I think we already have the tools but no the communication between those? Instead of having actions taken and failures as commit messages, you should have wide-events like logs with all the context, failures, tools used, steps taken... Thos

Well, this was horrifying, I can't believe people do this to their kids.

That's a really good point actually. If you're self hosting, you're already eating some cost by having people, probably in-house, doing the work but the price difference must be quite large and they should use it to support t

The Agile Manifesto says "People over process", this can be interpreted in many ways. But ideally you follow the 80/20 rule and have clear cut processes for the most frequent cases and/or liability/law/SLA stuf

It's an interesting article because tech articles rarely revisit the past for what kind of decisions were made and why. Thanks! Also always cool to see a Wingo article because I get exposed to a field I know very little about (how garb

Can you explain what reproducible mean in this context? Does that mean that you can recompile everything from "scratch" or does it have a deeper meaning?

What bothers me, for example in Python, with the function coloring is that it creeps everywhere and you need to rewrite your functions to accommodate async. I think being able to take and return futures or promises and handle them how you w

As mentioned in the article, others might have different constraints that make the GIL worth it for them; since both versions of Python are available anyways, it's a win in my book.

Nice that someone takes the time to crunch the number, thanks! I know there's some community effort in how to use free-threaded Python: https://py-free-threading.github.io/ I've found debugging Python quite easy i

My main interaction is from the GUI where I just leave it open for days at a time. So this article stems from some of the frustrations I had using it in the terminal and not finding the same behavior I was used to.

This article is mostly about using emacs -nw which will depend on a bunch of things like how terminal input is handled! With regular Emacs, as a GUI, I typically split as well but I prefer vterm over M-x shell.

There's usually two pieces, a short one that can be taken as is for the general press and another which goes more in depth at a university level I would say.

I used to use org-mode with hugo but it got annoying, I didn't like how I needed to structure my org files, it kind of forced me into some structure. Now I use Zola with Markdown. I'm losing in power but it's so much simpler

Ink and Switch has been such a source of joy for me. I like reading their articles because they come from such a different place than what you currently see in most software (Cloud based subscriptions). Just a breath of fresh air backed by

I think being able to just create cross platform binaries + having good tooling out of the box as well. You can get started with go very easily and sharing programs as binaries just removes a whole lot of issues you'd have in other lan

That's why I stick mostly with Github actions and pin the SHA of the commits instead of the tag version.

Something like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tas... Invariably, ppl will write inline scripts instead of actual scripts in their own files. There are also some SDKs for m

Can't tell if asked honestly. Because that's how most platforms handle their pipelines. Terraform or Bicep let you use a declarative language for your platform. Everything else is calling cli commands or scripts from pipelines, wr

But it's the situation we're in now. It's what you see in the docs and what my colleagues write as well. I entirely agree that scripting into a markup language doesn't make sense yet the inertia is there and I wish there

I'm just so tired of writing bash scripts inside the YAML. I want to be able to lint and test whatever goes into my pipelines and actions. Not fight shitty DX on top of whatever Azure spits out when it fails.

Great! Crazy that it can be brought back every time though, it makes me very uncomfortable.
