspective, it's absurd to tell someone who uses tools like Photoshop that GIMP is a viable alternative as it is right now.
