Shouldn't feature flags be independent of telemetry on/off? I would be real surprised if folks who have telemetry disabled would be upset if "required-for-software-to-function-normally" functionality like feature flagging itself was gated behind telemetry disablement.

I've always struggled a bit with the fact that "machines want SoA but readability/clarity/etc is easier with AoS". And wonder if it would be possible for a language to have the code representation be AoS but the implementation transparently be SoA.

I've basically abandoned GA's caching for most things because measurements ended up showing things were slower with caching than without :woozy:

One thing that I learned when doing raw API LLM usage is how drastically the results can vary call per call with exactly the same input. I think that on average, people using agents underestimate the variation in results from a given turn command are, and so overindex on "X technique worked well" or "if I do Y then this will happen" or even "it did Z task well last time so it will this time too" or "{Model} is great at {thing}"

When do we get mssql_durable :)

if it helps, I've found that using context (Claude.md etc) is way less effective for this type of pattern compared to using PreToolHook to capture "bad patterns" and either transparently rewriting them to "do the right thing" if that is possible statically, or if not then rejecting the tool use with a message that tells the agent "how" to use the intended tooling itself.

You should totally submit that to HN as an article, if you haven't already.

really nice, thanks

They’re bound to http Referrer iirc

Thank you!!! :)

There was a really great article or blog post published in the last few months about the author's very personal experience whose gist was "People complain that I sound/write like an LLM, but it's actually the inverse because I grew up in X where people are taught formal English to sound educated/western, and those areas are now heavily used for LLM training."

I wish I could find it again, if someone else knows the link please post it!

Umm one of the authors, Andy Gocke, is the lead for the .NET runtime... https://github.com/agocke

In case you’re interested in a potential successor: https://github.com/dotnet/designs/pull/147

I think that the messaging around this is going to be pretty important in heading off gut-reaction "it's all or nothing locked in to their world" first takes. It's probably attractive marketing for things to be aimed at "look how easy it easy to use our entire ecosystem", but there's a risk to that too.

Thanks for sharing that AWS doc

An interesting thought experiment would be a language/toolchain that would be permissive when generating debug builds, but hard-required warn-free to generate an optimized executable.

TIL thanks!

Check out F# "units of measure" ;)

hahaha :D

maybe it's worth adding that info to the blog post :)

thanks Jared and team, keep up the great work.

it is documented as recommended here fwiw: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actio...

but this comment is gold :D

> Sounds like deleting a VM in Azure is as tedious as trying to manage resources in a complex role-playing game—one wrong step, and you’re stuck dealing with frustrating dependencies! If you’re tired of that kind of hassle, maybe it’s time to switch things up with Download SpinRP. Instead of deleting VMs in the right order, you can dive into an immersive world where strategy and excitement go hand in hand. Why deal with a “big fat pink error” when you could be making big moves in SpinRP instead?

you could call it a "Registry"... ;)

I've worked on maintaining internal dev tooling for some small companies for a while now, and it's a real PITA to write a robust installation script for bootstrapping a new laptop running an arbitrary shell on linux or macOS into a working environment. Way more work than it feels like it should be.

At this point I've pretty much given in and decided that a containerized dev environment is probably the better solution, but on principle it feels so unsatisfying to have to resort to this :(

(I know someone is going to mention Nix/Guix ;) but that feels like a giant rabbit hole)

I worked at Seagate in the early 2010s, and they made pretty intensive use of Lotus Notes across the company—-it was pretty dang cool to see how sophisticated/useful the internal applications were that non-“developers” created!

What if you have a microservice system with a repo-per-service setup, where to add functionality to a FE site you would have to edit code in three or four specific repos (FE site repo + backend service repo + API-client npm package repo + API gateway repo) out of hundreds of total repos?

how about just having rustup bundle zig as part of its tooling… It would make getting Rust going on Windows ten times easier, among a bunch of other benefits.

I have ADHD as well, and Due has been an absolute lifesaver and core of my life management for years now.
