I had no idea there was a hotkey for that. Thank you!

What does “4x the peak GPU compute performance” mean here? No latency difference, but higher throughput? The footnote was not at all helpful > Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate pe

Curious, what were you using for doing syscall logging? LD_PRELOAD tricks, or ebpf filtering?

Perhaps it makes more sense to say that exported function interfaces be explicit. That forces you to document the api and more carefully consider changes.

Im a firm believer that there will never be a perfect general purpose job scheduler. The priority for how jobs are scheduled is always deeply coupled to your business needs. General purpose schedulers always end up as a jack of all trades b

It’s a tradeoff. Ease of modeling the pipelines vs ease of managing the infrastructure. Im not really a fan of either syntax for defining DAGs, but they're the best options out there imo.

After using Argo Workflows, I don't think I will ever return to Airflow. Kubernetes is not an easy system to manage, but managing an Airflow setup is somehow worse. The story around disaster recovery and scheduler redundancy was an abs

Jenkins is a place where you can be safe for a long time, however, it starts to break down at scale. I see it time after time for these batch workflow jobs. At the start, jobs run in seconds and everyone is happy. Over time, jobs start taki

Seems prone to deadlocking- I would avoid making the thread-pool globally scoped, and instead provide it as arguments to the helper methods.

You could argue the same thing (forcing kwargs) for all Python functions/methods, although, that would make using your APIs very annoying. The `__init__` method for dataclasses are just another method like any other. As a general rule

Ah very nice! Did not realize this was a part of the standard library!

Probably because a large amount of AIs are churning out Python code, and they need type-checkers to sanitize/validate that output quickly. Dynamic languages are hard enough for people to make sense of half the time, and I bet AI agents

Really loving those markdown style tests. I think it's a really fantastic idea that allows the tests to easily act as documentation too. Can you explain how you came up with this solution? Rust docs code-examples inspired?

It has it's niche uses, such as compiling Go for lesser used architectures. It's a bit awkward to not have full language capabilities, but it still feels nicer than writing C/C++.

On one of my internships there was a small handheld radio floating around the office. I changed it to some local AM jazz station, set it to the lowest possible volume (such that it was barely audible), and hid the radio inside another inter

That still has the same issues depending on the usage. The default construct here is `NotificationWrapper{nil}`. If you want to actually guard it, you also need to make the Value field private as that nil becomes part of your public api oth

The problem I have here, is that by being an interface you’ve suddenly made the type nilable. This leads to nasty bugs and segfaults, especially where nil is the default construct for all interfaces. Ideally sum types would be concrete&#x2F

That link I sent is an example of standard notation I used when playing set. For accents, something like bigger or smaller circles could work fine. Purdie shuffle would look like: 1 2 3 4 hh |x-xx-xx-xx-x| S |-o--o-Oo--o

Some other ideas: - 2 bar patterns would also be great. Many patterns repeat over 8 quarters. - Allowing accents (dynamics). A lot of drum patterns involve just a few drums, where accents are what bring the pattern to life. With accents and

Please allow triplets! You're missing out big without a basic shuffle! I also second the other comments about ordering. Cymbals on top, snare and toms in middle, bass and other pedals on the bottom. e.g. hh |x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| S

HL1 is a very different experience compared to HL2. If you haven't played through HL2 I would still give that a shot. I love both games, but the second one was a lot more polished.

Main issue with symlink is needing to choose the source of truth— one needs to be the real file, and the other point to it. You also need to make sure they have the same lifetimes to prevent dangling links. Hardlink is somewhat better becau
