The decision to default to the streaming engine is really interesting. My intuition is that this would be slower than other data frame operations that are more parallelizable with batch processing, because streaming engines necessarily proc

I love these kinds of posts. Simple, fast, AI-free, and I learn something new.

I think you’ll also find that the best way to strongly pressure companies to do something is by law. The work that Right to Repair advocates have been doing across the industry is fantastic.

Agreed! It’s a good post.

It was (my) main takeaway and I wanted it to be evident in the headline. I didn’t want to bury the lede; I’ll uneditorialize it because it seems it’s causing some fighting in the comments and I don’t really want to instigate anything, more

This a fascinating security write up. I had no idea the models were this capable for reverse engineering. I heard CISA is getting defunded. I wonder if it'll become a common assumption for Americans that all their devices are just perp

Usually the ads on hacker news are accompanied by a press release or a technical writeup so that I at least learn something new.

Everyone suggesting that they simply charge users for commits to drive off AI-heavy users forgets that Github is owned by Microsoft, who has a big incentive to keep having developers use AI. I suspect that Microsoft would even prefer to hav

Always a fun time to bring up my favorite writeups in database benchmarking: https://questdb.com/blog/lies-damn-lies-and-database-benchma... There’s also an excellent paper called “Fair Benchmarking Considered Difficu

There’s definitely strategies here; A lot of the floating point operations use subnormals, and a lot of the worst instructions are slowed down by really, really fucking with MMIO.

I have this stance. It’s, for me, a tail-risk calculation: For a given nuclear power plant to be more environmentally friendly than equivalent coal, you have to price in the probability of a nuclear catastrophe with the fact that such catas

It’s meant to be both funny AND highly unprofessional; Anubis makes money of licensing a version of the firewall where you can change the image. It’s a good strategy; personal websites and blogs can display the anime girl without fear, and

There’s the DSA. Organized resistance to the cost of living crisis in NYC has been mostly organized through them, to great popularity.

Eliza is one of the only games that I enjoyed so much that I sent fan mail when it came out — it’s nothing that a standard Zachtronics game but it stands alone as an excellent visual novel.

I would be disappointed if someone took the completion of my degree and the ceremony behind it as an opportunity to push their business. There’s enough advertisements on the internet; We don't need ads in our universities, too.

What do we think is more to blame for GitHub's massive decrease in quality? I've heard the following theories: 1. Increasing amount of AI-generated code in their codebase, decreasing the quality of the service. 2. Bought by Micros

I often see people frame music as mathematical manipulation or try to approach music making from a “first principles” approach, where those principles are mathematics and physics. But watching musicians talk about making music, I seldom see

While not production ready, I’ve been happily surprised at this functionality when building with it. I love my interpreters to be deterministic, or when random to be explicitly seeded. It makes debugging much easier when I can rerun the sam

The title made me hope for an article about making software serve democracies better instead of consolidating power and wealth. It's about how datacenter build-out in the EU might be accelerated by loosening regulations. Still interest

I love their discussion on currying. Currying is very cool theoretically, but I agree that it really causes some bugs and isn’t used that often. It’s cool that most functional compilers automatically curry my functions and give me partial a
