This all feels very off. Part of the readme, and I hate to say it as it's almost become a trope at this point, feels like it was AI generated. Plus the commits are "file uploads". Plus the minified multi-MB source files. My s

Know your tools. If you're writing a script you run once in a while, 60-70ms is meaningless. If you're running it 10x a minute or more, sure reach for that fast startup language. As comments here suggest, lua isn't much of a

Dependency problems are mainly resolved with uv - try it. 1 way to do things - not sure what you mean. It's a general purpose language, if you dont like something there's probably a different library that may do it the way you lik

Idk about lua, but uv single file python scripts (search the phrase) may be highly relevant for you. Or pure python, if you don't need to pull in any dependencies.

Not quite on par with a proper programming environment like desktop Linux, you can still do some useful things with Termux on a non rooted device. Only recently got into it, but it's quite cool to be able to ssh in and write scripts, u

Where does one find a replacement battery for a thinkpad that doesn't die after 6 months? I spent $100 on what I thought was a legit and reputable local middleman for laptop batteries (of course they just buy from China), but even then

Seems like you're dismissing the uv single file setup approach without fully understanding it. I'd recommend giving it a try. It's indeed simpler and snappier than any other package manager to date.

Anyone use PEP 723 + uv with an LSP based editor? What's your workflow? I looked into it briefly, the only thing I saw after a lot of digging around was to use `uv sync --script <script file>` and get the venv from the output of

Seems like the opposite of what's being discussed in Canada now as a result of the recent tariff stuff: inter-provincial trade is hampered by different rules and regulations, and now there's incentive and a real push to harmonize

I have yet to see any source that proves 174 is the sole or major reason for the downturn. If you have something that suggests otherwise that, please do share. As far as I was able to surmise, after becoming interested in the topic last yea

Was one of those 250,000 kids. The only real vivid memory I have left of that unfortunately was seeing a Tour de France documentary in the IMAX screen they have. That was really incredible. Haven't really followed the story closely, bu

There's a certain serenity in it. Maybe its akin to making furniture in a way, working with you hands. Certainly at some point in the future writing C and raycasters may be closer to woodworking than to the status quo of software devel

The first half is pretty good hard-ish sci-fi, might be worth checking out.

That effectively sums it up for me as well. I enjoyed the hard-ish sci-fi of the first half, then it turn into some speculative future storyline and I lost interest 5 mins in.

Have you looked at Seveneves? I really enjoyed the first half, never finished the second half. Never really liked Diamond Age, but really liked Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon. I have Termination Shock queued up, will see how that goes. The de

That's somewhat surprising, but then again, maybe not. Thanks, I'll take note of that. For anyone else, I also remember PostgresSQL manual/docs being very high quality, so that might be worth reading just to better grok SQL&#

I understand that. I was asking more about if anyone knows any open source codebases that are high quality, non-trivial and well designed, that one should read and study to better see how others have written good code and systems.

Can anyone share good resources or codebases that have high quality web backend with optimized queries and data structures (db schema, backend internal data structures, overall backend architecture)? I feel like a lot of code you see in art

Bootstrapping is one option that many still choose over external funding. In the lean startup sense, ie a slow burn, low burn rate. Others may opt for non-VC financing (bank, personal loan, friends, family) or using their own savings as cap
