Docker Sandboxes is using microVMs, not containerization.

With AI and how a lot of people use it, the quantity of written PRs goes up, but the quality goes down, and the maintainers of the project, who are often volunteers, now have to deal with this in addition to the standard work they've b

Scaling AI use in highly-collaborative environments, which open source projects are, is very challenging. I totally understand the apprehensiveness around it.

On your last point, I think it has a lot to do with how it's introduced in organizations. If everyone just goes hog wild with it, enamored with their newfound productivity, not only will the little gains be lost, I'd argue all the

Joe Schmoe LLC will probably do just fine by sticking to popular clouds. I reckon adopting Oxide Computer would pay off at much larger volumes of traffic, or if you have to do on-prem due to regulatory reasons. It would be nice to know more

Do you maybe know some Rust? I'm also not that experienced with FP languages, but Gleam felt familiar enough, due to some Rust-isms, to allow me to focus more on the concepts rather than the syntax. Granted, I spent a few afternoons wi

More generally, it's known as the sterile insect technique and you'll find plenty of campaigns with some googling.

Microsoft's recent track record with Windows 11 seems to have kickstarted another Win -> Linux migration wave.

`pnpm` also has that and it's on by default since `v11`: https://pnpm.io/settings#minimumreleaseage

I just use `pnpm` and set up a liberal `minimumReleaseAge`: https://pnpm.io/settings#minimumreleaseage Thankfully, it's on by default since v11.

They're probably refering to their strict "No LLM / No AI" policy: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/src/branch/master/README.md... which applies to contributing to the Zig projec

Dunno, people hate the all-touch trend so much (I've never come across someone who likes it), it surprised me it took them so long to reverse course.

I read it as finding a happy medium between analog and digital i.e. people will love the big screen if they still have physical buttons for all the functions they use often while driving. If you force them to fiddle around with touch screen

It's more the hope that he can bring the culture embedded in the hardware division over to software, which hopefully results in better software.

Sure, this is the issue tracking the work: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/30677 The idea is to offer some kind of CLI parsing in the std. It says minimal, but the discussion also veers into some more

I didn't understand him that way. It's more that it helps if people can more easily pick up a foreign language, or solidify their skills, along the way through media. Doubly so when it's a lingua franca like English. Though

Subtitles all the way. Only advantages of dubbing I can see is accessibility for vision impaired and employment opportunities for local VA talent. But dubbed live action media is such a horrid experience for me.

The approach feels like a natural extension of Zig's philosophy about explicitness around low-level operations (no hidden control flow, no hidden memory allocations, etc.). Your function can be blocking? Communicate that through the fu

Obviously, I/O as an interface is the headliner here, but there are lots of other goodies to pay attention to, such as the "juicy main". Small integers auto coercing into floats is a nice gift to game devs. It's nice tha

It's the dark horse of this release as CLI parsing can also be more easily built on top of it. There's a couple of proposals floating around now, so I hope we get something soon-ish (maybe in 0.18 since a short cyle is planned for

It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to migrate from C, building a C project is just so much nicer with Zig than fiddling around with CMake. You got people using it as a build system even for Go projects, especially if they&#

It's a lower-level component in so much stuff we're not even aware of.

My guess is they meant metaprogramming in general (templates/generics, macros), but traits are not quite like the others.

That's a bit harsh, depending on how a person developed or where they worked they may not have had exposure to other facets beyond basic development. Beyond that, it might as well be magic. They'll have to figure out how to provis

A truly lean team (say, <=5 people and limited project scope) should be able to live off their code forge's free CI/CD minutes, or whatever is included in the basic tier they're running. Just run the suite on a schedule ag

I'd say LLB is the "standard", Dockerfile is just one of human-friendly frontends, but you can always make one yourself or use an alternative. For example, Dagger uses BuildKit directly for building its containers instead of

Maybe if you only look at it through the lens of building an app/service, but containers offer so much more than that. By standardizing their delivery through registries and management through runtimes, a lot of operational headaches j
