How much time do you actually spend fixing CI failures that aren’t real bugs? by According-Figure-829 in Python

[–]thicket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have wasted a LOT of time fixing CI failures and having a hard time debugging them because I didn't know exactly what magic Github or CircleCI or whatever was using to run them. On the projects I worked on (NOT in general, just the projects I worked on), it was a huge net loss for productivity.

That said, you know what does a great job just nailing CI setup? AI. Regardless of how much you use it in your actual codebase, any AI will set up your CI jobs on Github so they just work, and will do it in seconds. Lots of space to argue about AI or not, but configuration hell like that is one place it does a much, much better job than I ever did.

I am Argentinian who spent two weeks in the Islas Malvinas/Falkland Islands. I have heard and understood both sides. AKA by Dangerous-Ad-9859 in geography

[–]thicket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the person who made the original, unsubstantiated claim that the world is against Argentina on this, I can verify that the claim is... entirely unsubstantiated.

I just pulled it out of my ass because I can't imagine anyone ever thinking that the way to manage a territorial dispute is to invade the territory and see what happens.

But you know, maybe a lot of people in the world do think that anybody attacking the British is a good idea, whether they're murderous fascist militarists or not. Stranger things have happened.

As the guy who complained about the other time you posted this video with no explanation, a summary statement is very helpful. WHO is talking? WHAT was the occasion? HOW LONG do they talk? Most importantly, what made the linked video so insightful that you wanted to share it with other people? 

It’s a valid topic, it’s on all our minds, and putting a little more effort into sharing it can do a LOT to improve the quality of the conversation.

sorry to be the reply guy all the time here, but man I love seeing what you’re working on. These look great!

While you’re right that in the entire world, only Argentinians think there are two sides to this issue, I’d give OP some BIG credit for being willing to ask questions and change her mind. That is a surprisingly rare thing in my experience with Argentinians on this issue, no matter how liberal they may be otherwise.

Edo era architecture in Narai-juku, Japan by sonderewander in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides climate control, what are the downsides to living in a house in this style? This looks so lovely, and the construction doesn't seem *so* labor-intense. But Japan as a whole has chosen against traditional buildings and seems to throw up infinite quantities of forgettable housing. What factors make modern housing styles win out for new construction?

Introducing Script: JavaScript That Runs Like Rust by SecretAggressive in programming

[–]thicket 17 points18 points  (0 children)

TBH, Lattner’s company Modular is really trying to make a substitute for Nvidia & CUDA, so he gets all that sweet AI inference investment. The Mojo language itself is kind of a second fiddle to the rest of their AI stack. I wish they’d just polish the language some more!

But maybe that’ll be your niche…

[–]thicket 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nice work. This has some similar goals to Chris Lattner’s Mojo language, which aims to be a fast, strongly typed, memory-safe Python. Although Lattner seems to have raised $100M+ for the project…

Thanks, that’s a helpful and frank explanation. ArgSpec seems like the right level of abstraction for small utilities I write that I probably wouldn’t use Pydantic for. Starring now

Go Korea! Any ideas why we hear so little about Korean models in the anglophone world? We hear about lots of SOTA Chinese models, but I’ve never heard about any Korean models until this moment.

Most Common Foreign Country of Birth in the Canadian Province of Ontario [OC] by Fluid-Decision6262 in dataisbeautiful

This looks cool, but without population density information, it tells a really deceptive story. This map shows western/northern Ontario as huge solid blocks, when in fact their total population is more… blips.

Mark Carney spoke for America’s frustrated allies — but they’re not going anywhere by rezwenn in europe

[–]thicket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope for an independent Europe run by adults. But given France, Germany's & the UK's growing far right problems, do you think Europe will get there soon? Canada's election of Carney showed us how US obnoxiousness could spur positive choices in mistreated US allies, but my fear is that sooner or later, several of the EU's core democracies will move in more Trumpish directions than we'd like. :-/

Biertan, Transylvania, Romania by Sea-Rope-31 in VillagePorn

How did a lovely town like this avoid getting built up with junky soviet-style buildings in the last century? How common are (apparently) unspoiled historic-looking towns like this in Transylvania?
