Why would you rewrite something that’s widely considered one of the best written and tested pieces of software in the world?

Not illegal, not exactly voluntary either. Companies are caving to threats from the Trump administration

Flutter has moved to Swift Package Manager, it’s just not enabled by default iirc

I could be wrong, but I’ve always been under the impression that Obsidian charges a lot for sync because the app is amazing and free. Sync helps pay for that. But they’re also very helpful about providing other ways to sync your files to your phone. I use iCloud Drive (which I have anyway for other reasons).

A warning to those considering applying here: This month, I went through the full interview process with Sourcegraph - 6 interviews, including one with the CTO. I was asked for references, waited around for two weeks while they had a big company meeting, and then was told that I was a great engineer who passed all the interviews but they were pivoting and weren't going to hire me anyways. At a company with 50 engineers where multiple people during the interview process bragged to me about how much runway they had.

I’m deeply confused … what does this actually do? Mark your commit as having tests passed?

Random thing I’ve been wondering: is there a point in including TLS support in web servers any more? Isn’t it always better to run a reverse proxy and terminate HTTPs at the edge?

I mean, they provide the service by stealing data from their users. I would argue that this is just as ethically fine as Youtube's entire business model.

My god there’s a lot of negativity here. Nice work! I’ve been looking for something like this for a very small test I’m running of a mobile app. It’s honestly surprising that there are so few offerings in this space

I found out last year that you can actually run a full SPA using S3 and a CDN. It’s kind of a nuts platform

This is really cool! I've always thought that one thing preventing major competitors to AWS/Azure/GCP is the lack of easy-to-use tooling for machine level monitoring like this. When I was at Microsoft, we built a tool like this that used Windows Firewall filters to track all the network traffic between our services and it was incredibly useful for debugging.

That said, as with anything from Meta, I approach this with a grain of salt and the fact that I can't tell what they stand to gain from this makes me suspicious.
