Yeah my impression was the Orthography is pretty consistent compared to English. From what I understand this isn't the first time they've made some kind of change to orthography, I remember reading something about updating offical

yep! However this is a website I made for hosting my own notes in the browser browser (sorry for the load times, no bundler so each file is a seperate request) https://akst.io/vis/20250601-complex-geo/?app=unsw.210

Sympathies to the author, sounds like he's talking about crawlers, although I do write scrapers from time to time. I'm probably not the type of person to scrape his blog, while it sounds like he's probably gone to lengths to

I have to agree, if it's clear the talk is just someone mindlessly rambling about a topic, it leaves me feeling like my time isn't being valued and I don't know why I'm spending it listening to this person.

I'm actually using JSTypes in app, I don't mind it. I choose to use it because I didn't want to deal with a build step for a smaller project. The project has grown and I am looking at adding a build step for bundling but stil

A singleton for me is just making sure you define a single instance of something at the entry point of your app and passing it down via constructor arguments, which is normally what I do. I understand you can override modules in tests, and

The success so far is really just political, which has largely been shutting down debate and dismissing calls for some kind of cost analysis of what we risk losing in enforcing this. Whenever someone brings up this stuff, the politicians ta

It sounds like his main gripe of vibe coding is it robs you of the satisfaction as a programmer in solving the problem. I don't disagree, but the preferences of programmers are not necessarily the main driving force here behind these c

"The amount being spent on AI data centres not paying off" is a different statement to "AI is not worth investing in". They're effectively saying the portions people are investing are disproportionately large to wha

This looks interesting, thanks for sharing.

I guess in my mind I was thinking use cases other than AI. Like statistical or hierarchical scientific models, simulations or ETL work. I also don't know if some of the econometricians I know with a less technical background would even

I know "next-generation" is just SEO slop, but I'm going to hyper fixate on this for a moment (so feel free to ignore if you're actually interested in Positron). I think the future of data science will likely be somethin

I guess I don’t stand directly underneath while typing, occasionally wipe water droplets off the screen, and ask myself if I should wrap up my shower first

I was typing that in the shower, but a more complete version of "Do they make a suite of desirable economic activity infeasible or unjustifiable more expensive (relative to the goal of the policy)" is Does the added benefit or red

Sure, but sometimes a repealing a bad piece of regulation doesn’t necessitate a replacement. Policy reform decisions need to be evidence based and sometimes evidence suggests ditching the law over updating. And sometimes it’ll say update it

I haven’t entirely followed what you meant by a solution to IO, but I’m not to surprising to hear there’s a solution. I guess the point I had in mind was, in making the case of dependent languages stuff like this may not be immediately appa

As others have said, this isn't a unique value proposition of dependent types, by all means dependent types provide a solution to this, but so do many other approaches. You can do this in C++ & Rust, and I've done something si

One of the things I love about typescript is if your audacious enough you can kind of make some types like this (still a far cry from dependent types): https://github.com/AKST/analysis-notebook/blob/main/
