I used to read it while pooping as a perl programmer at one of my first jobs


Can you explain more? Don’t leave me hanging…



Ahhh is that it? For whatever reason firefox mobile seems to not respect my general android setting and it won’t seem to turn off. But in any case, my apologies to the webmaster.


What in the everloving fuck kind of color scheme is this unreadable nonsense?


Did you just post your open ai api key on the internet?


https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/Memory-Cache is the actual project if you want to use it.

Basically it’s a firefox extension to save a page as a pdf in a directory that is symlinked to your local PrivateGPT install which then ingests the docs. It doesn’t seem to me that it provides any in-browser querying of PrivateGPT but I haven’t tried setting it up to confirm that.


It varies on who does the interview but I push for much simpler than leetcode type stuff- e.g. not puzzle problems but more “design a program that can represent a parking structure and provide a function that could be used for the ticket printer to determine where a new car should park, as well as one that can run upon exit to determine payment”

Then if they are actually solid we can dive into complexity and optimization and if they can’t write a class or a function at all (and esp if they can’t model a problem in this way) it’s really obvious.


I’m betting you aren’t involved in hiring? The number of engineers I’ve interviewed with graduate degrees from top universities who are fundamentally unable to actually write production quality code is mind-boggling. I would NEVER hire somebody without doing some panel with coding, architecture/systems design, and behavioral/social interviews.


Very interesting article and background. My father’s side of the family is all from Mysuru but also long roots in Udupi and Manipal. I’ll ask if anybody are Tulu speakers, I don’t think so as I’ve never heard of it.


Thanks this matches my understanding too (erlang is all about actor model is my understanding, similar to akka)


Thanks that’s helpful and maps to how I’m thinking it might be useful


I found the art of prolog 2nd edition and starting reading this…


how to learn prolog?
Any recommendations for learning (modern) prolog? Specifically looking at ishigo/prolog and trealla-go as a way to embed rules validation engines in a golang application. Am I insane? If not (or so) how do I best go about learning prolog?

It got this foothold pre-spark, largely due to the akka and typesafe/lightbend ecosystem. Then spark resulted in a lot of data engineers picking up scala (this was my entrance, from the Hadoop map/reduce world). And now cats/zio and effect systems have rounded it out.

Personally I love scala, my teams use it heavily (mix of styles but mostly zio-http, and a lot of spark). But scala3/dotty has been problematic enough for us that we decreed people stop updating their apps. The learning curve is HIGH (esp for functional/effect system scala). The candidate pool is small. I don’t know that if I were to start a greenfield project (without all the rest of the platform already using it) I would suggest we use scala. But the rest of our platform does, and we have tooling, and L&D tracks, etc. So onwards we go.



This is correct. And given the parent license is MIT I’d just include an MIT LICENSE file in my fork and be done with it.
