PSA: Do not put git repos inside other git repos. Git is not a package manager. You will make yourself sad. It doesn't matter how many conceptual primitives they share. Don't do it. Just use a package manager. You don't even need a package repository. You can still download things directly from git repos if you want to. Just list them in a package.json or something, and let npm do it. Or go.mod. Anything. Please. For your own sake. And everyone who comes after you.

The EU response to this should be simple: Tell Apple it will be barred from trading in the EU unless it commits to implementing EU requirements globally. Will the EU understand it does not require global jurisdiction in order to have global impact? Let’s wait and see. #eu #apple #maliciousCompliance https://mastodon.social/@verge/111824614624891170

If you've ever wondered why some Wi-Fi is free (like in hotels), it's because typically data about your browsing is sold to countless ad companies that will happily buy it. Had to use the hotel WiFi recently on a trip, and after clicking "agree" to their terms of service, the Little Snitch firewall on my Mac went bonkers. I must have denied 20-30 outbound requests to advertising networks. It still worked, though, so I'm guessing I didn't manage to block all of it.

What a year 2023 was at incident.io! While it's hard to summarize 365 days, a few things stand out: We launched a bunch of new products like Catalog and Status Pages. We hired a ton and we're now sitting at nearly 80 employees as of December 2023. We expanded into the U S opening up a brand new office just a few weeks ago. ...and there's still so much more ahead of us So as we close the curtain on 2023, we sat down with the three co-founders of incident.io to do a bit of reflection on the wild ride that was this year. In this episode you'll hear them discuss challenges, big wins, moments of growth, what's next for us, and most importantly, what the three co-founders like most about one another.
