I shared my experience. And in my experience anyone who gets the opportunity to work there should do it. Is it fortunate? Working at a place that holds a high bar on hiring, pays extremely well, and provides extremes of learning and growth

Hi, I am a half decent engineer. I say that as objectively as one can say something like this about themselves. I worked at Amazon. Twice. In total about a decade as a Principal Engineer. I left voluntarily a few months ago. I have zero re

This looks great! Excited to try out out and play with it!

And how many would’ve been avoided by finishing the rust port?

Checkpoints also include context. I also use jj to checkpoint. When working on a change, each time I get to a stable point I squash and start fresh with an empty change. You can absolutely continue doing that.

Cumbersome read. I gave up.

Author missed one of the best features: easy access to hardware breakpoints. Breaking on a memory read or write, either a raw address or via a symbol, is one of the most time saving debugging tools I know.

For anyone interested, I hacked together a little command line tool to implement this system. Find it at: https://github.com/swaits/ldr

Agree. I grew up in the era of phreaking and when I see something like this it makes me happy. We want the tinkerers, the curious, the people always pushing on the margins.

Your comment is apparently stained by your political views. It is really far from reality, lacks substance and objectivity, and comes off as unhinged.

Oh didn't know that. And at $10/month. So the same price as in this advertisement pretending to be a blog post.

This is unfair comparison to Proton as it is bundled with their VPN, Calendar, Drive, and Password manager. Given all it comes with, it's very competitively priced. Additionally, they've been at it a long time and built a strong b

I migrated from Fastmail to Proton last week. I found the whole process pretty painless. Proton has an IMAP migration. Took it a few days, maybe even three. But everything ended up working just fine.

You could write this whole article with `s/cloud native//` and none of its meaning would change. Cloud native is meaningless.

Thanks for pointing met to Serpent! I gave Aurora a quick spin before going back to Endeavour. Didn’t work well for me.

I understand the point of it. I’m enthusiastic about it. It was my home daily drive for more than a year. In the end, the pain didn’t outweigh the benefits for me.

I made a mess of a jj repo recently. A big mess. Ran `jj op log`, found the operation I wanted, and just `jj restore`d my way back to that exact prior state. Then started what I was planning afresh and got it right. Felt magical. And I didn

Been running Kinoite for a good bit (~1 year). I'm a bit over it. Love the idea of immutability, but rebooting every time I get a new system image via rpm-ostree, which is often, is tiresome. Of course, I could update less frequently;

This times 10^6. Nicely said. There is a staggering amount of ignorance present in the other comments here. I was ignorant too. But I spent a good amount of time educating myself this year. I hope others do the same so they can make complet

Yes, indeed. There are quite a few “nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms” which do exactly this. When I say “quite a few”, I mean countless. Look up NSGA and NSGA-II for a good starting point. Then Kagi your way deeper into the rabbit h

I love the concept here and will absolutely give this a go. One bit of advice for the creators/maintainers: stop saying “cloud native”. It’s effectively meaningless, and definitely confusing. But most importantly, it’s irrelevant. Star

And what about all the switches, routers, bridges, firewalls, and whatever else in between endpoints? What a strange thing to require. It comes off a bit like X-Y. You seek high performance. But you state it as wanting zero copy networking.

Sierra Club is on a politically motivated posturing mission to cancel Muir. For all the claimed transgressions, this man did a massive amount of positive work for naturalism. We should remember people for their good and their bad, not wipe

I think they’re saying India represents 14% of the world population. That means that the delisting of India is most of the “20%” mentioned in the headline.

Being married to a woman with her own last name, and a stepdaughter with her own last name, I can tell you that none of what you describe is really a problem. In fact, it’s worked well enough for us that if we were to have another child we’
