Thank you, Hallon - I've been on the same plan for the last four years and I don't think I've ever checked my data quota :)

If you're willing to take a loss like that, you should spend your time programming for yourself, not willingly making yourself a victim of exploitation.

I would like to believe this, but in practice, the context switch involves purging my mental working state, which drags me out of the flow state. I'm not sure how to solve this, but I imagine that the context I switch to should be as c

Personally, I do; my only interactions with Python are unwilling (work or AI-related code). Given that I don't have much of a choice in the matter, I'd like to see Python improve as a language and as an ecosystem. I hope that one

This seems like a microcosm of the general design problems that pervade Python. It is a fundamentally quirky language.

You're not the only one who wishes Go was just a bit more like Rust: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo Sadly, that project seems to be dead, but I hope someone picks up its mantle some day. A marginally better

Worth noting that Cursor is a VS Code fork and you can copy all of your settings over to it. Not saying that you have to, of course, but that it's perhaps not as different as you might be imagining.

Yes, they're uncompressed. For reference, `enwiki-20250620-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2` is 25,176,364,573 bytes; you could get that lower with better compression. You can do partial reads from multistream bz2, though, which is h

Being wrong in the other direction doesn't mean you've found a great balance, it just means you've found a new way to be wrong.

This is a new model. Those tests were with what's currently publicly available.

It's pretty straightforward? You can interpolate a variable in scope and apply modifiers to it. You can't interpolate arbitrary expressions (which field access would be). Alternatively, you can interpolate an arbitrary identifier,

Much more capable and reliable type system, paired with comparatively sane package management. This is getting better in the Python world (thank you Astral), but it's still not anywhere near the same.

Is that a lot for an application that does what it does?

I feel like "solved" is a strong word for what's described here. This works for some - possibly even many - scenarios, but it does not solve memory lifetime in the general case, especially when data from different scopes need

The lack of accessibility on the web is less an immediate mode problem and more of a problem with eschewing the web's native UI stack and rendering everything yourself. There are ways to signal to the browser what the content of your c
