I remember years and years ago getting a Raspberry Pi from my father. We were going to use it for something or other, but that plan fell through, and I ended up using it to "deploy" my first programming project when I was around 12 or so, which was a home assistant that I was really proud of. I remember using Sonic Pi to come up with what I think was an excessive 30 or so different sounds and indicator tones for it, and a little startup jingle. Good times.

Oh my god, Salt Lake City! I never see anything here, and the first thing I click on today no less... unfortunately I'm not a Ruby programmer but I'm happy to see that some stuff is happening here.

It at least predates 2012, since the same text is seen on the this page's first archive on archive.org.

I agree. There's also something to be said in it being another level of abstraction, only linguistic instead of technical, but failing to understand that they are "random" is a recipe for disaster.

To be fair, DNA sequencing was very hyped up (although not nearly as much as AI). The HGP finished two years ahead of schedule, which is sort of unheard of for something in it's domain, and was mainly a result of massive public interest about personalized medicine and the like. I will admit that a ton of foundational DNA sequencing stuff evolved over decades, but the massive leap forward in the early 2000s is comparable to the LLM hype now.

I actually hear about this fairly often. In quite a few of my college classes, there's a large focus on AI (even outside the computer science department). I find it surprising the amount of non-technical people who don't even think to use it, or otherwise haven't interacted with it except when required.

At least it happened after I did my work for the day... jfc!

Having "NA" being treated as nil/null/None by default seems like it would cause the Namibia problem!

I will say that this doesn't seem to be how semver is used in the wild, which I would argue is more important. I personally didn't know about this rule. Tons of Rust projects follow semver don't follow it either, and just stay on 0.x.y forever.

Really glad to see we're getting a native PEM API.

As far as I know, PyPy doesn't support all CPython extensions, so pure Python code will probably (very likely) run fine but for other things most bets are off. I believe PyPy also only supports up to 3.11?

True! I didn't think of it that way ;-)

I didn't read it as this, what signs do you see?
