Today is one of those days where I _really_ appreciate the Kubernetes community - for oh so many reasons.
GitHub relaxing the requirement of the construction of the GitHub App's JWT (under private_key_jwt
) is interesting, especially if now you don't need to know the installation ID to auth.
Presumably this also means that on GitHub's side they're still limiting access to repos that an installation has access to, but I'd have assumed that by doing it by installation ID you'd get additional checks
(I'd been lazy in the past and would rarely persist the installation ID, needing me to then go in and find it through the GitHub UI 😅)

The question of whether CSS is a programming language serves only one purpose: to demote those who write it. There is no confusion that needs to be clarified, and no other purpose in asking, beyond the most trivial kind of pedantry. The debate itself is an act of gatekeeping, whether intentional or not. Its only significant effect is to elevate some work over other work, despite their essentially identical nature. The only meaningful function of the question is segregation. #css

Remarkably consistent pattern as to who still masks, at least in the anglo countries I've been in over the last two years: Mostly people of color, older folks, and when it's young white people usually disability is involved. Common thread, I suspect, is that these are the folks who stand to lose more if they get sick. I would that there were a greater showing of solidarity, but rugged individualism and all that 🤷🏻

On the one hand, I am feeling very crispy. On the other hand, after a year of mostly unemployment I had worried I had lost my ability to be productive for the length of a normal working day, and it would seem I have not.

Some people think scalability is the biggest challenge in tech. Some think it’s data privacy. I think the biggest challenge in tech is the constant internal battle between ideals and a fat pay check.

Okay so I was HEAVILY involved in that wedding ceremony. Sit here, do this, present the rings, sign the blah blah. “James will now do XYZ” I keep being taken away by a photographer to do personal shots with bride and groom. I guess like, I’m important to the Bride? Like… really important? And it took “present the rings to me and the guy who is gonna be my husband in three minutes time, in front of 50 of our friends and family” for my autistic ass to begin to comprehend.

a lot of people don't get this but software rots. Just like a physical piece of wood or machine, software rusts, software rots. It's content doesn't change, sure, but the world around it does. The same database you release today, wont work 10 years later perfectly. It'll rust. It won't handle new formats, old formats will introduce new features that will confuse and break your databases algorithm software rusts and rots. The only way to keep software from rusting, just like a good metallic tool, is polishing it, maintaining it, making sure it's nice and working
