SPOF is something that you have to make trade-offs for and decide what you can cope with.. How much work to maintain a parallel infrastructure _just in case_ GitHub goes down for more than an hour once or twice a month? How many people actu

Are there any CI/CD metasystems that aren't vendor locked-in? GitHub/even GitLab, Jenkins (freestyle and scripted)/Azure/Travis.... all vendor-specific, as far as I know. Sure, have all the heavyweight stuff in sepa

I'm also in a company, but today am building up something on Github Actions. Every single time I start doing development on Actions, GitHub goes down or actions start failing. I'm not sure if this is saying something about me, or

We work with a rather large upstream scientific codebase in python. They have an innate distrust of anything that isn't written by them. Their testing system depends on tests printing "OK" after every test. This means that in

I usually copy from wikipedia but that's that's a good idea. In fact, since I have a "cols" command that just prints an ansi-colour table, I've just added "box" to do this.

Online/MMO things do this today! Destiny 2 for instance actively removed areas from _paid_ expansions. WOW updated away the game that people liked and paid for and over a decade later decided that it was actually worth the trouble to g

All copyright-infringing files are ~50% 1's, therefore there is a 50% chance of every file with a 1 in being copyright-infringing! Statistics don't lie, which is presumably why google employs so many of them, to calculate these ef

Why isn’t the answer just “Don’t unicode normalise the file name”? I thought the generally recommended way to deal with file names is to treat as a block of bytes (to the extent that e.g. rust has an entirely separate string type for OS pro
