Took this class when it was offered for the first time when I was at CMU--it's a really great course and well organized!

I assume so that it can be sticky across invocations and is easy enough to debug using `go env`

huh, legit open source too with 'Affero-GPL'

folks who work on teams, with frequent diffs where the linter goes in CI and sometimes catches bugs: see flake8-bugbear et. al.

I got a 250x (4.5s -> 16.3 ms) speedup when using `ruff` in a real world use case. Highly recommend folks migrate from the usual combo of flake8 + isort + many flake8 plugins.

The common thread in the comments here deals with separating content from styling. I dealt with the same issue when I was applying to jobs and tweaked the `yaml-resume` project to suit my needs. [1] It lets you specify the content in a yaml file which then generated an html page that can be printed (sample output linked). [2]

This is a fantastic article! Though, for the first half, I do think folks would benefit from having a rough understanding of the nuances of hash maps, if I may plug my own rough notes [1]

Wow! This alone is enough to convince me to upgrade.

Any plans to add scrolling functionality to shortcat? I'd be able to move over completely from vimac if that gets added.

Exactly! My comment is not a ding on the product, but amazement at what a couple engineers with the right mindset can achieve with existing tools in this day and age.

This really feels like next level stuff--as Jobs would love to note, that's the magic of integration. But, it's really not novel--just someone putting together the building blocks of foundational ML models already out there.

I'm really excited to see version 2 and so on of this.

Surprised, stylometry is not mentioned once in the article. [1] Unmasking anonymous writers has a rich history, and there are approaches writers with a large corpus have taken to conceal their writing, as well as approaches folks have taken to deanonymize those same writers.

There is a surprising lack of pixar Cars references in this thread... it's where I was first exposed to counter-steering

I came across this article today when looking up how to differentiate lowercase upsilon and nu.

I wanted to check out the app and found it hilarious that I had to go through a rabbit hole of links to other articles about the app to actually get to a direct link to the app. lithub --> mentalfloss --> WaPo --> AppStore

Any idea why articles do this--is it for engagement or SEO?

This is neat--sounds similar to https://play.generative.fm/browse

Though, that service is completely free with a pay what you can model

meta question: how is it possible that this post has both a direct link and text?

If it's on the dark web then they probably know how to use 'ocrmypdf' as well (which uses tesseract under the hood).

Interesting--seems you have to retrain your "google-fu"

"meta programming python" does not give as good results as

https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=meta+programming+python

"how to implement a meta class in python"

https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=how+to+implement+a+meta+cl...

That's actually a Python convention issue rather than a Django issue. Python convention dictates preference for underscores. This is because dashes cannot be used in a module name.

A lot of this applies to traditional sports too, in fact more so since nearly every high school has a sports program. It's very rare for a high school to have an esports team.

These techniques work great, I've had success with pushing back against language in contracts like these even as an intern. Often times, after doing all the hard work of interviewing you, companies are willing to compromise, so they don't have to go back to square one.

Places this might not work are larger companies with armies of lawyers--you don't have leverage in these places, since if not you, they can find someone else to sign the contract.

I don't think the OP was referring to build pipelines, but rather continuous integration pipelines. Build in the sense: lint, install deps, and run tests.

The premise here is good, but instead of asking the same question again and again, I would rather supply more and more information until I get the answer I am looking for. (and jot down what prompting was required to get that answer) I agree with the sibling comment, otherwise this becomes a guess what I am thinking exercise.

This is really neat. I think if you had the geoguesser style of map or head-to-head competitions, it could really take off in the twitch streaming world.

This is why I will always pay for the latest version of Sublime Text. First to support indie developers, but second for the marvelous piece of software that allows me to browse gigabytes of data in a GUI.

My blog isn't all that amazing visually, but I'll use this to recommend fast pages. If you know a bit of coding and your goal is to write and not tinker, it's the perfect tool.

Well that's one helluva meet cute

Historia Civilis really is one of the most spectacular YouTube channels out there. Not much other content out there compares to his high quality research coupled with fantastic storytelling.

Once you've exhausted all of his videos, though, I would recommend Mike Duncan's History of Rome, an equally compelling podcast that cover Rome's rise in 753 b.c.e. to it's "fall" in 476 c.e. [1]
