I think there’s some risk with this though too - more and more is behind the enterprise tier. People try to work around this in various ways but its an unsatisfying experience. For e.g. trying to enforce merge request approval with pipeline

In practice the library ecosystem is just way behind Python. Maybe after you’re trying to optimise once you’ve worked out how to do stuff, but even the Langchain Go port is wayyyyy behind.

I live in a city with trams in the UK and that’s not how it works. There are sections that run on dedicated train lines, and sections where it runs on the street. Where it runs on the streets, priority is given over cars by switching traffi

Much of that depends on country for usage. In the U.K. when handwriting I think dd/mm/yyyy is much more common than dd.mm.yyyy

Other thing is that when you’re VAT registered, as a buyer of parts you reclaim VAT on things you purchase as inputs. So the tax on the final product is what matters. With US sales taxes you accrue tax all the way up the chain.

It’s interesting because BBC Sounds replacing iPlayer Radio was one of the worst redesigns I’ve ever seen for discoverability. Even now, several years on, it’s considerably worse. Whatever the technical merits of the migration, finding radi

You cant use the embeddings/vector search stuff this refers to in self hosted anyway, it’s only implemented in their Atlas Cloud product. It makes it a real PITA to test locally. The Atlas Dev local container didn’t work the same when

Australia’s economy is propped up by the export driven mining industry. It’s not really a fair comparison.

> working for Rolls Royce in the middle of nowhere Most people I know who ended up at RR live in Nottingham or the Peak District and commute in to Derby. Appreciate that’s perhaps not as exciting as London but it’s hardly a shit hole up

I’m 33, in the U.K. and my marginal tax rate is currently 66.7%, because the support you get for having children gets withdrawn between £60000 and £80000. If a promotion came up I would take it but it’s also at a point where I’m considering

I used it for this during my PhD: https://github.com/rpep/fmmgen and found it very powerful. I have in the past used Mathematica, which I did think was more powerful for symbolic math to be honest, but it had the downs

There are linear scaling DFT codes but they’re not available under open source licensing, only a strange license: https://onetep.org/

It depends on how much you want to rely on Mixins and using Serializer classes to do more than just serialise JSON. Neither of those are compulsory to use, and the more you lean into them the more inheritance you’re forced to do as soon as

Bonds are much less risky too. So when interest rates were low, it made sense for investors to put money into companies because with bonds you got a tiny return guaranteed vs a high risk but potentially large payoff. Now, bonds are guarante

ModelManagers are directly coupled to one model though. You mix concerns if you need to reference other models in them. For e.g. say you have a User model and a corresponding “Profile” model. If you need to create the profile object when th

CBV doesn't require you to do anything in particular other than implement retrieve/list/etc. methods on the GenericViewSet as needed, and get/post/etc. on GenericAPIView. You can use the convenience methods in Djang

I disagree with the idea of not having a service layer at all, because in practice, changing your data model in some way is actually pretty common, even if the API remains the same so the data coming in/out isn't changing. I'

I had exactly the same thing last year with a previous long departed staff member having forked django-flex-fields into their personal GitHub and having made substantial changes. Porting to Django 3.2 then became a huge and costly project i

In the U.K. it is not normal to go for an annual examination at all. Here, once you hit 40, you get an examination every 5 years unless you have some specific health condition which would requires you to be seen more frequently.

That’s great! Never seen this library before. It’s much neater than the other approaches I’ve seen/used.

It’s considerably more onerous than just compiling to a single/multiple microarchitecture(s) though. Plus when you do this, you need to split out this code to be conditionally compiled so that you can support other architectures like A

I dont much like this article since SIMD is not “niche” as the author says, even if people aren’t aware of it. It’s hard to pick up a single piece of software and say that “yes my overall workload overall will improve” by turning it on, but

I’ve experimented with it a bit and found it can’t really do anything you might consider specialist. If I ask it detailed questions about the topic I did my PhD on, it can’t answer correctly. I worked on fluid dynamics for a couple of years

That’s interesting since I threw some questions at it about Django and I didn’t think it gave very idiomatic patterns for it.

It’s hard to say without specifics but most BLAS/LAPACK implementations today aren’t written in Fortran, they just provide a Fortran interface - it’s worth noting that BLAS/LAPACK original implementations were written in the 1970s
