It’s even worse, if somebody rebase-merges a pull request that you authored (thereby creating a new commit that you did not author), GitHub will show you as the author (without a separate committer, like it normally does when author and com

Not Just Bikes talks about zoning in the US vs Dutch cities in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnKIVX968PQ . My impression was that the US has more restrictive regulations on what can be built.

This was such an amazing read. Getting nervous about not being able to diff things is so relatable!

I'm still not entirely convinced that serving apps closer to users solves more problems than it creates, but I am always impressed by the fly.io blog posts. The writing style makes them a joy to read.

Great to see this being open sourced! Every project that relies on a Postgres database should put this in their CI pipeline, it's that good.

Given that the cohort id is computed client-side, FLoC also sounds like a nice opportunity to fool trackers. Why not send a random cohort id with every request? In the worst case they’ll fall back to conventional tracking techniques, in the

This part is about batch jobs that we start, not about daemons. The APT package would take about a minute to install, but some of these batch jobs are started by a user interaction, and we can't delay them for that long.

What we do at Channable is build our packages with Nix, push them to Cachix, and record the Nix store path. (CI does that automatically for release builds.) Then we use Ansible to declare that that is the store path that we want to realize

99.9 percent uptime for pods? That's 10 minutes downtime per week. We use simple VMs (on Google Cloud) at work and deploy services to them using Nix, and they have much less downtime than this. Does Kubernetes make it so difficult to d
