Hi all, I'm excited to introduce a project I built to scratch my own itch I call cloving. It helps generate code, unit tests, commit messages and more all from your terminal. It currently supports both local and remote LLM providers like OpenAI, Gemini, and more. What makes cloving different is its detailed automated prompt generation techniques. Your feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated!

I think ReleaseHub is going for (b). The differentiation is that it would be a fully managed and fully configurable/customizable PaaS on your own infrastructure or even on premise instead of a black-box infrastructure owned and managed by the PaaS provider.

ReleaseHub has an encrypted secrets at rest solution built-in, but can support vault or secrets manager if an organization is already using that.

a simple, opinionated environment if it strips the complexity out of the process.

That's exactly what ReleaseHub is :)

I built an e2e encrypted cloud service for secrets in case you’re interested in trying it: https://cloudenv.com

Great questions! Thank you!

Doppler does not do End-to-End encryption, so their service has plain text access to your secrets.

What's crazy about a desktop GUI to manage secrets to me is that it's overkill when doing vim with the equivalent of a .env file is perfectly adequate for many use cases.

Envwarden is great, but with CloudEnv you can do access control via IP addresses, you can grant new IP address access via email approval, you can grant read-only access to some IP addresses... so you get a lot of flexibility over who and when the access to your secrets is given. In addition, there is an auditable access log that keeps track of when and where every access attempt was made.

Hi all; I created an secret management service called CloudEnv (https://cloudenv.com).

There is already Doppler, EnvKey, Vault and a few others, but I wanted something that was:

- End-to-End encrypted, I don't want my secrets hosted in plain text

- Super easy and quick to setup

- CLI friendly, I'm plenty happy using vim

- I didn't want to use any crazy desktop GUIs to edit my vars

Nothing satisfied all these requirements for me. Vault was too heavy. Doppler was not e2e encrypted. EnvKey had a crazy desktop GUI.

I wanted something just right for small teams.

So I made https://CloudEnv.com

Would love your thoughts. Thank you!

Malaria is just as deadly to adults who have never been exposed to it as it is to children under 5 years old. However the more times you catch it, the more immunity you build to it. An adult who has caught malaria multiples times is not likely to die from it. An adult tourist catching it for the first time can be in trouble.

If you like this aesthetic and want to play a game that looks like this and is super fun, try Railroad Ink: https://ondras.github.io/rri/

"There is no nature vs. nurture”

Clickbait anyone?

This whole piece reeks of confusing causation with correlation.

It's this presumption that's wrong: "I am presuming that if the customer actually made money, these guys would pay them from their own pocket."

In a corporation, the owners enjoy limited liability, so should someone actually makes money, they can file for bankruptcy and never have to pay out.

I build and maintain Rails apps and grow online communities.

I co-wrote the “Ruby Cookbook” (over 1,000+ pages of Ruby) and “Programming for PaaS” published by O’Reilly media.

I’ve built multiple Rails websites that scaled to millions of users, 10’s of millions of database records, and hundreds of thousands of customers.

I’ve also raised $9.8 million from leading venture capitalists, lead a team of 45 employees, and negotiated and closed a major acquisition with a Fortune 150.

I have a proven track record of writing scalable code and growing large online communities with cutting edge content marketing techniques.

I stand out because I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to struggle to build my dream, and I know the secrets to achieving your goals.

Reach out to me, I’d love to hear your story.

If only this article was in the form of a metaphor, I might believe it.

Kelly criterion never claimed to prevent bankruptcy. It only tells you how to bet to achieve the maximum theoretical return possible given a set of odds and payouts.

I say theoretical because unless you're in a casino, you don't know the actual odds and edge you are playing with (because they move) which makes your Kelly ideal bet size a guess rather than a fixed number.

Here's more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

That's not true. If you bet 99% of your money each time then there's still no probability that you go bankrupt (it's literally impossible to go bankrupt unless you bet all your money), and you make money much faster.

The huge mistake you're making is in assuming that money is infinitely divisible. Let's say you start with $1 and you bet 99 cents and lose. Now try betting 99% of 1 cent and see if you don't go bankrupt.

It's very simple to verify Kelly's findings by building a naive simulator.

Nice ad hominem attempt, but even though I accidentally switched a minus for a plus, the point the math teaches is the same: risk of ruin accumulates with the number of bets.

For more information check "Risk of Ruin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_of_ruin

You are wrong twice there... sane people make that bet every day by smoking (limited upside gain, risk of ruin loss) and by taking many prescription medicines that have side effects including death.

Using a cell phone is taking that bet. You are betting that 50 years of cell phone exposure won't cause brain cancer. Nobody knows for sure yet, nobody has had cell phones for 50 years. I'm not saying it will or it won't cause cancer. I don't know. But it has the possibility of risk of ruin.

Second, constant amount betting does have risk of ruin even with an edge. Take a fair coin flip where you start with $500 and get $51 for heads and lose $50 for tails. A clear edge with a constant betting amount. In 100 flips, you have a 27.23% chance of ruin.

For more information consult the concept of "Gambler's ruin" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_ruin

First of all, some people do play games like that. But put that aside for a moment because it’s immaterial. Look at what Taleb is essentially saying: if there is a chance you will be ruined, and you play long enough, you will eventually be ruined. Even if that chance is 1%, probabilities add over time. 1.0170 = 2. If the chance of ruin is 1% then after 70 plays the chance of ruin is 100%.

> Actually, what I’m saying is even stronger. I am saying that even if you have the edge, in the presence of the probability of ruin, you will be ruined. Even if you had the edge … If you play long enough.

He wouldn't pass 1st year college math course with that one.

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Let's say you play a game with an edge where you win 2x your money 99% of the time. But if you lose once, you lose all your money (1% risk of ruin). If you play this game 70 times, you are very likely to end up ruined.

It’s a lot like smoking. One cigarette won’t kill you, but add up the probability cigarette after cigarette, pack after pack, year after year and the probability starts to skyrocket.

It’s still legal to drive horse and buggies on roads, even though it is 10x more dangerous for the people driving them. Why haven’t they forced us into stopping horse and buggies? Should someone have forced cars to not be invented because they didn’t have horses and if there aren’t horses, you can’t add horses later? I’ve heard horse and buggies are a lot of fun to ride over riverbeds too, after all.

So you want to limit my freedom of owning a car without a steering wheel so that you can protect your freedom of owning one with a steering wheel? That doesn’t make much sense to me. Just because one company makes a better mouse trap doesn’t mean that everyone is subjected to only buying the new mouse trap. Welcome to free market capitalism.

Then say what you mean. Instead of trying to limit my freedom of owning a self-driving car, make it clear you are arguing for the right of people to drive what they want to and we’ll be on the same page.

Most people in the self-driving cars world are not talking about "taking away" other use cases for wheeled vehicles. It's a strawman.

If I tried it, I wouldn't try it with the same car I drive to work with every day. I'd use a car built to drive over riverbeds. Most people aren't saying that self-driving cars should take over every kind of vehicle with wheels. I think the main purpose is to give commuters and truck drivers another option, not to remove options from people.

How do self-driving cars restrict your freedom? You can still tell it where you want to go at any time and it will take you. I'm very confused what freedom I'm losing? Is it to drive over a riverbed if I want to? Never done that. Not sure I'd want to.

It’s similar to 1999 dotcom run up, there will be a crash to remove all the bad actors (like the former pets.com), but it won’t kill cryptocoins just like the dotcom crash didn’t kill ecommerce.
