React and Django are good default options.

Sugar on top of sugar. I don't see the point of this or langchain itself when I can call the underlying model API directly in a way that's convenient for me.

Nowhere. They’re migrating even less than people migrated from Twitter.

> The majority of young tech professionals in the US are trying to retire early? No way this is true. The majority won't even know that it's a thing, let alone have it as a goal.

Have short-lived branches for whatever change you're making, merge into main, repeat. Is there a problem with this? Seems too obvious to even call it a strategy.

I explained why "twitter and reddit bad" isn't a good enough argument.

You're right, it's a bit more nuanced. People I've met at Rust meetups have been great, and some of the prominent people in the community are wonderful (I really like Jon Gjengset's youtube streams for example). At the s

There are teams rewriting web apps and APIs in Rust. Maybe they're making a mistake, maybe they're doing great and are happy trading off some developer time and training overhead for what they're getting from the language - I

The worst thing about Rust is easily the community - lots of drama and arguments, people building their personalities about something trivial like which programming language they use because it makes them feel superior, and many fans of Rus

Terraform is open source. What are people paying for?

We can have XR and personalised language bots and the web. I don't think they're a replacement.

Why not replace pylint with it?

We don't have one right now, reddit is still a unique place (in good and bad ways).

Looks great, I imagine these will sell very well even if $1299 starting is kind of steep. Last time I was shopping for a laptop the screen was the main reason I picked a Pro over an Air.

No? Or maybe because my math education was good, I've always had it? Either way I'm not impressed - math isn't special, you don't need to put it on a pedestal.

Syntax is mentioned in the article - it's under "Complex Grammar".

A bunch of things you don't like about Rust? Turns out that the person who originally created the language doesn't like them either. I know that the main point is about governance and how having a BDFL would have led to a complete

Biggest application I'm seeing personally so far is assistance in knowledge work. It's not a separate commercial application, it's not a new business if that was the kind of answer you were expecting. It's just some task

The fastai courses are more on the pragmatic side. Not the biggest fan of their lecture order but many people like them. The other option is to follow tutorials - e.g. pytorch.org/tutorials - it doesn’t get any more practical and light

This is pointless yelling at clouds. For most things there's a generally accepted mapping <thing> : <term for the thing> which evolves naturally over time as part of language and culture. That's what AI is - a name for

It's okay to write down one cliche for each year of your life, it's not okay to have so little self awareness that you make it a blog and post it on HN yourself.

Similar things might happen in other communities but Rust drama seems much more visible, and this isn't because of HN bias - the foundation having weird guidelines, controversy around governance, prominent people in the community badmo

Is there a reason people aren’t suggesting some cloud object storage service like S3, GCS or Azure storage?
