This is unhelpful without a more explicit and detailed account of what is deficient in their approach. It’s the internet so not holding mu breath but fyi.

+1 for Dark Reader. I use it to change the font on every website, darkmode _everything_, and even paid for the ios version. Fantastic plugin. Using it on brave, safari, firefox, chrome.

I’ve been using textra for a wrapper on the Apple vision sdk https://github.com/freedmand/textra But this project calls torch and a bunch of other ML libs. So it’s not using Apple vision?

I don’t get this. There was no actual punishment for Facebook — so what will make them change their behaviour? Secondly, how can the lawyers just LIE and say he deleted his account when the company itself must have records of that. If they

I feel like I should have just paid money to have read something that valuable. There is incredible and no doubt hard won wisdom in this note. Amazing. Thank you.

One 'solution' for this might be just to let viewers judge. Have some kind of live voting system, and then this might change skating incentives to align closer with the aesthetic preferences of the actual audience.

But he contemplates many scenarios in which “the client” is fragmented thing. Ie one division contracts you then gets eliminated and the company wants to renege. There “the client” has in a sense stopped existing. So how does your experienc

Astonishing. Deeply humbling. I cried so much reading it. It’s an important piece of writing.

The piece gives a lot of superficial reasons, but they just push back the level of explanation. Reading between the lines, the ultimate reason seems to be something like “because they can.”

SQLite couldn’t be the problem. Scales well to millions and millions of rows. Clearly something else going on.

They kept the other spying secret for a long time and it was only due to pretty heroic actions by one person that it got exposed. So I duno.

You need to generate backpressure. Or indeed find something else and bail out. At least tell them why though.

feeling massive scope creep in the use of this term 'autistic' of late... It's gone from a personality type we might call 'nerdiness' (and many entailments) to this kind of quasi-medicalised definition.

Kind of amazed that while programmers’ whole game is to develop systematic solutions to annoying problems… our own most basic need hasn’t been really met this way? For instance devdocs does not have a bunch of libraries that I use regularly

This is hilarious. I got halfway through this and thought “this sounds like Simon Sarris” then looked at the id.

Hm. Let's think about what your goal is here. Isn't it to communicate with an imagined reader? What would be the point of cranking out the content if it's basically... borderline unreadable, and therefore not fulfilling the p

I checked your site. It’s great you have the energy to promote and explain nix. I think you could get a lot out of that google course teaching technical writing. There were some other HN posts on technical writing recently too. You’re a tec

How better than Tailscale funnels??

Funny but serious q: anyone used this as drop in replacement? Who wouldn’t want to use less memory and get faster backups??

I use restic daily to s3 and local. I use bash scripts and have a ntfy.sh update if it fails. Recommend it. Main issue with borg was a gigantic cache.

Well… wow. That sucks. Why?? Couldn’t they have him pitching in on other projects or something? Seems a tough pill. Gosh. Is the money posit is able to make from its R products dropping or what? Would be super interesting to know the inside

Any plans to try fine tune an LLM specialised in polars? That would really be the killer feature to get major adoption IMO.

Also recall that a 50% speed improvement in SQLite was caused by 50-100 different optimisations that each eeked out 0.5-1% speedups. On phone now don’t have the ref but it all adds up.

Love it! Would be great if I could adjust height of the boxes to fit more on a page on iPhone.

Ah thanks. It didn't say that anywhere I saw on the site. Didn't expect that since it seems in at least some of the cases there is no lawsuit where they can expect to recover damages. It costs a penny to keep professionals like th

I would probably pay for this if: - vi bindings - show me where the file is so I can move it around, sync it across machines, back it up, etc. - the inverse order stuff It's really really good. thank you.
