In R, data sources, intermediate results, and final results are all dataframes (slight simplification). With DuckDB, to have the same consistency you need every layer and step to be a database table, not a data frame, which is awkward for t

The other joke package is-even has 179K weekly downloads. Is an LLM making up these numbers as well, or is this the Dead Internet at work? And if it's the Dead Internet, has the Dead Internet ever heard of caching? Maybe the Dead In

Indeed, I was under the impression that Clojurescript was self-hosted (no Java dep) some time ago. Was this reversed? Also, it's easy to say in retrospect leaning on the benevolence of Google would a bad idea. But the Clojure communi

For me the flash model is way better than the pro model. I don't want to wait all the extra time to get some code back that I'm going to have to read and modify anyway. I much prefer getting a 92.5% right answer now, than 95% co

ZIRP is gone for sure, but most of the $7T the Fed printed during COVID and the $3.5T the Fed printed post-GFC remains (net +8T). For this reason, I believe the era of VC-driven nonsense is far from over. A simple example is that stonks h

it is amazing we used to prize determinism, but now it's like determinism is slowing me down. I mean how do you even write test cases for LLM agents. Do you have another LLM judge the results as close enough, or not close enough?

You're right, but actually running the code can be destructive (even when run as intended). You really need to be careful about dev environments. Even the destructive operations will cost you time (and money) in resetting the dev env
