"A key reason behind Amex's adoption of WebAssembly is that WebAssembly demonstrated superior performance metrics compared to containers."

Wasm faster than containers? I guess they mean under there specific circumstances. Rust or C on a Linux container running machine code should definitely be faster than Wasm bytecode.

> No types

It's pretty easy to add types to Python nowadays. I'd consider it bad practice not to do so in a large project.

seanmceligot · a year ago

It would be nice if python would show types in the documentation. Not only do I need that all the time, it would show python was taking type safety serious.

For example, knowing the return type of a function is Union[DataFrame,Series] rather than simply DataFrame would save a lot of bad errors.

Download the executable? That's not safe. Even if your intentions are good, you're teaching bad security habits.

Are you concerned at all about the raspi’s sd card corrupting/failing? I’d feel like this would always be at the back of my mind

seanmceligot · 2 years ago

This happened to me Tuesday September 28th 2001 at 3:30pm. I know because I never rewrote the complicated e-paper code that I lost when my SD card died without a backup :(

It doesn't mention anything about calibrating

seanmceligot · 2 years ago

I was looking for this too, "site:airgradient.com calibrate" brings a lot of results, so it seems like they support it, but I haven't dug in yet.

I'm glad to see there's an alternative to Airthings. The problem with them is they should be calibrated at least every year but they can't be, so they just deny that they ever go wrong and pretend the problem doesn't exist.

I have a Boox note. I can’t help the feeling that it’s not entirely legit, but it’s Android, connects to any service I want (including a Calibre library), has a great display, is great for notes, and is all around fantastic. It’s not a tablet replacement but it IS a replacement for the stuff I do most often with a tablet (read and write). I thought the 10.3 inch display would make for a hefty reader, but it’s perfectly fine.

seanmceligot · 2 years ago

I love the black and white boox as a low tech device. I do a lot more reading and a log less mindless scrolling on my boox tablet. There's also grayscale chrome and firefox plugins if you want to see what it's like.

I still miss sz and rz when I ssh from a computer with no ssh server like nearly every windows box. If I remember right, sz = send a file from the server I'm in back to the client server. rz = receive a file from the client server.

You can accomplish the with a new scp session on the client server, but it's an extra step. I use this as a helper when for building the scp command.

function scppath() { echo $USER@$(hostname).$(dnsdomainname):$(realpath $1) ]

The SecureVec is nice. I've been waiting to see this become more common. Reminds me of this talk at ICFP 2010 on compile time Authorization checks.

Thanks, you're right on. That's what I'm after and that's exactly what Java needs to be useful for doing high performance computations in a sane fashion.

seanmceligot · 6 years ago

I switched to java from c in the mid 90's. I remember thinking how ridiculously wasteful it was to allocate an array on classes one at at time rather than as a block of memory. I think I was using berkeley DB at the time in c and it let you do that.
