This is also a ticking bomb for the Go ecosystem due to how the 1.0 guarantee was updated. Originally, the guarantee was they would never make a language change that altered behavior in a breaking way, ever. But when the change to variables

I really appreciate the Technology Connections take on renewable energy from solar and batteries including a recyclable component. With fossil fuels, the power plant has to be built, and then the fuel is constantly shipped in, which require

It's sad how counter productive the unreliable economic data is. The people buying groceries know that things are more expensive. And the people looking for a job know how hard it is to find work. But this administration wants to say e

You can blame both. The prosecutors and police that didn't do their proper due diligence, falsely imprisoning this woman, and held her for months without due process. And also the AI company that submitted a false police report and the

Recent versions of buildkit have added support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOC. I've been making the images reproducible before that with my own tooling, regctl image mod [1] to backdate the timestamps. It's not just the timestamps you need

I've seen countless attempts to replace "docker build" and Dockerfile. They often want to give tighter control to the build, sometimes tightly binding to a package manager. But the Dockerfile has continued because of its flex

Reaction 1: how would this even work with embedded systems that have no UI to input this data? Reaction 2: it's open source, make the lawmakers do submit the changes. Reaction 3: how would this ever be enforced? Would they outlaw downl

I don't use buildkit for artifacts, but I do like to output images to an OCI Layout so that I can finish some local checks and updates before pushing the image to a registry. But the real hidden power of buildkit is the ability to swap

If you need the money in 2 years, I wouldn't leave it in the stock market. Find a money market or CD to avoid the gamble. You're going to get hit with capital gains taxes either now or in 2 years, so that shouldn't impact you

Two lessons for driving in snow/ice: 1. In a parking lot, clear behind the car, and just enough to get inside. Then back the car out of the space, clear the car off, clear the parking space out, put the car back in the parking space an

One thing states can do is expand early voting. The longer people have to vote, at more locations, the harder it is to focus this chaos on specific precincts on a single day. The second thing they can do is ensure the police force is on the
