Just want to comment that Litestar is awesome. Docs are great and the built-in caching feature is very convenient!

I find it infuriating that navigation apps throw ads when I'm stopped at a red light. This is THE moment where I should glance away from the road and plan my routing

This analogy doesn't map to the actual problem here. Perplexity is not visiting a website everytime a user asks about it. It's frequently crawling and indexing the web, thus redire…

You should checkout the Python framework Litestar. It's an alternative to FastAPI that implements these ideas via their "Data Transfer Object" concept

> That seems unavoidable given almost all English words related to government/law/administration (including "state") derive from French! Interesting. I always thought that Britain …

I like to joke that "Dominion of Canada" is actually a railroad company

From the link you shared: > The English word province is attested since about 1330 and derives from the 13th-century Old French province, which itself comes from the Latin word pro…

The reality in Montréal is that most people are bilingual. Outside older folks, unilingual French speakers are much rarer than unilingual English speakers, which are structurally p…

The original post was focused on history and language, and I added some political spice. Not discussing the politics of language (as in OP) is a bit outrageous. You're right that F…

Office Québécois de la Langue Française (OQLF) promotes the french language and adapt new English words (whereas France typically integrate English words in their vocab). The websi…

déjeuner is a literal translation though. "Breaking fast" -> "dé-jeuner" (undo fasting). French people typically say: - breakfast - petit-déjeuner (small breakfast) - lunch - déjeu…

This is a remnant of British colonization. French-speaking population didn't know any English, so you have a lot of these literal translations. I've heard "flour" uttered with the …

Well, why not include the word "Canadian", which significantly predates the country, as the prime example? It's derived from Iroquois Nation words and used by French settlers to re…

In French, the river and the animal are both "tigre"

You're getting an arbirary string back though...

The VSCode extension Continue provides similar capabilities and gives you full access to your interaction traces (local database and JSON traces)

IMHO, the bigger name conflict is with Tigris Data. Tigris means tiger and despite no tiger logo, they did have tiger stickers at events

Agreed on this view! Sharing some similar thoughts Paraphrasing a virtuous music band reflecting on their discography: "the first album was about what we could; the second one was …

I guess you would be paying for pushing all of these tokens to the LLM. Also, too much irrelevant context can "confuse" the model about the task at hand

My main gripe with Cursor is that they put MCP usage behind a paywall and their support for the protocol is weaker than Continue's in meaningful ways[1]. Given the big community pu…

Congrats on the launch HN! I've been following the IDE + LLM space. What's Continue's differentiator vs GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, Claude Desktop, etc. ? What are you looking t…

dbt needs to play catch up against SQLMesh feature-wise, so they bought their other competitor SDF. SQLMesh seems to have more development velocity, and dbt will need to execute a …

This looks like an interesting tool to log data pipeline runs. Is it closer to an Airflow ETL dashboard or a MLFlow experiment manager? Who's supposed to manage it?
