To put numbers on this, you can buy a C rated fridge freezer in the UK which uses 176 kWh of energy per annum. That's an average power consumption of 20W. But electric heaters are say 1200W or 2000W.

So, the older DeepSeek-V3 model weights are sadly not permissively licensed. But the recent DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1 have MIT licensed weights.

Ahah! I worked on a project which used dotnet format in a commit hook. That was a frustrating experience, trying to rebase code. (Unlike most formatters which are instant, dotnet format takes at least half a minute, because it performs a bu

Thanks for linking this. I wasn't surprised Microsoft made their AI auto completion proprietary (they did similar for C# in VSCode). But it grated me that semantic highlighting wasn't open source.

What about ruff + pyright? From a skim it seems like a lot of the missing features would be covered by a type checker? (Pyright isn't written in Rust, but adequate performance is still a design goal)

We tend to breed specialised sheep for wool, and specialised sheep for meat. Same thing with different animals. Besides, why the analogy? We’re talking app stores. It's not apparent why we need a joint supply analogy.

This almost got me too, but you missed GP’s point. See their next paragraph beginning “Or”. (It's about double standards for individual versus corporate copyright infringement.)

OP puts up a straw man that criminal harassment is any trivial slight in the eye of the alleged victim. However, for an instance of harassment to be criminal harassment, the perpetrator must [1(b)] know their behaviour is harassment. Moreve

This comment is being deservedly downvoted. It's misinformation. Here's the statutory threshold for harassment: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/40/section/1

Nah, pip is still brittle here because it uses one package resolution context to install all your global tools. So if there is a dependency clash you are out of luck. So that's why pipx was required, or now, UV.

Very nice work. But could you please explain why counting digits quickly (or even slowly) is useful for a JSON serializer? This is lower level than I'm used to working. Is this so you can alloc the right amount of memory, or somethin

A surprisingly detailed writeup, nice. But what's the misleading anecdote from Raymond Chen? The claim piqued my interest but I didn't catch that part.

No, what you describe is not better. Quite the opposite. First, USB PD is capable of much higher wattages than what SuperVOOC artificially caps USB PD to. Second, proprietary charging standards are not compliant with the USB specification,

This hopefully means the end to standards-violating nonsense like SuperVOOC? Originally SuperVOOC wasn't USB-PD compatible at all. Now, AIUI, SuperVOOC is partly USB-PD compatible, but only to lower wattages.

Reading an indeterminate value is its own undefined behaviour. See the second bottom paragraph on page 492: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf

I like the mediocrity of the example they headlined: the user asks for unit tests. Copilot writes only two test cases, so not exactly great coverage. Plus, the test cases uses python's unittest, which isn't as slick as pytest.

Thanks for the correction and sorry for the mistake. I skimmed the changes but apparently not very well.

Whilst this is true, it looks like OpenWRT fixed the hash truncation but not the command injection. I hope they're planning on fixing the command injection. As the blog post says, the created images are signed. Even without the signing

Thank you, I was wondering about the chemistry of this. When they say to avoid grapefruit juice, it's not because of something innocuous like indigestion. But until recently that had been my assumption.

Sounds sensible. It's important to set boundaries, and enjoy time off. For me Advent of Code is a slippery slope. The difficulty ramps up so at first it's easy, then it's rewardingly difficult. But then before I know it, it t

I would love it if the first star of the day was required, but the second was a bonus. I love Advent of Code, but I don't have the time to get 50 stars.

Yeah, you'd definitely want baby jumbo frames if you live in the UK. ISPs here almost universally use PPP.
