Pushup creator here. We're interested in feedback on the design. Pushup introduces a new lightweight template syntax that mixes Go code and HTML in the same page; pages are then compiled down to pure Go, relying on the net/http pa

I was interested if there were any details or guidance on the implementation. From what I can gather from the memo: they are leaving it up to federal scientific orgs and researchers to come up with a publishing solution (both for data and r

I wonder if you could use this to achieve an animation effect like some 8- and 16-bit games did with color cycling. eg http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article-Old_School_Color_C...

tl;dr SIMD - new: vector types - 128-bit width FP and integer types and values for SIMD, with related instructions (and validation thereof) plus memory instructions for wide loads, and support in the runtime for wide values (consts, etc.),

I honestly thought from the headline before clicking through that this was referring to the other CDs, "certificates of deposit", which, I imagine, may be more in-demand due to rising interest rates.

Just speculating, because it's using a suite of AWS managed services throughout (CloudFront, S3, Route53, API Gateway) and it's a common design to use Lambda functions with API Gateway. Knowing that this is a very high profile, hi

In spite of appearances, I'm not sure if they went with existing USPS web resources, at least on the frontend. Looks like custom build using a very typical modern managed AWS services stack. In any case, interesting new state of the ar

If it's not immediately apparent, Pikchr is by SQLite creator D. Richard Hipp, and is how SQLite's syntax diagrams are generated on its website. It's a great little diagram language that's quite capable, and I think of i

I remember seeing a Toynbee tile in the street in the Wicker Park / Logan Square area of Chicago sometime in the 2000s. I think it was on Milwaukee Ave. It was strange and weirdly interesting, only later did I find out it was connected

I wonder how much Apple has donated in in-kind contributions to FreeBSD in the form of its employees contributing to the upstream as a matter of course of working on Darwin.

This is a great in-depth comparison of Zig and Rust from the POV of someone who has used both extensively for non-toy projects. https://scattered-thoughts.net/writing/assorted-thoughts-on-...

A year ago I would have found this appealing in a #homelab context, but now I WireGuard/Tailscale each host and bind LAN-only services to tailscale0 interface.

It would be cool to see a follow-up post that incorporates patterns (different marks likes dots and hatches, different densities, etc.) as an additional distinguishing characteristic for areas fills that aids accessibility.

This is something we think about and discuss a lot. We take the implications of using the word "infrastructure" seriously. There is a healthy scepticism among the team about new & shiny. We try to be conservative in our techno

No. The original site was a Java/J2EE application, and that's what the small team you refer to helped to stabilize on the rescue. We got it working well enough to make it through that first enrollment year. There was no rewrite in

Greetings, folks: as we know, headlines don't tell the full story, and no, spoiler alert, Go alone did not save HealthCare.gov. A lot of people pulling together and working very hard over many months did. There are very many stories ab
