I have just downloaded and set it up to talk to Anthropic. I have some unused API credits that I've been trying to find a use for. Haha. To be honest, I was very confused by the the @'ing. Is it possible to always pin the current

From latency perspective, not really. As someone who used redislabs at a previous company, the requests got routed through the Private Network proxy (whatever AWS calls it) which minimizes any networking overhead.

You may feel less enthusiastic about it once you watch the linked video. I wouldn’t exactly call it a roundabout. That’s only what’s at the center of it.

100% agree. I don’t care about OpenAI or the members of its board at all, one bit. What I did see was so much incompetence at the one thing I expect a board to be at least okay at. Hiring and firing. For that alone, I think the board reshuf

Assuming you’re asking in earnest I would begin with S&P 600 Small Cap companies, and see how they got their starts. These are all profitable companies with various levels of earnings growth and indebtedness. Also commercial real estate

Yup, agree. I know HN is not a complaint forum, but I’m starting to wonder why I still pay prime for 7 day delivery. I have switched my pets’ orders to Chewy completely. Their deliveries have consistently been 2 to 3 days even over weekends

For such applications, isn’t the parallelism count usually static and limited? I think there will be good benefits for distributed system frameworks for python. Id agree. A couple of years ago, I implemented in process parallelism for a sys

I agree. UIs written in python could benefit massively from noGIL - complex / computational UIs especially.

What a great article from LWN. It was well-worth reading. As someone who was excited about the NoGIL from Sam Gross when it was first posted here, I think I'm beginning to change my mind after reading this article and reflecting on my

Additionally to the “why not” sibling comment, I suspect nathanmarz can take it :). (Early Apache storm user here.) It takes strong conviction to work on something like this for a decade.

Ah this is fun! :) > I know enough Hindustani music to understand that only melodies are played, and almost never harmonies. Especially when the artiste is performing alap. I think is broadly true, but anecdotally speaking, myself and pe

You add it in your addendum, but I must emphasize that you are extremely biased towards Carnatic. For context, I’m trained in Hindustani music and have given a number of performances and have family and friends who have done the same for Ca

> Youtrack always feels like it should get more traction, but perhaps Jetbrains are happy with it being an MVP for their own purposes. If Jetbrains Spaces gets some more adoption and maturity it may just kick Atlassian's backside. :

Sure, but they also (likely) have tons of teams maintaining and improving them. It's somewhat (but not exactly) like saying Youtube and Android are not Google's products.

Developer here. I quite like Jira, I've never seen anything as fleshed out or complete as it is. At a previous startup, I used clubhouse.io, but I seriously missed Jira after a few months. I generally think Atlassian is a really solid

Really? Not the parent poster, but have observed the same thing. All interns need handholding but some need 10x more than others. And yeah, they often end up doing another internship or so at a faang.

Amusingly (to me) the third attitude towards this is: "It just is that way. I'm sorry that the answer does not satisfy you, but the universe does not owe you a satifying answer." :)

Great recession grad - similar numbers. That experience has really scarred me till today, especially because I kept being told how valuable software engineers are, and how good I personally was in this field. Today, I'm simply grateful

I’ve noticed this but I don’t look at it as maintaining relationships. If you are going to cover a topic deeply better cover all sides of it rather than just a criticism piece or a puff piece. This is what Keeps me coming back to economist.

for real under-performers, it's usually clear within 3-4 months, esp in small teams / small startups. i have _never_ seen a case where i feel a person lacks fundamentals or is a bad culture fit for a team after 3 months, then turn

My understanding is that doing the things that gets you rewarded for whistle-blowing is flat out illegal. You will get into a world of trouble if you go for the cobra effect. In that way, there's both a carrot and a stick right?

It _can_. The idea of having prototypes that can be used immediately but very small in scope, not thinking about what you're going to be working on next week right now, making sure you're setting up systems that can give you fast

I like this distinction, and the bit about converting difficult problems into hard-work. There's one thing that occurred to me in the context of agile + difficult problems. When I think about my sprints, the vast amount of my time is s

Interestingly, a close analogy, hate speech, is perfectly legal in the United States. It looks like laws to ban hate speech have been found unconstitutionally. This is in contrast to most of the other countries around the world. United Stat

That's an interesting second-order effect right? Before Kubernetes et al, it was so much work or so complex that few companies implemented those things. Kubernetes saves so much work, that now everyone is doing it and it feels like mor

Yep! Totally agree. This is good advice.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think a11y should go away even for open-source software, unless it's lightly used or just a toy project.
