You are most likely confusing OpenClaw with Moltbook, which is the project that had the most glaring vulnerabilities. But even if OpenClaw was full of holes it would not matter. Pe…

Antirez (the author of this interpreter) uses it for the Redis test suite. Personally, I know Lua and Python very well but I still used TCL a few years ago for something very speci…

You probably know but others might not: they have the same author.

Not only that, he's very enthusiastic about AI analyzers such as ZeroPath and AISLE. He's written about it here: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/10/10/a-new-breed-of-analyz... and…

Most people don't use the standard library to make a HTTP request in Python either... I agree with the sentiment though, I even gave a talk about this at Lua Workshop 2013 ( https:…

Their Granite family of models is actually pretty good! They just aren't working on the mainstream large LLMs that capture all the attention.

If you're looking for something light, self-hostable and a bit more "social" (i.e. with pull requests and bug creation from the web) I recommend looking at https://tangled.org It d…

It's way more complicated than this. First, this is mostly about things that happened before his election. The tribunal ruled he did not personally benefit, and he did not directly…

No, he means most NVIDIA-related software assumes a x86 CPU whereas this one is ARM.

You can use a remote FS but it is nowhere close to the experience VSCode gives you. For instance, running code will run it locally, not on the remote machine.

Hey! I'm a Sublime Text user since ST2 in 2011. I love ST (my last blog post is https://blog.separateconcerns.com/2025-01-04-teal-lsp-sublim... ) and I think the main thing lacking…

Yes, if you assume some of the clients go away indefinitely without giving their share back and you don't have a solution to deal with this, it's a problem. Solutions are relativel…

Also I had forgotten but here is a more recent follow-up to Fred Hebert's post: https://ferd.ca/a-bridge-over-a-river-never-crossed.html

I don't really know what you mean regarding pathological subdivisions, but the case where nodes go offline without merging first is a real issue. There are ways to work around it b…

Yes, the original link is dead, and that one doesn't work for me currently. I'll edit the post if I find a working one. EDIT: I found where the paper has moved, I have updated the …

Hello, author here. Sorry about the lack of clarity, this article is the transcript of a 5 min lightning talk and it was really hard fitting all the relevant content in that little…

Lima did not use ITC in its product anyway, we used classic version vectors. We considered them for future evolutions but never implemented it. It's funny that Fred Herbert's use c…

There are several alternatives using Lua too, including for instance PICO-8 https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

He wrote a science-fiction book, then did some things with e-ink hardware and some with AI.

The best way to pull this off is to bet the tool will end up shutting down and build the replacement before it does. A good example of this is Pinboard: Maciej knew the product ins…

It works properly with PyTorch. For what it's worth at $DAYJOB we switched from Poetry to Rye starting from version 0.15 (even before it supported uv) for that reason initially.

Teal ( https://github.com/teal-language/tl ) is the closest we have from a "TypeScript for Lua". It is natively supported by many projects now, including game engines such as the B…

Talking about bait and switch for Redis makes no sense. Redis is a 15 years old project started in 2009 by Salvatore 'Antirez' Sanfilippo. He worked on his startup, then at VMWare,…
