Yes unfortunately for a long time my whole life revolved around 'drug culture', and so did of all my 'friends' and my entire social circle. I certainly cannot act like I did not deserve to come to prison, and it's d

There is definitely a need for this, great idea! Looks like there is a TLS cert issue on the public instance, but I'll be sure to check back in a couple days and check it out.

I asked someone else what they use for rust. Normally I get by well enough with good structured tracing but lately that hasn't been cutting it.

Yeah the whole 'git repo = helm chart' just does not feel great at all. As we all know, the only thing worse is not using helm and having to deal with writing all those service, pv, pvc, ingress yaml files individually :)

Fantastic post, definitely could relate to quite a bit of that.

Very cool! I have been using LLDB quite a bit lately so I am eager to try this out. The state of debuggers dev experience really hasn't caught up to what things like Cargo have done for build systems, so I am glad to see people working

I store my secrets in gpg encrypted files and inject them into my environment in my shell rc file. AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(gpg -d ~/.secrets/aws/key.asc) type of deal. its annoying to put in a password every time i open a new

fun fact. in federal prisons (and some portion of state prisons), books of stamps are essentially $5 bills. It's common to see people with huge wads of stamps in their pockets much like you would with cash. a few years ago, it became m

Love to see someone writing about vtabs, I implemented vtab support for a rust reimplementation of sqlite so I've recently learned a tremendous amount about them. They are very powerful and probably under utilized.

Great read. Love those articles where you go in thinking that you have a pretty solid understanding of the topic and then proceed to learn much more than you thought you would.

at least we all know what apache is, what it does and doesn't do, when it's running and how to start/stop/remove it :) god knows what a microsoft webserver is doing.

Surprised no mentions of sqlite yet :) I've always associated Tcl with sqlite because of how much it is used in their test suite and how you can have a tcl interpreter as a virtual table. Very interesting and seemingly often overlooked

Ouch, 13 days to triage that is crazy. I definitely wasn't in need of any more reasons not to use something like nextJS, but I'll add this to my list.

Little did my guy know that he would be starting one of the more hackernews-ish arguments out there. "is terraform code?", and despite everyone knowing exactly what he means, everyone must try to prove him wrong because he didn&#x

You are welcome sir, I quite enjoyed digging into your implementation a bit. I have been absorbing as much as I can to better understand sqlite and its general ecosystem. Yup you are absolutely right. My thought was that my next post would

Fortune favors the bold, and this is nothing short of that. I've really been enjoying contributing and watching the project continue to gain traction. Excited to see where this goes.

I was actually glued to that page for a few days recently, it's a great write-up. io_uring is such a tremendous improvement over epoll, in both speed and user experience. With sqpoll, vectored ops and proper batching you can get some c

Database engineering, and container engines/runtimes. I've become absolutely bored out of my mind writing backends, web services, etc. For the past month I've been contributing to a sqlite rust rewrite, and I want to continue
