This! As someone who moved 6 times in 8 years (admittedly, some of those were for work), and every time, I relied on moving things myself/with friends, I was just tired any more! For the last move, I hired movers since I was already ma

I couldn't help but resonate with a lot of what Kyle says here. If not already, we will soon lose the ability to think if AI is helping humans (an overwhelming majority of them, not a handful), considering how we are steaming ahead in

Riak was one of the OG k/v stores by [basho]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basho_Technologies ). They were kind of early to the world of distributed k/v stores and flourished quite a lot but ultimately got usu

I've been to Cloudflare's SF office many times for meetups and even for an interview and their lava lamp wall is one of the coolest stuff I've seen in an office. So cool to see that they've built something similar in the

Given the fact that multi-modal LLMs are getting so good at OCR these days, is it a shame that we can't do local OCR with high accuracy in the near-term?

Does Norway allow Chinese car makers into the market? Skoda is popular but I wish the article also mentioned the median value of an EV in Norway. At least in the US, the cost of acquiring an EV is the major deterrent from what I can see. If

For the most part, one should also likely get a compatible phone and Samsung phones that support DEX are not cheap! I have a Pixel and have owned Pixel phones for a while and it's a shame that Google is only just opening up HDMI extern

I'm glad someone asked this question and one of my often quipped quotes is - if you squint hard, every software project is some kind of a migration. And there are some excellent suggestions by others. Having led my fair share of migrat

Doesn't work on phone. Especially if you're on the road. If you're at home and use YouTube on multiple devices, of course you can use a pihole or something. I have a long commute (which is not very unreasonable). YouTube Prem

The Top Down book by Kurose and Ross is hands-down one of the best books for Networking and is very relevant even today to understand the patterns. Things like retries, backoffs, checksumming, error detection etc. can be done in multiple la

At my previous job, I ran a small-ish library at my desk. Just brought up all my books and had them under my desk for people to peruse and take. At current job, I do have a good enough library - but I hardly go into the office ;D

You cannot expect that from people! People will be people. Anything that is open to abuse, it will be abused!

Fascinating read. I still remember using decorators when writing OpenMP code in python. Instant parallelism without having to fiddle with pthreads and the like.

I'd recommend reading content by copyconstruct on their medium blog and also content by Honeycomb and it's CEO/CTO. Lots of first principles content that you can learn and apply to any system. Once you're familiar with t

This was quite hard hitting. I mean, if you're a consumer in the US where even a simple piece of fruit comes packaged often in plastic, you know the piece of plastic isn't going to be completely recycled. I always thought this end
