What feature is this line-highlighting in VS Code? It started showing up like this some time last week. I like the squigglies, but the full line highlights not so much. Figured it would be Error Lens, but can't find an option with a matching description. Disabled cSpell too for same reason.

Some lines in my Python script get highlighted when errors are in there.

`Copy` something on one device and `Paste` it on another is one of the coolest features when living in the Apple ecosystem. I'm using it quite a bit now that I know this feature exists.

West Europe is full, so deploying our solutions to Germany now. Creating a new thing now: > AKS is experiencing heavy usage in region germanywestcentral. We are working on adding new capacity. In the meantime, please consider creating new AKS clusters in a different region. Well, that's annoying

Someone told me I should have a click highlighter for my live demos. So I vibe coded one in 10 minutes with Codex. Meet ClickLight! Wild that we can just build this stuff now. Grab it below ↓

I'm trying to record (input and output) audio on my Mac via a #MAUI app. This works fine, but when I'm connecting my AirPods it only records silence. Probably same for other Bluetooth devices. Is there a way to record audio that way? Tried different approaches, none succeeded so far.

If you're leaving GitHub, we'd be very happy to chat! We work remotely, pay top-end of European salaries and are hell bent on building the best code forge ever. We're hiring for one intermediate/senior role right now: jobs.tangled.org/software-eng.... Go, Firecracker, distributed systems.

You know, now is probably a good time to recruit GitHub employees. I know that if I worked there, I would be actively interviewing (...and being oddly silent on social media)

Homebutler rolls Docker ops, dashboards, backups, app installs, multi-server SSH, and Wake-on-LAN into one Go binary. The MCP layer is optional, not the gimmick. This is the kind of project that replaces a ragged pile of shell scripts and tiny SaaS subscriptions. github.com/Higangssh/ho...

Me: "The problem you solved still occurs. Here's the crash report, fix again." Copilot: "The user ran the app twice in the same broken build... A new build with the fix would take at minimum several minutes — impossible in 66 seconds." Looks like my machine is too fast, it's calling me a liar...

Installed XCode and learning about `maccatalyst-arm64` and `Microsoft.MacCatalyst.Sdk` platforms and packages. Guess what I am doing... I'm just so glad @jfversluis.dev is located in the same timezone :-)

Ah yes, I just love me some client-side secrets. That way I can fetch the secret values from the response payload and use it for myself. Just received something like this from a service I'm using. ``` { "is_secret": true, "secretKey1": "abc", "secretKey2": "def" } ```

"We aren't given time to write tests." is an excuse I heard today at a firm. Meanwhile, the PR reviews take numerous hours of people manually validating if the changes work. I thought we, as an industry, had moved forward and accepted creating tests is part of the job. Guess not.

Is there a way to check where Authenticator requests originate from? The past couple of nights a request came in and I'd like to check where it's coming from if possible. Obviously, I wasn't awake to approve or decline.

The new Teams update with buttons for the type of chats you have is rather annoying. Whenever there's an unread message I now have check if it's in Channels, Chat, Meeting Chats or in one of the other tenants I'm in. Many clicks that only required scrolling until yesterday.

New Teams options where you can select chats based on Unread, Channels, Chats, Unmuted, Meeting chats

TIL: the order of the firewall rules in the #Unifi Policy Table don't reflect the actual order of rules. You need to go to the Zones and select the policies for a specific zone (Internal to Internal in my case). This table reflects the order This has cost me quite some hours troubleshooting

It's amazing to experience I can print in black & white, color, double-sided, different orientations, etc. from my phone (iPhone) without configuring anything, 'it just works'. But when printing from a PC or Mac I need to do a bunch of stuff and still can only print black&white in single orientation
