I remember years and years ago getting a Raspberry Pi from my father. We were going to use it for something or other, but that plan fell through, and I ended up using it to "deploy" my first programming project when I was around 1

Oh my god, Salt Lake City! I never see anything here, and the first thing I click on today no less... unfortunately I'm not a Ruby programmer but I'm happy to see that some stuff is happening here.

It at least predates 2012, since the same text is seen on the this page's first archive on archive.org.

I agree. There's also something to be said in it being another level of abstraction, only linguistic instead of technical, but failing to understand that they are "random" is a recipe for disaster.

To be fair, DNA sequencing was very hyped up (although not nearly as much as AI). The HGP finished two years ahead of schedule, which is sort of unheard of for something in it's domain, and was mainly a result of massive public interes

I actually hear about this fairly often. In quite a few of my college classes, there's a large focus on AI (even outside the computer science department). I find it surprising the amount of non-technical people who don't even thin

At least it happened after I did my work for the day... jfc!

Having "NA" being treated as nil/null/None by default seems like it would cause the Namibia problem!

Yes, that was what I was referring to, although I thought the reason of staying at 0.y.z was more of a cultural one. v0, at least to me, implies that the API may change arbitrarily and quickly, but makes no assertions about the actual versi

I will say that this doesn't seem to be how semver is used in the wild, which I would argue is more important. I personally didn't know about this rule. Tons of Rust projects follow semver don't follow it either, and just sta

Really glad to see we're getting a native PEM API.

As far as I know, PyPy doesn't support all CPython extensions, so pure Python code will probably (very likely) run fine but for other things most bets are off. I believe PyPy also only supports up to 3.11?

True! I didn't think of it that way ;-)

I didn't read it as this, what signs do you see?

Interesting. I’ve never been to Poland and yet Polish the default second option in a ton of places for me. No clue why.

Strange how someone in a cave with no internet can push 10,000 bugs a day.

This is a seriously fun tool. Bravo!

I've been wondering about the Polish thing. On the screenshot at the top of the page, it reads "Translate Selection to Polish," and I initially thought this might just be something gleaned from the author's locale, but t

I'm mildly allergic to bananas, but I don't think the number of people allergic to bananas is "sizable."

This is fantastic news! Long COVID is awful, so I'm glad to see that she's recovering, if only incrementally.

It might not be; I did a couple of GitHub searches in their organization for strings on their homepage, and found no matches.

That's fantastic! I may very well bring this up at our next all hands, since we recently just wrote a ton of documentation for our modeling code.

by olivia-banks 7mo ago
This is something that I've been thinking about off and on, so it's neat to know there's an off-the-shelf solution. Is there an option to just get notified that some docs are out of date? I'd rather write the documentati

I assume this might be changing. Anecdotally, from what I've read here, I think we're starting to see headless browsers driven by LLMs for the purposes of scraping (to get around some of the content blocks we're seeing). Perh

I had no idea Yisou was still around, or did somebody buy them? I'm not as up to date on Chinese tech as I should be.

I absolutely love this. Reminds me of 2015's Soma, if only in foundation.

I don't think a single spam email has ever crossed into my Fastmail inbox. Granted, every service I sign up for gets it's own masked email. But while the @fastmail.nl email that I chuck on my website gets a fair amount of spam, it
