> 1 Billion Row Challenge benchmark: Pandas took 4m28s vs. Polars 5.04s and DuckDB 5.19s — DuckDB also used 19x less memory

Python Vs Rust : In terms for speed - No comparison

(The above episode transcript has a link to blog post titled "Pandas should go extinct" )

(As I mentioned elsewhere) I use oh-my-pi (and opencode, and toad) but use (client paid) Opus 5 with these harnesses.

All three of these understand AGENTS.md

I also use the same. But I use Anthropic models (Opus 5) with it.

Most of the participants has Windows laptop. (Except one with Mac)

We had suggested Linux on WSL2 and VSCode. (`uv` for python package management)

But realized that we were spending a LOT of time fighting the tools/combination. WSL2 + Windows filesystem + uv did not work well together.

For person with macOS - it was smooth sailing

If I do another batch, we'll use native `pip` and python (not uv) and I think then we won't need WSL2

It was irritating.

I just assumed it was "IT policy" and accepted the inconvinience.

The way I interpreted is that first password is for the account, so verify I am who I say I am. But since the emails are encrypted, browser can't show my messages in human-readable form. Second/mailbox password decrypts it and shows the emails in human readable format.

This is just a guess.

I would love to hear about second password from other/more knowlegeable folks.

He complained to me that he "could not find it in ChatGPT history as well"

I think @alexmolas was lucky

I know what I'm looking for. I just need exact URL.

Perplexity miserably fails at this.

Their tagline was "Your professional network"

They closed in early 2025

LinkedIn may suck.

Let me retract that.

It definitely sucks (For me - it sucks because of non-professional posts in the feed. memes, political rants, funny pics etc.)

But there are good parts as well.

The most important thing going on for them is they have network effect.

Everyone (and their grandma, as they say) is on LinkedIn

When I was interviewing, I used to check the LinkedIn profile for the candidate as well. (Lot of times, after the interview in case I had good things to say in my feedback form)

Having said that - Best wishes to OpenSpot.

I assume once that feature is available, account (thus Sign up) would become necessary.

I wish that feature is opt-in, so "No Sign Up" can remain available for those who do not need that feature.

I don't blame them. If they were able to convince their manager to re-write python scripts in rust, good for them. They got "on the job/real life" rust experience. They solved the "chicken and the egg" problem in rust hiring - for themselves.

when companies can fire engineers when they are in trouble, engineers are bound to "think for themselves"

I couldn't find any Firefox extension that does this (Or maybe I didn't look hard enough)

This is the one feature that brought me to Arc

(I've since stopped using Arc, and moved to Vivaldi. My "main" browser is still Firefox)

So it was like FNU Raj (if his name was Raj - it wasn't)

FWIW I use Wezterm with Zellij

"Update 27 January 2020: News reports state that India's government has restored Internet access to the Kashmir region"

RESTORED (albeit partially)
