An interesting post about a sympathetic problem, but one that could have benefitted from not being written in LinkedIn house style.

The post is about the conceptual underpinnings of the system, not about the specifics of the code. It would be like judging the Linux kernel by the UI running atop it: it's largely immaterial to …

The choice of a pure-monolithic kernel is also interesting; I can buy that it's more secure, but having to recompile the kernel every time you change hardware sounds like it would be pretty tedio…

That's great, but you should still disclose that you're the one providing the "correct solution."

Servo is to a browser what Chromium Embedded Framework is to Chromium. It is the vast majority of what is necessary for a browser, but it is not a browser in itself: it renders websites, but all of th…

That can be true while still being a genuine irritant. Windows and POSIX shells are different enough that you'd never assume that a script would be compatible between them - but the same is not t…

This is also my read; JEPA is a genuinely interesting concept, but he's been hawking it for several years, and nothing has come of it in the domains in which LLMs are successful. Hoping that chan…

You don't have to expose your Immich to the outside world, which may give you a degree of peace of mind. It sits in front of shares, so you would share your albums individually, as you have there…

I would safely bet that the pool of C developers willing to work on a C Git going forward is much closer to exhaustion than the pool of Rust developers willing to work on a Rust(-ish) Git.
