Thanks! I didn’t think of searching outside the store. Works great so far.

I’d rather use a great tool for a year and a half (which I have done) and suffer the pain of a fork once than have to use a worse tool. Look at terraform and the tofu fork - it took a while but throughout the peocsss you could just stick to

For us the problem is every device that gets plugged into our network is disabled by default, IT need to enable the port and they'll only enable it on machines that they've imaged. But because AWS isn't in the office, it&#x27

Speed matters everywhere. How much compute is spent on things that could easily be 100x faster than they are? Compare using VMware with pip to run a battery of unit tests with firecracker plus uv. It’s orders of magnitude quicker, and avoid

You say this on a message board run by a VC about a programming language that is primarily developed by meta, google and co. uv is MIT licensed so if they rug pull, you can fork.

If I download python project from someone on the same network as me and they have it written in a different python version to me and a requirements.txt I need all those things anyway.

If that’s your concern you should be auditing the script and the dependencies anyway, whether they’re in a lock file or in the script. It’s just as easy to put malicious stuff in a requirements.txt

The same story applies for software. If I want to buy a license of X for someone, I have to go through procurement, and it takes weeks even for <$50 purchases. Yet if its on the AWS marketplace it’s pre approved as long is doesn’t breach

I work for a small company owned by a huge company. We are entirely independent except for purchasing, IT, and budget approval. We run our CI on AWS, and it’s slow and flaky for a variety of reasons (compiling large c++ projects combined wi

Our use case is a dotnet project with infra defined in terraform. Dotnet fmt is too slow to run as a pre commit hook so I wanted to try tflint and tofu fmt as I know they are very quick and they are relatively easy to work with. They both a

Im very open to a bit of a learning curve! I wasn’t able to get a pre commit of ‘tofu fmt -check’ with the list of tf files changed working, which was frustrating! I found working with pkl tough as there’s little/no editor support (com

by maccard 1y ago
No support for opentofu, so I had to write a custom hook for tofu instead of terraform. Then the hook itself didn’t work because tofu fmt didn’t like the full list of files being passed on instead of just the tf files. Then I had an issue w

Agree on mise. It's a great tool, really well implemented and easy to use. I've been trying to set up hk[0] this week and it's unfortunately not been as smooth a ride though. [0] https://hk.jdx.dev/

Lots of places (unfortunately) restrict repo creation, or CI pipeline creation. The platform team might need to spin up the standard stack for your project, VON access added for AWS environments etc etc. In the sorts of orgs where this happ

This is a bit reductive and I’m surprised to see this sort of take on here. Technically that’s true of any step change - a junior developer is expected (loosely) to fix the bugs and do the tasks, to the spec. They should ask for help early

Whether or not you like it, that's how international relations works. The US famously has gripes with Cuba, Iran, HK, Afghanistan and others, that affect those countries unfairly. If another country decides to side with Iran, they&#x27

I think it’s easy to forget how much you get with a modern setup like this, and how much work it is to maintain it. If you’re at a big corp, the team who maintains this stuff is larger than most mid corp’s engineering departments. For a sol

There's no guarantee that any install method is easily uninstallable, updateable, or cleanable either.

I care about these things. But this is overblown. What’s your threat model here, you’re downloading a random thing from the internet and executing it. 99% of people are on single user machines, so root access doesn’t help, you’re screwed ju

Indeed. I also noticed this morning that you're not the person I replied to, and I took your response (which was actually helpful) in the context of the original post which was "people are happy to just blame AWS when they're

We did indeed. The problem was we couldn’t log into cloud trail, or the console at all, to identify that, because IAM identity center is single region. This was a decision recommended by AWS, and blessed by our (army of) SRE teams.

My dog will eat literal street crap at the first opportunity. She’ll also just throw it up on the carpet 2 hours later if she’s not feeling it. Not sure that’s a really an improvement.

If I asked my security team could I use yaak, they would (probably) say yes, and legal would say under no circumstances am I to use a personal license, they will pay for a commercial license. Large companies are incredibly risk averse when

We run a subset of our CI workload on on-prem workstations because the cost/performance ratio of consumer hardware is so much higher than servers. 1TB NVMe drive, with a 7950x/i9, 64GB RAM and gigabit networking is < $1000. It

I’ve been using laptops for 25 years, and I have never, not once, had a keyboard need to be replaced. I worked in an IT repair place for 5 years where we repaired laptops for customers. I can probably count the number of times we got people

The windows laptop experience is frankly nothing short of embarrassing today. Battery life is measured in closer to minutes than hours, sleep/hibernate is less reliable than my last Linux laptop (in 2017), default OS functionality is
