solution is simple: commits get shared privately. distros can build on these private patches. after some point those can be made public (ie commited at upstream)

The best part is: Copilot did not catch the impact/implications of this change in the (automatic) review. Should we continue to keep trusting the AI review provided by Copilot?

AWS has been (blatantly) using Microsoft method of making their way in. Redis, Elasticsearch, whatnot, all follow the same procedure: 1. Here is a managed service. 2. Here is a fork of the managed service where we manage the server (you d

I think they switched to cloud because; - BigCo already is a zero-sum deal, they use Xcode-cloud as a service, which runs back on their servers anyway... (Google, Amazon, Azure, etc) - It was not a long-standing product. Introduced somewher

I originally added a different title: Apple is dropping AFP/TimeMachine support in macOS 27. It seems like somehow got overwritten to the original title of the post. Nevertheless, knowing Apple so far, unless _some_ large-enterprise~y

Although TimeCapsule is more than decade old, it serves nicely with TimeMachine (automatic backups). Sad to see that going away permanently for Apple Silicon.

the disposeware is here. maybe we can call it spongeware (similar to software) which is like a kitchen sponge, one uses it several times until it starts to break, just to be replaced with a similar but different one...

maybe not the call itself but the voicemail for example. can it be "extracted"? another point to make it safer would be sharing the "chat" with the lawyer, this way it becomes media of communication

I liked the author's pragmatic take on the stability. Indeed that running bleeding edge now has implications to greater attack surface as the supply-chain attacks getting more and more common. A nice and sincere excerpt from the recent

I think he filed edges too much that the font on the website is getting thinner. /s I agree the edges _can_ be sharp, I have chosen to use a thin-plastic cover which also doubles as a sticker-holder. Also helps with the "bumps&quo

I love the fact that this guy went through all the hassle (partially) because of the following reddit comment: > There is a zero percent chance of this ever happening.

The best is: You know that you have a major issue when the data (especially ones around commit messages) is empty or noisy. Plus, adding an extra point: When you run git log --oneline --graph and the pattern on the left is more complex than

100% agree to this sentiment. Although Amazon/AWS seems to be overall innovative, amount of ideas and passion killed between the same meeting rooms the article describes as "innovating driving, heated conversations" are imm

TBH there are several posts in HN, one from the AWS CTO (Werner) has the most engagement so far. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47680404 ) Although I liked the Corey Quinn's post much better as it's less ma

I think shellcheck helps quite a lot, you must set type to "sh" (not bash) somewhere in the comments though...

I don't think co-locating with AWS or any other DC in Middle-East would help in this case. Unless you bring your own missile defence network, you are vulnerable. In the case of if you could bring your own missile-defence-network, then

Agreed that Govt/Military runs on AWS/Azure/whatever. They care about "security" in a "virtual" sense, but I presume soon we'll see requirements like: "Must Have: Missile Defence Perimeter"

IMO, rushing things never helps. If possible, I investigate external calls/meetings well in-advance, at worst case, I add 30-minute calendar block before those. (To prepare and install/update things). As a DevOps, I have seen the

Here is the thing, replacing something may be hard or easy. But getting the parts (which are already produced and available for the manufacturers for their "added value" repairs) should be as easy as how they are getting them too.

To be honest, during my ~10 years of experience, I haven't stumbled on any _project_ that has _sufficient_ amount of either testing, static analysis, and/or, where everyone who contributes gives a damn about linter/formatter

I am pretty sure this will get fixed as Amazon had depended on this feature to resolve internal domains through the ACME managed openvpn-service. Rather than overriding global DNS settings which may break on certain hotspot configurations.

I know EU didn't ban chargers, but the common American sentiment somehow molded into that. It is interesting to see how mass-propaganda is playing out right before our eyes...

Having mixed feelings on word "actually" as it is/was one of my favorites. Other stuff like "for instance" and "interestingly" are seem to be getting there too...
