This looks great but as someone who has been doing lots of Spark lately, I feel like this will further worsen the development process. The problem with Spark is that there's a lot of magic that happens underneath and being able to debu

This is really nice. I have 1 nitpicky comment on the blog. The font used is jarring for me to read.

This is difficult. Few ideas. 1. Ask ChatGPT to review your code 2. Start contributing to open source projects where you can get your PR's reviewed. 3. Use https://codereview.stackexchange.com/

There are other apps with somewhat similar philosophy like Plotly Dash. The problem I have faced is that it's almost impossible to debug because you cannot step through code the same way you could in a JS app. Do you plan to solve this

> Although the machine itself will not generate power, it will be used to develop technology needed for future inertial confinement fusion energy powerplants. 5 years away and it will not even generate power. Seems a risky bet.

I guess it depends a little on how many levels you have to go through to get the big picture. If it's a big company then you will find it difficult to get the big picture since you may have to go through a lot of levels. If it is a sma

It's funny that Verge is regurgitating an interview from a different source about ChatGPT as an article. It's funny because that sounds like something you could do with ChatGPT!

Can Clickhouse local query from files on AWS S3? We recently had some issues querying parquet files on AWS S3. I tried benchmarking various tools and DuckDB seemed the most promising. Didn't find good documentation for clickhouse local

Very cool. The naming is somewhat confusing. On the top you mention 2D spatial grids but in the description you mention 1D, 2D and 3D. Or am I misinterpreting something.

The article seems light, citing a single article for the outcome but I think what is very interesting about the article itself is that its an article from the Guardian asking "Why has this been allowed?". This I feel is what is pr

I think your best option right now is to ask your previous employer if they will have you back. What type of visa did you have. If you had a Blue Card, you are typically allowed 3 months to find another job. Maybe HN can help find you anot

Yes parts of it were solved decades ago but Boom is not doing exactly the same thing. Concorde for example had an afterburner.

Ok I will bite. Commercial engine manufacturers are also an oligopoly so they also have very little incentive to innovate like aircraft manufacturers. The only way to incentivize them is to bring a big pot of gold. I remember Boom tried but

It's very disappointing to see how skeptical HN has become about new technology. Making aircrafts is hard, making supersonic aircraft even harder and making a new supersonic aircraft company hardest of all. That there's progress b

I am having fun recreating some of the tutorials in Python. Getting visualizations working the same way is harder though so I am not doing everything the same way.

This is pretty cool but I have never managed to make it work with our AWS ECR repos. There are probably some permissions that I am missing but not very clear in the documentation how to do that.

Naive question but is the architecture trying so much to optimize branch prediction because software is more and more dominated by conditional logic(if statements)?

I sympathize with this a bit. I want to occasionally travel to work and have interesting conversations that only working together at a physical location bring. My problem is that there are not a lot of interesting jobs where I am at.

This is a weird comment especially since the background is that the OP is concerned about it happening in India. For decades we have been unable to creates any jobs at all since we had strict employment hiring/firing rules. And look wh

It seems strange that this comment was so aggressively down voted. Anything related to Elon gets the same treatment by HN that I feel that Elon invites a visceral rather than an objective reaction.

Tools like these are usually highly specialized as you say. I think you will need to do quite a bit of wrangling to get what you want. Wish you the best.
