revisiting github actions

We added github actions in May and then caught an actual regression a few months later. Now the life cycle has come around to fixing a weird deprecation.

Two weeks ago I ran the “full run” code for the first time in two… Continue reading github actions

So in our case it’s a bit of overkill. I’ve taken pains to keep… Continue reading Docker and a regression
