It's not just for security, it's also for maintainability. Frankly being able to reflect across package boundaries has always seemed like a misfeature for maintainability to me. The code you have that is broken by Java 9 was alrea

Ah, it was written in Groovy last time I looked at it I believe. In any case here’s how to install a default java: `mise ls-remote java` to show all vendors and versions, or just `mise latest java@temurin` (or any other vendor) to get the l

pro tip: don't bother with SDKMAN. use https://mise.jdx.dev to install Java, it can also install a bunch of other languages and tools. it's most likely the last tool version manager you'll ever need.

I’m aware of the context, but as someone who frequently uses LLMs productively I find bans on all usage to be misguided. If in practice the rule is “if we can tell it’s AI generated, we’ll ban you” then why not just say that? Moreover, in t

chezmoi is a great tool, and I admire this project taking a strong stand. However I can’t help but feel that policies like this are essentially unenforceable as stated: there’s no way to prove an LLM wasn’t used to generate code. In many

Having started with Mise, and now being primarily a Nix user — Mise still has the edge for what it does. It supports pinning exact versions of many more languages than devenv does. When devenv doesn't support pinning the version you ne

Swift is mostly runtime-enforced now but there are a lot of cultural affinities (for lack of a better term) between Swift and Rust and there’s a proposal to add ownership https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/blob&#x2

It's possible to simplify all of this significantly in the settings if you know what you're doing, but I also think a lot of older people would benefit from just not having a smartphone to deal with in the first place.

The Avelias are nice but the problem with the Acela hasn't been the rolling stock in a long time, it's that it can only reach top speed (~150mph) on a tiny portion of the track, mostly between Boston and Providence and some more i

I believe Pyrefly is stricter, so it may be a better choice for new projects but harder to integrate into existing ones without type-checking.

Sure but that’s a bit silly. Switzerland’s GDP is something like 50x that of Afghanistan. UK GDP in 2025 is much higher than in 2003, too. Of course not 5000%

Having a vuln that many other terminal emulators have had is pretty different from the string of unique and extremely bad vulns that iTerm has had over the years. It’s possible that we’ll see similar from Ghostty, but it’s a much newer and
