I definitely appreciate all the work that has gone in to LiteLLM but it doesn't take much browsing through the 7000+ line `utils.py` to see where using it could become problematic ( https://github.com/BerriAI/litell

Seems to be a change in Cloudflare's managed WAF ruleset - any site using that will have URLs containing 'camel' blocked due to the 'Apache Camel - Remote Code Execution - CVE:CVE-2025-29891' (a9ec9cf625ff4276929867

Thanks, this is an important nuance. Recommendation algorithms are absolutely useful, and if you're so inclined you can absolutely make them work for you, but this is about making educated, conscious decisions about what you click next

Great point. I'm personally trying linkblogging and following other link blogs inspired by Simon Willison [1]. The more people that do this the more we can start rebuilding networks of people we trust and still retain control over the

I was definitely influenced to write this by Alec's excellent video which I recommend everyone watch. I'd hoped it would be a way to share my own opinions on it, summarise my own personal concerns, as well as adding my own recomme

This looks very useful and far less hacky than my solution using OBS' Browser source and Bodypix/Tensorflow.js ( https://usher.dev/posts/make-your-webcam-look-slightly-more-... ). Can't get it to work at t

Excellent! It's great when it tries to generate code: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/8138 (the last line here made me laugh)

This is great - any others you can recommend?

Fair enough! I'm intrigued to know your opinion of the game from what you've played of it. Do you enjoy the synchronization/counting aspect?

I think that's a little reductive - there is more to it in the same way that there's more to poker than hoping you get dealt a good hand (I'm sure that's opening a can of worms). It's not a game designed purely for

I've never been able to find the one note-taking system to rule them all, but that seems to be because the contexts in which I need to write/access notes are quite different. At the moment I've settled on a three-tier system:

I'm a big Moo.do[0] fan - I use it for notes, my todo list, and agenda, so at the moment I've got it set up as my new tab with some custom CSS to hide the stuff I don't need to see in that context. This seems to distill the c

I've been seeing an unusual amount of NTP requests in my PiHole logs but never got round to figuring out the cause - nice to have an explanation. Hope this is fixed in a firmware update, my repeater is quite a nice device otherwise.

For what it's worth, I use Insomnia every day with some pretty large requests and I've never had an issue with it. With this, VSCode, Slack & Boostnote - a good portion of my daily work is done in Electron apps and I can'

Ambitious is definitely the right word for this game. I've put about 7 hours in to it so far and can definitely say I've not played anything quite like it. It's huge, full of unique art and writing, and has managed to surpris

I've not come across anything that I would call 'epic' from a minimal set of rules, but some of my favourites that you can throw in your bag, teach in 2 minutes and play in 15: Welcome to the Dungeon/Dungeon of Mandom -

This looks nice and simple! I've been enjoying Lost ( https://github.com/peterramsing/lost ) with PostCSS for grids recently - it has Flexbox support which works well and keeps grid class names out of my markup.

Great work, I've been enjoying using this exact stack recently - this has definitely taught me a few things. The main thing I'm still trying to get my head round with React/Redux/Router is where in the lifecycle to do da

Sorry for the nausea - it's only after posting that I realised I could have been less antagonising. It's good to hear your opinions though.

I wouldn't call it zealotry, but probably resistance to change. As with anything new and interesting, it's easy to insert a fictional future scenario that takes away what makes our personal lives rich and enjoyable. I love to cook

Thanks for the answer (and to everyone else that replied) - it's always good to hear the other side of the debate. I could never imagine myself in a situation where I'd consider it so important to be constantly busy that I wouldn&

I've been following Ansible from the start, Michael has always seemed like an excellent lead for the project - he's had a strong opinion and vision for the project - Ansible has turned out really well as a result. More recently, A

This looks great, nice work. For the dev/prod parity use case, where do you usually draw the line between Packer and Vagrant? I'm currently building boxes with Veewee with all dependencies pre-installed and distributing this to th

I've enjoyed using Peewee[1] as a lightweight ORM for Python - mainly for scripting data manipulation on legacy databases but it does the job nicely. How does Pony ORM compare? [1] https://github.com/coleifer/peewee

Slate also recently started supporting configs written in JavaScript ( https://github.com/jigish/slate/wiki/JavaScript-Configs ) which is very powerful.
