Static analyzers like https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor can help find such misconfiguration. It is however unfortunate, that such footguns aren't harder to fire.

Making it solely about the extraction of dollars is a great recipe to make something mediocre. See Hollywood or Microslop. Its like min-maxing a Diablo build where you want the quality of the product to be _just_ above the "acceptable&

It looks interesting but no source availability is a red flag for me.

Best performing by what metric? There aren't meaningful ways to measure engineer "performance" that makes them comparable as far as I know.

I think its cool that more people are building what I call "calm tech". More technology should try to serve a purpose quickly and then get out of the way instead of trying to artificially stay on your screen as long as possible. I

I habe a "Pocketbook Verse Pro" that runs Linux. No need to root, you can copy ARM executables to the SD card and run them (that's how I use Syncthing on it). KOReader also works on it.

Speaking of passkeys, could they be used to authenticate to a local application - say for unlocking a password vault (perhaps through a Yubikey)?

I built my own reader because I didn't want unread items to accumulate. It just shows what was published the last X days. The result is that there is no need for persistent storage, so its real easy to host. If you're interested,

Elixir has OpenTelemetry bindings which integrate into most of these platforms. At work, we use DataDog.

True. There is inter-op with both Elixir and Erlang, but thsts like early TypeScript. If you're at all interested, I'd suggest doing the basic and OTP tutorials on the Elixir Website. Takes about two hours. Seeing what's incl

I wonder why though. Aren't both of these things facts? I think you can justify using them anyways - which is what I'd be interested to talk about.

We look at K8s more like "the Cloud Operating System". Many of its capabilities are more valuable for other runtimes, but that doesn't mean that Elixir is a bad fit with it. For example, the Erlang VM clustering can make use

It is alleviated quite a bit bz its pattern matching capabilities combined with the "let it crash" ethos. They have a success typing system (which isn't very good) and are working on a fuller system (which isn't very mat

I found the config a lot nicer. It was very easy to custimze to my (very minimal) liking. The config is easily readable. And its portable to any supported shell. Most shells can probably do everything this can as well and if you're alr

I see where you're coming from with that take and I don't necessarily disagree - if these models where owned by "the people". With the situation as it is right now, you're only contributing to some tech oligarchs ab

I habe a virtual layer on my keyboard that contains all symbols I need regularly. Holding down a specific key (that is simple to reach) toggles the layer - like the normal Shift key.

If you have or can make the time, some side projects can go a long way. Mainly to find out what you are actually interested in. I usually give myself some guard rails as to not spend too much time one one thing (perhaps say a month) and the

While I run and love litestream on my own system, I also like that they have a pretty comprehensive guide on how to do something like this manually, via built-in tools: https://litestream.io/alternatives/cron/

How about a CSV import? My banks all have an option to export transactions to a CSV file. You would need an import tool to create the mapping though.

True, but your example is very targeted at a specific page. With local storage, you can have a simple short function that works everywhere and just sends everything back to your server. No need to specialize, works everywhere.

To expand on the "not as secure" comment: local storage is accessible to every JS that runs in the context of the page. This includes anything loaded into the page via <script src=""/> like tracking or cookie

Elixir and Phoenix/Ecto is much superior to Rails IMO. My main gripe with Rails are conventions everywhere which aren't documented clearly. You just have to know them/learn them over time/from guides. It makes refactorin
