It's not. The API is different, since GPT-4 is a chat based model, and davinci isn't. It's not a huge difference, but these little sort of things add up.

I've been using the JS version of langchain for a few months now, and despite there being a lot of valid criticism, (especially around the abstractions it provides) I'm still glad to be using it. We get the benefits of a well used

Arguing that Tailwind is a leaky abstraction for CSS is like arguing that ORMs are leaky abstractions for SQL; hiding the underlying implementation isn't the point of these tools. The biggest benefit is that you get a fairly well thoug

You don't have to host it yourself ;) Beyond that, there are a couple of things that I don't believe bors has. A big one that I built for myself was the idea of supporting "working hours", i.e. only merge code during thi

I launched mergecaravan.com to deal with a problem I've encountered at a few jobs in the past. Mostly, I built it initially to scratch my own itch, and to go back to doing more django dev. Basically, you can add a label to a PR in gith

As a very happy Metabase user, glad to see this. Hope the team uses the money to make the project better while still keeping its open source roots.

I've used StitchData at a startup with AWS Redshift. Pair it with something like dbt for transforming your data, and you have a great match. A little pricey, but totally worth it, IMO.

Came here looking for a comment like this. If you're not discussing HATEOAS at all, you will be losing out on many of the benefits that REST provides.

Having a clear salary expectation up front just saves both parties time and effort. One of the big reasons salary ranges aren't always public, is because it benefits the company, by maintaining information asymmetry. By but doing that,

I was the first engineer hire at a small startup, and have helped our CTO/Co-founder grow the company over the past 3 years. All I can say, is that almost everything that was said here was the exact experience we had. Even down to the

I think lambda syntax can be a bit cumbersome, but that aside what I really miss is a clean syntax for chaining functional operations. So often I find myself thinking about data in terms of 'pipelines'. i.e. in JS: _.chain(val

While I resonate with the sentiment, I just wish Python would add better syntax for functional programming. Having written a lot of JavaScript lately, I wish Python's built-in functional tools supported something cleaner, kinda like Un

Actually, this exact issue was also an issue in Debian. The bug reports can be found further down in an answer to the same stackoverflow question. It may now be fixed, I'm not sure.

Ubuntu is one the most deployed server distributions of linux, and one of the most battle tested. While this post isn't meant to criticize python 3 (I think the language is perfectly fine as is), it's meant to criticize the ecosys

by jpulec 12y ago
Perhaps the title should be altered. My main argument is that the ecosystem around python3 is what's holding it back. I think the language itself is perfectly ready, and even most major packages have been ported over.

Check out https://python3wos.appspot.com/ . The majority of major packages have been ported over. Most of the bigger stuff is often run independently and not actually imported by other code (sentry, supervisor, ansible... t

More modular? I think how modular it is, is one of Django's greatest strengths. Don't like django's templating? You can be up and running with jinja2 in less than 20 lines. Don't like Django's user model? Substitute

I worked at DoIT before graduating and moving out to the Bay Area. And your characterization regarding its bureaucracy and efficiency are pretty spot on.

I'm of the belief that you should reveal as little information as possible regarding your web stack. This alone indicates that they're running Django, although that could probably could have been guessed pretty easily considering
