Re PDF/HTML... I suppose it's not the literal file format, although I do see value in a format that is closer to "everyone gets the same experience" (c.f. recent blogpost about grammarly extension borking CSS) I miss whe

Understood. But what you have described is an attitude. Another possible attitude is being happy to lose money, hand over fist. Somewhere in between, there used to be a multi-billion company that made a piffling 10% margin on revenue. You n

You joke, I think, but I do think a solid welfare state delivers benefits that a mainstream economist would recognise. I fancy the long-term prospects if a country with a safety net higher than one without, all other things being equal. I s

Can you smell straw? Let me give you a tool for your mental toolkit. When you find yourself saying this: > <some group> loves to ...it's a smell. What follows may be perfectly reasonable, but in my experience it's more co

He's not "close to power". He's cutting your nation into shreds, unopposed.

To me, "make money" only implies financial sustainability. Do you take it to mean unicorn levels of cash? I had an employer taken over by PE and shredded, for the crime of only managing 10% profit margin. Apparently, to some, if 2

Sadly, my pension I have no holdings in armaments or instruments of torture, apparently. But that's about the most constraint I can apply, short of self-managing.

I can't take a position without looking under the hood, but what concerns me is "SqlModel is both a pydantic model and an SA model", which makes me think it may still have the dynamic unintended-query characteristics that I&#

I've used SqlAlchemy in a biggish project. Had many problems, the worst ones were around session scoping and DB hitting season limits, but we had issues around the models too. The argument for hiding SqlAlchemy is nothing to do with &q

Ah, I see. I was thinking in terms of spaghetti hell. I wrote a big chunk before I recalled that this is just an analogy. We're wandering off topic.

Should I take that to mean that you've reflected, and that you won't, in future, be derailing threads to brag or grind your axe? If so, yw If not, bye

I was a bit angry and wrote a longer post, most of which I thought better of. Apologies if I didn't formally address your concern. It is my opinion, having travelled a little in Africa and India, that the slums in some of your cities a

I heard "deserve neither and will lose both", which has better meter. No idea which is more accurate. I _generally_ agree with the sentiment, but Franklin's neighbours didn't have amplified music.

None so blind as them what won't see. I'm European. We don't have favelas, as far as I've seen. The destitute in my country, and there are plenty, have far higher living standards than in yours. Take a little drive round

Irony noted, but I think it's rare for the horrors of a codebase to be deliberately inflicted for self-enrichment or cruelty.

A little too neat. It has the distinct aroma of lies told to children. (Not that I would have detected it myself, as a child.)

The elm trees are gone from Britain. I grew up without them. I'm looking for land to buy. I won't see my trees reach maturity, but hopefully I can get them established.

I love the ml language I'm learning and consider it better _than_ any other language I use, but I'm puzzled by "ada or ocaml, which is a better rust" Never written rust, only looked at snippets on blogs, but it visually

Be honest, it was one line that should have been broken into 3 for readability. This vicious calumny must stop, only 97% of LLM output is rubbish and not the 99% you claim.

I think you mean "sound values". I suspect that criminality is correlated with stupidity, but that doesn't make all criminals stupid. E.g. scammers based in non-extradition territories may be making a savvy career choice, if

Do a n00b a favour... would you ever run wasm outside of a client browser? Are you suggesting that wasm is a viable platform for local services or commands? Or do you mean that there's a use case for a compilation in the browser?
