The answer honestly feels a bit lacking, and evasive.

I've had exactly the same situation, ~2M MAU service with REDIS as the only persistence system, all data being JSON serialized Pydantic models. The storage overhead was just terrible and cost real money. This would have been a super ni

How is the write support now-adays, is it production quality now? I used Kaitai in a IoT project for building data ingress parsers and it was great. But not having write support was a bummer.

I honestly zoned out when I saw how many and what steps where required before just wget'ing a image file. Sorry, nope.

Well....toml isn't that much more than .ini files slightly brough up in feature support. Again not great for bigger documents.

This also seems a bit like AWS Chalice reinvented, which might be a good thing as AWS has silently abandoned it.

Great read, but I honestly had wished the author had split it into several separate articles.

I had this literally happen to me a couple of months ago. Slacking off while waiting for some performance tests to run (Shoutout to Locust.io!) with my big 27" screen full of terminals for each runner, server logs etc. ...And then on m

Provision a VPS/VM/Cloud instance/etc, install your dev tools on it and use it over mush. And remember for things like looking up git commands or even a lot of your dependency documentation, you do not need a web browser. Git

The thought someone went from no programming background, taking a company internal course and then writes a GPU emulation layer in the 90's is just absolutely mad. Super impressive!

M68k has the advantage that it has a fairly typical memory model. Alpha's memory model has problems with providing atomic access to single bytes, which i'd imagine in a kernel is a bit annoying :-) And then there's just the s

The ghost of the Alpha's infamously weak memory model coming back to bite it's undead self.

I've used Haskell several times for implementing isolated 'maths business logic units in commercial backend applications. In one such system I built had the main (REST API exposing) backend implemented in Kotlin with a separate a

I think it's even weirder how Sharp/Hudson decided to superficially clone MSDOS for the X68000 independently.

I'm a heavy ReMarkable user, mostly as a note taking device when doing client meetings. For personal use I use it a lot for annotating philosophy papers and source materials, and the lack of a split screen feature is extremely frustrat

I had one in the early 00's. Especially liked packet radio stuff back then, but due to regulatory restrictions in practice the networks built are not really all that useful other then for contacts. So in a way, loved the tech but it&#x

Sorry to reply to a random comment of yours, but did you ever publish your CM-2 emulator?

If you have important Mac disks to archive, then a Kryoflux is probably the way to go. It's a external USB attached floppy drive controller that uses a normal PC floppy drive. It reads the raw disk stream and software then decodes that

I use that mode on a Panasonic S1R to scan 5x4" film negatives, it does actually work. However it requires a solid reproduction column mount, excellent lenses, perfect focus and vibration free environment etc.

I tried to look it up, but are any bootable GNO/ME disk images around? I'd like to see it run in an emulator just out of curiosity.

This seems to have been a pattern with all the 80s home platforms, especially in Europe. I came from the Commodore Amiga, and used mine still in the early 00's all hacked up with cottage industry expansions and software hacks as a Mini

Indeed, his lectures are a great startoff point and presented as such but often his personal opinions and philosophical narrative runs through a bit roughly. I get the feeling he is deeply Christian and mostly looks at the history of wester
