Dear God,

This is not Iowa; it is California.

Can you turn on the heater a little bit?

Never trust AI won't wipe out your entire drive, or execute random shell commands because there are guardrails—ALWAYS do your work in a sandboxed environment, and make sure you commit things regularly to a repo outside the sandbox.

Hot (educated) take - normally sugared people don’t need to use a glucose meter. You’re fine. Your blood sugar didn’t “spike” from 100 to 120. You’re not unique or react uniquely to grapes or rice. You’re fine. See your doctor regularly. www.theverge.com/column/83093...

That’s exactly the manual I need right now.

SPIKE is essentially a group of compiled executables, therefore its public API surface is not too much (a bunch of `main()` functions and that's about it). However, we "extensively' document its internal packages and functions too.

Here's an example:
pkg.go.dev/github.com/s...
sqlite package - github.com/spiffe/spike/app/nexus/internal/state/backend/sqlite - Go Packages
pkg.go.dev

Just relased SPIKE v0.8.0

This is a fairly large release of 51,249 lines of code added.

Here's a quick summary (1/n):

🚀 SPIKE v0.8.0 adds complete logging and robust error handling across Nexus, Keeper & SDK — plus “encryption as a service” support in the CLI.

Musicians don’t lose their identity because they practiced “too little.”
They lose it when they don’t touch the instrument at all for months.
I'm gonna sit on that fuckin bench no matter how much pressure I am under, and whatever life throws at me.

CNCF yelpazesi altinda, lead architect'i Turk olup; kendi ana dilinde kasmadan, samimi samimi, rahat bir gelistirme ve isbirligi ortami saglayan baska bir proje oldugunu sanmiyorum.

SPIKE'a dil engeli olmadan destek olmak istiyorsan: discord.gg/kampus <- burdan alalim.

I'm going to stick up for people. It's just not commonly known that that's what they're called. I don't feel superior to people who don't know that.

Weirdly, those aren't the numerals used in Arabic. In Arabic, the numerals are ٩ ٨ ٧ ٦ ٥ ٤ ٣ ٢ ١ ٠.
