Neat, I've seen a few logsim systems. After watching Ben Eaters videos (and not having enough time to tinker with hardware) I built https://git.sr.ht/~vhodges/cputhing

It's only 19c in Metro Vancouver today (inland! - It's probably a bit cooler near the water).

Sorry for the delay! I need a way to monitor discussions that isn't me polling for updates). That IS my local/personal convention. It comes from my Amiga days where we had a second partition called work: (no home directories reme

Yes, when the container is started you get the db url connect string, you connect to it, load the schema and any test data/seeds. For me I just run the ddl (sitting in a .sql file) and run my tests. They run with an empty db but I cou

I was too nice/eager and they DID get through the screening process, clearly this was broken too. I learned lots.

Shell stuff, basic coding, tooling. I don't have a problem with people needing to learn. I have a problem with someone saying they have 10 years of experience and having to do their job for them while paired up (literally telling the

Not developing a launcher but Gravitics https://www.gravitics.com/ is another company doing something in different way (Gary Hudson, if you know the name, is on the team)

It wasn't performance exactly, but lack of skill. They had billed themselves as senior (and were being paid as such). They were my first hire and made a number of mistakes: - I was too nice/eager (one of interviewers said &#x

I am in BC, Canada which has similar things but yeah, in hindsight, I should have taken some time off, but it was a while ago now (7 years).

I have been on both sides 1) got a talking too about performance - it wasn't called a pip (my mom was dying and I was taking too much time out for medical appointments for her. Note the discussion was shortly after she had passed) 2)

I managed mine very badly during my 20's and 30's (lots of consumer debt). I'm 55 now, mortgage free in single digit years, healthy investment accounts for retirement and no debt. There are few secrets, just common sense real

Just curious what sorts of issues they saw with Fly.io? I am using it for a few small things and have never really had any issues with it.

I am so glad Tim (and thus Luxcious) are in the Lower Mainland. I don't need them currently, but it's nice to know it's an option.

I have a fondness as NetBSD was the first Unix I ever installed (circa fall of '94)... for about 4 hours or so, then I had to restore my Amiga4000 back to AmigaOS for work on Monday :). I set up a NetBSD VM (on my Macbook) that I had i

As someone who started out on a machine with 3.5K free RAM, and a time (later that decade) when 2MB of RAM was ~$1000, you never really have too much. Swap is essentially disabled for me on my 16G machines (and up).

I guess my question was more related to taxation and legal structure 1. Employees (eg people who get a 1099(?)) would seem to require a green card or visa. 2. A contract employee is more of a business relationship but avoids the above requi

No worries and whoops, I seem to have glommed the bullet point in the job description together: "Our own web console, CLI, and SDK consumers (e.g., oxide.rs, oxide.go)"

Ah, that's good to know since it wasn't clear you were able to hire in Canada, as the peer comment says, I am not sure I would make it past a screening round :) (I don't currently do Rust - though I skimmed the tutorial and i

Nice! I wrote electronic tension sheet about 25-30 odd years ago (probably for the Amiga iirc). It wasn't as nice as this.

I am no expert, but yes, it's flakes for my projects. It keeps the build time tooling separate (eg Go compiler, node version,etc) from the main system (so I could for example have different versions for different projects). It also m
