One thing that stuck out to me in the article is that they only mention one meaning of "huh". As you have pointed out, there are multiple meanings of "huh". You have "huh?" meaning "I don't understand

The "Store secrets safely" section seems to propose three alternative solutions: store secrets encrypted in Git, expose secrets to applications with environment variables, and encrypt secrets with KMS. But those are solutions to d

Yes, sorry I should have been more explicit. The article does mention the Rachel by the Bay blog post, but in a way that makes it sound like a different issue. I think they are more related. I think the Rachel by the Bay blog post does a go

This service is for code artifacts. What credential to the developers use to access source code? Do they expire? It is common for developers to use Git to store source code, in a hosted service like GitHub. It is common to use SSH keys to a

And every developer needs to have that alias. And all automation needs to be changed to call that command before trying to use pip, or mvn, or whatever. It sucks. No other hosted artifact repository does this.

The login credentials expire after 12 hours (or less)[1], just like with their Docker registry (ECR). That makes it pretty annoying to use, especially on developer laptops. GCP has a similar offering[2]. And GitHub[3]. [1] https:/&#x2

Seriously, the show was named after the branch of the military. The creators have been totally open about that. The US announced the new Space Force branch, and the creators thought "that would be a funny show". Steve Carell expla

The aggressiveness of police does come from fear. That fear comes from training[1]. And it is fear that people they come in contact with will have a gun. The fear is absurd and not founded in reality. In California it is illegal for a regul

Armed police roaming the streets don't solve car break-ins. I specifically mentioned car break-ins in my comment below[1]. I want the police department as we know it to be disbanded so we can have real solutions to real problems. No on

This is what needs to happen to all police departments. Slow reform won't work. What police in America do is wrong at its core. We don't need thousands of armed people roaming the streets looking for crime. Only 5% of arrests invo

This isn't true. Each year about 25% of people killed by cops in the US are Black, while Black people only make up 13% of the US population. The amount of people cops have killed has not decreased, at has stayed steady at about 1,100 f

I'd avoid WTFPL if you are serious about this as an open source project. Google publishes their internal open source policy[1], i.e., what open source licenses can be used in Google software. I think it is a solid reference for what a

I don't think so. This uses the GitHub API via browser side Javascript to auto generate a page, listing and rendering the READMEs in your recent repos. Plus listing and rendering the .md files in a special "blog-posts" repo.

On this intersection the cyclists that got hit were on the main road, meaning they wouldn't have to stop. If a cyclist on the minor road had a clear view, slowed down down, and looked both ways, they wouldn't need to come to a com

As an American I find it very odd that they blame the angles of the roads for making it dangerous. Until recently that intersection had no stop signs. One road had a yield, meaning most of the time no one stops in any direction, on eithe
