    This approach seems to be everywhere. But if you have a defined workflow, requirements, clear permissions, etc, it makes more sense to feed them to codex once and have it build a w…

    I was expecting this to be the point of the article when I saw the title. Popular projects appear to be drowning in PRs that are almost certainly AI generated. OpencodeCli has 1200…

    All the use cases that popped into my head when I saw this were around how nice it would be to be able to quickly see what was really happening without trying to flop between logs …

    Thinking about this some more, maybe I wasn't considering simulators (aka digital twins), which are supposed to be able to create fairly reliable feedback loops without building th…

    This is sort of why I think software development might be the only real application of LLMs outside of entertainment. We can build ourselves tight little feedback loops that other …

    I was hoping Bash would go away or get replaced at some point. It's starting to look like it's going to be another 20 years of Bash but with AI doodads.

    How fast is it?

    I've never had that great of a memory. The upside is that you can have a bad memory and good note taking skills and be more effective than the 'good memory' people. Really it's jus…

    And the implication is the 'quality' of engineers at the companies is actually reversed - the top performers at Dropbox are struggling and leaving while the under performers at FAN…

    This looks kind of interesting. I might try this. Thanks.

    Fair enough. Although that seems rather complicated for those of us just trying to get a quick cert for an internal host. The LetsEncrypt forums are full of this discussion: [1] ht…

    Another nuisance is that unencrypted port 80 must be open to the outside world to do the acme negotiation (LE servers must be able to talk to your acme client running at the subdom…

    There are lots of simple things that are normally easier to do in the web framework that are suddenly easier to do in the database (with the side effect that you can do DB optimiza…

    I'm on a POC project that's using PostgREST and it's been extremely fast to get a big complicated data model working with an API in front of it. But I guess I don't get how to real…

    That's what I want... this would force me to make a different account for every topic I might comment/post on, and they can have their own local networks. If it's a topic that I kn…

    Ok but how do I know I should trust Cure53?

    Comment #28349582

    This is a research university that moves very slow, so waiting two years for something better is actually a possibility (and prerendering to S3 works ok for now). I'll keep this bo…

    Comment #28349571

    Thanks, I hadn't heard of that and I will look into it. This is a research setting with plenty of hardware we can request and not a huge number of users so that part doesn't worry …

    This is on our list of possibilities. It would take a little more time than I'd like to spend on this problem but it would work.

    How to make png encoding much faster? I'm working with large medical images and after a bit of work we can do all the needed processing in under a second (numpy/scipy methods). But…

    My boss did UI/UX on Mosaic (we are both at NCSA today). I will ask her on Tuesday when I see her. She has lots of wild stories about why things are the way they are.

    Looks really nice. The big blob of parameters in the kwargs looks pretty intimidating to get correct. Maybe consider a builder object for the config: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

    The nice thing about programming on a RaspberryPI is that the only websites that are light enough to use are Google, Stackoverflow, Github, ReadTheDocs, etc. If you try to check Re…

    All it needs to be able to do is page-down or scroll-down and I want it (I have RSI problems in my hands).
