I've started experimenting with Claude Code, and I've decided that it never touches anything that isn't under version control. The way I've put this into practice is that instead of letting claude loose on production fil

After years of cargo-culting this advice—"run ssh on a nonstandard port"—I gave up and reverted to 22 because ssh being on nonstandard ports didn't change the volume of access attempts in the slightest. It was thousands per d

That's a whole lot of words for you acknowledging that I'm right. Fluoridated drinking water, at the appropriate levels, has no effect on IQ. Would you like to debate the reality of anthropogenic climate change next? This will be

Hah. Maybe, as noted by others, you should read the study cited before assuming its conclusions support your argument. Which they do not.

People are telling you why. You're just choosing to disregard their answers as insufficient. This is not a them-problem. It's a you-problem.

Yeah, there's a reason why stuff like the git manpage generator ( https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ ) is funny, and it's because git's CLI doesn't have a learning curve. It has a learning brick

The customer who just wants to put in their CC# and buy the product isn't a pipeline customer. You can't come back to that customer every other quarter and take them out for golf and pump them for additional services based on the

If I were going to do that, I'd just use tmpfs — i'm lazy. But I'm under the impression that given how aggressive and intelligent file system caching is these days, ramdisks are almost never the correct solution because the k

No, I'm happy to retreat to the familiar, and nginx is pretty familiar. After having my tail feathers burned with OLS, I doubt I'll switch to anything else for the next several years without an extremely compelling reason.

USB devices can definitely be formatted with APFS, since they did that on-stage during the demo. I'm less sure about iSCSI targets, but iSCSI is a block-storage protocol. If you can format an iSCSI volume with HFS+ today, you'll p
