> 10. The FOSS axiom "More Eyes On The Code" works, but only if the "eyes" are educated. One thing that could help with this is if somebody points an LLM at all these foundational …

Yeah, I found it very interesting how McCullough (Masters of Rome) idolizes Caesar and holds Cicero in contempt, and Harris is exactly the opposite.

AM/PM is bad, but I have a GE microwave which requires you to also set _the date_ when you're setting the clock. How could somebody think that was a good idea? :)

Packages had an incident two days ago, also: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/sn4m3hkqr4vz . I noticed it when a Terraform provider download was failing, citing a 404 from ob…

Yes, there are threshold cryptography schemes with "distributed key generation" [1] in which the parties end up holding shares but the full secret is never known to any party. Then…

If I've already reviewed a PR and the author makes further changes, I definitely prefer to review an add-on commit. If the history is rewritten/rebased, then IME the entire PR need…

I'm a big fan of using containers to distribute and run tools. It's an underappreciated use case. I wrote about its benefits (and drawbacks) a few months ago: https://jonathan.berg…

Thanks for that feedback! I'll update the readme.

Hi, I'm the author. Thanks for taking a look. This is basically a tool to help manage a "Dockerfile" repo (along the lines of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles ), where you b…

Yeah, I'm seeing the same. The branch reflects the new commit, but the PR open for that branch does not show it.

On the contrary: Docker is currently the best way, bar none, of distributing tools like this one to developers. Kudos to the Super Linter developers for doing this right. I wrote a…

Indeed. I went through it all about three years ago and learned a ton (starting from essentially "I have a table saw but I don't know what the miter slots are for"). For people int…

Many great examples here, and my wife and I do many of the same things, but it's not always this easy. If your child is receptive to these things, like the children in the article,…

In other words, it becomes the concern of the person shipping the code, rather than the concern of the person trying to run the code. That's exactly how it should be.
