Hermes Lite is not _so_ expensive and decent open source project: http://hermeslite.com/

It depends on the VCS you use. I don't know any ways to manage read permissions, such as allowing a person to checkout one directory but not another, though you can do that per branch on git.

But there are many ways to manage write permissions - limit the directories to which engineers are allowed to push code. E.g. if you use Git, this can be done with Gitolite, which is a popular hosting server.

Gitolite has very flexible hooks support, especially with so-called "Virtual Refs" (or VREFs)[1]. It is out of the box and has support to manage write permissions per write path [2]. You can go even further and use your own custom binary for VREF to "decide" if a user is allowed to push certain changes. One possible option - read incoming changed files, read metainformation from the repository itself (e.g., CODEOWNERS file at the root of the repo), and decide if push should be accepted. GitHub has CODEOWNERS [3], which behaves similarly.

It's worth noting that most monorepos won't reach the same size as repositories from Google, Uber, or other tech giants. Some companies introduce new services every day, but for some, the number of services remains steady.

If a company has up to 100 services, there won't be VCS scale problems, LSP will be able to fit the tags of the entire codebase in a laptop's memory, and it is probably _almost_ fine to run all tests on CI.

TL;DR not every company will/should/plan to be the size of Google.

Buy used Prusa! Their printers are reliable machines, easy to fix or upgrade. I have seen MK3 or even Prusa Mini (which is a newer option) for ~150 EUR. Still great options for anyone who wants to go into this hobby.

Sadly no..., I browsed quickly and found this post https://slate.com/business/2011/12/are-mutants-human.html which leads to a dead link to the podcast. Did not listen to the podcast (yet).

I also expected somebody from this community to enlight me :)

Sounds insane. But what is more surprising to me - is why dolls were taxed differently than other toys. At first glance, it looks like stupid rules force to play silly games.

Honestly, I've noticed how sensitive I am to caffeine when I have reduced my caffeine intake. I think that it is important to clean the body before starting to observe, understand, and make conclusions about how a particular thing affects the body. Let it be caffeine, alcohol, or anything else.

It also requires an internet connection. Which also limits the audience.

Obviously this material is not available for everyone. But I'm glad the author created it in a form as it is.

> Do people still use RSS feeds?

Daily. For me RSS feed is the only option to pick what I want to read instead of reading what promoter wants me to read.

If there are other ways - I would be happy to know.

That was my first impression too. Curious what is the cost of wallpaper.

Google is paying because Firefox is popular. It is a chicken & egg problem.

Last year I took headphones + power bank and watched presentations live on my phone while waiting in a queue at another auditorium or commuting. Worked well.

My guess - probably they have more work places in government which runs Gnome what makes sense to them invest into it.

That is exacly what previous commenter meant - developers a bad at setting correct serverity for logs.

This becomes even a bigger proglem in huge organizations where each team has own rules so consistency vanishes.

I am interested. Do you have any material to share where I could "look at IBM"? Thanks.

This piece looks really nice and I almost want it!

But have no idea what to do with it. What are your plans folks? How you are using similar hardware?

Some people just love routine. Just recently I have listened interview with local Olympic swimmer Giedrius Titenis (not in English, so won't share). He mentioned that he liked to swim in a pool the same n*100 meter distances multiple times each day. Repeat and repeat and repeat. This allows person to compare current result with previous. Measure time and think "oh, I made in xy seconds but still had some power left, I can do better next time".

I did the same. Plus also I'm using on my Android phone. Replaces Dropbox completely unless I want to share something with other people. But for that case I usually use Sharing feature from Synology NAS.

Is this still a case?

The first comment in thread is from 2020, the last - from 2021. Now where I live is 2023.

I don't have any relationship with Dropbox, but we should be precise that this information might be outdated.

Same with bicycle repair. Each major brand has own proprietary toolset.

While reading the post and comments I also was raising the same question. What I'm going to try - add separate facts from technical books.

I like reading tech books which are not directly related to my job as SWE. E.g. I'm not working with Bitcoin or ML, but found those books very interesting. However after a year pass - I barely can remember little bits which I've found very interesting when read the books.

I think adding some facts to Anki cards would help me to remember those certain things. I guess difficult part would be to detect the fact which is worth to be added as a card. Since while reading the book - these things seems obvious. Going to try anyways.

150$ from "thin air" every month is nice addition in developing nation. Not something what would change the lifestyle but something what you can easily spend on things you like - books, courses, etc.

Back in my studies a class mate asked to help him with coding assignment. I did and got 10 units of local money. Then another friend asked the same. The word started to spread, prices increased and algorithmic coding assignments become my source of income. After couple of years I have had all more than a half of assignments solved which were given by lecturers from 1st to 3rd years of studies. If anybody contacted me, there was a high chance I have already solved exactly that problem and simply needed just copy the code and collect money. It was a good life since I really enjoyed solving those tasks.

That was a shady thing - I literally helped to cheat the system. But these were times in our market.

Despite that this "job" lasted for couple of years only, the best income was that it pushed my coding experience years ahead compared to my peers. I was way more better than most of them. At least at coding :-)

There is also value of 3.5mm input on the speaker - it reduces battery drain a lot (useful when camping for example, mine lasted longer almost 50%). All three BT speakers I was able to find in my flat (different brands) have the line-in connector. Checked just now because I was curious.

As non-native English speaker I was confused if this is solid site or some marginal source.

Hey purpleidea, I was listening your presentation(s) about mgmt-config & graphs on Fosdem and these were very entertaining. Good work!

Some time later tried to use it and it seemed project was abandoned. Not sure if it was but there were no recent commits and I felt quite sad. Happy to see the project is back to life!

There are NATO fighters & tanks of other alliance members continuously deployed in these regions.

This is beautiful! And must be even more beautiful from technology side.

I have recently became interested into procedural generation as my free time hobby. As a backend software engineer I was looking for a side project with no commitment. Which would be flexible to apply different types of technologies, boring and interesting at the same time. "The Forever Project" [1] article describes motivation behind it.

Since I had no experience with Rust, game development & procedural generated stuff, combining everything sounded pretty covering my "Forever Project" theme. I'm currently going through Rust Rougelike tutorial[2] to get basic understanding how games are being developed & maps are generated. I like the tutorial a lot because it covers so much different topics. From game dev, few libraries, to different approaches of maps generators.

There is a lot of content there but I'm already raising questions to myself where to look next? What should I learn & focus so I could deepen my knowledge in procedural generated content? I understand I always can read random tutorials (what I'm doing) and try to glue something from them. But maybe you have advises or more guided content as books, long tutorials, courses?

Thanks.

I had UHK and build Ergodox EZ since I wanted to try thumb clusters and vertically staggered layout. Honestly after UHK the Ergodox was too big. I am not able to reach most keys without pulling my hand. Even from 6 thumb cluster keys I was using only 2. Though I liked thumb clusters and vertically staggered layout hence switched to custom built Kyria split keyboard instead.

I've started subscribing Wired in 2011 and I pretty much liked it for couple of years. For me it seems once Conde Nast purchased the magazine the quality has dropped.
