There's a huge green quote: "Apple has confirmed that Boot Camp support isn’t coming to Arm-based Macs." And it comes right after the same sentence is uttered in the article... and is followed by "unless". All in al

That incorrect parsing of fields wih newlines is real. Here’s a demonstration how you can essentially inject made up data into someone’s analysis if you know they will use the most popular Apache project and the de-facto standard tool for b

As for traditional TensorFlow, the easiest way we found to improve performance (easily 2x) was to find/create builds tailored to our machines. Using Python, we had prebuilt wheels, which have (understandably) low feature requirements.

This is a case of a smaller Wikipedia (a country of 10M people, 400k articles or so). I've talked with our local Wikimedia orgs and there are basically two arguments: 1. It would be fairly difficult to implement an infobox that would l

I'm a big believer in Wikidata as an independent and free source of facts, but there are two major flaws in this: 1. It's super tricky to get the queries right. SPARQL is so unknown by the data community, so it's hard to get

Lack of composability? What? Of course you can use one parser for everything, what’s stopping you from doing that. Separating IO from business logic and composing the two is a pretty standard practice. Not sure I follow the argument here.

Except that it can. I hardly ever use something other than stdlib’s csv. It’s a perfectly good csv parser for production use.

If you write Python, look up Anthony Sotille (youtube, twitch, github, twitter). He does multi-hour streams as well as 10-minute explainers. Great stuff.

This looks very similar to Notion ( https://www.notion.so/ ). The one big difference being that I believe Notion will outlive Tables - especially as Tables is already touted as an incubated project.

Personally, I've tried various IDEs for Python and Go and found them to be too clunky and bloated for comfortable use.

What if I understand what an IDE gives me (especially one from JetBrains) and _that's why_ I'm choosing VSCode/Sublime/vim? (Not for Java.)

I remember a presentation by Kyle Kingsbury (the Jepsen guy), where he talked about the various inconsistencies he found in databases. He mentioned Zookeeper and said "I found no issues, which I consider a personal failure" :-)

Regarding the two licences, one for the library itself, one for the connectors - what does it mean for users, in practice? Thanks.

Keeping my fingers crossed for removal of OAuth and other complications accessing the API. I hate using libraries for this, all I want is a simple token-based REST API, something like Facebook and many others have had for years.

I probably missed it in the blogpost and github readme, but is there a good way to "export" this into a CloudFormation/Terraform template? After all, this seems to spawn a few things (networking, mostly), so I want to make su

Not OP, but these things don't have to be synchronous. I sometimes have entr running in a separate terminal, which tests and builds on every save. I don't wait for it to happen, but I do see it if it errs.

What’s the story with full disk encryption on Ubuntu these days? Last time I checked (a while ago) it was a bit clunky, but now I’m considering a Linux desktop after 10 yrs of macOS and filevault, so checking my options. Thanks!
