To properly decode binary data in Swift, it helps to be able to incrementally read the data and convert it to a Swift type.

If you want to be able to parse Bluetooth data, you need to be able to decode it.

If you're using Actions Runner Controller, the provided base image may not be enough.

Your supply chain is frequently the most vulnerable part of your development process.

To develop a Bluetooth application for iOS in Swift, we need a 24-bit unsigned integer.

Google has announced an initiative that will change the way certificates are issued, impacting 50% of companies.

The first step in building a Bluetooth Low Energy app is understanding the basics of how data is provided to clients using Services and Characteristics.

If you want to make an efficient image for GitHub Actions Runner Controller (ARC), you need to first understand how to prepopulate the runner's tool cache.

Understanding ARC begins with understanding what it does (and does not do) to create runners on Kubernetes.

The dev container specification was updated to better define the behavior of initializeCommand.

Fun fact: adding 0.1 to 0.2 doesn't exactly equal 0.3 in most programming languages.

Whether you’re developing drivers, building appliances, or testing system deployments, you need to test your code.

Whether you're dealing with bad credentials or connectivity issues, there are a few tricks with Git that can make it easier to understand what's happening.

Sometimes you just need a little human interaction.

Kubernetes and containerized systems mount drives and folders as volumes, but there is another option.

To master containers, it's important to understand the concept of layers.

I was recently asked if I knew how to automate creating Azure Entra ID (formerly Active Directory) applications.

There are some common issues that lead to teams struggling to set up ARC, and nearly all can be avoided with these recommendations.

There are some common issues that lead to teams struggling to set up ARC.

I recommend using a dedicated Kubernetes cluster with GitHub Actions Runner Controller (ARC) to get the best performance and security.

Security is important, even in your CI/CD processes.

Many teams want to have GitHub self-hosted runners on Kubernetes using ARC, but aren’t aware there are two different versions.
