Getting the shape of things right in Python is exactly as irritating as it seems.

Zig will be remembered as the language that inspired comp time programming in Mojo.

Mojo has dependent types. What are the programming language nerds not all over this?

So it’s Tuesday then

Thanks - that was a good explainer and that’s a very useful thing to receive at the moment.

Ha ha - might be. Legible to this Canadian.

Yes ok - agreed. And all that ERP software.

What so you mean by platforms?

The best abstractions tend to find new and unexpected uses.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. What will be the native UI for AI?

It seems silly to think we will just shoe-horn it into our existing paradigms.

Yep - we use this quite happily

The Nvidia models seem like a big deal to me. I’m surprised more people are talking about them?

When people want to become leads or managers I always explain this to them: you are now responsible for the work of other people. It’s a very different thing to do.

Very large form (invoice with possibly thousands of lines) and some poor choices by people setting it up initially made it very slow as the lines scaled. Probably not a fair comparison.

It did seem easy to misuse though - so that’s not great.

Came here to say that I hope this will eventually feel fixed by uv. But we are currently in the awkward transition phase.

This is the way

You seem to have done a remarkable job.

That’s 20 x 8 hour days. Which is 10% of a typical full time job (200 days a year). I’d say that’s a lot.

And 50% of the homes have guns?

been wondering why software transactional memory never really took off

on one hand, when contention is low, you can just use a big lock and everything works out

when contention is high, well, stm will have performance cliffs that are hard to understand, predict, or prevent

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

That’s what you put them there

The ones that unlock the door.

I’m still recovering from my react hook form PTSD. Give me a moment.

A typical sass app should use foreign keys.

Hey, for anyone processing the Bluesky #firehose, here are a couple open-source libraries you might want to look at. They both give you a thing you can push "patterns" at and then feed JSON blobs and it tells you which patterns matched. Why is this interesting?

S3 gets *native* Iceberg support. 🤯

We knew something like this was coming (bsky.app/profile/bene...), but it's an even deeper integration than I expected.

I think many would say he was being a putz if he didn’t use his power to benefit his family.

We completed 100% of our commitments in the last quarter.

In the real world we have to support software that is built over many years and can’t just keep hopping on the new hotness.
