We used Mattermost but eventually started getting annoyed by the nags to upgrade in the free version. Zulip is has been far better.


The real pyx is an absolutely wonderful graphing package. It's like Tex in that everything looks wonderful and publication-quality.

there's something about these comments ("name-collision") that drives me up the wall. do y'all realize multiple things can have the same name? for example, did you know there are many people with exactly the same names:

https://www.buzzfeed.com/kristenharris1/famous-people-same-n...

and yet no one bemoans this (hospitals don't consult name registries before filling out birth certificates). that's because it's almost always extremely clear from context.

> The real pyx

what makes that pyx any more "real" than this pyx? it's the extension of the language py plus a single letter. there are probably a thousand projects that could rightfully use that combination of letters as a name.


Human naming has nothing to do with software naming which seems obvious but apparently not. Python package creators should check the pypi registry for names and generally avoid name collisions where reasonable. Common sense applies for reduced confusion for users globally and also for potential legal issues if any party trademarks their software name. What makes one pyx more real than the other is one was first and took the spot on pypi. Simple as that. https://pypi.org/project/PyX/

the last release is Oct 16, 2022. are we doing this like jerseys - the name is now retired because pyx won all the championships?


That's barely 3 years...? I just released an update for a project I maintain that had had a 4 year gap between releases, but is still heavily used by a lot of people. I dread to think that we live in a world where software has arbitrary expiry dates...?

Some software just needs fewer updates. The actual repo had a few commits last year and even more the year before that.


Believe or not, some software can be ”complete”.


What are you suggesting? All packages do an annual release with a new beautiful section in their README to justify their existence?


it's the pyx you get with `pip install pyx`?


Agreed. I'm the author of a fairly popular dev environment project. Every so often you get people turning up enraged because I chose a name that some other project once used. In the situation I'm talking about it makes even less sense than pip -- it's a command-line executable. There's no one repository (although doesn't seem like Debian people would agree with that!). There's a multitude of package managers on different platforms. Furthermore, in case people hadn't noticed, there are these things called languages, countries, and cultures. There is no reason in general why there might not be package managers whose use is culturally or geographically non-uniform and perhaps entirely unfamiliar to those in other countries. So, what's the plan for checking whether a name is "taken" across human culture, history, and computing platforms? Silly out-dated notion.


How does this compare with the manufacturing capabilities in ERPNext?


i don't know a ton about ERPNext's manufacturing capabilities, but i think there are really great for these reasons:

- free to try - open source - well-documented - great developer community

one big difference is in the data model. in ERPNext, everything is a doctype, and there's some standard hooks.

in carbon, there are hundreds of different tables. each ui is it's own set of react components, so it's a lot more manufacturing-specific and a little more opinionated.


The midpoint constraint you seek in the symmetry constraint that looks like this: ><


You missed overtime pay


They missed mathematics

2,000 hours / year (straight time, 10 paid days PTO), $35/hour is $70k base.


You are exactly right. This is how I have calculated it since I took MicroEconomics as a Freshman.

P.S. Union Journeyman Welder, Bay Area median salary is $26 ~ $36.82 = $52,000 to $72,400.

"The median household income in the Bay Area was $128,151 in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This represents a slight decrease from $132,586 in 2019. " So.. 56% of median household income? If him, and his gf worked, then they would collectively make 112% of median household income.

These shovels are marvels of mechanical disadvantage. When I had to manually plough a field, the Kodali-type shovel was a much better configuration than a normal shovel because your arms are around the shovel instead of at the far end of a stick.

Wow, I have never seen one of those before, and now I need one.

It would have to be a very specific environment, more specific I think than the standard shovel configuration. I think loose dirt, and shifting it or lifting into a wheel barrow. but under those conditions, it would kick ass.

On the subject of shovel mechanical disadvantage, the reason for that is to gain higher velocity so you can fling dirt(or coal or whatever you are flinging) further. And perhaps more importantly to give you mechanical advantage when prying dirt loose when digging a trench.


Ploughing a field is a very different activity than moving material from one place to another.


And even moving material from one place to another differs so much depending on what material it is. There are very good reasons for so many shovel designs existing.


I absolutely remember encountering one of these at a friend's house. I clearly remember the detail about moving the pieces out of the way as needed to make moves. I do not remember the noise of the xy mechanism.


The noise is likely the result of the recording method. I don't remember it being that loud at all.
