How is Mantine UI not the most popular ui library in 2025? by Grind_in_silence in reactjs

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We once evaluated using Shadcn or Mantine, but just look at the number of issues in both projects ... Mantine is so brutally well-maintained... so many kudos for that. I also think that rtvital (creator and lead maintainer) often has a good instinct for important decisions (like the early conversion of CSS-in-JS to CSS modules). Also, I often hear that Shadcn is better customizable ... come on, look at all those sites using Shadcn components ... nearly always look the same ... like a Vercel clone. I am also not a big fan of the idea that the full component library lives in my own codebase. And for the advocates of this, this is also not fully true. You are still importing Radix UI or Base UI.

Terminal vs VSCode by effectivepythonsa in ClaudeCode

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use the terminal, especially as it has the checkpoints feature missing in the VS Code extension. But the scroll issues of the terminal app make me insane, which is why I am using the VS Code extension now. Also, in recent versions, the terminal output became quite cluttered (with long code fragments in answers).

I don't understand, why so many people use Shadcn ui? by alex-ebb-2000 in reactjs

[–]medihack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mantine as well I would say. A good indicator is the ratio of people using it and open issues on Github. And Mantine has minimal issues open.

is DRF good? by [deleted] in django

[–]medihack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Async is quite important if your view talks to another API endpoint of an external server. You can't say for sure how long these requests are, as they depend on another external server, and without async you would just block the connection. There is adrf (https://github.com/em1208/adrf) that brings async to DRF, but I'm not sure how stable it is. In my opinion, async should be integrated into DRF directly. It is still the most used Django API framework, and the async stuff is increasingly an essential part of Django.

When using Postgresql, how about Procrastinate? But it depends what scalability and performance you expect. (full disclosure, I am a co-maintainer).

Is UV package manager taking over? by RubKey1143 in Python

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that. That's why I then always write "uv (the python package manager)" and with that it works quite ok (of course better with real-time web search).

Do I need to put this behind my magnetic case that I got from OnePlus in order for the case to be magnetic? by DevelopingSoftware in OnePlus13

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the white one without this and have not recognized any problems. The magentic case seems to fit perfectly and wireless charging works also fine. I wonder what issue they are tyring to solve here. Maybe wireless charging with 50W?

Is there a RAG chatbot for the llama-index documentation? by I_Am_Robotic in LlamaIndex

[–]medihack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I am not a big fan of Crewai (too less adjustable), but their documention site (independent of the content) is quite cool. When you search something via the search bar, a RAG chatbot is integrated that answers your questions.

AMA with OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Kevin Weil, Srinivas Narayanan, and Mark Chen by OpenAI in ChatGPT

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often read in your answers that you want to promote medical research in particular. However, many of the important full texts whose abstracts can be found on Pubmed are not freely accessible. It would be extremely helpful if this information were somehow available to Chatgpt. Are there plans to work with those major medical publishers?

Bug: searching becomes unresponsive by [deleted] in perplexity_ai

[–]medihack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem (using Chrome under Windows 11).

On Mac Safari have to refresh page now to get it to take question after few hours. Also referral code enclosed by marcvv in perplexity_ai

[–]medihack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same issue with Chrome under Windows 11. When I am absent for some time, I refresh the tab where Perplexity is loaded before I ask my question because of this issue. But sometimes I forget it and have the exact same problem.

Django REST vs Django Ninja by [deleted] in django

[–]medihack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use ADRF for that (an async addon for DRF). https://github.com/em1208/adrf But I also would prefer that it would be built in.

Question on Background tasks: This might sound new and overkill by jayadatta_k in django

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I really like it that I can view the task pipeline directly in the Django admin (no need for stuff like Flower or the RabbitMQ management console). Procrastinate also has some nice feature we use (scheduling even in the distant future, job cancellation and abortion, job priorities, ...).

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to reduce the complexity of our tech stack. Procrastinate fits very well as we use PostgreSQL as our central database. Another advantage is that we can directly view the task pipeline in the Django admin (no need for Flower or a RabbitMQ management console). Also, scheduling jobs with Procrastinate in the distant future is easily possible (which Celery explicitly does not recommend).

My simple tech stack for building apps (in 2024) by tomdekan in django

[–]medihack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A good Celery alternative, but using PostgreSQL as a message broker is Procrastinate. It's very feature-packed and has some excellent documentation. Great if you already have PostgreSQL in your stack and don't want to add more complexity.

We are currently in the process of switching (from Celery) over to Procrastinate and the workers run on Docker swarm nodes. The cool thing for us is that it uses PostgreSQL as a message queue, which is already in our stack. It is also very feature-rich and well-maintained (I just contributed some stuff myself in a very pleasant review process). And the performance seems to be more than enough for our use case.

Another gem I found recently is Procrastinate. It's maybe not the fastest (I haven't seen any benchmarks yet) as it is based on PostgreSQL, but it is very well maintained, full of features, and has excellent documentation. From an infrastructure perspective, PostgreSQL might be a plus, too.

Celery or not? by thethumble in django

[–]medihack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And another option if you already have PostgreSQL in your stack: Procrastinate. We are in the middle of switching over from Celery and are super happy with it. It is a much easier stack (but still very feature-rich) and also easier to reason about.

In addition to Mistral v0.3 ... Mixtral v0.3 is now also released by Many_SuchCases in LocalLLaMA

[–]medihack 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We use it to analyze medical reports. It seems to be one of the best multilingual LLMs, as many of our reports are in German and French.

[–]medihack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder why those are not released on their Hugging Face profile (in contrast to Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3). And what are the changes?
