Very interesting. I'd like to learn more about how it works. How does this compare to DVC[1], for instance?

I'll throw in a shameless plug for my tool in this area, Dud[2]. Dud is to DVC what Flask is to Django.

Are the mentioned benchmarks published somewhere?

TLDR: Small, cross-functional teams build better products.

Nice! Do you already have benchmarks for this? In our experience we are way more limited by IO, or OS calls to traverse the FS than by Python. Curios to see some test results. And overall, great to see this in Go, would love to chat with you guys sometime.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I'm aiming to have basic benchmarks published in the next month.

A tool for storing, versioning, and reproducing large files alongside source code. It's called Dud[1].

Dud : DVC :: Flask : Django

Open-sourced last October, targeting a more polished release in Q1.

I really like this method as opposed to using a bare Git repository. For one, it's conceptually simpler in my mind; you don't have to understand Git internals to get this working. Secondly, this lets you pick and choose which config files you want to "install" on a machine.

I feel obligated to share my Bash script, dotfiles.sh[1], that accomplishes what Stow does, but with a few tweaks that I found particularly useful:

dotfiles.sh targets the user's home directory by default (i.e. stow -t $HOME).

dotfiles.sh never symlinks directories, only files (i.e. stow --no-folding). (This was the straw that broke the camel's back and made me roll my own script in the first place.)

dotfiles.sh makes backups of local config files and can restore them if you remove your symlinked version.

My script is quite old now, and I use it so seldomly I'm not convinced there aren't bugs. YMMV.

No Special Duty - Radiolab[1]

From the link below: "What are the police for? Producer B.A. Parker started wondering this back in June, as Black Lives Matter protests and calls to “defund the police” ramped up. The question led her to a wild story of a stabbing on a New York City subway train, and the realization that, according to the law, the police don’t always have to protect us. Producer Sarah Qari joins Parker to dig into the legal background, which takes her all the way up to the Supreme Court... and then all the way back down to on-duty officers themselves."
