Used this the other day when for whatever reason Gnome's built-in bluetooth GUI refused to connect to my headphones. Very nice and easy to use.

Oh wow. Thanks for telling me this. I didn't know that this was different for different regions. I just checked some of my accounts, and indeed the mapping is stable between accounts for for example Frankfurt, but not Sydney.

This is not exactly true. The az names are indeed randomized per account, and this is the identifier that you see everywhere in the APIs. The difference now is that they also expose a mapping from AZ name (randomized) to AZ id (not randomiz

What you are referring to is vengeance, not justice. Some people see the two as inseparable and others do not.

The company I work for has a similar, yet even worse instance of this. The employee satisfaction survey was advertised as anonymous, but when I looked into the implementation they were just hashing the email address, of which there were onl

When you say that the filter would disallow connecting directly to IP addresses, how would that work? When I open a tcp connection, there's no reference to any domain name. Do you think CF would proactively resolve all the domain names

Funnily enough, I spent the last weekend implementing search in Ghostty using Claude. There's already a kinda working implementation of the actual searching, so most of the job was just wiring it up to the UI. After two sessions of may

Similar to the previous commenter, every time I read a blog post from Cloudflare I end up checking the careers page thinking "this is exactly the kind of work I'd like to be doing". Sadly no openings in my country. I'll

It's a matter of scale. Your characterization of the opposite viewpoint being complete equality is a strawman. What people are opposed to is the extreme levels of wealth inequality that exists, not the concept that one person can build

Ah, I think the part that I didn't consider was that an "idle" VM is not zero CPU cost, unlike a container, so indeed from a hypervisor owner perspective you'd like other active VMs to be able to use that CPU time. But a

I feel like I'm missing something here when this is being used with nomad. Caveat being that the only comparable technologies I've worked with are k8s and ECS. In the article they mention that they are using a containerd shim to l

Couldn't agree more. I don't think I will ever publish another open-source project without making it painfully clear that it is my gift to the world and comes with no support whatsoever. No issue tracker, no accepted pull requests

That's very interesting. How do they know what's outgoing? Do they have to check the address of each letter, or is there like a separate compartment for outgoing mail?

Last time I wrote any LÖVE games was probably more than 10 years ago, so perhaps this has been lost since then, but from what I recall creating a single executable of your game could be done by just concatenating a zip file of your game to

I've built something similar as a service to be used by developers at a large-ish enterprise. Granted, it was based on functionality offered by AWS, but the users didn't really know that. The reason we built it, despite the fact t

I must be misunderstanding what he is saying, but I can't figure out what. Once his shares have vested, they are his. What entity forced him to sell his shares for 1% of what they are worth and how could they possibly do that?

It is open source. The code is still available under the same license as before. They are just charging for binary builds.

Obviously you can report additional income also on the website. For example, I report income from Github Sponsors every year so that I can pay my taxes on that. The same would apply if you got paid for something in cash, for whatever reason

A mistake I see commonly whenever someone says to "just move off of the cloud" is that they see the cloud as just a VM provider. If it was, then yeah, moving to another provider wouldn't be such a big deal. In reality, the cl

It's true. Though it's not about leaving them outside for the night with only a dull knife with which to fight off the wolves. It's about leaving them in their prams outside for nap time. Obviously bundled up to keep warm dur

I very recently used jemalloc to resolve a memory fragmentation issue that caused a service to OOM every few days. While jemalloc as it is will continue to work, same as it does today, I wonder what allocator I should reach for in the futur

Automated payment is already very much the norm. Just put in your credit card before refueling. Vending machines solved the automated snack sales decades ago, except for the restocking.

This is certainly very location dependent. Where I live, outside parking is the norm, with lots of people either charging EVs or pre-heating their engine without being subjected to any vandalism.

This doesn't really say much about publishing games from GitHub Actions. There's about 3 lines that reference https://github.com/game-ci/steam-deploy which contains the actual implementation.

Kinda. I've been approached quite a few times by different companies as a direct result of it, but I've always turned them down as I wasn't looking for a new job. It's not due to random contributions here and there, but

I wonder how effective this would be in multi-tenant environments like shared k8s clusters. On the one hand, each application running will have a different purpose and will move around between nodes over time, but on the other hand there ar

Related to this, as a library author it's great that the library can now come pre-instrumented and the application can use whatever backend they want. Previously, I would have to expose some kind of event emitter or hooks that the appl

I'm really curious to hear more about what kind of thing is covered in your playbooks. I've often heard and read about the value of playbooks, but I've yet to see it bear fruit in practice. My main work these past few years h

It's not a matter of being smart enough. Since JavaScript is interpreted, the optimization happens at runtime. If the code is executed once and the number of items in the array is small, then it will take more time for the compiler to
