Here is the link to the original website (an NGO that monitors blocked websites in Turkey): https://ifade.org.tr/engelliweb/distrowatch-erisime-engelledi/

And here is the Google translation of the text on that page:

The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber ​​Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of “IP hosting/spreading malware”.

Because it is about a not-very-well-known feature of the language. Why would it matter that it’s old? I don’t think I have ever seen this in use in production code.

I suppose you are right. If AWS doesn’t support STS versions, these will be only applicable to Azure (I know nothing about GCP). It probably makes sense for AWS to stick to LTS versions (I would do the same). But isn’t that a choice made by AWS (rather than Microsoft).

I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.

The first time I saw that prompt, I thought the same. “I don’t want to cancel the install, I want to install it.” You get used to it, but I don’t think this is a very good UX.

I think the developer basically killed the project. I’m not sure Moq can recover from this. I recommend everyone to move to NSubstitute as soon as possible. I suspect most of the migration can be done via Find/Replace.

I have had Pluralsight for many years now and I agree with you. In some cases they have excellent courses, but I sometimes find the content outdated. I plan to explore O’Reily’s platform next year. They seem to have a different set of resources and are comparable in price.

We are publishing libraries (mostly client libraries). There are lots of legacy stuff. It’s safer to own the whole feed instead of pushing it to nuget.org and hoping for the best :)

I also use Azure Devops + GitHub - What kind of integration are you looking for?

Not really “looking for” it but what I meant was “pushing to GitHub packages from Azure Pipelines.”

If you’re using Azure as the build server, you can also publish your Nugets into a private feed in Azure

That’s what we do at the moment for private feeds.

If you are not using Azure Devops, GitHub Packages (as suggested by @nibblebit@programming.dev) can be worth looking into. They have a generous free tier.

Have you tried Github packages yet?

No. Thank you for the suggestion. We use Azure Devops, but I would expect it to have good integration with GitHub. But creating a public project in Azure Devops may make more sense (so that all packages are in one place).

[…] but what prevents you to use nuget.org?

The only thing is possible name collisions. I didn’t start looking into this, but it is a possibility. Otherwise I think we will end up doing this.

I would add Ars Technica to that list and call it a day.

For programming I follow YouTube channels of the conferences relevant for my tech stack (YouTube natively supports RSS). They are generally 1 hour talks but it’s a great way to stay up to date.

I cannot answer the technical question as I don’t have enough experience with that. But I think sites like reddit mostly don’t care about search. They probably think: “People can use google if they want to search.”

I didn’t read it as lamenting the demise of the tinkerer. But it can of course be read that way too.

I guess many people find themselves in the article. I, for one, spent way too many nights building “under construction” web sites on Geocities. However, I definitely don’t think “passion” has anything to do with what we do (Searls also makes fun of being passionate about passion). I don’t find that to be a sustainable approach. I don’t care if a candidate I’m interviewing has personal projects in Github or a Raspberry Pi at home. Those are interesting, sure, but no more than playing the guitar or swimming.

Again, maybe the article was not well balanced. And maybe the fact that I find myself in the article prevents me from seeing it.

What you did with the message queu in Javascript is impressive. And I’m sure there are other efforts that solved “impossible” problems in creative ways. Creativity is important in a lot of professions and I can admit that it is probably more important in programming than, say, accounting (I hear “creative accounting” is not a good thing). However, I don’t think creativity is vital in what we do. It’s useful, sure. But, for example, it’s not as important as critical thinking. I think the real problem is that we are a relatively new engineering discipline that is still under rapid change. The paradox is, if we look at the programming paradigms, we don’t actually see many new things. We reheat the stuff from 60s/70s all the time (functional programming is a good example). But the socio-technical aspects of what we do (and how we do it) is under constant change (waterfall, agile, autonomy, etc.). And, this is probably what makes software unique. We have a very short feedback loop (as opposed to building a bridge). And I would say, that should also have its place in education.

This talk by Dave Farley sums up my thoughts about “software engineering” quite well: Taking Back “Software Engineering” – Craftsmanship is Insufficient (Piped link).

When I saw the title, I thought “just another blog on 10x developer”. I don’t really know why I decided to read on, but I’m happy I did. Searls touches on many more while investigating the topic. The writer approaches the topic from a inter-generational point of view and also goes in to things like “passion” and “craftsmanship”. I would even say, this is not about the 10x developer at all. This is about how as a young engineering discipline we are still trying to find better ways of doing things.

It’s an open secret that the industry has no idea how to teach people to program. Computer Science degrees famously don’t prepare programmers for the job of programming, which has always been left as an exercise to the student to figure out on their own time. If the industry is going to outlive us enthusiast programmers, will it adopt a sustainable approach to educating the next generation that doesn’t require people to teach themselves everything?

Did you take a look at write freely or other blogging software with native ActivityPub support?

This is probably not the correct place to as this and I don’t know the inner workings of Lemmy, so forgive the stupid question. Does that mean, for an external post to get a programming.dev ID does someone in programming.dev instance to have been subscribed to the community the post was originally shared? Is that why I don’t see any posts at for example https://programming.dev/c/testbot42@voyager.lemmy.ml even though I see them at https://voyager.lemmy.ml/c/testbot42? If that’s the case, it sounds like an important limitation.

The post is what started the whole ADR wave in the industry (I think there was also a conference talk by him). https://adr.github.io/ has a list of resources (templates, articles, examples, tools, etc.).
