codex has an option to expose itself as an MCP. You can also use something like OpenCodex to bring Anthropic models into Codex as any other selectable model.

The reason I did it the way I did was so that I can still use the codex and claude code subscriptions vs paying the API cost. Can you do that via OpenCode?

I'm using OpenCodex as a backend provider with Codex as the front-end, with the $200/mo ChatGPT subscription. Not OpenCode!

You can install a different keyboard if you want. I used 3rd party swiping keyboards but ended up using the system one for the last few years because it doesn't bother me.

I tried SwiftKey but decided it was worse

My employer Notion offers an MCP that’s mentioned in a few posts here.

Notion’s monorepo has 16+ MCP configs with many in opt-in plugins developers choose to activate.

Very useful; i particularly like sending an agent to debug an alert across slack/honeycomb/incident.io/materialize db

what was the Nix schism? Did something like systemd happen? or like, Determinate/commercial vs Not? Or more like USA culture wars / code-of-conduct flamers (i vaguely recall some drama around a conference sponsor)?

anyways, i hope there’s a path to some kind of redemption and reconciliation in the future for the community. it sounds like it’s been Bad for years at this point.


The creator of Nix soft-forked it and started a company, that sort of inevitably leads to bad vibes I think


Can’t say I blame him, given the tone of some of the convos on the discourse site.


The fork occured before most of the drama.


maybe wait until you have something to share before Show HN? overall your work seems like a cool thing that i’d like to look at in a few months once there’s more substantial education stuff to read about it.


Your README and docs don’t describe any of the interesting or unique things here. You cover `if` in README but not choreographic programming or perceus. Did i miss some big link?

Where’s the cool stuff?


you did read RESEARCH.md didn't you? :)


i poked around in there, under choreographic programming there’s one example of something not in the language as a discarded idea.

if you claim X and Y make us cool and different, then you should document X and Y in your readme. don’t tell me something is the star, and then hide it away. this is baffling to me.


its speaking of discarded syntax for choreo, not that the feature was discarded


Still there's not a single example.


Why would they? The only thing the readme says about RESEARCH.md is "if you want to contribute to the language please read RESEARCH.md". The OP doesn't want to contribute, they want to see an example of choreographic programming. This shouldn't be hard. What is hard is guessing which of the random markdown documents to click to find an example.


GitHub hides RESEARCH.md for my convenience. I have to click "Show All Files" to see that it even exists.


sure, but s3 is far easier to buy and also far more reliable than typical distributed systems coordinator stuff like etcd/zookeeper/consul. every major cloud offers it, and there’s several decent open source options.


I haven't deep-dived into celld. Does it requires s3's strong consistency to be correct? or is any s3 api compatible object storage sufficient even if they lack strong consistency guarantee?


it’s relying on consistency w conditional writes


> cloudflare

the stuff is great when it works but Durable Objects can be quite expensive. whenever i get too excited about em all it takes is a little time trying to price it out to calm me down.

> do i need to buy bare metal

my first idea would be to run celld on AWS Kubernetes deployed to local zones https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/auto-local-...

it’s not “region: earth” like cloudflare but perhaps worth the trade off.


spinning up multiple eks clusters is ridiculously expensive by comparison to paying for durable objects on demand.


it’s all relative and it really depends on your scale. if your usage fits in the included compute and request count you get for $60/yr it’s absolutely gonna be cheaper. on the other hand, you can run EKS clusters in usw2, use2, apne1, apne2, euc1 for $8600/yr based on my napkin math. to me that does not sound expensive, i work at a company where $8600 is pocket change. but $8600 is much larger than $60/yr for region: earth.


what is the difference between celld and Cloudflare Workers open source version workerd?

https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd


workerd is missing the scheduler - the thing that allows it to operate across nodes. Durable Object storage are just local sqlite databases.

celld is the full distributed system (albeit single tenant). It distributes DOs (cells) across any number of VMs. The databases for each DO are in object storage with RPO=0 guarantee.


You beat us to it! Been meaning to land this but got distracted.

https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/pull/6780

But honestly I love that there are multiple implementations now.


bummer this expects NFS; this is all a brand new implementation vs what Cloudflare runs internally in production for DOs? I can’t imagine all your workerds share a single global NFS… What would a more realistic workerd with DO support look like?

ah well, we have celld!


Honestly, you wouldn't want to run our internal implementation -- it's far too complicated. Unless you have 100+ datacenters around the world -- then maybe.

The goal of this new design is to scale to a cluster while being operationally very easy to set up. Ideal for self-hosting.

NFSv4 is an easy first step, convenient because it's broadly understood, has many implementations, and requires no client libraries. I could imagine a follow-up to support LiteFS instead of NFS could make a lot of sense, though it'll get more complicated.

But yes, celld is definitely ahead of us here. No doubt about that.


This just makes me curious, what does the internal implementation actually look like?

I've always wondered what it is Cloudflare does to make DO's work but this specific thing doesn't seem explained anywhere


ZeroFS might help here to put the actual storage on an S3 compatible object store? https://github.com/Barre/zerofs


The ZeroFS readme says

     Dual-licensed under the GNU AGPL v3 (fully featured, for open source use)
     and a commercial license.
but the commercial license link https://www.zerofs.net/licensing is a 404 page


my interest in s3 is for how easy it is - just need HTTP. mounting a filesystem and worrying about filesystem level locks is more complicated.
