Last Tuesday I lost about three hours to a regression in our checkout service. The cart total was off by a cent on certain promo combinations, and the only signal was a Slack ping from finance with a screenshot. No stack trace. No exception. Just wrong numbers. I did what I always do first. I opened the diff for the last deploy, scrolled, squinted, and tried to feel my way to the bug. Forty minute
I Built a VS Code Extension to Bring IntelliJ’s “Show History for Selection” Experience If you come from IntelliJ, you probably miss one super useful feature in VS Code: Show history for selected lines. I built a new extension to solve exactly that. Show History for Selected Code This extension helps you inspect Git history for a specific code selection, not just the whole file. Shows commit h
Microsoft's 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' Tag: Unpacking the Strategic Play for AI Dominance in VS Code The persistent insertion of 'Co-Authored-by: Copilot' into commit messages within VS Code—often irrespective of GitHub Copilot's active contribution to specific changes—is far from a benign engineering detail. It represents a calculated, multi-faceted strategic maneuver by Microsoft, signaling a pr
I have a bad habit of jumping between projects. It's not a big deal. But it happens every single day. So I built rewind. rewind That's it. No setup, no IDE, no agent loop burning through tokens. Just one binary, one command, one LLM call. cargo install git-rewind GitHub: https://github.com/Chronos778/git-rewind Would love feedback — on the idea, the UX, anything. Still early days.
As we have talked about before, the Internet relies on numerical addresses, IP addresses to route data from one device to another. IPv4 offers around 4.3 billion addresses, we have discussed that that is not enough. While there is IPv6, another solution to this issue is through Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address. T
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Rather than manually assigning IP addresses to devices when they join the network, DHCP does this on its own. Once a new device connects to the network, the DHCP is responsible for assigning in network configuration parameters such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, and an IP address. This saves time and effort as you do not have some
If you use GitHub's merge queue and had a rough week around April 23rd, 2026, you were not imagining things. Your code actually disappeared. Not because of a bad commit, not because of a rogue team member, but because GitHub itself quietly deleted it. This is the story of what happened, why it was way worse than the official numbers suggest, and what it means for the way we all trust the tools we
Optimisation HLS pour DOMTOM Ce dépôt documente une approche orientée ingénierie réseau pour optimiser la distribution HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) dans les territoires DOMTOM. L’objectif est d’améliorer la stabilité de lecture, la latence effective et la robustesse face aux variations de gigue, tout en respectant les contraintes de décodage client, de parsing de manifestes, et de routage ISP.
