   I'm a huge fan of Tailscale and the team I work with uses it daily, for free, to connect to our servers and each other's computers. Thanks!

   Then it would be fair to say ts-node is a typescript runtime, while node is a javascript runtime.

   No, using flakes still requires enabling the “experimental feature”. The difference in 2.4 is that you no longer need to use a prerelease version of Nix to have the experimental feature available.

   I have been using mold every day for almost a year, and it has dramatically improved my quality of life by decreasing link times on the Rust project I work on from approximately 10 seconds to less than one second. This makes a big differenc

   Hooray, custom profiles are now stable! This helps avoid rebuilds when toggling LTO and changing optimization levels.

   I hope that one day the default struct field values RFC will be reconsidered: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1806 . This would allow a syntax more familiar to users of JavaScript, where fields with the

   I love podman. When you write a file to a volume from a container, the user that spawned the container is the owner. This is exactly what you expect, but with docker, everything is written as root. After many years, this has not been fixed:

    ts-rs did not exist at the time. Perhaps if it did, we would have chosen differently. Generating types with “cargo test” feels very hacky though.

    I should add that we wrote a crate called pinwheel that uses futures-signals for fine-grained reactivity, uses the builder pattern to avoid macros entirely, and supports server rendering: https://github.com/tangramdotdev&#x2

    We chose to use Rust instead of TypeScript for the front end of https://github.com/tangramdotdev/tangram . This allows us to: * Share code with our server written in Rust. * Avoid keeping types in TypeScript in sync wit

    Really impressive to see Tailscale employees recommending free alternatives to their own service!

    We definitely will be interested in adding converters to/from other formats.

    Thanks for the kind comment. We spent a lot of time trying to make the website feel hacker friendly, so programmers know that tangram is not made only for someone with a PhD.

    Unfortunately, tangram does not help here, it just adds yet another format to the list. The reason it needs its own format is because .tangram files include all the model reporting information that shows up in the web application.

    Yes! What we have in mind is this: `tangram train --file data.csv --target price --date date` This would predict the "price" column, using the date in the "date" column. Internally, we can generate features from the date

    You're right, CLI vs RStudio or IPython is not a big improvement. The real benefit here is that you can use your model from Go, JavaScript, Ruby, and other languages without having to include the Python or R ecosystems in your tech sta

    Thanks! At the moment, we do not have any ability to convert to/from scikit, but this is definitely something we would like to consider in the future. This would give users of scikit the ability to make predictions in production from t

    There are a lot of similarities with vowpal-wabbit. The biggest difference is that tangram has libraries for a lot of popular languages (js, go, ruby, elixir, etc.), and has a web application for learning about your model and monitoring it

    Hi HN! We are Isabella and David, and we're excited to share Tangram, our attempt to make ML easy for programmers who are not experts. With Tangram, you train a model from a CSV file on the command line, use your model from one of many

    Are you considering OLED as well? The Dell XPS has that as an option and it is a serious draw, especially for coders who stare at a mostly-black screen all day.
