I never knew Sam Altman threw Bret Taylor out of a window. That makes the OpenAI board drama more understandable.

Some valid points here. I’m awaiting a response post in 2 days called “Database mocks are worth it” which will also have some valid points. Perhaps I’m a little burned out by tech blogging lately.

I think it's a stretch to call it underrated. Isn't it the defacto language for embedded scripting stuff? I've seen it used as a mini language in production in game engines, databases, and trading systems. On the other hand,

My mind is blown right now. My whole life I've been told that my speech is so American and that I don't have a Russian accent (left Russia when I was 4). Lo and behold, this app tells me that my accent is Russian (61%) with Englis

Well now that there's a meta comment about the comment quality, this is more like pre-2020 YouTube.

I actually use the history API. I've been thinking about modernizing by replacing it with React Router. I'll check out Routerino also.

Which one of these technologies is React built on top of?

by lopatin 2y ago
By vanilla React I meant that I don't use the new Next.js / SSR stuff and instead build a JS file.

I'll continue using vanilla React, for the same reason I use Java: it's reached the coveted "boring technology" status where it's mature, stable, fast enough, and has a huge community, resources, and ecosystem. I wo

I think the competition for the future is between DuckDB and Polars. Will we stick with the DataFrame model, made feasible by Polars's lazy execution, or will we go with in-process SQL a la DuckDB? Personally I've been using DuckD

What was that phrase about not assuming malice when you could assume something else? Most likely GP saw the actual Flutter founder announcing themselves as "flutter founder" and assumed it was a common phrase for founders who use

> I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language Sorry what? Isn't Rusts whole thing is that it prevents you from prototyping wild ideas, in the name of memory safety?

It's a qualifier. In a sense, they do know their audience fairly well because someone who clicks on that link is intrigued and feel they have more to learn about it. Anyone who is pretty knowledgeable about the subject will go "

How did idiomatic Rust make it hard to implement a doubly-linked list? I don't know Rust, so asking out of curiosity.

PL people also like bootstrapping languages. Writing Rust in Rust might not be that far fetched?

For it to be a paradigm shift, there would have to be some definition of the new paradigm in the article, but it really only describes what it's not (regular management). Will go out on a limb and say that this seems to be a little bit

I think you're trying to use DuckDB incorrectly. If you have a writer connection open to the DB, you can't open reader connections as well (including from IntelliJ). You'll get file lock errors, as you noticed. You can either

As a potential user of Ibis, how do I know they won't eventually drop support for other backends until it just becomes a frontend for DuckDB?

Why is "incoherent output" better? When an LLM hallucinates, it coherently and confidently lies to you. I think "hallucination" is the perfect word for this.

I know next to nothing about this. How do people make use of forecasts that don't provide an uncertainty? It seems like that's the most important part. Why hasn't bayseyan statistics taken over completely?
