Teammate on most recent team gave me this parting feedback: “I learned a ton, we got lots done, our team dynamics were awesome, and I’ve never felt this kind of team feeling before.”

If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.

@ptribble Finally reported: https://www.illumos.org/issues/16479 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Let's hope someone picks it up.

Containers, being an abstraction, might be situationally cost-effective when we believe that compared to the alternatives they…

- Increase declarative expressiveness
- Reduce cognitive load
- Afford options we want and constrain options we don't want

I sometimes believe that.

@grmpyprogrammer @GeePawHill the first chance to try it is always the hardest to find. It’s a bootstrap problem. You feeling sure about yourself removes one of the obstacles. In my experience, I needed some specific well placed other person to feel sure about me, too. I bet you have some of those.

So I'm trading consulting for employment: I've joined OpenSesame as an #XP coach.

Good news for #macOS #pkgsrc users:

Updating to the latest Command Line Tools (or Xcode) won't make your builds a total mess! All known regressions in 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 (or 15.3, build 15E204a) are systemically worked around.

Any trouble, ping me.

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/112082794211600330

@ska well, clang 16 and gcc 14 are both doing it, and they haven't made it hard to override. Are there better ways for compilers to push slowly toward better defaults?

---

@ska hybrid vigor, or something

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/112078555884054414

In my own code, I want compiler warnings to be errors. #macOS clang, upstream clang 16, and gcc 14 enable more of these by default. Good!

For #pkgsrc, no good. We build quarterly releases of >25k other-people's-code on dozens of platforms. What to do? https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2024/03/11/msg028994.html

#macOS Command Line Tools 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 somehow ships without m4 or yacc.

#pkgsrc has a "tools" abstraction to deal with this, so we've dealt with it: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/b889d0bc0d9edd0d04311ec0c36de73ed644ab4d

Individual packages may still pop up the CLT install dialog. Please report so we can fix them.

@riastradh seems like there ought to exist a filter that takes a message on stdin and emits a signed (or not) version on stdout, that is maintained, and that doesn’t do random other things. (If people are supposed to want to DKIM-sign things, that is, and one of course has to wonder.)

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/111842408523550513

@liw when coaching and consulting, I often feel the need to clarify that CI isn’t what a build server does. (https://agilein3minut.es/31 for a tiny bit more such opinion.)

When developering, I always want as much deterministic feedback as I can near-instantaneously get. I also want additional feedback that takes longer and/or is less deterministic, for which “CI” environments are considerably better than nothing.

@ska dug around for this thread to remind myself what you'd suggested, and after seeing it this time my brain jumped immediately to "bsdary". Too bad it sounds BSD-specific rather than merely BSD-inspired, because "bestiary" is exactly what it manages.

@ptribble happy to upgrade (thanks!), sorry to report an NFS client interop problem with macOS 14 NFS servers that looks at first glance just like the one we just fixed in NetBSD. Note that I don't think the problem is new in m33. Here's the NetBSD bug report http://gnats.netbsd.org/57691 and fix: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/fee42fd1d9cec2db989eb928c110ccc4d911165a

It may be a different bug. The smaller reproducer in the bug report does not fail the first time I run it. I have to run ls trees/foo; touch trees/foo; ls trees/foo; rm trees/foo; ls trees a second time to get into trouble.

@ska @cazabon oooh! Very cool to hear what you’ve built. We have discussed notqmail, but not here, rather by private mail (and probably several years ago, before notqmail was a going concern, and before everything for everyone went topsy-turvy). At the time you had no bandwidth for this sort of thing, so I’ll just reiterate with no obligation whatsoever that we’d love to have as much of your involvement as you feel like offering. “Zero, and stop asking” is entirely valid 🙂
