If you're a CS grad student in the US, I'll pay you a small fee to write for The Consensus. I'm especially looking for articles that compare the state of research to the state of what devs do in practice, because there are often interesting discrepancies.

Good article. RLHF from lawyers or doctors would be expensive so I'm curious how companies will handle it.
Did you have access to a DB of docs it can use to verify if the references exist?
Have you seen @grimalkina.bsky.social 's github.com/DrCatHicks/l... ?

Just write a ton of css with different behavior for all screen sizes, what could go wrong π

I like to char vegetables for some recipes but it stains the steel :(
Key to efficient learning is realizing how we ACTUALLY learn, not just what FEELS like learning. I wrote a Claude Skill for some friends to help them think about this and they've liked it -- see Principles for some directions you could explore

Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.
So you would have the queue in memory and store on-disk on a WAL file? Interesting!
That's bothering me for some reason. What's the backend of the durable queue? You need to write it somewhere at some point right?
What do you use to store data then?

Woo hoo! π
My book, #Python Workout (2nd edition), is now the #20 best-selling book in programming languages at Amazon.
Thanks so much to everyone who has bought it, and also to everyone leaving such kind reviews.
I think it's more a question of the underlying implementation clojure.org/reference/da... otherwise you just copy the data all over the place; we don't really have a immutable & performant list-like container.
More immutable datastructures, moaaaaar
Very augmentative people as well, they always have a bone to pick.
In September 2025 we launched a major update of Proton Mail for iOS and Android.

It's mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2012/05/conf... every time. But I think a well-design SDK will beat YAML in the long run. At least I can I dream. I also think we should have static analysis of policies + runtime check of resources availability way before runtime the actual infra but well, baby steps.
It was very good, I did and do use Ansible and it did hit home π

I'm trying to imagine myself explaining this meme to my grandparents.
See you guys there!
I will need to make some cursed modules to convert the markdown to like Confluence markup. Will you expose the underlying AST for the plugins?
