The pervasiveness of “ran” in sentences like: “And if we had ran the tests first…” has broken me.

Has JCS gotten any traction? I'll eventually have a need for something like JSON signing and recall seeing the JCS draft and a handful of test implementations, but it seemed like really early days for it.

I've put the "Package Opener" tool on my Leatherman Wingman ( https://www.leatherman.com/wingman-11.html ) to good use for many years against these clamshell/blister/etc. packages. It's a good de

Thanks for sharing your experience. My career has drifted around a bit between IC and management, but I’ve always been highly technical. At the point (20 years in) I’m wondering what’s next, because up (Principal levels, directorships, etc.

First, I love the idea, and thank you for building this. I have some accessibility feedback on your blog, though, which I'm just now reading. The visited link color is nearly indistinguishable from the body text. I returned to some pag

I’m glad to hear of your eventual improvement to a sudden onset case. I’m about 2 months into some likely barotrauma following a random swimming incident. (Innocent stuff… just diving into a deep pool at a rec center, I felt pressure as I w

I've only kicked the tires, but https://neon.tech is a pure hosted Postgres play. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has used them for a real projects, and how that went.

That's what I'm using, but the uptake by others isn't good. I can't really blame them since it is a fairly heavy app with tons of reports and charts.

I wish I could find a self-hostable version of a basic family tree like this. The various genealogy apps I've set up have been too complicated and off-putting for my extended family. They just want to easily browse a family tree and se

I used to be the target audience and really enjoyed having my system just right, sorting and tagging everything, etc. But over the years I realized that I wasn’t really benefiting much, and gave SwiftScan on my iPhone + dumping into and iCl

Specifically on the latency question, have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/18779822 for a basic explanation. tldr, once you allow for two-way communication you can start to factor out the network delay.

The improvements from using a transaction are familiar to me and make intuitive sense. But can someone explain why using a prepared statement results in a roughly 5x improvement? Parsing the very simple SQL doesn't seem like it would a

I do wish, for their own good, OpenTF/Tofu would stop making this comparison. What insight do they have about HashiCorp’s resourcing beyond some git commit history? Surely these folks know there are many more folks involved in providin

There are numerous comments here about the licensing change and that this could be related, but HashiCorp announced this at Google Cloud Next (and on their own blog), so it seems like a fairly standard partnership arrangement.

Currently the iPad has been filling that role for the most part. His peers seem to be on iPhone/iMessage, so he’s able to participate in those group chats after school. This seems to be sufficient for now. If anything, I’m hearing from

My son just started middle school, and quickly we were hit with a new salvo of requests for a smartphone. Rather than immediately provide reasons why not, we've decided to turn it around and have him explain what he wants a smartphone

I'd say that "screen time" is just a convenient categorization since, for the most part, kids are so drawn to addictive and arguably low-value content that once those things are off, there is no interest in the screen. I&#x27

I wonder if they tolerate basic cellular watches, like GizmoWatch? We have one for our 9 y/o and it seems like good value. We can know where she's at and can reach each other, but that's about it.

For four years I listened to Dave (CEO) talk while at HC, and while he could easily go on at length, there was a decent amount of word salad too. All of the “did he really mean…???” comments here are like straight of Slack during an all han

Why do you think the SLS term is an inside joke? I actually appreciate the succinct directness of it tbh.

“React is antiquated…” “If you’re looking for a modern framework…” I’ve also been hearing the same critique against Go basically since it came out. Meanwhile, the companies I’ve worked at continue to ship with these antiquated technologies
