classes are a bad way to model data imo I wish python had a clean way to define types without defining classes. Think a _good_ mechanism to define the shape of data contained within primitives/builtins containers without classes -- al

I think the whole concept of source files as unordered blobs on the filesystem is just _wrong_ -- and a serious drag on the ability of a reader to quickly digest a codebase and make inferences about changes in isolation ... Codebases are _o

What i want to know is how long does it take for this kind of dip to show up in real estate prices -- there's a certain amount of loss in that sector (not all that large) before the downward trend in asset prices becomes self-accelerat

I'm sure it factors into the calculus of the sellers -- best chance they have that there might exist an irrational buyer onto whom they can unload the losses is likely now ...

I voted early in person in Colorado a few days ago. Use a machine to entry my votes. Votes were printed onto a piece of paper. I checked to make sure the marks on the paper matched what I entered into the machine and then dropped it into

I recently added some pretty printers for a type we have a lot of in our codebase (the c++ Eigen library). Unlike the article we are using lldb rather than gdb ... and while I appreciate thats its possible _at all_ to script the debugger to

I think it's a pretty good name for the phenomenon -- maybe the only problem with the term is that what models are doing is 100% hallucination all the time -- it's just that when the hallucinations are useful we don't call th

Is there a way to use this to capture just hashes of the code (transitive) that implements a particular function? I can't buy into a whole framework in my current context -- but I would really like a way to roll my own content hashing

Strongly pro rebase here. I sometimes wish I could require squash merging to main so that history on main is fully linear -- however the fatal flaw with doing that is that it becomes impossible to know from git history whether a given branc
