Sup Eddie, the actual motivating example is we finally nixed Pandas from Data Ingestion, now reading excel files takes 2 seconds instead of 2 minutes. However unfortunately your > TODO: rewrite this entire service remains.

My limited and fuzzy recollection is that while the freq response of most cheap to mid speakers is balls, the freq response of most cheap mics is quite good - sure not studio quality, but much better than the equivalent speaker.

Questions for those who like the grid layout of virtual desktops - how does it (or should it?) interact with multi monitor setups? Feels like this would break or at least compromise the spatial metaphor. - Each monitor has own grid? - The V

Even the linked ghostty PR on your home shows this - this is Firefox Android on a Nokia XR21 / TA-1486. It's not unuseable, but it definitely feels like 'js hacking my scrolling' and not a native surface flinging around.

I disagree with the theory that scrolling frame rate doesn't need to be smooth for scrolling to feel smooth. On mobile it kinda does. Scrolling diffs on mobile just kinda feels crap. I have been spoiled by years of engineer hours spent

See what you get for saying things with subtlety instead of hype these days... sigh.

> I chalked it up to a power trip and the indignant behavior that comes along with it, as it is especially embedded in the culture of the country that I'm based out of. That's a very globally-conscious way to refer to the USA!

I have a consumer motion-triggered camera that is armed 24/7 and records for 30 seconds after each trigger. It has WiFi and serves playback itself, as well as of course video encoding. It's probably running Linux though i haven&#x

I have often wondered if Chinese is a much 'better' language for LLMs - every character is a token, boom you're done. No weird subword nonsense, no strange semantics being applied to arbitrary chunks of words.. I feel like th

That sounds really interesting, but my google-fu is not up to task here, I'm getting pages and pages of nonsense asking if Claude is conscious. Can you elaborate?

I thought the term for those were 'sane languages', and I say that as a native English speaker :)

Well yeah, if everything runs unsandboxed as root then there are no privilege escalations! Less pithy, i seem to recall many issue with programs that relied on suid and permission dropping, which would be the 'oldschool' way of fi

I want a keyboard switch with a weight on the end of a lever, typewriter or piano style. Or some other mechanism whereby the resistance would be constant or even reverse-linear-ish (from gravity and momentum), not linear (from a spring). B

The rendering is very cool, but what i really want is this as a renderer i can plug into Vega. Vega/VGlite have amazing charting expressivity in their spec language, most other charting libs don't come close. It would be very cool

In the era of solar power saturating the grid in daytime, the energy cost is far less of an issue - At least, I assume California has similar characteristics to Australia in this regard.

Singapore could be due to being a common VPN exit node for within SE Asia? Close by and avoids the most common regional blacklists (and gov firewalls of course).

I think that was the intent of Go's design, but in practise i think it normally devolves into an overly verbose '?' with a poorly typed Result<_, String>. As a Go dev, I'm looking at this article with great interes

The issue (i think) is that the animation is done post-rasterizing. So a translate of integer pixels is fine, but scale? Skew? Suddenly you have really visible colour fringing appearing out of nowhere.

Wow, even if it wasn't so fast, I'd be tempted to use this solely due to their support of intersection (A & B) types! This is a sore omission from the standard python typing system.

Gnome works OK with integer scaling, more granular than this and you're up shit creek. E.G. can you set one screen to 150% and one to 175%? (I think the answer to this is 'technically yes but then everything goes a bit blurry beca

Gnome is wayland, but they are very stubborn about the extensions they will/won't implement. For example, mixed dpi scaling, server side decorations, accessibility protocols all work differently on gnome or not at all. This makes

They attempt to avoid them, though snaps are still available if you wish. Flatpak is installed by default and used by their app store, and Firefox is packaged as a deb so you can avoid the snap. I consider it a deshittified Ubuntu.

Interested in tangent replies to this, even if such fonts are artistically unsuitable for games - are open source fonts OK for Japanese? I understand that Unicode denotes single characters for both Chinese and Japanese (and Korean outside o

Jesus Christ, i can't even get my own package to reliably self-publish in CI without ending up with a fragile pile of twigs, I'm awed they are able to automate infection like that.

How's the latency? Latency is what makes Zoom et al painful for me now - it ruins the ability to politely interject, give confirmatiom, etc. Does Apple do a better job of this than Google/Zoom? In theory you could get 20-30ms (jus
