AlfeG··on We want to fix GitHub Actions
We use Azure Pipelines. I'm actively search for better and faster CI. Today we saw fascinating 9 minute build for a web app that on my PC done in 25 seconds. This is extremely annoying. So yeah. Faster CI should be a great solution.
AlfeG··on Why Carmakers Can’t Transition to Newer Chips
Not sure how is this possible. Automatic cars almost always require You to push brake constantly if you not driving. You can't turn car on without pressing brake, can't change to drive mode from parking state without pressing brake. There should be something very broken in Toyota case.
AlfeG··on The code worked differently when the moon was full
Looks like a cool solution, when issue is known )
AlfeG··on Apple Disables FaceID if you change the screen yourself [video]
In Ukraine for iPhone 13 max 1tb you will need to pay $3000
AlfeG··on JSON5 Data Interchange Format
It brings it closer to JavaScript behavior I guess. I guess it's nice to have ability to copy random js object declaration to actual json without editing
AlfeG··on AMD’s Lisa Su
I.m sure there were news that some companies add 5xxx support to x370 chipset. Not sure how many of them delivered anything.
AlfeG··on It's tough being an Azure fan
Azure Pipelines is just slow. I'm not sure even how to fix it.

Checkout stage of our code from Azure Repos easily count for half a minute. Npm install goes for a 1.5 minute with npm cache hit. Total build times are around 20 minutes...

AlfeG··on The Framework is the most exciting laptop I've used
It when You need to adjust cable multiple times until connection happen, and then work very careful to not move anything. Ports sometimes are very fragile. My old laptop has only 2 of 4 USB ports working.
AlfeG··on Let's Encrypt's old root certificate is expiring
Glad that this behavior from Sams is changing. I have S10, that were on Android 9, now it's updated to 11. I guess there will be no major releases, but I still will and do get now security updates for a few years. At least there is now predictable pattern on device support.
AlfeG··on ClickHouse, Inc.
I'm assume that this mostly because of Ukraine. There is a blacklist for any Russian products. There is also people that try to extend this internal to UA list to various ads list.
AlfeG··on Username ending with MIME type format is not allowed
I guess author of ticket were referring to internal type name mime_type
AlfeG··on Almost free serverless on-demand Minecraft server in AWS
Better be sure not to share DNS name to anyone
AlfeG··on uBlock Origin review
Haven't seen any issues for years, with some exceptions.

Anecdotally - I've visit only few sites that were totally blocking their work, all of them were piracy related sites.

AlfeG··on My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs
I've updated my old home PC to windows 10. It's a two core Athlone with 1 gig of ram. And it still usable. Quite long to load, but can run Chrome.
AlfeG··on Golang vs. C# (.NET 5.0) at Benchmarks Game
I'm actually use both. Debugging story in Rider is a bit flawed compared to VS. But due to very large codebase Rider is a bit better in performance.
AlfeG··on Perhaps WSL2 Should Be a Wake-Up Call
Isn't this true only for WSL1 and pretty much solved with WSL2? I'm sure that haven't seen any issues. Maybe I'm wrong.
AlfeG··on In Praise of PostgreSQL
I'm using DBeaver. And still using even for non PG loads
AlfeG··on How to install Linux instead of Windows 11
It's like 3 or 4 clicks from winsows settings to reinstall windows from scratch. And everything just works.
AlfeG··on China bans for-profit school tutoring in sweeping overhaul
They were pretty much under high pressure already. Lot of them returned home. I guess now they have no other options and return.
AlfeG··on Give me /events, not webhooks
Basically Postgres SHARE lock will ensure that there is no active transaction in this table before executing query over table. This is a table wide lock and as I said it's not a best solution, as it will slow down a bit other events producers/consumers.

In our case - active data export process, will slow down a bit main application while reading new events.

Best solution would be using external tool to handle streams, like Event Store, Kafka or new RabbitMq Streams. But we prefer to stick with Postgres.

AlfeG··on Give me /events, not webhooks
At SurveySolutions we ended up with using shared lock during events readout from postgres. This solution is not the best, but good enough for us. https://github.com/surveysolutions/surveysolutions/blob/5bc9...
AlfeG··on Show HN: Survey Solutions is a survey management and data collection system
After more than 10 years of active development Survey Solutions finally became open source. Docker, CQRS, event sourcing, Xamarin, GraphQL, Vue.js and SignalR - all that can be found in a real world application.
AlfeG··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
I always open links to Medium in incognito mode. This helps.
AlfeG··on Did Windows 10 slow down with each feature update?
I'm not sure why they tested with disabled fast boot option? Why not disable every feature of system?

Fast boot from powerdown is the reason why I stop using other power down states. Just shut system down, and boot it up in 10-15 seconds.

AlfeG··on Playwright for .NET is now stable
So there is some people that move backend apps from C# to Typescript? really?
AlfeG··on Playwright for .NET is now stable
Why not?

Why do You think that this will somehow limit people ability to learn or even make them worse version of them?

Most of the dev's I know, want to do coding for life: - not learning tools from scratch every few weeks, because of the abandoned library - not fight with npm audit every week - not waiting for 5 minutes for webpack to download internet and build project in CI, while .Net builds are already completed, unit tested and waiting for smoke run.

AlfeG··on Playwright for .NET is now stable
Because for some teams it's easier to write tests in plain C# with NUnit/xUnit libs.
AlfeG··on Safari tries to fill username
Actually yes.

They try to sell us external/internal Auth service, similar to KeyCloack with their support. What pentesters want to achieve is not improved security, but to sell their services as DevOps and developers. This were not what we expected from pentesting.

AlfeG··on Safari tries to fill username
Some hired "pentesters" found in our Asp.Net application that "Connection to the prod database is established before the user credentials have been validated.". They even insist that this is come from some ISO security guidelines.

Cheese, this one line in their report causes around 3 hours of meetings with around 10-20 people on them... and there were a lot of lines like this.

AlfeG··on Belarus 'diverts Ryanair flight to arrest journalist', opposition says
Not sure why there is so much talk about death penalty - according to other sources these is 3 to 5 years of prison at max. That's of cause if the law doesn't change just for this guy in next few weeks.
