   Yeah, if you can start up the actual things, then you know your code's going to work against the actual things. That's ultimately what we're aiming for.

   I fear that I'm about to be nerd sniped because I really want to try to make this work as a "proper" 10G signal. I feel that if you over sample the SPDIF signal and line code it to not have a DC bias, and do the opposite on t

   This is done before the SFP+ module sees the signal, but the module makes the design assumption that it is being done. It is right for 10G ethernet, it is wrong (at a certain time scale) for SPDIF. I also think that https://en.w

   Yup! I don't have a lot to say about LLMs for coding. There are places where I'm certain they're useful and that's where I use them. I don't think "generate a react app from scratch" helps me, but thing

   Yeah, I just have a text file and convert it to HTML for people that want to view it on the web. Has never been a problem. I'm not a graphic designer and if that's a skill you want, you got the wrong girl. I have done two differ

   I like keeping things consistent even if the consistent way is "wrong". One thing that bugged me about the large codebase I most recently worked on is that we used a custom assert library for tests. The Go team says this about t

   Home Wifi is what it is, but this is a big selling point for things like offices. The less Wifi stations that can "hear" each other, the better for all of them. The way this is attempted with 2.4/5GHz deployments is to put a

    I always used the getters anyway. Given: message M { string foo = 1; } message N { M bar = 2; } I find (new(M)).Bar.Foo panicking pretty annoying. So I just made it a habit to m.GetBar().GetFoo() anyway. If

    It seems like it's not. Nobody has ever prevailed in court for the "you can't deep link to our website" clause. There is a circuit split on "you can't embed images from our website". In the 9th Circuit,

    I've definitely noticed this going on. `jj log` uses the right colors, but `watch --color jj log` somehow breaks and prints black-on-black.

    Oh, and I just remembered where this always burns me. It's cases like this: ./myprogram --config=~/.config/myprogram Of course, many flags parsers are aware of this, or at least accidentally aware of this, becau

    One that's missing is treating ~ as the home directory. This appears to be a shell thing and not a POSIX API thing. For example, this doesn't work: func main() { if _, err := os.ReadFile("~/.bashrc");

    I feel like I got the basics from using Blaze for years at Google. Things like "oh yeah, buildifier will autoformat my BUILD files" and the basic flow of how a build system is supposed to work. Figuring out how to complete a larg

    I agree. We moved to Bazel at my last job and it probably took about 6 person months. I was most of that person and it includes other tooling not related to Bazel. Some extremely competent engineers also moved over our frontend code (inc

    I don't really shoot film for the away-from-the-computer experience. Nobody is going to come over to my apartment to view my photos, and I'm not going to carry them around to show people. The main reason I shoot film is for highe

    I bought a V800 about 10 years ago for film scanning and it worked with modern computers. The quality was quite good as well; I wet-mounted my negatives and had pretty much no complaints with the quality. Speed was not amazing, of course.

    I used to run a service that created k8s clusters on GCP for our customers. We did want to check that that functionality kept working and had a prober test it periodically. It was actually broken a lot. Always good to monitor your depende

    I would take edge compute if it's free and easy. That's fly.io's value prop. In a world where much web browsing starts with ACK SYN ACK, it is nice if the server is close to you.

    Yup, exactly. That's what they're up against. I think it's reasonable to take precautions. I guess I'm getting downvoted for "checking ID at the gate doesn't prevent you from flying your airplane into the bui

    I think it's reasonable. Not the exact details of this installation necessarily. The reality is that there are a bunch of people that want to lash out at the government for whatever reason, and the civil servants that just want to do

    Yup, I like this approach a lot. With cloud providers considering VMs durable these days (they get new hardware for your VM if the hardware it's on dies, without dropping any TCP connections), I think a 1 node approach is enough for s

    I'm never that consistent and usually get through. I think they are looking at things like mouse acceleration, smoothness, etc. rather than the actual answer to the questions.

    Prior to the Caltrain electrification, BART existed and it's pretty much a suburban rail system. Just served a different part of the Bay Area.
