I don't know who you are responding to. I haven't made any statements about what AI can do for them. I would expect AI is making the situation worse, like it is in many dysfunctional tech organizations.

Compilers produce the same binary each time they are run on the same code in a given environment. Writing anything in response to anything tweeted by Elon is as useless as Elon Musk himself.

None of the things you mention - indexing or secret scan would be done individually for each commit. As I already said, this would be a log of all commits in the range pushed - it would be scanned once for those things. There is no need for

Tell me about the time that an app at Meta grew at 10% a year for a decade and then began doubling every few months.

by jeremyjh 2mo ago
No one said it is unique. But if you take an infrastructure and engineering org that had been growing at 10% a year for a decade, you are going to have a different set of capabilities and practices in place. Adapting to a new reality of dou

The absolute number doesn’t matter nearly as much as the change in rate of growth. The number of commits had not been doubling every six months at GitHub for a long time. At Amazon if traffic volume consistently doubled every six months tha

> There’s a difference between pushing 1 commit and 100. There isn’t much. GitHub doesn’t run actions separately for each commit. It runs them on pushes. I’m trying to think of a thing that would happen for each commit in each push and c

The problem is when all we get is the output, we don't know if their context is even valid. If they don't demonstrate any human understanding of their message content, we can't really take that on faith. Especially once we&#x

There is a thread linked where we literally see gophers express the belief that they do not like syntax highlighting, and mock those who do - because Great Leader - born in 1956 - does not like syntax highlighting. Its called double think.

Yes but that is just one use case. Columnar OLAP engines operating on object storage can do all kinds of stuff so much better than Postgres that it may as well be a completely different capability. That said - the point is that you can get

As a big fan of Postgres, Databricks and Lakebase: Lakebase is not Postgres, and this is just CDC.

What is childish is holding up one guy's editor preferences as a religious sacrament when 99.9% of your readers have different preferences.

> And even when those were sorted out, the introduction of InnoDB made people realise that MySQL's apparent speed advantage was really just down to MyISAM lacking referential integrity and transactions. Yes we saw the same thing pl

by jeremyjh 2mo ago
I would agree with that, although I personally found it preferable in 2001-2002, since it matched the feature set of SQL Server in all the important ways that MySQL didn't. I think it may have been late 2000s before it was clearly pref

by jeremyjh 2mo ago
MySQL was always behind in terms of features. In early 2000s it had very limited constraints. Most people were running in ISAM backend and did not even have transaction support. It was being used by people who did not understand how advance

Thank you for pointing to this. Instead of trying to constantly explain it to people, I'm going to link to that.

I don't see anything special here. Haskell has had stuff like this for more than a decade, Selda is probably the one closest to Acadia: https://valderman.github.io/selda/ Despite their claims, this is not substant

I stopped using superpowers because it wanted to turn every tiny bug fix into a $37MM DOD project. I got effective results but it took ages. I may try again - I need to find a good way to run different profiles in my harness so I can easily

Right, and I’m not going to spend the time trying to gauge the information quality when I already know the person who sent it didn’t think it was important enough to edit - or isn’t capable of it.

No, that’s not it. Its easy as competent engineers for us to forget how terrible most people are at prompting AI, or reviewing and correcting AI output. Raw output from typical prompts is garbage. If I start reading something that no one ev

Agreed. Just moved some of my projects to codefloe.com (Forgejo) this weekend. FYI - it provides a lot more than a link to git.

If it’s on the project to determine their requirements, why are you doing it?
146.
by jeremyjh 2mo ago
Yes but on Earth every project needs a canonical main branch. Most also need a way to manage and review changes to that branch that all project members have direct access to.

It’s entirely possible that Iron Mountain will be happy to turnover the data but needs a court judgement to do so without incurring more legal exposure. The article says the system belongs to OSS. If this is something like a colo arrangemen

It’s a big difference but Luna is very usable. I’ve plugged it into the slot I used to have GLM 5.2 in; I think it’s just as good. And it is less costly. I have Sol do planning and design but do most task execution with Luna now.

In practice it is centralized: you can host your own PDS and knot but if tangled.org decides you don’t align with their values then they stop indexing you and no one will see your work in the only place tangled users look. ATproto has some
