Yes. Jupyter kernels all talk over zeromq channels, irrespective of the front-end user interface.

There is a little bug icon in the toolbar of your open notebook in both user interfaces. The bug only appears if you have a kernel that supports debugging (e.g., ipykernel). So if you see the little bug on the right-hand side of the toolbar for your notebook, when you enable it, you should start seeing the variables in your memory state and you should have the ability to click in the gutter to add breakpoints.

A self-contained solar powered cargo-container-sized box that can create calories with minimal top-ups of material might make some marginal areas habitable.

The answer to this is related to the answer of: "would you prefer to be in the lower class of Norwegian society or the lower class of nearby Belarussian society?"

This idea has been formalized: https://www.simulation-argument.com/

You take two leaps here that don't follow:

OP proposed that advertising is psychologically manipulating people into believing their lives are incomplete and asked whether that is a harm. You conflated this manipulation with built-in desires; it is not that.

By analogy, it is as though OP argued that deliberately withholding food from prisoners to cause them distress from hunger is a harm and you are countering that OP may as well describe hunger itself as harmful.

Most people don’t subscribe to the Buddhist point of view, though.

Buddhism does not consider desires an inherently harmful. Being captured by desires and constantly craving can be, but that's not the same as the mere existence of desires that can arise.

The main defense against this situation is that it does not work to improve citizens lives. It only benefits a small part of society and it will make the rest suffer.

This pattern is attenuated when there's a reliable external source of energy. Hungary is not a closed system that will decay into entropy. It has regular funding from the EU which allows the disequilibrium to continue.

mamba feels so much faster than conda, it is awesome.

Would publicizing such a donation help him or would you then want to know why he published the details of his donation?

Your question is one where both possible outcomes result in attacking the messenger instead of considering his message.

A basic income that truly covers the basic needs of modern life (food, shelter, electricity, running water, heat, healthcare, broadband, education, etc.) would give the lowest paid workers bargaining power.

A basic income that doesn't cover those things might instead just make it easier to pay workers even less.

Think of what some restaurants do when their employees get tips: they pay less than the legal minimum wage because they expect tips to "top off" worker earnings until they meet minimum wage requirements, so they explicitly pass that tip from customers into the business's revenue stream, skipping the intended tip recipient altogether. If we don't protect recipients of UBI, their employers can do the same thing.

Theia runs inside a web browser. VS Code doesn't.

There are a few efforts on this front. Here are two that I know of for JupyterLab:

https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-git

https://github.com/elyra-ai/elyra#notebook-versioning-based-...

Part of the calculus for the cost is losing the immediate utility of git blame once every file has been reformatted.

HN has not entered its Eternal September quite yet.

Perhaps you'll be better received in another forum, but this is unwelcome here.

It isn't the same challenge because Apple doesn't sell Macs at a loss.

Encryption does not fix this completely even if you assume all texts and voice calls are encrypted. The metadata is equally important:

- your location in time and space

- the numbers you contacted

- the duration of contact

I agree with you. The only universal thing that could be said of any conscious entity is that it is capable of experience. No other aspect of consciousness (e.g. fear of ceasing to exist) could be claimed to be a universal.

The first ten inventors I see when I search for "US inventors" are:

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Samuel Morse, Eli Whitney, Nikola Tesla, George Washington Carver, Charles Goodyear, Lewis Howard Latimer, Henry Ford, George Eastman

... which does corroborate OP's "American inventors" hypothesis.

If you have a notebook open in JupyterLab with a running kernel, you can go to the menu and open File > New > Console.

It will prompt you for what sort of kernel to use, including the ability to use any currently running session.

The closest thing to what you're asking for is the first image in the post, which is a screenshot that has this caption:

JupyterLab is an interactive development environment for working with notebooks, code, and data.

In JupyterLab, under the `Settings` menu, there is a setting you can toggle (Autosave Documents) if you prefer to turn off this behavior.

Gotcha. I think that the manual effort of that was what put me off managing passwords myself.

One problem I had when using a similar technique is how to change passwords. Some services require regular password changes, security breaches require it, etc.

So I needed some additional piece of information, namely how many times I've had to change passwords, so a new function argument.

Eventually I gave up and started using a password manager.

I wrote an introduction and tutorial post, but linking the actual repo is more appropriate for this audience. Here's the post about it as well: http://darian.af/post/master-less-peer-to-peer-micro-service...

When social and political phenomena are examined more closely, they need classification and designation. Disliking a new term for an old or previously unexamined phenomenon seems curmudgeonly.

I quit using AngelList when a recruiter confirmed that he'd seen that my profile was actively browsing the site. The old adage about who is the customer and who is the product rang so true with AngelList. I hadn't realized that it was even possible to build a scammier version of LinkedIn until that point.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys also don't "do anything" except just "make comments". For that matter, neither do presidents or professors.

Star Trek, on the other hand, consistently presents an optimistic view of our capacity for civilization. I love science-fiction, even when it's dystopian. But why does so much of it have to be dystopian?

The ethics of data retention haven't been fully fleshed out, but it seems pretty obvious that the industry has to start deleting data at some point because user that lives forever is guaranteed to one day be compromised or exploited.

It also seems obvious that voluntarily deleting data is unlikely because data is an asset. Regulation seems unlikely to be forthcoming because governments want their own access to corporate data to persist.

What's not obvious is how to approach the issue.
