I'm from EU and it is a thing. I use iMessages whenever the other side has an iPhone. In my social circle, it's about two thirds. But it is also true that many people who have an iPhone still use Whatsapp or Messenger as the default communication channel even if the other side has an iPhone as well.

For a perspective, 3m euro is about two lifetimes of an average salary in Berlin (north of 2k monthly after taxes)

I haven’t been able to find whether the recommended 7-9 hours per night refers to the time in bed or to actual sleep time (~1 hour less). Does anyone know?

"In regular use" is an understatement. Virtually all manuscripts published on Arxiv.org, which comprises a large portion of all contemporary physics research output, is typeset in Latex.

It doesn’t matter what the technical definition is in aviation. What matters is what expectations about Tesla’s technology it creates for most people.

Because publishing a package on PyPI is trivial compared to publishing on the Anaconda cloud. For the latter, you need to build your package for every platform and Python version you want to support. So sou need to setup some CI. This is just such an overkill for a pure-Python package. It makes a lot of sense for a project with a nontrivial C extension though, and I do build a conda package for one such project of mine. For everything else, I publish just on PyPI.

I find this view satisfying: “free will” is the feeling that our decisions are the consequence of the train of our inner thoughts. In that sense, free will exists. The following question is whether that feeling corresponds to physical reality or is an illusion. Here I believe it’s the latter and free will is in fact merely an interpretation of what happens around us. See the book Feee Will from Sam Harris for more.

Well, he was right about that, although there is little doubt his intent was to deceive.

Words are used in a context which shapes their meaning. “Is” there implies to most that the aircraft already exists.

With Safari on macOS, the OS reports a negligible energy impact for the extension.

But what you describe is not at all what the article is about. This is about identifiable information, which has nothing to do with anyone’s humanity.

The $15 adapter is most likely of similar quality as the DAC and other audio components in the phone, so I don’t see the point. (Also, most people I know with $1000 headphones use an external audiophile-grade DAC anyway.)

Well, sure, but those are not specific reasons to take a job in a startup, which the comment was about, those are reasons to take any job.

The Dutch and Danish approach to cycling is just from a different world. Even cities that I consider decent for cycling, like Berlin, pale in comparison to any larger Dutch or Danish city. And once you introduce cycling into commuting systems at that scale, yes, it enables you to design those systems in new ways.

You might find the book Why We Sleep interesting.

I have not tested it with anything else than the Python kernel, but it uses Jupyter Client to communicate with the kernel, which is kernel agnostic. So you should be able to do just “knitj -k <kernel name> ...”.

True. Actually that's what I meant by "intermingling inputs and outputs". KnitJ still shows both code and its output in the rendered HTML, but unlike in Jupyter Notebook, the code is stored and edited separately in a single source file.

Already now you can run a Jupyter notebook on an http server and serve it to Safari in an iPad.

I love Jupyter Notebook for experimenting and rapid creation of reports, but dislike it for not being able to use my editor and for intermingling inputs and outputs in a single file. So I'm working on an alternative frontend to Jupyter kernels, which is heavily inspired by KnitR: https://github.com/azag0/knitj It is still being developed, but it's functional and I use it every day.

Let's hope then that Hřib is sensible enough that if he finds out he's not up to the job in the process, he'll cede it to Čižinský

We must use the phone in very different ways. I spend hours a day in a terminal, so I live by a file system on a computer. Yet I've never felt the need for a filesystem on an iPhone.

For one, as a package developer, publishing a source distribution of a package on PyPI is almost trivial. Publishing on Anaconda Cloud requires you to build the binary packages on all the OS's that you want to support (and for all Python versions you want to support) which most people delegate to some CI. So there is a whole new level of complexity involved.

For pure-python library projects, I found Poetry the best option these days (haven't tried Hatch). But it is still heavily under development, so it's not necessarily a black-box solution.

The biggest pain point of Pipenv for me is that it cannot as yet selectively update a single dependency without updating the whole environment.

It is an overkill for pure-python packages or packages with simple C extensions. Conda was developed specifically to handle non-python dependencies, which would be difficult to build in setup.py.

Also, a conda package is not a replacement for a distutils/setuptools package. When building a conda package, one still calls setup.py. So every python conda package has to be a distutils/setuptools package anyway.

Yes. But that’s not the point. The point is that the leverage of both parties entering the negotiation is in most cases very skewed.

If the email to BBC was written by Torvalds, then he is a great communicator. Very few people can write with such clarity.

Any plans to implement interactive rebase in some way? Right now I'm heavily dependent on GitUp, where things like swapping commits or squashing them is often a matter of a single keyboard shortcut.

I have written https://github.com/azag0/knitj to solve a similar use case, but with an alternative interactive browser interface

Concurrent or parallel? For concurrency, python has asyncio, which many people consider a success.

For parallel execution, there's the GIL, but in practice it rarely matters, because once you want to do parallel execution, you have most likely a computationally intensive task to do, at which point you call down to C or something, and then GIL doesn't matter.
