This is very accurate

Brilliant
jeremycarter··on Amazon reveals first color Kindle, new Kindle Scribe, and more
It's really just an Android tablet with some hardware and software that's there to facilitate reading and reduced eye strain. It's nothing entirely revolutionary but I find the price point to be the feature I like the most. Having spent $1000s on Galaxy Tabs over the years it's amazing the value for money the 11 model is.
jeremycarter··on Amazon reveals first color Kindle, new Kindle Scribe, and more
It's nothing to write home about, but you know its just "okay". The best part about the NXTPAPER devices is their price point. Perhaps NXTPAPER generation 4 will be better?
jeremycarter··on Why does everyone run ancient Postgres versions?
I've maintained a few large postgres databases and completely agree.

Have you seen the TCL Nxtpaper 14? It's huge! I'd imagine reading a textbook on it would be as good as the real thing.
jeremycarter··on Amazon reveals first color Kindle, new Kindle Scribe, and more
For a similar purpose I use the TCL Nxtpaper 11. There are also a larger version.
jeremycarter··on Erasure Coding for Distributed Systems
When I was younger, I literally thought PAR's were magic files. I had no idea how they worked, and from a distance it was magic.

The Cloudflare durable object is very much the same as a Virtual Actor

jeremycarter··on Building a highly-available web service without a database
I have built some medium sized systems using Microsoft Orleans (Virtual Actors). There was no transactional database involved, but everything was ordered and fully transactional.

If you choose say Cosmos DB, MongoDB or DynamoDB as your persistence provider you can even query the persisted state.

jeremycarter··on Official proposal for Type Unions in C#
Actually not a bad solution. Thanks for sharing
jeremycarter··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
This is true. Linux large fleet management is still missing some features large enterprises demand. Do they need all those features, idk, but they demand them if they're switching from Windows.
jeremycarter··on Free-threaded CPython is ready to experiment with
Takes what crown? Python is horrifically slow even single threaded. It's by far the slowest and most energy inefficient of the major choices available today.
jeremycarter··on Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster
I could be wrong, but it might be able to host native components or draw your own.
jeremycarter··on Uno: Create Beautiful Cross Platform .NET Apps Faster
Problem with it? It's good enough for the millions of web pages out there.
jeremycarter··on Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
Thanks!
jeremycarter··on Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
I see this becoming an Azure service. But you are right, half of the Microsoft Research projects fizzle out within a year - unless used internally.
jeremycarter··on Garnet – A new remote cache-store from Microsoft Research
Each Orleans node could have a Garnet node, I can see the Aspire configuration now

jeremycarter··on Web Components Eliminate JavaScript Framework Lock-In
Accurate quote. Source: I was there.
jeremycarter··on Web Components Eliminate JavaScript Framework Lock-In
I remember 2012, ASP.NET MVC Razor pages, combined with individual page knockout Js. Actually worked quite well. Infact that system is still running for that company. Sure we could have made a angularJS 1.0 SPA at the time, but knockout meant we only had to apply the pattern to the pages that needed it.
jeremycarter··on Running Windows 98 in the Browser
All of my computer muscle memory is from Windows 2000. It was surprisingly accessible for it's time. Modern macOS still can't use the tab key correctly to tab focus between certain buttons, inputs and actions.

Looking good. I worry about crossover and integration though. Will this be hosted on Dapr? What about Microsoft Orleans?
