No, that's not accurate. The same core people were involved.

(I was on the Go team for ages) Seriously, that's all it was. Just Ian alone proposed and rejected a half dozen of his own different approaches to generics. Finally a language + im…

Well now I want to see the images that got this taken down.

This post inspired me to have Claude port my 30 year old high school German Java applet game to Javascript, complete with a faked git history: https://github.com/bradfitz/koffer#de…

Yeah, I remember writing epoll libraries for Perl ( https://metacpan.org/pod/Sys::Syscall , first out 2005-08-01) doing raw system calls because libc on the distros of the time (at…

In other words, it's still super heavy if it's forking a process per connection. I find it ridiculous that PgBouncer even needs to exist. Postgres should be doing this.

I'm 46 now. I remember being shocked at Postgres's heavy connection model when I was 23. I gather things haven't improved since?

We found it at Tailscale and bought an enterprise support contract from SQLite to debug it for us. Worth every penny. We should probably blog about it.

2008? I had the Roku HD1000 [1]. :) My email search: "Welcome to the "Roku-tech" mailing list" ... "Tue, Dec 2, 2003, 10:48 AM" Not sure how I ended up on the mailing list a month …

I wrote that library originally for dl.google.com: https://go.dev/talks/2013/oscon-dl.slide#1 I then open sourced it in Jan 2013 in what was then named Camlistore (now Perkeep) in …

IIRC, that's only for Linux guests that can nest. macOS can only one level deep. That is: you can't have a macOS guest (running on the Apple hardware host) make its own macOS guest…

Oh no.

I can’t tell you how relieving it is to hear somebody else complain about this. This has been my pet peeve for ages.

Well, this has sucked up a couple days of my free time so far... :)

I find myself using OpenSCAD regularly to 3D print little things for the house. (Most recently: hooks to attach Christmas lights to our roof deck's glass walls) And when something …

I seem to recall reading that as a kid too, but I can't find it now. I keep finding references to "Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective" about a Civil War sword being fake (instead of…

I've been idly following this stuff on & off for years, but I never saw proving a point "instead of using Rust" as one of the motivations of the project. Was that ever stated anywh…

Until they start using Sidewalk/LPWAN type things automatically instead of your home WiFi.

I had to go look that up! I assume that's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feeling_of_Power ? (Not a janitor, but "a low grade Technician"?)

Related, I gave a 6 minute lightning talk about writing tests in Go that use the test binary itself as the PID 1 under an emulated Linux in QEMU: https://docs.google.com/presentati…

How many of those additional 1,643 were a result of your 2014 blog post? :)

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

I'm a co-author of tsidp, btw. You don't need tsidp with a Tailscale-native app: you already know the identity of the peer. tsidp is useful for bridging from Tailscale auth to some…

Primarily using Tailscale for authentication as well, replacing perkeep's other auth methods.
