Brazil mentioned! 🇧🇷 🍾

That’s gorgeous. How did you cut the grooves / notches? Table saw?

I’m so glad society has teams allocated to identifying these hard-hitting issues. It’s true - we don’t have enough consumer protections in place for space tourists. A poor innocent space tourist could “go to space” without fully understanding that “space can be dangerous”. Thankfully, these analysts discovered this issue before too many people were “at risk”. Future space tourists will have to sign a waver, or watch a presentation, or something.

The interesting question here is who paid for this “study”, and who from the register accepted the bribes to get this dogshit published.

I love grammars. It’s like an API or a data schema, but for a language. This would be very cool and I would love to see it!

But then arr.length == the last index, and that’s just too convenient :(

The good old days. We ate berries in the woods; enjoyed the company of whomever we pleased; and worshipped the moon simply because it was cool.

Then we invented turbotax and multi-factor authentication :(

Devops is a meaningful term

You’re out here solving impossible problems. You’re “The Fixer” from Pulp Fiction. Fools look at story points. Pros see an unsolvable story that languished for years until you came along and defeated it. A single point for you is an entire epic to other teams.

Everything is a differentiator that can be spun to your advantage. The points aren’t accurate, and you’re the only one with enough guts to step up to the plate and finally work these neglected tickets; even if it won’t “look good” on some “dashboard” - that’s not what’s important; you’re here to help the organization succeed.

If the system doesn’t make you look good, you have to make yourself look good. If you weren’t putting in the effort, it would be hard - but as you say, everyone who takes a deeper look clearly sees the odds stacked against you, and how hard you’re working / the progress you’re making; despite those odds.

Don’t let some metrics dashboard decide your worth, king!

I’m very flaky here, as rust is the big one, but I think zig and/or nim might be

Indeed, and good points. How many users do you have? I assume this isn’t just for you, and setting up multiple nfs shares with tailscale access policies isn’t feasible. SMB might be the best play. I’ll have to refresh my memory on file sharing protocols

NFS for storage, tailscale / wireguard for access control?

Put http://0.0.0.0:11473

Your current setting is the “loopback” address. You’re listening for traffic to this address, and the only thing that can send to the loopback is yourself. This is a safe default, it means only the computer running the software can talk to it. Generally 0.0.0.0 listens on all available addresses. If that doesn’t work, use your local / internal ip.

This ui smells like it’s trying to hide the implementation details, but that makes things extremely difficult when troubleshooting

I’m skeptical of certs, they don’t represent much more than a shallow baseline of knowledge and a minimum initiative to go get them. That being said, they’re much better than nothing.

Imo understanding networking fundamentals is huge. If you google “overthewire banditlabs”, there’s a series of challenges that test / teach you important skills.

Personally, I would rather see banditlabs over a cert, a cert over nothing, and tbh enthusiasm / teachability over everything.

Absolutely - self-hosting something like that is in and of itself a project!

I wouldn’t worry about discoverability - you want to hunt for the job you want, not necessarily wait to be discovered. Once you have a position in your sights, you get to point at your site / projects / git host via everything - your cover letter, resume, business cards, etc.

Having a blog is fantastic. You get to showcase your interests and skills in whatever areas you want, and a good combination of technical capability and enthusiasm will get you in most doors easily.

Linkdin is effectively a personal website generator with social features. Your profile page is the important part, but only if you’re optimizing for “searchability” / random discovery. If you’re doing that, then you’re competing with everyone else who is also doing that.

A personal website is fine; better even. It’s a project all on its own, and you can do cool stuff with it. Show off your projects on it. You can host your code on any platform that supports git, but you’ll get bonus points for using a self-hosted instance.

I have a linkdin account only to reserve my name and link to my website.

Thank you trees

How do you feel about cybersecurity? It’s a much larger field than it appears on the surface, and to my recollection the unemployment rate has never been positive - we have always had more jobs than people.

Vscode already supports linting yaml against a schema file. Once you start configuring your code with configuration-as-code, you’re just writing more code.

If I need to “generate” some insane config with miles of boilerplate, I would use js to build my json, which can be ported to just about anything. This would replace js in that process.

I’m not sold on the need for this.

Even with something like k8s, I’d reach for pulumi before I put another layer on top of yaml.

I am a leaf on the wind
