DevOps predated microservices by a good bit. And DevOps was meant to reduce operational complexity, because the people who best knew how to run the software were the ones who made it. (DevOps also predated commoditization of the infra layer

One of my favorite contemporary photographers, David Schalliol, has an “isolated buildings” series, and he uses a tilt shift lens to achieve parallel lines for the buildings, to striking effect. http://davidschalliol.com/pho

I first learned about Sellafield when I tried to decipher what name Kraftwerk was saying in their song "Radio-Activity" (along with Hiroshima, Chernobyl, and Harrisburg (Three Mile Island)) https://youtu.be/X--F5b5

It's worth noting you can let Nix manage Homebrew for you, too. I do this on my MBP on which I have nix-darwin running, not for regular Homebrew formulae but for casks for GUI apps. In my configuration, I have this homebrew = {

Watch Karpathy's recent lectures. They're gold. Start here[1] with micrograd[2]. It doesn't use linear algebra/matrices to start, but the principles are the same. The matrix multiplication is how the weights of the conne

Deep learning! It's all "just" (more or less) high school calculus (partial derivatives, chain rule) and matrix multiplication.

I came across this during my initial research when starting Pushup, very impressive.

Not yet, but that is the intent. As a long-time Django user I have a high bar for the kind of forms support a framework should provide. One of my thoughts/beliefs is that, as a compiler with complete control over the page, there is a l

I was inspired in part by Razor, although I'm not a C#/ASP.net developer. I just liked the way it looked and worked from examples I saw. I actually started with @ [1] but changed to ^ for 2 reasons: having to escape for email addr

Do you think all template languages that combine logic and markup are ugly? Or just Pushup's?

Since Pushup is a compiler, one thought I've had is giving the ability to demarcate server-side and client-side code in a Pushup page, and compiling down to WASM for the client-side code. Then the compiler would generate the network co

The imagined use-case for Pushup is the same niche that Rails, Django, and Flask apps occupy, which is a wide range but broadly I would describe as page-oriented, HTML-first, server-side frontends. I started Pushup because I asked myself, I
