Can't help you with the JS compile times, sadly. I think that bed is made. :) I prefer to run tests locally whenever possible, for instance as a git hook, rather than in a CI instance. If you need auditability for something like PCI, t

They actually do have analytics, but you need to subscribe (it's a small service, if you can, pay a few bucks to support good people!). I can see a count of readers per day on each post. It also shows counts of devices, browsers, count

I wrote a tool that idempotently applied group and user permissions in MySQL 5.7 with transactions using OpenBSD's pf configuration syntax. A year later GCP patched MySQL to block access to the security tables, so I could no longer use

Instead of structuring this as a fund, why not a non-profit? Then you could solicit tax-deductible donations which get funneled to these FOSS projects as part of your mission. Seems like a possible way to scale this to something much larger

To clarify, this is only for Vaults, so all passwords outside of Vaults have no visibility.

The critical missing piece of 1Password for Business is that it won't reveal to IT admins what passwords are weak across the org (Watchtower only works for the individual). Despite endless training, people still choose really weak pass

It should be illegal for companies to sell products like this without a giant warning. "Your warranty will not be valid, since we're not even supposed to sell this product." It feels like fraud. Wild that it's A-OK for A

I define my own Null[T] for this purpose. There's sql.Null in the stdlib already, so that seems plenty go-like.

I'm not sure you'd need to ship it. You're buying a 1/100,000 share of a physical postcard that exists at the Patreon offices. You can visit the office and see the postcard displayed out front under glass. It just so hap

Is this due to it having inaccurate traffic estimates, or is it just picking bad routes independently of traffic?

My canonical use-case for macros in Scheme is writing unit tests. If you want to see the unevaluated expression that caused the test failure, you'll need a macro. (define-syntax test (syntax-rules () ((_ test-expr expected-

If you're doing digital painting, it's probably just what you're used to. I disliked Krita until I spent a few weeks learning it. Once I found the "Krita way" of doing things, it was actually a much better experienc

I did the same thing. After some bad downtime from Traefik introducing breaking changes in a point release, I decided to write my own. My reverse proxy offered a service mesh, live config reloads, managed TLS certs, and automatically rerout
