Stackoverflow started failing when Jeff left. While he had a big hand in the whole mantra of being more of a Wiki than just Q&A, I feel his sense of community wouldn’t have let it …

Is there a way to determine if a particular connection is falling back to DERP today? I have a pretty basic setup with tailscale setup on an Apple TV behind a bunch of UniFi device…

I've been wondering where the commercial service would come in and this sounds like just the right product that aligns with what you're already doing and serves a real need. Settin…

Do you have an example of this?

What issues are you having with uvx? It replaces tools like pipx that set up implicit venvs to run specific tools. Works great for me.

Perceived only at this stage, though the kind of volume we’re looking at is 10s to 100s of millions of jobs per day. https://github.com/riverqueue/river/issues/746 talks about some…

Cloudtasks are excellent and I’ve been wanting something similar for years. I’ve been occasionally hacking away at a proof of concept built on riverqueue but have eased off for a w…

The “hello Bluey” at the end gets me every time.

I used to have the same setup - a global tools venv with some useful dependencies. Uv takes the position that since it’s so fast to install dependencies and create environments, yo…

Agree. Rounding most of the advice to providing an executive summary is about right. If you’re not fully confident and think an experiment is worth while, lead with that, and provi…

I often give similar advice to colleagues that ask me for pointers on getting their recommendations approved. "Make it as easy as possible for them to say yes" Don't dump 14 paragr…

They’re being attacked both for refusing to work with gangs or for working with a rival gang.

What I was hoping to be able to do was run our existing cpython project on graal to try and benefit from whatever speedups the jvm (or, if possible, compiling to a native module) w…

Appreciate the further details, thanks! This is a huge undertaking, good luck, and I'll be checking back in here and there.

Tried to use graalvm (interpreter) to run a fairly large project at my $dayjob$ and ran into a few issues right away. - Maturin doesn't support the graal interpreter, so no Py03 pa…

Rye was started by Armin as a collection of existing tools (mostly) with a frontend similar to cargo. Then Astral came out with uv which aims to be a frontend into a collection of …

This is what jumped out to me reading this article too - unashamedly admitting to having gaps in knowledge that some others might take for granted. Bucketing some of those gaps as …

You don’t think if the company behind GitHub went all-in on mercurial that might have emerged as the winner? There were plenty of companies using either. Git wasn’t the only distri…

Once. Never again.

It doesn’t work with psycopg or many other libraries that use c extensions. That’s the main reason.

Even better, if your testing framework supports it, mark the test as expecting failure in your regression commit, then remove the xfail in the commit that fixes the bug.

No, which is why I think there has been less support for the (previous) OSS company than some other projects. Redis labs effectively became the defacto owner of the project later d…
