Re:Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS on Thursday January 08, 2026 @06:36PM (#46548083)
If the description for each tier is correct then it seems like Google AI Studio is an Ambassador only ($2,500 per month). This tier includes your company logo on the homepage. The Partner tier ($5,000 per month) includes placing your logo at the top of the sponsor list and Google AI Studio is at the end of the sponsor list.

Edit

Looking at the tailwind.css repo[1] they are a Partner. Not sure why they are at the end of the sponsor list in that case. Though now I look at the bottom of the sponsors page I see they repeat the Sponsors again at the bottom and directly indicate each companies support tier.

Re:enclose.horse on Tuesday January 06, 2026 @10:15AM (#46513298)
I'm happy not knowing myself but the answer can be found easily in DevTools. All the max scores are there (for current and previous days only).
Re:enclose.horse on Tuesday January 06, 2026 @09:38AM (#46512812)
A very fun game - it took quite a bit of fiddling to get an optimal solution using an LLM. Interesting as I haven't tried using them for 'unique' algo problems much. And then the day 9 puzzle broke my original solver (I had bounded areas that were unreachable to the horse so didn't actually score). Will be interesting to see whether the solver works on day 10.

It would be interesting to be able to change the wall budget for each puzzle to add some variation (with a max limit).

Re:Can Bundler be as fast as uv? on Thursday January 01, 2026 @06:21PM (#46459330)
> uv ignores pip’s configuration files entirely. No parsing, no environment variable lookups, no inheritance from system-wide and per-user locations.

Stuff like this sense unlikely to contribute to overall runtime, but it does decrease flexibility.

Astral have been very clear that they have no intention of replicating all of pip. uv pip install was a way to smooth the transition from using pip to using uv. The point of uv wasn't to rewrite pip in rust - and thankfully so. For all of the good that pip did it has shortcomings which only a new package manager turned out capable of solving.

> No bytecode compilation by default. pip compiles .py files to .pyc during installation. uv skips this step, shaving time off every install.

... thus shifting the bytecode compilation burden to first startup after install. You're still paying for the bytecode compilation (and it's serialized, so you're actually spending more time), but you don't associate the time with your package manager.

In most cases this will have no noticeable impact (so a sane default) - but when it does count you simply turn on --compile-bytecode.

Re:Vietnam Airlines Data Breach on Saturday October 11, 2025 @09:54AM (#45549176)
Really not sure - my partner is Vietnamese (dual citizenship) but we don't live there. We flew Vietnamese Airlines for 4 flights in the last month (2 international). I'd like to think we'd receive an email about this in any case - so far only an email from HIBP.
Re:Vietnam Airlines Data Breach on Saturday October 11, 2025 @06:52AM (#45548105)
Haven't heard a word from Vietnam Airlines - my whole family are members. Interesting to see how a Vietnamese organisation handles this type of incident.
Changing your password wouldn't help in this case. They used lastpass to store their crypto wallet seed phrase - this can't be changed. They would have to move to a new wallet and pay transfer fees in the process.
Re:ChatGPT: Fear Litany on Tuesday June 20, 2023 @02:45AM (#36400543)
Works in a Scottish accent too.

Certainly! Here's the Litany of Fear written phonetically in a Scottish accent:

"Ah maunae fear. Feer is the leel-deeth that brangs total obleetiration. Ah will face mah feer. Ah will pemreet it tae pass ower me an throo me. An when it hus gaun past, Ah will turn the inner ee tae see its path. Whaur the feer hus gaun, there will be naethin'. Only Ah will remain."

Very cool - I used a website with a custom qr code generator [1] and some hacky RPA tool about 8 years ago to create custom QR codes for each guest at our wedding. My wife created a wedding logo and we had that in the middle of our QR code - it worked well. The QR code was a personalised URL for each guest's rsvp which used a URL shortener [2] installed on our wedding domain (hosted on a free micro AWS instance).

Was a fun way to do my part for our wedding planning.

Glad I didn't take part in a promotion they offered last week for 25% off giftcards via ShopBack. Looks like a dodgy way to milk money off their customers.
The app was Google Podcasts [0].

[0] - https://podcasts.google.com/

This reminded me of when I started listening to a new podcast and also tried a new podcast app at the same time. The podcaster had this unusual editing style where he'd cut all the pauses out of his podcast and I really grew to love it. It was only when I tried a different podcast that did the same thing that I realised I had set the app to cut out all of the silences.

After that I've been unable to go back to normal speed podcasts - I just don't have the time or patience.

I see what you did there but for me at least it's not Rankine.
Re:We lost 54k GitHub stars on Friday April 15, 2022 @09:28AM (#31039995)
An interesting thought experiment - how many of us would be here at all if not for alcohol? Ignoring butterfly effect aspects, the number of people who were only conceived due to decisions made under the influence of drugs would surely be very large even today, let alone prior to the availability of birth control.

Re:Diminishing returns of static typing on Monday October 02, 2017 @06:27PM (#15388499)
I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean invented in a literal sense. The phrasing implies a meaning of reinvented.
Talking about share prices is pointless without referring to number of shares. Tesla wouldn't be worth 16 times more than Ford just because their share price was 16 times higher. Tesla's market cap being $11B higher than Ford is surprising but then Tesla has momentum that investors are factoring in to the potential future value of the company. Ford has cash-flow but is stagnant; Tesla announced in May that they doubled their Revenue from 1st quarter 2016. The challenge for traditional car companies is that their new competitor is acting and being treated by investors as a speculative stock.

Also, in your comparison of the financials you have called Tesla's after tax income for 2016 their revenue. And Fords capex for 2016 was just under 7B. From where did you source those figures?
