goldmar | 4 days ago | on: Show HN: OpenClaw Plugin for Claude Code and Codex Orchestration

For me plan mode and answering questions didn’t work great when I tried using Claude Code with OpenClaw out of the box. So I think that’s the main problem that this plugin solves. And getting proper notifications when something is done or needs a response.

Regarding delegate mode - if something requires attention/clarification, the agent will “block”. That’s just how the mechanism works in the underlying Claude Code and Codex harnesses. There is generally no “let’s continue working on everything else that can be done without answering the questions” mechanism. That would be great, I agree, but probably a feature that should be in Claude Code / Codex themselves rather than this plugin.

Hi, I'm Mark and I'm currently finishing my MSc degree in Computer Science with Business & Management. Being strongly addicted to coffee and elegant software architecture designs, I particularly enjoy developing in Scala. I'm interested in Backend Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Cryptocurrencies.

Thank you for this article. I have really enjoyed your writing style, especially the creative metaphors you're been using :)

> In any case, almost all warranty disclaimers start with "TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW"

Which is an invalid clause in Germany and probably most other European countries. Any clause that goes beyond the extent permitted by the applicable law is automatically void in Germany. This is due to consumer protection laws. Therefore, most of these EULAs are probably void if it ever comes to law suit...

I agree on the part that working with Scala and akka is enjoyable! :)

About being over-engineered... well, it is quite extensive for what it does but I'm not sure I agree with it being over-engineered...

I also found that it's a bit difficult to debug, since I often have request-response chains (like: get raw transaction (1) of an incoming transaction, get raw transaction (2) of the input, create a new transaction using the output of (2)...) and one chain of messages gets mixed up with another chain of messages. So it gets somewhat confusing in the logs. But I guess that's a common problem of event-driven programming...

Wow, nice to see you commenting here! btcd / btcwallet was an obvious choice since I wanted notification support. It's an impressive piece of work that you've created, and I really like the modular project design. At first I was worried that there was no documentation (yet) for btcwallet but the code is simple enough to understand even though I didn't know Go before.

btcctl is also really helpful. I only found out about it today though. Before that I've used curl and httpie and that was not very convenient.

goldmar | 12 years ago | on: PostgreSQL partitioning explained

Great introduction to partitions. I did not know how exactly they are used. And now I think that I do. Thank you!

What I noticed (some improvement suggestions):

1) "the planner could tell (using knowledge from the check constraint) that employees_1 was the only table it needed to look at."

Well, I think it still checks the parent table, right?

2) You could mention that it is possible to create a trigger function which inserts new data automatically into the correct child table (as described in your final link, here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/ddl-partitioning.h...).

I think it would be cool if PostgreSQL could create these trigger functions automatically based on the check constraints...

I'm also wondering why foreign key constraints are not inherited?

goldmar | 12 years ago | on: Update on Julie Horvath's Departure

I think that it's the way the PR statement is written that is 'clever'. By putting the founder on leave and banning his wife from the office they haven taken pro-active action (which was not mandatory). As has been noted, it might seem that they have admitted some wrong-doing when in fact they have not. But it's enough food for the media to drop the issue...
