Partner works at a county agency. There are 1-2 weather-related days off you can use, but if you experience more weather than that in a year you are free to use your vacation or take unpaid time off. This applies also if the job site is closed.


Do you have examples of "just use python 2" still being a thing in 2024?


Yeah, whenever i need to write a quick script and have no time to suffer "$library needs python 3.x, where x must be > $value and <= $value2, and not a prime except when that ends in a 3, except on leap days"

2 is stable and does not change from under you. Which is what you want in a programming langiuage


In my recent experience, this dependency hell is quite specific to scientific / ML python.

The general state of ML code is abysmal, as it attracts a lot of inexperienced developers, and Python's duck/relaxed typing spirit makes it easy to write incomprehensible code with megabytes of unnecessary or bloated dependencies.

It's not bad per se, the amount of innovation is impressive, but a lot of it is a castle of cards, from low level libraries to end-user software.


Python 3.10 seems to work for almost everything, and Python 2 most certainly doesn't. In fact, even latest works for almost everything - there's an alternative to 99.9% of Python 2 stuff in Python 3.


*patently


Ah, let's not forget Lua =)


I don't think it's that amazing for an engineer. Google is much better if you're looking for things related to Intel compilers, for example. Try searching for «intel ipo fuse-ld=lld icx» on both engines.

Note: I am a paying Kagi customer


I did - and Kagi results look pretty darn good to me. What were you trying to point out?


Extremely often. I look at source code, API docs, issues, etc. on my phone all the time when I am on the bus or in the bathroom or in bed or wherever.


That is a really fun idea, I love it.


Could you link to somebody who is teaching npm users to "fire and forget?" Someone who is promising a substitute for competence in basic programming theory? Clearly you and I do not consume the same content.


This is just a discourse based on "I need to churn out something, I need that fast and I didn't start in the web game when Backbone and E4X were solid corporate choices". If you are not in a hurry, work in a solid team and have a good attention span, a lot of clickbait idiocy around JS may not happen. It's just that the lone inexperienced guy is one of millions inexperienced guys who are taught the wrong ways everyday.

I'm presenting you one of countless examples: a lot of coding bootcamps teach React, maybe with TS, maybe with JS.

Enter react-create-app.

https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app

The docs are a link, while the commands you can copy and paste are laid out at 9th row in the README. That will become a habit for a junior.


I don't really see the problem with the CRA docs.


You will never see it, blinded by a sound experience in UNIX.


Are there any in-browser WASM implementations of *TeX?


Not LaTeX but you might like https://github.com/typst/typst



Nice, thanks!


Is using the bathroom or stretching your legs advisable?


You don't have to live in fear of turbulence when flying, just keep your seatbelt on when you're seated. Turbulence is fairly rare but it's still a numbers game. The probability that you experience it the 99% of the time you're seated is much higher than the probability of experiencing turbulence while standing, especially since pilots proactively turn on the seatbelt sign when turbulence is expected.
