Interestingly, ever since I've started doing that a few years ago, I don't get a single spam on the catch all domain. The only spams I'm getting are the ones that come to the address I used on many places (mainly used for acc

What work are you even doing to push virtualization performance to its limit? I cab run a Ubuntu server VM at good performance on VMware.

Except Mac, macOS and its third party apps are actually better. Windows is always lagging with its legacy burden, Linux on desktop doesn't have commercial interest to begin with. Consoles are pretty much the same unless they have exclu

Doesn't feel right. Any OS can virtualize Linux, so the host doesn't really matter. Besides, it's usually the software that matters and not the OS.

I can't really get that idea though. PC version is the main drawing board to express as much idea openly as possible for the intial design and the mobile version is just a compromise of the idea into a squashed view. Mobile first is ju

Except, designers tend to create the PC version first to iterate over the intial design, so not sure how one goes to develop mobile first for this case.

If you can't like the current PHP, there's probably no language that will make you feel too well. What exactly is so bad about it?

Why do you accept it as a given and not customize it?

Yes, you can't possibly write triggers and checks on columns across different databases to the point you should be doing all data checks in the app if you're going to support multiple databases. These days, there's docker, so

If vim or neovim can work as featureful as JetBrains, I'll switch any day. Let me know how to highlight SQL in strings and make tables linked to remote database over SSH and autocomplete table names and column names as I type. And make

That's one of the exact phrases you don't want to hear from a tech department. They make tech excuses which were ultimately their own design and tell that's not possible to be fixed.

They apparently do. Even if they did hard delete they still should have backups. They just got lazy fixing it after several similar incidents and this one was expected and yet all they do is a tweet saying "good luck building up the co

It's just bad design never getting fixed despite several prior incidents except for GitHub's own project which they reverted. Why do they not just give a public/private flag on star data than somehow modifying the data irreve

I sometimes decide what to use based on number of stars. It's a trust in the quality of the software. Now httpie is on 2.5k stars and if I only knew about it today, I'd consider using an alternative with 10k stars if there's

I suppose you never take a backup because everything should be in ideal conditions. If you consider manual errors as non existent, you need to rethink your design.

by mekster 5y ago
It's your customer (repo owners) asking for support and throwing it away being busy is just lazy attitude. You had prior incidents and the bugs were left as is and apparently it will happen again.

by mekster 5y ago
This is laziness on GitHub. If your client asks you for work and you get lazy because it needs some internal modification that could take a day instead of an hour, you just respond it's impossible. Generally that's quite unaccepta

I don't like 3-2-1. It's pretty fragile. I don't know how any sys admins can sleep over 1 remote backup. My setup has 4-2-2 and using 2 different backup implementations for the remote, so bugs in them wouldn't be corrupt
