Consider: a cheap VPS can have disk latency above 10ms while the in-datacenter LAN can be ~1ms.

ARM/RISC-V extensions may be another reason. If a wide-spread variant configuration exists, why not build for it? See: - RISC-V's official extensions[1] - ARM's JS-specific float-to-fixed[2] 1. https://riscv.atlass

This seems to be from astral, the organization behind ruff[1], uv[2], and rye[3] (all good things!). They seem to force using python -m pip on Windows since they don't ship pip.exe[4]? This is very interesting. From their doc[5] sinc

Lacking named tuple support is a deal-breaker for some projects. This is directly from their GitHub issues comments[1]: > Duplicate of #5613, still low priority, better use dataclasses, as suggested above. 1. https://github.co

TL;DR: Why not add a capability/permissions model to CI? I agree that pinning commits is reasonable and that GitHub's UI and Actions system are awful. However, you said: > Maybe accounts should even require ID verification This

TL;DR: Yes and it's creating "It's X and limited by Y, but it works" projects In web front-end, the same pattern crops up repeatedly. Two examples: * Elm[1]: It's brutally functional and limited by purity, but it wo

Line length is definitely configurable. All it takes is adding the following on pyproject.toml[1]: [tool.black] line-length = 100 Aside from matrix-like or column aligned data, the only truly awful thing I've encountered has b

My understanding of black is that it solves bikeshedding by making everyone a little unhappy. For aligned column readability and other scenarios, # fmt: off and # fmt: on become crucial. The problem is that like # type: ignore , those

TL;DR: Octo[1] and OctoJam were cozy little highlights despite the grimness of the pandemic years. Octo[1] targets variants of CHIP-8, an ancient virtual console. The language is so different from daily work that even its annoyances were re

TL;DR: How much of this is a potential class-action[1] and how much of this is failure to deliver on AI? Am I missing something? On one hand, I think I get it: Intel hasn't been a GPU company historically. On the other, this quotes see

I agree for smaller projects, especially personal ones. For larger projects, approaches like GitHub's web client + terminal interface might be the next best thing since grepping doesn't scale well. For better or worse, GitHub bran

TL;DR: Wi-Fi can already provide that signal. We can already get full 3D pose estimation from Wi-Fi. Whether that's a good thing is a separate topic, but there's a recent paper[1] which also has a poster page[2] and a youtube vide

Can I consider the UXF format stable? UXF was one of the intended eventual targets of a very bad font converter I need to eventually rewrite.

TL;DR: You may be right about LISP issues, but my intent was show how IO and social factors seem key to platform success I'll skip discussing Python for the moment because I think there are a lot of things wrong with it. If I try, we&#

TL;DR: Yes in JS & often elsewhere, so read The Grug-Brained Developer[1] to laugh about it Nearly 10 years ago, we had the left-pad incident[2]. As I post this, people are in a panic over a similar issue. This time it's called the

TL;DR: The TRS-80 Model 100[1] indeed looks closer than the AlphaSmart! If something like that TRS had e-ink, it might be what I'd had in mind. If you're familiar with the idea of the OLPC hardware[2], like that except: * More dur

TL;DR: I love this idea and have two questions: 1. For early iterations / similar projects, could all-metal screw terminals[1] accept power internally? 2. Would supporting UXN/Varvara[2] be an option? More on these questions below
