It is literally in there twice, what the hell are you talking about?

This is amazing. You are tripling down despite being unequivocally wrong. Just incredible

"We’ll see how it shapes up in the next few years. But if the racists or the other racists are still running the show, we really are just cooked."

The guy is using Twitter to push Great Replacement Theory and all sorts of other racist nonsense on a daily basis. He bought the site and turned into a Nazi sanctuary. You can defend him if you want but that only reflects on you

Yes, in 2025 praising Elon as "the adult in the room" is bonkers level insane. I don't know or care what the DA of a city with less than 1M people said about a crime, what an absurd comparison. Is that DA operating at the highest levels of government and stealing our data while pretending to be fighting for "efficiency"? Has that DA dismantled USAID and killed thousands of people?

> I clicked on the 2 links and search for the word "racist"

It is in the very first link, which makes it clear you didn't even read it before arguing with me about my assessment of the writer

The Elon process is 100% dependency on government subsidies

"I don’t trust the news very much. I have no idea if the guy in the El Salavdor prison had a fair trial, if the students being deported are criminals, or even if they are being deported at all."

Saying Elon is the only adult in the room is bonkers level insane. As is calling the Ds a racist party. This is merely one link, his site is full of equally nuts ranting.

This is referring to Elon Musk: "You are the closest thing to an adult in any room in America."

blactuaryon The Prison of Financial Mediocrity

"fair and square" = building wealth by owning homes while fighting tooth and nail to prevent enough new housing to be built. A house was never supposed to be an investment vehicle, it's a place to live and as we grew in population we needed more of it to keep up.

Then we are well and truly cooked, if we are so addicted to a specific photo-sharing platform that we will let this abuse continue

blactuaryon Court filings allege Meta downplayed risks to children and misled the public

We have vote with our dollars/attention and stop using their products. Including pressuring our friends and family to stop using them.

Quite the opposite these days. AMD just works and Nvidia is a crapshoot

blactuaryon Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

This is a divide among different Python devs it seems. A lot of people are running scripts, which I will do eventually, but I spend a ton of time in a REPL experimenting and testing.

blactuaryon Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

This is not the case anymore. With libmamba I've never waited more than a few minutes for resolving dependencies and installing. uv is faster for sure, but speed is no longer a big problem with conda

blactuaryon Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

This is me exactly. I have a default dev environment, and a couple for experimenting with new versions of various packages, I don't need or want "projects" most of the time

blactuaryon Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

I stay with it because last time I tried uv it was still directory/project focused vs. environment. With conda it doesn't matter where I am, I can activate any of my environments and run code

blactuaryon Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

uv does it by caching versions of packages so they can be shared across projects/environments. So you still have to store those multi-gig directories but you don't have so much duplication. If conda could do something similar that would be great
