The search engine is one of my most visited websites daily, and it's the gateway to other websites. It makes perfect sense to pay for it if the quality is superior to its alternatives, which I find to be true. If you haven't alrea

It does because you're still responsible for managing the lifetimes, even if you don't explicitly call malloc/free. Automatic memory management is reference counting and GC.

The joke misses the mark because Lisp code usually coalesces all the parentheses in the same line at the end of the block. It does make sense for Ruby, though.

It surprises me how many people here can be extremely critical of Firefox/Mozilla and claim that Chrome-based browsers are better when they're _so much worse_. I'm not saying that Mozilla is infallible - they're definite

If you link to a private repository, your GitHub profile can still be seen, which violates anonymity.

Do you mean the `help()` function in the REPL? I agree that it's very useful, but I don't see it used well within text editors (e.g. neovim hover on pyright doesn't show the full help text). I'd also like to add that in

Do you have experience with it in production? Is it a drop-in replacement with respect to existing pyright configuration?

They fulfil different roles. pydantic models would be an alternative to dataclasses, attrs or data-centric classes in general. TypedDict is used when you're stuck with dicts and can't convert them to a specific class.

Python has also seen a sizable movement towards using types as part of the design, such as Typer, FastAPI and Pydantic. Existing mainstream libraries are also slowly adopting types, such as pandas and numpy (including `numpy.typing`). For t

Isn't Marginalia playing a completely different game from Kagi? AFAIK, Marginalia isn't trying to be a general-purpose search engine. PS: Lovely username =)

LLMs are unable to say that they don't know something. They just generate nonsense.

FWIW, this is a very US-centric view. In the UK, you will usually do an MSc + PhD in 4.5 years: 1 year for an MSc and 3.5 for a PhD. You can double that time if you want to do it part-time, in which case you can continue working.

This is available for Rust. It might be for other languages. You can show the types as hints in the editor, or you can hover the variables to see the types. The latter is available for many languages, including Python and Go.

I stand corrected. I was familiar with the first option, which coupled the dependencies with the platform, whereas I wanted a CUDA version on Linux and a Metal version on macOS. However, this works perfectly with Poetry 1.8 and Pytorch 2.2.

I don't think PDM solves that directly. What I do is have different lock files for different platforms (e.g. Linux/CUDA and macOS/Metal), but pyproject.toml lists only "torch".

How are you installing Pytorch with CUDA with Poetry? I stopped using Poetry because it wouldn't automatically get the CUDA version; instead, it would install the CPU version. I migrated to PDM, which does the right thing.

They said high_er_. It's not controversial to think that C++ and Rust are higher-level than C.

Using external libraries is important because it lets you focus on what's important for your project. C++'s lack of a proper package manager means we're all reinventing the wheel because adding dependencies is non-trivial. Ca

Regarding the latter group, are you talking about mental illnesses self-diagnosis or something like that? Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm especially confused about "some kind of protected status".

For the vast majority of OSS projects, you're much better off using Git and GitHub in terms of drawing attention and attracting contributors.
