Hopefully this isn't off-topic, but your setup sounds just like mine, Strix Halo and (I'm assuming) llama.cpp on ROCm, and I'm finding that the Qwen hybrid models don't handle prom…

I'm a software developer, so I type a lot. Typing is very practical for throughput and speed. But I still make time for writing by hand. I find it to be very valuable, because it f…

This name is perfect. I hope this gets traction.

Trump got a plurality of the popular vote, not a majority. There are lots of people who didn't vote for this. Many people are now doing whatever they can to limit the damage, but i…

BSL is not an Open Source license, as it does not meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition. https://opensource.org/osd

Sphinx is powerful and hard to beat if you're looking to generate documentation from code in multiple languages or export to multiple document formats, but it's slow and creaky and…

Holy wow, it never occurred to me that there were enough organizations launching satellites to warrant creating a managed service to support it.

PDF rendering is the bane of my existence. I've found it stunningly difficult to generate an acceptable output from a source format like Markdown, and the process usually requires …

> disclaimer: I have very little skin in this game. We use S3 for some static assets, and with layers of caching on top, I think we are rarely affected by outages. I'm still curiou…

Don't disagree. It's a problem. As the parent poster and others have mentioned, you can use something like pipx, or bare virtualenv. At least once I've deployed via dh-virtualenv a…

One thing that I wish was mentioned in this article is that Kubernetes already provides a pretty good compatibility layer between cloud providers. If you don't completely bake your…

I second having an internal PyPI. Not requiring your customers to build your platform wheels for you simplifies Python distribution quite a bit. It'll never be as clean as a static…

I think that's already started to happen. I had to buy the Essentials kit this week because a standalone Pi was not available from any distributor, with lead times of up to a year.…

This. I have a friend with 1Gbps up/down at his house. I've been waiting for fiber for like 10 years but it's never been available at any place I've lived. This is despite the fact…

I was thinking the same. I hear this company name all the time at my work, so when I saw the title, I did a double-take and thought there was a typo. They even have AI voice comman…

I had to stop driving for four months after I had a sudden major seizure episode. Changes to medication also meant not driving for a similar amount of time. I have not had an event…

This article didn't add anything to the conversation. "Secret management" (i.e. having a non-ClickOps way to deploy secrets and a layer of security so that they're more than just n…

You can also quit the CLI editor, e.g. vim.

I thought that was a peculiar choice of words as well. I would understand these things under the banner of "Build Engineering", or even just "Tooling". I couldn't figure out the di…

Wow, all day? That's a lot! My team and others have been having "office hours" meetings where everyone is just working, but often the cameras are off, mics are muted most of the ti…

This tutorial looks amazing. I know what I'm going to be doing the next few weekends.

There is a real use case for a tool like this. I once had to manage a large, locked-down installation of extremely custom Linux distros running on extremely custom legacy hardware.…
