What's the point of keeping track of commits? I honestly never understood people wanting that. Is this for some kind of weird accounting / social-score system where the number of commits decides your yearly bonus? It's usef

I really don't like either idea, and don't understand why is this such a big issue... Working with Web interface for anything code-related is a huge downside. Workflow doesn't matter at this point, the usability of this appr

My experience with working with hospital textual data is that, for the most part, it's either useless, or doesn't exist. The radiologist reading the image is expected to phone the specialist who requested the images to be red in

by crabbone 2y ago
Current "solutions" generally ignore or don't know how to incorporate any textual data that accompanies the image. You are trying to incorporate non-existent data that nobody ever put into any kind of medical system... Yes, i

by crabbone 2y ago
Absolutely this. Also radiologists are usually given notes on patients that accompany whatever image they are reading, and in cases like, eg. ulstrasound often perform the exam themselves. So, they are able to asses presentation, hear pati

The real problem is liability. Radiologist, if they make a mistake can be sued. Who are you going to sue when the program misdiagnoses you? NB. In all claims I've seen so far about outperforming radiologist, the common denominator wa

GitHub Actions still do it very wrong, especially in the only useful case of rebases. Here's my story: for a particular repository I was asked to add a GitHub Action that would prune all the output from Python notebooks, purge the hist

No, I don't mean like how every *nix tool works. I mean tools that are specifically designed to work with the data generated and stored by systemd. To give some examples: stdout from the process ran by systemd is automatically collec

by crabbone 2y ago
Yeah. You get as a bonus a lot of generic tools that work with systemd like journald and other systemd-family utilities. This allows you to log, group jobs, investigate failures, all with better ergonomics and easily transform it into pro

Guess who cares? The person you replied to... and it would've been really easy to figure that out, given that parent went all the way to look for implementation, isn't it? Anyways. The reason I cared is because I was working on

Once I found myself needing to sort something topologically... and the interface to this sorter is so bad that you cannot really retrofit any kind of graph data to make it work with the sorter. So, it's kinda worthless, unless you spe

Last I looked at named tuple implementation, it was along these lines: * generate source code from a template string. * eval generated code. * call constructor. This is woefully slow and wasteful compared to a sensible solution: writing it

This is maybe common, but this contradicts the definition of monorepo. You just use the word incorrectly. "Mono" means "one". If you pull packages from elsewhere, that stops being "mono". There's reall

In a company I worked for that used monorepo we had multiple versions of Linux (CentOS 6 variants) all at the same time. Trust me, something like different versions of Django is not a really big problem in comparison. But, to answer your q

1. In monorepo you don't have dependencies . This is the whole point of having a monorepo: everything is included. You can build on airgapped system, no unexpected inputs into your builds, no network partitioning problems. This is

by crabbone 2y ago
You should never use requirements.txt, nor pyproject.toml and this has nothing to do with whether you put multiple projects into the same repository or not. This is just an all-around bad idea. But, anyways. In a monorepo project you would

What you describe isn't a development process in a remote environment. You are testing on some remote compute resource. Testing is a non-essential part of development, so, in a sense it "doesn't count" that you test

It doesn't need to be resolved at input time. Protobuf wire format allows repetition. If we want to be more pedantic, Protobuf wire format doesn't have a concept of dictionaries / hash-tables however you want to call them.
