brazzledazzle··on My company has banned the use of Jetbrains IDEs internally
The main reason is that Vim is better, right?
brazzledazzle··on Show HN: X11 tool to share a screen area in any video meeting
This is so cool. Seeing the word splitbrain definitely gave me a moment of dreaded recollection though, not gonna lie. Not a fun place to be when you're dealing with databases and clusters.
brazzledazzle··on Let Google decide
Perhaps this says more about you than the author. At the very least not imaginative enough to picture someone being genuine. Or perhaps this just isn’t the right sort of thing to discuss on hn?
brazzledazzle··on Let Google decide
I’ve seen this happen when the people move in and aren’t technically in the city they thought they were. They were right on the border IIRC. Ride-share apps and Google had no clue until I entered the city adjacent to the one they thought they lived in. They somehow still got packages. I guess the zip, street and number combo were enough.
brazzledazzle··on Jazz – Apps with Distributed State
That or right click.
brazzledazzle··on The Dune Shell
I mean you don't need to use the convenience aliases, or use even use it exactly that way. Here's it without any aliases:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ForEach-Object { $PSItem.Name.ToLower() }

This might be a better mix of both worlds:

gci -r | foreach { $PSItem.Name.ToLower() }

PowerShell seems to work fine calling a nix executable, unless I'm missing something:

> ls -t *.js | head -n 10 | foreach { echo $_ ; Get-ChildItem $_ | fl Name, Length } product_original.js

Name : product_original.js Length : 3353

gulpfile.js

Name : gulpfile.js Length : 382

brazzledazzle··on The Dune Shell
Would you be able to provide an example? I'm not doubting your experience, just incredibly curious since I had the opposite experience.

brazzledazzle··on Google loses antitrust suit over search deals on phones
The kind with no agenda
brazzledazzle··on Google loses antitrust suit over search deals on phones
I had a coworker insist on using ddg for privacy reasons and he was a bit smug about it even though meetings where he was presenting while searching the web always started with a ddg search and ended with him sighing and giving up by using !g to switch to google. I think, even in it's less than ideal state, people still underestimate how much time google's tailored search can save you when you train it to figure out you want to see development/technical documentation.
brazzledazzle··on Anyone can access deleted and private repository data on GitHub
I may be recalling incorrectly but I seem to remember it having some storage deduplication benefits on the backend.
brazzledazzle··on Visual explanation of SAML authentication (2020)
OIDC is way easier in my experience.
brazzledazzle··on Figma Slides
Seems like Figma and Miro are converging a bit but from different directions
brazzledazzle··on The Effects of Early Relational Trauma (2001) [pdf]
I don't know anything about your experiences so don't take this as an attempt to defend them but I've been told that the mental health field has a substantial amount of people who suffered or suffer from mental health issues and to some degree their pursuit of the career is an attempt to understand themselves better.
brazzledazzle··on Introducing Copilot+ PCs
Let's not forget Azure AD is now Microsoft Entra.
brazzledazzle··on Adobe Photoshop Source Code (2013)
Yeah but I wanted to maintain "compatibility" with others using the software whether for discussion's sake or so I can hop on their workstation and not have to think about changing anything. Turning those legacy settings on and having that survive restarts could be flaky/buggy. I got the impression keeping that functionality well tested wasn't the highest thing on their development priorities.
brazzledazzle··on Show HN: Pico: An open-source Ngrok alternative built for production traffic
The three nodes are just three containers on the host where you're running docker compose. Docker compose only works with a single host except when deploying to docker swarm clusters. I'm not familiar with swarm though so I couldn't tell you what versions of compose support it and how good that support actually is.
brazzledazzle··on Adobe Photoshop Source Code (2013)
Adobe actually changed a bunch of shortcuts at least a couple of points between photoshop 7 and creative cloud. I remember how I'd developed muscle memory that took a bit to fully overwrite.
brazzledazzle··on Show HN: Goralim - a rate limiting pkg for Go to handle distributed workloads
Did you tune the file descriptor limits?
brazzledazzle··on Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
I think people are really looking for some examples of scenarios where this might be a requirement and your time might be better spent providing one vs. fighting with them. Maybe something like an airgapped gov network with very specific approved and audited software?
brazzledazzle··on Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: 2023 Progress on Smooth Scrolling
Oh wow you're right. I didn't even notice I do it. Now it's going to bother me.
brazzledazzle··on Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: 2023 Progress on Smooth Scrolling
I wonder if that's the old magic mouse. I don't think I do that with the newer one but I remember something like that with the original.
brazzledazzle··on Conditional Git Configuration
Do you mean a host alias in your SSH config (e.g. `Host your-github-alias` or configuring a subdomain in for the hostname in the config (e.g. `Hostname something-fake.github.com`)?
brazzledazzle··on It's not always DNS, unless it is
Did you actually query the DNS from the container to verify DNS was returning an incorrect record in response to the query? I ask because I've seen similar behavior and it turned out the service was only doing DNS lookups at startup and then cached the record indefinitely (or until restarted), regardless of the TTL on the record. Unfortunately some software and libraries don't respond well to even occasional DNS changes.
brazzledazzle··on Show HN: MightyGrep - a file finding and text searching tool
I know it’s annoying paying Apple the publish tax but as a customer I’d certainly prefer to have it signed if I’m paying for it.
brazzledazzle··on S3 Express Is All You Need
Yeah the main reason is that it's incredibly expensive. You can improve performance by allocating ahead of time but NFS has never been at its best when working with a bunch of tiny files.
brazzledazzle··on The Knight Capital Disaster
That's a refreshing reversal from what you usually hear about. You can bet this engineer will never do anything like that again and will likely lead the way toward implementing comprehensive and effective safety mechanisms.
brazzledazzle··on GitHub is investigating an incident with Pull Requests, Issues and Webhooks
Yeah GitHub doesn't like when you do frequent polling over hooks but you pretty much need to have something polling (infrequently) to catch undelivered hooks.
brazzledazzle··on Ethernet Is Still Going Strong After 50 Years
Ah, yeah my advice is definitely for sheet rock/dry wall based dwellings. I think you could manage to replace the coax run through brick with a single cat run though. I would buy and generously use wire pulling lubricant though.
