Yes, that's essentially the only practical reason.

Self-hosted Gitea is a good time if you're comfortable taking care of backups and other self-hosting stuff.

There are two Graphite companies. The time series DB for metrics (not this) and the stacked diff code review platform (this). Looking at other comments under the post, they seem to…

For real. I consider myself to be “into Python typing,” and yet I had no knowledge of Zuban before the parent comment and a very faint memory of Jedi.

I mean, that is what the term implies.

OpenAI is BYOK-only on OpenRouter, which artificially depresses its utilization there.

It is exactly that

To be fair, you do get enums and pattern matching from base language.

4o on ChatGPT.com vs. Opus in an IDE is like cooking food without kitchen tools vs. using them. 4o is neither a coding-optimized model nor a reasoning model in general.

I did work for a Russian financial multinational just before COVID-19, as a native Russian speaker, and it was a free-for-all mess interally. The IT side had a load-bearing, old-sc…

Aider has been doing that for a long time now, it was the first project to do this afaik.

They have a healthy enterprise customer base, and an engineering team that clearly knows how to work with power users (which OpenAI is bad at).

They have an old-school enterprise sales operation that is doing superb work. Apart from that, ChatGPT's projects are useless crap (can't read other convos in a project; can't gene…

Having experience with digitizing a university textbook in physics by hand, this is a very nice LaTeX guide for everyone interested. One thing worth noting from 2025 perspective th…

No, the parent clearly indicates that they consider XeTeX a worse choice than LuaTeX.

> They weren't contributing before That is not true. Companies like AWS had paid staff working as OSS Redis core maintainers before the licencing schism. This talk of "achieving th…

Pyright has semantic improvements (and also some differences) over MyPy. As for using the type checker as a language server, it's difficult to go back to “it's compiling” after you…

Check if your configuration allows pyright to use other files in the workspace.

To round out the big 4, there's also Pyre from Meta. I haven't used it myself, as when I last checked it had a low number of PEPs covered, but I've heard some good words for it.

MyPy's rules are reference-grade, being as close to an official spec as we get until the Typing Council is done establishing their moat. To understand shortcomings of MyPy, I stron…

This depends on the model, e.g., the non-entry level Forerunner series watches have had training load-related metrics for a while now. That said, Garmin is mainly a cardio watch, a…

This was interesting, cheers!

> especially after ... the white house praise for rust What's the threat model here, that Rust is a trojan language from the feds?

Speaking about strictly PyTorch, it's actually elementary on the distribution side. I know that there are packages which do some weird setup magic at runtime, unfortunately, but py…

Unfortunately, installing pytorch via Poetry was not for the faint of heart, last I tried. [1] For example, it used to download wheels for all matching distributions (say pytorch f…
