My information might be old. I haven’t worked on a Windows application in 5+ years. At that point you couldn’t.

On Windows it isn't possible to remove or rename files and directories that are being used. In order to handle this, you typically have to run some sort of helper application outside of the installation directory. This renames the exis

I find this appeal to find something other than a “doom” view bizarre. It’s a catastrophe. Do people expect to find some version of this story that ends with “but we can solve this with a minimally impactful solution that doesn’t cost you o

I mean my intention was to go pure, hence finding the Docker IPv6 registry and doing the IPv6 stuff with the bridge interface. My hope is folks know of workarounds and I’ll do them and update the post.

Backporting packages is a time-consuming process that actually requires skill. It is insane to expect people to do that for free on a volunteer basis because it makes your situation easier, especially as backporting gets harder the longer y

Glad they laid off all those employees to get ready for the lean economic times.

Alpine’s use of musl means only the truly insane would be leaping to its defense. The inability to support DNS over TCP was a problem for years. Outside of that, so many things presuppose glibc. It’s an endless source of weird. It doesn’t m

I’ve never read an author who liked his own writing as much as this fellow. I had a couple of issues with it. - You have to accept that the concept of “the left” is in deep trouble and the root of this trouble is that it has a strict defini

Typically chatbots that I interact with are just attempting to steer me back towards FAQs. I don’t need a different interface to search your documentation in an attempt to keep me on the cheap customer service path and away from the expensi

https://matduggan.com/ I love to write this stuff. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. It’s still a lot of fun to do.

Love mine. Works great, just swapped the joysticks out for Hall effect ones with zero drift (but higher power usage). It’s the Nintendo switch if it was designed by people who understood how accounts worked in 2023.

It’s a solvable problem if you optimize for multiple regions from day 1 of the app but migrating an existing stack to multi-region after the fact is often a large enough undertaking that you pick the region of the majority of users and go w

Google owns Waze because Waze was the hot driving app for a long time. It provided information like up to minute data on crashes, speed traps, would suggest more aggressive alternative routes than Google Maps. It was a superior product for

Why would I thank Zeus for that? I’m supposed to be happy that being insanely rich and powerful isn’t enough for these people? They’re in the Arena of Capitalism fighting. Of course that’s kinda the lie right? They can’t lose. It’s a fixed

I mean this is why the phrase “regulations are written in blood” exists. People are not able to remain moral when faced with the debate between revenue and doing what’s best for human beings. You have to force them to do it (and they’ll com

I’m not doing them wrong. They’re a user hostile design. The point of TOTP was just to say “here is an actually good password and a time element to it”. But expecting every user on the planet to carry their TOTP app around was wrong so imme

Yeah sorry I should have been more clear. Currently the ARM instances in GCP when you use them as spot basically never get interrupted. We’re big into GKE so use them as a preferred node group for interruptible pods. I assume due to the pr

Reddit cannot go public. Its product is volunteer work by moderators and users to produce value. There’s no way to take that work and guarantee its delivery on a quarterly cycle. This is all a ridiculous self-delusion that Reddit management

It was a super weird piece. I find it bizarre that defrauding investors is constantly mentioned as the crime we’re supposed to care about. While I understand that was the conviction, the real crime that people should be angry about is how f

I guess Uber gave up on their own autonomous vehicles. Interesting that it seems like Waymo who took the most cautious approach seems to be the last real contender standing.

Crazy how cutting over 10% of the workforce didn’t increase uptime. I guess as long as investors are happy in the short term who cares about the reputation of GitHub as a business critical tool generating reliable monthly income.

It's seen as a gift because employees have come to treat it as a perk. There's isn't a good negotiation reason for an employer to treat it as a default because they can use it as leverage to get less salary from you in return
