there's a quantum interpretation that is fairly easy to explain, it's called Pilot Wave theory. It posits that quantum effects are caused by a something akin to a bouncing ball creating a standing wave. This leads to phenomena associated with both wave and particle. Interestingly the theory fits available experimental data, as far as I am aware.
Basically: "commoditise your complement " applied to Facebook, means they want to comoditise the foundational tech like AI. And open source is the route to that.
How much mixing does it do, measured in minutes? When I was making sourdough regularly, most of the work was turn and fold in the bowl every hour or two for the day. Therefore the work of a machine seems like overkill.
I hadn’t really thought about bread machine with sourdough, because it’s “supposed” to be rustic and old world. But having a box that does most of the work and I bake it the next day would probably increase my sourdough production which has averaged zero loaves for the last year or so.
A friend of mine who recently moved to the US from the UK put it to me like this: "imagine one state says they will pay out benefits without a permanent address. Where do you think the homeless are going to move to?"
The "The Obvious Answer to Homelessness" by Jerusalem Demsas, published by The Atlantic (linked in another comment by thamer) argues that this hypothesis is falsified, and can cite research:
> Few Republican-dominated states have had to deal with severe homelessness crises, mainly because superstar cities are concentrated in Democratic states. Some blame profligate welfare programs for blue-city homelessness, claiming that people are moving from other states to take advantage of coastal largesse. But the available evidence points in the opposite direction—in 2022, just 4 percent of homeless people in San Francisco reported having become homeless outside of California. Gregg Colburn and Clayton Aldern found essentially no relationship between places with more generous welfare programs and rates of homelessness. And abundant other research indicates that social-welfare programs reduce homelessness.
You can save so much time and effort using the Google colab notebooks rather than setting up python on your own machine (as is recommended in this guide)
You can save a little bit of copy-paste that will take a few minutes at most. If you do it, you can work directly with your own files, work offline, control the hardware, etc. I think it's simpler than this guide makes out too, as it tries to minimise the amount of space used, which is often not needed. Installing Anaconda instead of Miniconda would get you pretty much set up in one step, plus a single copy-paste step if you want all the packages the book uses.
Worth mentioning Jupyter Lite in this context too.
Warning: This link will open a Jupyter notebook in your browser:

It's worked pretty smoothly for me so far. I can't vouch for how it handles big data sets or obscure libraries, but seems like a pretty good starting point for those who are learning Python. It has become how I prefer to share simple notebooks with colleagues too.
But either of these options is nice for dealing with the situation of getting a beginner through the Python installation process. Another is WinPython, which is my preferred environment for local installation.
Absolutely true, but learning things that hard way was worth it to me. Plus I am old-fashioned enough to like doing things on my own hardware and not necessarily wanting to share my data/code every time for reasons of security or modesty (as in embarrassingly basic). I do like what Colab offers and appreciate having all that processing power/infrastructure available.
Are there anything like this online that could run stuff written for pygame? I know lots of beginners start with Scratch, but having some type of gaming in the browser for Python would be nice.
Sticking Cloudflare's free-tier CDN in front of your existing blog will probably help a lot. If nothing else, it'll make a stopgap while you're investigating alternatives.
I am certain this is not true, as I only use them for a subdomain CDN for hosting my static site, and don’t use them for any of my other dynamic sites that are on the same parent domain.
Maybe what you say was true at one point. I only set up a static site and used Cloudflare to front it within the last couple of months.
When I set it up a couple of years ago, it was a hard requirement and looking at their features, it still seems to be the case: https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/#overview (under 'Custom Nameservers')
When I tested a while back, I couldn't setup a subdomain in cloudflare, it only allowed me to setup the root domain. When I did this and just updated the NS records for the subdomain to point to cloudflare, their validation of the nameserver change never passed (since I only set NS records on the subdomain level).
I'm not trying to argue for arguing sake, just trying to show why I thought/said what I originally said :)
Honestly, if this does now work, or there's a way around it, I'll be really happy as I could switch a couple of subdomains to them :D
Fly.io can host instances of whatever (any kind of Docker container, so Ghost and Wordpress aren’t hard) and has a good free tier. You can also use Netlify or GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages for free static hosting, if you don’t need anything special. Wordpress.com is pretty low effort. I think all of these can do custom domains in their free tier.
It did have a solution. However, the packs all contained different information. Once this information was shared, an individual could solve the puzzle fairly easily. Group dynamics tended to block this though.
