“Now obviously for this position we’re expecting some amount of frontend experience… it says here you’re familiar with manipulating the DOM, would you tell us a little more about that?” The candidate smirked. “Make me.”

Quantifying your reliance on #OSS by @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me They started to create a dependency tree to determine whether they should take part in #hacktoberfest. But it's not always ☀️🌈 as in some cases all depends on a very fragile library ([xkcd comic#2347](https://xkcd.com/2347/)) Understanding how your business depends on software is important from a few points: - how am I affected by migrating away from #OpenSource - usage of unwanted libraries - understand usage of libraries and their versions - discover unmaintained, deprecated or vulnerable software But all that applies to #InnerSource too!! - how maintained are the dependencies? - how are the security practices followed in the supply chain? How can we do it? It can be done using #OpenSource with dependency-management-data https://dmd.tanna.dev/ with a CLI and web interface. It uses a #sqlite db, and provides a graphQL api too. And without vendor locking! Dependabot API helped him to get some insights to know where contribute that were helpful to the company he was working. But it was not enough information. endoflife.date helped him to find what's soon to expire and other similar websites for other info. `dmd` helps in an easier way and it uses #renovate and other tools and services to get all the data for the model. Then you can query the db with what you are interested. It comes with some pre-baked queries. For #InnerSource you could define advisories and policies for when you don't have open APIs to query for that information. For example, flag when some software is using an old git server instance or set a set of code owners, or how many customer facing is using an outdated dependency. Their [website has some case studies with more examples](https://dmd.tanna.dev/case-studies/). #SOOCON24

Thanks very much, interested to see your thoughts especially with your work on Syscat! Since the last time we spoke I've added a fair bit more useful info to the documentation site, too, so hopefully that'll help.
Yeah I'm a big fan of using SQLite for it, and treating it as an ephemeral, point-in-time view, but I've spoken to a user whose company is taking it and shipping a subset of the data to Google Cloud's SQL offering, which is interesting and something I may need to look at as a "how would this work if it's long-lived"

This isn't a subtoot of anyone, I'm just responding to something I read earlier and immediately forgot the source of: The reason that queer and trans people are so afraid right now is not because it's necessarily *worse* for us than it was in the 1990s. For me, it's worse now because it represents such an incredible backslide from the very recent past. It's also worse now because of how violent, specific, and individual the threats are. There is a sense that the gloves are off, and hurting us is overtly the point - the veneer of civility is gone. The fact that most people (off the Fediverse, largely) are not responding uniquely to this unique level of hostility is worrying, to me! There's also a demographic problem happening right now that was never present before: As we come out, and as we choose to be visible, our true number becomes more apparent. The other side doesn't seem very chill about the fact that like three queer or trans people could simultaneously citizen's-arrest every cop in the US! The transphobes are responding to the actuality of trans people now, not the fictional idea that someone, somewhere, was transgender. That is new, and I think it's dangerous. #trans #queer

It's truly an astounding failure of our society to let large companies just openly steal all information they can and then sell it on as if it's something they're making and the whole thing is totally normal and ethical. The wonders of the tech industry never cease.

Another thing I am begging of people who make APIs: When you include sample code in the docs, include the "using"/"use"/"import"/"#include" statements. Please. Please. I just pasted this inline sample code https://mlem.ellpeck.de/articles/ui.html#setting-it-up into my hello world program, and it's failing because the symbol "UntexturedStyle" could not be found. "Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?", asks dotnet. Yeah, probably?? because you didn't tell me what using directives I needed?!?

If you were interested in what Sarah Novotny mentioned at #StateOfOpenCon #SOOCon24 about understanding how much Open Source you use, as well as some of the risks of using it, y'all may be very interested to come to my talk about dependency-management-data which aims to give you exactly this, with just Free and Open Source and Open APIs 👀
A few hours until my talk at #StateOfOpenCon talk, and I'm now happy with my slides + writeup. Looking forward to share it with y'all 🛸

I just published #Regal v0.16.0. This release brings two new linter rules, but most importantly it adds a language server (LSP) mode to Regal, allowing editor integrations to lint your workspace continuously as you work on your #Rego policies. Client implementations soon to follow. Exciting times! Thanks @charlieegan3 for an awesome contribution! https://github.com/StyraInc/regal/releases/tag/v0.16.0 #OPA #Linter #DevOps #DevSecOps #IAM #PolicyAsCode
LSP is huge, congrats 🎉
