I notice KDE's resource utilization more or less constantly. With KDE's bling turned all the way down, Kwin constantly uses 5-10% CPU when I am literally doing nothing (with my hands off the mouse/keyboard). This causes my la

So many of communities in NC are completely cut off without food, water, power, and until a day or two ago cell service. The level of "disaster recovery" is shameful to nonexistent in so many places. I invite you to watch the vid

Is there an active effort to get temporal tables into Postgres at the moment?

The most ironic thing thing is that Python, is named after Monty Python, which was quite controversial in it's time. For example, Monty Python The Life of Brian makes fun of both Christianity and LGBTQ folks. https://m.youtu

I thought I read somewhere that the Chrome team tried typed JS, found out that there was a performance hit, and they ended the experiment? Is this a continuation of that or a new effort? Sounds interesting.

> I want my types to be verified before runtime, what should I do with type error at runtime? It is weird to me you cannot think of uses for types and handling their errors at runtime. Look at projects like FastAPI (which uses pydantic)

Idk they're just different tradeoffs to me. Types are real and enforceable at runtime in Python (e.g, pydantic). Types in TS/JS are a fake veneer that add a build step. Is that categorically better? I don't love Python typing

Dbgate looks really interesting, do you know if it supports debugging (especially in postgres)? I didn't see anything on their site, but maybe it is offered via a plugin or something?

Your example is bang on when describing a "strongly typed" language. That said, strongly typed is different from "static typing", which is what you described later in your post. Python is both strongly typed and dynamica
