yeah, discord the the true black hole of information

thankfully Python seems to be moving away from the “activating your venv” nonsense. If you use poetry or uv, you don’t necessarily need to “activate” it before running your code; though a lot of people still try to do it because of learning inertia I guess.

uv

Everything else feels 4 to 15 years behind.

basically sums up the opencv experience in Python.

great lib, very mediocre Python wrapper.

the least I’ve seen was 6 months. If I had to change passwords every 90 days I’d spam them with articles showing this is idiotic every month.

and only because the system forces users to renew passwords every year and this is his third year

some forks have outdated commits, the latest one recorded by wayback machine last month is e935959d2f9cc642bcbb5e7759b2b1e7196b0947, which can still be found in a few repos:

https://github.com/search?q=e935959d2f9cc642bcbb5e7759b2b1e7196b0947&type=commits

btw, the mirror linked in the github conversation is also out of date in relation to the original repo.

it’s interesting they call it windows subsystem for linux

- oh, so it’s a subsystem for Linux?

- no, it’s a windows subsystem

- …for Linux?

- kind of, I guess

I write mostly Python for 5 years and uv is indeed the best thing that happened to the Python landscape during this period.

I disagree that typescript is far nicer; even syntax-wise, type annotated Python seems much easier to read, write, and refactor; but I’ll give that Python needs to ditch pip and “requirements.txt” for good.

types are always ignored at runtime, they’re only useful when developing

fwiw the optical one in the Pixel 8 I use is pretty good and works better than the ultrasonic of my old Samsung, which was a disaster.

I briefly checked that the other day and it doesn’t seem to be the case. To my knowledge, the GNSS hardware will gather info on all available (supported + reachable) constellations to give the best location estimate.

There are ways to get raw measurements in some devices, but that’d be at the application level so I think it’s not what you’re looking for.

enough to cut a few zeros of a number with 10 million of them

I don’t think it’s a constraint, it’s more like a measuring stick to try to show how ridiculously long that time is

fwiw, you don’t need long gestures if you make them faster. Which phone are you using?

the paper used the entire population (200 thousand) and would take some 10 ^ 10 ^ 7 heat deaths of the universe

As such, we have to conclude that Shakespeare himself inadvertently provided the answer as to whether monkey labour could meaningfully be a replacement for human endeavour as a source of scholarship or creativity. To quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 87: “No”.

Wireless devices let me use 2 different tables and an armchair+TV. That would simply not be an option otherwise.

The benefits of going wireless vastly outweigh an occasional connection annoyance to me. And worst case I can still plug them in.
