adreamingsoul··on The reMarkable as a notebook and eBook reader
That sounds frustrating. Have you tried providing feedback to them?
adreamingsoul··on Remarkable starts implementing subscription plans for its cloud features
I always enjoy seeing Norwegian companies making headlines on HN.
adreamingsoul··on Rivian S-1
I remember the reasoning of using the bus through Central America was to not attract attention.
adreamingsoul··on Tools to measure software energy consumption from your computer
How is “nationalising energy” anything similar to the socialist state of the USSR?
adreamingsoul··on MangaDex infrastructure overview
No. I think you have a healthy perspective and we should all be questioning if current trends are beneficial/sustainable.

I haven’t read the article, but the headline alone to me seems alarming, $1,500 a month is a lot of money for only 2k rps.

adreamingsoul··on Amazon Genomics CLI
AWS prefers at most three worded service names. Three letter acronyms are easier to remember and pronounce than four.
adreamingsoul··on I went to the office for the first time. I fucking hated it
I miss my office. It’s an actual room that has 3 desks, windows, lights, and a door. Although it does have a glass wall.

I’m so used (conditioned) to working in an open office plan that my desk faces a wall with my back to the room. Idk, it helps me focus.

adreamingsoul··on Strengthening our workplace with neurodiverse talent
(Also on the spectrum) Rules might help, but the behaviour op described sounds like something much more complex. Almost as if they have experienced some trauma.

With guidance and learning we can cooperate and work well with people.

adreamingsoul··on California sues Activision Blizzard over unequal pay, sexual harassment
I would hope that there are a majority of men who do think it is a problem but for whatever reason are silent on the issue. Case in point, I was not going to comment.
adreamingsoul··on Amazon Shuts Down NSO Group Infrastructure
The AWS forums are going to be the best way to start a discussion with people who can escalate.
adreamingsoul··on Cannabis first domesticated 12,000 years ago
Talk to a doctor.

Cannabis is complicated and we don’t yet have much research with humans due to Federal policy in the US.

adreamingsoul··on Ask HN: As a solo founder, what are the reasons not to use Docker?
Also, at that time, look into how resources are being utilised and try optimising for your needs.
adreamingsoul··on Ask HN: As a solo founder, what are the reasons not to use Docker?
In my professional opinion, Docker is great for testing, verifying workflows, and simplifying developer environments.

At the end of the day, it’s just another layer of complexity that could be a liability.

Do you need to use it? No. Like with everything else, it is a tool that requires time to master.

adreamingsoul··on A Storage Crisis
I used Backblaze B2 as an offsite backup for RAW digital film. 1TB took about a month to completely backup, which is not ideal.

B2 worked great and the pricing is indeed excellent, but the volume of raw data to backup over broadband is just not realistic.

I think it would be better to physically mail a drive for archiving raw footage, or use tap drives.

adreamingsoul··on We increased our Lighthouse score by making our images larger
What is the point of a lighthouse score?
adreamingsoul··on Could miniature forests help air-condition cities?
I have a fantasy of replacing roads with forest gardens.
adreamingsoul··on Change.org workers form a union
Good point.
adreamingsoul··on Change.org workers form a union
I don’t have much experience with unions. Here in Norway they seem to be common and a couple of my colleagues are union members. Employment is not “at-will” and so employees already have a lot of rights. From what I understand, the benefits of joining a union are more for salary negotiation, housing loans, and other life benefits. I’d be interested to learn more from anyone who has experience with unions in Norway.
adreamingsoul··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
That’s not a denial.
adreamingsoul··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
I don’t recall any denials on my part, and for a fact I know my first post was a question.
adreamingsoul··on Engineers can disrupt climate change
Yes, I care, and not for the money.
adreamingsoul··on Engineers can disrupt climate change
Hi, I hope the heat wave resolves soon. I love the PNW and this type of event scares me.
adreamingsoul··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
TCP/IP is just one part of that system.

Arpanet as a project built upon existing ideas to create a wide-area network. Yes, this project began in the US and it built upon the work of others.

I wasn’t there and I’m not a historian, but when I try to understand the facts I see many nationalities and countries having contributed to what we ultimately call the Internet.

adreamingsoul··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
It was a collective effort by many people (of varying nationalities) across many countries (US, UK, France, etc../).

But I digress, Arpanet was the first WAN and so I guess I see your point.

adreamingsoul··on ISP announces 86% slowdown “in line with others”
Birthplace of the Internet?
adreamingsoul··on Notes on streaming large API responses
Ah, good old eventual consistency.
adreamingsoul··on Notes on streaming large API responses
This is indeed a fun and challenging type of API endpoint to implement.

I built a streaming statistics server that ingests data from edge nodes and aggregates the data into a memory database.

The server has an API interface and one of the endpoints will stream all the data in either a compact or pretty JSON format.

example of the datasets: millions of unique unordered keys with each key containing a list of time series data.

The memory overhead to stream Gigabytes of data is limited to a couple of MB (buffers for encoding and writing).

I ended up having to write my own JSON encoder to achieve the small memory overhead, JSON formatting, and write performance.

adreamingsoul··on “Please don't waste maintainers' time on your KPI grabbing patches”
key performance indicator? kernel programming interface?

I too ponder the meaning.

adreamingsoul··on The Document Culture of Amazon
I miss that culture.
adreamingsoul··on Windows 10 to be retired in 2025, as new OS unveils
I’m still using Windows 7 on my isolated machine. It’s great.
