This is very cool. I've been blown away from my dabbling with these text-to-image models, but I love the steps here to help it generate more what you're envisioning. I'd love to follow this process to generate several that I

This is really cool. We use Elixir at work, but we mostly use it in a "traditional web app" (i.e. non-Elixir) way, of Docker containers deployed to independent AWS instances. So I'm always intrigued by some of the more BEAM-s

I was a RoR developer for 5 years and have now worked on Phoenix apps for about 6 years. The survey results have certainly gotta be at least a little selection bias, combined with Rails apps being on average older (and therefore more "

Could something like this - running in essentially a totally sandboxed environment, like webassembly - be Zig's sweet spot? I think of Zig as a very developer friendly, powerful, fast, fun, low level language, without the strict safety

I'm more of an "open borders libertarian" so by all means let everyone come in, but this here is a silly argument. If an immigrant comes, they're either going to get a job, or not get a job. From the point of view of som

I'm sort of surprised at the positive tone here. Sure, it's nice for non-technical people to enumerate a lot of nice to haves, but just asserting something doesn't make it true or possible. As one example, making "core m

I think you're referring to the age of the universe here? But due to inflation, although the universe is 13 billion years old, the observable universe is quite a bit bigger than that (i.e. we can see stars much further than 13 billion

The purging is a scan with `next()` and a `lookup()` for each item. Since the logic is a simple `<` comparison, could this be done with a single `match_delete` instead? (Unfortunately, ETS match specifications are quite wonky, so without

Great! Love the new Astronaut prompt. I dabbled with starship.rs, and really liked the prompt, but ultimately didn't want to deal with an extra moving part in my terminal setup. I'm so happy that some of it is available in stock f

One thing I don't understand is the uninhabitable zone around Chernobyl is not that big, and the U.S. has plenty of space. And electricity can be transmitted decently far, right? So... is it unreasonable to have lots of fairly low-re

Sorry, offtopic, but what do you mean by "metaverse client"? I've seen you mention this in a couple comments now and I'm intrigued. I don't imagine you mean something to do with Facebook, right?

Oh wow, what a great resource. I was surprised to learn recently that I actually really like power metal. Will have to check out these bands! I'm still a bit confused how this counts as "metal", though. I think I mostly assoc

I'm getting somewhat interested in this topic. How did you know about this trial? I'm curious what good news sources are to follow so I can see when the results are out.

I was trying to be clever with my metaphor, but since a lot of people seemed to miss my point, I'll spell it out. An old person's glasses and walker don't make their body feel worse. They're responses to an underlying

This is a good overview on ADTs and how to write them in your typespecs. Unfortunately, it doesn't dive into how exactly they interact with dialyzer, which in my experience is not perfect. Since dialyzer does "success typing"

Wow, another neat Cloudflare release. Is there some sort of "innovation week" type thing going on right now? One question that the example given raises for me, is how to manage that function I see there in a robust, "proper s

Wow, this looks potentially very interesting. Since this is sort of fresh in my mind from the recent Fly post about it: * How exactly is the read replication implemented? Is it using litestream behind the scenes to stream the WAL somewhere?
712.
by losvedir 4y ago
It says "continuous" but I don't really see how it is. Or, at least, I get that the backin-up is continuous, since litestream is watching the WAL. But in the example there, isn't `restore` called manually to pick up the

Heh, well that's one way to work around the inane Twitter character limit...! My personal Musk dream is that he'll abolish that. If I never have to see tweets of pictures of text or tweets ending in `/n` again, it will be too

I totally believe in the value of being in nature. It's hard to go for a walk surrounded by trees and chirping birds and not come away happier and refreshed, in my experience. But I'm more skeptical about this in the article: >

I've been pretty impressed with parquet lately. One thing I've missed is a way to group tables. Is there a standard for that? While parquet is generally column oriented it has support for metadata about tables of multiple columns.

I've been thinking about this lately at work, where we do a bunch of stuff with a pile of python scripts built around csv files and pandas. This post prompted me to give pyarrow a spin and WOW did it load the CSVs fast compared to what
