I had to scroll too far for someone to mention third-party CI. GitHub Actions free runners have always sucked, but the third-party runner ecosystem is really strong for those who can afford it. imo the APIs are far better than the rest of the product - I suspect enterprise customers are strong-arming GitHub to keep them reliable. and there's always third-party CI like tekton if Actions' yaml is too annoying
there are quite a few features like this. I actually did a comparison of chromium vs edge headers yesterday, it's a lot more than a rebrand. shame the source code is proprietary
they avoid mentioning it, but the Microsoft managed package format (MSIX) works just fine without the Microsoft Store. create an App Installer manifest, stick it on a website, and get semver-d differential updates across multiple architectures for free: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/app-installer...
msft have woefully underinvested in the ecosystem and docs though. I wish they'd fund me or others to contribute on the OSS side - electron could be far simpler and more secure with batteries-included MSIX
That's interesting and unexpected. How does the update check, notification & install process work?
EDIT: I think your link answered some of these questions. I’m on .msi myself so can’t benefit from it yet anyway.. basically these things need to be managed by the app bundlers like electron & tauri otherwise we’re asking for trouble. I think..
Absolutely right. My comment was strictly about “for consumer use at planet scale.” It’s the aggressive adoption and rollout of confidential computing architecture in an easy to use consumer platform that I’m celebrating here. (Including a 12 figure financial commitment!) Prior to PCC, smartphones generally had to process data on device to ensure privacy.
Amazing that you comment that on an announcement that is one large effort of many that Apple have been doing to build an open-source ecosystem over many years...
shame they paywalled JWT authn behind their expensive PaaS offering :(
forced us to use an alternative, and paywalling security features in an "open source" product didn't make us feel comfortable for a long-term investment like a db
this is really helpful, thanks. how much are third-party models changing these workflows (LLMs etc)? would you still spend as much time on feature engineering and evaluation? I'm wondering whether any saved time would be refocused on hosting, especially optimizing GPU utilization
