7up is truly one of the most astonishing and ambitious pieces of television ever made. When I found it, I couldn't stop watching it and I learned a ton from it. Highly recommended!

I was on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore last year and was disappointed that I wasn't able to see the labyrinth. Also if I remember correctly the tower of the church wasn't accessible due to renovations. I'm glad to hear t

I agree, same for foreign keys, triggers, higher isolation levels, the list goes on

DSQL looks like a Big Deal to me - solving the essential scaling bottleneck that relational DBs give you without ending up with a weird system like dynamodb that no one wants to use. Why aren't more people talking about it?

Please go on. I also feel like asyncio is a big hack. Even just accidentally blocking the event loop is way too easy. And I couldn't believe it when I read that you need to store a reference to a task in a set to keep it from accidenta

My advice: - Don't use long-running transactions. They are a risk for db health. Only use transaction when you have a strong justification - Set idle_in_transaction_session_timeout to prevent a long-running transaction from holding on

Thanks for the link. As a longtime listener, listening to Bob Garfield's voice brought a tear to my eye - I'm a big fan and was sad when he left OTM, as much as I admire Brooke.

Sometimes TCP/IP is a leaky abstraction, and recently ipv6 peeked through in two separate instances: - In a cafe wifi, I had partial connectivity. For some reason my wifi interface had an ipv6 address but no ipv4 address. As a result,

I don't think I get notified but maybe it's because my replies are unpopular

by loevborg 5mo ago
I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me

This was pre-Anthropic but the fact that Bun automatically loads .env files if they're present almost disqualifies it from most tasks https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/23967 It makes it hard to take

You're right about process.argv - wow, that looks like a maintenance and testability nightmare.

useCanUseTool.tsx looks special, maybe it'scodegen'ed or copy 'n pasted? `_c` as an import name, no comments, use of promises instead of async function. Or maybe it's just bad vibing...

Can you give an example? Looks fairly decent to me

OMG that looks amazing. As a Clojure acolyte of 10+ years, I can't wait to see this.

This looks like a useful set of guidelines. I see the most value in reducing the bikeshedding which invariably happens when designing an API. I wonder if anyone is using AEP and can comment on downsides or problems they've encountered.

I'm a big Rich Hickey fan. He's a big user of a (to me) peculiar variant of the phrase, "it ends up": a total of 144 times in https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts It also struck me as a bit

Literally every interview I've done recently has included the question: "What's your stance on AI coding tools?" And there's clearly a right and wrong answer.

Nice write-up, thanks for sharing. How does your hand-vibed python program compare to frameworks like pipecat or livekit agents? Both are also written in python.

FWIW, Typescript is using Strategy 2: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/GYVwdgxgLglg9mABM... I'm a bit confused by the fact that the array starts out typed as `any[]` (e.g. if you hover over the decl

Yeah that's a painful process, as I know from experience. What do you think is the reason for the gradual shift?

This is fascinating. It sounds like you're building "cloud datastructures" based on S3+CAS. What are the benefits, in your view, of doing using S3 instead of, say, dynamo or postgres? Or reaching for NATS/rabbitmq/s
