To be honest, just a user here, it’s only recently (like a week?) you can ask Copilot to edit an existing PR, historically it’s had to open a new one (that merged back to original PR) or it had to make it to begin with, I can see this unin

I think you’d find Dr. Richard Scolyer’s story really relatable. He’s an Australian cancer expert who, along with his colleague, is using himself as "patient zero" for a world-first treatment for his own brain cancer. They’re basi

Yes, moved to GitHub Codespaces and generally has been good. Pros: one click setup for devs jumping between projects after you get the devcontainer setup process working, takes some fiddling, trial and error. Has felt good for some older pr

GitLab's write-up mentions a dead man's switch where "The malware continuously monitors its access to GitHub (for exfiltration) and npm (for propagation). If an infected system loses access to both channels simultaneously, it

Neat! How do you handle state changes during tests, for example, in a todo app the agents are (likely) working on the same account in parallel or even as a subsequent run, some test data has been left behind or now data is not perhaps setup

I gave the demo a try and was able to run a search that showed "51 results" - great start! A few things I noticed though: On the Data tab it says "no schema defined yet." The Schema tab doesn’t seem to have a way to crea

Note you need to also raise the configuration limit of max upload to 200mb after the plan change in settings.

Some of the slowdown will come from not indexing the FK columns themselves, as they need to be searched during updates / deletes to check the constraints.

Project looks interesting, would welcome seeing an API (or c# client) to be able to use it.

Unfortunately it seems the underlying search API is throwing '{ "message": "Not Ready or Lagging"}' for every search

Neat, I noticed it gave me wrong data though, and when I asked for the top 3 rows it provided the wrong value, due to not using UTF8 - Asking ChatGPT to use utf8 support fixed it, perhaps update it's prompt. Check out https:/&#x2

You can download Google Maps offline while on WiFi and later access maps without Internet (or to avoid roaming charges).

Worth noting the difference between an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) that is HTTP request aware, and Network Load Balancer (NLB) which is not, when load balancing HTTP traffic. AWS ALB (and others I'm sure) can balance by "L

I’m not a target user, but you mentioned the tagging problem and git integration, perhaps you could infer at least the git user responsible for each resource cost (git blame the TF file and identify the username who added the resource) as a

A technique I've used before is to treat Elasticsearch as rebuildable at any time, consider this approach: A cron runs every 5 minutes that looks at your database for any objects you're indexing where last_modified_at timestamp &g

Hard to reverse actions need multiple safety switches, for example, turning off the machines in that region for 2 weeks before deleting them, which would bring support issues to attention ahead of the no-going-back step of deleting data.

I’ve had to triage Cloudflare connectivity issues before, if you have a timestamp or when the error appears you can ask CF support to check backend logs for the error reason

Thanks for sharing! Would it help to replace Corrosion with a simpler "Here's my local known state" blob that is POST'd to blob storage (for example) on a major cloud provider, and have another service read that at inter

+1 to providing SSO to smaller plans, hard requirement for me. I manage small teams and it would be a requirement for us, and if pricing for a few users is $14/month, normally enterprise is higher than that and an annual commitment, bu

To add to this, you can put destructive operations like this into phases, for example, before delete, a power off of the service has to happen, and the delete logic won’t run if the power off time hasn’t elapsed 7 days, etc. These safety la

Run Tailscale on your server, bind the ssh port to the Tailscale local address only, then you can just logon to Tailscale to access SSH, no longer publicly accessible.

Unique constraints work as long as the partition key is included in the constraint (which makes sense, so a table knows it’s the only partition for a value and checks it’s unique index).

I've used many note taking apps (VS Code extensions for todo lists, Trello, plain text files, OneNote, etc) and this is nice, a few thoughts: 1) Was there a keyboard shortcut for starting/stopping a timer and marking a task done?
