Ahhh, Vaxman still up to his usual shenannigans :-)

The answer honestly feels a bit lacking, and evasive.

I've had exactly the same situation, ~2M MAU service with REDIS as the only persistence system, all data being JSON serialized Pydantic models. The storage overhead was just terrib…

How is the write support now-adays, is it production quality now? I used Kaitai in a IoT project for building data ingress parsers and it was great. But not having write support wa…

I honestly zoned out when I saw how many and what steps where required before just wget'ing a image file. Sorry, nope.

Well....toml isn't that much more than .ini files slightly brough up in feature support. Again not great for bigger documents.

This also seems a bit like AWS Chalice reinvented, which might be a good thing as AWS has silently abandoned it.

Great read, but I honestly had wished the author had split it into several separate articles.

I had this literally happen to me a couple of months ago. Slacking off while waiting for some performance tests to run (Shoutout to Locust.io!) with my big 27" screen full of termi…

Provision a VPS/VM/Cloud instance/etc, install your dev tools on it and use it over mush. And remember for things like looking up git commands or even a lot of your dependency docu…

....Atreides Management? The financing arm of a aristocratic line running a personality cult and who have a nepo baby on the cards contemplating a little bit of jyhad as his ticket…

The thought someone went from no programming background, taking a company internal course and then writes a GPU emulation layer in the 90's is just absolutely mad. Super impressive…

M68k has the advantage that it has a fairly typical memory model. Alpha's memory model has problems with providing atomic access to single bytes, which i'd imagine in a kernel is a…

The ghost of the Alpha's infamously weak memory model coming back to bite it's undead self.

Linux on AMD64 happened.

My request was ignored at first, after i sent a new request with my business email i got a community license link sent within an hour.

I've used Haskell several times for implementing isolated 'maths business logic units in commercial backend applications. In one such system I built had the main (REST API exposing…

I think it's even weirder how Sharp/Hudson decided to superficially clone MSDOS for the X68000 independently.

I'm a heavy ReMarkable user, mostly as a note taking device when doing client meetings. For personal use I use it a lot for annotating philosophy papers and source materials, and t…

I had one in the early 00's. Especially liked packet radio stuff back then, but due to regulatory restrictions in practice the networks built are not really all that useful other t…

It's just a bummer the community around it is super-cultish.

Sorry to reply to a random comment of yours, but did you ever publish your CM-2 emulator?

If you have important Mac disks to archive, then a Kryoflux is probably the way to go. It's a external USB attached floppy drive controller that uses a normal PC floppy drive. It r…

I use that mode on a Panasonic S1R to scan 5x4" film negatives, it does actually work. However it requires a solid reproduction column mount, excellent lenses, perfect focus and vi…

I tried to look it up, but are any bootable GNO/ME disk images around? I'd like to see it run in an emulator just out of curiosity.
