Will node one day absorb Typescript and use it as default?

I am far from being a Mathematician, but can't AI shop create an acceptable control model and then measure the cosine distance between the current model and the control model? If the distance is too far then it's not acceptable an

I don't get why PyPy and CPython don't simply merge. It will be difficult, organization wise... but not impossible.

This is the first time I learned about their differentiating factors. Pretty cool.

This tool is awful. I hated it a decade ago and I still hate its successors in other languages. It creates unnecessary work for something that's never to be seen by real stakeholders. There is a new trend these days using LLM that is s

This is fantastic news!

Honestly, these days, just tell AI to generate one for you.

The use-case described is ill suited to be addressed by the client. Which make the whole coding exercise moot. What if there are 1 million users opening the browser at the same time? The queue question is fun but doing it in the client is n

Too bad. It's the booming part of the business. PW3 not compatible with PW2 is another bone-headed decision. I would have bought one if I can daisy chain PW3 to PW2.

Why gave up so soon? I remembered reading this on HN not too long ago.

As of right now? Nothing important. If I want to use it day-to-day, then I have to care about SLA, then I have to be the sysadmin of that thing. Not exactly fun :) What's interesting is that the TailScale network allows the local daemo

I think those problems can be solved with further research in material science, no? Combined that with very responsive but low torque servos, I think this is a solvable problem.

Big time! Almost all of my interesting knowledge came from toy projects I made to solve my own problems (or zero problem solved but it was fun so I did it anyway). For example, I wanted to know if I can make 1 Kubernetes cluster span multi

Thanks for everything, JE! jemalloc is always the first thing I installed whenever I had to provision bare servers. If jemalloc is somehow the default allocator in Linux, I think it will not have a hard time retaining contributors.

Isn't this a challenge for any big tech companies. Success metrics tend to be attached to a particular product and yet... central infra is a necessary foundational block for everyone, but it is without a specific success metrics.

wow, this is so freaking cool. Thanks for sharing.

The one day I was too busy at work... this came out. Darn. The price point is crazy good. If it indeed can be so flexible in learning a number of things, just take my wallet. Having an extra hand for N number of DIY projects is invaluable.

This is amazing. I imagine later LLM have access to my table metadata and then perhaps down the road, LLM can suggest me better queries based on execution plans that it saw.

Micro services show their benefits in a large organization. It’s a tool to solve people issues. They can remove bureaucratic hurdles and allow devs to somewhat be autonomous again. In a small startup, you really don’t gain much from them. U

It is overrated. I tried three times, just for fun, to start a decent-sized projects from start to finish without interventions. All failed. The AI can't seem to have far enough horizon to see the projects to completions. AI needs a su

I agree. YouTube Shorts should be a separate product line. The short form content is polluting the long form ones.

This resonates greatly with me. It used to be such a torture (in my own mind) to constantly trying to come up with a new hustle. But not anymore. As I got older and after fatherhood, I have learned that balance is everything. Including valu

I don’t play video game anymore since fatherhood but my 2000 hours of Skyrim would agree with the article.

So… I have a number of questions: 1. How did he tell Claude to “update” based on the notebook entries? 2. Won’t he eventually ran out of context window? 3. Won’t this be expensive when using hosted solutions? For just personal hacking, why

You are asking why Canvas? The answer is simple: Canvas is vastly better performing when given a large amount of datapoints. The difference is not even on the same plane.
177.
by didip 2y ago
The biggest problem with this is that you are representing points in DOM, just like SVG. If there are a huge number of datapoints, this library will paint itself in the corner.

by didip 2y ago
Oh, good that it can choose between canvas or svg. https://apache.github.io/echarts-handbook/en/best-practices/... Canvas is the only game in town if you have huge amount of datapoints.

Why? Clearly AI tools make life easier. I could drive a manual car, but why? Automatic transmission is so much more convenient. Furthermore, for some use-cases FSD is even more convenient. Another example: I don't want to think about g

Between Java and Python getting better year by year and the uptick of Go, Rust, Kotlin, and Swift, at this point in 2025, Scala is pretty much dead, right?
