I welcome this "scriptability" improvement. I often have to do some bulk updates across a few dozen files and while I can whip up python or sed - I'd rest assured there's a more stable interface. but more importantly it opens doors to integrations with applescript and claude and whatnot
Tool calls with middleware. If you deploy an agent into a production system - you design it to use a set of curated whitelisted of bespoke tool calls against services in your stack.
Also, You should never connect an agent directly to a sensitive database server or an order/fulfillment system, etc. Rather, you'd use "middleware proxy" to arbitrate the requests, consult with a policy engine, log processing context, etc before relaying the requests on to the target system.
I spent 10 years in perl and created a lot in it - it taught me a lot about code as a culture,importance of tests, TIMTOWTDI, etc. I think I owe a lot to it.
I found myself defending it more and more online against the folks who were nay sayers - those who complained about its syntax and it's quirks - but that wasn't a problem for unixers who used sed/awk/vim and all the other arcane tools. Perl wawa means to and end and it was the best tool to reach for (the glorious Swiss army knife).
I guess there was an infection period - the brain drain to python and Ruby meant it was harder to find decent quality libs on CPAN anymore as folks would only do things in python. And Yea, while CPAN is still rich, it's not the first hit on Google anymore.
Today, the map-sort-map Schwarzian transform is still the easiest to do in perl than any other language and it helps me whip up the throwaway scripts quick. Wouldn't change the language - I really love it!
Maybe cmd.exe launch into "your terminal" - styled with starship or whatever, your shell aliases but taking the user into your (code?) projects' directories that they can have a nosey around with (mirroring github repos?)
Umm, the front-loaded 8k hours might not have much return if you were sedantary in the later decades (arguably the years where exercise helps stave off metabolic disease) as much as sustained levels of exercise all through life.
I mean, we all know of the university budding sports star types who probably invested in many hours training and trying to break into their sport professionally but not quite cutting it - and then "retiring into mediocrity" with the regular 9-5,2 hour commute, 3 kids and the diet to match. They exercise no differently to the regular Joe and suffer all the maladies the same.
I like the idea but I live in Europe and that and some skill issues couldn't get a route planned.
It would be nice if the route start and end selections could be from points ona map (for the outdoorsy types like me) as the text fields find nothing for me.
The landmark and node Explorer modes didn't show any results.
Nice! We'll link to this for our internal consultancy work.
It'd be nice to show the other dimension of the git branching strategies to apply. Github flow/feature-branches vs per-env branches of main vs git flow. How and when to apply changes in different environments - before vs after PRs, etc.
Actually the `gh clone` wraps up all the complexity with enterprise authn/authz, Tokens/PATs, multi-org SSO/MFA, etc really well. This alone is the reason I use gh.
> Women choose to have sex consensually, no?
Consent to sex doesn't imply consent to pregnancy (or even the consent to carry to term after) - it just doesn't follow, even with the risks of pregnancy.
Documentation-as-an-artefact of the continuous delivery process - every feature is feature-complete only when counterpart documentation is generated and integrated/built as part of the pull-request procese.
I.E. A code/solution review must also consider the documentation alongside the feature or solution.
This implies that the documentation is (held beside) source code too and can be diffed/compared e.g. Markdown for text, mermaid/graphviz for diagrams and that this can be built, rendered or published easily/readily (Hugo, zola, etc)
Typically, this is the glib superficial answer a non-runner would have.
To a runner, you are your own opponent, your feet and the terrain the challenges and the elation and endorphin rush afterwards the goal/reward.
And watching running, well, watching capable elite runners glide effortlessly or outdoing themselves with a surge from deep within - it's kinda exhilarating just willing them on. And if that's not sport.. Not sure what qualifies :)
I burned out just before the birth of my daughter - it was the extra I was doing to make sure I'd handed off to my replacement during paternity leave that sent me over the edge. The week my daughter was born, I was not at work but I couldn't help my mind from racing with fleeting thoughts and needlessly worrying about unfinished business .. I suppose it was "The inertia" and I knew I had to fix myself.
I requested to resign but was given leave to recover by my manager (which was very helpful). I ended up taking 6 months off doing all and nothing - took care of my baby daughter, helped my wife out, fixed small things around the house, picked up cycling, read a lot, went on small excursions and holidays, soaked up the sun, etc.
This helped "forget" and rejuvenate and I was now confident in myself that I wasn't a neurotic hamster-in-a-wheel anymore and stable enough to negotiate a better return to work - I ended up requesting a change of team/project which was a clean start and little in terms of attachment or responsibility that'd draw me back to being overwhelmed.
Things didn't work out in the new team - and that's just fine. I was free enough then to start job hunting and find work in a new place without being forced to jump ship.
Your point is valid but you've completely sidestepped the question and have not entertained contrary possibility. The question is a legitimate one. Don't the people of Russia deserve to learn about their world via the Internet? If for anything, to decide on the objectivity of the news they'd get via a propaganda machine anyway? Surely that's a way of not staving off the potential in grassroots movements to bring about resistance and change.
Access to the Internet should be a human right in today's age. Depriving any nation state of that right is like foisting upon them a poverty greater than an economic one - I'd argue we are all poorer off if we have 2 North Koreas.
Nice! Surely if IPv6, you're using DNS, no? And not typing out the full changing IPv6 addresses? Even in your homelab? Making this concept a bit moot at best - awkward to manage if anything.
