You may at least want to take a look at vdirsyncer[0]. Assuming all of your sources run CalDAV that you can hit than you can at least extract the events. I use it for backup for a calendar of my own (so I don't know what I would use to

and if rsync doesn't quite work for what you need/a target you want to use, rclone is always an option as well https://rclone.org/

Especially if you witness it as an employee and run it up the chain as far as possible and it gets ignored. Having had good and bad in my career has saved me from realizing that this was happening and that I shouldn't sit idle but if I

Disagree, I was the not in the "in crowd" with my boss at a previous location and yet I was the person (as suggested) in regards to everything backend related.

This is very true. I'd see this in software I worked on integrating ERPs where we'd have support for like 5-10 custom fields. The best workflows were those were the custom fields were used and just had a nice label (e.g. "Old

I'd forgotten all about interop with DCOM until just now! Several years ago (when I last had to do it) I recall having to horribly mess with services on my local machine just to get anything to appear to work...let alone actually knowi

I've also started experiencing that even though all actions are cleared and I can navigate away that sometimes those actions "didn't take" and I'd be cleaning up emails for the N-th time.

It's hard for people to have recall over events and (again not always malicious) what one person may consider a "big deal" to have done (or not done) will influence whether they remember and how they remember it. I've be

Yeah there is definitely annoyance, overhead, and expense but you are trying to securely transfer data to an air-gapped network so just "plugging things in" (what some people expect, like just grabbing a usb drive) is a risk in th

the '-C' option to let me do git operations without being in that directory is vastly helpful when I go to script against a variety of git repositories (--git-dir is pretty nice too, I just don't often have a use for it)

This is generally the same experience I have had. I'll even talk through the assumptions (e.g. "Can we assume I know how to do argument checking?") and then after I've done the heavy-lifting of the problem-solving I&#x27

This makes sense and I agree. You will learn some about the domains you write software in but often you are in those by force and not by choice and you will only ever be so interested in the problems you face/software you build. I once

I understand your point but the problem is that the title is "Arch Linux AUR Repository Found to Contain Malware" (and not, for example: "AUR Repository Found to Contain Malware"). I would argue that the implication (I g

One of the problem I see with helpers is that a lot of them start to wrap the whole user's package handling experience (pacman wrapping) where it seems like it would be easy to ignore the prompts and "just download the package alr

Or just delete the source safe files from the share and have everybody in a panic (this happened where I worked in ~2010 for some legacy apps still in source safe...it was an untrained user trying to undo a change).

I can understand this. If I had to pick a marketable/future employment language today, I would pick C# over D (I have used both).

I was surprised (years ago) when I learned about SOUNDEX() in Microsoft SQL Server. I always wondered why SOUNDEX was in SQL Server (not that I thought it shouldn't be, was just curious).

This would be great...but it seems more likely that what happens if a forcing function is applied is that anything in the current gray area (gray area is putting it nicely) of using the DoD Root CA will likely just become not publicly acces

This was pretty much true when I was last using C#. You would find specific places where you need "an object" (e.g. maybe you want to LINQ over some data in a method) so you could dynamically create it but if you wanted that objec

I can understand this rationale technically, when I was using skype (at work) ~8years ago we would have some real problems and a lot of it was attributed to "SuperNodes" if you dug deep down far enough. Chat and group chats at the

As an avid fan and (previous) user of C#, the thing I struggled with was everything moving to Nuget...everything. It felt very much like Nuget was an attempted solution to DLL hell but it was just another version of that same hell itself bu
