I've met a few people that I like to describe as "walking Reddit". Chat with them and they'll always have a story or gossip that's engaging and somewhat infuriating or rage-inducing. One was a colleague who would te

One thing I'd love to see is dynamic CPU allocation or otherwise something similar to Jenkin's concept of a flyweight runner. Certain pipelines can often spend minutes to hours using zero CPU just polling for completion (e.g. Clou

I've been bitten by the surprising amount of time it takes for Kubernetes to update loadbalancer target IPs in some configurations. For me, 90% of the graceful shutdown battle was just ensuring that traffic was actually being drained b

Learning a language is such a large, long term undertaking that I appreciate how Duolingo tries to use a few tricks to keep people on-track. It's also one of those areas where interests and incentives (maximising the time on app; regul

Instagram used to be closer to this when they showed posts in chronological order. Of course, Facebook got to work and ended this by showing posts in algo-sorted order, added an explore page, and even started showing non-followed people&#x2

My worst bug had me using statistics to try and correlate occurrence rates with traffic/time of day, API requests, app versions, Node.js versions, resource allocations, etc. And when that failed I was capturing Prod traffic for examina

This is true. People like TikTok and no one wants to admit it. Personally I've found the content on it to be genuinely humorous and interesting, unlike Instagram which just wants to hook me in with Stories that I'll miss forever

The Quora AI answers I've seen are often just outright wrong. I almost wish Quora would use Stack Overflows's AI approach, and that Stack Overflow would just stick with human answers only

Assuming if it's for a support team or internal users with a lower SLA, I wonder if it's possible to have a small self-hosted PostgreSQL server that basically acts as a shim by holding a foreign-data wrapper connection to the actu

I feel like they really missed the mark with "Beautiful" as their priority. If I were to make a UUID to API key encoding/serde library I'd definitely prioritise things like human readable characters / phrases (e.g.

I finished the game without cheating. I felt like a frog being slowly boiled (and it really does feel like you're boiling at the end). It's quite the journey... I love how everything here isn't even farfetched. It's just

I do wonder how much is extraversion vs introversion, and much are other factors like shyness/social anxiety, or as another commenter mentioned, being non-neurotypical. I feel like these discussions are full of mislabelled terms and pe

These days whenever I read an interesting article, I will take 2 minutes to copy and paste it into my Obsidian vault under my Articles folder. I'll take care to paste the images as images (and not links) and make sure I've got the

This is what I do too. I use the Obsidian TimeStamper plugin with a nice shortcut (Ctrl + .), and then just have an append-only log of thoughts that each start with a timestamp on its own line. I'll throw in a tag or two if I'm mo

In Singapore, post/ZIP codes refer to a specific address, building, or block. While letters will still have a full name + address, it seems to mostly be there for error correction and to specify unit numbers.

This interestingly opens up another example for exploration of nature vs nurture. I always thought my good eyesight was from genetics from my father's side--but maybe it was the relatively free-range upbringing that he both experienced

This game frustrates me because city positions and explored/unexplored information aren't retained on the map (vs Age of Empires or any game with a "fog of war"). You can be scouring the map in a tight race to find your

Despite its other quirks and pain points, I feel that AWS CloudFormation does a better job of separating the ideas of a set of desired resources (Templates) and their deployed instances (Stacks). I've seen a lot of Terraform best-pract
