Pre-PEP: Import name metadata As threatened promised, here is my next planned PEP (I haven’t bothered making it an official PEP yet in case the idea is considered downright bad, which would save me writing the PoC and translating ...

Oops I did it again, I wrote a new PEP, got lost in the comments, oh coder, coder.
Oops, you thought I could stop, that I knew better, I'm not that intelligent.

No matter how lonely I am, I would sooner hurl myself into a volcano than make "friends" with software. Touch grass.

Cursor founder Aman Sanger tweet:

"Cursor writes almost 1 billion lines of accepted code a day. 

To put it in perspective, the entire world produces just a few billion lines a day."

Great, because exactly what we needed is MORE CODE

I thought specifying inputs was necessary for flakes. Huh, good thing I never used that feature.

Has anyone noticed that Claude's answers are concise and ChatGPt's are not only less concise, it also has a lot of noise with over explanation, intended for someone with minimal coding experience?

Isn't that a compile-time guarantee? I believe it's different than "binary-level compatibility" because that usually implies ABI stability and that's not present.

Good morning! On this International Day of #WomenInScience I'd like to express my strong support and thanks for women bringing their talents and dedication to this field. Every day should be such a day. In this odd time in which social forces would pull us backwards, this is important to reinforce.

This is your regular PSA reminder to look at all of the fine print of *all* the terms that are attached to technology you can freely download on the Internet.

While the source code may have MIT terms, not all of the required digital material for AI models is source code...

A meme titled "Two types of Linux elites." It contrasts two archetypes of Linux users:

On the left, an exaggerated "nerdy" man wearing glasses and a sweater vest is shown under the Arch Linux logo, with the caption "I'm unemployed."

On the right, a muscular "cool" man sitting at a desk with energy drinks nearby is shown under the NixOS logo, also with the caption "I'm unemployed."


The humor comes from the stereotypical portrayal of Linux users and the irony of their "elite" status despite the identical label of unemployment.
