My favorite HTTP client for python is github.com/encode/httpx A trick that did wonders for me is combining it with pydantic to load HTTPX PROXY settings from the environment through JSON. It's extremely flexible.

I had some problems deploying monorepos to something that "just runs it". Turns out railway.app has been really great at doing exactly that. You don't even need to create an account to try it out. Just spin up a database and let it run some code it gets from GitHub

don’t be misled by low-order statistics

RIP create-react-app. The current meta in web apps changes so quickly. When I need to throw together a simple app I always need to figure it out again. A good combo for me right now seems to be vitejs.dev with daisyui.com.

It's so stupid to try to teach teenagers "entrepreneurship" by having them pitch made-up startup ideas. You make them focus on the one thing they shouldn't be focusing on, and then you rate them by their appeal to investors, instead of users.

Erik Dungan It is if you want to start a startup. It might be good if you wanted to start a small business.

this is wild — kNN using a gzip-based distance metric outperforms BERT and other neural methods for OOD sentence classification intuition: 2 texts similar if cat-ing one to the other barely increases gzip size no training, no tuning, no params — this is the entire algorithm:

A 14-line Python script using gzip outperforming a 345m parameter transformer model is probably the most hilarious result I've seen all year. aclanthology.org/2023.findings-…

Ah yes, the well known "except you, FAANG" clause that's so common in *open source* licenses like GPL, MIT, BSD, Apache2, ... Here I go again, this can't be for real lol

New settings on this platform, by default it switched to only allow messages from verified users. This sucks if you want people to reach out to you. Also sucks if you want to reach out to people who haven't seen this change.

We solved *Semantic Search-as-you-Type* ⌨️ It is faster than embedding inference ⚡ It is Open-Source 👐 It is in Rust 🦀 We use it for our docs 📜 Read more how 👇

I made an easy decision tree for anyone considering using git submodules or a monorepo.
