a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Re-declaration of existing `NSRange` functions and implementation of new functions to match conventions of comparable Foundation and Core Foundation types.

NS_INLINE NSUInteger NSRangeMax(NSRange range) {
return NSMaxRange(range);

NS_INLINE BOOL NSRangeContainsLocation(NSUInteger loc, NSRange range) {
return NSLocationInRange(loc, range);

What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.

GitLab CI local development
# The central problem right now, is that gitlab-runner exec was deprecated with GitLab 10 - and then undeprecated later,
# because of missing alternatives - see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/issues/2797
# So this guide is somehow only a work documentation on how I tried to use this feature
### OPTION 1: Install gitlab-runner directly on your system
# See
# http://bryce.fisher-fleig.org/blog/faster-ci-debugging-with-gitlabci/index.html
# Install GitLab Runner locally

NixOS on Hetzner Cloud

This is the gist of how to setup a NixOS server on a Hetzner Cloud instance with an admin user, ssh access and configuration management via git.

  2. Stop the instance (top right corner icon).
  3. Go to ISO Images.
  4. Search for "nixos" and click mount. ISO Images tab of a Hetzner Cloud instance with the NixOS image already mounted
  5. Start the instance again (top right corner icon).
  6. Open the console (top right corner icon).
  7. Get the IP address by executing ip --brief --color address. The address can also be optained from the Hetzner Cloud web interface.

updating vscode-postgressql to work on apple silicon

vscode-postgresql for apple silicon

The currently published version of vscode-postgresql (0.3.0) uses a very old version of pgsqltoolsservice that doesn't support Apple silicon, newer versions do but the extension is not configured to use the newer versions.

While waiting on Microsoft's team to accept a PR, there are small changes to fix this now.

  • Install the psql extension
  • Navigate to the extension root on the file system (normally ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-ossdata.vscode-postgresql-0.3.0/)
  • Update two files: config.json and platform.js
  • Reload the window or close/restart vscode
