Thanks for the explanation, this is very interesting! Just so that I’m sure I’m understanding, this doesn’t have to do with what GradientJ currently offers, or does it?

I know anecdotes are not data, but I've been surprised how much “elasticity” there is in NYC when it comes to people I know who are not disposed to ride a bike starting to ride a bike as infrastructure (meaning both bike lanes and ride

The number I could find is that 6% of Americans don't know how to ride a bike, as of 2013[1] For comparison, far less than 94% of American adults have a license as of 2018[2]. And certainly, teenagers should count too -- having a bike

I agree with your overall point, but interestingly it does look like Chrome is interested in shipping WASM GC in the browser. Here's their tracker for it: https://chromestatus.com/feature/6062715726462976

Indeed, some people are doing this: - WASI once had an official polyfill https://wasi.dev/polyfill/ , now apparently succeeded by https://github.com/bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim - wasmer-js provides a

Glad to see serde mentioned as a top-level item here. It’s a huge timesaver for anything that sends data over the network or persists it to disk.

Technically you could, but they'd all be run on the same CPU core. You could spawn a Web Workers for each core, in theory, although some browsers will lie about the number of cores.

I uses to use Jaccard similarity combined with w-shingling at the character level to detect clusters of fraud sites. It was surprisingly effective, because it was able to pick up common patterns in the code even if they used completely diff

Despite the title of the FAQ, this is not just about private repos, it's about public ones too. Having to change the path to public repos (which could reside in different documentation, third-party tutorials, scripts, etc.) within 30 d

I just got the same email, and am a bit confused on that point. The FAQ makes it sound like it's about private repos, but from the email the scope appears to be broader: [edit: email removed to reduce noise since it appears elsewhere i

I noticed the other day that blocklists really don’t like the word “counter”. I had a bunch of simple demos, one of which was a counter, and it was the only one that didn’t work. Turned out u-block was preventing it from loading.

Does that place some restrictions on what can be done with the state? e.g. does it need to be pickleable and relatively small since it needs to be loaded from redis on every event? (Pretty cool, btw! Congrats on the launch)

I assume GP is referring to frameworks like Gradio ( https://gradio.app/ ) and to a lesser extent Streamlit. Existing web UI frameworks for Python are somewhat opinionated around particular use cases, of which AI/ML is a

No, I’m not blaming them at all! In retrospect they made the right move. Companies that moved funds early had a duty to their employees and investors, and did right by them. I do, though, worry about the message it sends to say that everyon

Wow, I thought by copycat you meant that they went for a similar feature set, but from screenshots it looks identical down to font and color choices. Are they just running a white labeled instance of Plausible’s OSS?

I think you’re right from a rational, look-at-the-balance-sheet point of view, but I think that’s less important than it might seem. If people see other people heading to the exit, they don’t have time to look at the balance sheet, they joi

Well yeah, everyone is a genius in retrospect. If you know it’s going to be a bank run, you get out. The problem is that by the time you know a bank run is happening it’s probably too late. The logical conclusion of this thinking is a syste
