I have just downloaded and set it up to talk to Anthropic. I have some unused API credits that I've been trying to find a use for. Haha. To be honest, I was very confused by the th…

From latency perspective, not really. As someone who used redislabs at a previous company, the requests got routed through the Private Network proxy (whatever AWS calls it) which m…

You may feel less enthusiastic about it once you watch the linked video. I wouldn’t exactly call it a roundabout. That’s only what’s at the center of it.

100% agree. I don’t care about OpenAI or the members of its board at all, one bit. What I did see was so much incompetence at the one thing I expect a board to be at least okay at.…

Assuming you’re asking in earnest I would begin with S&P 600 Small Cap companies, and see how they got their starts. These are all profitable companies with various levels of earni…

Yup, agree. I know HN is not a complaint forum, but I’m starting to wonder why I still pay prime for 7 day delivery. I have switched my pets’ orders to Chewy completely. Their deli…

For such applications, isn’t the parallelism count usually static and limited? I think there will be good benefits for distributed system frameworks for python. Id agree. A couple …

I agree. UIs written in python could benefit massively from noGIL - complex / computational UIs especially.

What a great article from LWN. It was well-worth reading. As someone who was excited about the NoGIL from Sam Gross when it was first posted here, I think I'm beginning to change m…

Additionally to the “why not” sibling comment, I suspect nathanmarz can take it :). (Early Apache storm user here.) It takes strong conviction to work on something like this for a …

Ah this is fun! :) > I know enough Hindustani music to understand that only melodies are played, and almost never harmonies. Especially when the artiste is performing alap. I think…

You add it in your addendum, but I must emphasize that you are extremely biased towards Carnatic. For context, I’m trained in Hindustani music and have given a number of performanc…

> Youtrack always feels like it should get more traction, but perhaps Jetbrains are happy with it being an MVP for their own purposes. If Jetbrains Spaces gets some more adoption a…

Sure, but they also (likely) have tons of teams maintaining and improving them. It's somewhat (but not exactly) like saying Youtube and Android are not Google's products.

Developer here. I quite like Jira, I've never seen anything as fleshed out or complete as it is. At a previous startup, I used clubhouse.io, but I seriously missed Jira after a few…

Really? Not the parent poster, but have observed the same thing. All interns need handholding but some need 10x more than others. And yeah, they often end up doing another internsh…

Amusingly (to me) the third attitude towards this is: "It just is that way. I'm sorry that the answer does not satisfy you, but the universe does not owe you a satifying answer." :…

Great recession grad - similar numbers. That experience has really scarred me till today, especially because I kept being told how valuable software engineers are, and how good I p…

I’ve noticed this but I don’t look at it as maintaining relationships. If you are going to cover a topic deeply better cover all sides of it rather than just a criticism piece or a…

for real under-performers, it's usually clear within 3-4 months, esp in small teams / small startups. i have _never_ seen a case where i feel a person lacks fundamentals or is a ba…

My understanding is that doing the things that gets you rewarded for whistle-blowing is flat out illegal. You will get into a world of trouble if you go for the cobra effect. In th…

It _can_. The idea of having prototypes that can be used immediately but very small in scope, not thinking about what you're going to be working on next week right now, making sure…

I like this distinction, and the bit about converting difficult problems into hard-work. There's one thing that occurred to me in the context of agile + difficult problems. When I …
