This is very cool, thanks for sharing it. I'll try to add some entries about Vancouver when I have time.

Perhaps you've missed that Trump and several administration officials keep referring to Canada as the 51st state, stating in no uncertain terms that their goal is to annex Canada. Canadians have definitely not missed that. https:&#x2F

This looks very good, thanks for sharing! I maintain a similar project and working with the systemd/dbus APIs has been pretty painful; eager to try this and see what I can learn from it. https://github.com/rgwood/s

(disclaimer: Datadog employee) I haven't kept super close tabs on it but last year we were hiring for a role to do tech lead stuff and OSS community building for Vector, and yes several of the original Vector employees still work here.

This looks quite nice overall and the demo is slick. It looks like backend APIs need to be written in JS and and then deployed as separate files. Not quite what I want, but I can appreciate why they went that route. It'd be neat to hav

I also found it kind of hard to understand what it's for from the docs. Logging into the demo UI (linked on the GitHub README) helped a lot.

1. Tailwind is just 1 part of a build system, and it all adds up 2. Watch Inventing on Principle if you haven't already. Pushing build times into milliseconds or sub-milliseconds enables new capabilities

I absolutely care about things that take hundreds of milliseconds for my builds. The faster I can build, the faster I can iteratively try new things things out. The goal should be to be able to see changes instantly after you make them, and

I've written a bit about how I use Aider: https://www.reillywood.com/blog/how-i-use-llms-sep-2024/ It's not magic, but it is very useful. I find that it works best if you have a commit-sized piece of w

Which LLM were you using? I’ve had a great experience with Aider and Claude Sonnet 3.5 (which is not coincidentally at the top of the Aider leaderboard).

I think it depends on what you want to do. Nushell's never going to surpass PowerShell for Windows infrastructure automation. But if you want a shell that makes it easy+quick to work with data in all kinds of formats, Nushell wins IMO.

Opening another terminal is one thing this new sudo can do. It's also possible to configure it to run the sudo'd command inline in the current window (mentioned in the linked blog post); there are security tradeoffs to consider.

IIRC there are no builds because forcing people to compile it themselves ensures that users (and people who file issues) have a certain amount of technical competency. Keeps life easier for maintainers, but will probably change if/when

The "Do you need a Dedicated Vector Database?" slide is quite interesting, but doesn't really answer its own question! This is something I've been wondering myself, if anyone has any guidelines or rules of thumb I would

FWIW, Simon Willison's `llm` tool just uses SQLite plus a few UDFs. The simplicity of that approach is appealing to me but I don't have a good sense of when+why it becomes insufficient.

Correct. Lets you skip the "connect a keyboard/mouse/monitor" thing though.

Have you tried recent versions of the Raspberry Pi Imager utility? It lets you build pre-configured Raspbian images, similar to what you're describing.

Thanks for sharing; Enron's downfall is fascinating to me (honestly not sure why) and I appreciated this perspective on it.

I don't think MSIX is a good choice for most apps. With a decent-sized user base, you will have a lot of people who run into undiagnosable errors with MSIX or can't use it because they're in locked-down enterprise environment
