This is an interesting problem that I'm told earlier versions control systems handled better than git (I believe SVN was good at this? Unsure as I never used it). But it's an interesting problem that I've never had good tooli

I had an issue on the toll payment device on my car, so I was expecting some 'pay now or you get a fine' message. I got one on my phone, but when I logged in directly to the toll company website my account was in the green. I was

I really enjoyed this, and following the link to the Antithesis talk was really interesting as well [0] as it goes in to some of the pitfalls of random testing and some of the properties that you'd like out of a good test system. This

To be honest (and I'm just some rando so feel free to ignore me), if you have an MVP I'd say forget about development and sell what you have. You're already better than what I've seen in industry. If anything, being able

This would have been very useful at my previous job. We had a gdrive folder with '2024' or '2025' with a bunch of google docs with no inter-linking between them. If you were lucky the title would be vaguely related to th

An interesting post from Brendan Gregg on some of the 'AI Brendans' that are circulating. It's an interesting position for him where his writing has formed a useful training set for building auto-tuners for performance, one o

This was a tough read, but reflects my experience using a borrowed laptop over the last few weeks. I frequently have the whole machine slow down when I visit certain sites (geeks-for-geeks is the latest I remember).

I really enjoyed the second part of this where he went over how to give brutal-but-necessary feedback to vendors. I (and I'm sure most of us) find it so difficult to give hard feedback, particularly when you're the only one doing

I don't have a lot of experience with async to judge this on its merits, but I loved the way this moved from very simple trivial examples, and then gradually built up the motivation for the next section as we went. Zig will definitely

They also made sloppy mistakes like naming the Proven owner's partner un-redacted in a document they submitted to the court (which is then available through legal search engines). If they were concerned with privacy they could easily h

If anyone is interested in the legal side, I'd also recommend 'Runkle of the Bailey' who has a series on this saga but with a focus on the legal shenanigans [0] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3WVme9LAcQ&

I'm surprised that these things transmit at around 1Hz, I thought it'd be on the order of every 10 seconds to a minute. Given that I assume a lot of beacon devices are running on a coin cell battery I would have thought it would b

I wrote a python library that would build a perfect hash at run-time, it was basically the stupidest way you could do it - it would shell out to gperf to build the library, compile it to a shared library, then link the entry points in (I th

Ah there might be some assumption here that I didn't realise. Typically we'd have a cross walk or traffic light near the bus stop where you'd cross. I'm in Sydney so I don't know of anywhere that you'd be going

I have a question about the rules of school busses (I'm not American). It seems like the expectation is that _all_ traffic is required to stop if a bus is stopped, is that correct? If so, why? Here (Australia) the bus just pulls over a

In NSW (Australia) that's exactly how it works. And it includes 'pupil-free' days where there are no students present. My old school even had a pedestrian bridge and barriers so that it wasn't even possible to get to the

Troy Hunt's response to the Qantas data breach. We've had a handful of these recently (local telecom Optus comes to mind), and given our government's push for a digital ID, I expect we'll be seeing more soon. It's a

For me it was the combination of deadlifts and couch stretch, because I found my hip flexors were fighting to tilt my hips forward. That combination essentially 'cured' any back pain I had. It's not a real cure because if I&#
