On prem beats the heck out of github post Microsoft though... At least you know how to get it working again when someone breaks it. These days with github you expect a weekly 500, a rainbow unicorn error, build failures due to unavailable e

"Chinese repos" is a very charitable interpretation of the Google drive links they used to distribute the os. It seemed like it was on the free plan too, it often didn't work because it tripped the maximum downloads per month

As nice as it looks, I have a lot of trouble believing the "we have magic money, it's free because that's good for business" logic. PDFgear is free of charge, and we don’t generate income through any hidden means.

Plans for language bindings? Should be trivial to whip up simpler ones like python or dotnet but I didn't see any official bindings yet.

I've used them as a quick way to get rootless configured base images. Not sure if official repos provide those now, but it used to be a big hassle to get things like postgres images running without root in their containers. Although I

If you really want the 80 col experience, I think that was the fortran 77 default. You'd even get compiler errors if you try to exceed it. Of course there were flags to increase the line length limit but don't tell your colleagues

F# has been a third class citizen for a long time... Last I heard the entire f# team was ~10 people. Pretty sure "find references" still doesn't work across c# and f# (if you call a c# method from f# or vise versa). That also

Side note, if you're a lazygit fan, consider using gitui as an alternative. Feature wise they're pretty similar but gitui is much faster and I find it easier to use. https://github.com/gitui-org/gitui

I wish setup.py was actually on the way out, but sadly, it's the only straightforward way to handle packages that use cython or interop. In these cases, libraries use setup.py to compile the dll/so/dylib at install time. Natu

I guess they abandoned the python superset idea? I followed them for a bit when they first publicly launched and they said "don't worry, we'll be a real python superset soon" and the biggest omission was no support for c

That costs money to maintain, even if it's just a few bucks a month. I've seen plenty of Chinese companies using mega/gdrive/etc just because it's free. I used to think it was just cheapness, but depending on the co

It sounds like you're trying to use these llms as oracles, which is going to cause you a lot of frustration. I've found almost all of them now excel at imitating a junior dev or a drunk PhD student. For example the other day I was

I'll just pitch in as someone who's worked with several 40+ year old codebases and 3+ year old perl, the perl code is significantly harder to maintain. The language lends itself to unreadable levels of terseness and abuse of regex

In the real world, for web things, people use django or fastapi. I'd suggest picking a project with lots of stackoverflow questions and poking around their docs to see which makes you the most comfortable. Personally I tend to favor li

For papers sometimes you need to hit a page count to make your sponsor/advisor/conference happy. I've been told "this is a great paper but can you pad it out to 12pgs?", maybe that happened here as well.

Nodejs/js runtimes in general get a lot of development effort to make the runtimes fast from Google et al. It's the default web language so there's a ton of effort put into optimizing the runtime. Python on the other hand is

I don't honestly think anyone can remember bash array syntax if they take a 2 week break. It's the kind of arcane nonsense that LLMs are perfect for. The only downside is if the fancy autocomplete model messes it up, we're go

Is there a difference between global setattr(object, v) and object.__setattr__(v)? I've seen setattr() in the wild all over but I've never encountered the dunder one.

Have you tried using chatgpt/etc as a starting point when you're unfamiliar with something? That's where it really excels for me, I can go crazy fast from 0 to ~30 (if we call 60 mvp). For example, the other day I was trying

I think it just predicts 2 branches per cycle instead of 1. So it can evaluate the result of n+2 ahead of time instead of only n+1 (typical branch prediction). How this works without wrecking the L1 cache, I'm not sure. It seems like t

What do you mean by "relatively universal"? This is Cuda only [0] with a promise of a rocm backend eventually. There's only one project I'm aware of that seriously tries to address the Cuda issue in ml [1]. [0] https:&#

Does llvm have good riscv support for cross compiling? In my experience, even aarch64 isn't universally supported as a cross compiling target and building on embedded devices is an exercise in patience. I never even considered trying r
