I’d really encourage you with Unicode support, as frustrating as of a side track it may be - I’ve had fun dogfooding my hobby languages by writing small web servers and CLI utiliti…

Re: Bayer - the non-health industry side? I'm surprised NIH hasn't rolled out something like this earlier, to be honest, with their increasing emphasis on commercialisation.

Thanks - the program guide at the very bottom seems to have the most detail. https://uidp.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/UIDP-I-PhD-Schol...

Looking at the $$$ awarded -- that's interesting: $37k/year, and while there's a $22,000 "ancillary expenses" component, institutions administer it, and can use it like any other i…

If you want to skip the fluff, the actual funded program abstract here: https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-award/?AWD_ID=2624416 Appropriately enough for a pilot, there's a struc…

Notoriously after Halo for Macintosh was canned, too...

This is incredibly superficial, but that’s the most thoughtfully laid out and typeset official report I’ve read in ages.

Better than a 2026 human, worse than a 2016 machine. You win some, you lose some, I guess...

This is a sleeper option, but 'xonsh' as a Python superset is a very pleasant experience, especially when you just don't feel like learning another bespoke language for the complex…

We’re at the gamification stage of motivating people to use your product, eh?

> It sounds like, in this case, Apple has hard proof that documents were stolen. Honestly, the proof is the least surprising part -- Apple's been paranoid about leaks for decades, …

> AI model providers have zero "moat", clients change them as they see fit. That might be true in tech-savvy industries -- but in non-tech industries where the biggest software pur…

The "curb cut effect", right? I'm sure there's a human-friendly interface to MCPs myself. I think we're reinventing application scripting that way.

i.e., welcome to Constitutional law, where divining the effect of a amendment written in 19th century prose lives and dies on jurisprudential philosophy, rather than decided case l…

Fascinating to think about the logistics with avoiding ROM – model compatiblity must've been a PITA! I'm even thinking about how to identify models – I know there's a pre-Gestalt T…

Yes, OP started the sentence with that. But, you do make me wonder if floating-point imprecision would eventually lead to material issues...

I would give my left leg to learn how the permissions system worked – do end users (and PHBs) get to edit the rules directly? I fully expect some HR ass to go: can_view(Person) :- …

> Also...these things tend to have fuckin terrible documentation. Good luck figuring any of this out. And you can't google it and your AI is just as lost as you I convinced my boss…

I can't wait for the development postmortem ;) Any hunches on why the iBook might not be working? I've been having hell with PRAM watch batteries recently.

> I do not like the R language at all myself, but to be fair there are reasons it is widely used in higher ed. In the same boat... from a PL perspective, yikes (especially the macr…

Even though I've dealt with this, I'm genuinely appreciative of requirements: out of many stipulations, packages that monkeypatch are prohibited (I have a few ones that add diagnos…

The other half is: "What combination of packages and task views do I actually need to not reinvent the wheel for this particular type of analysis?"

Gloriously boring WordPress, too.

I get it – in my (limited) opinion, there's a lot that's quirkily (but avoidably) named about ggplot and the surrounding R ecosystem in general.
