joshbaptisteon WTF – A personal information dashboard for your terminal

indeed.. I don't do much more then the casual searching on DuckDuckGo and viewing Wikipedia articles and StackOverflow errors.

joshbaptisteon WTF – A personal information dashboard for your terminal

Natted VPS's are usually very cheap (~$5/year) are low on resources by design and are great for pure terminal workflows.

joshbaptisteon WTF – A personal information dashboard for your terminal

Familiarity and low resources needed .. I can use a $5/year natted VPS and program (via Git/Vim), run scripts, surf the web (links), chat on IRC (Weechat) and continue my Tmux/Screen workflow on basically any *nix machine with at least ~16MB memory.

joshbaptisteon How Uber, Facebook and Netflix Do SSH

Actually I didn't know about the Facebook and Uber authentication model .. Google's I read before (here I think).

joshbaptisteon BPF Performance Tools: Linux System and Application Observability

I have multiple books of the same subjects Python, Go, FreeBSD etc.. due to different writing styles and explanations, so for me to grok BPF tracing techniques and performance evaluation at a higher level I would need to read both.

joshbaptisteon Rust as the New C Part 1: Building and Combining Native Libs into C API

Corporate heavyweights no.. but super smart people on the forums https://forum.nim-lang.org/ and its creator https://github.com/Araq

joshbaptisteon Rust as the New C Part 1: Building and Combining Native Libs into C API

hmm I actually see Zig as more of the "new C" and Rust, Go, Nim as more of C++ displacements.

joshbaptisteon Docker Hub Hacked – 190k accounts, GitHub tokens revoked, builds disabled

Exactly.. life in general is about constant refinement.. if today's hacker could time travel to 1999, she would be in a nirvana of Bind, SSHv1, Apache, IIS etc.. vulnerabilities. Hacks happen and we learn and improve, even down to the language being used.. a la Rust.

joshbaptisteon Boeing MAX production cut signals long grounding

ah thanks

joshbaptisteon Boeing MAX production cut signals long grounding

The 737MAX was designed to compete with A320NEO .. why Did Boeing have to move the engines forward while Airbus did not ? AFAIK the NEOs weren’t a complete redesign either

joshbaptisteon Implementing a NES Emulator in Rust

joshbaptisteon Implementing a NES Emulator in Rust

oops fixed.. thx

joshbaptisteon Implementing a NES Emulator in Rust

Implementing an NES emulator is a great way to learn more about a language and the internals of the NES (which is well documented). It's sorta like a rite of passage and has been done in most of the "newer" languages like Nim (https://github.com/def-/nimes) , Go (https://github.com/fogleman/nes)

joshbaptisteon Walmart Requires Lettuce, Spinach Suppliers to Join Blockchain

Nope, a blockchain would serve a good purpose to have disparate entities share immutable data with event history, as today most companies are not giving each other access to their respective databases.
