I believe pip-chill still operates on packaged installed into the environment. This project seems to derive from the code itself, even if no packages are installed in the current environment.
You took the words from my mouth :) Selling tents to clueless SV customers with disposable cash, with a not-so-veiled promise they can rent them out on Airbnb.
It's the lime scooters of "housing": no permits, no safety, lawless, convenient, short-sighted.
The guru guy, and his tasteless leveraging of someone's personal tragedy to his own grift is incredibly out of touch – provided even that is not made up.
It helps with two things:
- 1. A little easier to be consistent across projects so not to reinvent the wheel every time
- 2. The prefix increments as new folders are added during a project, painting a convenient picture of “progress” as things move along.
We tend to have:
10 to 19 reserved for admin stuff, like Admin, Incoming, Outgoing, Documentation, Meeting notes, etc.
Then anything from 20 onwards is ad-hoc per project
We also timestamp children of Incoming and Outgoing, with an ISO prefix. This is very useful to keep track of what was received and shared and when.
Overall the goal is to have as little protocol as possible to prevent total chaos. Anything more than that is usually too much to ask or doesn’t stick longer than a single project.
I was looking for discussions mentioning this app on HN, but didn’t find any. I am not affiliated with it, just thought I’d bring it to the community’s attention as I have been using for more than a year with my NAS, remotely over SFTP. It is a rare example of a very well thought through application, thoroughly executed: all it does is transfer photos to or from my devices and any thinkable destination. Highly configurable.
Like I suppose many of us, I had a conversation with an artist friend about this very topic. They are concerned about it. Some of the generated results are impressive and surely can sufficiently replace some subset of the current human output.
But! Seeing DALL-E artwork from a bird’s eye view, I am more and more convinced that it’s just another tool, not a replacement: It is amazing good at producing unexpected results, and just like GPT3, it does so by regurgitating what is already out there, remixing it in somewhat interesting ways. This is an especially useful tool to quickly produce mood boards, or communicate an artistic intent. However it is not a replacement for the kind of thinking required to produce good artwork.
I was moved by the message on the last GH release for Meld macOS. So tragic and sad, and I will pray for your brother Youssef.
Dedicated to Osama
If you use this software, please pray for my brother.

And lastly, Meiwa Denki, a Japanese artist and performer who made some beautiful head+eye gear experiments on a similar vein, which I had the fortune to try in his Tokyo studio back in 2008… but can't find any online reference for :/
Wait who did you go to his studio with in 2008? My friend Cesar Harada invited me along when he went with the kids from his class in i think late winter 2008, I believe they were a Parisian design school but the memory is vague
Aha yes RCA it was I remember now! If your memory is better than mine you might remember a very lost and confused Spanish boy with messy hair who was barely surviving in Tokyo, that would have been me. I remember a get together with your crew in a house way in the outskirts of Tokyo. Also remember trying to get an internship with Maywa Denki and failing, but someone in your class did get it.
