    Sure. And that’s positive in the context of this thread.

    I don’t see it as too dogmatic. I see it as taking the ambiguity out of the decision whether to squash or not. Just always squash into master. There are plenty of options to make c…

    My guess is that the difference is the tax on a annual Pro subscription.

    As of PostgreSQL 12, whether the optimization fence is used or not is controlled with MATERIALIZED and NOT MATERIALIZED.

    Agreed. I just tried out the Dash hot key and it’s basically the same. I’m tempted to claim the Alfred integration is better but that’s probably just me being a user of Alfred.

    For me, the combination of Dash and Alfred is the productivity boost. Alfred makes it very easy to search documentation in Dash. You can have unique keywords in Alfred to target sp…

    SSHing from one remote server to another won’t be possible in a lot of environments due to network segmentation. For example, it shouldn’t be possible to hop from one host to anoth…

    Several things helped her accept the situation. 1. We regularly share photos through private photo albums. This allows her the same exposure to photos of the grandchildren as socia…

    My wife and I have done similar. We privately share photos. It took a bit for my mom to get over the fact that she can’t post pictures of her grandkids on Facebook but I was eventu…

    Check out OneNote. Its shared notebooks should scale to 25-50 users. At a past employer, we used OneNote successfully at that scale instead of a wiki type solution. OneNote has a d…

    Exactly this. I also don’t ask permission because I consider this type of refactoring an implicit and fundamental responsibility.

    Ha. Nope.

    It sounds like we've had very similar experiences. The fact that what you've described is so similar to what I've seen may say something. There are reasons to have a bespoke billin…

    After spending years maintaining a home grown billing system, I recommend against rolling your own. It's frustrating to spend time adding yet another hack to account for some new u…

    Default deny egress is an important step in limiting impact. It can be tough though.

    Regarding Sorbet and Rails, I recommend Tapioca [1]. The Rails app that I worked on had a few edge cases Tapioca didn't cover so I wrote a simple script to load the Rails app and g…

    My experience with Tailwind + ViewComponent has been great as well. I've also had a lot of success with adding Sorbet typing to the view components. I often use Sorbet enums as vie…

    This has been my experience using Sorbet. I sometimes get annoyed when I get stuck screwing around with the RBI files. Then I get in the flow and remember how fast Sorbet allows me…

    Comment #29273273

    I've gotten a lot of value from integrating Sorbet into a non-trival 15 year old Rails app. The gradual nature of the typing is very nice. I've never written TypeScript but I suspe…

    I understand your point. I'd expect the old version to have been reviewed when it was introduced into the system just as the new version should be. Of course, that doesn't guarante…

    Security mailing lists. GitHub has security alerts. Good old fashioned RSS. For example, rubygems.org supports RSS for releases. GitHub Release pages also support RSS. An easy way …

    Another option is to use a cloud storage service that supports fine grained access control (e.g. write-only vs read-only) and retention polices.

    How does traffic reach or leave the machine if a network level firewall is restricting access? It seems I have a fundamental misunderstanding of something.

    Comment #27675684

    If I understand correctly, the attack can be mitigated with the appropriate level of firewall rules. Both ingress and egress traffic should be blocked by default and selectively al…

    I've actually been experimenting with something similar to what adrianpike describes. Basecamp is home to all higher level product/business stuff. In part, that's because everyone …
