That's a bold and daring thing to say on a startup accelerator and venture capital forum, must I say.

While that is technically true I have always thought hn as a mere place to find interesting content. Of course many of us, me included, dream about finding someone who pays millions for our code. But the attitude towards businessmen is generally hostile here and for a good reason. They can't make things and they aren't even interested in making things, and overall they are more often than not just lame and boring. They are interested in making money, ripping people off, being leeches, extracting every possible penny they just can. Weird geeks are what the hacker culture is all about and politically correct c-suite suckers can go pound sand.

uv works so well for the vast majority of scenarios that I don't really see a demand for further innovation in the Python package manager domain.

yeah we all heard that story every 3 months with all the previous package managers. until there's adoption by an overwhelming majority of projects, it isn't really settled yet.

I’ve literally never heard that much buzz and excitement about Python tool before. And I’ve seen them all.

All of them had some big issue that prevented it from getting mainstream. Either it was slow, or didn’t work with existing workflow, or had complex configuration, or something that prevented gradual adoption.

uv is universally praised as the second coming Christ in Python world (and for a good reason). So no, I doubt there will be something else. Not only you need to be better than uv, you also need to have community momentum.

Using Python in one form or the other since Python 1.6, there is always some buzz for whatever tool now and then.

it still needs to add handling for binaries (the one thing conda can do that uv can't)

Wonderful extension, but at times my dopamine-addicted brain keeps disabling it on an impulse instead of doing something creative or productive on my PC. I looked into making it impossible to disable this extension through registry editor, but so far none of the settings in Windows seem to stick.

dbt in particular is effectively useless without maintained and up-to-date connectors to your particular database.

Do your database vendors often do breaking changes to their protocols? dbt just generates SQL and that's not going anywhere.

>relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs

This holds true for 95% of cases of well-made software.

You may not like the way he put it, but he is correct.

>You voted with your feet and moved to Western Europe for better well-being, but you still won't vote with your cursor and use a browser other than Edge.

I love this and hate this at the same time.

Math personally "clicked" to me when I started to use Python and R for mathematical operations instead of the conventional arcane notation. I did make me wonder why we insist on forcing kids and young adults to struggle through particularly counter-intuitive ways to express mathematical concepts just because of historical baggage, and I am glad to hear now that I am not the only one who thinks this way.

It would be interesting to see if someone can develop insider trading tracking algorithms to uncover highly probable useful information out of prediction markets before major public announcements. It would be unfair to people involved in markets, but highly beneficial to everyone else, at least so long as prediction markets remain relatively niche.

This kind of attitude comes hand-to-hand with performative virtue signalling. Minimizing the extent of political involvement makes any hobby or interest infinitely more enjoyable and less toxic, and I find it regrettable that people are less able to engage in communities centered around technology without flaunting their political tribal allegiances.

I agree that if people were able to keep their hate out of these spaces they would be much more pleasant for people to engage in.

That's not what either parent said, which you're well aware of. What you call "hate" others call "opinions" or is just completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Not everyone needs to care about what you care about in the same way. We're allowed to have differences and we're allowed to not care about those differences in some contexts in life.

I'm not opposed to people having different opinions. What I am opposed to is people making a space actively hostile to others and hiding behind their "freedom of opinion".

I enjoy when people show social conscious & tie it to their work. Trying to work within the framework of the world & communicating your aspirations & hopes is great.

Citation needed. Why? I don't feel this at all. It's great to see virtue sang forth, imo.
