Meetups shortcomings are just one of many reasons why we’re building embolt[1] as an organization-first platform. Running a club with events on meetup is great only until you need your community to contribute to the growing cost of running

Especially when they don't even leave a doc string so you're forced to track down the packages documentation online just to interact with certain interfaces. I work in a large python codebase, we have almost no usage of `*kwargs`

I'm confused as to this author's proposed alternative, they don't like tailwind - so go use Vue? Apples to oranges, what about people using HTML + CSS markup without the overhead of a javascript framework? What's the alt

We're using the hosted option, and since we run on rails all we needed was the ruby SDK [1]. Essentially, we just have an additional logger attached to our stdout logger which ships logs over to highlight using their OpenTelemetry impl

BRL-CAD was the first project I ever contributed to, very nostalgic to see it on HN suddenly after all of these years. Back in 2012 I was lucky enough get into the Google Summer of Code program and landed on this project. Everything confuse
