I've never seen a USB-C cable that didn't charge all my devices with all my chargers. OK, maybe one that came with an HP screen and was clearly labeled as "data only". I think this will make cables interchangeable in mos

Does anyone use that? It's nice to have when I want to access my data from the web, which is never, and it's not worth the loss of security. But I imagine the FBU wouldn't like an end-to-end encrypted iCloud Photos at all.

The one good feature Apple Music has is the "export" feature. Spotify makes it a pain, Apple just lets you make an archive of your whole library instantly. Sorry about your old library. Don't trust Spotify either! You can dow

Copyright has issues, but "not paying for any of it" isn't the solution.

There's no way any public library near me has more than 10% of what I listen to currently. They have famous bands and mainstream albums from my country and that's it. I hate most of it.

If I bought every song I've listened to over the past 5 years, I would have paid thousands.

I've never seen a search box that couldn't actually handle input before, but Apple Music made it. If I click in the search box and start typing, the box will lose focus at some random time and all my next keystrokes will count as

You could allocate only "software update" capability to one group, "execution" to another, and have a permission system for deciding who can do what.

Sounds like the system would be simpler if we removed root and gave capabilities to the sudoers instead. Edit: why does the disabled root account allocate so much RAM?

You can keep the credentials in a password manager. Presumably the sysadmin already uses the same corporate PM for his regular credentials, so this doesn't increase risk much. We're a small org but I'd be pretty annoyed if we

Use the script in your regular CI/CD pipeline. Just add arguments for things that vary between GitHub runners and local machines, like secrets and paths.

French producers complain of unfair negotiations with large supermarket corporations. Multinationals can win against distributors, but it's much harder for smaller local farms.

Is it really worth staying in a team that doesn't? Sounds like you'll spend more time fixing bugs than creating features.

> E.g. in python functions from imported modules easily litter your namespace `import *` isn't recommended. I only use it in `__init__.py` when I want a flat package that exposes symbols implemented in multiple submodules.

It took me days to set up my team’s CI/CD pipeline with GitHub’s existing features. If I started from a simple mailing list, it would take months of full-time work to add automated build steps with dependencies between steps, caching

That's an argument for self-hosting, not for mailing lists. What you're describing is GitLab.

Current mailing list software can't. Of course you could control a CI/CD system with a Nokia 3310 if you wanted, but why spend the effort when CI/CD systems already have all the right features? Unless OP is actually advocatin

Cryptocurrencies have huge market caps though. If they crash (like the Luna disaster last week), that has to have some kind of impact, right?
