Frankly, that usually comes from orgs that deal with the real world. 50k generic requests per day is nothing. 50k orders per day for a small e-commerce company can be pretty overwhelming. It’s becoming laughable when people use it to boast

When I see rps in development context, I immediately know it is requests per second. x/s on the other hand… 3x/s. kx/s looks like a physics formula to me. Some spring action? K is for coefficient, x is displacement.

> writing “90 kBq” is a lot more convenient than “ninety thousand requests per second” and “90,000 requests/s” I once made a joke during the talk that MongoDB is better than Postgres in two ways, and one of those ways is that it’s f

In my experience, your Case 2 plays out a bit differently. "Just inherit and go" and in many cases you end up with more lines of code in total than doing the same thing in my own function with some kind of helper. Even in the de

Class-based views were a problem when they were introduced in Django, and they’re still a problem. Especially for the so-called AI-ready framework. Because of indirection, you either have to go read all the basic classes, or read documentat

Remember Sonnet 3.5 and 3.7? They were happy to throw abstraction on top of abstraction on top of abstraction. Still a lot of people have “do not over-engineer, do not design for the future” and similar stuff in their CLAUDE.md files. So I

Was there a change in Claude Code system prompt at that time that nudges Claude into simplistic thinking? Here is a gist that tries to patch the system prompt to make Claude behave better https://gist.github.com/roman01la&#x

Long way ahead still: > Given its key importance for the EU's competitiveness, the Commission is calling on the European Parliament and the Council to reach an agreement on the EU Inc. proposal by the end of 2026.

Try asking it for some curves that go in this or that direction. CW, CCW, curves to the left, to the right, etc. Produces a bunch of crap and it’s really hard to convince it that something needs to be changed. “Yep, I looked at the screensh

When it’s a simple single-line query: sure. When they’re 30 lines apart, because it’s a function that builds a complex query with joins and filters based on some function arguments: not easy. I don’t really understand how .pyi will give me

Seeing a new library in 2026 that uses Django-style filter syntax is really surprising. With SQLAlchemy approach I can easily find all usages of a particular column everywhere. .filter(Folder.user_id == user_id) Versus .filte

Starts of sentences are not capitalized, which makes it a bit harder to read. English language prescribes capitalization after a period.

Well, when I’m driving in Kyiv, and there is an air raid alert, usually my car navigation starts to derp, and after a few minutes it thinks that it’s suddenly in Lima, Peru. Not that I mind too much, I know how to get around without navigat

Maybe they’ve left a lot of clearly AI-generated comments. Or even wrote the text of the reply with AI. It’s usually quite easy to tell.

Zig has not surpassed 1.0 and explicitly strives to remove features, which Java and Rust don’t do anymore. That’s why it feels different.

Java and Rust have surpassed 1.0 version a long time ago, so they don’t remove features left and right on each feature release. Not that it’s a bad thing. Python removes stuff, and it takes time to upgrade to new versions.

What standard does reliably work to drive 8K at 60 Hz and how expensive cables are? How far away do you sit from it? Does it sit on top of your desk? What do you put on all this space, how do you handle it? I don’t think you’re maximizing o

You will need dictionaries with millions of tokens, which will make models much larger. Also, any word that has too low frequency to appear in the dictionary is now completely unknown to your model.

More updates means more changes and more instability. I have never seen dacite, but it’s pretty easy for a small library to just be complete. If it’s complete, why the need for constant changes?

What’s the story here, can anyone enlighten me? How can they make money being a Python library? I can stretch my imagination about Astral monetizing their tools, but this one is too difficult
