I like the idea but I think competition will be pretty tough if it's positioned as a tool you'd use during a live interview. There's a number of free collaborative code sharing sites out there that don't require the cand

Good to know. In my case I happened to need exactly 4 so it worked out with the default set up. I like the easy access of it, just click your clock and boom in 1 second you have instant access to these. I even ordered mine based on relative

I only use a Mac for work through a company laptop but one thing I recently discovered is the world clock widget which is accessed through your clock. You can show up to 4 different times besides your local time. This is really handy to see

I deleted the line with `sed -i "4d" sqldump`. The duplicated disk space comes from sed writing a temporary file out to the current directory, it does this in chunks as the command runs. It makes sense for sed to write a temp file

That would work but what would tail do different than sed here? Both would still need to read and write the full file (minus 4 lines for tail) which without testing indicates the time would be the same.

This was run on an AWS gp3 SSD EBS volume with 3k IOPS. It was a CPU optimized c6i.xlarge machine. The file in question was 200 GB. I used "quite some time" because this happened months ago and I don't recall the exact time o

As far as I know sed will still read and write the full file, even when you do a modification on a specific line. I've target deleted 1 line with sed and it took quite some time too.

Once in a while things come up where you need to make a surgical edit in a really large file and it could be in a scenario where time matters. For example if you're doing a SQL dump -> import, technically you could have downtime dur

It's mainly to save time. I don't remember exactly how long it took but I remember it being something like 30 minutes of purely waiting for the find / replace to finish on a 4 CPU core / 8 GB of memory machine. Memory wa

I'd love to see a tool that lets you modify large files efficiently. I had to replace line 4 of a 200 GB SQL dump, it took a substantial amount of compute time to perform a find / replace with sed and it also required having over

The same process for buying fruits and vegetables occurred before and after the ban. It really depends on how you shopped: Example 1: You buy 5 assorted fruits and vegetables types and have 5 plastic bags with you at checkout. I can't

New York banned plastic bags at grocery store checkouts a few years ago, at least in the area I live. I don't think it did that much because they didn't ban plastic bags in the fruit and vegetable section where you can peel bags o

I think there is something about optimizing for comfort. I've had a standing desk for 8 or 9 years now and I stand probably 75% of the time. When I sit, my chair is not very comfortable but also standing isn't always ideal either.

Kubernetes cron jobs are pretty good I must say. I definitely don't come anywhere near Slack's scale but I've managed systems where over 3,000 cron jobs ran per day, half of which came from a cron job running every minute whi

Yep, that's one of the values of the WAF, it can be associated with your ALB which means you can match rules on headers, cookies, etc. after the traffic has been decrypted.

If you're on AWS the AWS WAF is pretty low cost. You can expect to pay less than $10 / month and still get an ok amount of value on a decently popular site. The problem is you have to manually configure a lot, the rate limiting as

Hah no problem. There was just enough time after your talk for 1 more question from the audience: For my zshrc that you poked around in, is this issue related specifically to HISTFILE or all of the history related env vars?
