I had a very similar single experience with Om: I was introduced completely randomly while he was at True Ventures; he couldn't have been nicer, more curious, or more genuine despi…

Layoff announcements are this kinda tricky class of corporate comms where you need to speak to at least 3 different constituents, with 3 different messages, which are often in conf…

Sure: I think you're essentially missing a whole set of concerns - ones that are not purely technical - behind why this method is popular; and so your arguments wouldn't convince s…

Bad faith, or perhaps just ignorance. It reminds me of purist junior engineers - and I have been one - refusing to understand or tradeoff in the world beyond their own. Rather than…

The ideas aren't mutually exclusive, and I've never seen an open source project support "curl | sh" without also supporting those methods. Indeed, plenty of these scripts often act…

I am genuinely curious what it tells you, as "curl https//.. | sh" has long been an enormously popular approach to distribution in the open source world. Homebrew, to name just one…

I really wanted to dislike the anonymous operator for the careless project (and the hilarious pomposity of the IRC subagent it spawned). Then I imagined the real-but-unknowable cha…

I've been enjoying Moat [1]. Proxies credentials, networking, etc; uses MacOS containers if available; and setup worked without much fuss. I haven't tried others, though. [1] https…

> How could it be better? On a purely language basis, I'd start with the things the BrighterScript [1] folks have done to clean up the warts and inconveniences of the language. Per…

Because the repo includes the tool authored for, and discussed in, the "blog"?

Could a supply chain attacker simulate an advisory-remediating release somehow, i.e., abuse this feature to bypass cooldowns?

Yes, seeing periodic 5xx errors (though eventually succeeds). Interestingly `bun upgrade` catches "GitHubIsDown" as a specific case: $ bun upgrade Bun v1.2.20 is out! You're on v1.…

Right, but, they never owned it, and would never attempt to assert that. So in hindsight (and similar to GP) compliance was a worse and more frustrating option than simply never me…

Ugh, you gave me bad flashbacks of the same committee. I tried to re-license a previously-released project (like from GPL to MIT or similar) and they wouldn't budge. I had written …

A very well-written and persuasive critique, thank you for it. (And god I hope you’re not a state-of-the-art summarization LLM.)

Thought this was going to be an mmWave sensor with an "AirBnB host friendly" UI of some sort.. turns out it's just a network sniffer? Seems.. defeatable. > How it Works > > Party S…

I've been interested in doing this as a side project too, ever since "unwiring" my jeep in a similar fashion (rip out modem). My quick-and-dirty idea was to stand up a Discourse fo…

I refer back to your exact blog post every 6 months or so to see how (or if) its various issues have been smoothed out, and whether I should recommend it in a new build. Thanks muc…

0.5% -> 0.7% = 40% increase in fees, for affected customers. (edit: 0.7% not 0.8%)

In case you're interested, there's a fascinating recent book about the effects roads & road development have on their surroundings (and the planet at large): _Crossings_ by Ben Gol…
