It's probably the same as with Pokemon Go[0]. The game is fun on its own, and the geo aspect makes it different and get's you out of the house. But the reality of the VR is grossly overrated and more often a nuisance than somethin

The biggest reason I use Make is the dependency resolving. In the `make init` example. It doesn't matter how many intermediate steps are involved `init` is the end-state I want to achieve. So in most of my Makefiles the `init` target w

A valuable lesson I learned at a young age from one of my first 'customers' when doing computer repair jobs for friends and neighbours was is that you don't get paid for what you can or do but for the value you add or time (m

I would rather compare it to car mechanics. Even though every car has the same parts (engine, wheel). Every brand has their own specific way of putting things together. The general principle is the same, but one mechanic just perfectly know

> Can I write some function integration in C/Go/Powershell, etc? Sure, but when I do, I am not nearly as efficient as when I am using my daily languages/frameworks. Should you be so efficient though? At the end of the day

This is a nice video. The only thing I'm missing that should be covered imho (as you will encounter it even if you don't use it) is implicit/pattern rules: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual&#x

When using it in multiple projects and CI you also tend to develop some kind of Developer-API with common commands/targets. No matter what kind of project you run you always use the same target names to get started. No remembering whic

Never wrote them myself but have encountered them sometimes. Had no major issues with them then I believe. However I would probably write a Makefile to manage the Ruby environment and install Rake as they don't come installed by defaul

I can agree with your sentiment. I often sought alternatives for Make because some things are just missing. However I always end up with a Makefile because Make is just so basic and ubiquitous. Any big change or alternative to Make and you

I often find the non linear way of working with Make an advantage. Since it allows you to break a big piece of procedural shell code with lots of control flow (if X is installed don't install again, etc) into small self contained funct

With Docker at least everything is contained in the container. Which makes isolating and resetting environments a breeze. Something I worry about often is contaminating my system's 'state'. Which always leads to broken builds

I don't really know a good all in manual, most thing about Make I learned over years of using it from different sources. And I still sometimes discover new features (and new ones are still added in recent release, but I tend to avoid t

Makefiles. I always dismissed them as a C compiler thing. Something that could never be useful for Python programming. But nowadays every project I create has a Makefile to bind together all task involved on that project. From bootstrapping

There is Minecraft for raspberry pi edition which comes free with the standard raspbian desktop image. My daughter loves it. It ties in with the education stuff in that it has a python API. For the rest it is more limited compared to normal

In my opinion hiding code is an anti feature as exposing the code by default gives you more incentive to write clean understandable and explaining (self documenting) code as it's always visible. By hiding it people might be more likel

Would be really nice if some TLS/certificate information was added. That would make this tool complete for me.

Same goes for diesel. You can run cars exclusively on bio-fuel, the cars won't care. Only when you scale it up to current worldwide fuel consumption levels you might even make a worse impact on climate than fossil fuels would right now

Please don't merge continuously, rebase instead. You have to handle the conflict one way or the other. But at least rebasing doesn't give you an incomprehensible git history filled with spaghetti and extraneous merge commits.

Correct, if you know it is public exposed. Our team had a private repo which we wanted to make open source inside our company without exposing the secrets stored there. In our case BFG saved us a lot of trouble and we could get this feature

I've heard at tech conferences like CCC instead of using a few big powerful AP's at central and high locations, they put lower power units in between the audience's seats. Humans, as water bags, are good at dampening signals.
