Maybe the ChatGPT implementation of GPT-4 is different than the one in Bing AI, but I tried to ask Bing AI to write a fairly simple Python-based ini-parser yesterday (and by that I really mean using the built-in configparser module), and wh

FWIW, Docker was not intended originally to be a tool for commercialization; it grew out of dotCloud, which open sourced the tool as a last-ditch-effort of sorts, if memory serves.

The reality is that if you ask 3 different people you're going to get 3 different answers. They're fundamentally the same, just a matter of package management. As far as I'm aware, the current "SOTA" is Poetry. I li

I have to assume it's a separate stack from what is used in production?

I joked about this with a coworker, but I do have to wonder what they actually use for monitoring internally. It would be interesting if they just have a second copy of the prod stack for internal monitoring, or something.

Those short form programming videos perpetuate the parts of this industry I really dislike, particularly the "look you install the latest dependency and things go :rocketship: :rocketship:". They never convey much nuance and are j

What makes something like outdated tech a "surprise", rather than just "reality"? As in it was actively hidden from you, or just not something anyone thought worth mentioning until it came time to plow through the code?

Sorry, I don't mean to imply it's universally supported, but there is support on both sides of the aisle. But the article you linked does indeed say it has had bipartisan support :) > When Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Dan Coat

This is far from perfect, IME. The big problem I have (and maybe there's a solution I don't know about) is that there's no easy way to test getting event data, unless you wanna rebuild the events yourself (which is hardly rel

I've since left my gig with MS systems, but I seem to recall seeing some sort of InTune client on my laptop. Is my memory failing me or is the client just weirdly named?

> unlike calling a function, the compiler's not obligated to set up or tear down a context I guess it depends on what you mean by "context" but the spec is very clear that a block creates scope, and the end removes scope.

Yeah, Tailscale is probably a good bet. If you wanted to get a bit more involved, I have a blog post about my setup with OpenVPN (though it does require a hosted box, which may kinda defeat the purpose of having it locally for OP depending

I agree! I even pointed this out in my comment, but perhaps not clearly :) I think that the way it's done is a net-positive in designing cleaner APIs, but there are times when I've already done a pipeline, and storing the output i

Oh wow, TIL about `Kernel.then/2`. That definitely works around the syntax problem. An aside, the implementation is kind of amusing. It almost seems unnecessary for this to be a macro but maybe the compiler can optimize this a bit more

The JS one does seem to have some more power than the Elixir one. For instance, in Elixir, if it's a bit kludgy to pipe to a second or third argument. I find this often when I want to insert into a map. You can always define more funct

Some answers seem to disagree. I, as a non-lawyer, think as long as the git commits make it clear who authored what, it's a non-issue.

IANAL, but check out this law.stackexchange thread. It pertains to the BSD license, but it's very similar https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/4149/can-one-take-bs...

Yeah - the Github issue seems to take issue with the naming of the file, but the MIT license makes no such requirement. I don't think any license requires the file name, it's just a suggestion.

Heh - a former employer of mine used something similar to this to sync code between laptops and development VMs :) We had a script that made a temporary commit, and pushed to a git repository in the way you describe, then reverted that comm

Can you elaborate, as someone with little AWS experience? Are OIDC based creds just more scoped? What makes them special?

You know, I knew there was a major association between TDD and XP (wonder why!) and I had always heard of XP being Java related, but looking deeper I'm not sure that's has true as I thought
