What surprises me is just how much they've missed the mark. I'm not an extreme user of Cursor. It has become an essential part of my workflow, but I also probably on the lower/medium section of users. I know that a lot of my

It looks cool, and I agree with the creators that something like this ought to exist and optimally free from monetization incentives. From a user standpoint it does seem like quite the undertaking to introduce it though. Most of the needs I

Both SQL and Linq-style queries end up in the same in-memory representation once they hit the query engine/query planner. Filter pushdown ("correct application of where, and hope it puts the where before the join") is table s

Okay, yeah that's what I assumed. That seems a bit like a game of whack-a-mole where as long as the forging side is willing to go further and further into out-of-hardware emulation (e.g. prosthetic finger on a robot hand to trick finge

The example you bring up is for a single one-off extension. Yeah, for that case it doesn't make a lot of sense. However, for initial setup of the system (e.g. filling up multiple drawers with baseplates and basic bins, as you will see

I'm not criticizing BetterAuth here, but the idea that rolling your own auth is easy. BetterAuth is likely an improvement against the status quo for many companies if they have already decided to roll their own auth, as it at least alr

Yeah, one would think so. Evidence in the wild shows otherwise.

What? No! There are plethora of mistakes one can make in implementing AuthN/AuthZ, and many of them almost immediately will lead to either the direct leak of PII or can form the start of a chain of exploits. Storing password hashes in

Hmm, maybe. Though, IIRC rye and uv were more parallel developments rather than uv's lineage tracing back to rye. Also at the point mitsuhiko created rye, he had handed off maintenance of Flask for ~8 years already and was arguably mor

I do think that at least on the conceptual level there is some more merit to it. People often through around remarks like "just like Black Mirror", so I think it's interesting to dive into it a bit more, and decypher whether

Whether it's a non-problem or not very much depends on how much the LLM API providers actually bother to add enforcement server-side. Anecdotally, I've seen Azure OpenAI services hallucinate tools just last week, when I provided a

The main alternative one would have for having a plug-and-play (just configure a single URL) non-MCP REST API would be to use OpenAPI definitions and ingesting them accordingly. However, as someone that has tried to use OpenAPI for that in

It might as well. If there is no definition of an ABI, nobody is going to build the tooling and infrastructure to detect ABI compatibility between releases and leverage that for the off-chance that e.g. 2 out of 10 successive Rust releases

I think that's why they specified the "BTRFS snapshots" part. Yes, directly syncing a .git directory seems like a recipe for disaster with how often I've seen individual files lagging to sync, but I guess with BTRFS snap

I'm struggling to understand how the numbers make sense. The One Army patreon alone shows 1600 paid members, with the minimum paid tier being $7/month. With ~10% fee for Patreon, this should come out to: 1600 * 7 * 0.9 = $10080&#x
