killer way to market a product. Here's a blog post with interesting information that just so happens to advertise how you can use our product

The amount of hidden engineering in Analog systems is mind blowing. Imagine how many hours were spent in a lab figuring out the exact right timings, chemical mixtures, and circuit …

It's a shame that they can't transition it to a read-only archive type site, where everything is still accessible and playable- jut no new updates or content.

Man. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was on linux. Good luck! It looks like an amazing product.

Not really. Nomad is closer, and Mesos (the old one) is closer still. I wrote my own as a rust library, and I'm in the progress of further breaking it apart. Might get a prototype …

Same & Agreed. Be aware of what you're doing, and make sure you can realistically be sober 10 out of every 14 days. Dependence/Addiction needs to be avoided at all costs.

I think the part of the discussion that is ignored here is the security aspect. Apple has hardened their hardware against attackers replacing components of the phone with compromis…

Previous Job had an in-house RPC system and there was a desire to move to gRPC. This process largely turned into "name and shame" because there was no incentive for some teams to p…

I'm not saying that they should not be active developers, but people who can enforce change across the entire organization. Previous Job (2500+ devs by the time I left) had an in-h…

Yep. SRE is not a substitute for high level, overarching architects and designers. One pattern I see is that, as the company grows the development gets split into different product…

A very solid article giving a very good technical answer to the question of which should you pick.

PHP & Perl come to mind. You write your program, scp it and it's dependencies to your www/cgi-bin folder on your server, and then navigate to the URL.

You give CloudFormation a list of instructions. It accepts it and gives you an ID to watch for updates, then it goes off and executes them. Terraform executes a list of instruction…

Begun. The way for us to actively make changes is to do donation projects today. The speed of government is not an advantage here.

I do: 1. Run a small solar array on my balcony, with recycled lithium batteries for storage. I've made ~100kW of power which I use to basically charge all my devices. 2. Growing Al…

I wish IBM had a massively lower barrier to entry. They have a lot of amazing products and tech, but the only way you can use it is to buy a license. When I want to make a simple a…

Yes. If I need to learn a specific product/tech, I build something with it. If I need to learn a library we're going to adopt, I'll take one of the ideas I have floating around imp…

What a sad state of the web, when websites are so resource intensive that a service can exist that you can offload the computation onto.
