Not the OP. But posting from a low-use, 10 month old alt handle (?) doesn't really gesture good faith.

I agree. However, AI companies have managed to make publishers and copyright owners saints by comparison.

> Because uploads to PyPI are not atomic. They’re now capped within a 14 day window, but it would be extremely confusing to users to have the “release” hash of their dependencies c…

It’s not. Steel manning the OP (which at face value seems to be the most reasonable interpretation) they’re wondering why an entire release isn’t hash pinned. The response is that …

I feel you’re quibbling over semantics here. In concept why can’t the full set of files in a release be a single, one-way hash value, with both adding or releasing changing the has…

I’ve seen layoffs tied-to and to make up for AI spending. So the headline at least is inaccurate. That said, the savvier firms are looking to eliminate the army of low-quality, and…

People pay a premium for hand-made over factory-made. It’s too early to make a conclusion but its an interesting hypothesis.

Size isn’t an excuse. If there’s no real accountability then it’s a very real and negative problem.

Why is it not evidence?

Still counts! Poor, eager, young, and a bit geeky: C64 was made for those that fell into this category.

Umm, yeah…I was going to let this go but “Microsoft Update” is a later, more annoying though perhaps necessary turn of events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_pack https://mi…

You mean…service packs?

Idiot employers; only exceeded in idiocy by white nationalists targeting the easy (and non-issue) targets.

In the US—and I dare say most of the world—these are understood as not mutually exclusive. Only certain toxic personalities and cultures think otherwise.

No, try the institutions telling you what’s happening in real time. Only one party and one segment of society supported the Chicago school of economics. The billionaires and aspiri…

Thiel chose an easy target, and opened the door to destroying journalism. As un-American as it gets but hey, he’s the right color with legal bundles of cash; so much for our cheris…

The heart of the matter is that any licensing and exclusivity rights to our food supply is counter to our interests. For farmers, the right to grow breeds of crops unencumbered by …

Working as intended. Though Peter Thiel will do his utmost to further destroy journalists, I’m sure.

Why is a privately owned hotel compelled to deal with controversy not of its making? Perhaps things work differently for those of South African persuasion…

I think the problem is that it wasn’t just used merely as a placeholder, but to hard shutdown any discussions—often started by lay persons—about possibilities that didn’t involve b…

I have yet to see a Costco not filled to the brim.

Have you assessed the size of United Healthcare? The number of paper pushers and executives is sustained by your premium.

It doesn’t have to be this way, but the cost is performance (and falling behind competitors).
