Personally, I had good experience with marimos so far. Reactive execution, variable deduplication, clear business logic vs UI elements logic separation that is forced on you is good. It retrains ppl to write slightly better structured Pytho

Not very hard to you, however the reproducibility numbers tell a different story. Back in the days, when we were searching for some ML model implementations in the public repos and found ipynb files in it, we skipped the repo without delvin

pacman and aur with preconfigured DE, it saves a lot of time. I switched to Manjaro after I got tired of tweaking arch even for most trivial things every single reinstall. Its the best distro for learning though. Apt or rpm distros can bare

Sigh. I don't get the sentiment and the whole debate here. The author is clearly nitpicking (he is the first person who uses messages after all). But honestly, complaints about "arrange" screens button? Nevertheless, he is p

I tried doing some LeetCode problems and found that the time I spent making sense of their task descriptions is just not worth it. They are a mixed bag and some of them are simply not well written to a degree that you feel stupid while spen

I have to admit, several years ago, a colleague of mine advised me if not to try Clojure but at least to read the "History of Clojure": https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3386321 , which I never did.

Yes, and with heavy use of one of the biggest D strengths -- CTFE (compile time eval). Great lib!

If you need just csv/tsv parsing, you can also take a look at https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils

I used to use Phind for couple of months. I liked the UI improvements but the slow limited free GPT4 and fast lackluster Phind model turned me off. I tried Bing and it wasn’t worse, had more free searches per day.

The "code" assistant is just a chat interface configured for programming tasks powered by gpt4 (Ultimate plan) and gpt3.5 for (Pro plan).

You are confusing search and text generation.

Kagi once returned nothing for one of my searches. I didn't anticipate that and decided to go to Bing. Bing returned many results but none of them was relevant. This is what any decent search engine should do -- return nothing, if you

Kagi now is not only a search engine, the Ultimate plan gives you code, chat and research assistants. For chat you can even choose gpt4 turbo, gpt4, gpt3.5, claude2 or mistral models! On top they also have a fast summarizer. I honestly don’

Based on the recent (September 2023) social study: Which is your native language? 2012: 57% Ukrainian, 42% Russian; 2023: 82% Ukrainian, 16% Russian Which language do you speak at home? 2023: 63% Ukrainian, 27% mixed, 7% Russian Coincides w

not anecdotal, I speak both languages. The trend now is to reject everything russian even though you do understand it, no way around this. And yes, the “kitchen language” for many ukrainians, especially east part, remained russian. However,

Well, this is pretty much dated. You would be surprised to learn how the tables started to turn starting from 2014 and finished turning today.

Aren‘t these connected? Its about the contribution culture. If there is so much pain that it led to a language fork, what IDE and quality of life improvements from a shrinking community can we talk about? When I started with D several years

I never understood why they keep manufacturing these platform locked monstrosities. I bet no Linux distro will properly support it. Once I made a mistake and bought MS Surface Book, which now is a magnesium brick that doesn't last a fe

More than 20 years passed and nothing really changed. What makes you think it will be different now. It's a "Tango" part 2 all over again. Except now, the ship has long sailed.

He pretty much derailed the D forum forking thread into remotely related tech discussion. This was weird to observe tbo, in the end my take is that he doesn't seem to bother much and would rather continue living in his version of the s

no, the D forum thread has several github links which pretty much self-explanatory of what has been going on.

Subscribed for a year after a free trial. Returns more relevant results than Bing, snappy interface and just overall gives you a good impression. They have a fast GPT powered article summarizer, which I find extremely useful when exploring

Those days D2 was probably not ready to be adopted in prod anyway and Andrei worked as a research scientist on a specific problem so I don't think he was on "that" level of corporate influence. He then left FB to work fully o
