I occasionally ponder on how frustrating it is that the deceased don't get to hear their eulogies. It would have been amazing for Bram to have been able to experience all the outpouring of support and love from people he is interacted

If you click through to the Project Zero blogspot it says the Mar 2023 security update fixes the issue for the Pixel devices. My Pixel 7 didn't show an update was available (last checked 30 minutes ago) but when I manually checked it f

I've watched those videos, and they're always super upfront with "this video was sponsored by the Gates foundation." I don't see a problem here.

RDS Proxy is very specific with which versions it supports. If it says it doesn't support it, it doesn't support it. Postgres 14 is supposed to have built-in connection pooling. If you're on it, do you still feel the need for

Congrats on launching! How mature is this? We have a 20 person team and we're prototyping different pipelines for our next CI/CD pipeline (currently Heroku). Is this ready for production workloads?

I wrote a "smart" random clicker. It iterates through all the shapes and clicks their locations in a double-for loop. I added some jitter because it can't tell when it succeeds (so sometimes it starts in the "middle&quot

I agree with this take. I've used a Freestyle 2 for years and _loved_ it. I tried the Advantage 2 and it gave me headaches -- I couldn't deal with the keys being in different spots. Switched back to Freestyle 2 and I couldn't

@jpgrayson (since I see you lurking around here) Thanks for maintaining stgit! I've been a recent convert and it's a great workflow improvement. I used to be a big `git rebase -i` user and stgit works so much more fluidly and fits

I don't believe that a system reboot is a symptom of this issue, just app crashes. Also, the bug started yesterday afternoon. I doubt this has anything to do with your system reboots.

I'm a huge fan of tig. It maps really well to my way of thinking about git repos and it is super quick way to see the graph of everything that's going on. In the Top 5 of command line tools for me.
