It's worked great for us. Every developer runs a dev cluster on their own machines. Services like s3 are transparently replaced with mock versions. We have two builds that can be run, which really just determines which set of helm char

It automatically triggers hi-perf mode which switches to the discrete card automatically though. At least on my machine.

No way can I use a text editor that requires the hi-perf discrete gfx card. My battery just can't take it. Hope I can get all my work done in about 1.5 hours, because that's how long the 2019 16" mpb will last with the discre

Their ham-fisted linking of facebook and instagram accounts has been an absolute nightmare for those of us that use their messenger apis. It has never fully worked correctly, and has led to more lost dev time than I care to count. I can&#x2

1000 times yes. It is horrible to deal with. And the error reporting when it fails is often obtuse in my experience.

I just disassembled mine a few days ago and cleaned it out completely. Before that, my fans would literally max out with almost nothing running. Now, they stay silent pretty much all the time (until I do something really intensive). Still t

So, they essentially saved the cost of one good engineer. Question is, are they spending 1 man-year of effort to maintain this setup themselves? If not, they made the right choice. Otherwise, it’s not as clear cut.

I didn't write this (our founder did) but I am one of the early engineers at Groove. As a previous founder who went through this in the past, I know that acquisition talks happen all the time, and that they often lead nowhere. But when

The alternative isn’t always “people just need to be better at their job”. Sometimes the alternative is that the thing you like to use never gets built at all because the cost of building it “right” would be prohibitively expensive. It’s al

So, I tried out pytype the other day, and it was a not a good experience. It doesn't support PEP 420 (implicit namespace packages), which means you have to litter __init__.py files everywhere, or it will create filename collisions. See

I've been working on getting LLM-based features out in a production environment for the past few months. This article is absolute gold. Does a great job of capturing several learnings that I think a lot of us are dealing with in silos.

I absolutely love Ableton for all my electronic work. Whenever I am composing with virtual instruments (Kontakt, etc) though, Cubase just works better for me (even though it is a beast).

I love Cubasis, but it definitely has some frustrating bugs. The team is pretty responsive, but I'd be quite interested to see if Logic is any better.

I’ve been working on giving it uniquely-generated boundaries around each bit of input, along with an example of what to ignore. I’ve had pretty good results so far.

Tiktoken is pretty nice. I've been exposing it as an internal service in our infrastructure so that we can get token counts easily. The bigger problem is figuring out how to chunk longer contexts so that you stay within the context win

I mean, vscode's own extensions and language servers crap the bed plenty, though it's gotten much better in the last year or so.

Hah, I finally threw away my toshiba hd-dvd player away about two days ago. Was sitting since they lost the war, about 3 months after I bought it.

Oh yeah, 100%. Even if they said the keys were for sure not leaked, I still would have rotated. Second I saw the disclosure on Jan 4, we went into emergency mode. Definitely not leaving that to chance.

Morally, I won't go back to pirating - I stopped that around 2006. But I understand why people are so frustrated by the current landscape. It's a terrible mess that is incredibly consumer hostile, and these companies deserve to ge

I use k8s in Docker desktop, so I tried using ksync, but it’s just broken. Lots of reports of it not working. I’m gonna play with a rolling my own syncing solution, either host -> vm or the other way around.

It's not just rspec, any rails boot is slow. We have a pretty large project with a significant number of files and a significant number of gems, so the initial boot that loads all the constants etc is what does it.
