Consider: a cheap VPS can have disk latency above 10ms while the in-datacenter LAN can be ~1ms.

ctrl-f for "This isn't" and note how many instances of this pattern there are: > This isn't X. It's Y.

ARM/RISC-V extensions may be another reason. If a wide-spread variant configuration exists, why not build for it? See: - RISC-V's official extensions[1] - ARM's JS-specific float-t…

This seems to be from astral, the organization behind ruff[1], uv[2], and rye[3] (all good things!). They seem to force using python -m pip on Windows since they don't ship pip.exe…

Lacking named tuple support is a deal-breaker for some projects. This is directly from their GitHub issues comments[1]: > Duplicate of #5613, still low priority, better use datacla…

TL;DR: Why not add a capability/permissions model to CI? I agree that pinning commits is reasonable and that GitHub's UI and Actions system are awful. However, you said: > Maybe ac…

TL;DR: Yes and it's creating "It's X and limited by Y, but it works" projects In web front-end, the same pattern crops up repeatedly. Two examples: * Elm[1]: It's brutally function…

Line length is definitely configurable. All it takes is adding the following on pyproject.toml[1]: [tool.black] line-length = 100 Aside from matrix-like or column aligned data, the…

My understanding of black is that it solves bikeshedding by making everyone a little unhappy. For aligned column readability and other scenarios, # fmt: off and # fmt: on become cr…

we keep having similar problems, lol.

TL;DR: Octo[1] and OctoJam were cozy little highlights despite the grimness of the pandemic years. Octo[1] targets variants of CHIP-8, an ancient virtual console. The language is s…

TL;DR: How much of this is a potential class-action[1] and how much of this is failure to deliver on AI? Am I missing something? On one hand, I think I get it: Intel hasn't been a …

TL;DR: They already wrote Varvara[1] + software[2] for it My understanding is: * The authors wanted to run on a Raspberry Pi powered by solar + batteries * They're often somewhere …

TL;DR: Cut scope and call it done? These sound like you're trying to build something with professional polish when you wanted to have fun: > Part of it feels like I've tried to do …

I agree for smaller projects, especially personal ones. For larger projects, approaches like GitHub's web client + terminal interface might be the next best thing since grepping do…

Do you remember WordArt[1]? > does it really cheapen it to have an obvious AI thumbnail? > Does it say "trying too hard"? If the article isn't about AI images, they often signal on…

TL;DR: Did the lab get a chance to try integrating sensors into a nice looking, non-smart wristwatch form factor? > What we found is that seniors had essentially no desire to wear …

TL;DR: Wi-Fi can already provide that signal. We can already get full 3D pose estimation from Wi-Fi. Whether that's a good thing is a separate topic, but there's a recent paper[1] …

TL;DR: My concerns are more directly practical ones about approaches (formal and humor-based) to overcoming language barriers between devs across language families > visual basic d…

Can I consider the UXF format stable? UXF was one of the intended eventual targets of a very bad font converter I need to eventually rewrite.

TL;DR: You may be right about LISP issues, but my intent was show how IO and social factors seem key to platform success I'll skip discussing Python for the moment because I think …

TL;DR: US manufacturers seem to favor the luxury market due to margins, but that might change To my understanding, there are two main demographics: * truck as tool (you and I) * tr…
