Seeing GLXGears is giving me a panic attack thinking about setting up linux on a shitty old laptop years ago and trying to get world of warcraft to boot up.

To follow up - no, I reproduced an error - disabled my rust-analyzer extension in vscode and it went away.

I know I saw earlier in the year a Jupyter notebook for rust - but I haven't used it personally so I'm not sure how nicely it will play. I use jupyter+python to view and play with the data usually and then write my actual job in r

I believe it's just the rust-analyzer - I only installed the rust extension via vscode so it may have included an extra bit.

Just write in Rust, it's easier to build good software than either of these languages (yea, yea, do you data analyst stuff in python until you start using POLARS). At this point it's a far superior ecosystem from a developer exper

I guess I never really took much of a liking to twitter either, but Mastodon doesn't do anything for me. I really hate big social media, but the mastodon feels like twitter and quora had an ugly baby that everyone is obligated to prete

Was expecting something else I suppose. Is this kind of stuff for potential future investors?

I have a feeling it isn't them playing with their noses they're worried about.

I must admit i've never actually used keras but this is interesting to see how they are implementing it with Jax, definitely worth a reminder to dig into one of these days.

Yes a lot of analytics use cases for smaller clients boil down to a server report of page requests. Obviously with google ads you're using it to monetize so that's a different story, but the client side analytics that google provi

The people whining about offensive output to the tune of millions of dollars invested in prohibiting it and not allowing the censor mechanism to be removed for full grown adults or developers.

If the use case is to build services there should be the ability to pass into the API "sfw:false", not everyone is building the same services that are requiring censored outputs.

It would be awesome and celebs using their own voices to be your assistant for $$$ could be potentially lucrative, amusing how even with an arbitrarily extreme example the limitations are palpably short sighted.

I agree. The problem these OO patterns tend to introduce is unneeded levels of abstraction that all boil down to making the code difficult to read without three wide screen monitors.

Here's my hot take. Most patterns are incredibly awful and abused because people prefer to solve architectural related problems in code and produce "elegant" solutions over delivering features. Here's my pattern that I u

People can be snarky about using 'untrusted code' but in 2023 this is the default for a lot of places and a majority of individual developers when the rubber meets the road. Not even to mention the fact the AI feature fads croppin

Anyone who thinks funding rehab centers and getting homeless drug addicts into free apartment units are people who have never been around homeless drug addicts. There may be some wonderful examples of this working but 99.8% of the people yo

Amusingly I take sites that look like this more seriously now, I assume it's a guy who really cares about electronics instead of a marketing guy dropshipping and spending his budget on a 17mb wordpress page and theme.
