I struggle to see value with git hooks. They're an opt-in, easily opt-out way of calling shell scripts from my understanding--you can't force folks to run them, and they don't integrate/display nicely with CI/CD.

Why not just call a shell script directly? How would you use these with a CI/CD platform?

Besides during commit, pre-commit/prek can run all hooks with `run`. So in CI/CD you can replace all discrete lint/format tool calls with one to pre-commit/prek. E.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/.github/workflow....

You have never split your working tree changes into separate commits?

forgotpwd16 · 5 days ago

Irrelevant question. In README has:

>Built in public as a learning-by-doing project

So, either the entire project was already written and being uploaded one file at the time (first modification since lowest commit mentioned is README update: https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/6fa48be1187f596dde8..., clearly AI generated and clearly AI used has codebase/architecture knowledge), and this claim is false, or they're implementing a new component every 30s.

>All the code, architecture, logic, and design in minikv were written by me, 100% by hand.

Why people always lie with this? Especially in this case that they uploaded the entire log:

  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:08:04 2025 +0100
      Add hashing utilities and consistent hash ring
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:07:24 2025 +0100
      Create mod.rs for common utilities in minikv
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:07:03 2025 +0100
      Add configuration structures for minikv components
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:06:26 2025 +0100
      Add error types and conversion methods for minikv
  Date:   Sat Dec 6 16:05:45 2025 +0100
      Add main module for minikv key-value store

And this goes on until project is complete (which probably took 2~3h total if sum all sessions). Doubt learned anything at all. Well, other than that LLMs can solo complete simple projects.

Comments in previous submission are also obviously AI generated. No wonder was flagged.

Similar: https://www.moltbook.com & https://chan.alphakek.ai. Both launched few days ago. Also kinda funny how former and this are -book/-gram yet replicate reddit.

Sure it's only AI posting? Quite hard to tell these posts apart from the average /g/ content.

A collider produces far more than new particles or explanations. They produce papers and phds. In effect, thier primary goal is to produce stem careers. The new particles are just the public announcements. The collider doesnt even need to be functional. Much/most of the work occures before first light, before anyone turns it on. The design of the ring and its innumerable detectors and subsystems takes decades. So a great many people want the next collider to be funded regardless of its potential for scientific discovery.

The same discussion can happen re the ISS. Its primary purpose was not science. It existed to give shuttle a parking spot, to keep the US manned space program ticking along and to keep a thousand russian rocket people from going to work for rando countries. The ISS will soon end. Are we going to put up a new one? A place to park starliner and dragon? Or are we going to shut down low earth orbit spaceflight? The decision will not turn on the potential for new science, rather it will be about supporting and maintaining a flagship industry.

But it's worth noting that many experiments took place on ISS covering few domains, examples being AMS (cosmology), CAL (quantum physics), SAFFIRE (combustion), and Veggie (botany/sustainability).

Cool, I like these kinds of projects. When it comes to embedding a scripting language in C, there are already some excellent options: Notable ones are Janet, Guile, and Lua. Tcl is also worth considering. My personal favorite is still Janet[0]. Others?
