Perhaps this should be "People don't understand how to implement good MCP servers" as opposed to MCP is dead. MCP shouldn't be 1-1 to API. It should empower users and LLMs to perform tasks and see data. CLIs don't i

Have run into this multiple times with them in multiple companies. For those asking, it's about the "VitualBox 6.1.32 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" - it's free to install but phones home and they reach out after a

I've never had to configure yapf, even though I could... "yapf -i --style=pep8" works great.

by crad 5y ago
What's wrong with configurable? Too much opportunity to bikeshed? I figured yapf was not "new" which is why black won. Starting about 5-6 years ago there was a push in the Python community to replace solved problems with new

yeah, it's just too bad that black violates PEP-8.

I'll take yapf --style=pep8 formatting over black any day.

My company went full remote in response to Covid in March of 2020 and things continued to work well for us, so much so, we decided to stay that way. As a result, my wife and I were able to move, though we did the opposite of what you'r

Great writeup, lots of detail and links off to reference material. I wish more posts were like this.

So my take-away from browsing the site: It's the team who built an open-source editor at GitHub and they are building a new editor. Cool... I want to check it out. Signup for a waitlist? Login? Seems like they're building a busine

pipx is a solution without a problem. pip worked well. setuptools was fine. pypa is breaking packaging by making it more complex and less usable IMO. pip + setuptools using setup.cfg works very well. It seems to me the Python packaging comm

Been in us-east-1 for a long time. Things like Direct Connect and other integrations aren't easy or cheap to move and when you have other, bigger priorities, moving regions is not an easy decision to prioritize.

We make heavy usage of Kinesis Firehose in us-east-1. Issues started ~1:24am ET and resolved around 7:31am ET. Then really kicked in at a much larger scale at 10:32am ET. We're now seeing failures with connections to RDS Postgres and o

I've been involved in open source for a long time (well before GitHub). My experience is that there are different groups with different motivations wrt open source. As someone who has been in the "open source for the common good&q

> It is still a walled garden that limits hardware access, preventing the user from getting full performance out of the device. That's not been my experience, but I guess in such circumstances your mileage may vary.

I understand you see it that way, but... > ... there's no placating the Apple horde with the truth. Pretty much summarizes what's I was suggesting as hostile.

> Open source started as a political movement. GNU is not the sole foundation of open source.

> No. I criticise this project because it adds value to a device that we should all be boycotting. That's a pretty loaded, holier than thou attitude. Keep your politics out of my computing and open source, please.

Are you familiar with BootCamp, an explicitly advertised feature to boot into Windows ( https://support.apple.com/boot-camp ) - They've advertised it quite a bit. They maintain Windows drivers for their hardware. Re on t

I think that page does a bit of a disservice to AsyncAPI. IIRC it was "OpenAPI" but for messaging.
