@sacnoradhq: what did you the person building the build system in the first place? Or the one that actually builds the runner instances themselves that everybody else leverages? What you’re suggesting is certainly the ideal case, but there

Utterly false. I build locally all the time to make sure that the thing works before I commit the code.

For as bad as education is (talking mostly about the US), cybersecurity education is so much worse. Also, since our lawmakers are so far behind the curve on technology which impacts daily life (also talking mostly about the US), if you are

Like it or not (I don’t), but the Electron apps are here to stay. It’s the direction they’ve decided on. Arguing about it does nothing to move the needle forward. It’s a done deal. I imagine that posts about it are simply unproductive. I’ve

I started building websites in 1997, started my first post-college job in 2004, and and have worked my way across the spectrum from user experience backwards through the stack to operations and architecture over the last 25 years. What do I

What should we learn from this? Don’t make yourself a single point of failure. Always have at least two people who have admin access on things. Have emails go to a distribution list of at least 2, not to a single individual. The only news h

I think I take issue with the word “censorship”. Is it really censorship if free speech was never guaranteed in the first place? I mean less the denotative definition and more the connotative definition.

I’ve been watching Google for a long time. And with all of the smart people they have working there, they sure are stupid. Who the hell is steering the ship?

Republicans, for all of their bravado, don’t understand the first fucking thing about Constitution. You can’t have liberty for some without liberty for all. Either you believe in liberty and free speech, or you don’t.

The requester is wrong. You are the project leader. You are the decider when it comes to the project. Do you think this makes your project better? If so, cool. If not, say so. If someone is badgering you, then feel free to charge them money

TLDR: 1. Scammers exist. Fuck those guys. 2. Dumb people are dumb. Both things are true. You can’t call-out one without calling-out the other.

My wife and I live in the US. My kids spend the school year with their mom in Canada, and spend summers, vacations, and many weekends here in the US. We’re only about 100 miles away from each other, but it crosses an international border. F

If you mean geographical location within the same country, sure. If you mean across multiple countries, it gets dramatically more complex. Copyright holders sell streaming rights based on countries and all kinds of other continent negotiati

I was working to solve this exact same problem while I was at AWS on the design team from 2012 to 2014. I had spent the previous two years working on the SDK team (2010-2012). I’m a software engineer, who got his start in user experience, s

After TextMate 1.x stopped being updated in 2010-ish, I moved to Sublime Text which felt very TextMate-y, but was a much better piece of software. Then, in 2020 as the pandemic began, I decided to give Visual Studio Code a try. For this exp

American conservatives are utterly hypocritical and self-inconsistent. The things they believe don’t even pass the sniff test with their own rhetoric. It’s not based on logic. It’s based on emotion. America was founded by the Puritans. It’s

To me this sounds like “I don’t want to do the thing that is obvious and sensible because I just don’t wanna.” Personal liberty? Sure. But not when your personal liberty negatively impacts the rest of society. Just like how you’re not allow

There are a lot of these that I would agree with as well. These days, my daughter is 21, and my son is 17. Here are some things that I’ve learned that I haven’t seen mentioned yet. 1. Don’t make a habit of being quiet because the baby is as

I think this is an interesting discussion to have, and I’m interested to see where the lawyers end up on this. But please don’t start with an organization as utterly biased as the FSF.

I think that too much simplification without empowering people to understand how the pieces work is ultimately a detriment. It’s important that there is a human understands how the stuff works that’s getting shipped to production. You can’t

I disagree that it’s complex for the sake of vendor lock-in. Having spent four years working at AWS I can tell you that it’s complex for two reasons: 1. Some of the stuff is genuinely complex. 2. The software engineers and development manag
