    Very cool. I've been using worktrees a lot recently at work, mostly reworking tools or CI jobs that try to manage branches into just using a worktree and cleaning up after yourself…

    I regret not finding an opportunity to check the old place out on one of my many visits to the SF office, but it's awesome to see that the new place is finally coming to a close. D…

    Heya Dave! I see your name pop up every once in awhile in various places. We first connected on that MUD many many years ago if you don't recall.

    vscode.dev is still for local development, not remote. It uses browser filesystem APIs to access your local filesystem. Whereas code-server runs on the remote and exposes a web ser…

    This was an incredible resource back when CBVs were first introduced. While I tended to prefer function-based views (when I was still heavily using Django), this page was the first…

    Cf has really mature trust and safety as well as security teams and tools. I've no doubt they've taken bad actors into account considering all of the other offerings they have that…

    These things are very cool. I buy wood from a local wood yard every year or two (I don't use much here in Texas, but we do love our firepit and fireplace when it's cool enough), bu…

    As far as "vote rings" are concerned, the CTO (and others) would emphatically remind people not to upvote to ensure we didn't end up getting flagged.

    Have you seen gron[0]? It's similar: flattens JSON documents to make them easily greppable. But it also can revert (ie, ungron) so you can pipe json to gron, grep -v to remove some…

    The tweet is misleading. He mounted his TV on top of his thermostat[0]; and I'm sure he knew full-well that it meant he wouldn't be able to change the temperature without the app. …

    They do. You can turn them. Turns out this individual decided to mount his TV over his Nest[0]. So changing the temperature without the app requires removing the TV. [0] https://tw…

    While we haven't relaxed the 1MB restriction, we have made some changes to the way we compress and distribute your code to the edge. I'd encourage you to try again, and our new CLI…

    I've been at Cloudflare just over a year now, and if there's one message that's been drilled into my head it's Trust. We understand that we're in the position that we're in largely…

    Looks like the screenshots on Github are outdated. I just ran it locally and it does print out offsets in a new left-most column. edit: Added in this commit: https://github.com/sha…

    I'm curious on what's missing from Cloudflare Workers to allow you to remove the API Gateway usage. We're actively looking for more advanced use cases so we can make sure we priori…

    It's something we're iterating on, and the results are so far looking promising; but there are a few scenarios in which they may not work (yet). If you reach out to your SE they sh…
