I did long range (50km) radio links in the Swedish army 10 years ago. If you want to have the best possible impact I suggest you work with existing telecom companies and ISPs. They have the knowledge and the resources. Nothing you can hack

I feel this at my current job. I’m currently tearing down a “well abstracted” api and instead exposing the underlying tables more directly because no one knows how it works and adding new features to it is a PITA. At a glance it’s a lovely

Yes! It’s really good. I’m mostly a data guy with a bit of rails experience and i’m learning a lot that i think will be useful outside of just Rust.

I’m reading Zero to production in rust by Luca Palmieri. My goal is to have a small and cheap little open source app running on hetzner with good CI/CD and metrics for tiny money. I still haven’t figured it what to build though.

Every added service also gets multiplied by the number of environments you need. Sure, prod is just one. But you need a staging env too. And CI needs the service to run the tests. And you probably want a feature-branch environment. And loca

I don’t remember in detail but it wasn’t obvious for me how to set it up, which version to use, it was difficult to reason about error messages, etc. I used the docker image overv/openstreetmap-tile-server for the tiles. The isochrones

I did a similar thing but with graphhopper for routing since it supports gtfs for public transit. I was just barely able to host tiles for and travelroute Sweden on a 16GB M1 MBP. It wasn’t fun though, graphhopper felt yanky and the travel

We use datadog logs. It’s quite pricey though so we have short retention but the interface is great so if your volumes aren’t huge I think it’s a good choice.

We have an interesting situation at work. We’ve got two monoliths, both quite nice in terms of code quality, test coverage, etc. One is for the main site with listings and one is the “customer platform” that deals with offices, organization

There are lots of really good postgres extensions that provide features that seem generally useful for a wide audience. How often do good features from extensions make it in to base postgres? I’m generally very wary of extensions and plugin

No wonder we call it code. I can read most programs and get a hunch of what's going on. With assembly like this I'm completely blank.

Me too, I usually have a make “up”, “services” and “test” that do docker “compose up —detach", “docker compose down —volumes” and “rm -rf” temp dirs and run tests with whatever language i’m using. Saves a free brain cycle when switchi
