I dunno, why own a car when you could ride your bike instead? They’re just different things and people may choose to use one over the other for a variety of reasons.
There are dozens and dozens of cheap-looking restaurants in San Antonio with absolutely no online presence that will serve you the most delicious tex mex you’ve had in your whole life
Thanks very much for sharing these notes. I studied algebraic topology in grad school but somehow avoided knot theory entirely. Reading these has sparked that feeling I had when I first got into topology.
This is a naive take. Are there specific instances involving individuals of many nationalities/ethnicities? Yes. Is ICE then ignoring race during its operations? Absolutely not. ICE agents are arresting people based solely on their physical appearance and accents. It is band faced racism.
Agreed. But generally it very much depends on the school and the effort of those in and around it. Terrence was very fortunate to have parents who supported him and likely lobbied for his unconventional high school/primary school split education, and equally fortunate that his schools were able and willing to accommodate him.
I use a subset of omz by cloning it and manually sourcing the plugins I want myself rather than initializing the entire omz system. No themes, no checking for updates, etc. For me, it’s the best of both worlds.
Superficially, these look the same, but at least to me they feel fundamental different. Maybe it’s because if I have the ability to read the script and take the time to do so, I can be sure that it won’t cause a catastrophic outcome before running it. If I choose to run an agent in YOLO mode, this can just happen if I’m very unlucky. No way to proactively protect against it other than not use AI in this way.

Well I do need some way to install multiple python versions in parallel, and ideally the correct python version would be used in each project automatically. I used to use pyenv for this, which puts shims in your path so that it can determine which python executable to run on the fly, but I found that it was sometimes very slow, and it didn’t work seamlessly with other tools. Specifically pipenv seemed to ignore it, so I’d have to use a workaround to point pipenv to the path to the pyenv-installed python executable.
When one tool does both python installs and dependency/venv management, then it can make these work seamlessly together, and I don’t need to screw up my path to make the version selection work either.
> What I was not aware of: `venv`s need to be created with the version of python they are supposed to be run. So you need to have a downgraded Python executable first.
This is one of uv’s selling points. It will download the correct python version automatically, and create the venv using it, and ensure that venv has your dependencies installed, and ensure that venv is active whenever you run your code. I’ve also been bit by the issue you’re describing many times before, and previously had to use a mix of tools (eg pyenv + pipenv). Now uv does it all, and much better than any previous solution.
