Um a lot of US zip codes map to multiple cities. Some even to multiple states. If you build a picker for city/state this works fine but your premise is easily refuted if you look a…

For anyone reading this later, I got my data export and deleted my account and got a pro-rated refund. So double whammy!

I cancelled my subscription yesterday but it was going to last through March 11. Got my data export today so I just went ahead with deleting my account (figuring the next 10 days w…

I had kept my Plus subscription just because I was lazy, and it was inexpensive and convenient… but this turn definitely helped me get off the fence. I am exporting and deleting my…

I feel like excluding French toast is a serious faux pas here! Breakfast burritos are also at least as important as quiche (as in, neither are as tasty without addins - just like o…

FYI this is not true in the US. Zip codes identify postal routes not locations

I’m building an ETL tool that “just works” and gets out of the way. I can write shell scripts and python to do this stuff but honestly I just want to drop my files/API results into…

Yes I was very excited to see the new json encoding changes land, can’t wait to try them out! The new omitempty and map key marshalling in particular will help clean up some of my …

Dropping the kids off at the pool is a euphemism for a bodily function that diuretics like coffee help with…

Probably gets pretty costly if you’re running a lot of data through it. Now if you could implement a Tailscale DERP server in a lambda that would be pretty amazing: https://tailsca…

Given the redundancy of multiple locations, I think even cutting power it would be difficult to cause an extended outage.

A couple years ago I was really frustrated by Postman, it couldn't do basic JSON schema validation, and didn't interoperate well with the OpenAPI spec I had to use for serverless d…

I have a variety of Shelly 1 devices in my house, one of which is on the oldschool Garage Door opener (with a reed switch for open/close tracking) - Very inexpensive, flexible for …

Would be trivial to show the results live though, especially for atomic values: https://go.dev/play/p/PRzzO_skWoJ

Isn't it even simpler in Go? No channels necessary, Each goroutine gets an index or slice, and writes the results to a shared array. All you need is the goroutines to report when d…

API tool to automate all the stuff Postman makes painful: https://callosum.dev Spec generation from request logs, automatic schema generation and validation, test generation (event…

I'm hoping to launch my software app soon, but I was trying to throw together an initial Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It's really hard to find very many that can be easily/…

Re: the grid connection backlog - much of the challenge of turning on new generation is simulating the increasingly complex ways the grid can fail due to all the interconnections. …

How granular are the durations? If days for example you could bucket into N-week intervals (eg intervals with 7N consecutive days) to reduce the search scope. Then you only need to…

That's their math, the 23.8t/s is already the 64x but they didn't 64x the other stats.

Yeah... They are using a single-core 13W measurement to project out. For a 64x parallelization - no mention of any overhead due to parallelization or power needs of the supporting …

I mean shared hosting certainly existed but "the cloud" as we think of it today was much simpler and not nearly as ubiquitous. It doesn't really change the principles themselves bu…
