It’s another example of the British establishment and media blaming “computer glitches” and “the system”. A buggy accounting system on its own cannot cause such a disaster, unlike a buggy avionics system or a Therac-25. This scandal would n

The gist of it (pun intended) is that GitHub issues GitHub-issued (not issued by your cloud provider!) OIDC tokens to your job runs, and then your job exchanges those tokens for permissions with your cloud provider, which you have configure

One of my previous energy providers (British Gas, owned by Centrica) didn’t allow an email address to be used for more than one physical address. When I moved and tried to “set up” my online account I kept getting HTTP 500s when trying to v

As a Western European, American tipping seems out of control and arbitrary. I tip the waiter but not the cook or the cleaner. I tip the cab driver but not the bus driver or the train conductor. I tip a bell boy (maybe a maid too?) but not t

YAML is just some data, like JSON or CSV. Ask yourself whether you'd use a third-party JSON templating or CSV templating tool, or whether you'd use your shop's language of choice and write a program to spit out the generated

Helm and Kustomize are absolutely atrocious tools. The job of these tools is ultimately to generate a bunch of data structures compatible with Kubernetes API schemas. That's it. Take some input, go brrr, and spit out some serialized da

I am in the process of getting this running on a Kubernetes cluster in my home. That’s where I throw all self-hosted containerised applications these days. But there’s a bit of friction. Their entrypoint script makes a lot of assumptions an

I strongly agree with this. I find that I'm okay with shell scripts which invoke repetitive individual commands, run complex piped commands, or run a sequence of commands with little-to-no control flow. However, then I find that people

For me? No. I work somewhere with thin clients which log in to one OS, which is an OS I do not develop for. I end up remoting in from that OS to another one. It’s a bit clumsy. On some occasions I’ve been unable to do a thing easily and m

That article starts with the premise that “it’s a feature, not a bug” then goes on to describe a whole bunch of things I consider to be anti-features of a packaging system that has a flat namespace. The first section says it discourages for

“Living wage”, “grievance”, and “contract” are so-called “union words” according to this training. My mouth is agape. These are words and phrases I openly use with colleagues in exactly the setting the video implies and I’m an non-unionised
