The only reason not to deploy to prod on Fridays is that you have a four day work week and you have Fridays off.

@anze3db we have 20 mins as the minimum time from PR to production and we deploy several times on a Friday (prod is a promotion pipeline but that literally takes under 2 minutes)

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey caused a minor social media ripple last week when he left the Bluesky boardā€¦ a project he founded and initially funded in his Twitter days. Heā€™s now given a (slightly confused) interview explaining why.

He tells the interviewer he wants social media curation-algorithm choice (me too!). But heā€™s left the one major platform (Bluesky) which provides it. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

He left because Bluesky is providing moderation tools some users wanted. And itā€™s too focused on the (slick, Twitter-like) app layer. But how else do you get the critical mass of users to make the underlying protocol worth connecting to? There were endless complaints from non-nerds that Mastodon/the Fediverse was just too complicated for non-techies to understand and use.

He thinks the Bluesky Public Benefit Corporation is too slick a business. How else do you attract continued funding, without relying on flaky billionaires? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø Also: heā€™s a wannabe cypherpunk, who I donā€™t think has learnt much from that movementā€™s experiences with ā€œfreedom technologiesā€ in the 90s/00s šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

He also has many confused thoughts about X/Twitter since he left (itā€™s all good, apparently.) Iā€™m not sure heā€™s much of a loss to Bluesky.

We almost lost Koda last week due to acute pancreatitis.

He's back home since Sunday and as active as always!

But he's taking a lot of medications, and he has to soon remove his spleen (w/ a golf ball sized tumour), and with his age the surgery is very risky, but needed šŸ˜¢.

He's turning 15 this September.

I never posted this publically: I take a photo per day with Koda. I have more than 5000 daily Koda photos :D

Left: 1st day with Koda, 15/11/2009.

Right: 24/04/2024.

Photo of a man wearing glasses smiling close to a senior dachshund dog that is lying on a big gray bed. The dog is belly up, looking at the man. It's me and my dog Koda in 2024.

@alfredbaudisch sorry to hear. Our Nell died 2 years ago from lymphoma, and 6 months before her spleen failed too - she recovered in 10 days from surgery and was a fighter to the end. It cost a lot but was absolutely worth every penny

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@alfredbaudisch Thanks, of course it hurts but a year later almost exactly we had puppies with our other dog and now we have two again - one on the left is Nell and Grace, and now we have Grace and Astra (Polish Hunting Spaniels)

@alfredbaudisch We're part of our breeds future, as it's a small breed and we worked hard and spent a lot of money to make sure we had all the right tests done, and took time to find the right male - it ended up with us driving to the middle of Poland, 2 days before Christmas, in a replacement small car as ours was in the garage being repaired on the hope we got the timing right. We say Astra is the ā‚¬10k dog, but it was absolutely worth it https://www.instagram.com/zetacentauri_psm/ (we documented it all)

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@alfredbaudisch The name comes from Nell, it was her birth name - so it's the legacy she carries on - never replaced, but always part of what we're doing.

@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@alfredbaudisch I'm not going to lie - yes they are, and they all are with the right families (which was also hard work - we had one family who visited 3 times - the third time they showed themselves for who they really were and we told them they couldn't have one) - they also all came out around 350g each - a very consistent little of 6 - couldn't have asked for a better first time I think. Was hard work though.

@revk this is what I noticed on my last trip back to the UK - 8 years not living there - I noticed how many signs there are that tell you not to do something, and if you do you'll go to jail. It really is a nanny state, designed to make you think you'll be punished at every turn.

Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

Here's me trying to make sure we ship as secure as possible software, and there's someone who doesn't know how to use an npm ignore file to not ship their shitty docker files in their modules #node #npm

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

So many projects have a lot of crap in node_modules that are really not needed when deploying apps - SO MANY DOT FILES. I built a script that will clear them all out recursively, just leaving required files. Will probably add *.ts when creating containers.

A screenshot showing that over 4300 files will be deleted and clean up 27Mb of files
A screenshot showing a list of files in node_modules including a lot of dot files

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@ollicle It's not just DotFiles (the worst being .DS_Store) - I've found Dockerfile and all sorts of crap.

I was going to add a dotfile for it at the root (and it only starts recursing from node_module down)

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@ollicle it's 26mb of files in my local dev environment! Our docker image is 62Mb - so I'm thinking on the production builds that's still a few Mb to remove

After many years of not touching or dealing with Windows at all, seeing it on my wifeā€™s work machine has me remembering why I hate it

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@dave oh yea - we bought a desktop for my wife earlier this year and it came with an OEM windows where it was half Dutch, half English and it wouldn't download the language pack. We sorted it out in the end but the Windows 11 experience is horrible, the UI is a mess.

My own desktop won't update (Gen4 i7) and I'm glad.

This is one of the reasons why Iā€™ve been steadily moving away from TypeScript. Something like thisā€”where an ergonomic feature fails because TypeScript has wrong typesā€”happens ALL THE TIME. The more you work with the DOM the more often it happens. This is obviously frustrating and adds friction

But it also calls its very purpose into question. If TS is getting so many things wrong why should I trust its assurances about correctness or the presence or absence of defects?

@baldur Today, I'm pretty much trying to fix problems in our GH Actions pipeline because upgrading some dependencies (minor) caused tests to fail, those tests worked fine before but now need additional types added to the tsconfig to work. Now the pipelines run slower and need to install so much dependencies just to make React work. If I had pushed back a while with our PO they would still be Svelte and just not match exactly the app design system (but they'd be less work)

tanepiper,
@tanepiper@tane.codes avatar

@baldur it's why I gave up on https://rxjs-ninja.tane.dev/

However, the thing I mentioned is a production product pipeline and it's blocking release

Anyone else seeing more segfaults with 22 and

Going to have to go back to LTS as pipeline keep failing now when installing dependencies when using caching.

Turns out the answer is DOWNLOAD MORE RAM.

Runners were using 8Gb images, so we bumped it up to 16Gb and all of a sudden no problems and it runs faster
