I use socket activation instead of running reverse proxy with `CAP_NET_BIND`. Caddy supports socket binding, and can handle SSL certs. I now just log-in every week or so and run `j…

The missle that struck MH17 detonated just above the cockpit

I don't think Linus can merge from GitHub. Linux requires DCO and it to be reviewed by 2 people (or maybe this is outdated now?)

Some of these issues were solved by Spark. Do agree with the overall point, people shouldn’t be reaching for Hadoop when Postgres would suffice. Indexes are fast. Use them.

It's easy to hide things in the Python build process as well. Things like using `getattr` instead of . (dot) etc

What's the recommended way to learn RISC-V assembly (including SIMD)? For ARM I just found a book I liked and did the exercises on my Mac M1 (replacing system call numbers etc and …

I’ve never seen such an incorrect statement in my life — have you ever been to Europe?

Yeah but why pay someone to look after databases when I could get them do something else that'll have way more value. Using managed services just reduces how much money I have to s…

Yep I just changed the font size to 18px in my dev tools and it looks better. Still don't think serif fonts are the best for a blog but guess that's just my opinion.

Probably but reading something online is different to print

The font on that site is awful and too small. I’m on a MacBook Pro Retina 2015

You can just write char drivers that operate a slab of kernel memory, and implement all the syscalls like open, read, write on that piece of memory.

Might be a bit controversial but I found writing drivers for Linux on my raspberry pi helped me understand kernels, virtual memory etc. I used Linux Device Drivers (ldd3) which is …

Looks like the anti-glare coating is coming off too. That happened to my MacBook and Apple replaced the whole screen for free, that's pretty good considering it was 4 years old.

Isn't that the same with any hardware you get? Someone could intercept your server from Dell and put malware on it.

That site is awful on mobile and filled with ads. Makes it impossible to read.

Is CoffeeScript all but dead? I use Ruby and Python a lot so the syntax of CoffeeScript looks great to me!

>They also have poorly trained pilots, who either aren’t qualified for ILS or aren’t confident in poor conditions - on numerous occasions I’ve been on flights which they’ve diverte…

What do you do about backups? I saw you only have one DC, are you worried about that DC being flooded etc and losing all your data?

https://www.lewis8s.codes I mainly make guides on how to use technologies such as Kubernetes and AWS amplify. Feel free to post any criticism.

I mean when modern GPUs are $1000 I'm curious how you think $9.99 is too much.

I run my blog https://www.lewis8s.codes on AWS Amplify. It connects to a GitHub repo and builds it every time there is a commit to master. Uses CloudFront on the backend too. Costs…

Not really IO is always going to be slow compared to the CPU. The Python interpreter will be blocked 90% of that time waiting for IO anyway.
