Just go to Settings > General > Screen Capture, and turn off Full-Screen Previews - which fully restores the previous behaviour. Personally I prefer the new behaviour. But eitherwa…

Everywhere I've worked over the years (35+), and in conversation with peers (outside of work), refactor means to change the structure of an existing program, while retaining all of…

It's an open source project — and quite a popular one, at that — and you are literally replying to a comment that specifies the changes made to fix this particular issue — you can …

Feel free to substitute my use of the word "company", with "company / organisation / foundation". Plus others I'm surely forgetting. I meant 'company' in the sense of a legal entit…

This comment explains the reason for its existence quite well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43605846 Companies fund things because they're useful or necessary. My guess is …

There is a significant amount of naivety here. I don't say that in any kind of negative way: it's purely an observation (as a dev who has built a lot of different software over the…

Ex-games-programmer here: I used to code the C64/NES/etc many moons ago... From the article: > The 6502 is a microprocessor that is used in the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) …

Ah right, junior dev for a year. Wow, how amazing. Plenty of room for you to 10x many times over then. Over the years, I’ve met plenty of folk who have dabbled with software develo…

Unfortunately there’s no bans for stuff like that. But that’s why I call it out: yes, exactly, it degrades the conversation when someone is preaching about a new tech, and how it’s…

> Yes, I'm a developer. It's interesting that you describe yourself as a developer now. Because just three months ago, in your first post [1] to HN, you said: > I'm somewhat non-te…

It's ok not to like Rust. But that doesn't make your library native at all — just as Tauri is not native, neither is Sans, and that is the point being made here.

> The c64 could decompress the data faster than the Datasette could play it back, so there was no processing wait. C64 fast loaders generally didn't use any compression whatsoever.…

I think it was actually normalised long before container-based development was even a thing. It's always just been standard common practice — both in development and for live deplo…

This ^^ Just avoid putting secrets in the global environment if it is a concern, and instead just pass necessary secrets locally in the environment when launching a specific app.

Ideally you would fetch values directly from Vault, e.g. using the REST API, ideally with SSL (but that depends on the environment your app is running in /etc.) or using the vault …

> Is this... normal? I don't understand why they might want to serialize/access all of my env vars. Does anyone have a suggestion for that behaviour? All processes get a copy of al…

Erm, it's not redirection, because, like I said: DNS has no redirection — not in the sense that HTTP does. If you don't understand this, then you are perhaps lacking some knowledge…

> That doesn’t correct the situation in which the device is ignoring DHCP DNS requests. That's the first time such a thing has been mentioned in this thread. But I now get what you…

Previously, PiHole used /etc/dnsmasq.d/ with best practice being to put one's own additional config, or overrides, in separate file(s) in that folder. PiHole v6 appears to have mos…
