Same, used to work at a place that used to use ghostscript + chromedriver and went to Weasyprint. Weasyprint is quite wonderful, fast, and you can file upstream tickets and get good clarity on what's going on. And you're writing y

The toilet story was in April, and it says "less than 6 months after the shop opened"... kinda a weird headline for a store open less than a year in the end? Or am I misunderstanding something

I think the idea there is that generally speaking doctors get rebated on some sort of defined cost schedule. They'll get $40 from the insurance company for some basic kind of visit, and that is "fixed"... I don't live in

Consider that the profit cap is a percentage, so increased costs in fact increase the amount of profits to be scooped up. So health insurers that would like to see more cash are incentivized to have costs increase! I also think that the pro

The assumption is that more productive AI + humans leads to cost reductions. But if everyone involved has a profit motive, you end up cutting at those cost reductions. "We'll save you 100 bucks, so give us 50", done at the AI

I mean I don't think it's easy to conclude much here, because economics research is the act of trying to figure out how to look at two different points in time in some way and try as hard as possible to ignore every other of the b

currently CPython's WASI build does not have asyncio support out of the box (at least according to [0]). This is, by my understanding, downstream of asyncio implementations in the standard library being built off of primitives around s

I think COVID did a number on a lot of the informal groups. These things take _so long_ to build up, and almost all existing ones suffered. It's only like 5 years later that a lot of informal meetup groups that didn't get destroye

Or you could stop tying H-1Bs to employers, meaning that there's less incentive to do the work to bring "mid level talent" in at below market rates, because those people would immediately find a job at market rates. There&#x2

I really like KDE but it doesn't look nicer than the latest macOS by most tastes. I categorize KDE as the DE for people who enjoy using Windows more than macOS. Part of that involves just settings and functionality being more discovera

One of the things that I think make this tricky is that if you have any DOM references you now have visibility into a GCable object. Part of the web Javascript security model is that you cannot see into garbage collection. So if you have so

My main complaint about React is the sort of lackluster quality of loads of React-adjacent libraries, by people who seem obsessed with "we're doing Yet Another Rewrite and a major version bump". It's not that hard to mai

bun installs are fast, but I think they might be so fast and concurrent they cause npm to really get confused sometimes. I end up hitting 500s from npm from time to time installing by bun and I just don't know why. Really wish the norm

The presented TUI is a full UI for simply browing Github, the Github CLI is not that. Notice how I can list with `gh pr list` but then will need to run a full new command to actually inspect the contents of those PRs. I think an interactive
