Sounds like a caveman skill.

Who is doing it as first class feature with at least adequate UX?

I have skimmed alternatives offered in comments to this post (vibepod-cli, code-on-incus, opencode-docker, sandboxy, smolvm, amazing-sandbox) and none of them seem to do credentials injection at the proxy level.

Most interesting part to me is credentials injection at the sandbox boundary level: https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/security/credentials

Prior to `jj` my happiest git discovery was https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo to replace submodules.

You might find `jj` to help you there: all changesets have stable identifier and their content can be updated at any moment in-place.

TLDR; `jj edit ; $EDITOR` will update a commit in the middle of the branch

X3D cache doesn't take die space in traditional sense: it is a separate silicon packaged by stacking.

New comment by nopurpose in "We found a bug in the hyper HTTP library"

nopurpose — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:14:14 +0000

Nice writeup, but I don't understand how `curl` didn't trigger bug for them (or any other hyper HTTP server out there), given the explanation in the article.

`curl --http1.1` sends `Connection: Close` so sender (hyper) must attempt to shutdown connection after sending whole body. Surely any network is slower than memory copy into socket kernel buffers, so it must reliably trigger condition "buffer flush can't be done in one go" and thus trigger early TCP shutdown.

Is there an explanation rooted in physics why derivative of kinetic energy equals momentum?

Is it adhoc or you use more structured approaches like openspec? I also tend to work on a plan first, but it stays as in-session todo, which is hard to reference later.

> even the people making these tools don’t really know where it’s going to land

exactly my point to compare it with pre-iPhone mobile market: wide (and growing fast!) adoption, clear potential (WAP websites, J2ME games), many players in the game, some real market fit discovered already (Blackberry), influx of capitial and tinkerers alike, but still a lot of unknowns where it will ultimately land.

Even if no single improvement was revolutionary (even first iPhone was just a fancy phone without App Store), overall mobile made billion dollar industries possible, for better or worse, and changed the way we live. Counts as industrial revolution, comparable to the Internet itself in my eyes.
