Personally, I had good experience with marimos so far. Reactive execution, variable deduplication, clear business logic vs UI elements logic separation that is forced on you is good. It retrains ppl to write slightly better structured Python code which is a win in my eyes.

Not very hard to you, however the reproducibility numbers tell a different story. Back in the days, when we were searching for some ML model implementations in the public repos and found ipynb files in it, we skipped the repo without delving into details. Within the company data engineer research notebooks were never allowed inside a repo. Experiment, yes, but rewrite it in plain python and push.

pacman and aur with preconfigured DE, it saves a lot of time. I switched to Manjaro after I got tired of tweaking arch even for most trivial things every single reinstall. Its the best distro for learning though. Apt or rpm distros can barely compete with the amount of available and up-to-date packages in aur.

Sigh. I don't get the sentiment and the whole debate here. The author is clearly nitpicking (he is the first person who uses messages after all). But honestly, complaints about "arrange" screens button?
Nevertheless, he is probably right. Only the people who went through working on Windows, Linux both on cheap and expensive machines while dealing with all the "baggage" these environments bring can tolerate MacOS with leniency. I will never come back to anything else until I see a competitive offer from just anyone because what Apple offers is:
* Fast, silent, extremely energy efficient devices with excellent screens and audio.
* The font rendering. I honestly can't believe people who professionally work with text all their lives never mention it here. MacOS had and continues to have the best fonts and font rendering that is.
* Solid build that lasts (I own MacBook Pro and MS Surface Book 2 both from 2019 so I see how they age).
* A device that is ready to work when you open a lid or touch a keyboard button without any "waking up from sleep/hibernation" or freezing due to buggy video drivers and inability to work with GPU in hybrid mode OUT-OF-THE-BOX in 2025.
The above-mentioned is more than enough for me to tolerate any MacOS issues and the ones mentioned in the article are just laughable.
Apple offers you the full package that allows cross-device integration while Win/Linux users still rely on the Google stack or other third party "workarounds". Yes, no surprises here -- owning the hardware and software stack is a massive advantage.

The author discusses biases and issues of the modern hiring processes and how to design a good one for your company.

I tried doing some LeetCode problems and found that the time I spent making sense of their task descriptions is just not worth it. They are a mixed bag and some of them are simply not well written to a degree that you feel stupid while spending hours to make your code pass their tests. Is it some elaborate scheme to make you pay and use the debugger? In the end I simply didn't enjoy the process.
What I really liked going through though are project euler and 4ever-clojure problems. It's subjective but I suspect it's because you don't need to read through paragraphs of text before starting to write a solution. It's the opposite, the small problems with clear goals leave you with more space for creativity and urge you to write more code in the end. I personally found the hours spent on such problems to be more productive.

I have to admit, several years ago, a colleague of mine advised me if not to try Clojure but at least to read the "History of Clojure": https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3386321, which I never did. But one day I decided to watch Rich Hickey - Greatest Hits https://changelog.com/posts/rich-hickeys-greatest-hits... I then read the "History of Clojure", and then jumped into learning it.
This is probably one of the most fun languages to build with and one of the most beautiful ones. If not syntax-wise, rather in a way it allows you to express your thoughts via good design and composition that so nicely tickles your brain. If you are still searching for that one shiny tool, and none of them clicks, maybe try Clojure. It's one of the most concise and yet powerful languages I've seen.

Yes, and with heavy use of one of the biggest D strengths -- CTFE (compile time eval). Great lib!

If you need just csv/tsv parsing, you can also take a look at https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils

well, after https://yuri.is/not-julia/, the above is a very valid statement.

I used to use Phind for couple of months. I liked the UI improvements but the slow limited free GPT4 and fast lackluster Phind model turned me off. I tried Bing and it wasn’t worse, had more free searches per day.

The "code" assistant is just a chat interface configured for programming tasks powered by gpt4 (Ultimate plan) and gpt3.5 for (Pro plan).

You are confusing search and text generation.

Kagi once returned nothing for one of my searches. I didn't anticipate that and decided to go to Bing. Bing returned many results but none of them was relevant. This is what any decent search engine should do -- return nothing, if you query is bad or too specific.
