> On correctness: LLMs may make mistakes. But these videos are code sitting in our repository, and we can maintain them. Every report and review becomes a fix in the source, and everyone who watches after that gets the…
So there's a bit of a misunderstanding here in the chain of blog posts that I can clear up. First, from this article: That’s the question I’ve been mulling over for days, because I don’t see how this action can make any…
What caught my eye in the article was the desire to have something that doesn't panic with a release profile, while allowing for panics in dev profiles. Based on other comments I think the general "allow use of std, but…
Sometimes science doesn’t have to be precise to demonstrate a result. Consider trying to measure feedback from a microphone and speaker. You don’t have to be an expert to know that there’s a quick change in system…
I made it through a few paragraphs before noping out because of how terrible this article is. Your comment made me go actually look to see what they could possibly be arguing against CICO. Turns out it’s nothing because…
“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” — Edsger Dijkstra
Also, for anyone not completely familiar with Erlang's terminology, the translation of "per process garbage collection" to Go would be "per goroutine garbage collection". As mentioned in a sibling comment, this allows…
FWIW, I’ve been working on a project that has transitioned from a standard-ish CMake super build to vcpkg and it has been a fantastic upgrade in terms of usability and reliability. There are huge swaths of the C++ lands…
Worrying about UUID collisions is like worrying about being hit in the head by a meteor. Sure, its technically possible, but it happens so rarely that worrying about a collision as a performance concern is just a…
From the article: That means it's totally normal to ship all kinds of really crazy looking stuff, and so when someone noticed that and decided to use that as their mechanism for extracting some badness from a so-called…
One more feature request is a “share score” text. Daily games like these are popular for bragging rights in group texts. I’d think something like percentage of song played before correct with total number of guessed…
We could, but it would certainly be less efficient than other approaches. I haven’t seen it brought up recently but there’s a simple quote that makes it easy to evaluate any sort of energy related discussion based on…
Not necessarily. There’s an entire class of dog breeds literally named “retriever”. A quick search shows the AKC saying the first retriever breed was from the 16th century which means humans have been selectively…
The issue with the JSON spec is that it's deceptively simple. For instance, this particular issue comes up relatively often. As you point out it's quite specific that a valid "JSON text" has a top level object or array.…
Yes and no. The most important part of replication is to have an algorithm that's capable of merging two document histories that are not identical. This core bit of CouchDB is quite important and often overlooked in…
As you say, its not so cut and dry. Gunicorn has only had a mailing list since about May. Most of our dev work is based in IRC or via the GitHub issues tracker. The three committers, @benoitc, @tilgovi, and @davisp have…
I managed to get an initial patch up here: http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=2
I see quite a few comments addressing the fact that there's no way to directly measure 'productivity' of a programmer. And there's also the questioning of whether the 10x figure is made up or not (Its not. There's…
The main two reasons that CouchDB doesn't use multiple files per database are system limits and increased complexity. CouchDB has a bit of an alternative design in that it accepts that people might be running a large…
In contrast with the author's point of view, there is research that suggests that the ability to program is dependent on an ability/desire to form consistent mental models. The actual paper is at [1] while Jeff Atwood's…
They're not guaranteed to be the primary revision for a document (ie, the last write could be listed as the conflict) but the data is still there so that client code can resolve the conflict. Also of note, if the edits…
Let me preference this as I'm not a Java guy, but I've been reading a bit since Oracle filed suit because of the ASF angle. From what I understand, the Apache Harmony project was doing a clean room implementation of the…
WebOb, Routes, SQLAlchemy, Mako. My favorite framework is no framework. The bottom line is that its a sliding scale. Django will give you a large amount of functionality for free but requires that you do things the…
I'm glad he updated it. A lot of people would've just left it. That said I also would've liked to see at least a note that he tried more than three workers and there wasn't an improvement. When you have an almost linear…
So you're saying that I can license my code under anything as long as I still follow the rules of the GPL... http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibrary... Does mention "or compatible license". And I'm…
