[How to start Colima automatically on macOS] Instructions for starting Colima automatically on macOS similar to Docker Desktop #macos #colima #docker

⚠️ Note: Since the merge of the commit Homebrew/homebrew-core#149670, starting Colima is as easy as running brew services start colima. You can skip the following work-around.

Steps

  1. Create an executable script to run in foreground and manage colima:
cat <<-EOF | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/colima-start-fg
#!/bin/bash

Function to stamp a "modified" timestamp. Adjust the name to suit your environment,
but that name is hard-coded so it is assumed that you only use _one_ such name.

Microservice bots

Microservice Bots

What they are and why you should use them

Introduction

Recently more and more chatbots appear, the overall chatbot market grows and the platform for it grows as well. Today we are taking a close look at what benefits creating a microservice chatbot on Discord - (a communication platform mainly targeted at gamers) would provide.

The concepts and ideas explained in this whitepaper are geared towards bots with a bigger userbase where the limits of a usual bot style appear with a greater effect

Information about Discord itself

Export TOTP tokens from Authy

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export to tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Principles we use to write CSS for modern browsers

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:
