Nice one, works better than mine;

I've been using a git alias for quite some time

`lead = shortlog -s -n --all --no-merges`

I remember you talking about the project in the early drools IRC days. Your positivity and enthusiasm were what really made this project happen, and I have no doubts about your success with this new venture.

I’m glad things went well for you and that you managed to regain control of your life’s work.

Nice idea, I missed a few thing.

- on tab pressing, there's a percussive sound https://www.soundsnap.com/typewriter_electra_xt_old_electron...

- same happens on shift https://www.soundsnap.com/typewriter_erika_model_shift_press...

- same on other keys, like backspace

- once you reach the end of the page on some models, the carriage does't progress so you hit the same position over and over until you CR.

Then we got RedHat using the same strategy to sell support for the government :D

Nice post, let me build up on the software engineering analogy.

I've had a 3D printer for a while, and I have to say that Bambu has completely changed my perspective on the whole experience.

Before, I treated it mostly as a time-consuming hobby - setting up my own Octopi for remote printing, tinkering with different settings and parts on my Prusa. It was all trial and error, with most prints turning out below average.

Now it feels more like a continuous integration system. It runs mostly unattended, always ready to execute my next batch of prints.

I recently traveled for a week and only needed my wife to refill the filament and remove finished prints, allowing my workflow to continue uninterrupted.

I don't regret my initial experience since I learned a lot, but I really appreciate having a more streamlined process now.

This is the recipe to have 100+ different runtimes.

Don’t forget that In large deployments, you have no idea who is using what, which features are enabled or what’s the flavor of optimization someone pushed to make things work for the customer. You have dozens of engineers and all trying to keep the lights on.

This was the state when I joined Auth0 and it took us a year to migrate every individual customer env to a managed PAAS and another year to migrate our multi tentant environments later.

I tried RMPP for a weekend and decided not to stick with it. Honestly, it doesn't even come close to how good my Note Air 3C* is. Being an Android device allows you to perform customization especially regarding setting accessibility features beyond the basics.

* I understand that some people have concerns about the brand's security practices and affiliations, but I went further and completely locked it down from public cloud features.

BOFH, BileBlog, The Daily WTF;

No wonder we all turned cynical.

Identity is tricky. Proving who you are depends on a certain level of trust. Whether it's through email, devices, phones, or, in more advanced settings, some sort of digital certificate; you won't have much options.

Unless you're in Germany using a service provided by the Vogons, you might end up getting a letter containing an activation PIN via snail mail or worst having to visit the post office to show your passport.

I reported a similar and even more damaging I my opinion (https://hackerone.com/reports/2240374) and they also dismissed as by design.

Turns out I found out you could even invite external collaborators into your fork and totally bypass enforced SSO.

Even if you block forking into your main repo, the existing forks remains active and still can pull from upstream.

It feels like if you need proper security, you have to go with enterprise

Great work Lucas;

You're going in the right direction! for the near future, I suggest you to add a cli, connectors, simple symbolic calculation on notebooks (take some inspiration from calca http://calca.io/examples), offline support and fully encrypted namespaces.

That will put you miles away from everyone else in the field :)

You're probably busy with the launch, but you can contact me if you wanna discuss the list above,

Abraços
