Re:GitHub merge queue is generally available on Thursday July 13, 2023 @07:34AM (#36707608)
Seems to be only available to opublic repos or enterprise customers. At least I can't see the setting in my company's private repo

Do you always put the currency behind the number? I know some countries prefer the currency infront (e.g. USD), others behind (EUR).

But since this is not a human visible field, this is probably irrelevant, right?

Proper documentation,especially API definitions. If it's just a few examples in the readme and I have to guess what the AmazongMetadataCobtextTypeProxy is supposed to represent, I am out.
Is this relying on scheduled github actions? We are using those and they are not very accurate. We regularly see jobs completely skipped or run with a lot of delay.

There is a save button right under the sci hub logo next to a Google scholar link. Opened the PDF for me on Android chrome.

Which means you have to pay more money. If we want fine-tune the permissions of each repo we have to create one user per repository.
+1 for doing this for onboarding / knowledge sharing or just brainstorming possible solutions to a problem. But do it with a clear timebox (maybe 1-2h) and breaks in between. Having to do this longer (like a whole day, even with breaks etc) would drive me nuts as well. Sometimes I just need to stare at the code for a while or draw pretty boxes with arrows on a piece of paper (kind of hard to share in a remote setting).
> - While a menu is open, hold Option;

For the app icons in the top right, clicking while Option is pressed also shows different menus. For example, the wifi icon now has options for diagnostics or the battery icon has a battery quality indicator.

Re:Ask HN: JSON Output for CLI Tools? on Friday August 07, 2020 @09:20AM (#24081467)
I understand the idea for fetching / listing resources, e.g. list me all ec2 machines.

My confusion is more about general logs ("preparing output in /tmp/randomid") and progress updates ("the job is 25% done", "deploying cluster", "docker image download: 90%"). Is that actually of interest as structured output or should that remain as human readable on stderr?

Ask HN: JSON Output for CLI Tools?

I am currently our public command-line tool some love and although we officially have an `--output=json` flag, it rarely works or does anything useful.* While thinking about how to fix/implement this for more commands I was wondering if this kind of more structured output is actually of interest/use for developers/devops/SRE?Some context: The tool in question is a client for our API and used...

Re:Radio Garden – Explore live radio by rotating the globe on Wednesday June 10, 2020 @12:34PM (#23479029)
All I want is an app that I can hotkey to my main (android) screen that starts a stream with an auto-sleep timer set to some value. I currently have to click like 6 times with various wait times to listen to my nightly "sleep time" stream.

Any app recommendations?

My friends and I play via Google Hangout and Google Draw. Works well enough.
My first IT job was building apps with Oracle Forms. To this day I miss the ease of creating a UI and some simple database tables with it.

Sadly this requires a GSuite accounts, so it is hard to try out.

JDBC is not a protocol, so they probably just created a binding between Java/JDBC and whatever AppMaker uses
At my last company where >50% of the employees were remote: yes. Although the office-visits were less often. Mostly we got together twice a year.
