Why waste time building your own testing scripts when you can copy paste a few lines of YAML and be done.

However more and more development features get locked into vendor specific implementations, like testing and building using Gitlab CI/CD or Github Actions, security evaluation (eg: dependabot) and issue management workflows that requir

I think that has to do with the fact that not all children are able to learn/sense it at a young age. Telling parents their kids should be potty trained before the age of 3 could have the parent put pressure on the kid resulting in wor

Canary deployments. Don't replace a production version, but install the new version next to it. Switch between versions via loadbalancer or use queues to decouple different implementations from storage. Adjust your development process

I wish I could play the ending of touch slower so it lasted even longer. It's one of those songs that tells a whole story without words.

At least all Youtube video's have a common thread of promoting VPN, with little bits of humor or information in between.

A .app can install a persistent service or alike just as easily as a .pkg. Unless the .pkg is from a untrusted source but the .app is signed. But then again why even install from an untrusted source without signature.

The make manual[0] has always been pretty helpful to me, as it explains just about everything completely. And avoiding templated makefiles like you find in C(++) projects, as they compound in complexity very quickly and are bad as an exampl

Indeed, people will always find a way, especially if money is involved. And running outdated browsers for legacy support, while being a huge security risk, is not uncommon for a lot of use cases, especially back then.

Indeed, a virtual env is really not that exciting or complicated. Even "activating" a virtualenv is just changing your shell's PATH so it picks the virtualenv binaries, nothing else. You can also just call those binaries dire

I think Mullvad doesn't use the NetworkExtension API but relies on tun/tap. WireGuard used to do this in the past. But if you want to run a VPN on iOS devices you need to implement via NE anyways, so I believe the development was

Besides the compiler breaking comments, I also keep a personal "scrum board" of post-it notes on my desk where I write down every thing I would otherwise need to keep inside my head. This also greatly helps in reducing distraction

I think it is due to personal nostalgia and technical curiosity. Solving these kind of issues are more of a hobby contrasted to real work that needs to be done on project. Thus sparking more joy and engagement.

Looks interesting, just gave it a try converting a simple Makefile. But it seems like Just does away with file targets and file dependencies as a whole? As far as I can tell there is no way to skip dependencies that are already fulfilled?

Indeed, declerativeness and conventions but also dependency resolving and ubiquity are the main plusses for me. Bash scripts used for these tasks tend to accrue a lot of boilerplate and every script has it's own conventions. So every t

No, but I thought it would be a good reference. I just ran a game and pinged the instance that was streaming (120.37.116.136), funny enough it ping was worse (8ms) than the ping to stadia.com (3ms). Also the IP is no longer pingable once yo

So I just played Celeste, a platforming game which I have both native and on Stadia (it's free with the Pro subscription) and I don't notice any difference in playing either version in terms of input lag.
