> Yeah we could just as easily drag our laptops into the kitchen but then you end up finding a comfy spot on the couch or for the kids in their rooms.

I've been feeling that: much about keeping my sanity in this age is about noticing those patterns we keep falling in and arranging for "easier" ways to fall into healthier patterns. The annoying thing is that it doesn't seem that those "unhealthy" patterns were that easy to predict in order to avoid. Like some 15 years ago would it have been as obvious that we would get to such a consistently predictable pattern of "comfy spot on the couch or bed" and the unhealthy social and personal repercussions of that?

I just wish I start being able to predict those pitfalls earlier than the current few years per tech evolution.

That might be true, but it is definitely not the world we live in.

solid piece of software

This is actually one creative idea, kudos. I encourage you to reach out to OP as he was asking for discussion in case he didn't see this comment. This is the only newer out of the box idea I saw in this thread
> There are already so many ways (and reasons) not to do free or open source software. People who find them convincing are using them.

To be honest, I don't think the space between GPL/MIT and commercial closed source is explored enough. I'm aware there's a few examples of things in between, but they are not common knowledge and they don't satisfy everyone. It is not a space that is easy to search online for established wisdom and comparisons in.

> Besides, why would "bad guys" be deterred by a license, anyway?

I imagine because we're talking about a subcategory of "bad guys" who still like to stay within the confines of the law (supposedly at least).

Re:We're Losing Our Voice to LLMs on Thursday November 27, 2025 @01:06PM (#46071711)
So in that case, would someone willing to publish LLM-speak under their name be similarly adopting that "voice".

Does that entail that LLMs are not in fact erasing our societal voices, only making it easier to adopt bland-corporate en-mass?

Re:We're Losing Our Voice to LLMs on Thursday November 27, 2025 @12:46PM (#46071556)
I don't find that current generation LLMs output such short sentences that would start with the same prefix such as "Your voice".

There was recently this link talking about AI slop articles on medium

https://rmoff.net/2025/11/25/ai-smells-on-medium/

He doesn't link many examples, but at the end he gives the example of an author pumping out +8 articles in a week across a variety of topics. https://medium.com/@ArkProtocol1

I don't spend time on medium so I don't personally know.

This is a valuable take tbh, I missed it.

Zig team ought to probably write about it in that manner.

I'm an experienced Julia developer with an appetite for performance challenges.

I'd be extra interested if the work involves any of the following:

  - Assessing different parallelization or threading strategies
  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to open source dependencies
But I'd also be willing to hop on a codebase that's anywhere from an Elixir microservice to C firmware.

I'm a swift learner, if you get me excited about your product/project, I'm confident I can pick up whatever technologies you use quickly.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2024) on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @05:56PM (#42322963)
Would you guys be interested in someone with pure julia experience, agility in digging into new fields, and vested interest in the topic? I'm having hard time picking one of the postings, but I think I could be a good fit.

SEEKING WORK | Ontario, Canada | Remote

I'm an experienced Julia developer with a enthusiasm for solving performance and optimization challenges.

I can help if you're looking for Julia expertise to help with any of the following:

  - Investigating long compilation or start-up times
  - Profiling and identifying performance bottlenecks
  - Low-level performance optimization for your simulation code
  - Assessing different parallelization or threading strategies
  - Increasing testing coverage to help with maintainability and robustness
  - Cleaning up prototype code to prepare for production or publishing as a package
  - Contribute to a dependency upstream to ease a pain point in your use case
I might also be able to help if you are:

  - Rewriting or redesigning from R/MATLAB to Julia/Python/Rust.
  - Having performance problems with your Python, Rust, MATLAB, or C code.
  - Want to investigate if leveraging GPU compute (CUDA) could be useful for your computations.
I've worked across a wide range of the Julia ecosystem, from high-level tasks such as extracting data from non-compliant csv, and writing custom Plots.jl recipes, to low-level work such as extending the mul! matrix multiplication interface with LAPACK, and investigating type-instabilities and inference problems using SnoopCompile and Cthulhu.

Think I might be able to help? Shoot me an email and let's find out.

Yay, nice! finally a simple cli for treesitter.

treesitter tech always seemed cool, but never felt I had access to it on my finger tips. one such tool is https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic (semantic diff)

will definitely be trying this out.

Re:IPyflow: Reactive Python Notebooks in Jupyter(Lab) on Wednesday May 10, 2023 @09:05AM (#35886771)
Yeah, Pluto rules!

After getting used to it with Julia I found it really jarring to go back to plain Jupyter (when I need python) where I have to keep re-executing the cells.

This is going to make that much less painful.

Yeah website is down. He never mentioned a trackpoint unfortunately.

But I guess theoretically someone could design one (╯°□°)╯ ┻┻ they are releasing hardware and software interface docs on github.

Wow RPI-based QMK-enabled input modules. That is something else.
