So a potential URI format?
It’s a demo that hasn’t been updated forever. But there’s something there.
Say, track the evolution of a function over time.
Datomic isn’t really the point here. The interesting part is adding more context over Git. Making a Git repository queryable (with syntax awareness).
Git is a thin layer on top of the file system. But if you can provide richer abstractions on top of that…
I will forever remember that I was able to check out “Computer Lib/Dream Machines” from the Georgia Tech library. Perhaps the best thing I got out of my time there.
I’m working on this for a very narrow set of use cases. I think bringing something Git-like to the masses is worthwhile.
Indeed. And that’s the dream. And why so many people who should know better have fallen for the LLM hype. Turns out organizing shit is one of those essential and manual tasks.
Setting aside the particular mechanisms, this remains more of a “knowledge management” issue before getting into implementation.
Both cases are illustrative. While having a queryable file system is potentially useful to those of us working at that level, most people just stick their files into an ad hoc hierarchical structure (or don’t).
Yeah. I’ve always regarded “search” as a fallback for lack of proper organization.
In any case, we have yet to come up with a decent, intelligible abstraction on top of the hierarchical file system. Sticking stuff in buckets works. but the recursion depth becomes a problem quickly.
Anyone growing up on iOS devices has barely encountered hierarchical file systems, though. But iOS doesn’t eliminate the core design problem—you need to put stuff somewhere you can find it. The apps in iOS sort of act as directories.
They have clearly never been ideal. Yet, they persist. I think BFS was the first time it occurred to me that there could be a different world (hey—I was young).
It started out rough (despite the fantastic cast), but only started getting good by the time they cancelled it. Needed more time to find its footing.
I think this is a classic example of worse is better: www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBette...
And on that note, Quark is 100% correct about humans: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D2S...
Got lucky. Power is back. But I have a great list of DS9 episodes to fall asleep to.
If it makes you feel any better, I “slept” in my AirPods Pro all night last night listening to DS9 episodes because my room is right next to the generator (which self-describes as “Whisper Quiet Operation”). Looking at the rate of grid repairs, I’ve got at least one more night of that.
About halfway through it. lol. We’re still dealing with all of these issues.
Thanks for the paper. This is very much what I’ve been thinking about lately.
He coins a term: verification debt. AI generates code faster than humans can comprehend it. The gap between generation and understanding allows software to reach production before anyone validates what it actually does. "Vibe coding is fine," Vogels says, "but only if you pay close attention to what is being built. We can't just pull a lever on your IDE and hope that something good comes out." He pauses. "That's not software engineering. That's gambling."
that's not software engineering. that's gambling.

Yep. But after my one attempt at building an HTML email template, I will happily pay someone else to do it.
Yeah. Biggest barrier to moving is I’ve got my HTML email template working with Kit. And I fucking hate doing HTML email. It’s like the 90s all over again.
We’ve been running our newsletter off Kit for over a year, though I’ve been considering migrating to Buttondown.
Yikes. Seriously?
