Agreed on both counts - excellent write-up. I use FreeBSD jails and get a lot of value out of separate network stacks for each (vnet jails). Would the NetBSD approach here be to lean more heavily on your lan infra to register hostnames with

I was doing some looping recently with tcl and comparing against another implementation (called Jim [1], a very cool project in its own right) and wondered why datetime formatting was so slow when using `clock format`. The code at [2] provi

Surely you’ve come across situations where line number 10,000,021 of a 60m line CSV fails to parse because there aren’t enough fields in that line of the file…? The issue is that you can’t definitively know which of the 50 fields is missing

Sounds useful from a mental health perspective .. am I right in thinking detractors are concerned about the loss of privacy needed to enforce the bill, or is it something else?

Nah, that's not ironic. What would be ironic is getting RSI after you chose to write less code in order to avoid getting RSI.

Your post was very clear, nicely done!

Oh I see - thanks for clarifying. Also, apologies - I could have asked a question about AI demand instead of assuming you were slapping a "now with AI" label on your product.

I’m sure that website didn’t mention AI at all a year ago; now it seems if you’re not doing something AI you aren’t the customer they built this platform for. Strange.

I’m sure the role is meant to have some sort of value, but in the last decade I’ve only seen one human do a good job of it. That person delivered value to the team and made a tangible difference to velocity (removing blockers) and effective

Would it be correct to say the these client libraries provide the functionality (eg ease of transactions, once only, recovery) whereas your cloud offering solves the scaling / performance issues you’d hit trying to do this with a regul

FFS - thanks for the paywall.

Land was a productive asset, made so via farming by the people who lived on the land and did the work. Someone else will be able to point out when serfs stopped being a thing.

I would imagine it's a similar number per unit of area/yield/weight to that required to feed animals. In both instances, the crops are harvested and transported for use in very similar ways. I don't know whether I'd

Yes! That has been my experience at a (now long since failed) start-up. We didn't communicate top-down, or cross-functionally very well. The executive team, with lots of support from HR, rolled out a really heavy, very process-centric

I assume you're referring to being consistent - keeping the team focused on the (predefined) strategy, not getting distracted and going off on tangents... Seems pretty reasonable to me.

I've found that when a (good) boss realises that you're solving organisational (boss-relevant) problems and getting things done, they start pushing harder problems your way. When done in a supportive way, this helps propel you up

Yes, the litany of difficulties that provide a scaffold upon which people can give themselves permission to do... nothing. I wonder if sometimes a clearly vocalized moral view strikes people as judgemental, so there is a reactive need to id

In your last sentence, were you meaning to minimize animal explotation (or just exploitation in general)? I ask because I think veganism is often confused with lots of other good things.. I like to refer to the original (AFAICT) definition:

that was a good read and quite interesting. liked that it provided a viable strategy for doing a reset and cycling use so that you still get the health benefits.

Plant-based diets and veganism are often conflated. "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpo

I've been thinking about the walled garden thing recently. Several of my friends who are /long/-time users of FB - thanks to its ability to gather scatterlings from across the world - have started talking about creating (logi

They are different worlds.. each actor would be analogous to an independent stream app; or one stream app with lots of KStream/KTable “components”, which feels like an anti-pattern.

Irregardless, you say? So that would be, what, a lack of a lack of regard.. so, with regard then. Jolly good!

Would it be accurate to say that your ability to count something new, starting from a previous point in time (i.e. not just from 'now') is dependent upon how easily you can replay your stream (I'm thinking in Kafka terms); or

Thanks for that link. I'm taking a portfolio approach, whereby I'll average in over time until I'm holding about 20 or so plants. Worst case I'll have some lovely shade and beautiful green trees.

Whatever. In my part of the world the seed market is excellent. I recently planted out 9 pumpkin seedlings, which are doing well thanks to the recent rain. I've also got about 30 capsicum seedlings and two lychees, which are coming alo

I'm a bit late to the party on this post, but a lot has changed since 2015, too: - Kafka writes its topic offsets into, er, Kafka, rather than Zookeeper; which means ZK load is much lighter. I'd be interested in knowing more about
