6 months in to my first pc build. had one other pc for past 2 years from letsbld. the build is easy, but it will take a full day. it is also a bit nerve racking, but mostly that’s just inexperience. parts are all sturdy and snap together. i

sturgeon’s law applies. most of the time they are right to. put another way, 90% of code is a liability, 10% of code is an asset. i’m not sure any code ever moved from one group to the other, though good ideas may be stolen sans code. green

to provide a more homogenous experience for all users. think pinned drivers, no random background processes, custom kernel, etc. arch has a nice iso image story. could be anything as long as it’s good.

i’m thinking more a custom arch linux iso, configured for a specific purpose. unikernels are maybe a good idea, for some distant day.

for some apps this might be the play. ship a bootable read-only usb image, not a zipped executable.

i make two kinds of websites: - static. markdown rendered to html using github’s api[1]. - dynamic. a go binary and an html file with inlined js zipped together and shipped somewhere[2]. it’s nice to never consider the machinery of either o

amen. first rule of economics. incentives drive behavior. to ignore incentives is folly. they drive the behavior of others around you as well. bad incentives lead to endless kingdom building and mediocrity. good incentives lead to a brighte

making a living off indie gamedev is not realistic because of how easy it is to do the same as software engineer. so why not both? a few years on, a few years off, repeat. remote work makes this even easier. i’m just starting gamedev, and a

like linux, cloud is a lot to learn, but worth it. it adds capabilities you didn’t have before. like linux, cloud is best kept simple, or it can become brittle and confusing. like linux, cloud has a lot of cool things, think zfs, that shoul

this is the LambdaUpdateCode api, and it’s definitely fast enough for a good dev workflow. it even lets you pass the zip data as the post body when less than 50mb. otherwise it points to a zip in s3 or a container uri.

every github branch has an rss feed too!

this is a great journey! what volume of data were you analyzing? more you could try: - span multiple machines, with lambda/ec2-spot and s3 - write c/cpp, call via python subprocess or cffi - pytorch gpu on ec2-spot
