Thanks Astral team! We use Pydantic heavily, and it looks like first class support from Ty is slated for the stable release, we'd love to try it. While we wait... what's everyone's type checking setup? We run both Pyright and

The ‘with evidence’ part is key as simonw said. One anecdote from evals at Cleric - it’s rare to see a new model do better on our evals vs the current one. The reality is that you’ll optimize prompts etc for the current model. Instead, if a

This website is pure nostalgia <3, pretty much every corporate page in the 90s looked like this! I was half disappointed they're using <div>'s and CSS for layout and not a bunch of <table>'s.

“But drugmakers also faced changes to the Medicaid rebate program that would have likely cost them hundreds of millions of dollars each if they didn’t lower their list prices.“ This should have been the opening paragraph.

This was a fascinating read for a totally unexpected reason. I’ve spent most of my life in countries where the metric system is used for distance, weight, temperature etc. This year I’ve had to travel a lot to the US for work and found the

you're right, its a few scrolls down. It used to be right at the top, so it became a learned behaviour for me to go their site and quickly check the cost of a transfer versus what my bank offers me.

I noticed an immediate loss of functionality via this redesign. The previous home page let me calculate quickly how much it would cost to do a transfer - arguably the PRIMARY value of the service. now it’s replaced with two CTA buttons to s

I use miniconda and have had no major issues. I’m curious if anyone here switched from conda to an alternative and had a better experience.

Chile has a great system which guarantees a free bank account linked to your national ID called Cuenta RUT. It has some limits like only a debit card and a max value you can store there but I think it’s a fantastic idea. You just need to w

I can see MongoDB. How did you find the performance of running FDB as a Redis alternative vs actual Redis?
17.
by shrumm 5y ago
That's disappointing. CouchDB itself has also dropped off the radar these days which may have been a consideration too in terms of funding ROI.

I was wondering who else uses FDB beyond Apple and Snowflake. Found that CouchDB is rewriting their storage layer to use FoundationDB for their v4 release. That said I couldn’t find much info on progress or release dates. https:/&#x2F

fair. just to clarify though - i find the expectation to be always online / checking work email at all hours also a sign of a toxic workplace. definitely could have phrased my original comment better.

it’s also worrying this person was checking his email at 1130pm.

To most people, it's not Nomad vs Kubernetes - it's a choice between Nomad vs Managed Kubernetes. All major cloud providers offer a managed kubernetes service at minimal added cost to running the worker VMs yourself. With managed

I don't think this is a great example. The Objective-C to Swift transition going smoothly is only because of Apple's almost total control of the ecosystem (I mean this positively). Apple is automatically the loudest voice in the r

Maybe I'm reading too much into this - but I found it significant that the beta is starting as Windows only. This was obviously the norm in the 90s and 2000s. Then the Mac started gaining mindshare after OS X with the dev community. T
