@criccomini Pypy is effectively dead. Why not expose C bindings from your Rust layer?

Feedback need: SlateDB's Python API uses pyo3, which supports Python/Rust async integration. The other bindings use slatedb-c (C FFI ABI), which is sync. Ideally, I want all bindings use one layer (FFI) to simplify maintenance. Should I ditch pyo3 and async Python support, tho?

@mitsuhiko That and insisting that Python 3.14+ syntax for “except TypeError, ValueError:” is Python 2.
Which is technically correct.. but.
English
My least favorite feature is that LLMs love to use "python3 -m py_compile" to validate python syntax and then create a bunch of __pycache__ folders
English
Fun fact, a Python exception that stringiifies a large list of complex objects can easily OOM a K8S Pod.

@tomdale TFG. I’ve been using Opencode more over the last few days though.

@kellabyte I’ve found GenAI does well with Rust especially when clippy in pedantic mode is turned on. The great error messages help ensure less craziness.

One interesting thing about HoloStore is it’s written in Rust and I’ve never written Rust before (it’s on my near term todo to learn).
But it’s interesting directing AI to build something in a language you’ve never used before.

@ajhoag My friend said it created The OnlyMolts last night.

rust is a perfect language for agents, given that if it compiles it's ~correct

@mitchellh My dad recently dug up the Lionel sets he has as a kid from the basement for my youngest niece. He and my brother have been having a great time cleaning and rebuilding all the cars.

She opened a box car and a million hole punch shavings came out and she goes "daddy what's that?" I used to use hole-punched paper as "cargo." At some point in my childhood, I loaded them for one last trip, unbeknownst to me my own daughter would rediscover them 30 years later.

Uncovered some of my childhood model train sets and my daughter is loving it (2y). It's a totally unique feeling watching my own child play with a set of toys I played with when I was only a little older than her, too. She's been so good about being gentle with them, too.

@ajhoag 💯 - it’s horrible when precision is required.

AI slop isn’t just a problem for AI.
Already seeing this effect on software that all looks the same and sacrifices delight for disposability.
“While generative AI (GenAI) promises productive efficiency, it can paradoxically lead to lower-quality work.”

@dieworkwear If I wanted to get a !(custom) suit for my company holiday in SF or Oakland, where should I go?
I’m a fan of Italian style overall, but also wear Acronym, Rip Van Winkle, Devoa, etc.

I will probably not be posting much for a while here as my absolutely one of a kind rehusband Paul Boutin passed of a suddenly advancing cancer last night. Polymath musician engineer journalist and generous to a fault.
English
@ramez Most definitely. Back to School night was very informative.
English
@dsully Seems like some relevant stuff there. I wonder if the teacher will connect any of it to current events.
English
Friends with kids in high school: Are current political events, or past parallels, being covered in history class? How so?
English
@criccomini Yeah, I’m very familiar with Mermaid. Just wasn’t sure if you were referring to them generically or in terms of some usage with Helm which has a “Chart” noun.
(I fucking despise Helm)

Agents make programing more like playing starcraft.... I like starcraft.

@mitsuhiko Yeah it's an interesting use-case to consider for sure. I've gone back and forth on the value of it over "Just use uvx".
English
@charliermarsh for your bucket list: make uv ship a single executable :) x.com/thdxr/status/1…

saying "vanishing small" is just made up - i'm speaking from experience with thousands of customers that pay us touch anything even slightly enterprise and you'll see all these wonky setups it's not rational - they have some official software center and then they also have npm which they use to work around it, that's the most common setup we've been publishing go binaries to npm for years for that reason pyinstaller helps but is less developed than what we have with bun. we need to use native libraries like treesitter and libgit2 and having native solutions for ffi, embedding static libs, musl builds, etc is helpful again i'm sure it's all technically possible with enough effort but my larger point here is there's and endless list of needs you haven't considered people making different decisions than you aren't likely doing it out of ignorance
