blumomo··on My Homelab AI Dev Platform
What _IS_ Arcane? I fail to understand from their website https://getarcane.app/

Is it a deployment automation platform where it can run a project’s docker services, with rollback and all?

blumomo··on Show HN: Emdash – Open-source agentic development environment
> Still, we believe that developers need an interface to interact with these agents;

CLIs like claude code equally improve over time. tmux helps running remote sessions like there were local.

Why should we invest long time into your „ADE“, really?

> see their status and review / test their work

Won’t that be addressed eventually by the CLIs themselves?

Maybe you’re betting on being purchased by one of the agentic coding providers given your tool has long term value on its own?

blumomo··on Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today
Had exactly the same thoughts. Thanks for saving me from posting this.
blumomo··on Build durable workflows with Postgres
I’m also interested in what you think can become best practices where we can have (auto-scaling) worker instances that can pick up DBOS workflows and execute them.

Do you think an app’s (e.g. FastAPI) backend should be the DBOS Client, submitting workflows to the DBOS instance? And then we can have multiple DBOS instances with each picking up jobs from a queue?

Who can she a light on where these claims „far right forces“ originate? What were these spam emails saying?
blumomo··on "We're building a new static type checker for Python"
Moving from Java to Python for the preferred backend language many many years ago was a relief: building prototypes faster, no need to mention obvious types (int, bool, string) anywhere. In some places using (data) classes and I had robust programs. When doing type mistakes, running the program or having unit tests exactly told me where I had it wrong - no need for type annotations to enjoy programming, right?

But now over the last years, I happen to prefer changing programs a lot without running them a lot. I often do code refactorings over multiple commits, being highly concentrated, without running the code once. And then only running the code only 1 hour or 2 later. Such a pleasant activity! Just writing, reading, writing, thinking code. No ugly and long stack traces, no need to input user data into input fields, just reading and changing the program code, with the editor in full screen.

And guess what I highly started to appreciate, after many years of Python! Type annotations! With type annotations a LSP would immediately underline any mistake I would accidentally make, and that made me feel much more comfortable and secure about my changes, over several commits, touching 100s of lines without ever running the program. I suddenly learned to understand, after many years of dynamic type less programming with Python, that I can get more easily and for much longer into a flow state when I add annotations and run a LSP live over my code while I work on it.

blumomo··on Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference
Slightly related: what did Zuckerberg a few days ago reveal again about manipulation on his platform in 2020 and forward?

How can one proof/reject authenticity of this article?
blumomo··on Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes
Big fan of Digital Ocean App Platform here. Deploying, running and scaling containers is so easy and their very good abstractions and tooling are worth the money.
blumomo··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
That is to say what?
blumomo··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
The research concluded in a hypothesis, not a factual proof.
blumomo··on Humans have caused 1.5 °C of long-term global warming according to new estimates
Read: “projected” not “actual” future (!) warming.

It wouldn’t be the first time these climate “scientists” were wrong.

It’s you who’s simply wrong.

You have to look before the ice period, that’s what OP refers to as long term.

blumomo··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2024)
Keep building these great tools, the “question?” mode and the new “!assistant” / “!code” mode are really well done
blumomo··on Prisma Postgres – Runs on bare metal and unikernels
I recall Prism as a player in the GraphQL server field, this was about 8 years ago.

Anyone knows what happened to that? According to their website they now offer only Postgres services?

blumomo··on We shrunk our Javascript monorepo git size
You Germans have slow internet speed? Why’s that?
blumomo··on Ask HN: How do I find my co-founder?
Why not doing it alone? What’s stopping you from coding the product yourself? Is it an option to instead of finding a cofounder you find willing people who help you improving on your coding skills while you build the first prototype yourself? You could always find a CTO later once you’ve proven that your idea is viable?
blumomo··on Hy 1.0 – Lisp dialect for Python
Oh, thanks. He seemed so enthusiastic about Hy :-)

I just read through the author list on the Hy repo and had a glimpse into their blog posts. Cool stuff, great work.

blumomo··on Hy 1.0 – Lisp dialect for Python
Congratulations! I once bought your eBook on Hy, and still today I regularly receive notifications about your book having been updated. Thank you for your steady contributions. I really want to use Hy in one my production apps one day.
blumomo··on Open-Source CLI tool to inspect databases fast
Cool approach!

This tool appeals to me as someone who is already familiar to pgcli, psql, mysql, etc. Typing every time SELECT * FROM… annoys me, too.

I’d prefer to already evaluate the tool in the first or second paragraph. If you could move the readme section with the most eye opening and time saving commands right after the video, that would be great.

Thanks for making and sharing this tool.

blumomo··on EU ChatControl is back on the agenda
Not related? Surely I’m still commenting on my parent’s post:

> I think a good democratic system will not have a new leader every year but maybe every 4-8 years.

I’m saying that this democracy is an illusion as long as you have puppet masters controlling these “democratically elected” puppets like Biden.

blumomo··on EU ChatControl is back on the agenda
At the beach again! What a great life as a president! I’m sure he gets to solve many of the US problems thinking carefully at the beach…
blumomo··on EU ChatControl is back on the agenda
True. If only these elected leaders wouldn’t be controlled by institutions and individuals who (1) are handlers to the elected leaders and (2) are not even elected in the first place.

In the US, who currently has the power over your country? Is it your Biden (where is he?), your Harris? It someone else, maybe unelected?

Where does one get a geo location for an IP address from?

blumomo··on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn
Telegram is being partially punished for allowing non main stream media flourish: German #RKIfiles today proof that vaccination pressure and lock downs where politically motivated, but criticized by RKI’s scientific personal. I learned this already 4 years ago, from Telegram channels where scientists and journalists where not censored! Now Durov has to pay that bill. But maybe Durov should have also cooperated with crime investigations! But we all know that this power to read chats would have been abused by governments! What’s poor Durov going to do???
blumomo··on Free-threaded CPython is ready to experiment with
Did Python as the language change which justified that version bump?
blumomo··on Use a work journal
GitLab issues also works nicely for journaling. Each issue is a task, bundled into milestones. Within each issue you can add comments and even have one level of nested comments. Good for a lightweight hierarchical journaling. And comments/threads of an issue can each be “resolved”, all within the same issue. Great for progress tracking.

Ah, and you can paste images and have syntax highlighting. Great for debugging.

blumomo··on Hugo documentation theme as simple as plain book
So this theme is to organize contents like a book, chapters, subchapters, etc.?
