Shameless plug: If you like install.md, you might love Rundown! I've made a Rundown version of an install here: https://rundown.cool/explore/install/

I've taken this a step further with https://rundown.cool . Define runbooks with markdown, and a tool that supports the agent through the workflow.

I have been using Claude Code extensively on a side project (a hard sci-fi orbital tactics sandbox and battlefield simulator written in Rust with Bevy). I recently attempted to create a procedural starfield background with multi-layer paral

BP is probably just getting ahead of the game. The value of this investment is likely to be predicted to plummet and need to be written off anyway. The EU will need to dramatically reduce energy dependence on Russia after this. There will n

Performance in some areas was an issue. Overall benefits productivity and ongoing maintenance weren't enough to be really worth it. There is nuance to it all, because some of it lies in team structure and knowledge as well.

What can I say? As with all things, YMMV. We're happy with it, we launched with zero customer impact, and have had no issues. Perceived performance has increased.

Flutter is not for everything, but it is really worth a look. We (AU MVNO/Telco) recently converted iOS and Android apps (200,000 MAUs) to Flutter and it has been game changing. We had experimented with react native and found it just d

I made a flexible, light-weight, card-based drag-and-drop kanban-ish planning tool called StoryWall and posted the MVP on Hacker News literally the same week Trello was released. Managed to take all the wind from my sails.

At least in AWS, practice is to encrypt all connections between components, and to have granular least privilege permissions at every point. Behind the scenes AWS follows the same principles for the infrastructure. I would argue a lot of cl

In all of these threads on Apple, Google, Facebook and friends, its fascinating that the overall tone and position of technologists has changed over time from radical cyberpunk freedom to "monopolies aren't that bad really".

I was wondering of the V8 engine integration would be something to play with, but think ot just adds inefficiency and doesn't really fix some of the core problems.

I've looked quite extensively at Postgraphile and the extensive dependency on database functions and sql is an issue. Really hard to write tests and SQL itself is not the greatest programming language. The whole setup lacks so many of

I've been doing serverless in anger for years. My vision is to use annotations or decorators to tag functions and have the implementation transparently handled. @spawn //makes this a lambda function fn() ... {} @queue /&

Oh, and other advice is just buy a big roll of filament and experiment - I ran lots of test cubes with different settings to zone in on what worked and understand the relationship between different attributes.

I found it surprisingly accessible. there are a ton of great resources on YouTube, reddit is excellent for advice on tuning and troubleshooting. Thingiverse has too many great models, often with detailed advice and specs for printing. Tinke

Agree that Open Source is core. This might be something that could get crowd funding support. A set of concrete principles, a modest plan* and roadmap and a slick vision captured in a video demo. Modest in that start with 1 or 2 core featur

Is it more likely to be a vast global conspiracy involving such unlikely co-conspirators as the prime minister of new zealand and the POTUS ... or a chaotic and rapidly evolving situation?

Importing 5 backups into 6 made the backups unusable. I might still be able to get them with 5, but need to work out how to do it.

After the latest bersion of Arq destroyed my backups, I moved to the AWS CLI and S3 sync. I have buckets in 2 regions at negligible cost. It's not automatic unless you script something, but it works. You just configure Glacier lifecycl

Rather than thinking of this as a way to get information, a skip level is also an opportunity to be recognised by someone senior. The fact that you have a good grasp of the roadmap gives you a chance to demonstrate strategic thinking and al

Years ago I worked for a startup that provided CMS and ecommerce software for small business. Each of our 3000+ customers had their own MySQL database. We had a long tail of customers with negligible usage and would run several thousand MyS

If you are using Rails, have a look at using PostgreSQL schemas. Single "physical" database but the schemas give you distinct logical databases. Perfect for multi-tenant situations.
