I'm getting so annoyed at companies requiring a phone number and then forcing MFA on me with it. If you're going to force MFA on users give them another option besides receiving a text message or phone call. I don't want to l

CodeQL comes with a bunch of pre-configured queries for the language you're using (at least when running on Github enterprise)

by tossaway9000 5y ago
CodeQL will do this for some languages, the kind of bugs I've seen it identify have been pretty impressive, I'm sure there are some other static analyzers that can do this as well.

I don't know why someone would want to waste time arguing about code style. Standardizing on things like `cargo fmt`, `go fmt`, and `terraform fmt` remove a ton of nitpicking out the gate. The javascript world can't seem to make u

I see the business befit in serverless in a lot of ways but I don't think its necessarily a good thing for developers, its a good thing for business in some cases but its highly proprietary.

I came to mention this exact issue. I've seen this trip up people in the past, in one case a CI/CD system running Linux was used to produce a project deployed to a mostly windows environment this didn't cause any issues until

Double down on your strongest skill (sounds like Python) brush up on some of the changes (e.g. Python 3isms) and find a role where you can use it, all the new shiny stuff can come later.

no update since August 31, 2016 seems pretty dead, though I guess there is someone around to renew the domain name, etc.

Much love for processing! Back when I was starting school and learning programming I also picked up an Arduino Duemilanove and learned Wiring and Processing which went together like peanut butter and jam. What an amazing time. I recall gett

Update: protocol buffers look more promising than I initially gave it credit and there is a Rust implementation.

This is why I will never install an npm module with sudo or globally with -g You can get around that requirement by having a specific location set aside for global modules (I use ~/.config/node/node_modules) and then putting

It's not a "private" key if its shared. Only the end user needs to know the private key details. Consider the usecase of generating a user their initial password for a service, this almost always results in the user needing t

How about you fix the flaky tests? Am I insane for thinking that? The whole concept of "just reboot it" or "re run it again" and "fixing" the problem is at least one reason the modern world sits on a mountain o

Are there any means to detect that a cosmic ray caused such a crash without ECC memory? I recall that Drop Box had some issues early on with memory corruption due to how many low-end PCs ran Drop Box. I recall coming across a more detailed
