I remember being so excited about Cloudflare's releases that I'd check their blog every couple of weeks for what new thing they were cooking up. This was before I actually had to use them to serve production clients. When it came

This thread is about a nine hour outage in the middle of the east coast workday for Github Actions.

Except when Github’s down, of course. I’m saying it’s incomprehensible to me that people would rather put their trust into an organization as enshittified as Microsoft where they get their codebases added to an AI, have an awful experience

Why? Like I wrote in a separate comment, it's not a mail server, it's a Postgres database, a Golang app, and backups (and some providers will just handle that for you!)

Except it's not down more often and it's not a heavy lift. It's not a mail server, it's a Postgres database, a Golang app, and backups (and some providers will just handle that for you!).

I've never understood this argument. Even if self-hosted things were offline more often (which I've never found to be the case, I've had Forgejo + runners running for a year now with no downtime), the real benefit is that y

While you're 100% correct, I'm not holding my breath on that remaining infrastructure being available anytime soon. I was expecting, at the very least, to see Apple make their App Store 18+ checks available to developers at WWDC t

It's probably very obvious by now, but there's something to be said about companies with the "SF Quirky" vibes: - The OS Redesign - "Sexy Legal Documents" - Emails with "<relevant hedgehog meme goes her

Agreed. While I don't entirely care enough to rip it out of any existing products, I certainly won't be adding it to any new ones. I remember people cheering about their "OS" web redesign, which was the most confusing an

What's most surprising to me is that this is coming from a company that directly markets towards hackers and makers. Like when you think of the App/Play store lockdowns, the new ReCaptcha attestation stuff, and other things that h

With all of the discourse around hardware attestation, digital ID, and age verification in recent weeks/months, is there actually any good solution to the problems these existing tools (Privacy Pass, WEI, Fraud Defense, uploading IDs)

It's been a while, but from what I remember you need that extension for any highlighting at all, and that screenshot is with it installed. Also, if I recall, it's something about that extension using an outdated treesitter parser

I'm extremely glad to see something like this. I've tried to use Zed so many times, and this might sound neurotic -- but there are just so many little theming things that make a difference to me. For example, https://im

I'm failing to see why they didn't just adopt Private Access Tokens (not that they're great either), where they could have at least: - pretended that it wasn't all about invading peoples' privacy. - done a good ol&#

I remember when I was in high school (2016? 2017?), I found a super simple XSS in the assignment submission form and told the programming teacher. Canvas then proceeded to lock my account and got me my first (only?) detention. Good times.

God I hope that's included. As silly as it sounds, having NFC inside passes require a custom entitlement/approval from Apple was my breaking point for ditching iOS development altogether. The form for requesting said entitlement w
