I could totally get into “Ops Thriller” genre of novels like this.

I would love to turn this into a screensaver of rain falling onto a window.

AQ2 was such a fun mod. It's been a while since I played, but if I recall you could some real John-Woo style moves as if you are in an action movie. The article says that Le create…

I think that it’s probably doable in DEVONthink. There are flows to automatically OCR and to organize files into folders based on content.

After some time I find myself waiting for highly composite numbers rather than primes.

Came here to see if I was just imagining things. Thanks for confirming!

I have a .in domain email address and there have been occasions where it is rejected by some email address validation logic.

If I'm running a command in the background, and want to be notified when it's done, I usually run it like cmd; say 'files done' I wish I could use his voice though! These were soun…

I remember taking a PL class in undergrad, learning Prolog as one of a handful of languages. During that section my brain started to want to "bind" variables to things as I was goi…

Where is your data coming from? I’m curious what prevents you from inserting the data into Clickhouse without Kafka.

ClickHouse does need ZK but they have their own implementation.

There was one at BrickCon in Bellevue, WA last week! It’s my favorite part of the show. Always reminds me of queueing theory and distributed systems.

To mitigate this case you could limit capacity in terms of concurrency instead of request rate. Basically it would be like a fairly-acquired semaphore.

I felt this keenly when my children were very young. At times I only had one arm/hand free because I was holding a child in the other. Or I could only read poorly in the dark becau…

> That means what we actually want is a way to say “hey OpenTelemetry SDK, give us all the current spans in the buffer”. Isn’t this exactly what the SpanExporter API is for? This i…

When I was in college they would use a transparency projector, but instead of transparency pages, there would be a roll with a crank that you would turn to advanced the roll. You w…

I am responsible for a MapReduce-based system built about 13 years ago and it is the bane of my team’s existence right now. It was the hotness in its day, but did not age well at a…

choir.io , I had hooked it up to our raw event stream so I could “feel by audio” how our systems were running.

I always wanted to try Pelikan Cache, but it’s hard to take a risk when there is Redis. Maybe now it’s more palatable.

Autocomplete of S3 buckets. E.g aws s3 ls s3:// Also brief documentation of any arguments or flags for the command you are typing.

This seems similar to Ramit Sethi's "Craigslist Penis Effect", which IIRC basically says that you only need to try a little bit to have better results than most people.

This is fun. I used to build these REST APIs for airlines (not Southwest though). Fun to see them get some attention!

I've never been to a legit LAN party. I started out (ca 1995) in "network" gaming playing DOOM (the shareware copy, I think we could only play 3 levels). My buddies would come over…

No one would pull the Andon cord if they thought they might get fired for it.

I was playing with something like this a long time ago back when I was excited about NodeJS. I hooked up libuv to PHP and got https://github.com/dtjm/php-async which seemed to work…
