what industry employs your engineer friends?

It's kind of strange how the state ("of, by, and for the people") and corporations (comprised of people) are such distinct entities with their own interests. The fact that the stat…

This matters. Beyond performance (a universal good), the definition of "good" UX is strictly dependent on the user. Fintech platforms for traders who open a multi-window thick clie…

Yes. This was the case long before LLMs sprayed the tire fire with gasoline. See e.g. this 2021 gem from Dan Abramov (React's creator) https://overreacted.io/npm-audit-broken-by-de…

Agreed. Also, pretty confident this is one of the reasons Obsidian is able to compete (and win) against Notion despite the huge difference in capitalization.

k3-256 consumes half the quota, so... yes? (assuming the user isn't making use of the larger context window)

Pretty sure a similar approach should work using smolvms from smolmachines.com

(sigh) I was replying to: >"If you’re a small shop and have a need for a little database, what do you use?" not the rest of the comment. mea culpa for not quoting that specific Q. …
