> fail-fast approach, immediately throwing when validation fails would this mask any errors that would occur later in the validation?

> The only real justification here is that it probably makes lives easier for Apple developers since they can now manage a single codebase for settings vs. separate ones. While thi…

It sounds like you were a fantastic manager who cared about their team, I'm very sorry to hear that. Seems like it can be a very thankless job a lot of the time. Hopefully we can n…

Sounds like you had a great director who was willing to shield their org from bs top-down demands. I didn't appreciate this skill until I had a manager who did the same for me. Hav…

Not to mention a nicer peripherals like the screen and keyboard. Majority of people are not purchasing a MBA for pro-grade workloads. I think the MBA meets the requirements for its…

Your comment reminded me of this article[1] that has probably been posted plenty of times on HN. You've described both the "hacker" and the "mathematician" tribes. [1] https://jose…

I think the person you responded to was referring to Discourse[1] forums, not Discord[2]. Although I agree with you and the gp, both Discourse and Discord have very different incen…

"If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem." Technically you're correct. If only a handful of employees migrated, t…

My experience is pretty similar to yours but I think what you need to try to understand is that everyone has a different level of what is an acceptable "minimal" lifestyle. For a l…

Oh, you may be right. I interpreted it as having a separate build step to generate the *.out files.

Huh, TIL. Although the data it collects is seemingly benign [0]. [0] https://nextjs.org/telemetry

I like this idea, but seems a little backwards. Normally you commit the _source_ and omit the _artifacts_ haha.

Could you share some of your experience with nbdev? I'm a huge fan of what the fastai team has been doing and I've tried nbdev, but I haven't been convinced yet. Particularly with …

I would love to see that as well, I'm wondering what has stopped them from integrating it already... Maybe there's room for some contributions from the community here :)

I've been using the VSCode Insider's release as well and have been loving it and the new native notebook features for all the reasons you've listed already. That's an interesting s…

Slightly tangent, but has anyone figured out a good solution for version controlling jupyter notebooks? The closest thing that we've found has been to use the notebook percent form…

Has anyone used this service? Could you tell me how it differs from Confluence (or similar)?

This is similar to a resource that atlassian has put out on storing dotfiles [1]. It is also similar to what I use and I can vouch for this method as well. [1] https://www.atlassia…

For many people integrating batteries into their projects, this is true and you can simply take most off-the-shelf cells with the right voltage profile and put them into some serie…

That's a great accomplishment. However, I think the point is that we (as a society) should recognize and stand up for our oppressed people. Otherwise, we're placing the burden on t…

I agree it's pretty frustrating from a developer standpoint. However, the majority of people aren't developers and just want a computer that works. I could see this as a way to _in…

For pdf exports, is there any benefit to rolling your own implementation vs using the browser's print and "Save to PDF" feature?

My guess is he hasn't gotten to scaling the text sizes yet. It looks like all the text is the same font-size. I think in the Reddit thread, he mentioned having to draw each charact…
