I tried this in my house that has ancient copper telephone lines. I was trying to get some level of walled ethernet. I wanted to use the existing wires to pull new ethernet as is d…

Meanwhile I’m over here with my 100 line flake.nix that installs system dependencies with direnv across hundreds of dev users and dozens of repositories wondering why everyone is a…

There’s just something so charming about this era of game design. I think SkiFree is a shit game by modern standards, but I absolutely love the design of some stick figure yeti ine…

Can’t defeat that, hard to observe data that you never receive.

Anything that happens on the client, you can capture. You can capture anything delivered to the client that isn’t exposed by downloading the Claude code binary, unpacking it, and p…

> if you have a 500k line codebase and even > 50% is written by agents, you are in a world of pain that won’t justify the costs longer term A bold claim to make with little to no s…

I did not try for long, but I was also never able to actually provision, this was a couple years ago when I tried, the only people I saw report success were using the scripted meth…

I’ve been PAYG for several years now and have straight up idled the instances for months at a time and never been deprovisioned

For what it's worth, I am a user of this and I'd like to clear up one thing that is not obvious here: There are actually two tiers of Free here that Oracle offers. Always Free - No…

As an end user, I don't mind if you're building a product with rapidly changing API's out in the open. I'll still use the product if it's useful and deal with the churn. What I DO …

Okay, that’s slightly more reasonable it means if I’m going to be rolling stuff back into OSM in a new country I should at least have a quick chat and ensure what I’m doing abides …

I get this perspective. But I also find the standards to be onerous. They were honestly fine until this one: > Contact the relevant local communities affected by the contributions …

Perhaps because encoding &lt but not &gt makes the code significantly more confusing and less readable.

SDET is one of those things that you can never justify, but if you allow it to happen and the SDET is good it pays itself off several hundred times over

If you’re a layman investor just dump all of your shit in index funds. Even if you’re smart and sophisticated, you’re still competing against the massive amount of fraudulent insid…

I think the situation is slightly more nuanced than that. When the easiest path by far is long lived keys, there is something to be said about the security posture of a solution wh…

Dealing with humans is way harder than dealing with a machine that is programmed to agree with you

This is a very long form way of saying “understand the work you are dispatching, and if you don’t, ask questions until you do”

Ah, the starry eyed lifecycle of project management. Every young project management tool, born out of the same concept of feeling like its predecessors were too complex. Next comes…

The silent voice of those whose work powers everything you do screams loudly. Thank you for your contributions to society Dan

I think, like everything with Nix, if you recite the correct incantation for configuration you can avoid this issue. But it’s not default behavior

I’ll just say as nix Darwin user the default vanilla install does not garbage collect well and every 2 months or so I have to hack around nuking shit in my system to free up space.…

Agree but I think it’s interesting to discuss the larger implication here. Nix the language and ecosystem has historically been completely unapproachable for people unwilling to be…

I mean, just the way Tao phrases these inqueries seems to imply a weighting towards an extremely abstract and high level rigorous corpus. In a way, prompt engineering really is the…

1 year ago everyone would have called you insane for suggesting this. Now we all shrug and say yeah maybe we can do this and it’s actually a good idea?
