This must be exhausting for the Automattic staff who just want to get on with their jobs.

This is RWNJ garbage dressed up in false "think tank" legitimacy.

Who are you to tell people what to be proud of, and and what to want to share?

I like whimsical applications like this. Thank you so much.

For those who want to try this out quickly, `uvx --from flower-garden-cli garden` works perfectly.

Because in a few months, people won't remember the details, but they will remember "the time the Wordpress guy abused his influence to damage the Wordpress ecosystem".

My Compuserve username is permanently burned into my brain: 100131,756. And my password was the wonderfully evocative "spite:ambush".

You can configure almost everything using an app.json file.

This is not open source.

Your original comment was speaking in general terms, about all Sharepoint services. Not your specific deployment. Details matter or your argument falls down.

As for concurrency, read my comment again, I use the specific word.

These assertions are just not true. I'm working right now on a document with coworkers, concurrently, via a Sharepoint server. Change tracking is enabled and can even be enabled by default by the Sharepoint admin.

I share a lot of your sentiment about open formats in previous comments, but this is classic FUD and demonstrably wrong.

Hi Todd!

Some thoughts on this from my perspective as a white, European, who was graciously invited to speak at DjangoCon Africa. I am not involved at all with the PSF, but my company has given the PSF money in the past.

I think that I could sense the slight uncertainty about the conference, and the post above had made plain why. Considering what more could have been done if that uncertainty was resolved more quickly, the PSF’s procrastination (which is a generous interpretation, a less generous interpretation could be “tactical stonewalling”) is very disappointing.

I generally supports PSF initiatives, I hope they will answer publicly and if necessary make commitments to improve their communications and processes. The PSF need to recognise the pent-up demand for support and financial aid outside of the Anglosphere. With good leadership they could make a huge contribution.

I appreciate the difficult situation that the organisers are now in: it takes courage to call out poor behaviour.

This doesn’t diminish the organisers or the event in any way: it was a huge success from my perspective as an attendee. DjangoCon Africa was the most invigorating conference experience I have had in years.

Yes. Since Gnome 44.

It's a shame that for a GUI toolkit, there are no screenshots, either on Github or the official project website. It's very difficult to evaluate this based on descriptions alone.

Does anyone have any examples of promoting to feed such a large amount of tokens? For example, would you use something like “I am going to send you an entire codebase, with the filename and path, followed by the file content. Here is the first of 239 files: …”

It's not about generating code which may or may not be correct. It's about being free to use a new wave of tools which allows engineers to try many approaches and analyse results at warp speed. The engineers (and organisations) which can capture this velocity will have a huge advantage over those who do not.

I understand that it would be nice for the industry to behave within the law when it comes to IP and copyright. But historically, that isn't the case. Google v Oracle re: Java. Zenimax V Occulus. Samsung v Apple. Microsoft v Motorola. Companies will happily look the other way when it comes to IP if it means capturing more of the market.

It's the reality of the marketplace. I'd like to change it too.

The "long game" becomes short if your organisation is out-executed by a competitor who isn't as conservative in approach.

The collapse won't be technical, as I'm sure the engineers which remain can keep the systems running.

The collapse will happen due to the lack of remaining moderators. Twitter will become completely toxic to advertisers, politicians and influencers, who won't want to remain on the platform. Hate, antisemitism, and unmanaged CSE and SE material are growing.

There was an interesting BBC story about this today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-64804007

This is great. I’ve spent some of the holidays implementing a system for managing a games backlog.

What did you use for the cover art and other data? I’ve been using the IGDB API (provided by Twitch? Maybe owned by Amazon/Twitch?), and it’s been awkward to use to say the least.

What is the downside for a user to have a few minutes of downtime?

What is the upside for HN to add this engineering complexity to avoid a couple of minutes of downtime?

Ask Reddit at /r/cableporn. They will be thrilled to have you.

All vehicles, no matter how old, or what form of propulsion, are tracked via the ANPR systems which have been built over the last three decades.

This is certainly true in Europe, though I understand that those networks aren't as mature in the USA yet (anecdotal, and I could be very wrong about that).

I've yet to hear about any vehicles with 'kill switches'. Is there any evidence of this, or is it just a possibility?

Because in the current environment it's easy to leverage VC money to stay just-ahead in the user-acquisition race, while the early employees extract very nice salaries and build their networks -- which they can use to find their next role when the gravy train ends.

It really doesn't matter a bit if the product survives in the marketplace or not. It just needs to 'succeed' in the short term.

As a parent, the idea of delegating my child’s attention to a third party, VC funded company seeking profit is extremely distasteful.

I don’t want my child to become accustomed to living with their activities being monitored (and presumably used to build a profile which outlines their preferences) in exchange for succeeding in their chores.

The dystopian in me sees this is a child’s gateway to joining the depersonalised workforce, trained that validation comes from completing their tasks and seeking the hollow reassurance of a gamified system.

I’m sure you have worked hard on your product but this is a horrifying end state.

I think this is incorrect. There is even an older blog post (2016) where Pyston explicitly benchmarks Numpy: https://blog.pyston.org/2016/11/11/pyston-0-6-released/

I'd be interested to better understand the timeline around this statement:

"Metaserver was stuck on a deprecated legacy framework that unsurprisingly had poor performance and caused maintenance headaches due to esoteric bugs. For example, the legacy framework only supports HTTP/1.0 while modern libraries have moved to HTTP/1.1 as the minimum version."

Dropbox has been around for a lot of years, and raised a lot of cash; was it only recently that they could pay down this technical debt? Were they really so busy in other areas that this was allowed to fester?

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed using simpleisbetterthancomplex over the years.

I run a Django development agency, and I've passed around links to your tutorials more times than I can reliably estimate; hundreds of times :)

It's a great resource, thank you for it.

I guess investors suffer from FOMO just like the rest of us.

I live in Blackpool.

On Sunday, I was walking north from North Pier, slightly below the sea wall; with the sound of the waves rolling over the vast beach (rated as "Excellent"). There was pure January light reflecting from those incredible hills of Cumbria, and I had 11 miles of immaculate footpaths ahead of me.

You can find dreary anywhere, but also incredible beauty if you look; Blackpool, or Paris, or anywhere inbetween.
