It's always exciting to see my state come up in a quirky but warm story like this!

Yup, for the most part you define your own controls! Even type 2 is pretty hard to "fail" if you're serious about security. You're more likely to just get minor exceptions in the report for being sloppy about something.

In my experience this is actually a great thing. Let AI hack away at the agile metrics that it can. Maybe those are the right metrics for AI, and engineers should be focused on building reliable infrastructure and abstractions for that AI.

The description of MUMPS always misses what working with it directly is actually like (at least for me). It feels more like a custom OS than a programming language. Code being stored alongside data so changes apply live in the system, writi

Given that Apple has really smart people, I assume this design was the right answer to whatever actual problem they were set. My guess - someone noticed a small cohort of potential new users that want this; and the company prioritized the m

As one of the developers on this project, I'm most excited about the declarative LLM interface it offers as an alternative to chat. Chat is powerful, but (with today's models) I find it to be too open ended for most non-developers

While I generally agree that it sounds dubious, this argument depends on whether the entropy of the liquid in the pore is lower than the entropy of the vapor in the air in the pore. I could see a highly hydrophilic capillary restricting a v

A lot of this valuation must be aqui-hire and existing users, right? 6 months of development lead time can't be worth this much... can it?

I think there's some selection bias. In my experience many folks that work on open source projects tend to lean more altruistic and good natured - so understanding the license doesn't mean expecting exploitation.

How does keeping the branding in place reduce misleading customers? Won't it look even more like Open WebUI supports the forked product?

Cool idea. I was curious how this point works. I assume it would only include public code? Or are you proxying private projects through your MCP? ``` Walk through core technologies in your stack, explore my project work via the GitHub MCP s

In the past I've worked at startups that hired way too many bright junior developers and at companies that insisted on only hiring senior developers. The arguments for/against AI coding assistants feel very reminiscent of the argu

When I looked SFO, DEN, LAS, and EWR were all delayed due to weather. Do busier airports end up on this list more for some reason, or is it just really bad luck today?

This is great! I did a similar project a while back to do image processing in a SQL database with pixels being individual records. It's amazing what SQL can do with the right table structures.

I would say Judy is far too pragmatic to fall into the bucket of late 90's silicon valley startups. For example, people talk a lot about MUMPS being so quirky for the Epic operational database, but few people mention that Epic is a hea

I've long since moved into startups, but Epic was a great place to learn process and the less technical aspects of enterprise software development. The tech has modernized a lot in recent years, but still isn't transferable quite

There is a theory that specific shades of colors are difficult to recognize or differentiate unless you name them. I wonder how unique these 100% saturated colors would look without context compared to other colors.

Is this the logical conclusion of the marginal user effect? If your business model depends on growth, you need to keep changing the product to attract new users even at the cost of quality to old ones that are unlikely to leave.

Something like Dash or Streamlit might be useful to manage an App like this.

I used this to bootstrap a small community page with a handful of admin users that entered content. The users were technical enough to be comfortable with the interface, but wouldn't have been able to use SQL directly. It saved buildin

I personally try to nudge even my junior team members towards this. I would never admonish them for taking this type of initiative working with me. I WOULD however have some difficult conversations if they thought this meant they could cut

Looking at the GitHub project, this looks to be a passion project more than a community driven one. It's great to see a project like that getting some eyes and potentially attracting contributors. If anything, the main website is a lit

Cat food dispensers are an interesting product where this trend hasn't quite landed - it's still easy to get a new model without WiFi for roughly the same price. I wonder if the possibility of your pet not getting fed is a line co

I've found the main advantage to this over a more specialized graph database is integration and maintenance alongside the rest of your application. Real world data is rarely just (or even mostly) graph data.

I've pretty much always kept my phone on silent. I don't mind notifications while I'm on my phone anyways, but if I do manage not to check on it for a while I see that as a good thing.

On the surface it's pretty obvious that classroom learning doesn't immediately translate to real world experience, but the paper's finding seems to be more about the extreme degree of discrepancy between the two cohorts. It a
