Nice! This is a little like a one-off High Throughput Computing. Could be useful for both media processing, and also I imagine some stuff with large data sets as well. A long time ago I contributed to HTCondor, which permits long-running pr

Awesome! Very cool approach -- I've written a few little scripts that do something similar in fact in terms of serializing the DOM. Feedback: We are actually working on a SaaS launch right now of a pretty bog-standard app. I was actual

Right, crowdsourced moderation works for badly done spam, poorly coded bots, etc. It does nothing for pseudo-science, "self-interested proselytizers" or PR teams. I think there's a mentality that if we just "crowdsource&

I mean it's just a tax the business has to pay to the government, calculated based on products sold. Any business could conceivably do something similar with any tax if they wanted, e.g. add a "XYZ fee" that's added at t

Gotcha, yeah not who were replying too, but I read/skimmed most of your post first thinking was a new DBMS specifically for machine learning (especially given the name), which is a lot less interesting to me and I was about to close th

I took this as more as poking fun at Calvin's common theme of superficially imitating "high art", opaque writing styles, and so on, in a very self-aware or cynical way, as a grift, since that's just what Calvin always do

Gotcha! Well, I might feel okay then using these for placeholder, but not for anything serious... while I wait for an Inkscape-integrated clipart revival :)

I was hoping this was a resuscitation of Open Clip Art. I used to use it so much with Inkscape -- rarely I'd use anything as is, but it was great to have a bunch of different shapes at my finger-tips for tracing, rapid prototyping of

See, preferring BSD userland would be a rationale I would at least understand, but I didn't find that motivation in the documentation -- at least what I read of it. Instead I just saw a lot of criticisms of user experience and developm

Sincere question: Why FreeBSD? I'm not against the choice, and I can imagine some valid reasons to choose it, but in the helloSystem docs I read so far I only found some common criticisms of desktop Linux UI (bloated, unfriendly, disor

Agreed, it definitely is limited. Also the admin panel is limited too, and although it's very extendable, the admin extension API is kind of clunky and inconsistent at times. Yeah FastAPI looks great! I've used Sanic in the past a

Maybe I wasn't clear -- What I meant to say is that the curriculum barely covered <a> tags, but instead started just with JS DOM manipulation, which meant students were using document.location on click events since they weren&#x2

This is just a personal preference. I would say the same about Python / Django: You get extensible login/signup/password-reset/etc authentication & user-permissions management, and even an admin interface with user g

Yup, and often those tempting bulk discounts, if calculated, only end up saving a few cents or a dollar or something, so the trade off becomes -- Do you want to be payed 50 cents to store extra supplies at your house? Sometimes that's

Ahahah, well for at least a year now they had dropped the whole box filling aspects, which made it more or less identical to shopping for anything else. Honestly the only difference then is how it was shipped and what items were available.

I guess it truly does come down to preference and perception, as looking over that link you provided I actually had the opposite reaction! I prefer the DOM API in each example, save for examples that are clearly out of date to support old v

Personally, I find it miles behind the modern native DOM API, which is what I prefer now, but I guess to each their own! (And I'm not even against jQuery, I used it extensively mid-2000s-2010s, including on fairly large SPAs, and even

Yes, and the main historical reasons people used jQuery was for smoothing over browser discrepancies and using CSS selectors in JS, but with IE9 we have `querySelectorAll` which made what was jQuery's biggest selling point for many, s

I'm actually a little foggy on this -- is this completely unrelated to the free software MusE DAW ( https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse ), that also includes a sheet music editor as well? I'm happy to see th

Is there no way to do this without a physical plug? I think there's a way to make dummy X.org display devices without any extra physical hardware -- I've definitely done similar stuff when setting up headless automated E2E testin

Yeah, even with large-ish projects, just by refactoring some of your state manipulation into separate libraries that you manually hook into your top-level components, you can get by quite fine without a whiff of Redux. That said, this is a

That's not true. Cafes that cater to lonely straight men or misogynistic businessmen exist worldwide. Just one example: All the different "café con piernas" cafes in Chile, which are very similar to Japanese maid cafes.
