This article misses the point. The future will be self-hosted (or local community hosted) when automation technology actually matures and shows some real innovations. That's one reason we're building https://github.com&

Tabs are the preferred, more efficient and more accessible format, and most people know this. Every golang dev loves just having one tap to indent code, and nobody loves the constant repeat rattle of space indented code. Seriously though, t

There are a bunch of "news sources" online all with very similar articles, and not one lists where you can sign up.

This has been an interesting project to follow! My only hope is that when this is done, someone does some work to add switchdev capabilities to it!

This was great. I wish Starlink actually provided a dish+modem service exactly like this and real IPv4 not CGNAT nonsense. I think they do for business plans which are much more expensive though.

This is actually an argument against the syntactic changes. Because now if you have the common `if err == nil { return ... }` pattern, then you have _that_ "littering" your code, instead of the syntax. The current solution is fi

I've used this before, but the biggest missing feature is a compendium of built-in common fixes, like removing the &si= tracker junk off of youtube links, and so on...

It's very interesting (I applaud this) that one of the main goals seems to be to make it more approachable as compared to TLA+, but then they go in write it in C# which I consider to be an incredibly unapproachable community and langua

This is a great project I've been following along. My personal desire is to see this eventually support https://docs.kernel.org/networking/switchdev.html (although it will likely be someone other than Andrew that

Bill Gates has done more harm to software and innovation than anyone in history. He's a bad dude, and the only reason he does all this is so that waiters don't spit in his food at fancy restaurants. The world suffers under the cri

There's really nothing "open" about this company. If they want to be, then: (1) be transparent about exactly which data was collected for the model (2) release all the source code If you want to benefit humanity, then put it

Says it's open source but the link is password protected: https://printserver.ink/firmware/ I'll pass until that's normal.

The big anti-feature is that developers can block users from flashing the chips. Yes, there's a security angle, but if I have the chip in my hands, I should be able to flip some pin to reprogram the chip and prevent all the e-waste.

Ask any mainstream U.S. model anything remotely sexual and they all abort. Musk et al. claim they want free speech and no censorship, yet the U.S. evangelicals have their teeth so deep into the tech, that they block it or debank anyone who

Sweet! I know this patch has been cooking for a while, gosh the gitlab page takes ages to even load... Trying to look at the source... Is the whole thing less than ~1000 LOC ???

Using the `mcl` DSL language in https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ It's awesome. But I'm biased because I designed it. You can't build anything, but you can build many things much more easily. Part

The _tooling_ is not reproducible. Take a not small golang project with some number of dependencies and there should be a single list of the latest versions for the entire project. And exactly what golang commands do you run to generate tha

go.mod and the golang tooling is a horror show. I absolutely LOVE the language, but dealing with the tooling is horrendous. I should blog about the specifics, but if you want a short version: * not using posix args * obscure incantations to

Unless there are devices that I could buy (48 port 1U style switches) and until this supports integrating with something like switchdev ( https://docs.kernel.org/networking/switchdev.html ) then this is too little too

I guess you were wrong, they scrubbed. But do you really think the barge would survive a direct hit? I mean it might not sink but all the equipment on it would be very broken, would it not?

I always genuinely wondered how close to the various launches someone actually runs `git commit`. One day our ancestors will look back on this time and wonder why we all re-developed similar code over and over again, instead of sharing it w
