Since then government responsibilities have grown as private industry has shirked it in the name of profit transfer to shareholders. There's also of course been wars of convenience.<p>The gap has been funded with money printing and deficit spending. Now we sit here and say "but all of their money would only fund things for eight months!" and forget <i>why</i> there's so much interest on loans to pay in the first place. | null | null | 41,790,383 | 41,789,751 | null | [

Relational databases are sticky in large part because the implementations are always getting faster and more sophisticated.<p>SQL being a declarative language means that applications built on top of it can relatively easily take advantage of new hardware and increasing parallelization without changing any code (in addition to all manner of new software tricks, compression/optimization/joins/etc). | null | null | 41,764,465 | 41,764,465 | null | null | null | null |

The 2->3 transition was awful and lead to a rift in the python community for years (still causes issues 15 years later). Maintainers seem happy to introduce breaking changes without major version bumps. It's not that performant of a language (slower than modern Ruby, for example).

41,790,774 | comment | dhruvrajvanshi | 2024-10-09T17:56:05 | null | I wonder about a Typescript with alternate design decisions.
The type system is cool and you can do a lot of compile time metaprogramming.
However, when there's a type error in computed types, it's a nightmare to visually parse<p><pre><code> type { foo: ... , bar: ..., ... } can't be assigned to type { foo: ..., bar: ... }. type { foo: ... bar: ..., ... } is missing the following properties from { foo: ..., bar: ..., ... }
</code></pre>
Apart from repeating roughly the same type 4 times (which is a UX issue that's fixable), debugging computed types requires having a typescript interpreter in your head.<p>I wonder if we had nominal runtime checked types, it could work better than the current design in terms of DX.
Basically, the : Type would always be a runtime checked assertion. Zod certainly fills that gap, but it would be nicer to have it baked in.<p>The type system would not be as powerful, but when I'm writing Kotlin, I really don't miss the advanced features of Typescript at all. I just define a data class structure and add @Serializable to generate conversions from/to JSON. | null | null | 41,764,163 | 41,764,163 | null | [

This is the language forcing sane coding practices, since you always include what should be cached.

... raise TypeError
... except ValueError:
... print("keke")
... raise
...<p>TypeError will bubble up.

I took a 2 GB MKV file of about 30 minutes of footage I have laying around and re-encoded it with a bunch of different codecs:<p><pre><code> codec method time speed file size of original
H264 GPU 04:47 200 fps 1583 MB 77 %
H264 CPU 13:43 80 fps 1237 MB 60 %
H265 GPU 05:20 206 fps 1280 MB 62 %
H265 CPU ~30:00 ~35 fps would take too long
AV1 GPU 05:35 198 fps 1541 MB 75 %
AV1 CPU ~45:00 ~24 fps would take too long
</code></pre>
So for the average person who wants a reasonably fast encode and has an inexpensive build, many codecs will be too slow on the CPU. In some cases, close to an order of magnitude, whereas if you do encode on the GPU, you'll get much better speeds, while the file sizes are still decent and the quality of something like H265 or AV1 will in most cases seem perceivably better than H264 with similar bitrates, regardless of whether the encode is done on the CPU or GPU.<p>So, if I had a few hundred of GB of movies/anime locally that I wanted to re-encode to make it take up less space for long term storage, I'd probably go with hardware H265 or AV1 and that'd be perfectly good for my needs (I actually did, it went well).<p>Of course, that's a dedicated GPU and Intel Arc is pretty niche in of itself, but I have to say that their AV1 encoder for recording/streaming is also really pleasant and therefore I definitely think that benchmarking this stuff is pretty interesting and useful!<p>For professional work, the concerns are probably quite different. | null | null | 41,782,863 | 41,780,929 | null | null | null | null |

This caused a whole lot of breaking in some areas because versioneer (a package for determining a package version from git tags) used it (in code that was placed inside your package, and so couldn't be solved by just upgrading versioneer).<p>Also, I'm starting to get warning about something in tarfile that I will need to track down: <a href="https://peps.python.org/pep-0706/" rel="nofollow">https://peps.python.org/pep-0706/</a> | null | null | 41,790,331 | 41,788,026 | null | null | null | null |
41,790,794 | comment | kindred | 2024-10-09T17:58:04 | null | Hey, thanks so much for the feedback. A lot of valid points there, a few of which we’ve voiced internally too. Definitely room for improvement when it comes to the landing page, target market and providing clarity on the product straight away and so on. | null | null | 41,770,056 | 41,767,960 | null | null | null | null |
41,790,795 | comment | WuxiFingerHold | 2024-10-09T17:58:11 | null | Deno 2 with full Node compatibility is huge, presupposed it works reliably without runtime surprises. I wouldn't mind if I get a warning when a Node package is not supported, but runtime must be rock solid, especially with server packages like node-postgres (pg).<p>Apart from this little doubt, I love it:<p>The APIs and std lib are so extensive that we don't need huge amounts of third party packages. Typescript support is great. Deno actually can check Typescript (not just run it by stripping it as Node or Bun). Compiling (bundling) is another great feature. | null | null | 41,789,551 | 41,789,551 | null | [

41,790,796 | comment | Timon3 | 2024-10-09T17:58:13 | null | Really? For example under "Main concepts" on the "Schemas" site[0], I see stuff like this:<p>- I support the creation of schemas for any primitive data type.<p>- Among complex values I support objects, records, arrays, tuples as well as various other classes.<p>- For objects I provide various methods like pick, omit, partial and required.<p>- Beyond primitive and complex values, I also provide schema functions for more special cases.<p>Same for "Mental model", "Pipeline", "Parse data", "Infer types", "Methods" and "Issues" - I'll assume the other sections also follow this style. That's all not showing up for you?<p>While the LLM suggestion is nice, it's not something I'm comfortable with unless hallucinations are incredibly rare. Why would I use a library whose documentation I have to pass through an unreliable preprocessor to follow a normal style?<p>[0]: <a href="https://valibot.dev/guides/schemas/" rel="nofollow">https://valibot.dev/guides/schemas/</a> | null | null | 41,790,674 | 41,764,163 | null | [
