As a developer or security researcher, you're able to download and run GitHub Enterprise Server. I'm not sure having access to the full source code makes a meaningful difference for most of GitHub's surface area, given it's largely Ruby.

In theory eStargz layers should be amenable to CDC.

From what I can gather it is the exact same vulnerability.

In isolation sure. But in context with the other points it makes it look like "they" refers to Microsoft in all the dot points.

describe is also the command you can use to edit the commit message of the change you're currently drafting. In jj there's no staging area, every modification to the working tree immediately gets integrated into the current commit. (This means if you have no diff in your working tree, you're actually on an empty commit.)

Depending on what NPU you have yes.

It was definitely a relatively well known problem with the 2019 MBP on the internet at some point. I found a Reddit thread linking to a news article about this. https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/vi3grj/you_should_char...

It was so much of a problem that at work we added a check that you were charging from the right ports to our internal doctor script (think like `brew doctor`).

I think you may be confusing Agent Client Protocol with Agent Communication Protocol.

At the very least schools should be billed for the frivolous police callouts. Who knows, maybe then the school might change their tune.

I would've considered signing up if scrolling on your website didn't make my modern flagship phone drop frames.

git very much supports symlinks. Although depending on the system config it might not create actual symlinks on Windows.

IIRC that's actually a change in upstream pip.

We discovered this one the hard way at work. I keep learning this the hard way myself because I've been working on browser extension dev lately. I don't understand how this could possibly be an intended feature.

typing.NamedTuple also sets `__slots__ = ()`, just like collections.namedtuple.

auscompgeek — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 09:08:00 +0000

This can be useful for accessibility. For example you might have a colour palette that users can add to, but the colours are only stored as hex codes. Giving a screen reader user just RGB values isn't as helpful as providing a name alongside it.

I wanted to check this out, so I installed the GitHub app on my account, with access to all my personal repos. However when I went looking for one of my repos (auscompgeek/sphinxify) I couldn't find it. It looks like I can only see the first 100 repos in the dashboard? I have a lot of forks under my account…

> They can't block every 8 character tag.

Whilst Git will be default abbreviate commits to 7 characters, that's merely a default; `core.abbrev` can be set to any number to change the default display. Git will also accept any length abbreviated hashes as long as they're unique in the repo.

There's a known issue where the shell integration doesn't respect that setting when it sets the cursor shape. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2812
