    Very nice. Macs have a new containers program. It’s open source on github but not ready for the current MacOS version. Might be an even better approach as it’s made by Apple.

    I followed his posts internally before he left. He was strict about resource waste. Hand tracking would break constantly and he brought metrics to his posts. His whole point was th…

    Big fan of her book as well though I don’t know if the recommended tools are still relevant.

    Opening an animal crossing next to a school in an area where there are many coyotes is a lot different than fingers pinched by doors. But if you’re making the argument that this an…

    No it’s not. I live there and my kids go to school there. I do see many coyotes in our area. Some tagged. Some not. It’s definitely a worry of mine. Edit: I have friends whose dogs…

    An animal crossing built right next to a school. I wonder if the coyotes that will cross will be a threat to the children.

    The real fear I have is in plausible deniability for filtering and muting discussion, which they do now. Moving it to a NN can always hand wave away the responsibility.

    You’d be calling libraries that are vetted by the security team. Engineering at Meta is a lot like coloring with crayons. It’s very limiting but the infra does a lot for you.

    This is great. Do you have any pointers to where those tests are? It’s hard to test the grammar without those. Edit: Never mind. I see it right there under the parser. Thanks!

    I actually have some experience porting these antlrs over to tree-sitter. I'll give it a shot.

    Does anyone have a good EBNF notation for Sqlite? I tried to make a tree-sitter grammar, which produces C code and great Rust bindings for it. But they use some lemon parser. Not s…

    Link us your eBPF disassembler if you can. Sounds cool.

    If you use jupyterlite, you're using the same thing. Bento is just the internal Meta version and the only potential benefits is the internal integration.

    Meta doesn't use git. It uses mercurial. It does fork it because they have a huge monorepo. They created a concept of stacked commits which is a way of not having branches. Each co…

    I really wonder why they didn’t choose something like RocksDB for more speed.

    The author took a tangent so fast and so long into some theater that they didn't ever explain what his problem with AI is. I would love to hear more about it and specifically how G…

    Code generation is very common at Meta. One just needs to create a query or fragment. A fragment can be spread at the root query level using relay so it will do the fetch once. It …

    The tweet that is linked in the web page is from the former managing editor of Al Jazeera. You can just click on the tweet directly and use Google translate.

    CRDB is Postgres compliant so the wire protocol and SQL syntax is all Postgres. It should be a 1 to 1.

    I used Pyodide ( https://pyodide.org/en/stable/ ) as a python execution environment in browser. That was pretty successful. There are also python libraries that let you generate a …

    I just built a tree-sitter parser for Presto. Does that count? But it seems like static analysis is more involved than just a parser.

    I think you were. But honestly I was curious. I wonder when people defend prejudiced things if they’re doing it knowingly or if it’s a subconscious thing. Defending the collective …

    It looks like a bug in the grammar. I’ll bookmark this and see if I can make time for it later. Probably won’t be able to. I recently build a grammar from scratch so I’m okay at tr…
