Same, this was around 2004-2006ish when I maintained a Gentoo build for my Pentium 4 box. There was this somewhat draw to me of compiling my own binaries highly optimized to my pro…

Interesting, as I kinda share also that there are lines to be drawn between software architecture, design and implementation (all three). Much like in the real world building of re…

Also loved that show. It aired through my teen years (90s) in Discovery Channel. There are other similar shows like this such as Next Step.

Getting there to "Skynet", if this takes off. Amazon already is listening via Echo and Ring and now this.

This may also apply to non-CS things you've learned in the past, such us biology, chemistry, physics, math, etc, to a varying degree.

Just checked my EverNote stats for me to comment here. I have 1500+ Notes spanning more than 10 years (since 2011). I have 18 notebooks as major categorization of work-company-A vs…

Any link to deployable dockerized versions?

Within the past two to three decades at least, I saw much of the tech world grow (for better or worse), benefiting from NIH inclined innovation + OSS bazaar model; some random evol…

Try to watch Gary Bernhardt's "Boundaries" screencast (2012), if you haven't yet. There are also some collection of links in github such as https://gist.github.com/kbilsted/abdc017…

I follow the Functional Core, Imperative Shell pattern. I do TDD on Core, especially on mission critical code. The Shell however have almost zero automated tests.

To add, HK's land area is orders of magnitude smaller than the U.S. Maybe Americans can simply afford to build on far bigger land given their income.

Yes as I also have several GCam versions on my phone and I'm also a fan of HDR+ and the portrait mode. But we have to admit it has its limits compared against a far bigger sensor w…

I had my Nikon D40 paired with 35mm since 2008 and its shutter failed late last year. It served me well at ~60k shutter count for more than 10years, taking beautiful photos of trav…

I just migrated 2 weeks ago a fairly sized DB (300GB) from Digitalocean to Hetzner cloud. The previous DO plan was an old one not offered anymore, 2vcpu dedicated, 6GB ram, costs 8…

I'm personally observing that soda companies have diversified their products across sugary drinks and foods, acquisition or new proxy companies even (at least here in Asia). So cal…

Is this running macOS, 'coz I'm seeing a dock!

Same boat. I'm still on Sierra and still have concerns as a colleague on High Sierra almost hosed his system with APFS. Any stability issues on the new file system?

Same with me, they're my go-to dockerized automated https reverse proxy setup. Takes a few minutes to setup. But recently though, I grew tired of handling 2 or more docker images, …

This is an example of the Inner-platform effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect

They're still selling th 15in rMBP w/out touchbar. https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch But then again, this has the same specs as a 2015 machine: with all the fu…

This. I really like the analogy that of running a city. There are just so many concerns in and around building and running microservice architectured systems: security, logging/ana…

There are no benchmark numbers to back the claim that it's fast. At least the OP should have done some measurements; I'm interested in anything that will speed up our DB's 300+M re…

Didn't they stopped offering the $12/yr unlimited photos plan? I was on that plan and last year I was migrated off to the 60usd/yr unlimited everything plan.

I'm also following a similar blog: http://futureinterface.tumblr.com/
