Good luck migrating the ”forge” part with the ”git” part. Your github org settings, pull requests, rulesets, CI/CD pipelines, containers, copilot... The lock-in always comes from the ”forge” part, never the ”git” part.

The pyrovalerones are basically the fentanyl of meth. More potent, shorter lasting, more dangerous.

Amiibo and Skylanders detect the pieces with NFC. Wiring up the whole board/ terrain with NFC readers would probably be difficult, though.

As someone who went to work for a commercial software consultancy company early in my career, I am looking to follow in your footsteps. In consultancy, projects are over for me when my work is done. Rarely do I get to see the results. I wan

I would be surprised if we ever got evidence against the broken windows theory, simply due to crime in general being a (wicked problem)[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem ].

You need to use the features that Claude Code gives you in order to be successful with it. Your build and tests should be in a Stop hook that prevent Claude from stopping if the build or tests fail. Combining this with a Stop hook that bail

I'm not an astronomer, but my intuition is this: When the source of the light is moving towards the observer, each successive photon emission happens from a position closer to the observer than the previous photon. Hence, from the obse

This idea you’ve presented is immediately visible all around when you know to look for it. The failure case I see most often is when this thinking is applied to some kind of a wicked problem. 1. The problem is not understood until after the

How come a fully typed ORM is the devil, if we agree we want a typesafe codebase for our mixed experience dev team? I have had positive experiences with Prisma. It just works.

Worse than not trying is trying and experiencing burnout and/or destitution. When you fail, it can be due to many things. Not everything in the world is controllable. This is one of the reasons why expecting zero ”What ifs” at the end

Only with hardware acceleration turned off. Which in my experience causes a stuttery and laggy experience which can hardly be described as "smooth". If you really want to use MacOS's smooth scrolling, use MOS ( https:/&#

It's fine in my experience. I use Synergy 1 and I turn off smooth scrolling on my laptops and desktops. I find it more distracting that some apps support smooth scrolling and some don't, so I just turn it off altogether. Togethe

4 years ago I was 100kg @ 185cm. Never touched PEDs. All it took was being in the gym going all out for around 2 hours, 6 days a week. My body fat was 13% consistently. I tried going below 13% until it started to affect my strength. The res

Everyone hates hearing this one: Documentation, documentation, documentation. Programming is a social task. Therefore, everything else related to software development best practices branches off from that.

MyBB PHP forums have a web interface through which one can download the database as a single .sql file. It will most likely be a mess, depending on the addons that were installed on the forum.

You’re able to aggregate all logs from control plane (all events?), firewall/ ingress, Storage, Autoscaler , CNI, operating system, audit events?

”If you don’t love your logging system, proactively fix that problem.” Really, you have a ”one-system” where you can see _ALL_ the logs? I don’t believe that. This whole software thing is abstractions everywhere, and we are probably using s

This is why we need labor unions. The power dynamics are almost universally stacked in favor of the employer. Unions can equalize this to an extent. You will still be disposable, but at least you will get better terms if you end up getting

I think you're right. In fact, that's the stack I would recommend right now to a new (web) app developer. Write your own Dockerfile, some terraform to spin up a docker host on DO, and a bit of GH Actions yml to pass secrets, build

You’re absolutely right. In fact, some billion dollar megacorps use fuses as a part of hardware DRM for this reason.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you consider large size? Did you have issues with Vault specifically? In my experience Terraform is the troublesome Hashicorp tool, not Vault.

Great point. In my opinion it is possible and maybe even ideal to do both: make it easy for anyone to run their own service while also running your own service so that users have the option to not have to manage the data, patching and ops s

I have a lot of ear protrusion, which is even more notable due to my large ears. Having seen old pictures of my great grandfather last weekend, it seems clear whose genes for large protruded ears I inherited.
