    Totally random, but did you use Flourishlib (PHP) at some point ~15 years ago? Your name sounded familiar from a long-ago open source project. Either way, congrats on your hard wor…

    I have a few open source projects that have lasted for 10+ years, and I can’t agree more with approach #2. Ideally you want your scripting to handle of the weird gotchas of differe…

    Yet most people end up liking that car and the balance of features, looks and price. Sure, they’d love to not pay for premium gas and have the extra trunk space, but in the end the…

    ChannelLock makes good ones with tight tolerances, smooth adjustment and accurate measurements in metric and standard (one on each side). I often use them as a first attempt and if…

    I know various companies have been looking into sponsoring his work for iOS, since it can make a big difference in the edit/build/run cycle since linking times can be fairly high. …

    Your statement is correct. BadTLS explicitly exists to test certs that you generally should not , but often do, run into in the wild. As a result, most software handles these in po…

    If you are looking for some other bad TLS configs, I run a site that augments this at https://badtls.io/ .

    Could provide a link with some info? I tried to look around to confirm but didn’t find anything. This sounds like it could be really useful.

    Nah, ST is going well. Jon is the mastermind behind it all, and Ben has been doing excellent work, and Tim is rounds out the ST team. On the Merge side, Dylan and David are hard at…

    Off topic, but nice to see you around here after years since we’ve met in person! Also nice to see other engineers from NH represented. I’ve also done gigs for 7, 5, 2 years, one f…

    How big is the app you are working on? How long does an incremental build take including linking and signing? 30 incremental builds an hour sounds pretty high to me, unless you’ve …

    My understanding is the newer 5k by LG is far less troublesome - as shared with me who’s had three different units over the past 5(?) years. I’ve had one for the past year with zer…

    We recently moved to wireless charging to reduce the number of cables that break and have to be replaced. I don’t need the port to be removed, but I doubt I would regularly use USB…

    I see LE as generally trading low cost certs for expensive labor. It’s great when you have scale and need hundreds of certs. I care more about making it easy for people to pay me t…

    Having dealt with a fair bit of CI on a decent number of services (AppVeyor, Travis, CircleCI and GitHub Actions), I’ve come to the exact same conclusion. CI is a script, and the Y…

    One of the features I am most excited about it tab multi-select. The simplicity of using it versus traditional pane management is really key, in my opinion. Instead of having to ma…

    Just to clarify, it is build 4100 that adds native Apple Silicon support. We weren’t originally able to include it because we had to backport Mac arm64 support to Python 3.3, since…
