"jobs that are long-running might get rescued even if the producer is still alive" indicates otherwise. It suggests that jobs that are in progress may be double-scheduled. That's a feature that I think shouldn't be gated

Ooof. I don't mind the OSS/pro feature gate for the most part, but I really don't love that "Pro version uses smarter heartbeats to track producer liveness." There's a difference between QoL features and reliab

If you happen to nominate or vote on the Hugo Awards, you may have seen this turn up.

Self-hosting breezewiki -- even on the same machine that you browse from -- gets neatly around the way fandom wikis block the breezewiki public nodes. I've got it self-hosted and now I never see that damn fandom interface.

I've been doing this on my site for a couple of years: https://github.com/offbyone/ideas/blob/3f50f69494aca01f21aeb... It's pretty easy to do. I recommend it, if you already use Fedi for anything.

Well, this is delightful; the links that this tool finds now 403, and looking at the network inspector, it seems that the URLs are now signed in some way.

I was your opposite number at AWS for many years. Like you say, it was one of the best jobs I've ever had, but over there it was a career dead end. I wasn't laid off, but I had to leave it to have any hope of growing myself. I fee

If you want my cynical take, here's the real reason that Amazon and other big companies are all-in on RTO: the commercial real estate collapse that may (will?) happen if downtown office districts don't repopulate: https:/&#x

I had the distinct pleasure (?) of owning the C++, Python, and Java implementations of that config for a while and ... yeah, it had some positives, but the fact that it had two orthogonal hierarchies of configuration in addition to implemen

The article is interesting in general, but this line really needs more than "works like a charm": `usb_modeswitch -W -v 12d1 -p 14fe -K -P 14ac -M "55534243000000000000000000000011060000000000000000000000000000"` I mean,

I have been fortunate enough to land in a part of my employer's technical culture governed -- roughly -- by this sort of idea, albeit not one that's written down anywhere. The people in the Slack channels (IRC, back in the day, bu

Especially if it's the one I'm thinking of, too. It's a damn solid architecture.

I love build tools, and work with them professionally, and this tool seems to be getting one thing quite right: it is not injecting itself into the dependency resolution process. Where I see build tooling fall down is where they try to repl

That's going to be true to some extent of every library your company uses, but for every library someone writes and offers as FOSS, you don't have to spend the cycles designing, developing, and maintaining your own, nor training n

Apropos of nothing related, I want to know: What, exactly, were you confident yet wrong about in regards to bay leaves?

Huh. At this point I'm quite curious if I know you.

I'm not sure I agree; Poettering isn't being harsh to his collaborators, here. He's protecting them against the implicit accusation of a hostile community member. I'd be _more_, not less likely to want to work on a proje

Yeah... BT is still pretty great. Good leaders for the most part, and the opportunity to have huge positive effects on many fronts.

Getting 3.x to work with mcpi is actually super easy; the library works nearly out of the box, and the code is basically the same as far as I can tell.

That article misses the key point; a MITM proxy for mail is the actual problem, no matter how well implemented it is.

Because depending on the policies of your workplace, GPLv3 may be blacklisted; the nature of that license makes its use in certain classes of business very, very dangerous.
