Why the for loop instead of mapping the enumerate iterator into Block::new and collect::Vec?

You complain about not having control of how the `filter` works under the hood but are happy to give the language control over memory management. How much abstraction is too much abstraction? Where do you draw the line?

Bolsonaro is a symptom of the same disease as Trump. At least he's ineligible until 2030. Who would have thought that Brazil would have stronger democratic institutions?

Gleam looks like a really nice language that I haven't had a place to use yet. Does anyone have experience using it as a replacement/alternative for TypeScript for (e.g.) CLI tools?

I've never seen that in practice, but a maid working 10 hours per day 5/6 days per week was very common.

I haven't checked OlmOCR, but in my experience, Tesseract is awful for scientific papers. The structure is mangled, formulas are completely rubbish, tables are nearly useless, etc. I also tried Docling (which I believe is LLM-based), w

Seconded. I don't think I learned much from the book, but it helped make my thought process more structured and methodical. I had a friend recently start as a developer, and I strongly recommended this to them. I believe Hillel Wayne g

Not every "user-hostile" change listed was a net negative for users. For example, the page strongly opposes XUL deprecation, but that was a necessary change for e10s, which benefitted users in both performance and security.

The Rust version (4.0.0) has 73k lines of Rust, builds in 1m34s, and the binary is 4.3 MB. The C++ version (3.7.1) has 55k lines of C++, builds in 1m8s, and the binary is 2.4 MB. Both were built with CMake with default settings on a MacBook

The main drawback is that I'm used to all the goodness that comes by default and have to get used to how primitive Bash is when I'm forced to use it. I also prefer fish's scripting syntax (and built-in utilities) over bash, a

What happens when a file was previously under MIT, the license changes, and a new change is made? Do I need to look at the git blame to find which parts I can use as MIT?

Add "dynamic language" in this day and age where everyone thinks static languages are cool again.

That's a lot of different tools for something that could simply be a statically defined type with compile-time checking.

This is true. If I'm choosing a package to use, and among the options, there's one with annotations and one without, I'll use the one with annotations unless there's a glaring feature missing. A recent example was moving

`match/case` looks absolutely fine to me. What's the problem? `try/except` is definitely weird, though.

No excuse for the date, but I get the 12/24 hour clock. 12h feels more natural when spoken. Where I'm from, we speak in 12h but always write down 24h. You'll see "20:00" written down, but you'll say "8 in

The API is pretty nice and easy to get started, but I couldn't get good results with parsing scientific paper PDFs, unfortunately (including OCR). Are there plans to use other backends? Docling works alright, and LLMs like Gemini Flash

Does it really matter when they're gating their most powerful models with heavy limits on Plus users? You can barely use o3-mini-high for a couple of hours without getting limited for literal days.

Recent advancements have been mostly about scaling test-time compute, which is much more expensive for companies than the previous paradigm. It makes sense that they'd re-evaluate how to price their services.

IIUC, the very first option (designated initialisers with custom structs per function) is how Zig does it, and it seems to work well enough there. It's verbose, so I wouldn't use it for everything, but it doesn't seem all tha
