Frankly, this comment does little to avail the parent's point - doing this on the open road was both illegal and reckless. It reflects extremely poorly on your character and the project as a whole.

Once the bureaucracy is automated, there will be no "reasonable" choice.

100%. MSDN is the definition of saying nothing with as many words as possible. I guess if you wanted a case for why LLMs are helpful, MSDN is a good one haha

It is important to note that this is a deal struck for just some ethnic groups of the citizenry. It does not apply fairly across the board to all people under Chinese governments' control so it's not even as good as it sounds for the average Chinese citizen.

I use this all day everyday. Love this, changed how it feels to work with GUIs for me.

I would also be very interested in reading that blog post!

As often the case with Dan's letters, a well balanced take on many issues. I particularly appreciated the thoughts on AI and (what I read) the undertone of infrastructure being the real differentiator between the US effort and China. We'll see how it plays out this year. "May you live in exciting times" etc.

New comment by url00 in "Please just try HTMX"

url00 — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 19:12:57 +0000

This matches my experience. State management is the key thing - you end up needing to put way more on the backend then you'd otherwise like to. Quick example: something like a multi-step "wizard" is far more difficult to express in HTMX than with any SPA-ish pattern.

Wow you aren't wrong, the first blog post on Google talking about this is exactly what this complicated method does just built-in.

url00 — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 19:15:35 +0000

I don't want a more conversational GPT. I want the _exact_ opposite. I want a tool with the upper limit of "conversation" being something like LCARS from Star Trek. This is quite disappointing as a current ChatGPT subscriber.

There are two of us! I also espouse the virtues of TortiseGit any time I am able! I do take a bit of guff at work, but one feature of TG I've never seen equalled is how it handles what I call "drill-down git blame adventures". TG'a blame lets you easily keep going down through a files commit history in a way that is both intuitive and useful. My only issue with TG is that it is so Windows-focus and as I'm working more and more in Linux I will tragically need to leave it behind ;_;

Exactly. I picture a dystopia where the car refuses to attempt escape from a storm because of the liability factor.

Yes minister! Great show that no one in the US has heard of which is a shame.

As someone who was subbed to Nebula, this matches my experience. Especially the lack of comments, spending time on Nebula just felt cold and isolating, even if the content was good.

New comment by url00 in "Helm local code execution via a malicious chart"

url00 — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 15:13:19 +0000

When you do a helm pull and download a chart from a repo, I believe it's a tar-ball. So if you have a workflow where you install charts from the filesystem you could be impacted. I've done that in the past.

New comment by url00 in "Why I wrote the BEAM book"

url00 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:11:22 +0000

The reality is modern Kubernetes infrastructure looks a lot like BEAM, at least in the capabilities it offers. That's the far more common way of deploying highly scalable, self-healing systems in the current year. Plus, with k8s you're not constricted to a single language (there are a few more than Erlang/Elixir, but nothing popular) with limited developer resources and interest.

On the off chance there was any doubt still... Alas, seeing a bubble provides almost no good information except that you know something bad will happen sometime.

I still have it as my main coding music. Along with Wii Shop/lo-fi Nintendo. Still bops.

Can you expand a bit on the kinds of things you are doing in operators and controllers? I've been wary to put to much in the cluster... but maybe I should be doing more.
