I agree. Tenures may be short but careers are long and tech is (surprisingly) small. Credibility builds trust and trust between people is ultimately what business run on. "Do right be people" is a good strategy.

fellow co-founder here! One fun thing about this project is the entire frontend was vibe-coded using Bolt in a few days.

This is a pretty cool idea but I'm trying to think of the advantage of WASM vs other execution engines.

It seems to me one of the main use-cases for WASM is to execute lambdas, which are often short-lived (like 500ms timeout limits). Maybe this could have a place in embedded systems?

great point, thanks for sharing

I've used uv to work on the feast feature store project to great success

I never really thought about this perspective but in some ways it makes sense. I think the ironic part is that LinkedIn now provides built-in AI tools that make you sound more like a bot.

Maybe they could fingerprint slop generated with they tools and allow it through to incentivize upgrading

Checkout warpstream (recently acquired by confluent)

awesome, happy to answer any questions and would love any feedback!

Commenting code and generating documentation.

I like to copy entire python modules into the context window and say something like "add docstrings to all methods, classes, and functions".

You can then feed the code into something like sphinx or pdoc to get a nice webpage.

I've found them incredibly useful for writing Dockerfiles or other bits of infra config like K8s yaml

One area where this absolutely makes a difference is when embedding python. Like it or not Python is extreme popular in data/AI/ML so if you want to build an experience where users can deploy custom functions, removing the GIL allows you to more efficiently scale these workloads.

One thing that's helped me is to every-so-often oil my wood utensils the same way I oil my wood cutting board. It's helps protect the wood and retain moisture so it doesn't crack. Also, at least some (if not all) woods have anti-microbial properties.

I've always wondered about this too. It should be pretty easy to recognize statistical outliers. I'm sure cheaters would start to adapt but that adaptation might start to look more in-line with normal skill levels so at least the game wouldn't be utterly ruined

"streaming data" can generally be thought of as a sequence of events in time. Think measurements from sensors, mouse click events from uses on a webpage, or access logs from a server. These events are often fed into a message bus type system like Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.

Stream processing is a programming paradigm for working with these types of timestamped events and a "stream processing engine" like Denormalized seeks to actually execute stream processing compute jobs against streaming data.

The goal of the engine is to abstract away as much of the low level complexities needed to effectively work with this data at scale and provide an ergonomic way for developers to write and operate streaming applications.

would love any and all feedback!

it'll be coming soon!

Other founder here -- we've been working on this now for several months and have had a lot of fun building on top of arrow and datafusion

Could definitely be wrong but I always thought waxing was about reducing the friction between the ski and the snow by both creating a uniform surface and because the wax has a lower coefficient of friction than the plastic of the skis.

edit: learned something new!

California really does seem to be getting harder to build a tech business in

+1 to vim-adventures, excellent game and well worth the money if you're a committed power user

For real, scammers are going to be licking their lips

It was a useful tool to better verify identity vs relying solely on email addresses, which were substantially easier to create at the time.

Kinda like SSNs though, I think it's way past the point when a better designed system should have been developed. Sadly, that costs a lot of money.

It bears repeating that this bill only bans tiktok if it isn't spun out of Bytedance. Given how American owned social media companies are treated in China, this doesn't seem entirely unfair.

In my experience even "a few extras privileges" can take many months to implement, especially for a company as large as Apple.

NASA is a government organization with different incentives, and, has arguably suffers from similar problems that Boeing is experiencing.

Open sourcing code can require a lot of resources to do it right (manage the community, handle licensing etc). If you don't have customers asking for it and you don't need it for customer acquisition it might not make sense.

Not a big fan on the reliance of cars either but doing this wastes energy and contributes more to pollution.

Rectangle Pro user here -- biggest frustration I've had is configuration. While the GUI is nice for seeing all the options and some basic stuff, when it comes to actually configuring App Layouts it's been a nightmare of clicking around. I went so far as to export my config so I could modify it with a text editor and then re-import it but the config itself includes serialized JSON as values so to accomplish what I wanted to I had to de-serialize the json, make the changes I wanted to, re-serialize it, then re-import it back into Rectangle, all while hoping I didn't mess up the re-serialization step. This ended up taking more time than if I had just painfully clicked through the interface.

Personally, I wish Rectangle had the option of storing configuration in a simple dot file in my home dir but I understand that would prevent syncing through icloud, which is a feature I imagine a lot of folks like. Barring that, I wish rectangle could export/import the configuration in a more editor friendly way so I could make these configuration changes much faster and more easily ensure consistency across settings.

some additional context here is that warpstream is building a Kakfa compatible streaming system that uses s3 as the object store. This allows them to leverage cheap zone transfer costs for redundancy + automatic storage tiering to cut down on the costs of running and maintaining these systems. This has previously come at the cost of latency due to s3's read/write speeds but with S3 this makes them more competitive with Confluent Kafka's managed offerings for these latency sensitive applications.

IMO warpstream is a really cool product and this new S3 offering makes them even better

As someone who attended the event in person I thought Khan was very respectful and open in her demeanor and I appreciated the fact that she took the time to come out and speak (also shout out to YC for hosting this events).

I will say I was somewhat disappointed with the questions asked since many of them centered around AI and the recent Biden EO rather than actual examples of potential monopoly power such as the app store.
