Which goes to show, experience and maturity changes how people use tools. The person I was responding to was at an earlier maturity stage and realized it was hampering their growth I am more of a TUI person anyways. I have never found web b

Part of the technical assessment I have for hiring new platform engineers involves troubleshooting a service hosted in a headless Linux vm. Troubleshooting and fluency on the command line are among what I consider core skills. Being able to

Meanwhile, in BEAM land, this is a solved problem, and just watching different languages converge into towards the set of primitives and constraints. It is hard to replicate BEAM’s premptive scheduler, but I would not be surprised if someon

The point is that in an AST based storage, the AST itself is the source of truth. Therefore, there is no canonical format.

I don’t have my LLMs generate literate programming. I do ask it to talk about tradeoffs. I have full examples of something that is heavily commented and explained, including links to any schemas or docs. I have gotten good results when I as

I remember someone mentioning a system that operated with ASTs like this in the 70s or 80s. One of the affordances is that the source base did not require a linter. Everyone reading the code can have it formatted the way they like, and it w

I don’t get it. Why not just use a terminal and a shell, like Ghostty?

I got my facts confused. I was thinking of Scratch, with Scratch 3 being in Javascript. I don’t know why I was thinking Python.

I learned to use ed as a kid. I was highly motivated — this was the in-game editor for MudOS/Nightmare. I am just as likely to get the kids on Pharo or Squeak (the old school stuff, not the newer Python based Squeak)

I read other people’s code all the time. I work as a platform engineer with sre functions. Gemini 3 by itself is insufficient. I often find myself tracing through things or testing during runtime to understand how things behave. Claude Opus

What about: - servers living in datacenters - realtime operating systems in embedded devices - the Intel Management Engine - the OS on every smart chip in credit cards and debit cards - wireless cameras, roombas, smart TVs, smart fridges -

Auth0 and Okta serves two different market segments. You’d use Autho0 for your customers and Okta for your employees.

I also think the presence of Sergey Brin has been making a difference in this.

I disagree. AI works as a better tool for teaching humans than to do the work themselves. While someone experienced in fighting fires can take intuitive leaps, the basic idea is still to synthesize a hypothesis from signals, validating the

Resume building, for one. Discoverability, for another. Redmonk covered how much of a game changer Github was back in the early days. I am personally excited about radicle — a local-first, distributed forge.

While there is indeed a Ruby on Rails tax, Github is also written in Rails as well ( https://github.blog/engineering/architecture-optimization/bu... ) So is Shopify and Stripe. They can scale. These days, if I want

UKLG deliberately wrote Earthsea in the guise of a Western high fantasy, but its philosophical core is the Tao Te Ching. It was set in the archipelagos similar to SW Asia, with similar ethnicity. The producers who made the movie casted the

Sounds similar to some of the historic criticisms neo-Confucian had about Taoism. Are you familiar with the Western non-dual traditions?

More generalized, any kind of symbol representing something is not the something. The social labelling is very accessible, true now and true then. There’s a Zen koan about that (with Zen coming from Chang which came from a meeting of Buddhi

I have a hard copy of that book. She’s captured the poetry and beauty of the received text very well. (I’ve tried my own hand at a translation and read a few other translations).

If the internet is down and you want to onboard someone with say, a usb thumbdrive. With the mirroring: does radicle have any kind of event hooks?

by hosh 9mo ago
Not the original OP — I had been thinking about this for years, though my interest is in resiliency rather than a sovereignty (though they overlap): - is there a mirror adapter to push to a non-radicle node, such as Github or say, sourcehut

I got a chance to talk to one of the recruiters at my company, informally. One takeaway is that it really depends on the type of work. Even now, there are work where a recruiter has to source - personally go out to seek specific candidates.

I remember trying to use Nightmare and MudOS as a base. It’s where I really cut my teeth with the in-game ed line editor. Good times.

Ruby does have language features for composition, and “composition over inheritance” has popped up in the community. I have also looked into the use of traits in Smalltalk.

It isn’t in the content of the story, but in the craft of storywriting itself. The author does not have to know these to make use of the methods identified by NLP. Rhetoric (as a study in and of itself) and persuasion has long been studied

I am familiar with NLP and persuasion techniques, and when I started feeling it creep in as I read this story, I started skimming. I have learned that a compelling vision alone does not mean it is correct or even wise. The analogy is not co
