Oh man. That brings back memories. I adored The Rocketeer as a little kid. I had an NES game based on the movie, too, but I think I remember it being too hard for me.

I moved from jekyll (to hakyll) to hugo years ago since I found working with Ruby and its libraries slightly annoying and Hugo (packaged as a simple binary) more straightforward to use. That said, I haven't updated my blog in years, an

I had a Toyota. It was a great car, and a real testament to the engineering prowess Toyoda established. I see very clear, very interesting Innovator's Dilemma vibes, though, in how widely they've missed the boat on EVs. I wouldn&#

Bingo! I'm so glad I asked. Yep, I was looking at only part of the rate schedule. Looks like my effective rate is actually closer to $0.96/therm, or $0.033/kWh equivalent. At an electric rate of $0.14/kWh, now we're

I know heat pumps are all the rage on HN these days, but I looked into them for myself in Indiana, and they don't seem to make financial sense at all, unfortunately. My utility, NIPSCO, charges $0.25699/therm for gas. There are 29

I never understood that. I don't think the movie is clear exactly what happens, but he... does swim back, right? Or does he just flounder and rely on his brother bringing him back?

Yes, and it's up to each of us to decide how we feel about that. I personally don't think I have a problem with it, but then I've always been somewhat opposed to software patents and other IP protections. I mean, the whole r

In another comment I mention how overwhelmed I am by all this stuff, so maybe don't take it from me, but when I've been searching for answers about stuff like best practices for windows or replacing my furnace with a heat pump, gr

This makes me so overwhelmed. I own a house built in the 1950s and I want to make it more energy efficient, but where do I begin, and how do I change parts of it without causing other problems. Can I improve insulation without causing moist

I dunno, American here and to me being up for something and being down for something are pretty equivalent. I don't hear any hesitancy in "I'm up for whatever".

I think it depends when you bought FSD, since how it has been described has changed over the years. At the minimum, it's not "fraud, plain and simple" because there are people that currently use it and are happy with it. And

Oh wow, are you on the TigerBeetle team then? I only knew of you as the rust-analyzer guy, with awesome posts on your blog. Do you have any thoughts on how working on TigerBeetle with Zig is? It seems like for a high performance DB rust wou

Aw man, slippers are the best part of winter! Maybe you just haven't had nice ones. In addition to the usual furry/fuzzy slippers most people think of, I like to mix it up with "house shoes" (i.e.: shoes but ones that ne

It's kind of interesting to me that PagerDuty's stock is down 7% right now. If I'm remembering right, when Google and Meta, and maybe some of the others, announced layoffs their stocks actually went up , didn't it? Why

Is it actually leaking the prompt, or just hallucinating an answer of the sort you'd expect for a prompt like that?

Very cool! I just did some car shopping and compiled a spreadsheet of the various dimensions of the cars we were considering. This would have been a perfect tool for us. It's kind of hard to really get a sense of the numbers otherwise.

What's the motivation for the name? I get "numbat" to "numerical", but not immediately seeing any connection for bumblebee. Maybe a more serious question: is anyone using Elixir ML in production? I'm absolutely

Ambitious! I've always been curious about the trade-off between "second-system syndrome" and "learning from experience". Do people have examples of rewrites that went well and those that didn't? I can think of

Wow! That looks pretty amazing. Makes we wish I used both a lisp and emacs... Does anyone know if there is anything similar that works for non-lispy languages (using syntax like do/end, {}, etc?) and in VSCode?

I'm very interested in this federated renaissance happening, but having trouble understanding how all the pieces fit together. Is there a good overview I can read? I think ActivityPub is the (a?) protocol, and Mastodon is one particula

Aw, I get that this is just showing off use cases for the new inline else feature, but from the title I was hoping it had more to do with this issue[0]. Having only used Zig enough for an Advent of Code, interfaces via a mechanism akin to r

And so the grand experiment begins. I feel bad for the folks losing their job because that always sucks, and I hope there's a decent severance package. Now we'll see what happens to Twitter... I hardly use it, so if it implodes it

I got a cold call from them at my previous job, which was enough to make me write off using it, as a tech lead and senior in the org who could have gotten us all onboard. Especially since our tool at the time was failing us. That said, at m

Yeah, I should benchmark streams. In my experience streams are rarely faster, though, and are instead something you should reach for if 1) you can't fit the file in memory or 2) you might stop the enumeration early. Regarding GenServer

This is great! Just pushed up a commit that uses it and updated the benchmarks[0]. I'm seeing a 1.6X - 2X improvement in overall performance. Not bad for a drop-in replacement. And since it's based on serde, I trust it, and I feel

Yep, Elixir 1.14, OTP 25. I set the log level to warn so Phoenix isn't logging anything that I see. Do you think that still impacts performance? I thought Logger compiled out log calls below the level threshold. Good call on running as

It's a shame, too, because until that point (when I was still just following the "getting started" docs and doing the first half of the app, which loads a CSV and parses it and stuff), I was actually really enjoying it! The t

Oh, hey, didn't expect to see this here. Thanks for submitting! I tried a few days ago but didn't really get any traction.[0] Since I submitted it, though, I posted it to /r/rust and got a lot of feedback. At the time, r
