Tom Rocheanother VERY EXCELLENT (though Hudson-less) Geopolitical Economy Hour
Tom RocheJustin and Dave (back to collab) EXCELLENT as usual
Tom RocheVERY EXCELLENT dissection of the Bari Weiss fraud (and the US rightwing pseudovictimization narrative)
The PC Police Outlaw Make-Believe." "Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web." "The Roots of Campus Hatred." "End DEI."
These articles all have something in common: they were written by Bari Weiss. Weiss, the New York Times opinion editor and columnist turned horseshoe theorist media proprietor, has made a name for herself as a victim, and enemy, of that perennial right-wing bogeyman: so-called wokeness. For over a decade now, Weiss has taken to the pages of major news media to complain, vilified — and sometimes target — college kids and protesters who won't let her and the fascistic company she keeps, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and the like, speak their minds as loudly and publicly as possible.
There is, of course, a comical level of irony here. Amid her claims of being silenced and repressed by a hostile left, Weiss has been paid to voice her opinions in legacy paper after legacy paper and been given millions by venture capital firms to start her own media company, The Free Press, and her so-called "university," the University of Austin. And despite her insistence that mainstream institutions are too intolerant of heterodox views like hers, she's warmly embraced on CNN broadcasts, in the pages of her former employer, The New York Times, and has been given glowing profiles in Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Magazine, Ha'aretz, The Information, and the Financial Times.
On this episode, we discuss the rise of Bari Weiss Silicon Valley-funded media empire, the trope of the Iconoclast rebel, truth-telling media lightening rod with banal conservative political positions, and the broader, seemingly uniquely American psychological need, and branding convention, for people with 95% boilerplate rightwing positions to see themselves as persecuted outsiders who don't fit into any labels.

Tom Rochejust bant but funny: Felix, Kath, and Will break the already-broken NBC series 'Brilliant Minds' into its many defective parts. Along the way, comparisons are made to better and worse TV shows (esp Fox's 'House'), the genre of NBCcore, and the general decline of US TV.
It’s 5 days until the election and we’ve had enough talking this political bullshit so guess what? It’s Time For My Stories. We’re looking at NBC’s new medical drama “Brilliant Minds,” which dares to ask the question “what if a doctor cared about his patients?” We’ve got Memento’d bikers, Three Stooges-induced heart attacks, TikTok witch psychosis and more, all solved with the miraculous application of empathy (and taking your patient’s party drugs).

Marcin Borkowski (mbork) has an excellent post concerning a function I didn’t know about. It helps with the following problem: suppose you have a function with several implementations, want to access them with a single function name, and need to choose the implementation to use when you invoke the common function name.
That probably seems a little obscure but the example that mbork gives makes it clear. His use case is wanting to play some music using one of mplayer, vlc, or mpv using a single invocation name.
There are plenty of straightforward ways of doing this, of course, but mbork shows a very nice builtin method: define-alternatives. It’s easy to use and set up. You simply provide an alist of method/function pairs and use define-alternatives to specify a function name that will invoke the method of the user’s choice. See mborks post or the documentation for the details.
Define-alternatives is a great way of handling this situation. It’s hard to imagine a method that requires less code or effort on the developer’s part. As mbork says, the method doesn’t seem to be well known so it’s worthwhile pointing to mbork’s post as a way of getting the word out.
Tom RocheIOT doing science well
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the tantalising idea that there are shortcuts between distant galaxies, somewhere out there in the universe. The idea emerged in the context of Einstein's theories and the challenge has been not so much to prove their unlikely existence as to show why they ought to be impossible. The universe would have to folded back on itself in places, and there would have to be something to make the wormholes and then to keep them open. But is there anywhere in the vast universe like that? Could there be holes that we or more advanced civilisations might travel through, from one galaxy to another and, if not, why not?

Tom RocheI'm not always a fan of Tom Walker's comedy, but this CJP episode is an EXCELLENT, very funny BBC Radio 4 lib self-satire with some political insight: 28 min well-spent. Note also that this is part 1 of a pair: part 2 available (even in the US) [here](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024ljm)
In the first of two US election specials Pie (Tom Walker) is tackling the thorny issue of democracy and is quickly derailed. As he takes his usual balanced (not) approach to the US presidential candidates Jules (Lucy Pearman) dangles a juicy carrot. There’s a big gig in the offing; if only he can stop ranting about one of the candidates. Can you guess which one?

Tom RocheVERY EXCELLENT analysis /and/ humor on US politics esp previewing the 5 Nov 2024 US presidential and (federal) Senate elections. Seriously, and as much as I generally enjoy Breaking Points: I got more from this 83 min with Felix, Will, Josh Ettinger, and Dave Weigel than I have learned from the past week (or maybe 2) of BP.
Chapo elections unit Dave Weigel and Josh “Ettingermentum” return for one last check-in on the state of the 2024 US Elections. We review Trump’s fascist clown show rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, and discuss its potential impacts on the final week of the race. We look at the closing arguments & strategies of both campaigns, the increasingly strained relationship between the electorate and the media, key senate races to watch, and give final chances for Trump & Harris.

Over at the Emacs subreddit, FirmSupermarket6933 asks who really created Emacs. He cites various sources claiming that RMS did or did not create it. Is he responsible only for GNU Emacs or was he there from the beginning? Sadly the commenters purporting to answer his question have no more idea than FirmSupermarket6933 about the editor’s origin.
All of this was long ago and far away but almost everyone who has a reasonable grasp of Emacs’ history agree on some basic facts:
Even the original effort was more curation than invention. The original TECO macros were collected from the macros that people in the AI Lab were using. The idea was to have a standard set of macros that everyone could use. Even so, there was a surprising amount of work to get everything working. See Steele’s email threads for the details.
All of this began almost 50 years ago so memories are dim and, sadly, many of the principals are nearing the end of their lives so it’s important to get these facts right while we can.

Beautiful Soup is a Python library designed for parsing HTML and XML documents. It creates parse trees that make it straightforward to extract data from HTML documents you’ve scraped from the internet. Beautiful Soup is a useful tool in your web scraping toolkit, allowing you to conveniently extract specific information from HTML, even from complex static websites.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a web scraper using Beautiful Soup along with the Requests library to scrape and parse job listings from a static website. Static websites provide consistent HTML content, while dynamic sites may require handling JavaScript. For dynamic websites, you’ll need to incorporate additional tools that can execute JavaScript, such as Scrapy or Selenium.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand that:
Working through this project will give you the knowledge and tools that you need to scrape any static website out there on the World Wide Web. If you like learning with hands-on examples and have a basic understanding of Python and HTML, then this tutorial is for you! You can download the project source code by clicking on the link below:

Interactive Quiz
Beautiful Soup: Build a Web Scraper With PythonIn this quiz, you'll test your understanding of web scraping using Python. By working through this quiz, you'll revisit how to inspect the HTML structure of a target site, decipher data encoded in URLs, and use Requests and Beautiful Soup for scraping and parsing data.
Web scraping is the process of gathering information from the internet. Even copying and pasting the lyrics of your favorite song can be considered a form of web scraping! However, the term “web scraping” usually refers to a process that involves automation. While some websites don’t like it when automatic scrapers gather their data, which can lead to legal issues, others don’t mind it.
If you’re scraping a page respectfully for educational purposes, then you’re unlikely to have any problems. Still, it’s a good idea to do some research on your own to make sure you’re not violating any Terms of Service before you start a large-scale web scraping project.
Say that you like to surf—both in the ocean and online—and you’re looking for employment. It’s clear that you’re not interested in just any job. With a surfer’s mindset, you’re waiting for the perfect opportunity to roll your way!
You know about a job site that offers precisely the kinds of jobs you want. Unfortunately, a new position only pops up once in a blue moon, and the site doesn’t provide an email notification service. You consider checking up on it every day, but that doesn’t sound like the most fun and productive way to spend your time. You’d rather be outside surfing real-life waves!
Thankfully, Python offers a way to apply your surfer’s mindset. Instead of having to check the job site every day, you can use Python to help automate the repetitive parts of your job search. With automated web scraping, you can write the code once, and it’ll get the information that you need many times and from many pages.
Note: In contrast, when you try to get information manually, you might spend a lot of time clicking, scrolling, and searching, especially if you need large amounts of data from websites that are regularly updated with new content. Manual web scraping can take a lot of time and be highly repetitive and error-prone.
There’s so much information on the internet, with new information constantly being added. You’ll probably be interested in some of that data, and much of it is out there for the taking. Whether you’re actually on the job hunt or just want to automatically download all the lyrics of your favorite artist, automated web scraping can help you accomplish your goals.
The internet has grown organically out of many sources. It combines many different technologies, styles, and personalities, and it continues to grow every day. In other words, the internet is a hot mess! Because of this, you’ll run into some challenges when scraping the web:
Variety: Every website is different. While you’ll encounter general structures that repeat themselves, each website is unique and will need personal treatment if you want to extract the relevant information.
Durability: Websites constantly change. Say you’ve built a shiny new web scraper that automatically cherry-picks what you want from your resource of interest. The first time you run your script, it works flawlessly. But when you run the same script a while later, you run into a discouraging and lengthy stack of tracebacks!
Unstable scripts are a realistic scenario because many websites are in active development. If a site’s structure changes, then your scraper might not be able to navigate the sitemap correctly or find the relevant information. The good news is that changes to websites are often small and incremental, so you’ll likely be able to update your scraper with minimal adjustments.
Still, keep in mind that the internet is dynamic and keeps on changing. Therefore, the scrapers you build will probably require maintenance. You can set up continuous integration to run scraping tests periodically to ensure that your main script doesn’t break without your knowledge.
Some website providers offer application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow you to access their data in a predefined manner. With APIs, you can avoid parsing HTML. Instead, you can access the data directly using formats like JSON and XML. HTML is primarily a way to visually present content to users.
When you use an API, the data collection process is generally more stable than it is through web scraping. That’s because developers create APIs to be consumed by programs rather than by human eyes.
The front-end presentation of a site might change often, but a change in the website’s design doesn’t affect its API structure. The structure of an API is usually more permanent, which means it’s a more reliable source of the site’s data.

Tom RocheBen Norton delivers another VERY EXCELLENT explainer on how, aside from the US' most craven vassals, the world is not only dedollarizing trade (which GER has discussed much recently) but is also (as Mohamed El-Erian explains in recent FT article) dedollarizing reserves--not to one or more rival currencies but to gold. BN also explains how the share of US Treasury securities (bonds, bills, etc) held domestically is rising (despite efforts of poodles like the UK and esp Canada), and the likely effects of this trend on US fiscal and monetary policy.

* anti-Zionism vs non-Zionism
* why South African Israelis are so uniquely evil /and/ ridiculous
* Jewish physiognomy and how so many Zionazis have surgery to remove their "Jewish features"
* freelance hasbara (most of the episode is drill'n'kill-ing these scumbags)
* how the USCFM (corporate-funded media) celebrated the Zionists' pager bombing, and how that was actually terrorism
* Israel's policy of prisoner rape, vs USCFM's pushing of the Hamas-mass-rape fraud
* how the panelists gets triggered, and how to avoid it
* Ashkenazi vs Mizrahi vs Palestine
* Jew-Muslim coexistence history (esp al-Andalus) and its erasure

Tom Roche[Jujutsu VCS](https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/) as [compared to Git](https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/git-comparison/) (article archived [here](https://archive.today/8t6aV))
This post is not about the Japanese martial arts Jiu-jitsu, it’s about a new
VCS, or version control system.
There are some great tutorials and introductions for
Jujutsu, short jj, so I want to give some
insight in how I use it day to day for this website.
You can initialize jj in an existing git repository like this:
$ jj git init --git-repo .
This will create a .jj directory next to .git.
You can now use both git and jj, although I wouldn’t recommend it.
There’s a work-in-progress native storage backend, but since all my projects
are git repositories anyway, this works great for me.
Note that this is non-destructive; if you want to go back to git, all it takes
is a rm -r .jj.
Running jj log in the repository for this very website gives this output:
$ jj log @ qzsvtxpv hey@arne.me 2024-10-21 09:58:06 e18f7532 │ Add blog/jj-in-practice │ ○ yoxxsupn hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 22:55:03 ae5d9109 ├─╯ Add library/calibans-war │ ○ tvkvwslw hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 22:49:54 5e4dee1f ├─╯ Add library/the-posthumous-memoirs-of-bras-cubas │ ○ pywmtrys hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 21:20:11 7bda14b7 │ │ Add atoms/1 │ ○ xnlzypwn hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 21:20:10 8a004404 ├─╯ Add atoms functionality ◆ wxxtrmqk hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 16:18:15 main HEAD@git 1eb46c81 │ Add weekly/166 ~
This already shows one of the biggest differences, compared to git:
There’s no branches, other than main.
You can create branches, which are called bookmarks in jj, but you don’t
need to.
Instead, you work mostly with changes1.
The terminal above shows the change w (you can use the first letter to
reference changes; on your terminal it’ll be highlighted as well) as a parent
to x, t, y and q.
All these child-revisions don’t have a branch/bookmark, but they don’t need one.
You can see what’s in-flight at this repository better than with any git repo,
especially if branches haven’t been cleaned up in a while.
My usual flow with git is to leave changes in the staging area until I’m
ready to commit.
Sometimes, if I have to switch branches or want to save my work, I’ll stash
or create a WIP commit.
In jj, there is no staging area—everything is a revision.
Let’s create a new revision on top of my revisions where I add atoms
functionality:
$ jj new -r p
Running git log again:
$ jj log @ kxqvnxnw hey@arne.me 2024-10-21 10:03:20 22c020cf │ (empty) (no description set) ○ pywmtrys hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 21:20:11 HEAD@git 7bda14b7 │ Add atoms/1 ○ xnlzypwn hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 21:20:10 8a004404 │ Add atoms functionality │ ○ qzsvtxpv hey@arne.me 2024-10-21 10:03:18 27229dca ├─╯ Add blog/jj-in-practice │ ○ yoxxsupn hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 22:55:03 ae5d9109 ├─╯ Add library/calibans-war │ ○ tvkvwslw hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 22:49:54 5e4dee1f ├─╯ Add library/the-posthumous-memoirs-of-bras-cubas ◆ wxxtrmqk hey@arne.me 2024-10-20 16:18:15 main 1eb46c81 │ Add weekly/166 ~
You’ll notice that our active revisions are now left-aligned, and the one to
add this very blog post has moved to the right.
There’s no hierarchy, they’re all descendants of Add weekly/166.
After doing some work, e.g. adding a new atom, I can describe that revision
with jj describe.
This is comparable to git commit, but it doesn’t actually create a commit or
a revision, it only describes the current one.
Sometimes I want to update a previous revision, in this case Add atoms/1.
I can run jj squash to merge the current one with its parent.
To fetch new revisions, I run jj git fetch; to push branches/bookmarks, I run
jj git push.
This uses the same git server it was using before.
Before pushing, I need to move my bookmark to the revision I want to push.
I push the main branch to deploy my website, so if I wanted to publish my
atoms functionality (should I?), I would run jj bookmark set main -r p before
pushing.
Sometimes I need to rebase. Fortunately that’s a lot simpler than it is in
git:
I can run jj rebase -s <source> -d <destination> to move revisions around.
If I wanted support for atoms for this blog post, I would run
jj rebase -s q -d p and it would move the revision for this blog post on top
of “Add atoms/1”.
jj also does automatic rebasing, e.g. if you squash changes into a revision
that has descendants.
And if I have a revision that I’d like to be two, I run jj split and
interactively select what belongs to which revision.
Undoing an (interactive) rebase in git is not fun.
jj undo undoes the last jj operation, doesn’t matter if it’s abandoning
(deleting) a revision or doing a rebase.
This is a life saver!
You can also run jj op log to display your last jj operations.
I’ve been using
git for a long, long time.
My brain assumes that after a commit, I’m working on the next one.
It also assumes that jj describe does the same as git commit (it does not).
I often describe a revision and continue editing files, which then erroneously
get added to the current revision.
I’m not saying this is wrong, it makes sense in the jj world, but I keep
tripping over that and have to run jj split to pull changes out again.
alterae on Lobste.rs pointed out
that you can describe and immediately create a new revision on top of it with
jj commit. Thanks!
One other thing is that you cannot check out a revision directly (or maybe I
just don’t know how to), so when I’ve moved to a different revision and want
to move back, I run
jj new <revision>, which creates an empty revision on top
of it.
This means that if I’m not done with the revision, I have to keep running
jj squash to move changes into it.
gecko on Lobste.rs pointed out
that you can check out a revision directly with jj edit <revision>. Thanks!
A week ago, I removed jj from my website’s repository, to see if I’d miss it.
I added it back the same day.
Jujutsu feels lighter than git, while at the same time giving you a full
overview of what’s in-flight right now2.
Having no staging area means I only need to worry about revisions (see caveat
above).
If trying new things sounds fun to you, give Jujutsu a spin!
What’s cool about a jj change, is that updating it doesn’t change its ID. ↩
If you work in large projects with many contributors, you can
tune your jj log to only your revisions. ↩
