   Agree with GP - your post makes me want to hire you. One trick you might try: write future press releases. This helps you look beyond the immediate problems and focus on the destination. For example: “Q3 2023: ACME CO released version Z tod

   Yeah I agree that domain names are great. I think we should make some new TLDs that come with some validation guarantees. Ie john-doe.nation.citizen is always a person who has an Id with the same “John Doe” issued by some government. The re

   I’m so annoyed there’s no SQL API for Airtable… even if it was read only.

   Yeah that tracks with my experience. Sucks when more junior folks blow up over things they don’t have total context on. You give them as much as you can, but sometimes people decide they want to be a prophet of doom and close their minds.

   Lovely post. It’s need to see how many speciality editors there are for various flavors of Textmode graphics. This also stood out to me: > The creation and refinement of analogue-to-textmode filters is an art in itself closer aligned to

    I’m getting a lot of mileage out of Unraid, but am frustrated by their documentation and Docker implementation. While the system is slick for loading community packaged apps, it’s non trivial to load your own images. their docs are mostly j

    That's the dream! Going another step, I'd love to have a Thunderbolt to fiber adapter without having everything baked into a single cable. These products exist, but cost $5000 for each end https://www.atto.com/p

    I believe they started the star ratings as a way to encourage people to drive more. They saw it as part of “Travel”.

    But how novel is that really? Spam is already an issue. You solve it at the account level, not the message level. Trust graph forever.

    There might be an interesting open source / self hosting angle to this. Some folks have a large library of music stored locally. Platforms like Roon can give you recommendations on top of this, but are expensive and include a lot of ot

    Thanks for sharing! I agree that publicly-owned, privately-operate fiber to the home network is currently the gold standard. The Baby Bells are lobbying hard for regulatory barriers to this[0] but there are some success stories like Chattan

    Yeah… although every time I poke at it I add the M2 Pro and 10GBASET… Also Apple’s memory and storage pricing is insane. Guess that’s the point of the upgraded network and unified memory though? Have a fast NAS on a 10G network and work tha

    Article has a nice summary of the differences between standard and in-band ECC. Looks kinda like the difference between hardware and software RAID? In-band ECC trades performance for resilience because by allocating some of your memory band

    I am so jealous of your ISP situation! I’ve got symmetric gigabit from Verizon FiOS, which is great for what it is, but there is zero roadmap to anything faster in the US. You can look at commercial offerings, but they charge way more for

    Anyone know how hard it would be to convert this from USB-C power & wifi connectivity to PoE for power + data? TI has PoE chips for around $4, but I don’t know enough about electrical engineering to figure out how to swap that into this

    I wonder if the company would be willing to grant a patent license to an open hardware version of the scanner. They’re not manufacturing them anymore, nobody else seems interested in making the damn things… let it go.

    That sounds viable to me. Basically a small web development agency. There are lots of basic websites out there. People want them to be easily indexed, easy to update. Thus the whole JAM stack thing and Wordpress dominance. One thing you mig

    Yeah that’s my thought. The main benefit to this is High Availability. You’re not going to get compelling scale-out performance, but you can protect yourself from local hardware failures. Of course, then you have to ask if you need the dens
