I use "git add ." (or rather -A), but I will always do a "git status" first to make sure I'm not doing something silly. Of course you still have to be careful about subdirectories, which is why I usually also do a

I'm learning here, but for option 2, besides the security risk, doesn't this create the possibility that users could get a broken/unfinished package any time they're updating to a recently "published" release?

Yes I understand it's a tradeoff, but I'm saying I would prefer a different tradeoff. It would be more intuitive to me if running a cell always invalidated the cells below; this would make variable reassignment unambiguous, just l

I was interested in marimo, but I became less interested when I realized that they traded off being able to assign to a variable more than once in order to allow out-of-order execution of cells. I mean as a Jupyter user, I typically do bo

> what differentiates Ente from iCloud Photos - at first (assumptive) glance, it appears redundant. I think the point is that it's an alternative clone of iCloud or Google Photos that's not from Apple or Google. For some people

Sure, but it's designed to minimize the chance that a quantum fluctuation could change the outcome of a computation, right? Whereas in the brain that might not be the case. A lot of the "interesting" neural activity (e.g. rel

Why would anyone assume that pasting an image into a CLI interface would work? The fact that this is framed as a bug is wild to me (but very cool that there is a way to do it now)

You can be vegan as part of a health conscious diet, but strict veganism is usually motivated by ethics, not health. (That being said obviously there's more market share if you're in the intersection of the venn diagram.)

Check out optype (specifically the optype.numpy namespace). If you use scipy, scipy-stubs is compatible and the developer of both is very active and responsive. There's also a new standalone stubs library for numpy called numtype, but

Windows Terminal and PowerToys are pretty nice. The Phone Link app is convenient, and screenshots are way better (no need to paste into Paint anymore, just use snip and sketch)

I mean yeah I kind of get it, sometimes, it depends what mood I'm in. Sometimes I try to resist this feeling though, because I think being connected with people around me is nice and there are general benefits to being in a friendly co

God I can't believe I'm gonna be that guy, but I feel like in some of these situations one should just forward the text to an LLM and call it a day.

The example in the article is a waiting room. Or you could be waiting to catch the subway, or in line at the grocery store. In those situations how is somebody trying to talk to you preventing you from completing your task? Otherwise you&#x

You know the ribbon can be collapsed so that it behaves more like a drop-down menu, right?

I get that the scope of the article is a bit larger than this, but it's a pet peeve of mine when authors acknowledge the advantages of conda and then dismiss it for...silly? reasons. It kind of sounds like they just don't know man

I absolutely can tell the difference between house temperatures of 67, 68, and 69 F. Not so much down in the 30s, but in the typical ambient range of temperature, that level of precision seems to match my body's sensitivity (in fact, I

I interpreted the original comment totally differently - I thought they were saying that the programmers [who created these tools] should pay more attention to how productive [or not] power users can be with the tools [that they created]. A

Well, of course almost all information comes with an agenda, but perhaps the more useful distinction is whether the information is presented in good faith, i.e. is honest about the agenda (which actual advertising can also be).

I get that if you're distributing software to the wider public, you have to make sure these scary alerts don't pop up regardless of platform. But as a savvy user, I think the situation is still better on Windows. As far as I'

The latter is what would be most useful imo. Even Matlab can type check matrix sizes with constants these days, but I often wish I could use variables to express relationships between the sizes of different dimensions of inputs to a functio

I can see that some of the categories are a stretch semantically; however, I didn't see the specific categories and their names as central to the point of the article. I think the goal is to demonstrate that 1) everyone engages in pers

It's crazy to me that a significant number of people know "cos" and "sin" primarily though CSS. Is that really what this is implying? Or maybe people just find them hard in general, but it seems odd to think of them

How milquetoast... "Young people want to pay with cash more, and there might be interesting reasons for that, but ehh cards are convenient and cash is gross so still no cash for me!" What's the point of this?

I have a faint memory of Enter creating a page break rather than a newline on a school Mac when I was a kid. Maybe that was in AppleWorks?

Isn't the conventional wisdom "at least 2 backups, one offsite"? My lab gets by with 2 copies for most of our data: one on our Synology NAS and one mirrored to Box. With the size of data we're dealing with, loading every

The author dismisses C++ out of hand, but I really think it does a pretty good job of making this a non-issue. Want a structured value type? Sure, that's a struct with public fields by default, passed by value with automatic copy const

Projectors are what springs to mind for me. Though I guess less relevant if you work remotely.

This is like an infomercial contrived situation... Sure you have to update the .gitignore sometimes, but Sisyphean ? Nahh. It takes 30 seconds.

I will second and say that for me, when a book is about a topic I've thought about a fair bit already, I don't want to read it unless I'm convinced that the author has thought about it more deeply or from some different persp
