I’ve been using CI/CD pipelines for years now - GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, you name it. Like most developers, I treated them as configuration files that “just work.” You write a YAML file, push it, and somehow your code gets built, tested, and deployed. But I never really understood what was happening behind the scenes. That changed when I needed to set up CI/CD for an air-gapped environment at work - no access to GitHub Actions ....

When it comes to LED matrices, I’m sort of famous for not actually having a lab setup (see: posts tagged with RGBMatrixEmulator and RGBMatrixEmulator itself ) and prefer to emulate in software. However, this week, I got to play with a real Raspberry Pi again, and it wasn’t just the usual “flash an SD card, download some software, push some pixels”. I got to dig into the guts of Python, Cython, and how the two are connected after Pillow (....

Na ukončenie vojny na Ukrajine stačí jedna jediná veta: "vojna na Ukrajine bola vyprovokovaná". Celá provojnová propaganda totižto stojí na miliónkrát opakovanej lži o "nevyprovokovanej a neoprávnenej" agresii Ruska. OBSE ale zaznamenala provokácie na Donbase týždeň pred ŠVO. Vojna teda bola vyprovokovaná a teda vojenská podpora Ukrajiny stráca opodstatnenie. Aj sankcie proti Rusku treba zrušiť, keďže sú neoprávnené.

I’ve started designing custom film cameras, and needed tools to understand what kind of tolerances and imperfections can I get away with when guessing focusing distances. And more importantly, what kind of image would a lens create, and how the field of view, depth of field, focal length and aperture would correspond across different film formats. I haven’t really found good tools online, so I created some myself. Hope they can help someone....

I thought this take from Bret Taylor about where we are in the AI rollout [1:30:13] was pretty good: "We are like in the 1997 era of making agents. I found this article for Siera summit about creating websites in 1997, and there was this Wired article [...], and it was basically about banks spending 23 million dollars to add transactional support to their website, like adding a login form basically. And then you fast forward to the la....

It took the whole night to download but it did finally download and I am now running Tahoe 26.1. So far most things seem to be working find, but somewhat worryingly the vpn app is behaving a bit strangely. I connects but none of the buttons in the interface work. The weird thing is that the issues started happening right before I installed the updates. After the OS update I updated the vpn app, but the issues persist. And people wonder wh..

Looks like the worldo breakages aren’t quite over yet. My MacBook Air M4 just kernel panic’d and crashed while I was using VScode pushing code. Gemini seems to think it’s something to do with low level hardware. This kernel panic was caused by an unexpected and unrecoverable error in the system's low-level hardware management software, likely concerning the Accessory Operating Processor (AOP) or a peripheral it controls (like the audio ..

https://habr.com/ru/news/963820/ Согласно пояснению адвоката, пользователь ехал в автобусе и случайно наткнулся в интернете на статьи с запрещённым контентом, но без умысла. Он полистал её и закрыл. В материалах дела — две картинки и протокол допроса. Информацию о факте просмотра запрещённого контента мобильный оператор (не назван в деле) передал в уполномоченную организацию.

I think I might have fixed the weird Github Actions workflow corruption thing . The fix is almost stranger than the original bug. I fixed it by adding an emoji to the workflow name. This is literally what I did, I'm not even joking. Is this the real world? #

Super interesting. What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling solar panels to farmers on payment plans. And it’s working. Why Solarpunk is already happening in Africa The ongoing discussion on HN is also worth reading (minus the AI slop c..

We manage the build pipeline that delivers Quip and Slack Canvas’s backend. A year ago, we were chasing exciting ideas to help engineers ship better code, faster. But we had one huge problem: builds took 60 minutes. With a build that slow, the whole pipeline gets less agile, and feedback doesn’t come to engineers until…

As of November 5th, 2025, Material for MkDocs is now in maintenance mode, with committed support for the next 12 months. At the same time a new static site generator (SSG) has been brought to live, with a faster build engine and maximum compatibility with MkDocs (for now), and built with the same open source […]

I take pride in hosting my blog on a 13-year old ThinkPad acting as a home server , but sometimes it’s kind of a pain. It’s only fair that I cover the downsides of this setup in contrast to all the positives. Yesterday, I happened to notice that a connection to a backup endpoint was gone. Okay, happens sometimes. Then I went into the router and noticed that hey, that’s odd, there’s no WAN6 connection showing up. All gone. Just as if I ha....

Puma 7 is here, and that means your Ruby app is now keep-alive ready. This bug, which existed in Puma for years, caused one out of every 10 requests to take 10x longer by unfairly “cutting in line.”  In this post, I’ll cover how web servers work, what caused this bad behavior in Puma, and […] The post Upgrade to Puma 7 and Unlock the Power of Fair Scheduled Keep-alive appeared first on Heroku .

Modern businesses don’t just run on Salesforce—they run on entire ecosystems of applications. At Heroku, we operate dozens of services alongside our Salesforce instance such as billing systems, user management platforms, analytics engines, and support tools. Traditional approaches to unifying this data create more problems than they solve. In this article, we’ll see how we […] The post Building an Enterprise Data Warehouse on Heroku: Fro..

I got pretty much right to the end of the refactor of the auto-poster , everything was working, and then I notice that the workflows in Github are suddenly corrupt, appearing as the path instead of the name of the workflow. That’s exactly the same thing that happened last time . This is not normal. Hey world can you please stop getting in a huff and breaking everything? Would you please consider it? #

Is there any good solutions for creating P2P group chats? There is cabal, which allows creation of cabals with separate channels, very similar to irc. But it is in Javascript, which is meh, and not very popular. I've created cabal for Anons to test BTW. cabal://b7443b5a17aceaae6b3a71ed6915590873483d64394f6f5203956dca45f49cfe

Gamen en kinderen - roo.se - 6 months ago - nld
Schermtijd voor mijn kinderen blijf ik een lastig ding vinden. Eerst dacht ik altijd dat een kind met zo min mogelijk schermtijd moest opgroeien. Maar hoe meer ik erover leer, hoe meer ik ook de positieve kant in zie van bepaalde schermen. En dan met name gamen.
