It's not Rust, it's not production ready, and I haven't actually used it (only read the README and blog posts), but I really enjoy the ideas behind https://github.com/256lights/zb - see https:/&#x2

Oh absolutely, the real win is being able to play with a concept with no risk

I love the freedom in a side project to write a thing, then rewrite it, then decide on a new requirement and rewrite it again. No deadlines, no stress, just incrementally experimenting until I'm happy. At work they rely on me to delive

Sounds neat, but please make testing first class - it should be easy to run functions locally, or to have the same code "infrastructure" run in dev/test/prod environments, etc

Practically I think you're correct, but I personally prefer owning the files instead of keeping them stored on Google (though of course you could set up automation to export on a schedule or something).

I'm adding zsh shell completion to my CLI framework ( https://github.com/bbkane/warg/tree/bbkane/the-flattening-2-... )! I'm writing bigger CLIs with it now and I want to tab through their subc

I appreciate his argument about tooling lasting a while, but for me the most important thing is the durability of the content format (markdown), and, secondly, owning the domain name. If, for example, their posts were stored as Word documen

I also don't think there's a specification written for the jq query language, unlike https://jmespath.org/ , which as you mentioned also has more client libraries. I too am probably going to embed jmespath in my a

You two should get in touch and swap roles occasionally

Maybe less of a philosophy doc, but I found the Google SRE workbook to have plenty of helpful concrete examples

I've never internalized this, so I usually stick to using absolute paths... Not a solution for all problems, but it works for me most of the time.

Unfortunately, Python CLI startup time is correlated with how many files the interpreter has to interpret, which usually takes effort to combat, so larger CLIs that have a lot of functionality and thus files always seem to slow down. The Az

I personally appreciate the newbie friendliness and glitter, and even the "make the common case easier at the expense of composability" tradoff, though I think tlmost of these tools are still relatively composable.

https://100go.co/ has a great list of Go footguns

Pathetic? Looks nice and straightforward to me!

I actually really enjoy Go. Sure it has a type system I wish was more powerful with lots of weird corners ( https://100go.co/ ), but it also has REALLY GOOD tooling- lots of nice libraries, the compiler is fast, the editor

Have you used ripgrep? It's so much nicer for day to day usage! That's why it should come by default. Seriously, try it out, I'm sure you'll love it!

I think https://veloren.net/ has contributors who have put a lot of work into simulation geology, but I can't recall the place I read that

I disagree - I think there are fundamental tradeoffs between declarative and imperative ways of configuration so they'll never "converge" completely. I am a huge fan of each camp stealing ideas from the other and thus "c

I love Solitaire - it's such a nice way to kill a few minutes while waiting for something else. Unfortunately, many solitaire phone apps are filled with ads, slow, or have clunky controls. A few years ago, however, I found https:&#x2F

Could you link to your i3wm/regolith window setup code? I'd like to set up something similar!

This reminds me of the K8s keynote where Kelsey Hightower runs Fortran in K8s- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oNa3xK2GFKY . It's a fun watch!

Yes, they SHOULD be adding Fortran, another language that has stood the test of time, to the Linux kernel. Or... Maybe it's good that they add a new (still 10 years old) language with security and DX improvements occasionally. 50 years

What particular type system featured do you miss? I think Elm proved that a restricted type system DOES WORK for large amounts of software. It's been a few years since I've written Elm, so I don't recall specific painful memo

Apple's (much more) slowly going down to the same "profit over users" road. A year or so ago I started slowly migrating from Apple-only apps to cross-platform apps. Fortunately my main hobbies are YouTube and software side pr

You might also like Roc. I don't completely understand how but it does type inference over the whole program - so you can use a loose type that "tightens" when you use it in a different way. Maybe that's a bad explanatio

My SSG (Zola) offers an RSS generation option, so I turned it on. Several months later I realized it was broken for some reason and I hadn't noticed. Nobody emailed me or anything (I'm not a popular blogger), so I just turned the

It's a lot of fun to follow, especially as its so different than my developmental expertise. You can see the current projects (13 active) on https://linebender.org , and several members post interesting checkins in https:&
