When metrics become targets they fail to be metrics any more

Tests is the industry name for the automated paging when production breaks

DRM = Direct Render Manager

I had no idea, was confused, and the article never de-acronyms/initialisms the term

Oh, no kidding.
I always thought immutable required the declarative installs.
I guess, immutable is more “containerised userland”?

Yeh, immutable distros… You can install software, it’s just you have to declaratively define what software you want, then apply that as a patch.
You don’t just apt install cowsay, you have to create a file that defines the installation of cowsay.
This way, if you have to change how cowsay is installed, you tweak that patch file and reapply it.
If you have to wipe & reinstall (or get a new computer or whatever) you just apply all your patches, and the system is the same again.

Ooh, russian ships above the water with functioning engines. Well done Russia!

It’s the SATA cable

I think that’s how themes are distributed for VSCode, right?
With VSCode, everything is an extension.
But the vscode marketplace seems to have filters for themes, so there must be some way to differentiate them.

I think extensions need a permissions system

What makes this even more sneaky is that JetBrains has a theme called “Darcula”.

So, with a wider generic theme called Dracula and themes that duplicate JetBrains Darcula theme, it is no surprise that “Darcula Official” is being installed.
It’s more than just a typosquat

Edit:
But why can a theme make web requests?!

When learning c++ you hate c++. Then suddenly you get it, and love c++. Then you learn more c++, and you end up merely liking c++

Can’t wait for the pandemic of plastic eating fungus infecting the human race and living on the micro plastic in our testicles.
Or, like, all medical tools becoming impossible to package and ship cause of this fungus.

“broker” as a service-between-services is a great name

Invalidating creds sent over http is a great point!

For me, after looking over the docs, it’s close enough to JavaScript that it might as well adopt more of the syntax (for example, conditionals and loops don’t use parenthesis). It also has some similarities to python, but again not enough to be python.

Feels like an in-between language that has enough similarities to seem easy, but some gotchas that will regularly catch you out.
And then some extra features like the if chaining, which doesn’t have the keyword if or switch in it. So you have to know that that structure implies an if or switch conditional.

Especially for something like bash scripting, which devs probably don’t spend as much time doing compared to python or js. So, it would probably take them longer (and break their brain more) than just scripting it in python/js directly or dealing with bash directly.

It’s an improvement over bash, and it’s nice that it transpiles to bash.
I might have to play around with it and see how it actually feels to use

Ah, I see. It’s Europe *

A quick Google suggests what you have.

If the code you have quoted is verbatim what you have tried, seems like you need to extract the parentheses and possibly a single or double quote, depending on the source css. The example source you have given has a single quote.

select-before(select-after(//div/@style, "backgound-image: url("), ")") 

Should be (notice the extra ' relating to url('...url'))

select-before(select-after(//div/@style, "backgound-image: url('"), "')")

But I don’t think that would cause xpath to fail… It would just extract the wrong value

Edit:
Further reading suggests xpath 1.0 does have limited functionalities. But, like you, can’t find anything concrete.

Wireguard uses UDP.
Wireguard also strives to be “silent” for bad traffic/connection attempts. I’ve tried a cursory look to find more information on it, but nothing that explains it simply.

Either way it doesn’t turn up on port scans.

Is this curiousmarc?
I’m addicted to his videos!

Love an electroboom!

Struggling for content, huh? Only reason to include 2 full bridge rectifiers.
I mean, they are cool. And important. Surely there are other scary things to include, tho
