Another NiFi article was in Hacker News the other week with a fair few positive comments. I left a comment with my thoughts and we pretty much agree with the exact same issues. Good to see I’m not the only one as seeing some organisations u

If you lift heavy, power lifting etc it’s hard to do at home unless you go out and buy a rack, barbell and plates. You’ll never lift or replicate anywhere near 100-200kg+ with home body weight workouts. If you do general fitness, circuits e

Kind of similar. My food has been pretty much perfect. I’ve reduced calories to match reduced activity but what I eat is still proportioned correctly, lean meats, vegetables, rice/potatoes. What I have noticed though is due to isolatio

You don’t even have to go to the supermarket for food these days so can avoid the temptations completely. With online shopping it’s easy to set up a weekly shopping list so easier to stay in track, no chocolate bars or soft drinks at the ch

Australia's defamation laws are some of the toughest in the world and not in a good way. There's been a few new articles about people having to pay big damages due to online reviews, social media posts[1] and how it stopped women

Some positive comments here on NiFi. I found it to not be that great. I used it 4 or so years ago but things may of changed. 1) you get a big canvas which is just drag and drop. The canvas can get huge and scrolling across the screen etc 2)

Interested in the book. It's a bit expensive especially with exchange rates but it is what it is, these things take your time and effort to produce. From the website I cannot see a table of contents for the book unless this is under pr

In hindsight it’s something extremely basic, simple and obvious to do which is why I had the exclamation mark for my lack of knowledge. In the past couple of years I’ve made $2-3k in interest. Not much but it’s $2-3k I wouldn’t of had if sa

They probably could use some cheap blob storage like Backblaze B2 which is very cheap ($0.005 GB/month storage, $0.01 G download) for storing artifacts then put Cloudflare in-front of it. If artifacts are treated as immutable most of t

The compression soon mounts up in savings. It’s quicker to send over the network, disks cost money and on the cloud even low terrabyte sized data starts to mount up in cost. JSON is unstructured. Every one who parses the data needs to write

Compared to the US, absolutely. Compared to the rest of the UK, London salaries are significantly higher in general. I cry when I see juniors in the US posting earnings 2-3x that of a senior developer in the UK. If I could work in the US I’

It’s always a good idea to pin the nixpkg version in nix shell. Once you do this it saves all the “it runs on my machine”. No more days following a readme setting up a vagrant/virtualbox machine, which is then slow as a vm with limited
