The latest Qwen models (including 3.8 27B) do still support FIM-style in-editor code auto-completion if that's what you're looking for. I wouldn't want to use a large dense model like 27B for such a task (since FIM-style auto

That's great! There's nothing wrong with that! But what you're saying is NOT what the person I was responding to was saying, 'nor was it what I was responding to. I don't know if you read their post or not before re

This is a very narrow view of the situation. There are any number of reasons why some people may prefer working from an office. Take myself as an example. I live alone, in a small apartment. My home "office" is a corner of my livi

It's really sad, but yes, this is what I ultimately ended up doing too. There was no way to configure the filters to very closely approximate what the feed was showing previously that I could find. The new algorithm always seemed to wa

Hello! First time posting in one of these threads. I suspect it'll just get lost in here, but who knows! I'm a developer who has been writing code professionally for ~18 years, but in total including my self-taught years as a teen

Yup. It's absolutely crazy to me to see the amount of people who are apparently doing hiring telling others here in the comments (and elsewhere on HN, etc) that they should "grind leetcode" while also NOT admitting that this

While that is obviously a detractor that I would agree with, how much it affects you will vary from person to person. Again, just myself as an example, I've been somewhat surprised over the years how little I've actually needed a

I don't think that's a "different opinion" at all! :-) I look at it the same way basically.

See, I take a bit of a different view in the example you've given. Like, if I got rejected because I seemed "too excited about my personal side projects" I'd come away from that thinking "if that's really their

I mean I agree with you on this, but the idea that you can gauge a person's skillset through conversation ( gasp !) and talking about your craft and details about past projects, etc seems to be totally lost on people today.

It's been surprising to me to read through the comments posted here and seeing how most people seem to really despise take-home assignments during the interview process. Speaking as someone who absolutely hates live-coding something du

Yeah the (what I personally call it) "choose your own adventure" style approach to Clojure projects, where you don't use a framework like Rails, but just string together your own project from separate libraries, is really bot

That's an interesting point I'd not thought of. I guess I'm more looking at it through the lens of "interacting with and modifying a running system" which kinda gives you a debugger (ish), compiler and execution env

This is my experience exactly. I love the language and ecosystem in a lot of ways. I also believe that REPL-driven-development is a ridiculously productive way to work. But I absolutely hate maintaining an old Clojure codebase (unless it&

Very cool! Just tried this out for fun on my 486DX2 PC ( https://i.imgur.com/NOeR1Ad.jpg ). It boots, but obviously the minimal kernel only has included support for a small set of hardware, which does not include serial mou

This is a really important point. I work with someone who has quite a bit of an ego. Definitely cares far too much about his personal brand, which has been built up over the years through open source projects. Any time you work on a project

I'm not sure why you're contrasting Clojure and Java, but nowhere was I recommending using Java over Clojure (nor would I ever offer such a recommendation). Certainly there are much, much better choices for a statically typed lang

I think you've really summed it up well here. I have exactly the same concerns when looking at large Clojure codebases. It gets incredibly tiresome having to do this and even at the end of it, I'm still left with that nagging doub

I can't say I've personally seen any evidence of "mass migrations" of this sort. However, I can personally say that after 5 years of working with Clojure and with several large Clojure projects under my belt now, I'

It's interesting to hear from someone else who also finds that Clojure/Lisp code can be difficult to read. I worked with Clojure professionally for 2 years and had started to think that I was the odd one out since everyone else I

It could be edited yes, but I'd assume once you change some Python code and recompile you'd lose your assembly tweaks. Not the end of the world I guess, but annoying if you're really trying to tweak things for maximum perform

"Hackintosh" and "Laptop" don't go well together. Regardless of the type of laptop. A certain model HP laptop is a small exception, but it's not 100% perfect. From my own personal experience running a Hackintosh on a desktop PC I built myse
