I imagine you're not from anywhere near former fascism or communism.

What historical evidence do we have to believe that these newfound capabilities are going to be distributed equitably?

I've been using Mouser but it keeps crashing on MacOS 27 beta for me and at 500MB+ of memory use it appears to be approaching the official app's heaviness...

So this appeared at just the right moment for me, thanks!

Who is behind this site? Is this another frontend to Alibaba or a reseller in Singapore?

Less space than a nomad. Lame.

To be fair, I find the term to be as contrived as “performant”

The iPad + keyboard combo is typically as heavy or even heavier than a laptop. It's certainly more expensive and restrictive. I have agree with the author's thesis here

As a Pythonista I tend to agree. I had high hopes for Mojo but it's taking its due time to become usable outside the narrow focus of GPU programming, whereas Nim fits multiple niches surprisingly well.

Really enjoying this so far!

I’ve replaced about 900 lines of raw SQL and got validation and dashboard for free.

The only gotcha I ran into is that Ty didn’t recognize some of the generated types, but that’s also a young project so I’m willing to turn a blind eye.

Really solid, thank you

This wasn't a judgement on systemd but the fact stands that Linux has long abandoned POSIX compatibility, udev being another prominent example.

I'd say this is what ultimately drives monoculture, which is a shame because diversity from glibc (e.g. musl et al.) and other major components could make critical infrastructure more resilient overall

Systemd comes to mind, although it wasn’t as dominant initially

When their questionnaire asked me for feedback I specifically mentioned that I hoped they would not reduce visibility to the point of Github Actions.

I guess that fell on deaf ears.

I happen to use a Mac, even when targeting Linux so I'd have to use a container or VM anyways. It's nice how lightweight bubblewrap would be however.

Consider one wanted to replicate the human-approval workflow that most agent harnesses offer. It's not obvious to me how that could be accomplished by dropping privileges without an escape hatch.
