Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? You want to control it from outside of the sandbox, not to give agent escape hatch from sandbox

You mean late 1990’s? :)

Nats is getting there, but not yet.

Redis is still much more powerful: lists, sorted sets and bazillion of other data structures

New comment by indeyets in "I used to prefer permissive licenses and now favor copyleft"

indeyets — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 08:12:51 +0000

It’s usually a question of “who are your users?”

As long as you consider developers of derived software to be your users — permissive makes most sense.

But if you consider end-users of software it’s definitely copyleft.

So, the browsers have to provide some means for choosing the desired translation engine (add-on API maybe?) and this is a standard API which all of the providers should implement.

right?

Is it the UI for penthouse lib? Settings look very similar :)

New comment by indeyets in "DuckDB is probably the most important geospatial software of the last decade"

> Usually new data is generated regularly

This part was not obvious. In a lot of cases geodata is mostly stable and reads/searches dominate over appends. And that’s why we keep this in DB (usually postgis, yes).

So DuckDB is optimised for very different use case and it is not always obvious when it’s mentioned

But LLMs are not reliable enough, so you can not actually expect “specificity”

New comment by indeyets in "Jujutsu: Different Approach to Versioning"

indeyets — Sun, 20 Apr 2025 08:51:58 +0000

Well, jj is actually very nice in this regard, because:

1. it works on top of git — you keep using all the same infrastructure (GitHub, etc.) 2. in your local repositories you still have access to git-tools, as jj maintains git and its own states in sync.

After all of these months with jj I still find myself using GitUp when I need to review a long chain of commits or do some quick repo-archeology. And, from time to time, I even use Idea's merge tools because their "magic wand" saves a lot of time.

I mentioned this in the first part of series

New comment by indeyets in "Ferron – A fast, memory-safe web server written in Rust"

indeyets — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 07:53:14 +0000

Important part of caddy’s configuration are their defaults. For example TLS and automatic certificates are on by default. It covers the most useful use case by default.

Ferron is different.

Is that a choice or just something you didn’t work on yet?

It’s interesting that my default prompt is exactly the opposite one: “do not write the code unless I ask for it specifically”. I like to use LLMs as a discussion partner, but writing code is trivial after a good discussion and I can do that myself

yes. https://github.com/serde-rs/json

can you write an API-server in Rust? sure. or what do you mean?

New comment by indeyets in "Cursor told me I should learn coding instead of asking it to generate it"

indeyets — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 09:58:49 +0000

Because learning improves your internal LLM which allows you to creatively solve tasks without using external ones. Additionally it is possible to fine tune your internal LLM for the tasks useful for your specific interests, the fun stuff. And external llms are too generalised

indeyets — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 13:41:50 +0000

It’s usually the difference between having a low-level api and high-level api. iOS gives a lot “for free”.

Creating stuff from scratch is not a fun experience
