CL and Janet both come to mind as supporting image-based deployment.

I've had a good time using my Google Home devices exclusively as kitchen timers and music playing devices, though they semi frequently get song requests wrong.

There are Lisps with similar semantics. It faded (further) out of popularity for a number of reasons, but it still has its niche.

> The one thing that falls over is that the webhooks are actually self modifying code since you have an 'on commit' webhook that bootstraps the actions logic from the workflow.yaml…

The only statement I'm making about their system is that it appears to be poorly designed, as evident by their poor uptime. The rest is just visible details about what data is invo…

That "scheduling" is just a git hook and a message queue, maybe with some database updates in between with very clear boundaries that make sharding easy to reason about, assuming t…

That kind of thing is extremely rare in the US sadly.

Unfortunately coding is a perishable skill, unlike walking which is at least partially ingrained into our DNA.

You really can't appreciate how awesome Clojure is until you're coming from Java, can you...

Zitron is a hack who sells anger to people who don't know any better. Just because he's right about some things doesn't mean you should give him the time of day.

Sure, but you can still use a Titan T3 or recent Yubikey model on an iPhone. If I had the threat model to justify it, I would not set up the passkey in Apple's infrastructure. It i…

> Unfortunately, the designers of passkeys decided they should replace passwords and usernames and second factors. They obviate the need for a user identifier as the key is itself …

> Every device is supposed to have its own unique private key, stored in TPM, released only when passing the user challenge (biometrics or pin, or a yubikey). This is a misconcepti…

One recommendation: do not let the LLM write your README for you. It can write other docs (though IME they still suck at it), but your README needs to be focused and easily digesti…

No, I think the technology fundamentally is not there and a decade away even with stronger financial incentives (of which there are already plenty). Between range, charge times, an…

I don't think electric trucks are actually ready for the realities of long haul trucking, especially in a country as expansive as the US.

Modern hardware mostly benefits from the optimizations made for older hardware too, so I'm not really sure what your point is.

For a relatively low-traffic site like Lobster's, yeah I'm not surprised they don't need anything crazy. SQLite is really efficient and modern hardware is really fast.

And more power to you. I find the SQLite database of plain-text to be a worthwhile tradeoff to grow past the limitations of plain markdown files.

Honestly, using AI helps me get more done in a day because I can delegate some decision making to it, usually inconsequential stuff.

I've found it lacking, especially with kinda buggy interaction with the vim keybindings. Obsidian's data model, a huge selling point to some, really hinders it too. Logseq's new db…

I really like the art direction of the new GitS adaptation (I hope this retro style gets used more), but yeah it's completely different in tone from the '95 adaptation and most of …

They're not even technically one organism, but colonies of independent but mostly specialized organisms. I'd be willing to bet that has something to do with the articles title

This [0] refers to their warehouse workers, but I've heard of similar problems during the earlier 2020s engineer hiring boom (on reddit iirc) 0: https://www.theguardian.com/technol…

That's true to a point, but Amazon is finding out the hard way that eventually the well of people willing to put up with bullshit runs dry and it becomes much harder to get actuall…
