Taking notes and comparing this against my own (non coding agent) Rust TUI project, thank you! I'm new to Rust so this is a helpful baseline.

The codebase was small enough that I handed it over to DeepSeek v4 Flash in Pi to skim through for any risky business, and I didn't find anything concerning. Nice work.

Haskell would be my vote, and Rust too, actually, both because of their very strong type systems. The type system lets you very quickly figure out what something is before you figure out what something does , and it turns out that separa

On my list to pore over, and I will return once I have grokked it :) It was a little too much for my tired brain last night.

Apparently the structure itself has a bit of a history. The word 'rediscovery' tipped me off to go to Wikipedia myself and read up more about this. First Blumer et al., 1983 came up with a "DAWG", but reading the abstrac

This is some of the best news I've heard recently when it comes to figuring out how to produce high quality Software Bills of Materials for the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act, for what it's worth. Reproducible packages are actua

See it how you wish; but shell script execution was part of Jenkins from day 1, to my knowledge, over 20 years ago now. It's a 'workaround' the same way walking upstairs is a workaround for an escalator, imo.

You can always just split the difference and call your shell script with sh "./whatever.sh"` if you want in a modern Jenkinsfile. It's really not that big of a deal to avoid Groovy if you truly cannot stand it.

There is a parallel universe where the convention is that 0 is used for when something went wrong, and 1-127 are reserved for all the myriad and beautiful ways in which things went right.

Obligatory https://m.xkcd.com/1053/ reference, but you're taking this in good stride and that's excellent. :) If you want to go further down this direction there are all kinds of cool things you can do. There

What counts as a keyword here? If you're hiring for a frontend developer and you see e.g. "Redux" do you just can it?

For the confused: this link must have gotten revived or something, I posted this comment a few days ago. Looks like it's getting the accolades I claim it deserves now.

I think you'd appreciate some of the more philosophical thoughts behind folks like Robin Hanson or gwern, then. Or even father down that road, books like The Enigma of Reason . The idea that previous business success only weakly predi

I could see that making sense. For what it's worth, I still believe in the American dream even though I moved overseas five years ago, more than ever in fact. Many Europeans call me the most American guy they've ever met, which I

I like how the graphs suggest that prior to 2020 a certain "holy trinity" for happiness existed of being married, graduating college, and voting Republican. This passes the sniff test even though I am only 2 for 3, I was not havin

It's going to be stochastic in some sense whether you want it to be or not, human error never reaches zero percent. I would bet you a penny you'd get better results doing one two-second automated pass + your usual PII redaction th

I'm surprised nobody else has commented on this. This is a very straightforward and useful thing for a small locally runnable model to do.

I think the operating word here is not "mattress" but "kitchen". How cramped do things have to be to need to put the guest mattress in the kitchen ?
