For those still not quite getting it: The first copy to RAM was a sequential image copy, thus not bottlenecked on seeks despite spinning platters. The second copy from RAM was a file copy with a lot of random I/O, but not bottlenecked

Thanks for the handshake tone! The more, the merrier: did anyone archive examples from 1200bps up? I've also been fruitlessly searching for line noise examples ~~~~~}}~00 etc. Remote Access had a line noise simulator; someone has to ha

I think the most dangerous advice I got was to avoid DTOs and similarly domain-behaviour-free object graphs. That corner of the .NET world at the time called such a model an 'anaemic domain'. Instead, we were encouraged to model p

Strikes me you could also go through the process using letsencrypt in a container (eg Docker on Linux) and extract the results.

'npm ls' might give you a clue. Most mysteries come down to loose dependency declarations and semver stuffups, sometimes in combination. One of your deps' deps takes a ~ on one of its deps, that dep makes a breaking change an

The payments on technical debt never seem to come due when you expect, nor at the size you expect, hence arguments we should think instead in terms of unhedged call options, e.g. http://www.higherorderlogic.com/2010/07&

On the other hand, there's every reason to believe the "Go [a]Way" prohibition on certain language features will leave Go 2 insufficiently attractive vs Go 1 to overcome the switching costs, dragging out any migration period.

Many correlate "sane" with "statically typed". [1] JacaScript can cope perfectly well with modules A and B relying on different versions of C. It'll often cope even if A calls B with an object it got with C, or some

We rolled our own Flux library before they published any code, dodging singletons and gaining mock-free testability. I just re-wrote it, but will check Flummox out.

I often find bold text helpful for key points, or for the first mention of key terms to help orient me in a document. There was something about the mix in this document that felt inconsistent. I found myself pausing to try to figure out why

Same as everything: look at how it was built. Many of the images are built by CI systems according to Dockerfiles and scripts maintained in public GitHub repos. Audit those, then use them yourself if you're worried about the integrity
