I'm experimenting with OpenShell / NemoClaw. It brings some extra sandboxing features compared to just a docker container. For instance it also maps the secrets that the agent harness has access to. And has an allow list for outgo

I guess this is a sign that Mistral AI is on to something.

Maybe the pitch is: git is distributed. Decentralised improvement. Local computers and their users make changes. These steps of local added value are then centrally combined into a shared timeline. A single product. During the improvement

I keep the context concise by linking from claude.md to markdown files with the hardware architecture, the network architecture, the processing tech stack. Concise and specific. And a current project md. I mix in the parts that are relevant

Very nice that there's a coding cli finally. I have a Mistral Pro account. I hope that it will be included. It's the main reason to have a Pro account tbh.

I was excited at the idea of ShapeRank. A modern APL successor aimed at tensors, vectors, arrays of unbounded length. Unfortunately work on it seems to have stopped two years ago. https://github.com/f5devcentral/shapeRa

I wonder if MS is aiming to use the conversations about software that employees are having in Teams meetings as training data for AI. To automate them away.

I think Americans pronounce names like Weinstein as 'winesteen'. So perhaps the pronunciation of the latter syllable makes German origin diphthongs confusing.

It's an interesting idea; not having to stash messages in the actor implementation when doing an async call. I did a little experiment what that could look like using Akka and kotlin suspend functions https://github.com&#x2F

The need for flags in itself may be a sign of the wrong approach. You create a shared module. But for some cases the handling should be different. Let's pass in a flag or configuration. So somewhere in the shared component it will han

Are you in the EU? I'm a developer in the EU and that is patently not true. Developers have to have mechanisms in place to delete gdpr data when required and not store data that's not required for you goals. In my experience gdpr

In 1969 the national TV news broadcast in the Netherlands reported that inspectors would be driving through the streets to catch people who hadn't paid their license fee. "Surely people won't be wrapping their tvs in aluminiu

Your word of caution is important. For some projects it's not initially clear what the right data model and bounded contexts are. And for some projects it's just overhead. But the converse is also true: for some projects/syst

When designing C# Anders Heljsberg decided against following Java's checked exceptions. You can find his argument against in the interview from 2003 https://www.artima.com/intv/handcuffs.html

The monadic approach to exceptions like it's done here has the downside of having to encode all your business logic in maps and flatmaps. All the intermediary functions will have to return Try. And all the Try values have to combined i

I've developed in Scala for 5 yrs, last yr in Kotlin. Scala spearheaded from 2007 a lot of features that nowadays are the norm for statically typed programming languages. Odersky is a visionary imo. For a while I experienced Kotlin as

I agree. Naming parts of your code is important. An alternative to named local vals is to either use named functions instead of lambdas: people.filter(olderThan50) or (I use Kotlin) use named extension functions: people.countOlderThan50()

As another Utrechter I'm really impressed with the large bicycle garages on either side of the new railway station. It really makes cycling from and to the station a great experience. There are quite a few grand new railway stations t

I find checked exceptions interesting. They happen to be the only example of an effect system in a mainstream language. Anders Hejlsberg formulated the main argument against them here [1] Basically the problem is that checked exceptions ar

We've been using mobx-state-tree too. What I like is that it's easier to gain an understanding of the moving parts of my application; how actions, derived data and data work together. On the other hand the support for Typescript i
