Check Your Mac Security Update Status with SilentKnight

What’s your go-to strategy for giving engineers access to production?
I’ve been in this field for almost 15 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen two companies handle this the same way
Some other places just hand out just-in-time database access with short-lived credentials, others rely on rigid role-based permission, and others go all in on anonymized data dumps or shadow environments to avoid prod access altogether

Five Ways the Department of Education Is Upending Public Schools
Megan O’Matz and Jennifer Smith Richards, - ProPublica
_Stephan: A successful democracy requires a literate, numerate, educated citizenry. Everyone, going back to the Athenians of the fifth century BCE, has recognized this.

The driver’s license documents in Germany now have an expiration date. You have to renew them every 15 years. (Not the license itself, just the documents.)
I just got my renewed documents. Their expiration date says something like 01.09.40. Huh? That looks super weird to me, like an error. But no, it’s 2040 … Just 15 years away.

I was drafting support for showing “application icons” in my window manager, i.e. the Firefox icon in the titlebar:
⤋ Read More
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, huh, maybe it was just my GNOME 2 themes back then that didn’t show the icon. 🤔
I like the looks of your window manager. That’s using Wayland, right?
Oh, no. It’s still X11. All my recent Wayland comments resulted from me trying to switch, but I think it’s still too early. Being unable to use QEMU (because it can’t capture the mouse pointer) is a pretty big blocker for me. This is completely broken, it just happens to be unnoticeable with modern guest OSes, so it’s probably not a priority for devs.
(Not to mention that I would have to fork and substantially extend dwl in order to “replicate” my X11 WM. And then, after having done that, I’d have to follow upstream Wayland development, for which I don’t have the resources. Things would need to slow down before I can do that.)
all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!!1
Heh. I’ve been using tiling WMs for ~15 years now, so it’s actually kind of refreshing to see something different for a change. 😅
Probably close to the older Windowses.
That particular theme is a ripoff of OS/2 Warp 3:

We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don’t recall its name) on Win95 or Win98
Oh god. Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of those, either. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do my timetracking in a little Python script, locally. Every now and then, I push the data to our actual service. Problem solved – but it’s a completely unpopular approach, they all want to use the web site. I don’t get it. Then, of course, when it’s down, shit hits the fan. (Luckily, our timetracking software is neither developed nor run by us anymore. It’s a silly cloud service, but the upside is that I’m not responsible anymore. 🤷)
Some of our oldschool devs tried to roll out local timetracking once, about 15 years ago. I don’t remember anymore why they failed …
This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :‘-(
At work, too. For a few weeks now when I try to log into this horrible Outlook web intershit (Because why would they fix the Evolution integration?! It’s cactus for well over a year now. Probably more like two.), it forwards me to the corporate weblogin, I enter my credentials, even do the bloody MFA crap and get redirected back to Outlook. “Loading mailbox…” “Please wait for us to log you out, do not close this window while this process is underway.” Fuck you! I have to delete the cookies for this damn domain each and every fucking time. Otherwise, this goes in circles forever. I tried the game for 15 minutes, no joke.
But wait, there’s more! Why just fuck it up only a little bit? This week I get logged out at the middle of the day. Every. Single. Day. Not even close to eight hours since I started, no. What the hell!? I reckon I just don’t even bother reauthenticating anymore in the arvo. No more e-mails for Lyse after lunch. Fuck it. It’s just distraction, anyway, right?!

18 rules of Software Engineering
- You will regret complexity when on-call
- Stop falling in love with your own code
- Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
- Everyone hates code they didn’t write
- Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
- Coding standards prevent arguments
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Don’t ever stop learning new things
- Code reviews spread knowledge
- Always build for maintainability
- Ask for help when you’re stuck
- Fix root causes, not symptoms
- Software is never completed
- Estimates are not promises
- Ship early, iterate often
- Keep. It. Simple.
Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.
