I studied in the same school :) I can't confirm geometric tattoos, but the school definitely taught me to enjoy the art of science!

Indeed, very interesting! I suspect readers who enjoyed this may also enjoy this recent dive into the prostate which was shared here ~7 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43801906 . It has a somewhat more hopeful and dare I say, happier ending
Interestingly, the mechanism in the "prostate" article also refers to the reversed blood flow. It is not the same as retrograde menstruation, but it kind of rings a bell to me as non-biologist.
Why not just call it swamp? It would better describe the python ecosystem mess ;)
Jokes aside, this feels very meta: package manager for a package manager for a package manager. Reminds me of the old RFC1925: "you can always add another layer of abstraction". That RFC also says "perfection has been reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away".
And as a hpc admin, I'm not offering my users any help with conda and let them suffer on their own. Instead I'm showing them the greener pastures with spack, easybuild and eessi whenever I can. And they're slowly migrating over.
it was also my first thought on abstractions of abstractions, thanks for sharing :)
could you elaborate a bit more on why HPC world is special when it comes to configuring the environment?
I always feel it is a typical problem in software development, to separate operating system env from the application env.
do you use spack / easybuild on your personal computer, for example if you need to install a package that is not part of the distribution?

Free, excellent
came here to mention Feeder :) it's very good.
it was a bit painful without search, but they finally merged the long-hanging merge request, and now the search across posts is available in the stable version!
totally recommend!
also, a bit aside, but for podcasts: antennapod seems to be doing a good job too!

I have a thought on "sharing" the snapshots. Many pages nowadays are behind a paywall.
Typically you are required to log in (pay or not) to remove them. I'm aware of archive.org and others, but it is not the main point :)
The point is, that if you are logged in, some private information about yourself may be stored in the snapshot. It is less dangerous when it is something on the screen -> you can make a decision. But if is is some hidden field with your ip address for example.
The small taxes any Russian would pay for this pales in comparison to the income Russia is generating from selling oil to Europe. Should we also boycott all of Europe too?
Thanks for raising this question, and I agree it is important. Maybe encouraging independence from the russian oil would be a more efficient way to go. Of course, it can't happen immediately, but if some countries consciously don't want to work in this direction - such situation may constitute a safety threat to Europe - and this shouldn't be left without attention.
you let your mind be corrupted by media and government. dont hate hundred millions of people because of the actions of a handful. dont be silly.
I mentioned some points above, that aren't encouraging hatred. They mention what makes me personally feel uncomfortable reading the journal.
As I said, I don't make any claims about the artists in the topic. They may be good and intelligent people. I'm sorry if I expressed this point not clear enough.
Can we please not discriminate against people because of what their governments are doing?
Thoughtful intelligent people deserve to be included regardless of what regime they live under.
in my opinion there is a pragmatic aspect to it,
to put it simply, the taxes paid go to finance "whatever their government are doing".
also, do you think, like - all russians are against the war and don't have imperialistic mindset. it's just their government to blame? I'd say there is a decent part that got affected by propaganda both imprinted into education and news.
I don't know about the artists contributed to the journal (do you?), but in my opinion it is just a safer bet to find an artist unrelated to Russia.
apart from that, promoting russian culture (i.e works by russian artists) while it is actively destroying culture of other countries - means contributing to the process.
