Which is fine, you don't need to use a reproducible build for local dev and can just use the real timestamp.

You can actually specify multiple types in one go usually. The actual purpose is mostly for tooling to help generate release notes.

I'm sure that's what the horse-drawn carriage drivers said about cars.

Going from high-level to the intermediate representation loses a lot of the semantic information about why something has been implemented in a certain way. LLMs essentially read their own code when producing it, so if they lose the abstract

You don't pay for premium because one day maybe it'll have ads? The mental gymnastics people employ to not pay for content with either money or ad impressions is just silly.

by chippiewill 2y ago
Yes,.more than ads, less than patreon. It's based off of watch time rather than ad impressions so creators with long form content do a lot better from it.

In this day and age you don't usually have to download the packages to resolve the dependencies as PyPI can usually expose it (unless you need to install from sdist which is less common these days). Dependency resolution is slow becaus

As a straight pip replacement, yeah it's mostly just faster. Although it does have a few breaking changes that make it more secure (it has a more predictable way of resolving packages that reduce the risk of package squatting).

I think the uv team intend to have a solution around tox (almost certainly replacing it), but haven't done so yet.

by chippiewill 2y ago
Back when PDM was still pushing __pypackages__ for standardisation I think PDM made sense, but honestly I don't think it adds anything over uv and is just going to be slower for the most part.

by chippiewill 2y ago
The benefit that uv adds is it's a one-stop-shop that's also wicked fast. If you use venv then you have extra steps because you have to explicitly create the venv, then explicitly install the deps there with pip. If your project i

RustPython is just an interpreter written in Rust. There's no reason why it would be meaningfully faster than CPython just because it's written in Rust rather than C. Rust adds memory safety, not necessarily speed. A new and immat

Nginx ingress has the same problem, it's just much faster at switching over when a pod is marked as unready because it's continuously watching the endpoints. Kubernetes is missing a mechanism for load balancing services (like ingr

The faster cpython project was for 5x over the 3.10 baseline. CPython 3.13 is currently running at something like 1.6x speed compared to 3.10. With the JIT enabled it goes up by a few more single digit percentage point. With the changes in

I don't get it. I don't even notice the notch, I'm not even sure how it's possible to see the notch considering it's in the middle of a black bar?

Most premium laptops these days have decentish touchpads. I can barely tell the difference between my Dell XPS touchpad and my macbook touchpad.

You really don't notice the notch on the macbooks, I can't even see it normally. Might be different on a Linux DE though.

The webRequestBlocking API exposes fairly low level hooks into the networking stack to the javascript layer which would be a significant limitation to performance optimisation in how requests are processed. That said I've now read that

That is a very common and overly simplistic view of the UK's energy market. What you have described is essentially the UK's day-ahead and spot energy markets. The whole point of those markets is to ensure demand is met with near 1

You can, in fact the UK _does_ have competing services via "open access railways". The issue is they only exist where routes are profitable - which is almost none of them.

It allows for filtering, but in a less powerful way. It'll still block some ads, but anti-ad-blocker tech will have an easier time.
