I recommend wrapping the git cli commands using subprocess, using porcelain output modes etc, and parsing the output.
We have had stability problems with GitPython (which wraps gitdb). On Linux gitdb does clever things with sliding mmap, which caused some crashes (in a multi threaded environment), and I found simple race conditions in the code for writing loose objects, which is about as simple an operation as can be, so I lost faith with it. I do use gitdb in one read-only single-threaded system; it’s undoubtedly fast.
The biggest issues with git libraries are around the complexity of git configurations. Any independent reimplementation is probably going to support the most common 99% of features but that 1% always comes back to bite you! We use a lot of git features in service of a gigantic monorepo, like alternates and partial clones and config tricks.
If we use command-line git we get 100% compatibility with all git configuration and ODB features, and it’s hard to ensure that with an independent git implementation (even libgit2).
When you say “that solution doesn’t scale well” - we have made it scale. git itself scales well for operations it can perform natively, you just have to use the features effectively, often the high-level operations but sometimes lower-level commands like git cat-file --batch
, git mktree --batch
, etc. It’s not as fast as gitdb but fast enough, and I can have high confidence that I can write something once and it won’t break or cause problems later.
I don’t deny that this kind of thing is useful for understanding the capabilities and limitations of LLMs but I don’t agree that “the best match of a next phrase given his question, and not because it can actually consider the situation.” is an accurate description of an LLM’s capabilities.
While they are dumb and unworldly they can consider the situation: they evaluate a learned model of concepts in the world to decide if the first word of the correct answer is more likely to be yes or no. They can solve unseen problems that require this kind of cognition.
But they are only book-learned and so they are kind of stupid about common sense things like frying pans and ovens.
I think it’s fair to colour seasons and episodes with different scales because they are measuring different things.
Due to the Central Limit Theorem, average of 20+ episodes will have a smaller standard deviation than individual episodes.
For example, an individual episode with a score of 6 you’ll probably watch. A whole season with a score of 6, maybe not.
Would Monsieur like un peu de… potage de la nuit? It is very… how you say… risqué ?
Triangles taste objectively worse. The acute 45° angles are not effective at retaining sandwich contents so you are just tasting plain bread.
By cutting orthogonally you create 90° corners on each segment, allowing a uniform distribution of delicious filling throughout each sandwich segment.
That’s just maths.
Rust has a lot going for it beyond just the safety thing: excellent package manager, powerful trait system and generics, helpful compiler errors.
The whole language is designed to help you avoid making the programming mistakes people tend to make, not just the borrow checker and memory safety.
Yes, Windows perfectly serves the purpose of running an SSH client to log into a Linux box. Totally adequate experience.
Python already has this.
The price difference is quickly made up for with the re-usability factor.
I don’t think that’s true, CD-Rs cost pennies. You have to rewrite every CD-RW 4 or 5 times before it’s comparable in price. In practice, across every CD-RW ever made, the approximate number of times it is written is probably about 0.5
Well, the answer is “at least 1”. We don’t know the destination of the polygamist or whether there were other travellers with less remarkable entourages.
St. Ives is a popular tourist destination, but stupidly remote and takes a long time to reach. It’s likely that there are several people travelling to St. Ives at any given moment.
