For those who build in Ruby on Rails, does htmx have an advantage over Turbo/Stimulus? For me, the sense that it doesn't is why I've been avoiding it. Prefer to stick with vanilla stack unless there's a very compelling r

I like to say that you can either learn to be fast at doing low quality work, or learn to be fast at doing high quality work. It’s your choice really. But the only way to learn the latter is to start by prioritizing quality over speed.

Some of you might remember an article from a while back titled "Don’t Build A General Purpose API To Power Your Own Front End". This is a follow up to share how things played out, answer additional questions, and help figure out,

This used to be a blog comment service. It looks like the domain name registration expired yesterday, and nobody seems to be responding to support (likely the email under the same domain is not even working). If the owner decided to abandon

Appreciate it. I wrote this controversial thought[1] once, but for what it's worth, it applied to me just as much as to anyone else. Projects like these type gems are incredibly fun and satisfying to build. Your vision is clear, you&#x

I built portrayal[1] (a much simpler replacement for those dry libs), and was also experimenting[2] with runtime-enforced types based on this lib. My general thoughts is that declaring types in Ruby is unnecessarily complicated, because you

As a blogger who makes similar assumptions, I think we depend on how a lot of us from that time "grew up" similarly. Sockets came to relevance later in my career compared to everything else listed here.

Would be great to compare these against Apple’s LiveText. This project now supports it: https://github.com/mkyt/OCRmyPDF-AppleOCR I’ve had great results locally. Albeit you need macOS >=13 for this.

Yes, Montana too.

Doctors are paid more in rural areas than in big cities, a reverse of most other professions.

Here's my frustrating conversation with Codex just yesterday: Codex: wrap_handle is the little adapter that turns whatever raw value the Swift bridge returned into a proper Fiddle::Pointer (or nil). […] The Fiddle call can surface that

That's great, I'm going to give this a shot. If you have any more resources please do share. I don't mind Swift-only, because I'm writing little shims with `@_cdecl` for the bridge (don't have much experience here,

This is the second comment of yours about LiveText (this is the older one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43192141 ) — I found that one by complete coincidence because I'm trying to provide a Ruby API for these fra

I get what you're saying, I'm just disagreeing with your thought process. By that logic benchmarks would also not include the LLMs that they did, since most people wouldn't be able to run those either (it takes expensive hard

The short answer is a tool like OwlOCR (which also has CLI support). The long answer is that there are tools on github (I created the stars list: https://github.com/stars/maxim/lists/apple-vision-framework&#x2

I don’t think 10% of anything would be considered relatively small even if we talk about 10 items: literally there’s only 10 items and this 1 has the rare quality of being among 10. Let alone billions of devices. Unless you want to reduce i

I mostly OCR English, so Japanese (as mentioned by parent) wouldn't be an issue for me, but I do care about handwriting. See, these insights are super helpful. If only there was, say, a benchmark to show these. My main question really

10% of hardware is an insanely vast amount, no?

Wish someone benchmarked Apple Vision Framework against these others. It's built into most Apple devices, but people don't know you can actually harness it to do fast, good quality OCR for you (and go a few extra steps to produce

Right, but I hope you also understand that nobody's arguing for removing static types in your situation. In a highly fluid, multiple deployment per day, low stakes environment, I'd rather push a fix than subject the entire develop

Yeah, these are examples of situations I was referring to, where it makes sense.

I don't disagree, dynamic languages require better writing skills, so for example, in case of bilingual teams, metadata helps bridge the language barrier. However, if your team is good at expressing how/what/why[1] in your dy

Thanks for writing this (just a generally interesting window into a rare industry). As you point out, you can't only ever add. If there was a study suggesting that static types don't add enough safety to justify tradeoffs, you mig
