We're on use1 and havent seen any degradation
89vision··on Apple’s Vision Pro Is a $3,500 Ticket to Nowhere
Agreed. First adopters will buy it, give feedback, and then Apple will iterate. Just like the first iphone
89vision··on Unix: An Oral History
that's a great book
89vision··on How Python virtual environments work
Both. Setting up the editor took a little doing, but it works well. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/containers/quickstart-pyt...

I haven't used these since docker

89vision··on DuckDB – An in-process SQL OLAP database management system
sql alchemy is an orm, where ibis looks to be a dataframe api that is sort of a dsl over sql. It doesn't try to map relational domains to an object oriented paradigm like sql alchemy does
89vision··on DuckDB – An in-process SQL OLAP database management system
> working with SQL is nicer than Pandas

Really? I prefer working with dataframe apis. You get a nice sql-like paradigm plus all the control structures of the runtime.

Neat. I love that there's a rust implementation. Types make everything better

89vision··on Connect-Web: TypeScript library for calling RPC servers from web browsers
yeah, I've done both, but I far prefer writing protobuf markup than swagger. YMMV
89vision··on Connect-Web: TypeScript library for calling RPC servers from web browsers
I once worked on a home built browser grpc implementation where the protobufs were serialized over the wire in base64. It certainly had it's kinks to work out, but sharing/generating the service definitions and models from the same protobuf markup between backend and frontend was really nice.

89vision··on Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to all users
for non-dark pattern use cases where it is beneficial from a usability standpoint to share cookies across domains
89vision··on This is the Way: Invisible Jenkins
We just block all external ip addresses except for github's in nginx for webhooks. To access the ui you need to be in the vpn.

89vision··on OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
I used this in conjuction with home assistant to build location based automations. I'm glad this exists
89vision··on My boundaries as an open source developer
I don't think this is hostile in the slightest. Nobody should expect free work
89vision··on We don't need runtime type checks
I think scala strikes a pretty good balance here. It's statically typed, but the compiler will attempt to infer types if not explicitly defined. If you want an implicit type conversion the type conversion function needs to be defined and in scope
89vision··on Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here
In 2013ish I had the XPS 13 "Developer Edition". It always felt extremely underpowered for the specs, so I wonder how long they've been doing this.
89vision··on Tell HN: Reddit was showing “Blocked” when accessed with Firefox
Seems to be working for me. Is it only blocked for users that are logged in?
89vision··on Using an ETL framework vs. writing yet another ETL script
Argo workflow looks like the best of both worlds to me. You can easily build up complex etl/data processing dags where each step is a docker container, so you can choose the best tool for the job. Argo has all the retry/backoff logic built into it and you can plug the workflows into Argo events. It runs on kubernetes so you can scale your compute according to your workflow demands
89vision··on Roy Fielding's Misappropriated REST Dissertation (2020)
I tend to go with RPC style apis with JSON/Protofbuf payloads for most things these days. IMHO it's the best of both worlds.
89vision··on Roy Fielding's Misappropriated REST Dissertation (2020)
I really like gRPC. I've even worked with a browser implementation of it. SerDe costs were painful but the developer experience of it was great
89vision··on Roy Fielding's Misappropriated REST Dissertation (2020)
Not a SOAP advocate by any means, but there's nothing stopping you from sending a curl command with an xml payload to a soap endpoint
89vision··on Please stop recommending Gitflow
Anecdotally, it's worked well for my current project as any other branching model I've worked with. It allows release validation to happen while developers continue to work on features.

The author seems to bash the workflow without offering up any solution or alternative.
