long-time java dev and did a portion of my startup on dial-up. they've been hostile to any attempt to optimize for bandwidth for a very long time - i had elaborate hoops i jumped through to implement caching that should have been baked in to the tooling

this is just chickens coming home to roost

what VM/provisioning are you using ?

!remindme 500 years

everything can be a moving part if you use enough hydrogen and oxygen

do you run vscode in the container ? if so, can you share your config ?

i've been trying to do this with systemd-nspawn

there are dozens of us !

i'm on a mid-level laptop, at times with slow or expensive internet, running ubuntu. i want to be able to run nominally-isolated "copies" of my laptop at near-native speed

1. each one should have it's own network config, eg so i can use wireguard or a vpn

2. gui pass-through to the host, eg wayland, for trusted tools, eg firefox, zoom or citrix

3. needs to be lightweight. eg gnome-boxes is dead simple to setup and run and it works, but the resource usage was noticeably higher than native

4. optional - more security is better (ie, i might run semi-untrusted software in one of them, eg from a github repo or npm), but i'm not expecting miracles and accept that escape is possible

5. optional - sharing disk with the host via COW would be nice, so i'd only need to install the env-specific packages, not the full OS

i'm currently working on a podman solution, and i believe that it will work (but rebuilding seems to hammer the network - i'm hoping i can tweak the layers to reduce this). does microsandbox offer any advantages for this use case ?

any idea how the webapp is written ? eg, what libraries or framework is used

they're trying to demo low-latency so they more-or-less have to be aggressive with cutting you off. that said, i think they're using filler to buy themselves a second or 2 - try a yes-or-no question

  - me: solo dev or small team
  - you: microsoft, mongo, redis

one of us is being disingenuous, but i don't believe it's me (username on point ;)

i agree with both your examples being bad. for #2, they required one-sided CLAs while "open source". the alternative to signing the CLA was to fork, which is rarely well-received by the community, ie the same basic issue i raised

FLOSS is great in that it can facilitate collaboration and adoption, but at the expense of greatly limiting the business models. and even then context still matters - eg there's big difference between the kernel with 1000s of independent contributors, and mongo with one party holding CLA rights to the entire codebase (FLOSS in name only, i'd argue)

  - for me, what's ultimately important is that people are free and that people that do good work are rewarded
  - software licenses are just a tool to help us get there
  - non-FLOSS might enable much of that same good while scaling to more business models and software
  - they might ultimately be good for society, but getting the details right is hard
  - i'm no longer actively working on my own stuff, but my attempt was: https://github.com/db4j/pupl
  - note: if i was doing this today, the core limit would be much higher

try releasing something under an open-but-not-open-source license as a solo developer or small team. there's a lot of established developers (presumably earning high salaries) that will very vocally badmouth the license choice. i'd seen this happen over and over again eg here, and when i've asked other developers why they open sourced their products they've said the same, and it was one of my concerns when i approached launch

sadly, my market fit was so bad that nobody ever looked at the license ::karma::

note: i have no problem with someone choosing not to use a product with a license they don't like (i do the same). it's the dissing of others that would use it that potentially crosses the line. i'm not even saying it *is* theft, only that there's a valid argument to that effect

is there an existing SLM that resembles an LLM in architecture that includes the code for training it ?

i realize the cost and time to train may be prohibitive and that quality on general english might be very limited, but is the code itself available ?

if you're funny, it's generally easier to work the wood

can you trademark a verb ?
