   The author's grandpa reminds me of Sam Hamilton from East of Eden, someone who (though fictional, of course) I think about often when I think about the kind of man I'd like to be some day. A couple lines in particular jumped out a

   Ha! Intellectually I completely agree. This particular term has recently worked its way back into my social circle's lexicon because we all have young kids and are trying to swear less. I'm not sure I have ever used it in writing

   This thread must have at least one A Fire Upon the Deep reference, so I'll do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fire_Upon_the_Deep Edit: tldr; Vernor Vinge, the guy who originally coined the phrase "the s

   I'm having a weirdly difficult time finding some basic ELI5 answers. - What is the probability that this asteroid will hit us? - What is the time interval where that probability applies? - Do we have a probability distribution

   Hot-ish take incoming: It's even less complicated than all this. You spend X on a feature to increase revenue by Y. You pay a plumber N so you don't have to pay a flooring guy 10N. In some orgs, if they're large, you could re

   I've never used it for Mongo, but Prisma is a pretty great type-safe ORM that supports Mongo: https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started .

   Zod is...so freaking great. I'm feeling kind of hyperbolic at the moment, so I'll even go so far as: for a certain style of programming, adding Zod to a codebase is as big of a win as adding TypeScript.

    +1. Almost every time I actually write out a type it's because I want to communicate some domain knowledge. For everything else I use inferred types. IMO this is The Way.

    A similar approach I've been using recently and am so far really, really enjoying is to put all "conversation" into a dedicated "devlog" directory in the project root. We put everything in it: meeting notes, proje

    I don't want to make any real assertions but my intuitive reaction to this comment is _this person has no clue what they are talking about_. I would rather turn of syntax highlighting than turn off Copilot and I'd rather disable G

    Since we're all sharing our favorite simplest solutions, I guess I'll throw https://fly.io out there. The DX is far from perfect right now so this answer is _ever-so-slightly theoretical_ but, if you know how to use Do

    FWIW there are tons of ways to use Docker without an image (I assume you meant image) registry. If you're running Docker on the server you're deploying to then that's all you need.

    FWIW they mention this in the article: > I like this, because it kind of eliminates the need for radians: the x in usin(x) has the unit of “turns”. I think this is conceptually much simpler.

    It's always seemed to me that Fly has a really awesome, modern perspective on software engineering and that they'd be a great place to work, but I've also always felt like there's a glaring inconsistency between their ma

    Could anyone who's actually using this spare a moment for an elevator pitch? I am one of many developers who have a latent intuition that our shell programming environment could be made more efficient, but I've yet to see a "

    This sounds quite interesting, could you expand on it? What is some of the low-hanging fruit in your opinion? Do you have any examples of projects that are explicitly building on top of these ideas?

    This of course depends entirely on how big the codebase is. But the short answer is "yes".

    I feel like the toy examples in the article might only make sense to people who already know why they want this feature. The examples don't make it at all obvious to me why I would want this feature. The new version in the examples hav

    I've scanned the codebase and IMO the statement is mostly misleading. I think LangChain agents (which this is a thin wrapper around) do have some default compression/reranking behavior to help fit relevant context into the context

    When you're building applications on top of LLMs, there are a number of central problems that you're trying to solve and this is one of them. Solutions are numerous and widely variable, everything from basic regex parsing to fine-

    I didn't want to not reply but I also didn't want to be swept into a potentially fraught internet argument. So, I tried to edit my comment as a middle ground, but it looks like I can't, I guess there must be a timeout. If I c

    I skimmed the repo, one thing that I noticed and appreciate about this project is that it looks like it doesn't make any assumptions about your prompts. One very similar tool is https://github.com/paradigmxyz/flux

    Another option that's not quite as good as `a + b + c` but that is possible with TypeScript is a fluent API: const sum = a.add(b).add(c);
