This will not be a fun retrospective (the status updates are brutal and clear) -- and I've only been using Coveralls for open source projects for years. There is a chance — depending on how stubborn the cloud infrastructure provider is

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this yet. I would want the equivalent of the trixie-slim Docker image (Debian 13, no documentation). It's ~46 Mb instead of ~4Mb as a Docker image, but gives a reasonably familiar interface. (This is la

It isn't necessarily. A _bad_ video can often be worse than a bad description, because I can read a bad description and reformulate and clarify. This is compounded when the video skips the prerequisite steps that a description often ne

Not at all. Video-first is generally as ridiculous as SEO-driven recipes where I can't start cooking what I want to cook because I have to go through someone's nonna's best friend's sister's cooking life story. It

TL;DW. I don't watch video complaints. I don't watch most YT videos except at 2x because by time the person who made the video got started saying what they're trying to say, I could have finished a text article version of the

I primarily use lazygit for diff/patch editing as I'm preparing PRs so that commits are in a useful order for reviewers (at least those who choose to go commit-by-commit). Aside from the fact that I've built workflows for laz

I'm not vegan, but ovo-lacto vegetarian, so B12 deficiency isn't anything I've ever had to worry about. With appropriate fortified foods (synthesized bacterial sources adding B12 to nutritional yeast, plant milks, etc.), vega

Not sure how you got that from anything I’ve written, because it’s not what I said. What I said is the FDA shouldn’t be promoting junk recommendations as if it were gold-standard science. There are good scientific reasons to avoid animal fa

Tallow is still higher in long chain SFAs than vegetable saturated fats, which are less healthy than short and medium chain SFAs (but neither is as good as PUFAs). That sort of overwhelms the omega ratios. As I understand it, both fish oil

I have no disagreement with this and I think I said as much. But the premise of the original article (that beef tallow ever went away, which is required for a comeback) is deeply flawed, and the fascionable junk science from RFK is the dumb

I won't bother as I'm vegetarian, which means that I really don't care the "supposed" benefits (which likely pale compared to the ingestion of long chain saturated fats present in beef tallow, as opposed to the shor

Compared to what and for what purpose? Olive oil? Peanut oil? No and (mostly) no. Compared to hydrogenated margarine that was pushed a couple of decades ago before we learned about trans-fats? Of course. If you use it when cooking for guest

Not to be flippant, but we know that the answer to that is "No" because of Betteridge's Law of Headlines[1]. I haven't read the article ("too hard, didn't care"), but as a foodie: - in certain food circles

For years, pipx did almost all the work that I needed it to do for safely running utility scripts. uv has replaced that for me, and has replaced most other tools that I used with the (tiny amount of) Python that I write for production.

I'm not sure when that behaviour might have changed, but I have seen it do so. Same with yarn when not specifying a frozen lockfile. I switched to pnpm as my preferred package manager a couple of years ago because of this, and even th

npm did not always do it right, and IMO still does not do it completely right (nor does pnpm, my preferred replacement for npm -- but it has `--frozen-lockfile` at least that forces it to do the right thing) because transitive dependencie

In cold weather, one should always dress for 5℃ warmer than the temperature outside when you have a bike longer than 5 km. Runners pretty much have to do the same. Your body heat and good layering will take care of everything else.

I think that trusted publishing has had a bigger impact than the gem signing that was introduced years ago and never worked well because the infrastructure wasn't present.

The maintainer is eccentric. He refuses to use anything that runs JavaScript out of a sense of "Free Software Purity", which means that he cannot use most of the ecosystem to which Ruby has migrated. He has only contributed to R
