I just hope this becomes the law everywhere (or at least, selfishly, in the UK).

Victorian brick houses are all lime based, pointing (mortar between bricks), render outside and internal plaster. (Ours is 140 years old ish). Lime is also more flexible (these houses have minimal to no foundation and constantly move), it’s

It wears down quicker than concrete (you can scratch it easily with a nail and minimal pressure). But we’re still talking 50+ years (before repointing brick, in my case). As long as maintained it’ll last forever (our home is 140 years old,

Posting it because I just started watching and it’s simultaneously funny and utterly, utterly depressing. Is this really where we’re going?

Reminds me of a similar effect around iPhone releases ( https://www.statista.com/chart/2514/iphone-releases/ , many others). Can’t say I’ve noticed any change.

Somewhat ironic that the site is completely broken on mobile, the text doesn’t render until you scroll near past it. Production code eh?

Exactly! Would like to understand more how that came about. PEP exists for a reason.

Indeed! (I am that original contributor :)), lots of work ongoing to address this, we now have a small maintainers group and are sharing out review and release loads.

This! Been trying to find the best (least worst) solution to this since 2015 when I started pyinfra. Done ast parsing/hacking, done weird context managers instead, tried rewriting statements to context managers. _if is the latest, and

Pyinfra creator here - thank you so much for all the kind words, really means a lot to myself and the other maintainers, feeling the love.

Absolutely zero sympathy. You’re responsible for anything an agent you instructed does. Allowing it to run independently is on you (and all the others doing exactly this). This is only going to become more and more common.

One silver lining this is finally going to push me to switch to a dedicated camera and some niche unrestricted Linux or graphene device as a phone. Goodbye iPhone. (I say this as someone with an Apple account old enough to auto “qualify”, h

Also parent in the UK - strong disagree, it’s part of our parental responsibilities to set this up, not doing it is the same as not watching a newly walking baby on the stairs (/etc). Compromising everyone’s privacy for a subset of laz

I’m predicting a wave of such incidents to start appearing over the next few months/years.

There's https://happy.engineering/ which already does this with many fewer bugs and supports codex.

All of these agent wrappers/claws/whatever seem to encourage wildly irresponsible usage of AI. Sure it can get stuff done in what is effectively a simple loop but without review we’re just playing with fire. I was experimenting wi

Worse than yesterday I reckon - no status page update, actions/etc are delayed by 15-45 minutes, some just never run. Bit of a mess!

Damn I ripped all our telephone lines out and ran cat6 up through the house to my office and I could have just done this?! Well shit.

As a primarily Go dev - 100% agree. The endless check and wrap error results in long chains of messages you have to grep for to understand the call stack. For what benefit? Might as well just panic and recover/log the stack in many cas

The key here is a singleton sequencer component that stamps the new versions. There was a great article shared here on similar techniques used in trading order books ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46192181 ). Agree th

Eight, but half of them exist as long running test accounts for Kanmail (kanmail.io) so arguably do not count. I do use them for legit emails though, new services usually get one of four test emails.
