I'm assuming they mean founders@<their-domain.com>.
I love that someone is actively working on components in the python space. Coming back to python after years in the js ecosystem I've found templates really cumbersome to work with, especially not having type system support. I know there have been some attempts at JSX in python over the years but those projects all seem dead.

My advice to the OP, is to break out the component piece of the framework into a standalone lib that other frameworks can use. I think it'll be much easier to gain adoption that way.

In the agile/scrum world people often do a daily "standup" meeting where you go over what you did yesterday and plan on doing today.

Many of the teams I've worked with recently have moved to doing this async with a "standup" message in slack etc.

I recently built a cli called "standup" which given a git sha, will pass the diffs + commit messages to an LLM and produce a standup message.

I still edit it a little but it saves time and means I never forget about stuff unless ofc it's not tracked by git.

I've found it's autocomplete really bad. It often hallucinates import paths and other illegal operations. It's not clear to me why it can't leverage the LSP better.

I had a good chuckle at this.

I just moved to the USA from Europe and have found sms/mms to be annoying. I'm consistently missing texts especially mms. Maybe my settings are slightly off or the payload is exceeding MMS size limits but it's way less reliable than Whatsapp. Everyone seems to use iPhones so they don't hit this issue until they text an android user like me.

I've been building up a vintage Fuji and have been using Sheldon's site to find data on old standards. It's been incredibly useful. On a similar note I've also used https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/home.html to look up derailleur specifics there is a lot of info there.

Might be a silly question but how does one know this is the legit rule set and not gpt generating a believably fake one?
I had a quick look at the code to understand what (sort of) meant. It's appending to a file and then reading it back and looking for the key line by line so it's O(n). I'm not sure about redis internals but I imagine its using some search tree for saving to disk which will likely be O(log n). So in a benchmark with more data redis should win by exponential margins. Ofc if you are only storing 100s of keys then this is a good approach.
Re:Improving code review time at Meta on Friday November 18, 2022 @03:54AM (#33652070)
I think you are misinterpreting the term "diff". Near the beginning of the article they describe it "At Meta we call an individual set of changes made to the codebase a “diff.” So diff == PR.
I've been building a basic sqlite like database [1] to improve my understanding of relational dbs. It's still early days but it's been fun using different data structures than I typically do in my day job.

Looks really neat. Anyone know of a similar neovim/vim plugin?
Is the code open source? I've been wanting to build something similar but with the option translate the text, to help with language learning.

Wasn't tangram previously an easy to use ML tool? I thought the product looked pretty neat, would be interested in reading a post on the pivot if there is one.
Re:Show HN: Four years of profitable side-projects on Tuesday December 29, 2020 @08:59PM (#25577479)
What are you using to track your time? I've tried multiple times but never managed to build a habit, any tips?

Ask HN: Anyone using DartLang for serverside work?

I hadn't looked at https://dart.dev/ in ages, but it looks pretty good these days. I've tried it out very briefly and it has a dynamic feel when developing but can be easily compiled to stand-alone executable, which I really like. Anyone have any real world experience with using it on the backend? How did it go?

Great idea! I've just recently setup a veggie patch, I can't believe I used to pay for my greens.

From the home page "Between 1989 and 2005, the price of fruits and vegetables in the US increased by 75 percent." Is that corrected for inflation?
