Blame the obama CAFE regulations that accounted for wheelbase and car volume, giving manufacturers lower fuel economy standards for larger cars. Then the CAFE standards that hold trucks/SUVs to a lower standard. The economically effic

I have been working on Buckaroo - my table display library for dataframes in notebook environments. Buckaroo adds table and analytics features like histograms, summary stats, sorting, and search to every dataframe. Recently I have been work

What's the story for JS. I see that there is a javascript directory, but it only mentions nodejs. I don't see an npm package. So does this work in web browsers?

I customized grep-find on my setup. I have a shell script so that it does the following (in typescript-mode) first search ts, tsx, js, jsx files in the current project. Exclude .git, node_modules... then search node_modules with the ts..

If anyone has an open source project and wants a review of their README and docs, please get in touch. I enjoy providing this type of feedback, and I think every project can benefit from it.

This comes up in testing a lot. I want testing data included in test source files to look tabular. I want it to be indented such that I can spot order of magnitude differences.

I have heard multiple people claim that macros are incompatible with strong or static typing and I don't see why. If there were a lisp with optional static typing like typescript, it would seem to me to be completely possible to write

That would be a reasonable stance if the difference were in incubating a new project vs excluding functionality from blessing because it interfaces with non free software. The functionality I'm talking about is excluded because of the

Well the linking into GCC was a C code issue. For emacs, there is a large collection of elisp that is shipped with the official package. Preventing worthy enhancements of that core package solely in the name of a distorted view of freedom

This is due to Richard Stalllman. He thinks that integrating "non-free" alternatives when free alternatives don't yet exist slows down free software development. Not just free as in freedom alternatives, not just free as in

The giant vac truck generally is for safe digging around other unknown utilities. Sometimes this is combined with a water jet that loosens soil, and the vac sucks up the soil and water. If they wanted to just drain an excavation, they woul

So, this is a jupyter/anywidget project. I think OpenAPI can work, but it's a bit of grafting I think. Further, I develop the frontend visualization library separately from the python code. It is much more natural to write types

I have a project that has a python backend and react typescript frontend. Both are typed. How do you all handle resolving types between two systems like that. Ideally I'd like to be able to write types in typescript, and write pytho

FWIW I didn't choose the docker or nextjs stack. Sometimes you have clients or work at a job that makes tech stack choices you don't agree with.

BEV are not a serious climate solution unless you are talking about ebikes. BEV also contribute a load of pollution to waterways via tire wear. ebikes are cheaper to purchase and make a significant change.

An e-bike is one of the few places where DRM is actually attractive. I don't know the state of DRM on batteries, but I would feel significantly more confident parking an e-bike if I could remove the battery, and know that a replacemen
