https://simonwillison.net/2020/Oct/9/git-scraping/ Simon Willison has a bunch of examples of scraping sites with GHA and storing the results in a repo. But you can use the same technique without the stor

Thanks for pointing that out. Are these large runners somewhat new? I feel like I check every few months and I hadn't seen them before. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runne... 4 core |

When GHA has decent instance sizes I imagine they'll eat a lot of CCIs lunches. The automatic test splitting is also a god send for parallelising builds.

Same here. That’s the framework we use to lint before accepting a commit.

Does sapling support hooks like pre and post commit? My workflow leans on pre-commit (the framework) heavily and it would be hard to give that up. I’d still be keen to take this for a drive though, nice work!

This is what systems like deb and rpm do - they curate a list of packages that can be installed to the system. But most people (in my experience, including myself) don’t use them because they get out of date really quickly and don’t lend th

There are some efforts going into the frontend to reduce these sizes. There's a bit of a transition between frameworks happening.

I work on a reasonably large Django project (1M+ LOC) with approximately 100 developers and mostly have a reasonable time debugging. We use mypy, lots of linters (some custom flake8 plugins), and a fairly strict layered architecture[0] that

I was thinking along the lines of ~/.data/{prog} without requiring further subdirs. The config, data, and cache would all coexist within the same directory per program Each of the data, config, and cache envvars would all be set t

Asked out of ignorance, but do the envvars not allow one to easily co-locate data/config/cache by setting them all to the same value?

I’m glad someone else called this out. “I imagine it’ll suck but I haven’t used it, and they’re breaking the UI for the wrong reasons”. Such a quick transition from imagining someone doing something and then getting angry at your own imagin

The Python integration seems to be abandoned unfortunately and isn’t keeping up with the parent. No longer works with django filewatching.

Looks really useful! How do you go about integrating IDEs (like vscode) with the nix shell?

Some great points there, I’ve been hit by all of them. I particularly like the first which is to engage an expert to validate your design. There are so many kinds of deployments and configurations and knowing the best for your application i

I feel like "and while it does require a little tuning around performance occasionally" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there :) Honestly though my only experience with RabbitMQ has been as a backend for Celery (background task pr

Yeah, Wheel of Time was really bad. I tried so hard to like it but it had little to redeem it.

No, because it's no longer "just code". Bundling in assets (ML models, server keys, etc) makes it more difficult to open source something. So, while I don't agree that it should be closed source, it makes a little more s

Might have missed a word there. When I want to go back 3 screens it’s a drag having to wait each time.

Holding down B to exit menus in SSBU is awful! But I actually like the interaction of entering menus that uses the same pattern. I think it’s because I don’t mind the anticipation of moving forward, but hate the drag of not being allowed to

Thanks for this, it was definitely news to me. If this is the case then it makes slightly more sense, but is still disappointing.

The Python extension itself is not closed source and is still maintained by the original developer that MS hired. It’s the language server that went from an OSS Microsoft project (that replaced the initial Jedi server) to the closed source

The existing one was an open source Microsoft project. Then they built a new closed-source version as a replacement. To be fair, pylance is orders of magnitude better with regards to performance. But I just don’t get what the reasoning was

This was recently an issue with the celery docs site too. When the primary authors step away from the code the infra isn’t always handed over.

Having a go at writing the elevator pitch myself, since I think the others I've read have been overly technical. It's a platform as a service. It'll take your docker application (usually a web application) and run it on the i

Directing specific queries to a write connection (dbserver) vs directing requests to specific application servers (potentially mid-request) does seem operationally “harder” though. I’m coming at this from the perspective of a traditional dj

Soft deletes are just the first step. After some period of time you can automatically purge or manually purge. Which is what they’ve supposedly committed to doing.

This was addressed in the write up (it’s very long, so missing it is easy). They ran the script against 30 accounts first to verify it worked, and it did, because the list of 30 ids they tested against came from a different source than the
