It was also incredibly difficult. As a kid I couldn’t go beyond the first level. It was also difficult to attack the enemy at the right time. But still it was an amazing experience…

“Written in X”. Every time I look elsewhere when I see it. When is people starting to think about features instead of “it’s better because I rewrote it in X!!”

A web fetch is not much different than asking an MCP for its tools, right?

1. Give your AI client a wrapper to "curl" that does validation of what API methods and endpoints is allowed to hit 2. Tell your AI to download web docs and use html2text + grep + …

This is a question for code reviews inside a company, not public repos. AI has clearly increased the throughput of code changes, which is good. Now you don’t just work on your main…

Wish it wasn’t rust… it’s so hard to read.

> To ensure monotonicity, retrieval of the idempotency key and emitting a message with that key must happen atomically, uninterrupted by other worker threads. Otherwise, you may en…

I think it's because the docs say "If there isn't enough memory, you can't run a JOIN." . While SQL on Hadoop solutions work also without enough RAM by spilling on disk. I don't th…

You are right. It's unfair, I'm going to modify the post to mention alpine. The post is both about tiny images AND how to build docker images with nix. I think it was an interestin…

The blog post code is supposed to run with latest master since a few days. We've merged a big change that leads to reducing a lot the closure of our packages. Nix moves fast enough…

You don't need in fact. But sometimes you are forced to use Docker anyway.

Always liked and used LyX, and never looked back. LaTeX is not for humans in my opinion, nobody should ever write LaTeX by hand.

How Nix solved the issue: 1. Each go package has an attribute name in nix, like anything else, that is not tied to its url. 2. Each go package has an url where to fetch the source …

Sorry, where is it said they will stop development of Persona? The homepage and the service seem to be in full health, there's no warning anywhere for users of Persona. Is there an…

I've looked at knex. But I felt it not to be as composable as sqlata. In knex operators are written with .where() itself. Also it doesn't manage table aliases apparently. And it's …

You also upgrade grub versions I hope :) Or maybe improve the grub installation scripts.

Things you must be afraid when using nix: 1) If you install a bad grub, you cannot rollback it using nix. That means, not a wrong grub line, but if grub itself is broken. 2) Anythi…

It's a different approach. That's basically an implementation using ostree. Nix is way different than that. Neither is better in my opinion, but I use Nix happily.

There's a /bin/sh because libc needs it, but we're going to remove that one too in the future somehow. But /usr/bin/env is in nixos to make it easy for people to run scripts. But p…

How we solved it in Nix: http://lethalman.blogspot.it/2015/02/developing-in-golang-wi... We don't need go get or any other tool, and we have about 174 packaged libraries in our rep…
