Gemini was a good laugh as well: Silas: I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? Gemini: …. That is a classic “efficiency vs. logic” dilemma. Strictly speaking, you should drive. H

Seems pretty similar to https://github.com/radioactive-labs/chrono_forge which is what I found when I typed in "rails durable execution patterns" into Google. Have you seen this and if so, how do you think i

moonlight / sunshine might work if you can't run it locally. It'd be best with hardwired network though.

I'm not trying to take a shot at the OP, but I keep seeing posts labeled "Production-Grade" that still look more like pet systems than cattle. I'm struggling to understand how something like this can be reproduced consis

I've been looking at this for gunzip files as well. There is a rust solution that looks interesting called https://docs.rs/indexed_deflate/latest/indexed_deflate/ . My goals are to be able to index mysql

While not specific to 12factor question. With any of these agents and solutions how is LLM Ops being handled? Also, what's the testing strategy and how do I make sure that I don't cause regression?

Doesn't "Buy, and buy from certified providers, simple. Manage identity centrally...." contradict each other?

Nice, I'm working in the same space as you (not opensource, personal project). We landed on the same solution, encoding the commands inside Golang and distributing those via SSH. I'm somewhat surprised not to see this more often.

Do you have any sources on GitHub moving away from Rails? This is the first that I've heard and my googlefu has returned zero results around this. Just last year they had a blog post around Building GitHub with Ruby and Rails[0] so y

I don't mind this style, it's encouraged by dry-monads with the do-notation. The big concern that I have with this code is it's missing a service level transaction.

Can't you use `mprotect` to allow you to write to memory and execute? https://github.com/Frodox/execute-machine-code-from-memory/t... has several examples of how to do it. EDIT: https://www.kvakil.

Not only that, but with https://litestream.io/ things becomes even more interesting. I'm currently using this for a small application to easily backup databases in docker containers.

ViewComponent, from Github makes writing views much better, but it's far from perfect.

This works pretty good, but we've ran into issues where the downloaded file isn't code signed and then this becomes a big issue. AFAIK, if this is a public CLI then homebrew will codesign for you, if you are distributing a privat

Those built-ins that you are talking about are not as well rounded as a dedicated framework. These built-ins operate at a different operating model than running additional background servers. This typically means that everyone in the org n

It'd be interesting if Mozilla offered a iCloud-like solution. Obviously, they wouldn't have the tight integration compared to Apple on mobile or desktop. They'd also need a really compelling use case that Apple can't

What I miss most about LAN parties was the fun of getting all the computers setup. Setting up servers to host things for others to downloads, troubleshooting networking, random projects, ... That void is somewhat filled with DN42.

I noticed the UI just filters the data queried. Is this a WIP or will the search feature actually update the search query?

You did a good job summarizing the frontend framework evolution, but I'm curious where you think the evolution in backend frameworks are going? I was thinking LiveView, but I also think WASM could come into play as well.

Not a large systems, but we started using https://backstage.io to help visualize our software. Additionally, we're hoping to leverage backstage plugins to provide tooling around ownership for our components.

I'm looking forward to more XDP + eBFP, VPP, or FD.io based firewall and routing solutions as I think those are where we'll see the next big improvement in networking at. I'm hoping to get my hands on some NICs that support X

Every org is different and I like to point out this article [1] to illustrate it. SRE is really what your company wants it to be. If you have full-cycle devs, then you're likely doing more platform work. If your devs lack the deploy a
