    Who is behind this site? Is this another frontend to Alibaba or a reseller in Singapore?

    The 'flash vs html5' chart looks strange juxtaposed with that conclusion

    Less space than a nomad. Lame. To be fair, I find the term to be as contrived as “performant”

    The iPad + keyboard combo is typically as heavy or even heavier than a laptop. It's certainly more expensive and restrictive. I have agree with the author's thesis here

    As a Pythonista I tend to agree. I had high hopes for Mojo but it's taking its due time to become usable outside the narrow focus of GPU programming, whereas Nim fits multiple nich…

    Really enjoying this so far! I’ve replaced about 900 lines of raw SQL and got validation and dashboard for free. The only gotcha I ran into is that Ty didn’t recognize some of the …

    This wasn't a judgement on systemd but the fact stands that Linux has long abandoned POSIX compatibility, udev being another prominent example. I'd say this is what ultimately driv…

    Systemd comes to mind, although it wasn’t as dominant initially

    Python is obviously too slow for web-scale

    When their questionnaire asked me for feedback I specifically mentioned that I hoped they would not reduce visibility to the point of Github Actions. I guess that fell on deaf ears…

    I’ve heard this before that common doses are unnecessarily high but why is that? Patents?

    I happen to use a Mac, even when targeting Linux so I'd have to use a container or VM anyways. It's nice how lightweight bubblewrap would be however. Consider one wanted to replica…

    I like the bubblewrap approach, it just happens to be Linux-only unfortunately. And once privileges are dropped for a process it doesn't appear to be possible to reinstate them.

    You're right that blocking on every operation would defeat the purpose! Shannot is able to auto-approve safe operations for this reason (e.g. read-only, immutable) So the agent can…

    I'm pursuing a different approach: instead of isolating where Claude runs, intercept what it wants to do. Shannot[0] captures intent before execution. Scripts run in a PyPy sandbox…

    Looks like the underdog beats it handily and easier deployment to boot. What's the catch?

    I’m building Shannot, a human-in-the-loop sandbox for AI agents on production systems. Instead of filtering commands with heuristics (which agents work around), it dry-runs entire …

    The gist dismisses sandbox-2 as “might as well use Docker or VMs” but IMO that misses what makes it interesting. The PyPy sandbox isn’t just isolation, it’s syscall interception wi…
