Are there any plans to sandbox the agents? I suspect it would be fairly trivial on macOS using sandbox-exec. This looks very useful but I hesitate to run yolo mode agents (even with clear instructions) on my machine.
I have been impressed with Ente products and customer service. It's good to see they are growing. That said, revenue information is not entirely helpful in a vacuum. I'd be more keen on seeing profit (even at a lower timeline resolution). What's the average cost for taking on a new customer? What's the retention/turnover? Etc. That said the products are great and I'd recommend them to anyone.
I really enjoyed and agree with the majority of the article, but this was my nit as well. My hatred of vacation planning is often the reason I don't go on more vacations. It seems like automating a task that is experienced by the individual as completely monotonous ( and only affects that individual) would be a great example of something worth handing off to a text generator.
I read though the GitHub readme but I'm still unsure what "new" this brings this brings to the table. It seems like a thin wrapper over existing tools. Since Microsoft rarely deprecates and removes anything, this feels like just another unnecessary complexity layer.
I'm not a traditional app dev on Windows though, so I'm likely missing something. For those of you who are more familiar, what about this are you excited about?
This is how WinGet works. It has a small SQLite db it downloads from a hosted url. The DB contains some minimal metadata and a url path to access the full metadata. This way WinGet only has to make API calls for packages it's actually interacting with. As a package manager, it has plenty of problems still, but it's a simple, elegant solution for the git as a DB issue.
This is one place jj really shines. Using jj new to quickly switch to a new change makes it easier to not drop flow but still break up work. You can come back later and add descriptions or reorder and squash. That way, you don't get into as many situations where splitting a commit is necessary. For those that remain, jj split works well.
I wish there was a good in between option. I despise the autogenerated playlists for all the reasons mentioned in the article, but I also enjoy the ease of not having to choose what to listen too.
Algorithmically generated playlists from my personal library with the occasional new song thrown in. Maybe, new songs introduced that my social circle is listening to.
That said, I'm recently back to listening to albums exclusively again, which mostly solves this for me. If a friend suggests a song or I hear something on the radio, I pickup the album and listen through. It's a great way to discover new stuff while avoiding the trash. My only real issue is that so many artists I enjoy are in the EP only stage of their career, so for those, custom playlists is the only way.
