This is going to be an awesome way to optimize Zapier usage. I'm not a huge AI guy but love the idea of sprinkling a little on top of my existing zaps to make them even more useful! For example I have a zap right now that every time I

My only complaint is it goes full wide screen. If he put a limit on the width the text expands to so it was readable on large screens that would be perfect.

I see a lot of people mentioning home-manager / nix in the comments. I tried drinking the nix kool-aid and home-manager and all that was a little too much more me and landed on a hybrid approach: https://github.com/son

Not completely a red flag... I've only been through layoffs twice but both times the cuts the company made were pretty logical in terms of investing more in the existing profitable parts of the company and cutting things that were bets

I like the genera idea of not using the big companies and forcing them into compliance but if the France government is anything like the USA gov I can't imagine them running a self-hosted solution like NextCloud at the same level of se

I wouldn't trust my computer to be the pre-commit judge if my code is good or not. It looks nothing like the target environment and has plenty of modifications. I'll trust CI to do that check for me.

But if we are comparing apples to apples, you would just use AWS provided stuff for EKS right? > K8s can go a lot of different ways depending on the type of LB k8s flexibility shouldn't be counted against it here. If you ar

Haha, I thought the same thing until it wasn't! It turns out there are a lot of humans in the world and if you are unfortunate enough to get a large portion of them to start utilizing the software you write you'll find some bottl

Yeah, it'd be crazy if sites like Reddit, SurveyMonkey, Dropbox, Spotify, Instagram, Pinterest, Lyft, and Sentry were built on a silly little prototyping language like Python instead of a real programming language. Right?

I think I've only worked at companies that under-hired. At small start-ups it that they were worried about runway and so made everyone wear many hats and overwork / crunch on things. At large orgs its just difficult to hire and

I saw a tweet yesterday where someone with 4 years of experience was looking for a Staff Engineer position. One thing the engineering community doesn't lack is confidence in our abilities, even if we aren't there yet.

Yeah, I think its things like this that make it hard to adopt nix. If you search for a package on search.nixos.org it tells you to install it using `nix-env`. All I want is a way to say "I want jq, kubectl, and terraform installed&quo

But I don't want it temporarily, I want it all the time. So I want to be able to make it available for future me too, that way next time I try to use it I don't have to run `nix-shell -p <package>` again

by sontek 5y ago
Yeah, this could be a NixOS vs every other OS problem. Even when files are declared it was my understanding that `nix-env` was the way to install the file? For example, docs I've referenced in the past are here: https://ni

Yeah, the UX for the new search although faster is more of a problem for me. When it returns `legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ripgrep` that makes me think "oh no, I don't want the legacy package. I want the good one", but no non

For me it is a context switching issue. If I'm reaching for a package it is because I was in the middle of something that needed it. I'm not sitting there thinking "What packages might I need some day?". So if nix cou

by sontek 5y ago
Yeah, the hard part is maintaining a file just to have the tools you want is a major hurdle that is not reasonable for most people to jump over. If I'm working I might do something like this: curl example.com/data.json | jq

I love the idea of nix but the inconsistency and developer experience is terrible. I want to suggest people use it but there is too many rough edges currently. For example, if you want to install a package the old way, you'll install

A layer of privacy shouldn't be downvoted or considered complexity. If someone chooses to not be tracked that is not something to look down on. If you care about privacy, you'll pick flows that all your users to maintain their pr

I'd expect most 2fa to be through an authenticator app (google authenticator for example), SMS, or a physical device like yubikey. I don't think I've seen anyone use e-mail for 2fa. All the devices I listed above are in rea

How are magic links higher security than passwords + two-factor auth? A magic link gives an attacker the ability to compromise any sites using magic links as long as they get access to the e-mail. 2fa + password means they could compromi
