- work on helix-cheat-sheet

- Double-Entry Ledgers: The Missing Primitive in Modern Software
- I would love to see such an primitive in database design, but I also doubt that if it could be helpful for realworld applications
- #agent
- Building Effective AI Agents
- supposedly the best practice
- see also From LLM to AI Agent: What's the Real Journey Behind AI System Development?
- LLMs pose an interesting problem for DSL designers
- "LLMs pose an interesting problem for the DSL designers – the opportunity cost for using niche languages is now substantially increasing, and so we, as language designers, will be held to a higher standard to justify the use of our DSLs"
- I think DSLs would clarify the intent in the domain, and reduce noise in code
- even embed DSLs in general programming language would be better than just plain code
- there should be a recipe for LLMs to quickly grasp the mindset of a DSL, instead of giving up on DSLs
- LLM Agents Are Breaking Your Platform, Not Your Architecture
- control the size of the mass introduced by agents
- Is there a Half-Life for the Success Rates of AI Agents? (on HN) (on lobste.rs)
- Libraries are under-used. LLMs make this problem worse
- Building agents using streaming SQL queries
- an interesting yet too traditional experiment
- Bots are overwhelming websites with their hunger for AI data

- #wayland
- Long live Xorg, I mean Xlibre
- It's true, “we” don't care about accessibility on Linux (on HN) (on lobste.rs)
- Wayland Is Growing Up. and Now We Don't Have a Choice (on HN) (on lobste.rs)
- Cosmoe: BeOS Class Library on top of Wayland
- The X Window System didn't immediately have X terminals
- Two weeks of wayback
- Please don't promote Wayland
- Wayback 0.1 released
- I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing

- Pragtical - The practical and pragmatic code editor
- built on SDL, C and Lua, low footprint
- forked from lite XL (which is forked from lite) to be more practical rather than minimalist
- #sec
- How keys are used in FileVault and encryption
- VEK (Volume Encryption Key) never leaves Secure Enclave, destroyed on "Erase All Content and Settings (EACAS)"
- wrapping: encrypting the VEK using a KEK (Key Encryption Key)
- user password can be changed without the contents of the protected volume having to be fully decrypted and encrypted again
- possible to generate multiple KEKs to support the use of recovery keys that can be used to unlock the VEK when the user’s password is lost or forgotten

- Transmitting data via ultrasound without any special equipment ()
- not security per se, but could be used to breach
- uses 18-20kHz (not real ultra sound (~50kHz))
- use WebAudio
- on HN and on lobste.rs, people mentioned that IoT use sound to do device paring, not necessarily ultra sound, so users could understand what's going on
