<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; This article critiques computer reviews that pigeonhole users, arguing that limitations can be a powerful learning tool, especially for those new to computing. It uses Apple's hypothetical MacBook Neo to illustrate how a seemingly underpowered machine can foster obsession and deep understanding by forcing users to push its boundaries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters debated the role of slow computers in software development, with &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/alwour"&gt;jcs&lt;/a&gt; suggesting that using slower machines can lead to more optimized software. Several users, like &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/u6w18r"&gt;miro&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/7qychk"&gt;zod000&lt;/a&gt;, shared experiences of using or developing for less powerful hardware. A significant discussion revolved around the author's statement about Chromebooks, with &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/y8kxvq"&gt;slightknack&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/o830u5"&gt;JustinAzoff&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/lczqwf"&gt;Teckla&lt;/a&gt; pointing out that Chromebooks can run Linux environments, allowing users to install and experiment with applications like Blender, thus refuting the idea that Google "decides" what users are allowed to do.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Key questions include whether to use one key for everything, one per host/use case, where to store them (e.g., `~/.ssh`, 1Password), and preference for `ssh-agent` or `-i` flag. The author seeks unorthodox but useful methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Many users recommend hardware-backed keys, particularly Yubikeys, for personal and work use, with keys never residing on the machine (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/3epvc3"&gt;sarcasticadmin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/a0cijw"&gt;davidg&lt;/a&gt;). Some utilize Yubikeys as certificate authorities to sign public keys (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/krqdwe"&gt;jamesog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/tqgdke"&gt;seabre&lt;/a&gt;). Other popular solutions include Secretive (Mac-only) for Secure Enclave storage (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/x7p2tu"&gt;z0mbix&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/jihyuf"&gt;heckie&lt;/a&gt;), Tailscale SSH, and Bitwarden's SSH agent. The discussion also touches on the security implications and threat models of different key management strategies, like "key per host" and short-lived SSH certificates.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>practices</category><category>ask</category></item><item>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/l3rkdl/parametricity_comptime_is_bonkers</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; Noel Welsh's article contrasts Rust's parametricity, where generic type signatures constrain implementations, with Zig's `comptime`, which allows functions to behave differently based on compile-time type inspection. Parametricity reduces code comprehension costs by providing language-enforced constraints. While `comptime` is powerful, it sacrifices this predictability, requiring a deeper understanding of what is lost without parametricity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters debated methods to subvert Rust's parametricity, using unsafe code (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/grlg2s"&gt;invlpg&lt;/a&gt;), `Any` (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/nkss8m"&gt;natkr&lt;/a&gt;), or custom traits (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/qotne9"&gt;isuffix&lt;/a&gt;). They explored whether Rust functions can be truly "pure" and the implications of such deviations on type safety and code predictability. Andrewrk also shared his attempt to implement this with traits and errors (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/0rrv4d"&gt;andrewrk&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/vb7ipx/my_postgresql_database_got_nuked_lol</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; Akseli Lahtinen recounted how their PostgreSQL database was repeatedly "nuked" due to common misconfigurations: a Docker container exposing PostgreSQL publicly with default `postgres:postgres` credentials, and the absence of a firewall (UFW) on their VPS. They discovered that Docker's default port publishing binds to all interfaces and that a firewall is crucial. The issues were resolved by binding Docker ports to `127.0.0.1` and properly configuring UFW.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; The discussion revolved around Docker's default networking and firewall interactions. Users suggested Podman as an alternative that doesn't interfere with host firewalls (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/89bbj0"&gt;cyberia&lt;/a&gt;), though some noted potential bypasses with `firewalld` (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/prwkv7"&gt;yorickpeterse&lt;/a&gt;). Other advice included using Unix domain sockets (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/1dckjw"&gt;valpackett&lt;/a&gt;) or skipping port forwarding for internal services (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/3aaddw"&gt;stephank&lt;/a&gt;). Technomancy (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/efbeny"&gt;technomancy&lt;/a&gt;) drew parallels to the historical ease of MySQL setup versus PostgreSQL, highlighting how development defaults can be dangerous in production.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/eng6mr/dreaming_ten_year_computer</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; The author, Alexwlchan, aims to use his current computer for a decade, highlighting that his computing needs haven't changed significantly and modern hardware is more than capable. He achieves this through careful setup, minimizing background processes, disabling JavaScript, favoring static websites, and developing custom tools. His long-term perspective is influenced by his digital preservation career and concerns about future computer supply chain stability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters largely concur that 10-year computer lifespans are attainable, especially with Linux (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/bp3tc3"&gt;jmiven&lt;/a&gt;) or for less demanding users (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/yfjvuh"&gt;veqq&lt;/a&gt;), noting Moore's law has slowed. Discussions include the value of repairable hardware like older Thinkpads (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ahyhe2"&gt;technomancy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/qpwfpr"&gt;eyesinthefire&lt;/a&gt;) and the lament of non-swappable batteries (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/pmovyv"&gt;vpr&lt;/a&gt;). macOS update limitations are cited as a hurdle for Mac longevity (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/yq6gm3"&gt;jm&lt;/a&gt;), while open-source software is praised for extending hardware life (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/0geioa"&gt;gnafuthegreat&lt;/a&gt;). One user plans for a decade with a high-spec M5 Max MBP, regretting previous under-speccing (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/nvvl7s"&gt;pmc&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; Alex Alejandre interviews Nathan Goldbaum, who is instrumental in enabling free-threading for Python. Goldbaum discusses his path from astrophysics to open-source Python development (NumPy, PyO3), driven by the satisfaction of resolving specific technical problems compared to the open-ended nature of academic research. He advocates for open science, reproducible workflows, and community collaboration, noting how Python's ecosystem is enhancing interoperability through standardization like the Array API Standard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters applaud Goldbaum's work and his advocacy for open science, relating to the academic "secret sauce" issue in various fields (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ptwckx"&gt;rebeca&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/mocyzx"&gt;nicoco&lt;/a&gt;). One commenter notes the increasing norm of open data/code in social sciences (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/wem8vo"&gt;cjr&lt;/a&gt;). Praise is given for Goldbaum's talent on the FT team at Quansight (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/smbgu9"&gt;kenjin&lt;/a&gt;). The discussion also touches upon Mercurial's continued relevance for large monorepos, as detailed in a FOSDEM talk (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/jxjnrl"&gt;mk12&lt;/a&gt;). Minor formatting and typo suggestions for the interview text are also made (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/xwzqwa"&gt;roryokane&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/wekqsx"&gt;veqq&lt;/a&gt;), and one user reacts to a comment about GitHub IP blocking (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/jewbjk"&gt;fedemp&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/wssz9m/grief_ai_split</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; The author discusses how AI-assisted coding is exposing a long-standing but previously invisible divide among developers: those who love the craft of coding for its own sake and those who are primarily driven by achieving results. While acknowledging the grief many feel over the changing landscape, the author's personal grief is more about the external ecosystem (the open web, career shifts) rather than the act of writing code itself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters largely agreed with the existence of the "split." &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/buomun"&gt;fleebee&lt;/a&gt; noted that the advent of LLMs made this difference in thinking about software more apparent among colleagues. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/klfroi"&gt;chai&lt;/a&gt; expressed concern that AI disconnects them from the process of understanding and internalizing code, turning them into managers rather than contributors, and highlighting that many companies prioritize efficiency over code quality. The discussion also touched on the implications for future generations, with &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/l5vhp7"&gt;darth-cheney&lt;/a&gt; asking how they will gain experience, and &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/6rqjoe"&gt;simonw&lt;/a&gt; responding optimistically that they will figure it out and that producing high-quality software will remain a valuable skill.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; Lowdown Manpage Support simplifies the creation of Unix manpages by allowing authors to write them in Markdown and convert them to `mdoc` or `man` format, thereby circumventing the complexities of traditional manpage languages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters discuss various alternatives and approaches to manpage generation. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/bcxwmh"&gt;acatton&lt;/a&gt; mentions `scdoc`, but &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/xk3jih"&gt;dzwdz&lt;/a&gt; points out that `scdoc` lacks the semantic features of `mdoc` that Lowdown offers. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/nnbjmg"&gt;dzwdz&lt;/a&gt; also notes that Lowdown 3.0.0, released last week, is from an author on the `mandoc` team, suggesting its quality. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/exlfpt"&gt;telemachus&lt;/a&gt; appreciates tools that lead to more manpages, recalling `ronn` as a similar Markdown-to-manpage tool. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/f1b6k7"&gt;fanf&lt;/a&gt; highlights Lowdown's understanding of manpage conventions compared to other generators, while &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/9nmh0e"&gt;pyrmont&lt;/a&gt;, creator of Predoc, expresses hope that Lowdown's support encourages more `mdoc`-based manpages. Other tools mentioned include `go-md2man` by &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/odzpr4"&gt;samuelkarp&lt;/a&gt;, AsciiDoc with its `manpage` doctype by &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/uydoy7"&gt;Diti&lt;/a&gt;, and `pandoc` by &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/2wu9co"&gt;jmc&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

What's agent-shell ? Agent shell is a native Emacs mode to interact with LLM agents powered by ACP ( Agent Client Protocol ). Your employer can make a difference agent-shell has been attracting quite a few users. Many of you are working in tech where employers are happily paying for IDE subscriptions and LLM tokens to improve productivity. If you are using agent-shell for work, consider getting your employer to give back by sponsoring the project. I also know many of you work at AI companies offering paid agents like Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, Codex, etc. all supported by agent-shell . Please nudge your employers to help fund projects like agent-shell , which are making their services available to more users. ✨ Sponsor agent-shell ✨ So what's new? claude-code-acp renamed to claude-agent-acp [Action Required] Let's get this one out of the way, as it needs actioning. Both the npm package and the CLI agent have been renamed from claude-code-acp to claude-agent-acp (to align with Anthropic's branding guidelines ). If you're using Claude Code, you'll need to update: npm remove -g @zed-industries/claude-code-acp npm install -g @zed-industries/claude-agent-acp If you had customized agent-shell-anthropic-claude-acp-command , update it to point to claude-agent-acp . New agents supported Auggie ( #179 by @Pacane ). Cline. Factory Droid ( #178 by @ag91 ). GitHub Copilot. Kiro CLI ( #351 by @zmjones ). Mistral Vibe. Pi ( #232 by @conornash ) Bootstrapped sessions (experimental) This was a biggie. How sessions are loaded is now configurable via agent-shell-session-strategy . When set to 'new , starting a new shell delivers a fully bootstrapped session before presenting you with the shell prompt. This means the ACP handshake, authentication, and session creation all happen upfront. You can enable this flow with: (setq agent-shell-session-strategy 'new) What's the benefit? Bootstrapped sessions enable changing models and session modes (Planning, Don't ask, Skip permissions, etc…) before submitting your first prompt. For the time being, the existing (deferred) behaviour is still offered via 'new-deferred . Just set as follows: (setq agent-shell-session-strategy 'new-deferred) Session resume (experimental) Probably the most requested feature and also facilitated by the bootstrapping changes. agent-shell-session-strategy also unlocks session resume. Set it to 'prompt and every time either M-x agent-shell-new-shell or C-u M-x agent-shell are invoked, you'll be offered to resume previous sessions or start a new one. (setq agent-shell-session-strategy 'prompt) Alternatively, you can set to 'latest to always resume the most recent session in current project. Under the hood, there are two ways to pick up from previous session: session/resume (lightweight, no message replay) and session/load (full history replay). By default, agent-shell prefers resuming (controlled by agent-shell-prefer-session-resume ). Please favor resuming for the time being as loading has more edge cases to sort out still. Note: Both resuming and loading sessions are agent-dependent. Some agents may not yet support either, especially as the features aren't yet considered stable in Agent Client Protocol (see session/list spec). This feature was a collaboration between @farra , @travisjeffery , and myself. Clipboard images You can now use agent-shell-send-clipboard-image ( #285 by @dangom ) to send images straight from your clipboard into agent-shell . Clipboard images are saved to .agent-shell/screenshots in your project root and inserted into the shell buffer as context. Note: You'll need either pngpaste or xclip installed on your system for the feature to automatically kick in. In addition, we now have agent-shell-yank-dwim : if the clipboard has an image, it pastes it as context. Otherwise, it yanks text as usual. In other words, copy an image anywhere to your system's clipboard and paste/yank into the buffer as usual (typically via C-y ). Status display + tool calls Status labels and tool call titles rendering got some improvements. Status reporting is generally more compact, redundant text is dropped from tool call titles, and tool status/kind shortening has been consolidated. Image rendering agent-shell now renders images inline. When agents output images (charts, diagrams, screenshots, etc.), they display directly in the shell buffer. You may need to nudge the agent to output image paths in the expected format so agent-shell can pick up. Markdown images: ![alt text](/path/to/image.png) Any of the following in a line of their own are supported also: /path/to/image.png file:///path/to/image.png ./output/chart.png ~/screenshots/demo.png Recognized image formats depend on what your Emacs was built with (typically png, jpeg, gif, svg, webp, tiff, etc. via image-file-name-extensions ). Emacs skills While on the topic of image rendering, this works particularly well when coupled with charting agent skills . I shared some of these over at emacs-skills , demoed in episode 13 of the Bending Emacs series. Table rendering Tables are now rendered using overlays ( #17 by @ewilderj ). Usage tracking Tracking usage now possible ( #270 by @Lenbok ): A color-coded context usage indicator in the header (green -&gt; yellow -&gt; red as context fills up), enabled by default via agent-shell-show-context-usage-indicator . M-x agent-shell-show-usage to check token counts, context window usage, and cost in the minibuffer.r- An optional end-of-turn usage summary can be enabled via (setq agent-shell-show-usage-at-turn-end t) . G&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; No comments yet.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; NG Guard&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Internet_Janitor: A new Flash authoring tool would be _fantastic_, but I'd be wary of this. The author is promising an _incredibly_ ambitious and broad collection of functionality implemented _all at once_, offering a few tantalizing static screenshots of the tool, assuring folks it will be open-source when it's done, and asking for donations. The readme is packed with em-dashes and even a distressingly familiar sentence structure: Not just play them back — edit them. This is based on slop, and beyond that probably vaporware. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/94m2yl"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/94m2yl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fingel: Yea, "This isn’t a proof of concept or a weekend project. It’s a real authoring environment. Here’s where things stand" is where the record came to a screeching halt for me. I hate that this is happening now. Especially for a project like this that tugs at people's heartstrings. People harbor a lot of feelings for Flash and that era of computing in general, many of them positive. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/9kmjvd"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/9kmjvd&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;viraptor: I'd love it if the author actually did it. I'm now worried by the ai gen part. Accidentally I've been doing 3 big chunks of this project separately (reverse engineering + rebuilding a compiler, making a vector editor, making an interactive animation thing). This is now completely doable with some care and the challenge will be in actually giving all of it a coherent UX people want to use (and not running out of money for tokens I guess...) Of course it could be a scam and I wouldn't pay before some early, functioning release is shown. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/d56jwp"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/d56jwp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;hwayne: Who is this person, and why should we trust them to deliver? &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/fhhqcu"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/fhhqcu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;trenchant: Looks awesome, doesn't seem to be a way to try it out. I was hoping the next Flash would run in the browser :-) &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/lvvvww"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/lvvvww&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;calvin: I'm kind of surprised no one capitalized on the decline of Flash, especially now that it's discontinued without any successor from Adobe or otherwise. Both in the niches of 2D animation tools (it seems like Toonboom/Harmony are the last ones left?), and in rich site authoring tools (for web-based RAD and flashy animated sites; in the HTML5 era it seems you have to get devs and designers to do it by hand). &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/vemglp"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/vemglp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;viraptor: It's more enterprisey, but for authoring/animation there's &lt;a href="https://rive.app/"&gt;https://rive.app/&lt;/a&gt; Nowhere near the ease of access/use of flash though. It's not something a generation of kids can pirate and create a culture around. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/vulmh8"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/vulmh8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; The author identifies as a "generative AI vegetarian," choosing to avoid generative AI tools and content due to concerns about bias, the degradation of critical thinking, and the tools' tendency to produce predictable rather than insightful results. They explain their reasons, drawing a parallel to dietary vegetarianism, and advocate for supporting organizations that deliberately avoid generative AI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters debate the effectiveness and appropriateness of the "generative AI vegetarianism" analogy. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/dul35v"&gt;sarah-quinones&lt;/a&gt; points out the analogy's shortcomings regarding "purity" and the difference between personal choice and political conflict. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/qajw0q"&gt;hongminhee&lt;/a&gt; criticizes framing structural harms as personal lifestyle choices, advocating for political intervention over individual abstention, though later conceding that some organization is necessary (&lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/a4bqjc"&gt;https://lobste.rs/c/a4bqjc&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/jplygy"&gt;boramalper&lt;/a&gt; emphasizes the need for organized political force even with mass abstention. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/f3lwhy"&gt;lproven&lt;/a&gt; defends individual abstention as a matter of clear conscience, while &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/odsjgw"&gt;hongminhee&lt;/a&gt; counters that a clear conscience shouldn't substitute for structural change. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ijcdsq"&gt;jmk&lt;/a&gt; compares "AI-free" labels to organic food, which &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/kvomuq"&gt;hongminhee&lt;/a&gt; uses to illustrate the limitation of niche markets in achieving systemic change. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/3fhxdk"&gt;lproven&lt;/a&gt; reiterates their commitment to personal abstention as a line in the sand against "mechanically-recovered words."&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; Gabagool is a WebAssembly interpreter written from scratch, aiming to be fully spec-compliant and performant with the ability to serialize, suspend, and restore its entire execution state. It also features a time-travel debugger and is tested against the WebAssembly spec test suite, passing 96% of tests related to arithmetic, control flow, memory, tables, globals, function references, imports/exports, and exceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters discussed &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/l0d4gt"&gt;time travel debugging&lt;/a&gt; and its implementation, with &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/v2kae3"&gt;matthewkim confirming&lt;/a&gt; that the snapshot/restore system naturally extends to TTD. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/gcos1p"&gt;jaredkrinke questioned&lt;/a&gt; whether it keeps a log of operations or only travels back to checkpoints. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/tp5oat"&gt;matthewkim clarified&lt;/a&gt; that the current idea is to snapshot at every instruction, potentially leading to high memory usage, and sought research on TTD strategies. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/32eeva"&gt;cmcaine suggested&lt;/a&gt; recording IO and taking snapshots every N instructions. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/qgozhd"&gt;shanemhansen brainstormed&lt;/a&gt; log-based or persistent data structures for time travel. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/9qcosb"&gt;jaredkrinke shared&lt;/a&gt; a paper related to Microsoft's x86 time travel debugger. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/cf233t"&gt;Corbin recommended&lt;/a&gt; checking out "decaying histories" for long-lived programs. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/nko0fu"&gt;matthewkim noted&lt;/a&gt; he started implementing a debugger using the exponential decay buffer. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/mnlw3f"&gt;apropos found&lt;/a&gt; the project cool and mentioned tikzjax/web2js as a "terrifying level of jank" for snapshotting Wasm execution for LaTeX compilation. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/h1wqgb"&gt;gignico asked&lt;/a&gt; if it's similar to TeX's "formats," which &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/nnaaly"&gt;apropos confirmed&lt;/a&gt; the author was aware of, and &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/sxdxy5"&gt;gignico explained&lt;/a&gt; formats as memory dumps of TeX after loading macros. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/mdo9tj"&gt;amw-zero made&lt;/a&gt; a humorous reference to "gabagool."&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>On The Need For Understanding</title>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/wxk0ka/on_need_for_understanding</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; The author reflects on Gerald Sussman's observation that modern programming often requires "basic science" to understand foreign libraries, contrasting it with a past where systems were built from entirely understood parts. Through personal anecdotes from their programming journey, they argue that while tools have evolved, the need for deep understanding remains crucial, and often involves delving into the source code of dependencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; Commenters largely agree with the article's premise, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and deep understanding in software development. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/0pgi0e"&gt;daniel_alp&lt;/a&gt; shares an experience where painstaking debugging led to a profound understanding of their code, and expresses concern that LLMs might discourage such deep dives, leading to a loss of critical thinking and creativity. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/vjlapr"&gt;ashwinsundar&lt;/a&gt; highlights the joy of the "hard work and process" of programming, including encountering and systematically solving bugs. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/tam6jq"&gt;hcs&lt;/a&gt; notes that enjoying such work is a valuable trait for programmers. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ba1lkd"&gt;technomancy&lt;/a&gt; suggests that while LLMs might automate "producing lines of code," the "thinking about problems and how they could be solved by code" remains a critical, human-centric career. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/g1yeuw"&gt;krig&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/rlumwn"&gt;tsion&lt;/a&gt; both affirm that delving into the source code of dependencies is an "unreasonably effective skill" and a high-value behavior. &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/lqopsp"&gt;benj&lt;/a&gt; distinguishes between "enterprise" software, where deep understanding might be discouraged, and software as a solution to a problem, where it is essential.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Announcing Mercurial sprint in London, May 27-29th</title>

<comments>https://lobste.rs/s/z5qqob/announcing_mercurial_sprint_london_may</comments>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; We are happy to announce that we will be holding a Mercurial sprint in London, UK from May 27th to 29th 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/7btyv2"&gt;sebastien: I used Mercurial for many years, and loved both the CLI experience and the customizability. I switched to Git when ButBucket stopped Mercurial support and I discovered that hg-git sometimes would just stop working on a repository. It felt like a step down (was missing hg histedit, hg absorb), but now with jj I fell that I have the next generation of Mercurial with no downside.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ztl4as"&gt;dkl: I'm curious what distinguishes Mercurial from Git in 2026 that might explain continued efforts like this. I quit fighting the tide at least a decade ago, maybe a little more, but I'm curious if anyone can put into words what the "killer apps" or whatever are that are keeping the momentum going here.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/fhmxtx"&gt;Sietsebb: For me, Mercurial + hg-git + the Evolve extension is still the nicest way to work with Git repos, and I include several months of Jujutsu experience in that comparison. That Mercurial has a better UI than Git is news that is two decades old by now. It edges out jj for me because its help is more polished. For example, `hg help` groups commands by topic (making commits, looking around, interacting with upstream, etc); whereas `jj help` sorts `jj bookmark` next to `jj bisect`. Or, compare [hg help log](https://repo.mercurial-scm.org/hg/help/log) with [jj help log](https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/cli-reference/#jj-log). Or try finding out why some entries in `jj log` contain a `??` marker. (I know the answer now. It was not easx to find.) I want to give the jj help a copy-editing pass, but it'll be a few months befare I get around to it. ---- Want to try Mercurial as a Git client yourself? These installation instructions will get you set up and running! Tried and tested 2y ago; can't retest now, am an mabile and Termux lacks pipx. If an error has crept in let me know and I'll help you. ``` # build-requirements for debian sudo apt install pipx python3-dev gcc # Latest Mercurial, pre-release version of hg-git pipx install mercurial==6.5.3 pipx inject mercurial hg-evolve dulwich hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/hg-git ~/.local/hg-git # Setup hgrc cat &lt;&lt;EOF &gt;&gt; ~/.hgrc [ui] username = $(whoami) # Your name goes here tweakdefaults = True [extensions] evolve= hggit=~/.local/hg-git/hggit EOF ``` Now try it out: ``` hg clone git+https://github.com/nolar/looptime # random cool repo with short history cd looptime hg log --graph ```&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/gynpqd"&gt;carlomonte: mercurial still has a clean, direct interface. without a quality alternative as benchmark, git would probably be worse. last but not least, "hg serve". i am relly happy that things keep going. i also hope that this hackathon is about working on mercurial on mercurial terms, and not chasing features from git.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; The Guardian, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, has developed CoverDrop, a secure communication system embedded within its news app. This system aims to provide deniable secure messaging for journalists and sources by sending constant, seemingly meaningless encrypted data alongside actual messages, making it difficult for external observers to detect covert communication. The goal is to offer a higher level of protection and deniability than traditional encrypted messaging apps, which can draw unwanted attention to users. The codebase is available on GitHub.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/ptkrvv"&gt;fanf&lt;/a&gt; sees CoverDrop as an "Interesting successor to SecureDrop," while &lt;a href="https://lobste.rs/c/9egknd"&gt;legoktm&lt;/a&gt; (who works on SecureDrop) clarifies it's "More like an alternative/complement to SecureDrop rather than a successor," covering different threat models. They also note that SecureDrop is still active and used by The Guardian.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gist:&lt;/strong&gt; This article investigates whether AI, specifically Claude Code, can replace data engineers. The author tested Claude's ability to build a dbt (data build tool) project using DuckDB for UK Environment Agency flood monitoring data, providing a detailed prompt with requirements like proper staging, handling data quality issues, SCD type 2 snapshots, historical backfill, documentation, tests, and source freshness checks. Claude successfully generated a working dbt project, demonstrating its capability in generating complex data engineering code, though the article implies further discussion on the nuances of its performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lobsters Take:&lt;/strong&gt; No comments yet.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
