    I've wanted to do this for a while. Thanks for detailing your setup! I hope one day I find the time to try it. I've also always yearned for more usability from just the command lin…

    This so much. The number of times I’ve had to defend someone else’s customers let alone my own is exhausting. And that dynamic is only allowed within close circles. I’ve found once…

    I’ve also always wanted this, but what I’ve realized after noodling on it a while is I’d really just prefer a way to use git, and push markdown documents to the Notes System. I don…

    Sorry if I'm being thick, but why not just cache the response? If you are guessing at the data anyway, what's the difference? Why set up an entire speculative execution engine / ru…

    Hey cool project! I had the same need, and solved it a very different way. I set up a wireguard server on a publicly accessible VPS. The neat part about using "lscr.io/linuxserver/…

    > punish the grumpy ones in favor of the people-pleasers, that this crap happens This isn’t exclusive to technology, but I see this all the time at my large organization. As a grum…

    So this is a config standard for the infrastructure underneath something like remote vscode / devcontainers?

    For the first bit, all I can think is a compose file. Also podman can run k8s configs locally, which I personally hope all of that eventually washes into the same thing. It feels l…

    So, I know very little about this devcontainer spec. Can I just ask, what value does this spec provide that a simple docker image containing the necessary tools does not already pr…

    Historically, C compilers attempted to build the list of all symbols in one pass of the files. Sometimes, functions may call other functions in the same code file. This required th…

    I’ve done this to automate and… err… “template” multiline string values back into valid yaml for proper indenting. Works great, the issue is explaining to anybody why it was necess…

    Hey this is very cool. I did something similar with Kubernetes, work has some OSE clusters that will generate DNS for you, it works great and the devs love using it. It’s a little …

    Are you me? I’ve been working on the same thing for a few months now. Not only is it more customizable / less complicated than helm / other solutions, but GNU gettext is almost 30?…

    My wife has a 2022 VW. If the door is not closed and you shift into drive, you also get a very loud annoying beep and visuals. Not only that, the brakes engage and the car LOCKS IT…

    Use the service resource in Kubernetes to order a load balancer in different clouds. You need different tags, they function and are configured differently, and you still need to le…

    For folks who aren't aware, Ben Eater has a great channel on Youtube also based on the 6502. Basically, build a computer from literal spare ICs. Every video is nearly a chapter out…

    It's more about what happens once there is an issue. I agree if something works and remains unchanged it will probably stay reliable, the issue is once you introduce a change, even…

    If it went viral, yes. I agree most of the time I feel like the world is run by evil folks twiddling their fingers in secret. This is not one of those times. I agree there's a chan…

    I try to subscribe to the idea that if you cannot adequately describe your commit in a small number of characters (~50 is plenty I feel), your commit is likely too complicated. One…

    I think people are missing the forest for the trees with this. In my view, the reason Docker has all the hype is because I can look at a Dockerfile, and know what's up. In seconds.…

    From a quick skim of the PRs, it looks like OP was using CString everywhere, and messing with pointers in unsafe blocks, called from safe blocks of code. Generally speaking, these …

    The fact is, most people can't write bug free code, that is also maintainable. It's a skill that takes years to hone. Even someone that is smart enough to understand all possible c…

    Mine uses pandoc and core utils to convert markdown to html and shoves it into an existing page template to create a blog post. I could add menu / link tracking pretty easily but I…

    I agree. I like the idea of visualizing previous item in some way, maybe faded instead? Should give the same effect.
