Thx, that often works, but that's still inaccessible to me.

If you think about it, it makes sense. Say what you want about LLM-assisted software development, the chances are high that it will stay, meaning a non-trivial part of code will be written by an LLM. So is it better to have - git commit

Ah I see, thx, it's a pretty default configured "gnome-terminal", which probably captures the F10.

It's an interesting file browser, the default "blue" colors gives old-school vibes nowadays. If you wonder how to quit (if started from a terminal): It's `ESC 0`. Or "exit" like from a shell. Took me some time

Valid question i think in this context. I knew about GNU multiprecision library, but thought that couldnt be it, as it's "just" a highly optimized low level bit fiddling lib (at least thats my expectation without looking into

It's okayish. Considering 64G to 128G are available for (nerd) high-end consumers you're just off with a factor 5 (if we can squeeze out a little bit more performance). Thas is pretty astonishing in my opinion.

I think there is some kind of misunderstanding. Sure, if you get somehow structured, machine-generated PDFs parsing them might be feasible. But what about the "scanned" document part? How do you handle that? Your PDF rendering en

Although this is nice, the problems with the GIL are often blown out of proportion: people stating that you couldn't do efficient (compute-bounded) multi-processing, which was never the case as the `multiprocessing` module works just f

Why is it always public cloud (aws, gcp, azure) vs. "bring your own hardware and deploy it in racks". There are multiple providers that offer VPS and ingress/egress for a fraction of the cost of public clouds and they mostly

There's also Lektor CMS: https://www.getlektor.com/ It's quite mice solution to the whole problem (simple hosting + simple editing).

What about CC licenses for model weights? It's common for files ("images", "video", "audio", ...) So maybe appropriate.

> That project is a bash script to tail Kubernetes logs from multiple pods at the same time. Which is also cool! You're obviously both inspired by Unix `tail`. I wonder if we will get a POSIX/Linux layer on top of Kubernetes ..

An annoying thing is if CLI tools don't exit with non-zero if the tool is used incorrectly. It's pretty standard to print the usage string if the tool is invoked with invalid arguments. However the program should then also exit wi

Some nice stuff, but also some stuff, where things get easier if you just switch to a language with less caveats (like Python). My rule of thumb is to use Bash to write simple scripts, if they fit on the command line and have just one level

It has to be open-source (meaning (A)GPL, MIT, BSD, Apache, etc.) to be even considered by bigger organizations (especially in Europe). I worked with medium and large organizations and if you're fully open-source you can even get fun

So, how's the state of Elm? I am familiar with all the social media drama on Elm - are serious things missing, or is it possible to write competitive software (you may define that as you wish) and using the web elements FFI, if things

Oh, no I get it. It's true, the original stable diffusion repo does have filters, however there are many versions that you can run locally, usually with the filters turned off.

What do you mean, without filters? Stable diffusion does not have any filter as far as I know.

That's a cool story. Ardour is awesome and shows that specialized niche software can compete or even out-compete commercial proprietary software (like QGIS in the GIS space). I hope it will be around for a long time and it's a nic

On-topic: It's true, basic design often correlates with better content. Off-topic: The author is one of the orignal authors of Gforth, one of the main Forth implementations.
