Just think how sad a UPS driver is going to be if they have to go work for Amazon...

Yeah, that's what we've been doing. The problem is that it requires Visual Studio, and thus Windows...

We're at the point where most of our projects are in Kubernetes, and we're pushing hard to move the rest.

We're migrating CI/CD infrastructure to Kubernetes, and this came up as a blocker.

What do people use for database schema/migration projects?

Anyone know what the status of SDK-style SqlProj actually is? It seems they're supported in VS Code (but without tests?) still "preview" in VS2022, don't exist at all in VS2026...

Are these "coming soon" or abandon-ware?

But see, what it should have said is: omg, don't write your own load testing tool, just use k6 or siege or vegeta or something 😉

They're all wrong. Let me tell you the real story about…

It feels like I daily see people in their social media echo chambers deriding majority opinions about AI, politics, economics, government, and even science without citations or sources, just the certainty that some folks agree with them. Why?

Kate's 😉 or Kubernetes, never k-eight-s

Yeah, a contractor or carpenter would know, I bet 😝. They probably just have higher standards for those thinner boards that end up being used in visible places...

Maybe you're passing for them to cut up 2x4s in the back ...

I love that you've discovered ads are "overwhelming" your site, and your suggestion is that more people need to install an ad blocker. Classic.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

🧑‍🎓 New foreign student enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities is down by 17% over last year: “American universities have suffered one of the sharpest ever declines in foreign enrollments in the face of tough policies from President Donald Trump, with the number of new international students falling 17 percent this year.”

The White House just blasted this out under the headline "Good News You May Have Missed"

Terrible day to be literate

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna
bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

They probably don't have logs? Yeah, because... *cough* *cough* 😉

So, with Azure CDNs and Front Door all still locked down since their outage last week, what's the over/under on this being something that was vibe coded, and there's nobody available who understands it anymore?

Governments never announce that they have become fascist they announce that the antifascists are now the enemy of the state.

Accurate.

Shell completion | Optique Learn how to add shell completion support to your CLI applications using Optique's built-in completion system. Covers Bash and zsh integration, custom suggestions, and native file completion.

For a CLI parser library, generating help is a given, why not completion script generation? Argsparse, climate & optparse do (only for bash, zsh & fish).

Well, if you're writing in TypeScript, Optique now has one, and it covers bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, and Nushell!

Pentagon Expands Its Restrictions on Reporter Access

When I was fighting in Iraq & Afghanistan, I needed to know that journalists could ask tough questions to hold those in power accountable.

It's a dangerous moment when our leaders require the press to self-censor their reporting, or face punishment.

Free speech is under attack.

I definitely don't have problems with emoji. They can be extremely succinct when used properly, E.g. Using ✅⚠️❌ as status icons in lists of output. Why do you think all the terminals (and business apps) are adding support for emoji?

Pluralistic: How much (little) are the AI companies making? (30 Jun 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

No worries, doesn't affect the bit you're concerned with 😉

Right now I'm downloading & extracting to disk, then calling docker buildx.

I'm pretty sure that I can build the tarballs and skip a step 😉

I want to build an OCI server with tags piped through from GitHub api, then generate images on-demand, but that may be too slow.

I'm thinking about packing them into an OCI package...

I have a `feature/oci` branch that can build multi-os/arch docker container images with just base + bin from the download.

But I want a multi-os/arch "installer" that would use the same (last) OCI layer as the source.

Yes to both of those. Most of these apps don't have extra assemblies -- at least the ones I can think of.

Right now I'm just copying everything:

foreach($File in Get-ChildItem $FromDir -File -Recurse) {
sudo mv -f $File.FullName $ToDir
sudo chmod +x "$ToDir/$($File.Name)"

Right, exactly, and on windows that's easy, because I install all the tools to a folder. But on posix systems, I've been installing to /usr/bin —because it's easier than permanently updating the PATH

I've always thought we should outlaw HOAs, on account of them seeing up mini-towns within towns, but this takes the cake.

Yeah, parameter with env variable default would be nice.

I am also using this to install tools in build pipelines (where I don't need to scan things, because they're well trusted stuff like flux, oras, regal), but I think I need a better (more cache-enabled) solution for that.
