Hey Jason! :)

Main factors were (roughly in order): - None of us are experts in Rust, and we're all solid at Python. - Rust felt like an under-correction for what we wanted (get all friction in front of the LLM out of the way). - Our high-performanc

I'd be very curious to hear your take if you gave another language a proper try for comparison with the same tools. I think you'll be as surprised as we were.

The number of compiler runs doesn't matter as much as the total elapsed time it takes to finish the task. In just about every test we ran, LLMs are faster at building in Python than Haskell.

I would love to see that happen!

Scarf Gateway is a core service of Scarf ( https://scarf.sh ) that we've been running in production since 2020. You can think of it as a powerful link shortener that can also sit in front of Docker containers, Python packages

Absolutely agree. And that's why we've put so much effort into making sure the system handles all PII as correctly and securely as possible. End-user privacy does not need to be compromised in order to give OSS maintainers a basic

Great suggestion, very appreciated. Global privacy control wasn't on my radar but this looks like what we should do. DNT is considered deprecated, at least according to MDN docs.

This argument conflates licensing of a piece software with the the distribution channel that distributes artifacts of that software. The service being discussed here is purely part of the distribution layer and has no footprint on the arti

by aviaviavi 5y ago
User agent and other headers can be used to provide more differentiation, but you're correct to point out that limitation (assuming you meant IP not ISP).

Glad to hear and thanks for the kind words! Fully complying with GDPR is a requirement as we build this out. Our data policies and practices have been thoroughly reviewed by our legal team. If we are doing anything incorrectly with respect

Well, Scarf offers free pixel tracking too so you definitely have the correct model for what we do, though sorry to hear you dislike the approach. Our goal is to help enable OSS developers to financially support their work. Do you think it&

This still needs to be added to our docs. A `dnt=1` query param in a download URL is interpreted as an end-user opt-out. We plan to add more forms of opting out based on user feedback. We want to ensure it's low-friction to opt out of

In short, using Scarf does not provide personally identifiable information about who is downloading your artifacts because we don't have that data ourselves. The main way this is achieved is by purging any personally identifiable infor
