DetachHead (maintainer of basedpyright) has criticized the TSP before:

- https://docs.basedpyright.com/v1.40.2/type-server/

- https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/discussions/718...

Ty (the type checker maintained by astral) however will apparently support the TSP: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/23432

I hate AI written slop as well, but this blog post doesn't read like one?
Re:Postgres SELECT DISTINCT Does Not Scale on Saturday September 26, 2026 @06:02AM (#49854983)
I haven't followed the latest Postgres releases, but I thought it would be added by now - Timescale/Tigerdata have already implemented a similar index scan in Postgres: https://www.tigerdata.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-....

The post does highlight that in the introduction:

> It doesn't do DAGs as well. I often find myself preferring Dagre or ELK when I want a long flowing graph.

Re:PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @03:00PM (#48481043)
Why the snark comment? The PgDog project has been around for a while, it's not vibe coded.
Thank you for the comment. This is not in my area of expertise, so I hope you can clarify - how does one test that "mitochondria and other energy-related biochem phenomena work as expected"?
Re:Apache Iceberg on Sunday January 26, 2025 @03:22AM (#42828672)
I've been looking at Iceberg for a while, but in the end went with Delta Lake because it doesn't have a dependency on a catalog. It also has good support for reading and writing from it without needing Spark.

Does anyone know if Iceberg has plans to support similar use cases?

Wait, those high frequency sounds in Tokyo are teenage repellents? I thought they are bird/insect repellants. I could hear the sounds and was literally getting mini headaches walking around.
Hadn't heard of this before, nice! Do you happen to know how they create/generate the diagrams on their homepage?
Re:Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary on Tuesday April 23, 2024 @02:18AM (#40129047)
I just want to say - thank you! I've been using ZSH since it became the default on macOS and one thing that started annoying me recently is the slow startup time. Your snippet tangibly improved that.

Do you by chance have any good resources on optimising my config further?

It's literally the same library though

On the topic of AGSI, the company I work for published a Python client to work with their API in case you're interested: https://github.com/ROITI-Ltd/alsi-py

Edit: Correction, it's for ALSI, not AGSI, sorry about that. We should add AGSI now that the API is available.

It's not the year 2089, but the number of subjects (elderly individuals) which have been tested.
Hadn't thought about that! Thank you for the remark, will definitely keep it in mind.
Cool, thank you both for the information!
Looks great, thank you for sharing!

A question I have about macOS development - where should I start in order to learn how to make menu bar and shortcut driven UIs?

If it's not too much, could you share what's currently working for you?
Could you please elaborate more on this hypnosis?
I have AS as well! Sadly, I have not even researched stem cell treatment so I cannot help with your question. But if I may ask one of my own - what diet have you followed that has helped you with your symptoms. Also, are you taking biological drugs like Humira or Enbrel?
Re:What Is The Morning Writing Effect? on Saturday November 03, 2018 @07:09AM (#18369657)
There was this notion that at night the brain is more tired, meaning it cannot both focus on the code and daydream (or similar). From personal experience, this is at least partially true.
