my story was clojure. came for the immutable data structures, stayed for reagent. you should learn clojurescript and reagent! it’s very good. lots of good clojure books to read too.

everything on my github i built via annoyance driven development. life is too short to be annoyed. no excuses. https://github.com/nathants?tab=repositories

don’t refactor, rebuild. you have multiple reference implementations. learn from them. have better engineers make the attempt. do it in parallel and only switch over if it’s not worse. bonus points for multiple competing rebuilds.

anything without interactive notifications will need restrictive rules, but should work. ufw preventing all udp 53 to anywhere but 1.1.1.1 might have worked. it’s the raised eyebrows that are the most important part. ttre, time to raised ey

another comment here rightly pointed out that what we want is to protect our files from being read by unrelated processes. there are no good implementations of this yet to my knowledge. encrypted fuse with snitch like rules and prompts is p

reagent. reacting to deeply nested maps of immutable data in a single location. this is the way.

using remote resources as a part of your local dev flow can be very useful if your local environment is constrained on cpu/ram/gpu/ssd/bandwidth. this can be as simple as an ephemeral ec2 spot machine that reacts every t

i had a lot of fun exploring the performance ceiling of csv and csv like formats. turns out binary encoding of size prefixed byte arrays is fast[1]. csv is just a sequence of 2d byte arrays. probably avoid if dealing with heterogeneous exte

i have this laptop and am also very satisifed. zero issues. i run a minimal dev setup[1]. there is a simpsons episode where homer designs a car. it has a lot of cup holders and is very expensive. this is a lot like macos, and even more like

simplicity. have less gear, have better gear. a good monitor plus a laptop is already two monitors. need more screens? add a tablet.

use a network snitch[1] on desktop and mobile. the original slogan says it all: makes the invisible visible. i’d love to use a filesystem snitch too, but none exist yet afaik. it’s interesting to observe firefox or any other legitimate app

python is used widely in animation and vfx. why not both?

independent scale to zero services per end user is definitely the play. people can sell their data on marketplaces if they want to cover the few dollars a month of usage fees.

prioritize physical and mental health. deprioritize anything that threatens it. bonus points for saving space for curiosity and play.

i don’t know anything, but everything is interesting, almost everything is discoverable, and experimentation is fun!

you don’t want a free tier. what you want is reasonable usage based pricing and scale to zero. all the actual tiny projects on free tiers have actual costs approaching zero. everything else shouldn’t be on a free tier. if it’s not possible

my understanding is that this hook is the only one, but to properly secure io_uring one has to implement a check for every call here. or just disable it.

with linux 6.0, lsm got the ability to filter io_uring. deny all and carry on.

unless you want to grow an operationally excellent and well staffed org, control plane should probably be public cloud. cost plane, whether it be heavy on bytes at rest, bytes in flight, or compute, could possibly be private cloud. scale to

build and scale systems with artificial load on aws! scaling the load testing will be just as interesting as scaling the system under test. start with low bottlenecks, ie a cluster of c6i.large ec2 spot. how fast can you do this? have fast

agree! that alpine ships ec2 amis is one of the reasons that i moved to alpine. have had no issues so far.

i’ve been running alpine on two thinkpads for almost six months. it’s fantastic. was previously on arch, and ubuntu before that. i had no idea alpine ships setup-* scripts. there are so many of them and they are so good! postmarketos is alp
