That's a great point, it really is all about tradeoffs. In my use case there is strong motivation to keep data creation times low, so writing out multiple datasets comes at a product/opportunity cost moreso than a storage cost. Th

This is a bit off-topic but I'm interested in the same space you are in. There seems to be an inherent pull between large chunks (great for visualising large extents and larger queries) vs smaller chunks for point-based or timeseries q

Some books are especially suited for multiple passes. Every time I reread a Discworld novel, I find new jokes or references that I had missed earlier.

Touching on your lack of comment on the paint job, I have seen one instrument (a guitar) painted with a delightfully kitsch Elvis portrait. It was a gift to a musician by his lover, but it affected the tone of his guitar so much. They had t

I use ChatGPT sometimes outside of work too, for hobby projects. I'm finding it much less useful for frontend work, partially because it's not a domain that I'm as familiar with and so the shortfalls in the code don't im

I try to use it as often as possible as a rubber duck. It feels sort of like pair programming with someone who has a pretty good idea of how most common libraries work, but where the details are fuzzy and a bit outdated. The HR team uses it

I have personally found the rubber-ducking to be really helpful, especially for more exploratory work. I find myself typing "So if I understand correctly, the code does this this and this because of this" and usually get some help

It's much more noticeable when running locally. Going from something like black + pylint + mypy running in a pre-commit hook to black + ruff + mypy has been wonderful for me. It lets me actually set up another terminal session to run r

I think scanning receipts (which still requires manual effort) or parsing bank SMSes locally could work

Does that work now? I seem to remember having to use `tags: list[str] = Field(default_factory=list)` a lot

That was very informative - it certainly does not give me the motivation to build my own billing system, but it does shed light on the scope of the task. Side note: Is "I don't want to write/use a billing system" a compe

When it comes to generating diagrams that look nice from just about any diagram scripting language, I tend to go to "Kroki!". Hopefully they'll do some work to support D2 as well, although going from D2 -> PlantUML is some

There must be some diffusion/refraction from all of the atmospheric particles as well, right? I don't think you'd be able to see it as a bright rectangular object so much as a bright fuzzy blob in the sky.

Here is another excellent breakdown by Joshua Comeau, who is my go-to for all things CSS-related. He goes over the practical cases where you do want to mix and match units, how browser zooming affects accessibility, etc. https://

I 100% agree - I don't think that I would ever reach for a PoW blockchain to solve this problem, but it has certainly generated some interesting discussion

Is the demo site still supposed to be up? I see > TypeError: path must be absolute or specify root to res.sendFile when I try to visit it.

cottenio is the author in this case. If there is the potential of internal employees being malicious, then maybe trust isn't guaranteed.

I think that you've hit the nail on the head with trust. I have felt most productive in small teams with a lot of autonomy and self-regulation. The most interesting problem to me is how to establish that trust in the first place; espec

The sound of "gigadollar" really tickles my fancy. Is a penny one centidollar or ten millidollars?

I didn't think it would work for me, but I have turned into a daily user of http://lofi.limo/ . The number of tracks isn't too high, but I love the somewhat goofy interludes and the ephemeral chat interactions.

I've been explicitly told on a phone interview that "we really wouldn't be considering someone of your experience without the referral". Nailing the technical interview and getting the job felt amazing, but that referral

Yes, in this case that is correct. It is common to play the same note on two different guitar strings in order to tune them together.

This has been my experience as well, as someone who added a pre-commit hook (black and mypy) to a repo in lieu of adding it to CI (it was a while ago). I came back to the team a year later to find that everyone had simply disabled the hook,

Thank you for sharing such an incredible story - I would never have expected to read something so entertaining in the comments of a post about mouse splenectomies.

Thank you everyone for the _really_ helpful responses! It is immediately apparent to me that my interaction with vim has been heavily informed and limited by my preconceptions and previous text editing experiences. Time to start engaging wi
