“That guy” works full time as a kernel developer on the Linux memory management.
I was in the same camp when I had to use Python on the job, but when Scala introduced (optional) significant whitespace, I actually grew to like it a lot. I think the important difference to Python is, that with a good type system and compile time checks a whitespace error is basically always a compile time error in Scala. That’s also for me it’s worse in a configuration language (unless you have a schema file for validation, which is rarely the case sadly)


Well to be fair, atheism and pagan also are assigned to non-Linux OSes here.
This basically amounts to a key/interaction logger in the IDE. I’d suspect this would prevent many people contributing to projects using something like that, at least I wouldn’t install such a plug-in.
What exactly would you checksum? All intermediate states that weren’t committed, and all test run parameters and outputs? If so, how would you use that to detect an LLM? The current agentic LLM tools also do several edits and run tests for the thing they’re writing, then edit more until their tests work.
So the presence of test runs and intermediate states isn’t really indicative of a human writing code and I’m skeptical that distinguishing between steps a human would do and steps an LLM would do is any easier or quicker than distinguishing based on the end result.


Even counting all who voted for them, as the voter turnout was 64%. I’m not sure how much of the population 100% would be with that voter registration system the US has (is 100% all registered voters or all that could in theory register), but even if 100% was all the population, it would only be around 35% MAGA voters
We have three cats, and the idiot one is also the plotting one (just unsuccessful).

She regularly tries to get into places she isn’t allowed, like the stairway to the other flats, but at the same time took two years to understand how to push open an ajar door…


A lot of Dockerfiles start with installing dependencies via the base image’s package manager, without specifying exact versions (which isn’t always possible, as most distros don’t keep all history of all packages in their repos). So all your dependencies may have different versions, when you build again.

Same here. Mine is even nearly the same size
I thought the default interactive shell is still bash on Ubuntu, dash is only used for /bin/sh, isn’t it? At least bash is also installed by default, as there are so many scripts that wouldn’t run otherwise
I switched to zsh at a time where completion for commands parameters except file paths in bash wasn’t really a thing, you could add some with a script, but they didn’t work well. I’m sure the situation has improved by now, but someone told me recently, there are still no descriptions for the completions. I find it very helpful and it saves me opening a man page a lot of times. For example, typing grep -<Tab> gives me this:

And now I’m so used to many little features (mostly around the syntax) that wouldn’t be a reason to switch on their own, that I find bash cumbersome to use.
Isn’t sha512sum a regular binary, that should not depend on the shell at all? What does nushell do that something like that can break o.O


I’m not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.
Well, ideally you encrypt your data before transferring, so the provider never sees your data. I’m using a storagebox to backup btrfs incremental snapshots (using btrbk) and just AES encrypt them locally before sending them over, so I don’t care if the storagebox itself is encrypted.
Maybe they also named him after Charlie Chaplin for the moustache ;)
I used fzf before atuin, and it works pretty similar, but atuin has a few additional features, as it tracks more information than the normal shell history. For example, you can also search only for commands that you executed in the current directory (great for stuff that is project specific). Or, if you use the history syncing feature, you can toggle search for commands you executed on either any or only the current machine.
In zsh, you can configure the completion to also show descriptions.
Thank you, from a quick glance it seems to be able to do everything I need. I will try it for my next load test.
The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn’t yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.
Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?
Are there any obvious signs of it being vibe coded that I’m missing?
In my experience, projects not being very active, especially small ones by a single person, isn’t anything new that has much to do with LLMs, it was always that way for hobby projects. And it was inactive for only about a month now, with the author replying within one day before that. I have a few hobby projects myself and don’t reserve time every month to work on them or check on their repos.
