As a general class operator under 40 I wish it was the latter. Marconi and the other greats in the history of radio were people messing around in an unregulatedish space. The only place you find those kinds of hams anymore is in THz operato

Amateur Radio has a chance to become massively popular through a resurgence of interest in mesh networking but unfortunately laws are not evolving fast enough for this to become possible. Right now it's illegal to transmit encrypted da

(Opinions are my own) Chubby is a lot like etcd except without the hindsight. Distributed locking is pretty complicated and if I remember correctly there was a great podcast from Google's Kube podcast about distributed locking that goe

In the few times I've priced blended connections at most Colo locations unmetered 10G is ~500/month to ~1000/month. 5Gbps*1 month is ~1.5 PB. AWS is about 0.02/gb or ~30k/1.5pb. Approximately 30x the cost. These are

It depends. When you tell developers "you must have 100% code coverage" they usually write tests that don't actually validate any functionality and instead get into every if block. Tests are useful when they test edge cases a

I wish more posts on documentation talked about some of the principles that make similar documentation platforms excel. Specifically, there has been hugely positive feedback from engineers about g3doc: https://www.youtube.com&#x2

So much right and so much wrong about Ubuntu's IoT management infrastructure. Really, when managing a distributed fleet of machines, you want to have a few things that almost no platforms provide: 1. Atomic rollforward of remote machin

One of the things that I love about Bazel is it thinks of a binary that obeys a contract as a test. This means you can have things like `sh_test` which just runs a shell script in a sandbox and gives you all of the benefits Bazel has normal

The special sauce was establishing standards that were used across the code base that we could detect. For example, all configs were from environment variables in the form of `<ServiceName>_<DestinationName>_URL` or something. I

One thing that was doable in my last company where I used gRPC was I made interfacing with the gRPC API dead simple. Something like `connect(ServiceBlockingStub.class)` was in your code and it would instantly pull configs, build the service

There's no reason you couldn't use gRPC with json as a serialized message format. For example grpc-gateway [0] provides a very effective way of mapping a gRPC concept to HTTP/JSON. The thing is, after moving to gRPC, I'v

You can possibly buy a subscription but tell the devs that you're using headscale. If enough people do this they might make a host-your-own version like bitwarden.

The college board AP exam for CS was comically bad when I took it. It was somehow too easy and too hard and not tied to what is needed. I wish we had better ways to evaluate competency.

This is a fairly short sighted take. If SpaceX is able to commercialize space we could shift a lot of things that are traditionally difficult to off Earth even if you intend to remain here. For example, space provides a good method to pull

To me, a mini mansion is a house with 3 bedrooms. Apartments in the east coast and NYC area are very small and overpriced.

Another question to ask: will remote work fix this? I know most people have no interest in living in the city they work long term. That's a compromise that's demanded because if requirements most jobs place. If I had a steady stre

Find a startup (<30 people) that is building something you like and who's checks clear. Pro tip: whenever you hear two people talking about something being fucked up or broken and no one knows why, offer to try and look into it. Sol

Will the compiler have something like go's ability to vendor code locally? I've worked on some science projects and this has been a hard requirement on some systems for tape archive storage.

Do you have any plans for capturing game audio on Windows and Linux? It's very annoying to have to boot into Windows if I want to stream a game with audio to some friends.

Another few benefits with Bazel is that your build is mostly hermetic and reproducible. I've never had to run `bazel clean` and the output sha of your builds will always be the same (good for signing and security). You can also use rem

Is there anyway to pass exclusive access to a physical display to a docker container? I've been wanting to have this for a status display on some home servers.
