👋 Welcome to Tipsrundan! A biweekly newsletter by AFRY IT South with ❤️
Free online IDEs, PostgreSQL hickups & sustainable lab-grown ☕ is just a few of the key articles for today!
Let's start by clarifying something:
GitHub Codespaces full version is only available for paying GitHub Teams (orgs) and GitHub Enterprise edition.
But, we can use the free version which is a much simpler variant that excludes the environment. This means that you cannot run the code.
Then what's the point you might ask?
The point is that we can edit our files and upload them to GitHub through a VS Code interface directly in the browser. No more pesky webUI that's annoying without a filesystem.
How do I activate this mode?
- Replace
github.comwithgithub.devon your filepath in your repository - When having a folder or file open in GitHub press
.and thegithub.devwill open up with a VS Code GUI.
Pro-Tip if you want to take this a step further make sure to try out gitpod.io which gives 50h runtime freely.
Last Tipsrundan I asked you all if you used Linux, and if not why?
I'm happy to say that I got a lot of answers, so thanks! 🥳
So what are the reasons to, or not to, have Linux?
- Gaming - This is the 1st reason to have Windows
- WSL - WSL is pretty good today and allows you to game and develop
But a few of us are happy with the classical Dual-Booting, the main reasons being for fun or Deep Learning. I know PopOS! got a vote or two. Got a favorite distro? Ping the #technical_discussions with your favorite!
It's the 10th time that Lars closes 10% of all bugs in Emacs.
Throughout this blog-post by the Emacs co-maintainer Lars goes through
some of his goals and also gives some insightful visualization that I think
a lot of us could make use of to show leadership more clearly
what is happening.
It's also rather interesting following his thoughts and thinking further about bug-squashing (maintenance).
Gitlab noticed that the database of Gitlab.com would stall for minutes sometimes, giving users the error-message 500.
Through a long debugging they found that it was a SAVEPOINT SQL Query that was the root cause.
What is a SAVEPOINT? Why did this impact? How do we fix it?
Read to learn! (and make sure to join #bokcirkel or #technical-discussions if you'd like to discuss this further)
Simply put this is a new way to run Android on Linux, by their own words:
A container-based approach to boot a full Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system like Ubuntu.
Have you used Waydroid? Or another emulator/virtualization tech? Let us know more about your experiences on slack in #technical-discussions!
This news made me really excited - a Finnish company has successfully created lab-grown coffee.
Personally I believe that one of multiple things that needs to accelerate for us to
put a brake on the environmental impact is lab-grown groceries.
Coffee is a great step forward which shows us the possibilities.
Thank you for this time see you in two weeks
