We currently manage the dependencies manually, although I'm pretty sure work is being done to bring gazelle to rules_python (maybe it's already landed). For what it's worth, our venv stuff is at https://github.com&

Ideally your IDE supports Bazel. There's a Bazel plugin for Intellij that works reasonable well for Java. We use python primarily, and while this plugin does support Python a bit, it's got some issues. So we wrote a bazel rule th

What a bizarre situation. For what it's worth, Google Homes don't have this drop-in feature. You can make calls and make announcements, but both require the person on the other end to actively answer or respond.

At work we use a mixture of Bazel and Nix for our repo. Bazel drives everything, but Nix is used for its wide array of prebuilt third-party packages. Nix gives us e.g. python, postgres, clang, and various other utilities. We have a mixture

Developing EC2 did involve building a whole new network. It was a new service, built from the ground up to be a public product.

Maybe the original creator was an Emacs fan? Lisp also uses semicolons for comments.

The entire GCP console is written in Angular, so it's probably got a bit of staying power.

The Windows ecosystem has a long history of closed source freeware. It doesn't seem strange at all to me.

I remember being jealous of my friend's Pentium (66? 90?) when mp3 playback slaughtered my 486.

They provide a number of installation options; you don't need to use the dedicated OS. https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/

The web configurator is a practical feature. I just tried it and it seems to work pretty well. But you're in luck; looks like the next version will have everything also configurable via text: https://github.com/fish-she

One difference is that acquiring those other devices requires premeditation, whereas an AirTag is a cheap impulse purchase at Target.

It sounds like that Android app is only going to be useful to detect being tracked yourself, but not allow Android users to track their own tags? Hah. Imagine the reaction in this community if the parties were reversed: Google released a cr

Fair. But if the site doesn't list vulnerabilities in older firmware, then someone stumbling upon it that hasn't kept their router up to date won't see their actual vulnerabilities listed.

How many people actually update their router firmware?

The size comparisons in the left margin are a great touch. Tsar Bomba just keeps going.

This is pretty subjective. I find iOS pretty aggravating and lacking after using Google's (Pixel) variant of Android for years. Agree that many manufacturers stuff bloatware onto their devices, but the Pixels don't have that probl

Definitely seems like a work in progress, which I suppose is why it's marked pre-GA.

I was downtown this weekend and it was much busier than I expected. I rode the light rail from the new Northgate station, and the train was (relatively) full after the university stations. I hope the two are related.

SSM has StartSession which drops you into a shell, and StartSSHSession which is the equivalent of opening a tcp connection to an ssh server. When used as a ProxyCommand, the latter lets you do everything you'd normally so with an ssh c

The trick is to mix SSM with EC2 Instance Connect using the `aws ec2-instance-connect send-ssh-public-key` command. We use bastions to connect to RDS instances. The bastions aren't accessible from the internet; only via SSM. You can wr
