I’ve been using Deno’s permission system as a sandboxed replacement for ‘python -c’ for my agents. Hopefully a better supported runtime (in any language) adds a similar permissions system in the near future.
I wonder if xyz.com is simply requesting TLDs based on domains their users enter, so cmo and con come from their users’ typos rather than malicious intent. It would be similar to how some registrars park domains when a user checks if a domain is available.
This is all a guesstimate, but my gut feel is that a considerable part of the HN population doesn't even read the linked content, only the comment section here.
With github being the exception, I use comments to see if the article is AI. If it is, I prefer the condensed opinions in the comments. Not to say it can't be interesting I just don't want to waste time reading overly verbose generated text.
Scratch is probably the most used programming language with hot reloading, allowed for by its persistent global state.
Web development supports hot reloading modules, but this is effectively just dynamic imports and relies on the app being written for a library/framework that encourages pure code; it doesn’t kill the old module.
I added a wrapper script around Deno to my agent’s allowlist to take advantage of its permissions system, and instructed it to use Deno instead of Python or bash commands. It’s worked pretty well.
Is that a contradiction? Adding list and arrays doesn't break backwards compatibility. In general, guaranteeing backwards compatibility doesn't prevent you from adding new features, and having both old quirks and new features is fairly common for any decently old software
