The TUIs alone work fine, so something must be done by herdr to make it slow...

ok great benchmark! I work with herdr/pi for dev work and need to use a windows machine from my company. WSL currently unfortunately lags so much when typing, not sure why when using herdr... Using powershell, some features are missing, so i can't wait to try WSL3 and hope for improvements.

I started using Herdr and I really like it. Since the main features I wanted are already there, I have no issue with the commercialization. I still wonder how this can be turned into a profitable business. It'll be really interesting to follow Herdr's future. All the best to the founder!

I started to work on an open source audioguide app as PWA or mobile app. This app can be used by museums or similar institutions https://github.com/smartcompanion-app/audioguide-app.

After my experience in consulting museums, I found that they spend a lot of money on software, which could potentially be replaced with open source software. Therefore I started an awesome list with FOSS software for museums: https://github.com/smartcompanion-app/awesome-open-source-mu....

i am not sure acctually of the math is acctually that complicated/important. the math around neural networks is calculus/chain rule etc and for model comparison/validation one needs statistics. the required math for e.g. understand transformers is quite accessible.

When reading your comment, it just reminds me on how feature flags can be misused as application configuration/customization. An antipattern i could observe at various organzations already.

For me feature flags go along with trunk based development to enable features in QA settings, but not on PROD yet, for PO/PM testing. Trunk based development allows for fast/easy devops, without complicated branching strategies.

Application configuration is, for me, part of the application and has the business context for customizing the application accordingly. Not sure if there are specific frameworks/tools out there. But one should clearly distinguish these two.

depends, JavaScript in the Browser has many useful things available, which I miss with python, e.g., fetch, which in Python you need a separate package like requests to avoid a clunky API. Java had this issue for long time as well, since Java 11 there is the HttpClient with a convenient API.

Yes, that’s true! That could be my next step… though I have to admit, writing this in a HN comment feels like a bit of a challenge.
