uv has both a uv-specific implementation, and support for standard PEP 751 lockfiles

by nickelpro 1y ago
Yes, it's faster and better than pyenv, but the mechanism it's using (virtual environments) is not a uv invention. uv does the Python ecosystem better than any other tool, but it's still the standard Python ecosystem as defin

by nickelpro 1y ago
uv is purely a performance improvement, it changes nothing about the mechanics of Python environment management or packaging. The improvements came from lots of work from the entire python build system ecosystem and consensus building.

This post isn't popular, it has already fallen off the HN frontpage never to be seen again in any context. It did not and will never break into any sort of traditional media. Not a single Microsoft C-suite exec, or anyone within spitti

Microsoft has north of 100k SWEs working for them, the idea that corporate management could be personally responsible for the decisions of every single one is absurd.

I don't have a point beyond thinking that this is "Microsoft", the corporate entity, making a strategic decision is wrong. This is Aditya, the random software engineer with 5 years of experience making a decision. How you rec

This is not a PR problem, no one cares about this. It's barely a thing on HN, and not something any traditional media cares about.

Flying in the face of convention for no apparent reason. Use the normal FHS/XDG directories, makes everything easier. `/usr/local` for system level, non-managed packages `~/.local` for user level, non-managed packages `&

Of course not, but I don't rely on the extended file attributes for anything important such that they need to be replicated during copies
102.
by nickelpro 2y ago
I actively do not want this in a file copy utility, relying on extended file attributes is a massive anti-pattern. If you care about time stamps, they go in the file format itself. If you care about permissions, those belong in the provisio

That's objectively worse, there's no way to know what "blue" means in such a context, there are many blues. "I want things to be worse" is not a compelling argument. Letting developers describe the needs of the

You could do it in 3nm (or any modern, in-demand node) on 300mm wafers. You could not do it in an ancient node where there's no commercial demand, on 200mm wafers the industry is slowly but surely superseding. These old nodes exist bec

I don't think I would have minded working with you and your workflow! There's nothing bad about CL interactive development when used responsibly (and this extends to CL generally, nothing wrong with macros when used responsibly

We can be more precise, I'm talking about declarative build systems and dependency tracking, project-local builds, tight IDE integration with automatic test suite detection, debug adapters, and language servers. Those are the kinds of

Ya, this is the core of the disagreement that I would run into with the old school lispers. I see it, I do, my third eye is open. I get the entire flow that the interactive development environment brings to the table and how it is infinite

by nickelpro 2y ago
It's ~$20k to get on an MPW, for 65 you can double that. If you're talking about how much it takes to build the fab: infinity dollars, nobody builds new fabs in these nodes anymore. Skywater is barely keeping its head above water

by nickelpro 2y ago
The Sky130 IO pads can't go faster than 33Mhz (at least the ones in the open source PDK), and the OpenLane flow isn't yet timing driven, so anything internal isn't going to break more than 100Mhz. These aren't fast chips

I despise SLIME. It made perfect sense in 2003 and was way ahead of the game compared to every other language for decades, but today we have the language server protocol and every effort should be made to support that instead. Anecdotally,

I could very well be unlucky, and my experience is mostly with academics (not much industry usage of CL anymore). But if I had a nickel for everytime I got emailed a core file I would not have had to be working in academia.

Yes, of course, that's why I brought up Fukamachi's work to point out that things can be better. It is possible to forego the mechanisms of interactive-development that intersect with image-based development, but that requires l

Image-based development is a dead end. Whatever one's feelings are about interactive development, any system that relies on information that was typed into a REPL three-months ago and is now only stored in the binary state of that REPL

There are certainly differences in medium. Lego sculptures and interpretive dance are different things. But within a medium? Genre? The composition of the expression? There are no real lines, only imagined ones. What is the difference betwe

For Go, net/http is not something you should expose to the public internet, there's no secret sauce in there. It will just die to the first person to hit it with a slowloris or other DOS attack. Same with the common C++ options li

I would accept that medium can be well defined. We can say an oil painting is not a macaroni sculpture with a high degree of certainty. Within the medium though, no I don't think you can make such defining lines in genre , in catego
