> it was pushed all at once

For some of my projects I develop against my own private git server, then when I'm ready to go public, create a new git repo with a fully squashed history. My early commits are basically all `git commit -m "added stuff"`

Do you have any criticism of the content, or just "I don't know the author"?

I tell it to do something. It changes behavior. Isn't that a way of learning?

Started using an Ergodox EZ with a custom map after I shattered one of my wrists in a vehicle crash, have stuck with it since.

Using AI you can write a naive scraper in minutes and there's now a market demand for cleaned up and structured data.

My Apple Sillicon macbooks are the coolest running computers I've had in decades. Something might be wrong with your cooling system.

Pretty sure it's rheumatoid arthritis.

This was like fifteen years ago and I just went back to my working Vim setup I was already using for all my other classes.

This would have been great when I was learning Lisp in school! I tried emacs but due to joint issues the keybinds were painful to use, so I gave up and did the course in vim+SBCL's REPL instead.

> Where would one take a machine to dynamically reconfigure envoy? How would one configure it?

When I worked in this area a while back - Ingess Controllers and Ingress / a custom type we made because Ingress was too limited.

We didn't use nginx because it would drop requests and mess up connections during certain config reloads. With a custom controller, Envoy never dropped a connection or request we didn't explicitly tell it to (excepting network reliability of course). For context a slow day for us was many billions of requests.

I'm still trying to convince the scientists I work with that they should format their code or use linters. Making them mandatory in Go was a good decision.

TLS is basically SSL 4. They only changed the name to signal the backwards incompatibility.

Being able to e.g. hook up Claude Code to any webpage would be killer for both web development and task automation.

If you had a really good team, hours. At most companies, days to weeks. At worst, months.

With a well managed Kubernetes, around 5-15 minutes. Not a theoretical time, I have personally had thousands of devs launch that quickly on clusters I ran.

Whisper runs so well locally on recent hardware, I've embedded it directly into hobbyist applications to provide STT-based commands.
