> It's odd to always say "Hashicorp, an IBM company". Looks like they want to assign blame. All their branding does this now, including the HashiCorp logo on their website [0]. There's gotta be a name for this specifi

Yeah you've correctly identified the mindset there that the leadership had in my case. They didn't want to upgrade to an in-support version of MySQL either...

It's an optional tool that can be used to implement drivers now, not forced. If you don't like the idea of another language being supported for implementing a subset of kernel modules, I don't think you wouldn't enjoyed

Let's Encrypt was _huge_ in making it's absurd to not have TLS and now we (I, at least) take it for granted because it's just the baseline for any website I build. Incredible, free service that helped make the web a more secu

Used his book to learn networking in the late 10s! It's a timeless book at this point. Using the C/Unix socket APIs as the foundation is fantastic. He dives into code and actual network function so well for such a quick read.

I'd be interested in a way to handle large swaths of simple tooling calling for LLMs (Anthropic recently had something about this, not sure if it would apply) so that they can know to _never_ attempt math, because that's not what

I _love_ the Advent of Code. I actually (selfishly) love that it's only 12 days this year, because by about half way, I'm struggling to find the time to sit down and do the fantastic problems because of all the holiday activities

Few politicians seem to want to think about what happens after their time in office. Quick, short term wins only.

I don't know about macOS, but I've found Spotlight awesome since switching to an iPhone last year. The only issue I have is that some apps that I would really like to search don't index their data with it.

The thing that holds me back from this is always the battery. I want to have my battery removed so that it doesn't eventually become a time bomb, but it's a pain on modern phones and I'm not even sure if they boot without. Th

Well they've been working on Orion for six years now, so I feel like their effort split between the browser and their other services has been fine.

Maybe I've Stockholm'd myself, but I think Rust's syntax is very pleasant. I also think a lot of C code looks very good (although there is some _ugly_ C code out there). Sometimes the different sets of angle and curly bracket

There were some recent posts I saw about "dependency cooldowns", which seem to be what you're referring to in item 2. The idea really resonated with me. That said, I hard pin all our dependencies and get dependabot alerts and

It wasn't anything special, but one I took a lot of personal enjoyment in was refactoring a god awful mess of untested, poorly written PHP that was at the core of the company's product. It was to the point that no one one the team

The previous version of iOS (iOS 18). I'm not sure when it started (maybe iOS 7), but that and then Android following suit was a great UI. That said, I'm also one of the minority that actually like the new liquid glass aesthetic.

Modern PHP is a damn fine, fast language. I wrote production PHP from 2021 to 2023. The problem with PHP wasn't the language or the ecosystem (PHP community packages are very solid in my experience), it's the existing PHP code you

Completely agreed. There has always been bits of entitlement to open source projects by users, but I feel like increase in package managers and ecosystems (which I think is generally a good thing) has lead to a _huge_ increase in people bei

There's (obviously) a lot of discussion around the use of `unwrap` in production code. I feel like I'm watching comments speak past each other right now. I'd agree that the use of `unwrap` could possibly make sense in a place

+1 for this being my experience. Used RCS on a Pixel 6a and a Pixel 8 before switching to an iPhone. As soon as my carrier got approved by Apple (or whatever the hell that process was), RCS just worked out of the box with my (increasingly f

It's a very solid broad programming book! I thought it was going to be too generic or over hyped, but it was solid. That said, I do find the most interesting software books to be about specifics, but that's nothing against this bo

Oh, it sucked haha - I totally agree. Glad I could do it though. I believe mine was a gen 3 and I I had to remove everything and the keyboard is the last part you remove before putting the new one on. I assume it was similar for you conside

Everyone should read "The AWK Programming Language". It's so short, with both the first and second editions floating around 200 pages in an A5 (could be off on that page size) form factor. Aside from AWK being a handy languag

Yeah I agree with this. Archive everything that I think could potentially have value. Any newsletters or nonsense (before I end up unsubscribing) get nuked. Edit: Login codes and login links as well are clear to be deleted as well. Any actu

Anecdotally (not to diminish any bug the parent had), SingleFile is one of my favorite extensions. Been using it for years and it's saved my ass multiple times. Thank you! Edit: What's the best way to support the project? I'm
