Admitting my hubris (and unconstrained TextFields and CharFields) craiga.id.au/2026/03/13/textfi

Admitting my hubris (and unconstrained TextFields and CharFields)

This post went in a different direction than I thought it would. I was going to write that given a CharField is always limited by its maximum length, so why not always use the TextField, which has unlimited length?

Optimizing Content for Agents

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Optimizing Content for Agents

There is a lot of bad discourse around whether we should optimize content for agents at all, and most of it misses the point. We already shape content for humans, and agents are no different. At Sentry we've started treating this as a real interface problem: serving markdown instead of HTML, restructuring content around hierarchy, and giving agents direct paths to the tools and systems they actually need.

The @nixos_orgNixOS integration tests have always been a fantastic tool - We just made them even faster and much simpler to run! 🚀 By adding a new lightweight container backend to the test driver, you can now run your suites on standard, non-KVM VMs. 👇

Here is what the new container backend brings to your NixOS workflow:

⚡ Blazing Fast Execution: How fast? Booting two machines, letting them ping each other, and tearing them down now takes ~3 seconds!
💸 Run Anywhere (Cheaper!): You no longer need bare-metal KVM-enabled hosts. Your tests can now run seamlessly on cheap, standard VMs.
🎮 GPU Testing Support: Hardware acceleration is now accessible. You can finally test GPU-dependent workloads directly inside your integration tests!

Curious how it works under the hood and how to enable it in your projects? Dive into our latest article and try it out for yourself!

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.
