For development you usually don’t need a kernel policy language - you mostly want: 1. builds not trashing your real $HOME 2. no dotfiles/config pollution 3. some basic separation if a project does something dumb

A much simpler (and more reliable) alternative on macOS is just a dedicated throwaway user account. macOS already isolates home directories, keychains, and app state per-user, so you get a practical sandbox without fighting SBPL quirks or mysterious denials.

My workflow now: I have a user called rsh. I clone and build everything there. My real home directory stays clean. If a project goes crazy, it only damages /Users/rsh

It also avoids the “1000 hidden files in your home folder” problem that a lot of language ecosystems cause.

Minimal setup :

sudo sysadminctl -addUser rsh -password $(LC_ALL=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 Then add this alias to your ~/.zshrc command:

alias rsh='sudo -iu rsh /bin/zsh -l'

After that I just run rsh, clone repos into ~/projects, and build there.

It's great they are working on standardizing this so websites don't have to integrate with LLMs. The real opportunity seems to be able to automatically generate the tool calls / MCP schema by inspecting the website offline - I automated this using PLayright MCP.

I built a small tool called faaadmv. It is a REPL that helps check and renew California DMV registration. It runs Playwright in headed mode so I can watch the automation and solve any CAPTCHA if needed.

I made this because the CA DMV site feels user hostile. Every year I keep missing my deadline, then I pay hundreds of dollars in fines. I wanted something that is fast, visible, and less frustrating.

Main features: - REPL menu, simple keys - Watch mode on by default - Multi vehicle support - Status check and renewal dry run - Local encrypted config and keychain for payment - Screenshots and debug logs stored locally

I cannot test the real renewal process right now because my cars were renewed recently. I am looking for someone to help test and debug the renewal flow.

I would love feedback on UX and reliability. If you try it and it breaks, please share what happened.

In that sense, it makes little sense to approve large amounts of office space without considering the housing capacity needed to support it. If the jobs-to-housing ratio grows too high, the costs are pushed onto workers and surrounding areas rather than being addressed directly.

This problem is compounded by limited public transit and inadequate road infrastructure. Framing the issue solely as NIMBY opposition misses the structural imbalance at the core of the problem.

Instead of treating symptoms or assigning blame, governments should focus on correcting the underlying mismatch between employment growth and housing supply.
