for lambda, use zip not container, much faster cold starts.

have you tried cljs and reagent? it’s a different vibe. my bootstrap: https://github.com/nathants/aws-gocljs the project: https://reagent-project.github.io/

why not both is a great answer. for many, a task makes the long grind of study more fun. a mission and all that. it also add success criteria to an otherwise ambiguous task.

perhaps better verbiage would be in the absence of a concrete application currently under construction.

alternatively, just start building interesting things and follow all rabbit holes. computer science doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

finally an opportunity to test a full deploy from scratch, and restore from backup, in a new region. i wonder if it will work first try? the true test of devops culture.

outbound firewalls like littlesnitch are bypassable, but at another layer of depth. visual prompt for unknown network attempt is probably good. would be nice to have similar prompts for the filesystem.

the generation of companies that defeat these vc companies will bootstrap, and use things like remote and chatgpt to make it work.

i use gpt4 daily. it’s not very good at writing code, but can write code in small well defined chunks. i’m working on a game with blender, cpp, physx, and wickedengine. it writes a lot of python for blender with prompts like: blender. pytho

i believe it’s called the revolving door.

optionality. having aws doesn’t mean using it for everything. for most uses cases, netflix model seems like the right one. control plane on cloud, data plane on not cloud. at a minimum you probably want to backup some high value data in s3

valid points on both sides aside, remote is the new lean. for any startup with an office and other place based expenses, a placeless startup with lower expenses is coming to eat your lunch. where we’re going we don’t need places. stay hungr

the purpose of not aws is two: - put price/quality pressure on aws - fill weird niches made by regulatory capture and other nonsense not using aws is like not using linux. there are valid reasons, but you don’t want any of them.

- twitch turbo. good background while coding. - aws. ec2 spot and lambda are great for getting a lot of compute for a little while with fine granularity billing.

little snitch seems to be the correct approach. almost every compromise that isn’t target will attempt odd looking network connections. we need more little snitch like things, including for filesystem access. we also need the ability to run

congrats on the extended vacation! this should be common behavior, and is not. take the summer and chill, without any guidelines or expectations. this may feel weird at first. creativity is the residue of time wasted. then do some more stru

so true. c is like the dark side of the force, but for great good.

by nathants 3y ago
c doesn’t have any good game engines or physics libraries. missing other stuff too. otherwise it’s perfect. passing structs to functions is probably the way, but a struct with functions works too.

rust-analyzer, clangd, and clion are all fantastic. why not try both? cpp feels better to me now, but that could easily change. rust-analyzer is a good experience, and cpp is not exactly fast, just faster.

for aws, the go sdk is a lot easier and funner to use than python’s. have used both a lot.

git may be hard, and bad, and terrible. it’s not the only thing like this. it’s not even a prime example. welcome to software. infamously, this is fine. overcome it. if you can beat git, you can beat anything. perhaps you’ll run into aws ne

school is usually pretty boring. more importantly, who is in a position to judge you? hint: no one. go work for 5 startups over 5 years. after that you’ll probably have a better perspective on everything, and some money in your pocket. if y

is ebpf for lsm a good idea? if i’m using custom lsm rules, i want them baked into the kernel and impossible to disable without replacing the kernel.

a minimum of 2 weeks every quarter. longer if changing employers, moving, or building interesting things. it’s ok to perform mission critical roles for a business. it’s not ok to let a business abuse your health by taking a hard dependency

the competition for vr is a 27” 1440p 240hz monitor. perhaps someday vr will be competitive, but not today.
