   This is a well-thought-out critique. Thanks for sharing your insights.

   > General day to day is creating jobs that will process large amounts of input data and storing them into Snowflake

   About how long do these typically take to execute? Minute, Tens of Minutes, Hours?

   My work if very iterative where the feedback loop is only a few minutes long.

   I'd be curious to know transactions per second (or other metrics) before and after the suggested changes.

   Has anyone tried using zram inside of various K8s pods? If so, I'd be interested in knowing the outcome.

   This was a funny take on it...

   Slightly better link that filters to only to "Sources" (no forks) and also by number of Stars.

   Agreed. I use this program all day, every day. Viewing a file without it now is just painful. :-)

   I have these aliases, which are useful when piping output to them:

       alias bd='bat -p -l diff'
       alias bh='bat -p -l help'
       alias bi='bat -p -l ini'
       alias bj='bat -p -l json'
       alias bl='bat -p -l log'
       alias bm='bat -p -l man'
       alias by='bat -p -l yml'

   Thanks for the link. These are nice additions.

   I just learned how to do an inline "Note" in markdown (noticed this in his README.md) which I had either never seen before or just never noticed. I made a gist so I wouldn't forget how to do this.

    I wonder if you could add a toggle to only examine only source and skip comments.

    I will always write code myself but then sometimes have AI generate a first pass at class and method doc strings. What would happen in this scenario with your tool? Would my code be detected as AI generated because of this or does your tool solely operate on code only?

    I have a macbook air M4 with 32 GB. What LM Studio models would you recommend for:

    * General Q&A

    * Specific to programming - mostly Python and Go.

    I forgot the command now, but I did run a command that allowed MacOS to allocate and use maybe 28 GB of RAM to the GPU for use with LLMs.

    I recently wrote an open source Python module to deidentify people's names and gender specific pronouns. It uses spaCy's Named Entity Recognition (NER) capabilities combined with custom pronoun handling. See the screenshot in the README.md file.

    I wrote a CLI program to determine and detect the end-of-line format, tabs, bom, and nul characters. It can be installed via Homebrew or you can download standalone binaries for all platforms:

    I believe he alluded to it here...

    "I have to imagine this is because nobody in the Python community knew enough Rust to fix it. Had the native portion of Pendulum been written in C I would have fixed it myself."

    Micro is nice because it is a single-file, stand-alone executable that has mouse support, macro record/playback and syntax highlighting. (I haven't checked Nano recently). It is great for making quick edits to json configs, shell scripts, python scripts, etc. Syntax highlighting and line numbering are key. If I need to make a really quick edit, it is much faster to use this than waiting for VS Code or PyCharm to load. You also stay focused. By this I mean, your eyes don't leave the terminal window that you are currently working in. This allows me to more quickly complete the task at hand.

    Here is one of few Windows apps that I have written, albeit in C#. compinfo is a single, 431 KB windows executable.

    It displays basic computer info including user name, computer name, OS, model, serial number (service tag), CPU model, memory, IPv4 address and uptime.

    I'm using ollama, llama3.2 3b, and python to shorten news article titles to 10 words or less. I have a 3 column web site with a list of news articles in the middle column. Some of the titles are too long for this format, but the shorter titles appear OK.

    I know someone who lost their home in the Palisades fires. This is what he said about this spreadsheet:

    "I’ve already started spreading the word about the spreadsheet, it’s a great resource."

    This is a great project. It's basically a Swiss army knife style tool, but for PDF files. I've been using it on & off for several years now for various projects.

    I agree with this - good idea.

    I use this extension to locally save my Claude chats. It does a great job preserving code blocks.

    After the video was published, it was revealed that some of the recorded "theft" reactions were actually staged. According to Rober, he had asked friends to test the device and record reactions, but some of them had recruited other people to pretend to be thieves without his knowledge.

    When this came to light, Rober apologized for not properly vetting all the footage and explained that 2 reaction shots had been staged without his knowledge. His later glitter bomb videos included more rigorous documentation and transparency.
