It feels like the age of AI has made take home coding exercises obsolete. I still have not found a good replacement.

You would be surprised by how many infrastructures have software running without any container :) I'm running FreeBSD on my servers so containers are out, but even if I was Linux, why would I use containers for base services?

Yes, it can be compiled and packaged so that I can one day install it as any other package, in my case on FreeBSD. And of course it's not just about avoid recompilation, there are a lot of features I want to add.

This space may be well established, but it still does not fullfill all needs. For my own: - NGINX does not support ACME, and I'm fed up with dealing with Lego and other external ACME clients. Also the interactions between locations has

Microsoft Entra having first class support for OIDC really helps; I remember seeing a decision diagram in their documentation recommending using OIDC for new projects, it can help negotiating. Google Workspace also works just fine with OIDC

OWASP recommendations for Argon2id are 19MiB memory, iterations 2, parallelism 1. And following OWASP is not only a good idea for security but also makes it easy to justify with IT security, compliance, etc.

Could you distribute it? I'm not a huge fan of ASDF complexity and have had many headaches trying to make some custom components work. I would welcome any simple alternative, even though I will probably end up writing my own.

In technical organizations (all organizations really), simplicity is also a hard sell: you need people in charge with the ability to say "no" to a lot of ideas. And no one wants to be on the receiving end of a "no". Thos

The text of this act treat them the same way unless I'm missing something (feel free to point me the text saying otherwise). A sane legal text would put in place thresholds with different levels of expectations and liability depending

In kitchens as in plumbings: - There are rules, and clear established practices that allow you to follow these rules. In software the rabbit hole goes so deep that your average developer cannot even be aware of all the risks. - You do not h

Correct. I would be perfectly fine with some amount of control and liability proportional to the size of the company, excluding tiny ones as it is often the case. With this new act, even selling 100€/month of support for a piece of sof

It seems the author is refering to the EU Cybersecurity Act that should be voted early 2024. The last draft clearly excludes open source software as long as there is no commercial activity associated . If voted in this state, it won't

I might be missing something, but the appeal of gradual typing to me is that I can mostly type functions, providing safe input/output boundaries, and avoid having to type every single variable (unless I have to do so for performance re

The trick with online platforms is to edit messages, replacing the content with a random string (this script supports both ".", a random string or a fixed string of your choosing). Most web apps will keep a copy of messages you de

Wait it's integrated with SystemD? What is a package management system doing with the init process? I now remember that Guix is a daemon, something that made me really wary at the time; but a SystemdD dependency is something else entir

This is the only reason I haven't tried to use Guix. I love the concept, I want to use it, but it does not run on FreeBSD. And I would not invest time in a packaging system that works on my workstation but not on my servers. It is sad

The most surprising aspect of REDUCE is the way the callback can be called depending on both the length of the list and the presence of absence of an initial value.

I don't know about Outlook and others, but you can still use any client you want, both for IMAP and SMTP access, using application passwords[1]. I have been doing that for years, both for Gmail and Google Workspace, without any issue.

My understanding is that the budget required to build a game perceived as "modern" is higher and higher each year, meaning that studios need to target a very large market to be profitable. This is for example why we don't see

I'm unsatisfied with the current situation too, but it's a hard problem. You can either go full container (which means no BSD, and having to deal with Docker or Kubernetes and all the associated woes), or fallback to native packag
