    I don't have any severe sleep problems, but I can relate to this issue. I find reading fiction helps. It's kind of difficult to dream about an interesting problem or a project, so …

    I think this is a larger web-standards problem. There is no standard clickable "link" for physical locations. There is no URL-equivalent you can send to someone, they click it, it …

    Where is it actually explained how it works..? Usually these kinds of systems either don't scale dynamically or have caching issues. The first example, a spreadsheet, is "easy" bec…

    are there any "open source" efforts to do distillation? Like some place one can submit one's anonymized chat logs? So they can be pooled and used as an open training set (similar t…

    Okay - actual code is good :)) But I can't replicate the behavior. Here is the code: https://github.com/kxygk/ednless/blob/master/pathom-prectest... I didn't know what jdbc was so …

    It doesn't seem petty at all. These are the fundamental primitives of how you want to decouple and organize code. You have to look at them through small examples. In the first case…

    great example. Some of this is out of my bailiwick, but on a high level I agree with you. I think your intuition is right. If you have behavior that's dependent on priority, this i…

    I'll be honest, I work in a very different area (scientific computing) so my code is a lot more exploratory and I don't ever deal with DB access for instance. If you have a very st…

    Lots of great thoughts As for function memoization, I previously tried this workflow and after scratching my head about it, I think it's just not possible to make it scale properly…

    Comment #48879458

    Oh sorry, I kind of meant it the other way around. You start with biff.graph and you'd swap in Pathom if the featureset or performance wasn't adequate. It makes sense that since yo…

    > the tweaks I made to e.g. `defresolver` were really just a side thing If it weren't for those, would Pathom be a drop-in replacement? Or is there different logic? I'm a bit of a …

    Comment #48878064

    You can use regular functions, but there are several things you lose: - intermediate keys are not recalculated if they're used across different resolvers. This means you basically …

    Comment #48877934

    It's very cool you managed to make a mini Pathom - esp in so few lines of code :)) But the end result looks almost identical? Resolver declarations are a bit reorganized and look a…

    Comment #48877703

    I've been rewriting a codebase using Pathom resolvers and it has been extremely fun and has made me really reexamine how I organize code. Without being hyperbolic, it's really a ne…

    My feel would be that 2.4 has the advantage of being much longer range and there are plenty of sources for 2.4 - if you wanted to look at back-scatter and not just sources of emiss…

    Comment #48813474

    One thing to note that's maybe less obvious is that you can destructure some keys with the check and others without. This makes the function interface a bit self-documenting. At a …

    "Correct" modern C++ eliminates whole classes of problems. You can of course still write C code, but no one would merge that in to their codebase Theyre both complicated languages …
