They spent months hyping up Mythos and ended up with it banned. I’d assume they want to both differentiate their products and appeal to regulators here

I still dont fully understand the point of MCP servers. What do they provide that a skill doesnt? Maybe I've just used too many poorly written ones. Is there some sort of tool that can be expressed as an MCP and but not as an API or

Timezones still play a huge part here as well. My team has several engineers who are at par compared to the rest of the team but they're a pain to work with due to a 10 Hour time difference.They may be paid 50% less but they're 50

even with the supported plug-ins it's still not the same either. intellij with python plugin has just enough differences with it that it throws off some of my coworkers who use pycharm.

Yep, I got intellij to work with python/rust/scala and it's frustrating to see it pulled out like that. Not sure why they need to sell so many IDEs that are almost identical. Would've been happy with some upcharge for a

Errors/Exceptions by value isn't that important in isolation, but it makes functional programming styles work a lot better (monads). I think there's still an argument here that this is just a symptom of trying to force functi

Hard agreed here. Combined with the language's poor packaging landscape, I've been finding python to be less and less productive as the team I'm on grows from 1 (me) to many. This includes using mypy religiously, always type-

Yeah, dagster has a concept of metadata and assets so we have some code that'll map dagster's own logical representation to physical s3 locations. Reports and viz varies a lot, the finance department uses tableau where as for more

We orchestrate our ETL pipelines with dagster. We only use duckdb in a few of them but are slowly replacing pandas etls with it. For some of our bigger jobs we use spark instead. Essentially it's: 1. Data sources from places such as s3

I use 1.1.1.1 myself, if cloudflare follows this court order i doubt I'd ever notice. Despite that, it's absolutely disgusting, and sets a bad precedent. What happens if China/Russia/The USA start demanding blocking of s
