Put up a picture rail


I have no idea what that is and I refuse to find out


it's a strip of moulded timber that you fix at the top of your wall, say a foot down, and then using a picture hook you can hang whatever pictures you like and replace them as many times as you like without doing any more drilling

I appreciate you going against my wishes :)

This is cool! My app would also help here!

ok, what's the threat model?


if you listened to the press at the time you would imagine any leavers reading this would now be begging to get back in


welcome to venv, not just windows


Python really needs to fix this problem. The language is so full of warts that it's almost akin to the modern PHP.

I'm hoping for a Python version that makes this zen item [1] the number one priority:

> "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

[1] https://peps.python.org/pep-0020/


As a PHP developer I refuse to use Python because I know how unwieldy it's felt whenever I've had to do serious work with it.

To each their own, but even PHP's setup these days is way ahead.


Composer autoloading is a brea to of fresh air compared to the python packaging Hydra. The only place Python does better is by having a manylinux base that enforces libraries, and provides a way for packages to include native libraries. PHP binary extensions (and similarly Ruby) are ver immature in comparison.


For real

Where there is a choice there is a feud being born. And even worse the most basic it is

At least we now have pyproject.toml, now we need stuff that upgrades the packages in a non-braindead way (and a lot of this is to blame on the maintainers)

If there's one advantage on the "leftpad" way of doing things is that if js had as bad dependency resolution as python all js developers would have been unalived by dependency hell


Would the issue persist on ZFS with dedup? Nix(OS)?


Considering every subthing can pin their own dependencies, probably "a little, but not enough"


Controversial opinion: the insistence on the venv bullshit is the stupidest decision made in programming languages in the past twenty years, and it is entirely unnecessary.

I've used Python for more than a decade on Arch Linux, across many machines at home and work. For essentially all of that time, I've been "sudo pip install"-ing to my heart's content. The number of times this has actually caused problems with my own Python scripts is less than the number of times I've had to help colleagues figure out venv bullshit in the past six months alone. The number of times that "sudo pip install" has caused breakage of anything except my own scripts is zero in ten years.

AFAICT the Python core team has essentially no understanding of the level of sophistication and the actual pain points experienced by 95% of Python users. Python is the software equivalent of duct tape, and it is used accordingly. Putting the duct tape in a box that is hard to open and covered with warning labels is not a meaningful improvement.


Indeed. I do the same. venv needs to die.


site_packages was annoying from the start

but I was like you until I got into ML

"wrong version of pytorch" and friends


Incompatible ABI for Numpy is even worse. Damn you Tensorflow!


There UMG Ruined It


Which OS? I haven't seen it on Linux or Mac OS High Sierra

perhaps the permission system is becoming more fine grained on your system


HighSierra running FF 72.0.2

It wants perm to “Access ip address and host information”. Why does no script want this?

ps: just checking and it already has in FF

+ Access your data for all websites

+ Access browser tabs

+ Store unlimited amount of client-side data

+ Access browser activity during navigation

???

Is this all OK?


So far it makes sense to me. Perhaps look into the changelist for something related. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/vers...

From the noscript extension page it wants the flllowing:

Access browser tabs

Store unlimited amount of client-side data

Access browser activity during navigation

Access your data for all websites


that’s exactly what the perms are right now. question I am asking, since I have always blindly trusted No Script, is how “accessing browser activity during navigation” related to the simple job of blocking scripts from domain x? And now it wants ip address info too? Why? Keep in mind it worked all these years without additional perms. Most of those are from the last expanded permissions.


I suggest you inspect the changelog and any available code for answers you’re looking for. Ensure you don’t have a malicious alternate version.

From the Firefox documentation:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/permission-request-mess...

The extension could listen for the steps the browser takes to navigate from a link to another page. The extension could then provide new features for the content on the page.

Extensions requesting this permission might:

Detect when streamed videos are about to play and provide a download feature Look for and prevent ad pop-ups from opening


thanks.


Or PG turns up with Aaron Swartz and says "he's one of your founders now" and when he dies, you can stop saying it.


any time you need a window that can also display data


That’s gonna be an expensive window.


Or, the window can be free if you are OK with it displaying ads!


38k in Leeds / Cardiff is very different to 38k in London / Cambridge


Leeds is the best paying place outside London overall apparently, better than Cambridge [1]. In all those locations the average salary overall is around the national average, so, again, claiming that 38k is "punitive" for in-demand software devs. is taking the p. especially when the article focusses on London.

as it is on a Bad Design website

rotate the knob to highlight "volume"

and then press "up / down" to set it
