Yeah, I found it very interesting how McCullough (Masters of Rome) idolizes Caesar and holds Cicero in contempt, and Harris is exactly the opposite.

AM/PM is bad, but I have a GE microwave which requires you to also set _the date_ when you're setting the clock. How could somebody think that was a good idea? :)

Packages had an incident two days ago, also: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/sn4m3hkqr4vz . I noticed it when a Terraform provider download was failing, citing a 404 from objects.githubusercontent.com.

Yes, there are threshold cryptography schemes with "distributed key generation" [1] in which the parties end up holding shares but the full secret is never known to any party. Then, to your point about "the only time they key

If I've already reviewed a PR and the author makes further changes, I definitely prefer to review an add-on commit. If the history is rewritten/rebased, then IME the entire PR needs to be re-reviewed from scratch. If we're ta

I'm a big fan of using containers to distribute and run tools. It's an underappreciated use case. I wrote about its benefits (and drawbacks) a few months ago: https://jonathan.bergknoff.com/journal/run-more-st

I recently got an external monitor for my work Macbook. I plugged it in and soon found out that closing the laptop doesn't put it to sleep anymore. I can kind of see why somebody would want this behavior in some situations. I can'

Great work on the book, and thank you for writing about the self-publishing process [1]. I'm in the process of writing a book, and your writing has addressed several things that have been on my mind. [1] Especially https://w

Hi, I'm the author. Thanks for taking a look. This is basically a tool to help manage a "Dockerfile" repo (along the lines of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles ), where you build any tools you want

Yeah, I'm seeing the same. The branch reflects the new commit, but the PR open for that branch does not show it.

On the contrary: Docker is currently the best way, bar none, of distributing tools like this one to developers. Kudos to the Super Linter developers for doing this right. I wrote an article a while ago arguing this point: https:/&#x2F

Indeed. I went through it all about three years ago and learned a ton (starting from essentially "I have a table saw but I don't know what the miter slots are for"). For people interested in this stuff who haven't seen

Many great examples here, and my wife and I do many of the same things, but it's not always this easy. If your child is receptive to these things, like the children in the article, that's great. Our younger one is receptive and ou

In other words, it becomes the concern of the person shipping the code, rather than the concern of the person trying to run the code. That's exactly how it should be.

I have a really hard time parsing `unless`. Whenever I encounter it in Ruby or CoffeeScript code, it takes me 10-30 seconds to stop and understand what's happening with the code. Generally, postfix conditionals are a bad idea because t

If I create a file in my project named requests.py, then a sibling file's `import requests` starts importing that file, instead of the library. Maybe name conflicts are "basically fixed" in the sense that there are ways to av

This is amazing! I'd be interested in more details about capturing the IR signal, both by the invasive method and the "operate an LED in reverse" method. At one point I thought about trying to do something similar with my old

I think anything that treats paths on disks/library names as string literals would be workable. So, for instance, the stuff from the importlib standard library would probably be good enough if it was a top level/global construct t
