Regarding de-identification, are you talking about the expert determination method?

I've made this type of argument and have used it quite a bit (though I wouldn't say "just"). Autocomplete is a very useful tool. ChatGPT even more so. It is actually fantastic. The point I was making when explaining it t

A year ago I came home to find my wife on the verge of tears. She needed to print something for our child’s school and the printer was out of ink. Again. After having only printed 50 pages since the last time. I bought a brother color laser

Heh, I meant it in a tongue in cheek way. My dad thought it was too risky.

I fondly remember the K6-2 system I had with a Voodoo 2 and 192MB of RAM. It was the first PC that was all mine. I also played HL1 and Unreal Tournament 1. The big games though were the HL mods TFC and Counter-Strike. I dragged that thing t

I use it (old self hosted and cloud. Also GitLab and GitHub on a regular basis.) BitBucket is ok. It doesn’t have nearly the same feature set as the others. You have to bring on more of the Atlassian ecosystem to get those. The integrations

We saw similar gains going from Intel to Graviton 2 on EMR: 15% to 40% speedups depending on the job. Saw similar gains in EMR serverless switching from x86 to arm as well. The only issue I've had is actually getting enough on-demand i

Automated counter attack systems exist already, at least to a degree [0]. Hypersonic weapons may make a first strike more feasible, but not that much. SLBMs with a depressed trajectory already have very short flight times [1]. The defenses

Harry Turtledove also wrote a series of alternate history novels (called the world war series) based on a similar idea. In it, the aliens’ civilization progresses very slowly. A few centuries of human progress would take them millennia. The

This sounds so much like my company. Add in that management will make commitments to customers without having any idea what it will take to execute, schedule 20 hours of meetings per week, expect us to work a total of 60-80 hours a week to

I tried and failed in the past. Doing a standard mid-size corporate job now for stability. I picked "I am thinking of doing a startup or new business in the future" as I intend to try again one day.

Gitlab is fantastic. It was easy to take an existing open source terraform module [0], modify it a little for our purposes, and deploy runners that provision job executors in our tightly controlled VPC. It is very simple and everything is

Very aesthetically pleasing website! I was just browsing in a bookstore yesterday and this book caught my eye. I promised to myself that I’d only leave with one, so I put it down as I had spotted Jeff Hawkins latest book (from 2021) that I

Exercise more. Spend more time with my family. Hike the back country of a few more national parks. Hunt more. Fish more. Get a PhD in CS. Find an open source project to be passionate about and work on that. Not necessarily things that can f

I can't believe the Ryzen CPU in the PC I am typing this on was made by hand. Those able bodied humans must have very small hands indeed.

I focus on regular vigorous exercise, minimizing processed food consumption, and avoiding alcohol entirely. These are things I try to do year round, but extra emphasis helps me during the fall and winter.

It really depends on what you are trying to do and what you are willing to spend. If you are looking for APM, take a look at New Relic. I've used both in production at similar (~1m requests/hour (DD) and ~10m requests/hour (N

The grass is not always greener. In my experience, this is especially true of 'migration' projects. Migrating an existing system to a new stack can be the worst of both worlds if the existing system is complex and poorly designed.

I was expecting to see idempotent consumer, circuit breaker, and a few others that I’ve used frequently when designing systems. Maybe not interesting enough to make the list?

My impression is that most of Google’s failures are strategic. Stadia, for example, has been executed very well in the technical sense. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense strategically. I feel every failure I can think of fits this mold of

I remember being hyped about it, having only seen some pre-release screenshots in magazine or something. Luckily, being 14, I couldn’t afford to buy it. I rented it from Blockbuster and felt cheated.
