Your regular reminder that shitting on OSS on social media is a selfish thing to do. Good job sapping volunteer maintainers’ motivation in exchange for your “internet points”. Next time: try rolling up your sleeves and contribute a fix to the problem you’ve identified.
Steve is back to talk JJ (Jujutsu version control) and the related product, ChangeSet, that he works on at East River Source Control. Kris and Steve trace why the GitHub monoculture is finally crac...
@nedbat@hachyderm.io @hugovk@mastodon.social these days I increasingly feel like it's impossible to do anything on GitHub without hitting a weird platform limitation like this one 🙂
I've filed https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/14713 for this on the Dependabot side
Starting with v8.0.0, Astral switched setup-uv to immutable releases with no floating v8 tags. This is good for security.
But unfortunately #Dependabot and #Renovate couldn't upgrade from v7 to v8.0.0, and need a manual bump to get back on track. This is not so good for security.
I posted about this on the three social networks, someone tagged @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me and soon after Renovate now supports this! 🎉
Here's his writeup into the world of #GitHubActions tags:

We recorded a fun episode of @fafo.fm with @crawshaw.io today and after the recording he asked a great question
How do you measure success of the podcast?
I don't think I've ever said this out loud so I wanted to put it here
1. Do I look forward to recording episodes?
2. Does it give back?

What Claude thought he said: I could absolutely defeat 600,000 babies in single combat.
So there’s an Odyssey movie coming out this summer, they released a new trailer, and I laughed WAY TOO HARD at this comment…
(As someone who has had to read both works multiple times…)
A reminder that this is why we make fun of The Odyssey. The book would not exist if Odysseus was not such a complete chaos goblin who was busy causing problems for himself by arguing with Gods and being a shit navigator. There is no way to make an extremely serious movie out of this material.
This week we're joined by Jordan Harband, a pillar of the npm ecosystem. Jordan maintains a staggering amount of open source projects that are used by millions of developers.

Brogrammer Garry Tan has been boasting about "writing" tens of thousands of lines of code each day as the paragon of productivity. Is this really the right way to think about building systems? Bryan and Adam were joined by Polish software engineer, Gregorein, who took a closer look into what Tan...
You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,
Hey so to be clear, talking about your openclaw agent as if it is a real person with feelings that is capable of hurting YOUR feelings is deranged. It isn't cute. That's concerning.
In the episode Charity Majors, founder and CTO of Honeycomb, talks about what changes when the cost of generating code drops toward zero. She explains why obser...
