How quickly we forget. He was a compromise in resolving the board coup.

The lack of self-awareness with this post… Never mind the shameless self-promotion, doing it while decrying self-promotion means I’m never looking at your app, full-stop.

I hear ya. I've done some crazy things with `git reflog` (which I always pronounce git re-flog instead of ref-log) but it is not fun. There's the usual cognitive shift, and in my c…

Literally `jj undo` There's a whole operation log (`jj op log`), as another sequence of actions, and you can undo them. It gets crazier from there, but I've also been enjoying juju…

Oof. I’m sorry. From someone acquired by ServiceNow… I hope your stock options are worth it

Oh, dreidel as a drinking game sounds both horrific and hilarious. Here’s how I thought of it: Everyone starts with infinite gelt — or at least a liver — and ante/paying into the p…

“One, two, three, four Who’s punk what’s the score?” Get outta here with the gatekeeping

The Go is the more mature implementation; it's generally a lot easier to refactor Go as you're figuring things out and then can build the Rust version (which is a good bit faster) …

Wow, so many haters :( I love Rye. It does what it says on the tin. It makes the whole venv/Python-version/packaging process actually pleasant, and it’s invisible to someone used t…

Thank you! As you keep posting your progress, and I hope you do, adding these references would probably help warding off crusty fuddy-duddys like me (or at least give them more to …

Appreciate the link; but would still like to know how well it works. If you have a link for that, I’d be much obliged

> Thy are binary vectors with 768 dimensions, which takes up 96 bytes (768 / 8 = 96). I guess I’m confused. This is honestly the problem that most vector storage faces (“curse of d…

The article is right; I do not like ddevault, and refuse to use his software on my machines as a result. I will never pay him money. The article is also right that Redis is kinda '…

This is my problem too. I love Ubiquiti's stuff when it works, but my home switches 10Gig at the moment, and 10Gig from my ISP is coming soon. Right now I run a full-on firewall 1U…

Not to be on dangling modifier patrol, but I’d be quite amused if Columbus thought discoveries from America were worth $1.5M dollars (in a currency that hadn’t even come around yet…

This is also why managed Kubernetes is a useful thing (EKS, GKE, et al)... but if you still want to do it yourself, maybe look into some Kubernetes distros (like Typhoon ( https://…

Hear, hear The worst part of Rust, too, is that async/await is tacked on— and it’s just a bad primitive to start with. I have many more thoughts on this that I might like to blog a…

Your post and air quotes for “feature” are hella snide. In chess code, en passant is an edge case that takes a lot of code to cover, and not just some bug due to incompleteness. Ch…

I think you meant “borrow checker” because sure it does. It’s called a const reference. Want a mut borrow? That’s a pointer. That Rust can check these somewhat more explicitly (rat…

> and replaced it with a copy of the observable universe, and then did it again Sorry, it was totally in the tweet. Literally used the word replaced

Which is why I support the unique strings— but as you can also tell from many comments, this is not easy for a lot of very technical folk. What you’re saying is true— if you replac…

You’re right to go to Planck length to get a number of bits to represent an atom, but here’s another angle: To best guess, there are about 10^24 stars in the sky. That’s about 2^80…

Right idea on why it’s wrong, but it’s even worse than that! The kilobyte, say all 0s, represents the state of an entire multiverse. As my comment below, it’s maybe a couple dozen …

You can’t. It’s absurd. That’s my point. Even if you had a perfect 3D coordinate system and atoms worked on float64 boundaries, you’d still have 64 bits to represent one atom. So y…
