"How easy were they to..." They weren't, like at all (yes, I have tried them). The dockerfile for repeatable (enough) image builds and the simple command line for running a container without having to mess with making a confi

I guess it never was... Funny, I was so sure it was the default font in Word back when I went to school. But I can't find any references to it so I don't know where I got that idea from.

I ended up abandoning my email inbox, I don't read it. It's a dumpster that I occasionally go fishing in when I need something specific. Subscriptions are exhausting, I am slowly moving more and more stuff to self hosting. I bough

Comic Sans is a pretty good font, it's only sin is having been the default in Microsoft Word for several years.

Used to be some of my favorite tech books, but these days it's so damn hard to figure out what books they still print if any, so I have mostly moved over to No Starch Press as my default goto for tech books.

Looks like short term thinking to me. Great for the next two years, but a problem after that, but hey can always have another job by then so it will be someone else problem.

How do you figure moving hundreds of passwords + shared passwords (requires other people to also move) from one solution to another is easy.

My first reaction was that this is targeting executives as it looks like the kind of writing I have seen in emails from executives.

I think the metric should be branching, so functions with fewer branches are better than functions with more branches. And the reason is that it’s easier to write tests for functions with few branches without overlooking paths through the f

Real time location tracking and harmful speech don't impact the ultra rich and normal people in the same way. Location tracking can be dangerous to rich people because they are a target. Most people are not targets and therefore really

Because there’s not been a large obvious reminder for some time. In fact the last such reminder was before most currently living software developers were born.

People are different, so different things click with how they think. I would likely not be a programmer if it weren’t for Ruby and it doing things different. I had tried to learn programming for years (JavaScript, Python, Java, C#), none of

The problem is that what is obvious depends upon your way of thinking. To me very little in Python makes sense, but I understand that it does to someone and that’s cool. There’s no reason to hate on a language just because it doesn’t click

So if we have to use a script anyway, then why do we have to write like 20+ lines of YAML to run the script? Edit: I mean, why is this not the config if we are just doing a script? src: github.com/... run: test_and_build.sh

That's kinda my idea with plugins, it should be possible to develop a plugin doing your custom thing if you need something in that last 20%. Concourse CI has a design documented for a better resource/plugin system than what they c

I run Concourse CI for my personal stuff with the code in Fossil. It works decently enough, I like that it's somewhat extensible, but I have hit use cases that it can't really do like building an Alpine Linux cloud image. As for Y

Dagger looks interesting, I will check it out.

It should be more achievable than it has ever been before with container tech being in a great place, qemu being a thing and the webassembly ecosystem getting better every day.

Absolutely, I feel like most CI systems are much harder to configure than necessary. If I were to build my own CI system, then it would have these features. - Simple config format, ideally flat and not nested, so maybe toml. - Ability to ru

The "everything is a ..." is an incredible powerful abstraction type, but you really have to go all the way for it to really work well.

Is there anything that makes it a legit library instead of just a piracy operation? Like do they buy copies of ebooks and only allow as many simultaneous readers as they have books?

Had the domain for a year and when it came time for renewal (1 month before expiry) it had been marked as premium and had a higher renewal price, so I tried to move it to several other providers only to be met with a “can’t move domain beca
