I personally use fzf and I'm pretty happy with it, this seems to do a lot more but it's not clear what exactly ?

You didn't quote the interesting part:

our implementation is it only prunes calls from > 3 user messages ago, if context is > 40K, and only if there's at least 20K tokens to be removed

Seems reasonable to me and explains why I can have long sessions (way longer than with zed agents) while still hitting cache. Opencode is just missing per-provider TTL.

Tubleweed has snapshots and rollbacks too by default. But yeah immutable distros are good for beginners so they don't destroy their system!

I was the sole DevOps at my company for a long time, the team is now bigger. I used terraform for AWS and pulumi for K8S (terraform was too restrictive).

IMO pulumi is a huge gain of productivity when you know what you're doing. Cons: * It's plagued by bugs and the pulumi-kubernetes provider is not getting enough attention from the pulumi team (they're always working on compatibility with yet another language instead of focusing on one thing) * You end up with your very specific/personal codebase instead of having a generic/standard thing

Still, no regrets, I saved so much time thanks to pulumi!

With a bigger team: * Oboarding people takes more time * You end up with code quality issues. Most "DevOps" people aren't devs, sadly.

I ran into: - too high memory usage - no warning when a task doesn't yield - monkey patching: * general confusion like threading.local behaving differently * pain to integrate sentry in gunicorn with gevent since you need to import sentry after monkey patching. The OTel libs work better but you need to be careful * all compiled libs need to be replaced (eg psycogreen) ...

Building a framework on a non-async foundation (flask) in 2025 is bizarre. The only way to scale a flask API is to use gevent, which is just problems waiting to happen. Asyncio is just better, safer and has been adopted by the industry.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER

This announcement contains so many fake marketing words I can't help but read it in DJT's voice... Add Tim Apple's present and yeah, cool tech, not interested.

The main issue is podman support on Ubuntu. Ubuntu ships outdated podman versions that don't work out of the box. So I use podman v5, GitHub actions uses podman v3, and my coworkers on Ubuntu use docker. So now my script must work with old podman, recent podman and docker

I'm in the position where I have to run a WAF to pass security certifications. The only open source WAFs are modsecurity and it's beta successor, coraza. These things are dumb, they just use OWASP's coreruleset which is a big pile of unreadable garbage.

It looks like what the grafana stack does but it's linking specialized tools instead of building one big tool (eg linking traces [0]).

The only thing then is that there is no link between logs and metrics, but I guess since they created alloy [1] they could make it so logs and metrics labels match, so we could select/see both at once ?

Oh ok here's a blog post from 2020 saying exactly this: https://grafana.com/blog/2020/03/31/how-to-successfully-corr...

Ansys SimAI | DevOps (more developer than SRE) | REMOTE (France, office is in Paris) | Full time

We're building products to predict the results of numerical simulation and act on them. Since joining the Ansys portfolio we are experiencing more demand than ever and we need help to transform a good product and infra into something truly great.

At SimAI we lightly use AWS and heavily depend on Kubernetes, both being 100% configured through Infrastructure as Code (a bit of terraform and a lot of pulumi). You will mostly work with Typescript (pulumi), Python (scripts and application code), Bash (scripts).

As a DevOps at SimAI you will work with me on exciting subjects like moving the compute closer to the customer, you will also work on improving our security posture and help secure more certifications for our platform. As part of my job at SimAI I personally maintain <https://github.com/Trow-Registry/trow>.

Don't hesitate to apply, motivation matters as much as experience to me ! Apply here: https://careers.ansys.com/job/Montigny-le-Bretonneux-Senior-...

The long double type varies dramatically across platforms: [...] What sets numpy_quaddtype apart is its dual-backend approach: Long Double: This backend uses the native long double type, which can offer up to 80-bit precision on some systems allowing backwads compatibility with np.longdouble.

Why introduce a new alias that might be 128 bits but also 80 ? IMO the world should focus on well defined types (f8, f16, f32, f64, f80, f128), then maybe add aliases.

In the end, we chose the potential dangers of reimplementing command line parsing over the potential issues of including clap

Have you considered using argh ? Seems like it has the upsides without the downsides.
