I wrote my own (or rather, had Claude write it), https://github.com/hanwen/runclaude . Mine uses containers, and makes only the git/jj workspace read/write, hiding all credentials that are in my home dir.

Yes. The links are to isolated threads on a rail (model) forums (apparently, this publisher markets books/magazines related to railway models). It's hard to see if the individual complaints really support a general problem, or if

Curiously, if you look for "geramond verlag betrugsmasche", or "verlagshaus24 betrugsmasche", it will now tell you that there are no indications it is a scam, but "significant organizational problems and extr

I got tired of the permission prompts and wrote a filesystem/network sandbox so I could skip all permission checks. It works on the same principle as bubblewrap, but has some niceties to separate Claude from its credentials. See https

interesting article, but now I'm left wondering how the glucose gets to the retina. Why is this easier than supplying oxygen?

That is not quite the right word. For Python, the headcount was moved from the Bay Area (the most expensive place in the world to hire software engineers) to Munich (the most expensive place in Germany to hire SWEs.), for cost saving reason

Is anyone from GitButler reading this? As others alluded, JJ already exists and is a credible successor to Git for the client side. Technical desides aside though: how is this supposed to make money for the investors?

blaze/bazel was a big improvement over its predecessor (a set of python scripts that generated huge makefiles), but that did not make it free of accidental engineering. The google infrastructure teams were very tightly staffed, so for

"WarpBuild are still the better option." what makes you think they won't hike the control plane price again? They can turn this knob arbitrarily to put you out of business.

IIUC, on EC2, the disk (EBS)is one service, and snapshots are in another service (S3). Taking a snapshot involves copying the entire disk to S3, while restoring a snapshot pages blocks in from S3 as the VM accesses the disk.

Also: did you consider using LVM snapshots?

Thanks for writing the blog post; it was a fascinating read! I was curious about a couple of things: * Have you considered future extensions where you can start the VM before you completed the FS copy? * You picked XFS over ZFS and BTRFS. A

IIRC it already uses content defined chunking for finding object deltas.

Hi! sorry for not responding to your email, I was swamped. I looked through the sourcecode, but I can only find UI (ie. browser) code. Does this do anything beyond delivering a more functional and prettier UI on top of an existing zoekt dep

Both David Chang and his staff are ridiculous. Different parts of the bird take different times to cook, so for food quality, cooking a bird as a whole makes no sense: either the breasts are overcooked, or the thighs are undercooked. There

Developer infrastructure at google reported into cloud from 2013 to 2019, and we (i was there) tried to do exactly that: building products for gcp customers based on our experience with building interval developer tools. It was largely a di

Haskell is another oddball. It was for a hardware project that used the to-be-auctioned analog TV RF spectrum for a new WAN standard. It was canceled when it became clear the spectrum wasn´t going to be available. The Haskell rules then stu

Hi, I wrote zoekt. From what I understand valtown does, I would try to use brute force first (ie. something equivalent to ripgrep). Once that starts breaking down, you could use last-updated-timestamps to reduce the brute force: * make a tr

In the Bazel build system, you would mark the test data blob as testonly=1. Then the build system guarantees that the blob can only be used in tests. This incident shows that killing the autoconf goop is long overdue.

Does that work? The canal goes across a mountain range; you'd have to pump a lot of water uphill. It's probably cheaper to ship the goods by train instead.
