I thought it was «windows has all the viruses» since there are a lot of npm packages and it’s used by a lot of people?

A binary format that is only readable by some very specific version of the program writing it. The older xls comes to mind, but there must be thousands of examples.

You can unzip the xlsx and read the xml inside. It’s not the worst format by far.

Lots of sites publish outages, incidents, downtime over RSS/atom. Works great for monitoring, post them into slack with a bot and you can start a discussion thread about that incident where you first hear about it.

They asked developers to help them improve windows battery life on laptops, competing against chromebooks and macbooks. The AI gigawatts are all in data centers. They never cared for the environment (in this way, at least).

I just avoid windows whenever I can.

Browsers let me copy-paste curl commands from developer tools. These don’t work with windows «curl». I know a few flags of curl too. These also don’t generally work with «curl».

The curl alias in powershell is not compatible so it is an inconvenience. Must be one of the worst decisions to make it into windows, which is saying a lot.

Also you can schedule it a bit off. Every hour? Delay it a few seconds. Can’t do that with a chat message. Also, batch up a bunch of them, maybe save some compute that way? Latency is not an issue.

Just use numpy if you want to do math. Seriously.

Same here. I have however seen a few out of memory cases in the past when given large input files.

I honestly don’t think the models are as important as people tend to believe. More important is how the models are given tools - find, grep, git, test runners, …

Claude code is great at figuring out legacy code! I dont get the «for new systems only» idea, myself.

You might need to backtrack a lot more, due to the intermediate compression step?

If you can’t deliver to the DLQ, then what? Then you’re missing messages either way. Who cares if it’s down this way or the other?

I cannot recall Obama doing one single thing for peace internationally? Which conflict did he help stop?

My samsung did this years ago. Not sure if it was truly required but I’d say this has happened.

I like tmux better as well (muscle memory) but AFAIK you need tmuxinator for preconfiguring layouts?

Is it? I read that they disabled mixpanel while the incident was ongoing?

by pletnes 10mo ago
That way? I was trying to say that the mix of hydrocarbon molecules is different for each and every oil field due to local geological variation. Even within the field, since eg lighter molecules presumably come out first.

by pletnes 10mo ago
Depends a lot on the oil field, geology is random

On windows, it depends on the local git configuration. It’s not something I’ve been happy with, especially since symlinks also behave differently again when you’re running a docker container to get your windows usable for development.

Even better: it scales nicely with the browser’s zoom setting.

Not all things run as containers.

But pypy doesn’t necessarily perform as well, and it can’t jit compile the already compiled C code in numpy, so any benefits are often lost.

I’ve used Airtable a bit. I think it’s really cool and would like more people to use it. However, it’s a lot more clicks and key presses to get things done - especially data entry - than in Excel. This also makes it better, since you can pu

Lower than the cost of a meatbag-office with heating, cooling and coffee for the time spent reading the manual.
