Yes, they deprecated the CRS field and the current state of geojson handling libraries is pretty messy as a result since geojson does not have versioning! If you have old geojson in a different projection, will your library respect the crs

Not everywhere that python is run has access to pip. Sshing into some locked down remote machine and needing to debug some script is a use case that comes to mind.

Isn’t the browser inspector more than sufficient? You get the interactive object inspector in the console, live expressions, log points etc. For node you it’s possible to hook it up with the browser inspector as well

Something interesting I realized about their choice of name - S7. 1. It's a combination of S3 and S4 obviously. 2. It's also linked to another OOP system called R6. Interesting how it's a step forward one way (6->7) and a

I actually think this "multi-tiered" system of OOP is quite cool, when compared to languages that stick OOP in your face upfront. 1. Basic users don't even know it's there, they're just calling regular functions. 2.

Yes, though the languages do not support it explicitly you can simulate lazy evaluation by wrapping all your arguments in closures. This way they won't be evaluated until called within the function body.

I too am a Tidyverse shill. Hadley Wickham truly did an amazing job designing the whole ecosystem and API. I personally haven't encountered another API that has given me the same feeling of mastery and empowerment - just the correct bl

I'm in a similar boat. I have to use a 3rd party component library written in web components for our react app (esri/calcite-components) and it's a huge pain because * You can't override styles except what is exposed thr

Seconding NewPipe. Though recently it's been unable to load comments and the error banner keeps popping up as a result (no comments may actually be a plus?) I still use the regular Youtube app for shorts but NewPipe is definitely a bet

Inline styles don't work with a strict CSP. Have you ever had to work with such a restriction?

What syntax of nim's is the network: ... Used to declaratively construct the neural networks? Is it a macro? Looks really neat!

+1 for mobX. Dead straightforward, does one thing and does it well. Only worry is that it increasingly feels like an outsider in React. I'm working on an app that uses React, web components and mobX, and upgrading to React 18's co

As a relative outsider to the observability space, I have always wondered this: Is observability/telemetry only about engineering-related issues (performance, downtimes, bottlenecks etc.) or does it include the "phone-home" t

Dad has a Mazda. Can vouch for this 100%. It's very clear to me when I drive it that their car interfaces are very deliberate and properly designed. That rolling knob thing which controls the screen is amazing and I wish it were standa

Slightly off topic, but I find the author's attempt to use an iterative method (TDD) to derive a recursive algorithm (quicksort) somewhat comical

The next course of action would be to split your distance calculation into multiple steps - a few dimensions at a time. Then we need to decide on an order to these comparisons - what about using entropy derived from the training data? Then

Not exactly. These tree models are ensemble methods, meaning they comprise several trees. Each individual tree may be small, but it is difficult to pinpoint explanations when that tree is but one amongst a forest

I disagree in general with your second point. Yeah, sure, this could make sense in some situations, but many tools and products exist for the sole reason that they offer a superior workflow and smoother experience than their existing counte

As the other guy mentioned this has nothing to do with GoG. A good data language or library should provide the user (and plotting libraries) copyless, cheap and immutable slices of the data being handled. Javascript just doesn't really

I don't think it's fair to label the failure of checked exceptions as "beginners didn't understand". It's the fact that returning null was deemed an acceptable return value on some types of failure throughout t

Yeah. IMO reducing everything to cost-benefit analysis feels like one of those "Silicon Valley" endeavours the feature article talks about - sounds attractive, but ultimately we ought to grow out of the good/bad one-dimension

Client side training with the usual python stack sounds like a configuration nightmare. Would it try to use the users GPU if it exists? Would it fallback to CPU? Does your user need a specific GPU card to play?
