I just see this as an experiment to see if the system can survive without the bloat. If we need the bloat, the next person can just put it all back in. It's only 4 years.

This is my side hobby, a server side TUI protocol with a light browser like client that can navigate any TUI. http://uggly.bytester.net The primitives are good enough to build anything you want. Right now I'm trying to figu

I've been saying this in jest for years. KMS is a money printing racket for AWS. It only really helps you if someone walks out of a data center with your hard drive. For everything else the attackers are just going to get your IAM cred

I fully agree. I made a TUI client/server framework loosely modeled around the concepts of CSS/HTML. One of my core design decisions was keyboard only input.

I will never buy a GM until they stop turning their reverse lights on when they're not reversing. This one small feature has wreaked immeasurable havoc on parking lots across the world. https://www.reddit.com/r/car

It seems to only mess it up on mobile. Desktop Chrome seems fine. Mobile Chrome is all I've tested on.

I use ASCIIFlow all the time. I still haven't figured out how to get browsers to render the monospace fonts correctly see example diagram on this page: http://uggly.bytester.net/#how-it-works

Yeah, I'm known as the ASCII diagram guy at work because I use ASCIIFlow a lot. Still not sure if people think I'm a joke. https://asciiflow.com/#/

Yeah, I built a TUI framework for fun. I was playing with making a TUI browser where everything is rendered server side like html and streamed over grpc. http://uggly.bytester.net

I first came across Gemini after making my own HTTP alternative TUI-over-the-wire protocol (uggly)[1]. Gemini has the same motives as I had when I started, but I didn't switch to it for all the same criticisms that are mentioned in the

I love anything TUI related. I spent a lot of time last year making a TUI-over-the-wire protocol with a TUI browser. It's somewhat related to this because it's generating a TUI dynamically based on an input schema coming over the

Not exactly what you're looking for but to solve a similar problem I've been working on a TUI-over-the-wire protocol. http://uggly.bytester.net

This is basically how things used to work. The drawback is that young people with no credit can't build credit easily. You'd be disproportionately favoring those familial lineages with assets and losing out on a huge potential cus

Or it's a trick and the mere fact that you're seeking answers and asking for help is the wisest move of all.

I have no idea why car manufacturers don't have phone holders built in. We're forced to buy cheap crap off the jungle website to suction cup, clamp, or screw into the dash. IMHO it should be a standard like the cigarette outlet.

I hate the reverse light thing so hard. If I see a GM with reverse lights on I completely ignore it and never stop. Thanks GM for ruining something nice.

I think what it is is that nobody wants to force more responsibilities and complexity on Developers so they hire DevOps people. Then the DevOps systems are so complex that it needs a ultra high quality engineer to run them. The whole seed o

Yeah, I expect it will turn into a game and companies will just explode the number of positions so "Software Engineer 1" will become Software Engineer 1a (60k-70k) Software Engineer 1b (70k-80k) Etc...

Exactly, then you need at least 1 architect per app. I wrote an article about this problem: http://blog.bytester.net/posts/cloud-talent/

Dealing with this now for a client. Can't test Redshift AZ relocation feature because there's no way to simulate AZ failure. Only safe bet is full multi region with DNS switcheroo.
