Installing docker doesn't require root. "Rootless mode lets you run the Docker daemon and containers as a non-root user." https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/ This is how docker is

Since we can't reliably detect AI generated crap, I think it makes sense to penalize their submission. I say this as a generally pro-AI person.

A few decades back, a lot of computer use was emails. And it was stored on someone else's servers - with everyone from server operators along the route, to the government potentially having access to it. Even HTTPS is a relatively rece

Built something like this, but mostly just read-only. Handling writes seemed harder (and a maintenance issue), so we didn't.

There's no way to know if a new maintainer will live up to whatever standards they've kept to date. Archiving should be the default decision, unless there's formal and elaborate handover.

Notion, as any other thin-AI product out there, is now in Anthropic/OpenAI/Google's crosshairs. Unless one has a moat the size of SharePoint or Google Docs or OneDrive, it's just a feature away.

For tsonic ( https://github.com/tsoniclang/tsonic ) which is trying to convert TS to C# and then to native binary via NativeAOT, I took almost the opposite tradeoff from JSIR. JSIR is optimizing for round-trips back to J

It really is, for complex tasks. Claude excels at low-mid complexity (CRUD apps, most business apps). For anything somewhat out of the distribution, codex at the moment has no peer.

Microsoft's biggest mistake was .Net being a Java competitor when it should have just been like golang producing native binaries. Especially since .Net was realistically only going to succeed on x86/64 at that point (late 90s and

They design their own CPUs, and they sold $15b of hardware last year. Tellum ii in the z17 mainframe is a Samsung 5nm part. What I don't get however is who'd use their custom accelerators for AI inference.

C#'s LINQ (code as data, like LISP) wins over golang for any type of data access. Strongly-typed, language-native queries. Go has its own advantages though.

And now with NativeAOT, you can use C# like go - you don't need to ship the CLR.

I was on one till recently, maybe I still am. But does it work for orgs? I put some projects under orgs when they become more than a few projects.

My point is exactly that you need safeguards. (I have VMs per project, reduced command availability etc). But those details are orthogonal to this discussion. However "Telling" has made it better, and generally the model itself h

My point is that one doesn't follow the other. To design good data structures, you need to know how it'll get used (the algorithm). > If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms wil

Where did I say any of that? I'm saying that if you care about performance, data structures should be designed with approach specific tradeoffs in mind. And like I've said above, in typical business apps, it's ok to start wit

by jeswin 7mo ago
I wouldn't give too much credit to rules like this. Data structures are often created with an approach in mind. You can't design a data structure without knowing how you will use it. If anything it's the other way round, if y

True p2p is the only approach that will work, not federation. I'd go futher and make the protocol high-friction for federation. It's true that many p2p attempts have failed, but it's also the only solution that doesn't r
