"GitHub CI is easy", he said. "It's just bash ", he said.

  • allow you to ssh into the box itself (Gitlab/Circleci)

    In that case, things just get way easier. I can just check it out like a normal system.

    • TIFU by not using objects in my object-oriented programming coursework

  • This is one condition in which I might like the "If it runs, you get marks" examiners

    • How do you actually read?

    • "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov is one of the only 3 novels I have read, that are were not part of my school course.
    • Another one was some romance novel that I got as a prize for some competition I can't remember and I managed to force myself to read it until the end. Needless to say, I didn't like it. The setting was probably Victorian Era.
    • The third is an English translation of the Light Novel "Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei", which I am not sure when I intend on completing.

    I am a very sloow reader. Foundation was a pretty thin book and I took months. I tend to read a little, imagine it, dream on it and have fun that way and this one turned out to work really well for that. I thought of checking out the Prelude and other parts in the series, but never went ahead with it.

    I have seen myself getting intrigued by the thought the writer (may/may not have) put into the worldbuilding aspect and find myself exploring the same in my mind.

    My habits: I read what I feel like, when I feel like it. I remember having borrowed picture encyclopedias from school libraries as a child and just leisurely reading them. Those things were pretty fun too.

    • People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.

  • Except for that most of it was not.
    A lot of the noise on the screen (and speaker) was affected by radiation from nearby stuff.

    I'd think that nowadays, it would be even more so, with way more WiFi and mobile phone signals everywhere. Now sure, different frequencies mean they would affect less, but the cumulative effect would still be more than the CMBR.

    Also, I have a flat-screen CRT at home.

  • Guess GitHub can now claim to have created a lot more jobs.

    Next, for me to check out GitLab CI.

    And then keep a minimalist git serving solution for my own use.

  • Thanks, I'll look into that.
    While trying this time (as you can see in one of the commits), I added workflow_dispatch at the wrong place, causing a problem. Later realised that it is part of the on

  • I just used Google to search "zangoose github" and one of your github.io sites popped up.
    That's how I found your github.

    • To kill memory safety bugs in C code, try the TrapC fork

  • Oh, how many times have I wished for a pointer to just null itself.
    This one, depending upon how it gets implemented, should be a really good one.

    • The US government wants devs to stop using C and C++

  • Imagine if there was a hack so bad that it caused everyone to become unable to develop in C and C++.

    Well, there is one that will imply you can only develop using anything that you have bootstrapped yourself, using hardware that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself, using tools that you have designed and manufactured yourself ...

    ... with your own bare hands.

  • Well, it does have triggers for other branches:

     yaml
        
on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

    So, most probably would have a way to run it on other branches.

  • In my last workplace, I was responsible for making whatever automation I wanted (others just did everything manually) and I just appended a bunch of bash scripts to the Qt Creator Build and Run commands. It easily worked pretty well.
    I guess the fancy systems are again, just to add another layer of abstraction, when everything is running on their containers instead of ours.

  • In those cases, I just use amend.

    It's a new website afterall, nobody is pulling that.

  • I’ve been meaning on spending a morning getting Nektos/ACT running.

    I was just going to say I need to find a way to run it all on my system to learn it. If this can do it without actually having to push to GitHub, it would be really good for practice.
