Programmer work product (typically) benefits the capital class, directly via product engineering or indirectly via platform engineering. If the aspiration of a 10x or more programm…

I cannot describe how disappointing it is to be switching to this insane time limit window based pricing. I absolutely abhor that I'll be subjected to 5 hour chunks of time where I…

Ahhhh yes thank you for this link! I'm working on a project and my agent referred me to the factbook. It said all this great savory information was made available on the factbook w…

I wonder if this will wind up being true. Yes it’s cheaper to produce an app but most normies I know don’t really want to produce an app. No instead they want to consume a curated …

Perfect…! I’ll check out Alex Rome. Sounds like you’re ahead of me then! The game I’m working on off & on is a 32v32 moba. I want the gameplay of Heroes of the Storm but with the m…

Good point w/ journaling and maybe even preparing stuff to share. Right now it feels like trying to eat a whale whole. …That’s the beauty of doing something in a new (to me) domain…

Hi! I recently (2 weeks) chose this software to invest time into in order to make music/sfx for video games. Do you personally use this software to create music yourself? Just curi…

Hobbyist game dev here. Getting into audio and music effects has been fun but I constantly feel overwhelmed. I chose Ardour as my DAW (digital audio workstation) and have been exci…

I remember when Ubuntu decided to reroute apt installations into SNAP installs. So you install a package via apt and there was logic to see if they should disregard your command an…

Why wait so long? Do it now… This is the same company who creates internal systems that encourage wringing out every drop of effort no matter how many piss bottles litter their wor…

I call it silly because essentially I’m complaining that I don’t like setting up a service on an OS I don’t normally set up services for. My quibbles with that process can in part …

I’m so close to the switch myself for silly reasons. I don’t like windows due to their creepy business practices and negative design patterns in their OS so I’m very bias against i…

I always thought the companies I worked for would implement chaos testing shortly after this talk/blog released. However; only last year did we do anything even approaching chaos t…

Updates: meditating on the description of your Rust supervisor helped clarify my own approach. - Go based supervisor daemon runs as a systemd service on the host. I configure it to…

What’s the difference between scraping and malicious scraping? Does google engage in scraping or malicious scraping? Do the AI companies engage in scraping or malicious scraping?

I really appreciate your perspective! Pretty clear you’re someone who digs deep, doesn’t accept constraints given (eg ‘everyone’ desired an AWS based solution but that didn’t narro…

Hmmm makes sense. Sounds like I may have a misunderstood mental model of resource consumption. I ought to reread https://technology.riotgames.com/news/valorants-128-tick-ser... (sp…

> If you can avoid Orleans and kubernetes and all that, the better. It just adds complexity to this setup. I’m starting to appreciate simplicity away from containers that’s why I’m…

Funny. I probably will dive into Nix some day but I've been content letting it sit waiting for me to check it out.

If I understand correctly you're saying you manage hardware yourself (colocate in a data center? Dedicated hosting?) and that gives you an edge in pricing. That's pretty cool, and …

Mmmm, I remember reading this in Systems Performance Brendan Gregg. I should revisit what was written…
