We use other runners (Blacksmith), and it hasn't helped, still hard down all day long. Brutal outage. As a side note, I started getting these symptoms (actions staying queued forev…

Yeah who knows, would be interesting to hear an inside take if any readers here are also GH devs! They're at 93.91% uptime over the past 90 days, according to https://mrshu.github.…

It's honestly insane how terrible their reliability is. Over the past 4 weeks, 8 days with GitHub Actions outages, many of them multi-hour outages: >3 hours on each of July 9th, Ju…

Hmm really? Even on the Wikipedia page for 7 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/7 ), one of the first things it says is “7 is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often …

This is great :) Also if anyone else is hitting New Yorker paywalls and can't read this, just disable JavaScript and reload.

Ah brutal. Has it got worse recently? Been years since I’ve taken the train in Germany, but they used to be pretty good IMO.

Huh really? Whenever I’ve taken the train in Germany it’s been pretty punctual, and looking at the board that’s been the case for most trains. But maybe I just got lucky and/or it’…

I hope so, but for different reasons. Agreed they spit out plenty of gibberish at the moment, but they’ve also progressed so far so fast it’s pretty scary. If we get to a legitimat…

I want to be able to easily read and understand configuration without having to pop it into a converter. The YAML I encounter in the wild is ~80% pure block style, ~20% mixed (with…

Don’t have any experience with them.

For sure, but most YAML you actually encounter does not use much in the way of JSON syntax, it looks a lot more like this: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/wp-content/uploads/…

Fair, YAML has a lot of usability warts, and those suck too. Although personally I really do hate how tough it is to tell apart arrays and objects, at least with the most common YA…

I’m a fan of JSON5. A common criticism is “we’ve already got YAML for human readable config with comments,” but IMO YAML’s readability sucks, it’s too hard to tell what’s an object…

They’re probably downloading from a server in the states, being much further away makes a big difference with a massive download.

I think you’re reading way, way too much into this. Read the piece and it seems like just a goofy little oddball story, makes for a light and enjoyable read, I’m really not picking…

Agreed, it’s a lose-lose situation really. But the reason most companies just settle is that going to trial is so expensive, and the American legal system allows these frivolous la…

You can see why, though. Even in this case where they thoroughly won, and got damages, the damages were just $225K, and they probably spent millions on legal fees, employee/founder…

Ah fair, definitely a very different environment than what I’ve worked in! Have only worked on SaaS, where all forms of testing (automated and manual) are a thing we do internally,…

I enjoyed the humour, and the content. Personally I wouldn’t change it - it’s kind of a click-bait title, but I never would have read the article if it had a boring title, and I am…

Indeed, and it’s clearly stated in the article: > Safemode is the satellite equivalent of a blue screen of death. It’s about avoiding safemode, and more generally about the end-to-…

I’ve never used it, but I’ve used the Starbucks app a bunch. Order on the app when I’m 5-10 mins away, and can just roll up and grab my food/drink, vs waiting in line, ordering/pay…

The successful companies that came out of the dot com bubble era actually proved their business viability before getting major investment, though. Amazon is one of the most famous …

Agreed, the AI bubble is very, very real. Not that LLMs are all hype, they’re certainly impressive with useful applications, but AI companies are getting insane valuations with zer…
