One of the most satisfying (and sad that it’s needed) GH CLI extensions I’ve (publicly) vibe coded has been https://github.com/Houstonwp/gh-down

Although I think I still ironically end up finding out about the outages on HN first.

This paper is from 2010. Can the OP discuss why this is relevant today.

Yes. It is awful. Good riddance.

Odd to me that you don’t let poetry create the venv? Why do this separately?

Our flow is similar: pyenv (windows and linux), pipx, poetry.

We’ve also defaulted poetry to utilize the current global version of Python and build the venv within the project folder.

Not sure why you put climate change in quotes, but it would be helpful to provide the prompt and the response. Without doing so and by using "The Woke Police" and "Thought Taliban", you, too, sound like you are coming directly from a political action group.

I figure it's part marketing and also part targeting the individuals most likely to upgrade. With an M2 I'm far less likely to pull the trigger.

M3 is absolutely impressive, but the event overall was... short? Uneventful? Underwhelming?

Biggest things for me are Thread support and ethernet in the larger model, and more importantly USB-C in the Siri Remote.

Still no built in AirTag though???

These are called mutual companies in the US — at least insurance — New York Life, Northwestern Mutual, MassMutual, etc

Didn't they also endorse PipEnv and that turned into a flop?

Copy excel shortcuts is smart, but no, this will not replace Excel. Transpile VBA into something like python, automagically open and translate Excel files, and then maybe, MAYBE you'd find a niche of other startups that don't want to integrate with the Microsoft stack. Otherwise, good luck.

I should have mentioned that we have developers on Windows, MacOS, and Linux -- which is possibly where my frustration comes from with the struggles of integrating Windows as a development environment.

I read elsewhere that authorities think the gun was homebuilt as guns are so rare and hard to get in Japan.

This is pretty absurd conclusions.

A few things: reporting lag for death claims are typically 3-18 months. Covid claims are obviously still occurring in 2021. It has been widely reported that non covid related deaths during the pandemic, specifically related to heart disease and diabetes, were much higher likely due to delayed medical consultation.

I didn’t take the time to read more of who this is but I question their understanding of how financials for life insurance work. “$6 billion increase in expenses is hard to weather.” Actually, no, it’s called reserves and you are statutorily required to hold them.

This seems like a puff piece of intellectual dishonesty to push an unsubstantiated claim that the covid vaccine is causing deaths, and there is some sort of conspiracy around it.

This looks great. I've thought about something similar to this for quite a while now. Column autocomplete is key for me from a quality of life perspective and to make it truly usable.

I'd absolutely love to see the next level of this pipeline be continued where something like Observable Plot or ggplot2 like functionality where you can take your pipeline data analysis and directly plot it to visualize it.

The tone of your comment is intentionally antagonistic, but I agree with the underlying concept.

I think we can see inflation as a direct result of excess globalism, especially lean supply chains, and changes in underlying customer demand, i.e., the basket of products consumers are wanting was different than pre-pandemic. All of these are supply side problems, but it seems to reason that at least part of the pent up demand is a result of new consumer cash. I'd argue it's a political scapegoat though.

You’ve said QE is the cause, but provide no evidence to back up these claims. Considering QE occurred multiple times after the 08 crisis, what makes this time different? Bold claims without much substance.

Good comments, Chris. I think the author has a little bit of nuance in that Julia isn't correct in the specific use cases he needs them to be. While your point is also well taken that Julia is correct in cases where other languages aren't as well.

I'm a little unfamiliar with the versioning in the package ecosystem, but would you say most packages follow or enforce SemVer? Would enforcing a stricter dependency graph fix some of the foot guns of using packages or would that limit composability of packages too much?

Viral frequents HN so I will be curious to see if he engages this directly in a productive manor.

There are many great qualities of Julia, and I've wanted to love it and use it in production. However, coming from the tooling and correctness of Rust leaves me thinking something is just missing in Julia. One of the links in the post references "cowboy" culture. While I don't think this is the correct nomenclature, there is a sense with looking at the package ecosystem and even Julia itself that makes me think of the pressure in academia to publish constantly. I'm not sure what to make of that, and it's simply a feeling.

GAAP is crap. Cash is king.

> On the other hand parquet becomes a turtle if one tries to squeeze i.e. 12k numerical columns into it.

I thought parquet was columnar stored? Is this a fault of parquet or just the shear number of columns trying to get accessed?

I agree with your general premise though. I'd rather take a dirty dataset, throw it into S3, spin up a Redshift cluster, do what I need, spin down the cluster. You can work with billions of records fairly easily with plain old SQL and c-store databases.

I wish this was more technical than saying “C++ and division of labor”.

Stanier's book should be required reading for anyone becoming a people manager for the first time. I cannot recommend it enough and regularly give it to new or aspiring managers.
