I’ve always liked CSV. It’s a streaming friendly format so: - the sender can produce it incrementally - the receiver can begin processing it as soon as the first byte arrives (or, more roughly, unescaped newline) - gzip compression works wi

Respect, not fear. I chose the word intentionally. Respecting the working system means investing a little before going in to redo. That’s all. No everyone is right for such work, which is fine because they are often well suited for other eq

Maybe don’t assume other people are “wrong”? A strongly typed codebase in a larger system almost certainly has untyped boundaries (HTTP, JSON, SQL, etc.) and likely to data driven with combinatorial complexity. Going into such rewrites with

States and municipalities don’t need to build it; small community-run organizations (nonprofits or not) can do so in Oregon.

Can this be done for smaller areas by sharing a full time employee? For example, our community has a shared well and reservoir with a part time water manager that administers/maintains our system along with many others in the area.

In Oregon we have “community” telcos that have been installing high speed internet in rural areas for decades, and continue to do so[1]. The service/tech provided by these companies is far better and cheaper than the national/larg

I’ve been using HTMX on a greenfield project (not reimplementing something) and I’ve found it easy to work with and effective. Nothing magical, but simpler. Less effort, not more. After being reminded of the importance of supporting low-spe

I tend to make DELETE work without parameters, but allow them in the body (JSON) for non-essential but helpful options. And example is allowing a flag to override delete protections. I doubt this is a “best” practice but I’ve never had a pr

Like others, this story was very impactful on me (and still is). Over the years, though, my understanding of “intelligence” has evolved and I’m of the opinion today that “it” is several independent (but not unrelated) things: the abilities

Conditional PUT would be a great addition to S3, indeed.

Would it make sense to use a Prolly Tree’s root hash as the ETag for a collection resource in an HTTP API? Given an HTTP API that: - includes a collection resource to which items maybe added and removed - and for which supporting an ETag

Individuals? No. Teams? Yes. The latter is pretty well documented these days. DORA, SPACE, etc. Creating software is a team effort.

I don’t believe they are. I don’t believe it because I’ve removed “new” Douglas fir trees and enjoyed the tight grain lumber. The growing conditions and age are important, not when they were grown. Old growth is just old trees grown in natu

Anyone else find more time for enjoying NOT paying attention to any “media” anymore? Seriously, I peek every once in a while to confirm it’s still a train wreck and then enjoy closing the window.

Is C++ now a part of the other party’s platform? I really want to see political ads decrying the anti-American use of Rust. Not.

I don’t know that’s true. My last two very-not-meta-sized companies have both had systems that were very cost effective and essentially what the article describes. It’s not the simplest thing to put in place, but far from unapproachable. I

I’ve looked for the same in executive roles as well (though I’m not really interested in a promotion at this point). It always makes sense to work with people to learn from and respect.

by mlhpdx 3y ago
Is that a conclusion grown by thinking of promotions as a win/lose against your peers? That’s never been my experience. I was less capable and valuable than my peers in my first role but was promoted quickly and repeatedly by learning

The advice I would give a person coming to me with that question would be tough to say: I don’t know if it’s possible to grow one’s career today as quickly or as far as I was fortunate enough to do. It’s just a very different dynamic overal

I don’t think that’s true. People with normal endocrine response (not diabetic or otherwise impaired) don’t see significant movement in blood glucose. It would very likely be “in the noise” as far as the light based sensors go.

Well, rotting increases the accessible carbs, which sounds antithetical to the neo-paleo diet. Hopefully we're safe from the new "unpreserved meat" fad.

It may be, as the principle still applies. It'd interesting to contemplate that the "pivotal" mutation may have been something as subtle as a taste preference that lead to the consumption of the "spoiled" food cach

The name LunaNet made me think of GPS cubesats and ground transponders that would make precise positioning lunar equipment/missions without the latency of coupling to earth systems. It's not that, it seems. Anyone want to start

Simply not true. For independent verification just peek at Zillow or similar.

Honest question: if you’ve never known the tangible value of your work, how did you decide what to do? It’s an uncomfortable question to ask, but I genuinely don’t understand how that would be possible.
