Maybe, as a bank, you should not be using a random library taken from the internet, with a single maintainer and some 100 stars, and make it a critical dependency of your banking operations.

Maybe, as a bank, your IT should write and maintain such a library and open source it.

Maybe, as a bank, you should not continue to use the first library, and do the second thing after the first library was able to take down critical parts of your infra the first time.

Because we live in a society, and as a bank, you should be contributing to it, too.

But then, what do I know.

Playing with 'aider' and Rust today. Using ollama with devistral model.

My little laptop is almost hovering from the exhaust fan. I understand now why we may have an energy crisis as a result of #LLM ('AI').

This feels a lot like the old days when compiling my first large production C++ application.

I'm really not sure if I should 'lean in' to this one and give the results of my ride or just let it lie.

My heart says 'lean in'. But my gut says. 'Nope. That could be a little too much.'

@RomanOnARiver ok. Makes sense.
I believe the contents of venv/bin is different between the two OS. I would keep the two venvs separate.

Like .venvwin and .venvunix. development could be same. So one .git.

@vegdc oh wow. I didn't see it, but now I can't unsee it.

@RomanOnARiver do you have a file system that is available to more than one os? I guess a dual boot btw Linux and Windows?

2025-06-22

@RomanOnARiver I don't understand this question... "from interfering with each other?"

Unix and windows venv are uniquely different because os shell scripts to configure python between two is different.

@RomanOnARiver

Separate venv environments per os.

I'm hoping my ass is happy. I've heard that these take some time to break in.

@RosaCtrl I think I understand?

I learn programming languages faster if I type in all the damn examples by hand. It forces me to slow down and think it through.

If I don't think it through then I'm not going to know why it does something.

When I understand a language, sure i can have a robot write all the logging and CLI parsing for me.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️
