This blog is an unbelievable gold mine of information about networking, Linux, and other concepts. It's what I wish my own blog was in my head, if I could somehow summon the time and creativity.

gVisor also has a complete userspace networking stack that you can pull in, which makes it a lot easier to do some neat things like run an HTTP server responding to packets intercepted via eBPF and sent to an AF_XDP socket, which would othe

Finally. All I want for Christmas is a 5K, HDR, 120Hz display. I'm managing with 4K, 120Hz, and scaling to 2560x1440 in Mac OS, but with the latter option I lose HDR. I can't give up 120Hz after getting used to it on all my device

Cynically, I feel like these details are often lost in the two-week sprint cycle or other realities of modern software development process. The Figma file didn't specify autofocus, the PM doesn't care about it, and the engineer ju

I've only had a brief stint in Java in my career, but I got to learn about and use jOOQ, and I think it's such a fantastic option in this space. I'm still a diehard SQLAlchemy fan, and I'd use it in Python-land. For Go,

Recently moved to Seattle from NYC. I'm enjoying Seattle, but it's a joke of a city compared to NYC. Seattle's public transportation—while improving with light rail—pales in comparison. Seattle is, overall, pedestrian-hostile

I empathize with this so hard. I have an early first-initial-last-name Gmail account as well. It's both very generic in the United States, and when combined, a common first name in Brazil. It's nearly unusable at this point, but I

I'm glad other people are having luck with this, but I just couldn't get it to work with my setup. I'm wondering if it's because of the weird MTU and CGNAT on the connections I'd like to bond (300Mbps up and down mu

You can use the WiFi on these things from a surprising distance (hundreds of feet) with a proper antenna. Even with an IPSEC tunnel in place, one can achieve a connection with over 100Mbps upload and download with 5ms latency. That's

CSS Modules have been revolutionary for us. I agree, it's a great compromise. I don't really see any reason to go to CSS-in-JS from here. It's scaled very well with our team and applications.

Sad that this isn't available as an on-premises solution out of the gate. We're stuck using internally-hosted HipChat for compliance reasons and it is absolutely awful. The desktop and web clients have only gotten worse over time.

This is... not my experience at all. I have a RAIDZ2 comprised of 6 4TB Seagate drives (the 5900RPM variety) and it can do about 600MBps read/write with moderate CPU usage on an Intel i3. A mirrored zpool of two Samsung 850 EVO SSDs ca

This is a tad annoying when writing comments with indented code blocks, since it pops up with every `@` you write, which in Coffeescript or Ruby can happen frequently. Great, otherwise.
