Also I think over the past few years/decade the tech sector has lost any benefit of the doubt that everything that comes out of it is a "good thing".

The short film someone made is pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6JFTmQCFHg

Yeah, it seems like this is at minimum an "ok" thing. Honestly having a good way to do secrets management with agents seems like a good idea.

I wonder if this stand and if it will lead to more suits against Meta.

I wonder how Zig compares here

Nix + FreeBSD would be interesting

Plus the higher interest rates. As soon as auto loan rates popped, demand started to crater.

For better or for worse they have been very consistent throughout the years that they don't want want to degrade existing performance. It is why the GIL existed for so long

You can run oci containers via podman.

Honestly I think the best path is hybrid with the cloud as DR and sudden load scaling.

How's Asahi treating you? If I upgrade from my m1max, I was going to try it out

New comment by fridder in "MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max"

It will be interesting to see the specs on an m5 ultra. Probably have to wait until WWDC at the earliest to see it though

Elixir works pretty well with the LLMs

It is easy to get started in. Some of the major warts it has, at least the ones that annoy me, revolve around deployment and management. Python packaging has been "fixed" at least 6 times

I hope it solves it, but I've seen that stated before

fridder — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:08:20 +0000

Honestly just look at the dismal history of Python and package management. easy_install, setuptools, pip(x), conda, poetry, uv. Hell I might even be missing one.

Admittedly I have not dove into it much but, I wonder if we might finally have a usecase for NFTs and web3? We need some sort of way to denote items are persion generated not AI. Would certainly be easier than trying to determine if something is AI generated

not sure if you have given FreeBSD a chance yet and it has an in-progress jail/vm frontend: https://github.com/AlchemillaHQ/Sylve
