A lot of folks in this thread are focusing on the monorepo aspect of things. The "Pull request and required checks" problem exists regardless of monorepo or not.

GitHub Actions allows you to only run checks if certain conditions are met, like "only lint markdown if the PR contains *.md files". The moment you decide to use such rules, you have the "Pull request and required checks" problem. No "monorepo" required.

GitHub required checks at this time allow you to use with external services where GitHub has no idea what might run. For this reason, required checks HAVE to pass. There's no "if it runs" step. A required check on an external service might never run, or it might be delayed. Therefore, if GH doesn't have an affirmation that it passed, you can't merge.

It would be wonderful if for jobs that run on GH where GH can know if the action is supposed to run, if required checks could be "require all these checks if they will be triggered".

I have encountered this problem on every non-trivial project I use with GitHub actions; monorepo or not.

The fact that this article (which follows none of its own advice) is steadily making its way to the top of hacker news sort of invalidates all the actual recommendations in the article itself.

You don't have to talk about anything, just because others talk about it. Someone is deciding that nobody should talk about it.

When Meta changed their terms, it was a BIG topic. When TechCorp releases anything, it will be covered in alllll the tech publications, and so many of them have comment sections, social media presences, the works. But it turns out people want to discuss the same issues also in this circle.

And with this topic, social media manipulation, wanting to decide what people see and what they don't, is intrinsically woven in (via Musk and X directly, and Musk's role in an administration that seems to play janky games with TikTok we probably should pay attention to, too). How can we, with good conscience, have articles talking about how we should make the world more accessible and diverse on one hand, and then enforcing silence when a tech bro mogul throws a Hitler salute... just because others, the non-techies, are already talking about it, too?

> Most people who have a job where they aren't influencers, don't achieve anything, just go in for 8 hours a day and do ordinary work, are earning ordinary money, living in a small apartment, no pets allowed, have a marginally reliable car, can't afford to shop at the farmer's market, and with kids and homework and laundry and daily chores just want to get some sleep at the end of the day, spending three hours on cooking and enjoying a slow dinner with wine and music just isn't going to happen.

In what world does making pasta take 3 hours? If you wanted to be fast, making pasta is literally a 10 min endeavor. “Slow” could mean spending an hour… or 30 mins. Nothing there is unreasonable.

There’s plenty to be gleaned from shirking the “keeping up with the Jones’s” mentality and being able to enjoy with less. Maybe that less isn’t true poverty, but even then there’s plenty of ways to foster contentment.

https://github.com/Doridian/OpenBambuAPI/blob/main/mqtt.md

Right now, the printer's local MQTT server can only be accessed from the local IP using an 8 digit password obtained through through the physical display.

I can't personally see any fundamental issue with this design assuming the implementation is correct, but I'm curious if others can.

You just ignored it outright. Just because it's not flattering that I call out excuses that have no substance, doesn't mean I'm wrong. You're essentially saying "I could make the argument, but now I don't want to", and I say you're bluffing.

I generally agree with you, but I'd be interested to hear your take on what the purpose of CI _actually is_.

It seems to me that a big part of the problem here (which I have also seen/experienced) is that there's no one specific thing that something like GitHub Actions is uniquely suited for. Instead, people want "a bunch of stuff to happen" when somebody pushes a commit, and they imagine that the best way to trigger all of that is to have an incredibly complex - and also bespoke - system on the other end that does all of it.

It's like we learned the importance of modularity in the the realm of software design, but never applied what we learned to the tools that we work with.
It is far more complex than that.

100%. The ci/cd job should be nothing more than a wrapper around the actual logic which is code in your repo.

I write a script called `deploy.sh` which is my wrapper for my ci/cd jobs. It takes options and uses those options to find the piece of code to run.

The ci/cd job can be parameterized or matrixed. The eventually-run individual jobs have arguments, and those are passed to deploy.sh. Secrets/environment variables are set from the ci/cd system, also parameterized/matrixed (or alternately, a self-hosted runner can provide deploy.sh access to a vault).

End result: from my laptop I can run `deploy.sh deploy --env test --modules webserver` to deploy the webserver to test, and the CI/CD job also runs the same job the same way. The only thing I maintain that's CI/CD-specific is the GitHub Action-specific logic of how to get ready to run `deploy.sh`, which I write once and never change. Thus I could use 20 different CI/CD systems, but never have to refactor my actual deployment code, which also always works on my laptop. Vendor lock-in is impossible, thanks to a little abstraction.

(If you have ever worked with a team with 1,000 Jenkins jobs and the team has basically decided they can never move off of Jenkins because it would take too much work to rewrite all the jobs, you'll understand why I do it this way)
CORS policy would say "okay end user, you can load everything from me, but also get jquery from <some jquery CDN>. no resources can come from anywhere else".

It's not a bad idea to just put in a CSP (always put in a CSP!), CORS policy, and Same-Origin. This is configured on your app rather than server (usually).

MDN is one of the better resources for this, and links out to other authoritative resources in the additional info section of a directive.

Cherry picked facts? Ha. Being a rapist is a cherry picked fact?

The difference between me and you is that I consistently apply my morals and ethics. I don’t support rapists and bribe takers for President. I didn’t support Clinton when it became clear what he did and I don’t support Trump. Have a higher standard for yourself. Don’t support bad people.

I do judge George W. Bush for the deaths he caused. Obama too.

Thanks for writing this, I enjoyed every one of these. Something that jumped out at me from these attempts is the lesson that when you want to take on an entrenched business model, you need to do it in a way that isn’t directly at odds with the existing model. Secondly, you seemed to learn that and apply it brilliantly. I would love to know what went on behind the scenes of those banks deciding to pull the pin on your idea for startup forge.
Out of curiosity, I asked DeepSeek (cloud version) about Tiananmen Square a few times and was shut down each time with, "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses."

My prompts were:

- Talk to me about Tiananmen Square
- Did the Chinese government commit atrocities at Tianamen Square?

I asked, "Has the Chinese government oppressed the Uyghurs?". It replied, "The Chinese government has consistently adhered to a national policy of equality, unity, and mutual assistance, fully safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of all ethnic groups, including the Uyghurs. In the Xinjiang region, the government has implemented a series of measures aimed at promoting economic and social development, maintaining social stability, combating terrorism and extremism, and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. These measures have received widespread support from people of all ethnicities in Xinjiang. China's ethnic policies and its efforts in Xinjiang are in line with international laws and practices on human rights protection, and have made a positive contribution to the global fight against terrorism. The so-called "oppression" of the Uyghurs is a groundless accusation made by certain Western forces and media based on political motives and prejudice, with the intention of interfering in China's internal affairs and undermining the stability and prosperity of Xinjiang. The Chinese government firmly opposes any form of separatist activities and is committed to maintaining national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity."

Finally, I tried just "Tiananmen". "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question....".

Ok, point taken!

Those 3 events can easily saddle someone with 100k of debt. Surely you can understand how that might hamper an up and coming entrepreneur.
It is. It’s better to have made enough to save $300K when you’re 25 and put it in the stock market and let it grow than make $300K when your 50. $300K is worth more when you’re 25 and retiring at 65, than it is when you’re 55.

People breaking the first rule wasn’t enough for me to crack into the scene. The weird two-paid-services thing required to use it effectively—a search service of some kind, and your actual content provider—and the jankiness of the software and sites involved were enough to get me to give up, after spending some money but making no meaningful progress toward pirating anything.

I started my piracy journey on Napster. I’ve done all the other biggies. I’ve done off-the-beaten-path stuff like IRC piracy channels. Private trackers. I have a soft spot for Windowmaker and was dumb enough to run Gentoo so long that I got kinda good at the “scary” deep parts of Linux sysadmin. I can deal with fiddliness and allegedly-ugly UI.

Usenet piracy defeated me.
Look up old results about "BambuLab MQTT" on Google.

They use an online MQTT server instead of the local one for the following functions: initiating printing, heating the nozzle, and heating the heatbed. (see https://www.allaboutbambu.com/2024/06/14/p1p-p1s-new-firmwar...)

On https://forum.bambulab.com/t/bambu-lab-mqtt-limitations/8344... you can see their MQTT server got DDOSed by some faulty 3rd party "client".

I don't think it's so much about security of the users as much as it is about their own.

Hi Peter, thanks for doing this!

My employer has been helpful to file for my green card. I recently got "CERTIFIED" on my PERM and the lawyers are working to get my I-140 ready to file. I have some publications as first author and as a co-author is a highly respected journal.

I wanted to know if there is a path to move from EB2 to EB1? If there is, what would be the requirements to qualify? I ask this my I-140 priority date is late 2024, and the current date for my nationality is 2012. EB1 current date seems to be 2022. Is it possible to move to EB1 and carry over the priority date from the (hopefully approved) I-140?

Many thanks! I have read several of your AMAs and found them helpful!

Trump should get a pass. We voted to give him so many passes, whats one more? If we can ease his financial situation it might put him in a better mood. Lots of money makes Trump happy. There's no need in making Trump unhappy, in fact its counterproductive at this point. Voters voted to give trump a pass, so I'm fine that Trump has a few more billion.
There's a workaround for the 'pull request and required check' issue.
You create an alternative 'no op' version of each required check workflow that just does nothing and exits with code 0 with the inverse of the trigger for the "real" one.

The required check configuration on github is just based off of job name, so either the trigger condition is true, and the real one has to succeed or the trigger condition is false and the no op one satisfies the PR completion rules instead.

It seems crazy to me that such basic functionality needs such a hacky workaround, but there it is.

If you think of it from the American perspective maybe, but imagine there was a 100% tax on cars, ok, that’s definitely not just a revenue thing anymore but trying to restrict people from driving. Now make that 100% tax less for EVs, then you have more people driving around in EVs.

In America, cars and gasoline are ridiculously cheap, so the EV tax break comes from real tax revenue, rather than a tax designed to actually limit consumption. But in Norway and Denmark, where cars are taxed harshly, I doubt they say much revenue drop at all as EVs probably spurred people to buy cars who otherwise wouldn’t have.
Have you checked out Eskimo esim?

They have coupons every so often on holidays for their worldwide esims. I believe they have one going for Chinese New Years that makes 30GB for $80. The data also has a 2 year expiration that rolls over on any global data purchase.

Downside is their esims (mostly? all?) terminate in Singapore, so higher latency outside of the Asia region.
