I’ve been rewatching ReGenesis and you can sorta see a similar background to it (it being of the same vintage): bio attacks are the Big Bad, there’s actual mobilisation against viral spread, etc

kinda whiplash just how fucking rapidly the antivaxxer movement (and general anti-science) managed to spread and become popular in the years hence (and specifically circa the ~2016 mark)

and the other wild part is now this whole mess is only the one part mirroring it, there’s a whole other debt market thing that’s also replaying CDOs too. this one is more likely to be the fuse tho

do they know that doing this won't solve their NYSE link latency problem?

(and that I even had to type that second bit is a big bit of my gripe with python in the last decade)

yeah the dep resolution and instance management being snappy as hell are big reasons why people went for uv, but I suspect this will now get reevaluated (it should’ve been earlier)

pdm is what you want afaik btw, poetry is outclassed for a while now

as I said elsewhere: I suspect this is happening because cash is becoming tighter

watching the saltman interview (in this frame) is…so much worse

I was planning to get drunkwatch it but I haven’t really had the headspace to get that mad this week

it’s amazing what knowing even a lick of history can do, hey?

I’ve heard of it, including in some outlets that (at the distance I am to it) seemed to pass the sniff test

but I’ve also seen it kick around TPOT

so I’d definitely want to seek out the advice of an expert if I cared about it

found a paper that may be of interest and review interest to some here

linked via this toot that hit my feed

 

Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Unfortunately I can’t snip from mobile easily now, but maybe someone else can archive it and comment with archive link?

Not entirely the usual fare, but i figured some here would appreciate it

I often rag on the js/node/npm ecosystem for being utter garbage, and this post is a quite a full demonstration of many of the shortcomings and outright total design failures present in that space
