I think what you're quoting is one of the clearest and most relatable statements in this whole mess of a blog post!

I think OP means user-friendly in the relationship user-company, not user-government.

No, it's much too low. OP shows Pearson's X^2 for their results, but that alone is meaningless. p-value would be the interesting metric. I haven't computed it (although we could from the results) but I expect it to be very high, i.e. it's likely to observe these results even with perfect dice.

On desktop you can look at the organs directly in the browser via neuroglancer

New comment by cl3misch in "What Python’s asyncio primitives get wrong about shared state"

cl3misch — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:16:43 +0000

Is this being downvoted because of the tone, or because state machines are unpopular/inappropriate in this case?

Genuine question, because this feels like a sensible solution to the problem as stated in the article.

New comment by cl3misch in "Use the Mikado Method to do safe changes in a complex codebase"

cl3misch — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:12:33 +0000

A difficult prerequisite for that might be untangling a very unatomic codebase into testable chunks. And to determine a feasible "level of abstraction" to write tests for. Testing a full pipeline of a numerical library might be as impractical as testing super tiny functions, because both won't allow you to really work on the codebase.

Admittedly I was being facetious: OP said mailing lists are better than a forum, but for searching the archive you need a forum-like interface anyway.

Tiny nitpick: you actually can pin messages in Signal group chats. It's a pretty recent addition though.

Apart from that, I would have been interested in more details about the author's experience with ~Revolt~ Stoat. To my naive eyes it looks pretty nice. I really like the nuanced takes about the other platforms in this article, so I'd guess the author has some good reasons to dismiss Stoat like that.

How do you search messages from before you joined the mailing list?

New comment by cl3misch in "Show HN: SymDerive – A functional, stateless symbolic math library"

cl3misch — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:46:48 +0000

FWIW the afaik most common symbolic math Python library sympy does that on the first page of their tutorial. I think in this space it's pretty common.

https://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorials/intro-tutorial/intro...

I have to admit that I still like to use the ancient

    from pylab import *

in scripts that only I will ever see. It makes it so much easier to use numpy in a "tool of thought" way. I would never do this in a library, though.
