What we do with appmap.io is to depict only your own code and not dependencies. Also, each diagram depicts a runtime trace and not just static imports. It produces a more focused diagram, and it also clearly illuminates factors like HTTP cl

Pilot in command can deviate from regulations to the degree necessary to address the emergency. It’s very well established, drilled into every pilot and there truly won’t be any trouble for invoking this.

Hi, thanks. Yes, you can record AppMaps from within a dockerized app. For Django you’d add a dependency on the appmap package, then as the app runs it will generate an AppMap of each request. You can also record test cases. It’s designed to

Thanks for the advice! I agree with your characterization as somewhere between “instant” and “too late” (eg in prod) feedback. We are focusing on the code editor and GitHub Actions at the moment. For example, figuring out out what happens a

I agree - “fixes” are a cool opportunity. I’ve created a runtime analysis of code execution that spots certain types of flaws and anti-patterns (that static analyzers cant find). Then I’m using a combination of the execution trace, code, an

Some people don't like knee boards because you have to move your head up-down-up-down to use it, and that can be disorienting, especially in poor visibility conditions (when external visual references are minimal). There are other type

What was interesting about cryptocurrency was the idea of holding your own private keys and conducting transactions directly on the blockchain. In that scenario, everyone is their own “exchange” (kinda) and the SEC might let it roll. Crypto

If you use process recording you should be able to get maps of all your code in that project - it just won’t have any special framework or database markup - https://appmap.io/docs/reference/appmap-java.html#process

As a VSCode extension creator - thank you! People may not realize how hard it is to make a great app if you have no idea what your users are doing with it. On web apps there is all kinds of tracking and it’s heavily used to make the apps be

That was not Grady Booch’s doing. His vision was not for UML to become a full blown programming environment. It was meant to be a disposable thinking tool for developers, which is more how people are using it now. See for example, https:&#

Founder of AppMap here. We are a seed stage company so we’re building out as resources allow! Would love to get to Eclipse at some point. You can also do all the AppMap things using the command line - make AppMaps, open them in your browser

It may or may not be false but I don’t see the relevance of citing stats about the purchase of brand new airplanes. As I’m sure you know, most airplanes sold are used, because most people can’t afford a brand new 4 place certificated airpla

Hi, I’m creator of a tool called AppMap that will record traces of your code (test cases or live interaction). Once you’ve made AppMaps there are different tools you use on top of it, such as visualization and analysis, and extensions for V

That’s right except in this case, Russia is the house and the open source author is you. They are taking their ball and going home.

This seems like another example of people taking open source for granted. Software takes time and effort to create, and in return for that effort the author receives ownership and copyright. The author of an open source project can do whate

The expansion of space itself is not subject to the same constraints as travel through space. Put another way: Nothing can travel through space faster than light. But the expansion of space itself isn’t a form of travel, and so it’s not sub
