Rate limiters and circuit breakers work wonderfully well when they’re configured for the load and available capacity. But load, capacity, and latency drift over time, and keeping t…

`EDITOR=mg` is a great find. I never knew of it before! One caveat I found is that it doesn’t support unicode (at least not in the default mac installation).

You can preallocate your data structures and control memory layout in Go. Also, despite GC there’s a sizeable amount of systems programming already done in Go and proven in product…

It looks like there’s Canada to cross before reaching the US. Am I missing something?

I’m not sure. I keep asking the LLMs whether I should rewrite project X in language Y and it just asks back, “what’s your problem?” And most of the times it shoots my problems down…

I just asked Claude to create a memory system for itself for one of my projects. It created a file based utility written in Rust on its own. I offered it to use beads but it declin…

It’s a worthwhile answer if it can be proven correct because it means that we’ve found a way to create intelligence, even if that way is not very efficient. It’s still one step bet…

I’d been looking for networking books meant for software developers for a while and just ordered “High Performance Browser Networking” and “Kubernetes Networking” a few hours ago. …

Better your Dad with a funny story than your boss with a victory tale!

On-shore manufacturing requires an on-shore workforce. I’m wondering how this will sit with any company that wants to invest in on-shore manufacturing. I mean, what’s the big pictu…

My child is.

I was considering a purchase, seeing as it is such a wealth of information and history. However, there are expletives in chapter titles! That’s a no-no for a collection-worthy book…

I can’t watch the tutorial because YouTube insists on a sign-in. -_-

Subversion and lies are human behaviours projected on to erroneous AI output. The AI just produces errors without intention to lie or subvert. Unfortunately, casually throwing arou…

You're right about that. However, I find it easier to understand Go's concurrency model by starting with dataflow and then adding one more requisite (channels), than starting with …

> Funny thing about Go is that as a compiled language, folks often need to send the source-code to the deployment servers to compile on them too. Doesn't seem like a situation prec…
