This is a fantastic primer. A few suggestions: - Add a "last updated" note, since this space changes often (see the prefect/dagster situation that just happened) - Add a note about…

Still noodling on https://skaldmaps.com , which lets you compare and rank all US ZIP codes, counties, and census tracts to find good places to move to and/or invest in. Based on an…

I had dinner with Evan at Scala Days last year and had no idea who he was until he casually mentioned Elm. He is delightful and had some great insights on the philosophy behind Elm…

I'm sure they've done the math. Mac has ~8% revenue share for Apple and I (naively) assume they'll just account for a 20% drop in sales with 20% higher prices. Personally, if my Ma…

I've been working on https://skaldmaps.com/ for a while. Lets you explore, filter, and rank locations (ZIP/counties/tracts) in the US to find places to move to and/or invest in. ~4…

This is exciting - congrats on the 1.0 release! I'm a big fan of QGIS, but doing stuff browser side is just _terribly_ convenient (I also never got anything 3D to work on my M2 Mac…

> This all means that small businesses, that have long used social media for free promotion have to up their game. I've recently tried to promote a product on social media (well, I…

I had this conversation the other day. I'm a native German speaker originally, which is why I hand out commas like it's candy and capitalize things unnecessarily. Sometimes I notic…

I just got a Bambu P1S (they are / were on sale since the P2S came out) and the difference to my Ender 3 is truly night and day. I almost never used the Ender, since it always resu…

I love Kagi. I understand the niche this fills. I even understand not open sourcing it yet. But what I really miss is a self-hosted sync server. I don't want to use a browser witho…

> none single-thread performance (relatively) I find horizontal scaling with many smaller cores and lots of memory more impactful for virtualization workloads than heavy single cor…

That's good to know, thank you. It's using the official charger in the rack, but I used the charger I've had on my desk while setting it up. I added a note to the article.

Run whatever you like! I personally enjoy the big machines (I've also always enjoyed meaninglessly large benchmark numbers on gaming hardware) and enterprise features, redundancy e…

I just commented on this above, but I actually got for the Pi for free and it's a very capable device. I wouldn't buy one for this use case (nor do I really recommend it, but it _d…

You'd be delighted (or terrified) to know that I just added an old gaming computer in a 4U case to the cluster, so I can play with PCI/GPU passthrough. The Dell is essentially the …

Proxmox is essentially a clustered hypervisor (a KVM wrapper, really). It has some overlap with K8s (via containers), but is simpler for what I do and has some very nice features, …

I usually agree (and enjoy reading angry threads years later), but wasting screen real estate and getting measurably worse in terms of accessibility is simply not a good design dec…

I adore QGIS. I just built a map (and corresponding GeoPDF file for offline use) for two local wildlife management areas last weekend (and subsequently used them while on them).

I do both. The primary server runs Proxmox and I have a physical TrueNAS box as backup server, so I have to do it by hand on Proxmox. “Have to”, since I no longer suggest virtualiz…

Seems interesting. The article is a bit light on details around producers and schema management - how would this look like for existing protobufs going to Kafka? How does it handle…
