> Sort of. Accessing private Canadian financing is a lot harder for the most part, our financial sector is notoriously risk averse for any sort of personal or business loans unless…

I didn't know that Polars was implemented in Rust. In fact, it's very neat that Rust can interop with Python so cleanly, but that shouldn't be surprising since Python is basically …

Wow, what a cool workflow. I looks like the interop promise of Apache Arrow is real. It's a great thing when your computer works as fast as you think as opposed to sitting around w…

I am impressed that Polar is close to DuckDB near the top. It's surprising that a Python library would often out perform everything but DuckDB. DuckDB is very impressive but DataFr…

The biggest lesson I took away from all of these hype cycles is how unpredictable they are in their arc. Some trends like AV seem like they were going to take over the world, but t…

This is just beating a dead horse at this point.

Your team's process should be flexible enough where you don't have a name for it.

If you can put javascript and animations in pdf, what's stopping you from making a frontend in it? I wonder what are the frontiers of things you can do in pdf. Honestly, it seems l…

Yea, I am a struggling to figure out what the secret sauce of this library and if that sauce is introducing foot guns down the line. Multiprocessing std uses fork in linux distros …

I had this misunderstanding for a long time until I saw Go explain the difference: https://go.dev/blog/waza-talk The confusion here is parallelism vs concurrency. Parallelism is ex…

A lot of problem with Python packages is the fact that a lot of Python programs is not just Python. You have a significant amount of C++, Cython, and binaries (like Intel MKL) when…

Nextdoor has a similar problem but even worse when it comes to the toxicity.

Does anyone know how are they taking wavelengths from an image or what exactly "long-wavelength features" means? I googled "wavelength of images" it doesn't seem like I am going in…

I looked up "largest available microsd" and the first item was a pop up box that said the largest available one is 1TB. I put the same query into bing and the result as the same. T…

"Russia has sufficient conventional military power to reinforce each of its current axes of advance and overpower the conventional Ukrainian forces defending them." I fear that the…

I thought the guy was talking about $15 too. I figured that they completely ran out of foreign currency.

I don't know if "correct" and "fun" are at odds with each other. There are very famous examples of games failing at the start because of bugs like Cyberpunk. There is a point where…

You could always look at specific issues with the bill's text rather than just spreading cynicism.

This is a great lecture. While he is specifically talking about database research, a lot of what he is relevant to academia.

I don't think you can say that the West ignored Crimea. There are still sanctions against Russia and they are not going to be lifted anytime soon. The thing about Crimea is that it…

So basically at some point they were funded in part by the CIAs fund as well as other tech companies. Now they aren't at all. Seems very misleading to claim they are CIA funded at …
