They spent months hyping up Mythos and ended up with it banned. I’d assume they want to both differentiate their products and appeal to regulators here

I still dont fully understand the point of MCP servers. What do they provide that a skill doesnt? Maybe I've just used too many poorly written ones. Is there some sort of tool that…

How is this different than adding a calendar mcp server to something like Claude?

Timezones still play a huge part here as well. My team has several engineers who are at par compared to the rest of the team but they're a pain to work with due to a 10 Hour time d…

interesting! what sort of errors did you find and were there any sort of take aways your had other than lack of care by the data provider?

even with the supported plug-ins it's still not the same either. intellij with python plugin has just enough differences with it that it throws off some of my coworkers who use pyc…

Yep, I got intellij to work with python/rust/scala and it's frustrating to see it pulled out like that. Not sure why they need to sell so many IDEs that are almost identical. Would…

Yeah, dagster has a concept of metadata and assets so we have some code that'll map dagster's own logical representation to physical s3 locations. Reports and viz varies a lot, the…

We orchestrate our ETL pipelines with dagster. We only use duckdb in a few of them but are slowly replacing pandas etls with it. For some of our bigger jobs we use spark instead. E…

It's a bit frustrating reading this article, There's clearly two different problems going on here. Claiming your filling is 100% tuna or that your drink is made with aged vanilla, …

I use 1.1.1.1 myself, if cloudflare follows this court order i doubt I'd ever notice. Despite that, it's absolutely disgusting, and sets a bad precedent. What happens if China/Russ…

How would it compare to other REPL languages? EG: Python, Scala or Julia?

There's a great blog written by someone who wrote a very efficient geohashing algorithm in go/assembly that may help a little bit with understanding it. https://mmcloughlin.com/pos…
