I personally have a PR ready to go which adds documentation for API Key Auth (missing page till now, very requested by community[1]), which has been ready since early May, stagnant for almost 3 months now[2], don't know how to bump wit

A lifetime ago, I summarized the techniques of sensor detection for a stackoverflow answer, see [1]. The generic answer is every step of the acquisition/storage process can create artifacts worth analyzing statistically: lens defects,

Indeed! I've enjoyed the middle ground that some package managers provide, where one can point to a git repo's tag/branch/commit hash instead of the upstream package repository of choice. This means if you REALLY wanted

That's pretty cool reproducibility indeed, love it. I once worked in C++, and the lack of a (standard?) package manager was killing me for pretty much that reason. "This says it's using curl, but did they compile it with a we

My assumption here is that your language has already got a dependency management system beyond git, because there's just SO much value in specifying and isolating dependencies and associated build tools, things git doesn't care ab

Beyond how hard to use they may or may not be, my personal hatred of git submodules is about bypassing your normal dependency management system. See 12 Factors on Dependencies[1]. I've not seen many uses of submodules that weren't

You're definitely on to something. I know (personal) Github API tokens use a prefix of ghp_ and the Github-app JWT-issued tokens have another prefix (maybe gha_? Can't remember) As mentioned recently here on HN, a generalized vers

Hey, OP here. Good question! Indeed, I tried initially to write this as a top-to-bottom thing that tangles in the "obvious" (sequential) way. This proved limiting quickly because of my intention to run formatting/linting tool

Hey, OP here. I'm a heavy proponent of "we play (at work/in prod) like we practice (in personal projects)", so that idea of TDD/LP as "peformance approach" is interesting. Thanks for that. And on the tensi

Having a similar discussion at work recently, I've written in favour of using Gherkin Features to gather high level requirements (and sometimes a bit of specifications), mostly stored in Jira Epics to clarify what's asked. See the

Big fan of Guix, though I've only tested it in VMs, via Vagrant[1], for lack of disposable hardware. Its usability by non-specialists can be improved (and is, release by release) but the concept is very promising for reproducible syste

I agree with most of the point of the article (I'm a huge Phab fan), but I feel like the explanation of what stack diffs are and why it matters was a bit lacking. I usually describe it by comparing it to floating patches instead of anc

Yes! Termux[0] does supports gpg and pass but no yubikey by default, but okc-agent[1] is a third party binding of OpenKeyChain, providing barebones gpg via yubikey. I use this to decrypt passwords via NFC: [0]: https://termux.org

All lovely features, the killer for me is support for playback speed adjustment (percent), pitch adjustment, and skipping silence in audio! Perfect for podcasts: run playlist in background at x2 with "skip silences" on.

Internal libraries and similar fun stuff. Common build step ~~ same packager commands run on them. Management is fairly simple with a template + seed jobs. It's just ... everything else is annoying. I don't understand what you mea

Heyo, sorry about that, I was playing on the fact that common parlance has tamed the usage to have "TFA = The FINE Article" in civil discourse =) My bad, will check my assumptions some more!

I sincerely wish I could move away from Jenkins for the reasons stated in TFA (GUI-oriented, slow, hard to backup/config, test-in-production mentality and boundless plugins) but I've never found something that fits the bill. The m

Yey! Note that, much to my unhappiness (see issue #42) transcoding is a process that blocks the streaming from starting, which can take several minutes at 100% CPU.
