If someone proposes the right thing for selfish reasons, do we call that bad? Or do we call it proper incentive alignment?

In the course of my work I deal with organizations who sell cars out of impound lots. There is a whole capitalistic recycling industry of buying junked cars and reassembling them into functioning vehicles again. Interestingly, a fair portio

My favorite quote from the article: > So he calls Amanda Seyfried, who sits and watches the scene we’ve just seen of Holmes sitting and watching Seyfried portray her. This is so very Nathan Fielder. Perfect encapsulation of his unique br

The thing that people always miss about this takeaway is that while it is a truism, most data is actually inherently relational. Even in your example given, the individual components that are made to assemble that document are better repres

Nowadays all providers are, or can be somewhat easily, just use Upjet to convert a Terraform provider. They walked away from the custom provider maintenance model awhile back due to its lack of scaling potential and loss of network effects

Yes, your post is more an indictment of Terraform itself, rather than the grandparent's usage of it. I've had pretty good luck with Crossplane, it has its warts, but it removes the lack of obviousness that accompanies Terraform. U

Statistically, if it was LLM generated, is it actually more bug dense than human generated code was before this stuff all came out? This weird take of “an LLM made it, it must be slop and buggy” ignores the reality of how almost all softwar

“Journey” is an interesting way to frame purposefully creating an incomprehensible maze to force end users to walk through the entire warehouse. One of the worse “clever” design philosophies I’ve seen, it’s actively user hostile

I think there are two separate concerns here. The idea that long lived secrets survive in plaintext on a disk somewhere is a bad idea that should go away, but also tangential to that people have to have good hygiene around not printing evil

There’s some rather infamous examples I’ve seen recently of people unpacking grocery store bins at farmers markets. There is no provenance around the origin of the goods in most markets, more common of a problem than people might think. In

I agree, we have single stream where I live and just understanding the logistics of how single stream works it’s easy to see that single stream leads to a large portion of recycling material simply being discarded because of the reality of

Europeans seemed to manage to figure the problem out. It’s a cultural problem, not a scientific one. Because it requires gen pop to accept some sort of civic responsibility to do it properly, something Europeans have much more inkling to do

a bold attempt, how does it compare with https://github.com/nektos/act which has been the de-jure project in this space? Act has never been in my opinion super great, but it's also been several years since I'

Is this similar to Netmaker's offering? Platform wrapper around wireguard protocol?

Lot of people are building agent runtime platforms right now. Look at LiteLLM's play into the space, for example. It's the new hot space for innovation. IMO the main play here is going to be on the self hosted/provenance aspe

There’s just something so charming about this era of game design. I think SkiFree is a shit game by modern standards, but I absolutely love the design of some stick figure yeti inevitably coming and eating you no matter how good you think y

Anything that happens on the client, you can capture. You can capture anything delivered to the client that isn’t exposed by downloading the Claude code binary, unpacking it, and patching the nodejs HTTP library fetch call to listen for all

As an end user, I don't mind if you're building a product with rapidly changing API's out in the open. I'll still use the product if it's useful and deal with the churn. What I DO care about is not having half of th

Okay, that’s slightly more reasonable it means if I’m going to be rolling stuff back into OSM in a new country I should at least have a quick chat and ensure what I’m doing abides by that country’s regulations etc like South Korea has some
