Why would you rewrite something that’s widely considered one of the best written and tested pieces of software in the world?

Not illegal, not exactly voluntary either. Companies are caving to threats from the Trump administration

Flutter has moved to Swift Package Manager, it’s just not enabled by default iirc

The thing is just a cute robot that you can interact with, ala Vector (https://anki.bot/products/vector-robot)

I could be wrong, but I’ve always been under the impression that Obsidian charges a lot for sync because the app is amazing and free. Sync helps pay for that. But they’re also very helpful about providing other ways to sync your files to your phone. I use iCloud Drive (which I have anyway for other reasons).

A warning to those considering applying here: This month, I went through the full interview process with Sourcegraph - 6 interviews, including one with the CTO. I was asked for references, waited around for two weeks while they had a big company meeting, and then was told that I was a great engineer who passed all the interviews but they were pivoting and weren't going to hire me anyways. At a company with 50 engineers where multiple people during the interview process bragged to me about how much runway they had.

I’m deeply confused … what does this actually do? Mark your commit as having tests passed?

Random thing I’ve been wondering: is there a point in including TLS support in web servers any more? Isn’t it always better to run a reverse proxy and terminate HTTPs at the edge?

I mean, they provide the service by stealing data from their users. I would argue that this is just as ethically fine as Youtube's entire business model.

My god there’s a lot of negativity here. Nice work! I’ve been looking for something like this for a very small test I’m running of a mobile app. It’s honestly surprising that there are so few offerings in this space

I found out last year that you can actually run a full SPA using S3 and a CDN. It’s kind of a nuts platform

This is really cool! I've always thought that one thing preventing major competitors to AWS/Azure/GCP is the lack of easy-to-use tooling for machine level monitoring like this. When I was at Microsoft, we built a tool like this that used Windows Firewall filters to track all the network traffic between our services and it was incredibly useful for debugging.

That said, as with anything from Meta, I approach this with a grain of salt and the fact that I can't tell what they stand to gain from this makes me suspicious.

This is a super cool idea! I've sort of mused about an idea for general web search that's very similar to this concept, where you start with a set of trusted entities and then branch out from there, but choosing how you establish trust is really important. But this is a really clever application, well done!

What’s the value prop here vs set -a/+a? That it’s more tolerant of weird variable values?

This comment is about a very minor part of what you said, but isn’t the whole point of a DI framework to write code you’d have written anyway to save you time?

I think the biggest praise I can give uv is that as a non Python dev, it makes Python a lot more accessible. The ecosystem can be really confusing to approach as an outsider. There’s like 5 different ways to create virtual environments. With uv, you don’t have to care about any of that. The venv and your Python install are just handled for you by ‘uv run’, which is magic.

This is an interesting idea! Honestly I didn't even know Github had a per-user readme until you mentioned it

Yeah, obviously this is literally what something like Jekyll or Hugo does. It's just (at least to me) a simpler version of that where you can fully see what's happening. Also I didn't want all the theme-ing overhead that comes with those - just something I could inject into my existing site.

It's odd to me that there's nothing indicating an issue is ongoing on the github.com homepage

I dunno if this was obvious to everyone but OP is one of the founders of Hashicorp

Man this is sad … I think I’ve been visiting this site for its entire lifetime. AnandTech has always been the best place for unbiased, deeply technical looks at hardware and it will be greatly missed

As a long time C# dev, I feel like I’m missing something about this proposal. The use case for this doesn’t seem well defined to me. Could someone give me a real world example?

I’m pretty sure you can implement the example in this proposal by declaring an empty interface and having some record classes that “implement” it. Does that lose something that I’m not seeing?

The $400/month doesn’t account for their labor, does it? I feel like that’s why people donate personally

I've been a backend engineer for 14+ years at some of the best companies in the world. I love to solve hard problems and I'm passionate about quality, be that writing quality code or establishing good engineering practices. I have worked professionally in over 5 languages and personally in over 10 so I feel extremely comfortable spinning up on new languages and frameworks. I'm looking for an environment where I can learn and grow and feel challenged by the work.

Why does your business deserve to exist if you can't do so without stealing from your customers?

Woah, this is super cool. Do you have a live example of the website scraping?

Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems like this doesn’t need to be a DNS rewrite at all. Couldn’t you just set a proxy server for outgoing requests that passes through for ones that aren’t a redirect? Or is the trade off there performance (since you’re proxying every request instead of just certain DNS names)?

100% had this thought because of the repetition. It generally just feels like it makes the same point three times without adding anything new in any of them.

Oh huh I didn't even think of that (opening directly in the Store app). Agreed that the title situation is annoying. The fact that they're even separate store IDs is really frustrating TBH.

I actually just pulled the images from the Xbox API. I unfortunately don’t have a generic source for game images. Does OpenCritic offer something like that?
